Ugh, I want these games to be good soooo bad, but the only way they could be entertaining was if they had the Unskippable commentary over it like Riff trax.

You know this game wasn't that bad. It had a pretty okay story and many of the puzzles weren't half bad. The video was hilarious so thank you for doing a random and obscure title!
According to The Star's website, there's totally boobs in The Star... just not... the best?Erja_Perttu said:
I'm definitely not interested in playing the game after this, but I must say; this does seem like an excellent candidate for the next Unskippable: Let's Play... (If there'll be a next one. I hope there'll be a next one...)
I think that's wrong. They're done a few decent cutscenes from good games. Bad cutscenes are easier to make jokes about and are therefore more plentiful in the archive, but nothing's really off limits for them. Where are people getting this getting this notion that when a game ends up on the series it's automatically horrible?K4RN4GE911 said:
Anyway, OT: The thought of a camera man being notorious for spontaneously kicking people in the junk made me laugh for quite a while. As for the game, I was genuinely surprised when you guys said this was a 360 game. Goodness, the dialogue, the camerawork, the graphics... it's like they weren't even trying. And normally when shovelware like this gets put on the shelves it's to promote something cash in on some console gimmick. WHY THE HELL WAS THIS MADE?!?
Actually in the books he does occasionally smoke cigarettes but not that often. I don't think too many people know about that but then again it's such a minor detail that it's not surprising.
I played the game on steam a few months back if you get pats the cheep voices and the 1990s graphics its rather good.
Mostly because it had good puzzles and writing.

As soon as I saw the title of the game being done, I knew the cutscene was going to be horrible. I was not wrong.
As a fan of the Sherlock Holmes TV series that aired on Mystery many many years ago, with Holmes playted by Jeremy Brett, seeing this unbelievably bad portrayal is... nauseating.
Also, to whoever created the game, "X vs Y" is a TERRIBLE pattern to follow when making a title. Even if that's what the game is about, don't use that for the title. It reeks of a bad fanfic author being hired to write the game.

The GAMES are not automatically horrible, but by definition the CUTSCENES here are ones Graham and Paul think are bad. A good game can have a bad cutscene, or a good cutscene that someone else THINKS is bad.
LOL Watson is the Ninja Cat! You know, Watson teleporting around is either a glitch or the designers preferred to save animation time by having him teleport next to the player instead of just walking after him. But that kind of thing could be a really effective scare tactic in a horror game. Having the monster or whatever be in one place and you turn away, and then when you turn back it's gone and then BOOM! it's right next to you. And you run like a frenzied maniac trying to get away but it just keeps popping up next to you.k-ossuburb said:
Or like those mannequins in Bioshock. Maybe there's a creepy ass statue or something and you kinda of look at it, and then later you come back and you're like, hey where'd it go? And then you start seeing it in different places thinking maybe it's just another statue that looks the same. Maybe you could break off part of the statue or whatever, and then you see it again and it's got the same part broken and then you realize HOLY SHIT that thing's been following me...
Especially since its so inaccurate. The first book made a point of saying that Holmes had memorized all of London down to being able to identify where someone has been by the soil on their shoes.RelexCryo said:
As for the video I will now forever imagine playing a first person game where playing a teleporter who can control others with his mind whenever I play a firs person game now. Although technically I think that might be a second person game.
Oh wow. Sherlock is like every emo, arrogant, self-entitled, ignorant douche I have ever met all rolled into a bad accent! This game is NOT on the Christmas list.
Based upon what I think was a third arm (?) with claws, I'm going to guess that JtR was some sort of werewolf and/or supernaturally inclined being. I'd watch it again to check what I saw but just the thought of skipping through Sherlock's whiny drawl makes me feel sick.
