I enjoyed HR and still need to get back for the plat but the spots of bad writing (and directing) can’t all be blamed on a language barrier, some dialog maybe (along with the actor issues) but plot holes and other issues, not so much. Many of the problems could have been fixed early on if Cage let someone with experience proof read the script, if his ego allowed it.

There were plot holes you could have driven a semi sideways through and the use of some of the worst, cheapest story telling tricks that even writers who over a weekend have to bang out scripts for those crappy made for Lifetime movies avoid like the plague. Not to mention character problems… I would give examples but I don’t want to post spoilers here. Plenty of examples can be found with a quick search.

I do wish people would stop putting him on a pedestal, give Cage and those who funded HR credit for taking the risk of making a “big budget” glorified P&C Graphic Adventure on a platform where GAs generally don’t exist outside Telltale Games. Give credit for the tech used but stop with the hype!

I am looking forward to B:TS and was captivated by the tech demo, just hope the writing is a lot better.

I missed out on buying Indigo Prophecy on PS2 because I wasn’t sure whether or not I would like it.

This generation has made great strides in that department though, with demos being available for most of the games released this generation.

I went from about a 40 game library combined between PS1 and PS2, to over 150 games between retail discs and SEN downloads for the PS3.

My only gripe is that for about the last year, demos for big games have been released weeks or months after the street release date, and I’m sure that I’m not the only person that has been burned on missing out on pre-order bonuses because they waited to play a demo version before spending their hard-earned money on a new experience.

Quick question when will Indigo Prophecy be put on PSN as a PS2 classic? I really want to play it.
