Ghost Trick - Page 2

$4?! Where the hell did you people buy it?

I mean I only had to pay 30 bucks and that was a great deal for such an excellent game, but come on.

And I saw a lot of the plot twists coming yes but they were still EXCELLENTLY handled.

My favourite thing about the game is at various times, it seems to have the old Phoenix Wright problem of "stupid things happening for plot/game convenience", but later it turns out that THEY ARE NOT STUPID AT ALL. Everything is explained except for why Yomiel can suddenly manipulate inanimate objects in the submarine... I thought he could only possess organic things? If so, why can he turn into a pile of rubble with a grabby claw that saves Lynne?

END GAME SPOILERS: They don't actually dissipate in the morning. Also, Missile can't use the telephone movement system. So yeah.

Wait, four bucks? Is this a DSiWare thing?

It's $29.99 where I'm planning to buy it. I have a $25 gift card. So.... $5 technically.

Okay nevermind then, if it's that much then my priority is shifted back to Mass Effect 2 for PS3.

Thank you for mentioning this. I want this game, but I will wait until it is cheaper to pick it up. The rest of the money on the gift card I have will go towards Pokemon White.

Ended up buying Ghost Trick and a used copy of Ico at full price elsewhere. So much for saving money.

But AAAAAHHHHSOAWESOME! i stayed up till 1:30 a.m. playing Gost Trick for five hours straight.

The thing that really pissed me off was, after playing until 4:30 in the morning, I knew I was getting extremely close to the end and was struggling to get the timing right for one of those godforsaken puzzles, but I was almost there and

then the game froze on me. And it had been a hefty chunk of time since the last savepoint.

I think I've seen on the webs that I'm not the only person to have a problem similar to this, so there's another little mark on what is otherwise an amazing game.

I know this was posted a while ago, but it was never actually answered so I'll do that now. He could always maipulate inanimate objects, too. Remember him knocking the gun out of Cabanela's hand with the lamp?

Then why did he ask Sissel to do his own inanimate manipulations? There was plenty of room (and time, since transportation is instantaneous) for Yomiel to launch the egg, then skip back to save the girl.

Still an outstanding game, though.
