Problem is that when you are a split second too late in perform some action, it is 'game over'. I want to play that part with the YouTube-playthrough in a small corner of the screen and copy all the actions. Otherwise it is impossible to get through that part!!
- #2 - 19.12.2015 18:27 AbandonwareDOS@Jurjen: I've always found action (or similar) sequences in adventure games the worst thing a designer could put in a game. Star Trek and Rise of the Dragon come to mind.
