"Anti-climactic" is the best...@Anonymous<br /><br />"Anti-climactic" is the best word for it. It comes out of left-field and has no emotional payoff. Some reviews say that the ending to Quest for Glory III similarly feels rushed and tacked-on, but I do not find that to be the case. Somehow, because they tied it in with the rest of the game, QfG III's endgame works a hell of a lot better than PQ III's.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16946742995687817751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-65490661237202827542015-11-09T22:38:27.284+11:002015-11-09T22:38:27.284+11:00@TBD

Interesting!<br /><br />Jane Jensen, as we will see with her own games, is a VERY good writer. That's why I was kind of shocked to see her name pop up in these credits. However, the fact that Walls left midway through this game's creation makes sense and goes to explain the incongruous feel between the two halves of the game.<br /><br />The driving interface is one of the most tedious I've ever come across. Police Quest II had the right idea: DRIVE TO STATION, etc. Although, I don't know if the highway patrol sections would have worked without a player-controlled interface.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16946742995687817751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-15848606247535807642015-11-09T22:31:20.343+11:002015-11-09T22:31:20.343+11:00I guess so, Ree.

Plus "do the paperwork!" is one of the first "puzzles" in the game.

JJ is a good writer and all, but you can really tell that the development ran into a couple of problems.<br /><br />To me, the driving is the biggest "intentional" problem of the game. The bugs are horrible, too, but those weren't quite intentional (I hope). 1/4 of the game is spent driving, and it is no fun whatsoever, so yeah, to me it was a huge dealbreaker.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-17838644972237496972015-11-07T05:19:02.630+11:002015-11-07T05:19:02.630+11:00Agree that if that was the subplot it would have b...Agree that if that was the subplot it would have been rather good set up, but I wonder what the payoff would be?
