I want to like it... I think it will be one of those games to play with 4 or 5 people in the room, so the extremes are that much more enjoyable.

That being said, I can't bring myself to pay $60 for 6 hours of game play/cutscenes. I wish I could, because I love the risk they took with this... but I just can't... and that makes me really sad.

A tad off topic, but did anyone else find the black and white mode way more immersive?

Some of the texture and color work in the game left a little to be desired and the black/white mode seemed to help smooth that over... Plus it helped to make it feel like an old pulp detective story.

...watching* some fan made...

Sigh, proofreading.

This was so overrated and under produced. I don't know why there are fans of it. It's like watch some sad fan made video on youtube (incoming downvotes from Felicia Day fanbois).

Thanks for the spoiler, Joystiq. You couldn't use the OTHER picture as your headline photo? Idiots.

I'm a magician, so I prestige all the time.

@Mach2 You stole my reply :\

I agree completely. The reverse/slow mo trailer is much, much more cinematic. It just plays out exactly what you already know, piece by piece. Clever. The chronological trailer just doesn't have the same gusto for the music or anything.

Kudos to the cinematic team for their choice/editing on that original trailer.

My friend bought the game... and I didn't see any worthiness of the hype that followed it.

If people complain about Americans making an American Akira movie, why don't they say the same thing about the butchering of this story, eh?

On top of that, the game play was contrived, story was shallow, and it just... sounded bad, played poorly, and bleh...
