mh2k8 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Anybody here managed to play a bit of The Vampyre Story yet? I wanna hear what you think of it. I ask because it's not available on my favourite warez site. it's available now but too big to download because of stupid bandwidth limits. it's not available in australia yet :| And there is no chance I am downloading it right now. None whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascovel Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 In short: it's very good. Can't talk now. Must play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Udvarnoky Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 It's great. I hope to get a Mojo review up at some point in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabez Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I saw some mixed reactions in the comments for the demo... were they unfounded? Or was it just a bad demo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B00 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Playing it right now actually, stumped on this one puzzle though. Playing the full game not the demo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sven_Q45 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 AVS and Mata Hari are on the way! I hope I can start tomorrow with AVS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B00 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I won't spoil it for you but it can be pretty off at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Udvarnoky Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I saw some mixed reactions in the comments for the demo... were they unfounded? Or was it just a bad demo? The only complaints I saw about the demo that weren't related to technical problems (ran fine for me) was Mona's voice, which for my part was infinitely more tolerable in the actual game. I wouldn't say it's a bad demo so long as you don't delude yourself into thinking it's anything other than just that: a demo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ascovel Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Today arrived: I must say that the Mata Hari box looks much better in close-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Igl85 Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Anybody else preordered on game.co.uk and is wondering, what is up with the release date being January 2009 ? And does anybody from UK know anything about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven_Q45 Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I´m ready! (ca. 8 hours) And I started Mata Hari after AVS immediately! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascovel Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I just finished AVS. I have to say some nasty bugs have diminished my satisfaction from playing greatly. I wonder about some of them. For example, I can't decide if the random graphical glitches I encountered were caused only by some incompatibility with my own hardware. They were really odd.

Sven_Q45 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 There was no big problem for me. Yes a few bugs on the book shelf in the castel and so one. On one point Mona speeking english in the german version. And I could play it again immediately. But this time in english. But now I must play other adventures first!! So I´m now ready with Mata Hari, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascovel Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Sven, did you have to use the stadium backdoor to get to the orchestra song list during your playthrough? Because I experienced a glitch that just magically transported me there at a certain point in the game. In regard to Mata Hari, I'm very curious how conventional or unconventional its gameplay is for an adventure game. It seemed very reliant on mini-games from descriptions.

Maratanos Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Okay, does anybody by any chance have a save game from right after they got into the boathouse? Because I'm fairly sure a bug broke my game. I emptied the perfume bottle then refilled it, and now I need it empty to create a potion, but it won't let me do it again. I suppose I could wait for a patch, but... Edit: it just occurred to me there should be enough overlap between the saves that something from the arrival at the lab would work too.

The Tingler Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Speaking of save files, where exactly is the save game folder? Anybody else preordered on game.co.uk and is wondering, what is up with the release date being January 2009 ? And does anybody from UK know anything about it? Play and Amazon have shipped, but GAME are still insisting on next year. Cancel your order and go with one of the other two - they're also cheaper. However, Amazon appears to be out of stock!

Maratanos Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Okay, that is actually a pretty good question and I'll tell you that if it weren't for timestamps on files, I wouldn't have figured it out either. Here's the deal. Go to A Vampyre Story\game\assets\scripts. Yeah, it's a weird place for save files. But sort by date modified and you'll find a section consisting of several sets of three files each. Two are .bmps and one is a .bin. I couldn't possibly tell you how the file names are chosen, but that's the save games. Pick the right one based on the date-stamp, which you should be able to pair up with the datestamp as viewed in the load menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, sadly, Amazon doesnt ship video games to my country and Play doesnt shipe anything at all I'm counting on sendit.com at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven_Q45 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 @Ascovel You need an employee ID from the stadion. I had only a bug at the book shelf in the castle and there was a point where Mona speeks english in the german version. I played it without big problems.
