Title: Hotel Dusk:Room 215 - The Phantom Wish Room
Post by: ShyGuy on January 06, 2007, 09:09:10 AM
So I go into Gamestop today to see if I can reserve Hotel Dusk. Of course, I'm lucky enough to get the "Dude" cashier. It was in their system but he couldn't make a reserve or tell me when it was coming out. (Nintendo's site says Jan 22nd) After making five phone calls, none of the other stores had a clue either. Looks like I'm screwed out of the title yet again. Thanks Gamestop! Sure glad you own every freaking game store in town.

NoA haven't hyped this at all. Might be a limited release thingy.

Adventure games just aren't hyped the way they used to be.

With that boxart it's a wonder they're even allowed to release it.

That's got to be the worst box art in history. It looks like something a five year old makes for their blog as a placeholder.
"Durrr durr...I've got tow pieces of concept art...I'll just blurr them together so they're one image! DURR DURR. And I'll make the title RED because I like red. And OMG my programz makes shadows! AND THE TEXT CAN GLOW! OMG LOOK AT IT! IT'S GLOWING! OMGZ I AM SO HAPPY!!! OH...I PUBLISHED IT WITHOUT CHANGING THE FONT...oh wellz...IT GLOWS WHO CARES!!!!!!"

Yeah, the font they used is pretty bad...Thankfully the art is really good...

I don't think it's half bad...
It's kinda mysterious...

I agree that the text is very "I just learned Photoshop"ish... but the pictures themselves are great in the way they are used and see no problem with the cover as a whole on account of it.

Personally, I like it. Has a hardboiled Sam Spade/Thin Man/Phillip Marlowe feel to it.

Holy crap, EGM, the most harsh gaming mag out there, gave Hotel Dusk an 8, 8, and a 10...Can't wait!

I'm glad I put my order in, because it looks like the kind of game I could fall in love with.

That's like a rating of 70 from Famitsu!

I'm still surprised that EGM picked the Wii over the PS3 in their Wii vs PS3 issue.

How come there's been so little buzz about this game? Only two reviews up, and we can't even read them (magazines)..
The release date is today.

Show's they're inconsistent and therefore CANNOT BE TRUSTED.

Etoychest has a review up. It seems that the game is meatier than Trace Memory, which is good, and it doesn't lead you around by a string, which is also good. And the conversation system sounds intriguing.

I don't care in NWR gives the game a -13 out of 10, I'm getting it.

I'm torn between this and Phoenix Wright 2. I'll pick up both of them eventually, but which do I play first? The suspense is killing me!

Buy the one that will disappear from store shelves because Capcom only made three dozen copies first.

I bought Hotel Dusk today (after trying to track it down since Monday). I've only played an hour, but so far I really like it. As for Phoenix Wright, I liked the first one a lot, but I think I'd rather wait for #4, since it looks like it'll be coming out within another year or so.

I finally got this game, really liking the art style and the vertical screens.
My only question is when do I get a gun so I can start shooting more bad guys? A sword would work too.

You get a shotgun when you find all the secret numbers in the hotel, including the one located in Dunning's toilet.

Mad Bumps for Louis DeNonno!
FInally finished the game today, 31+ hours. Really liked it, I hope they do a sequel or "spiritual sequel" to this game.
BTW, anyone know how to get the Jenny comes back ending?

Screw up as little as possible and get no Game Overs...(You can tell you screwed up when a red static line goes across the screen after choosing an inappropriate response...)

Funny you should bump this; I'm starting chapter 10 tonight. I should beat it before I go to bed.
BTW, Cing fails yet again for stupid one-time events. Stupid coins.

Post by: Bill Aurion on June 27, 2007, 08:38:15 AM
That's okay, the vending machine stuff isn't needed to get the best ending...It merely can be used to regain some "mistakes" made against a certain person...

My favorite part is how Kyle is such a jerk to Iris all the time. Normally in the response options you get a good reply and bad reply. I remember in one instance, my two choices to talk to her were "You're nuts." or "You must hate kids."
Title: RE: Hotel Dusk:Room 215 - The Phantom Wish Room
Post by: Bill Aurion on June 27, 2007, 09:20:07 AM
Well, remember...You don't HAVE to activate the yellow "!" icon all the time... =)
That way you can avoid pissing her off too much...
Title: RE: Hotel Dusk:Room 215 - The Phantom Wish Room
Post by: ShyGuy on June 27, 2007, 12:26:14 PM
Or if you don't activate the yellow icon in some conversations, you can lose the game.

I finally have this game!
well I don't exactly have it, my cousin bought it and I borrow her copy, I hate not owning the game, but now with a copy around my social circle makes it impossible for me to buy it now, it would seem like a waste of money, and I'm in no position to do that.
I'm stuck though right after helping the old lady into the restaurant, Loui gave me a pen and now he and rosa are washing dishes while I wait for the old lady to finish her meal, what do I have to do? I've knocked every door, explored every inch of the hotel, and it still doesn't occur to me what to do with the pen, or just what to do, I thought I just had to return melissa the doll, but no one answers in her room, I don't know what I missed.
I would consult a guide by the tend to spoil things so easily...
Title: RE: Hotel Dusk:Room 215 - The Phantom Wish Room
Post by: Bill Aurion on August 28, 2007, 04:46:39 AM
There's a name on the pen that you can't make out...Hmmmmm...
Title: RE: Hotel Dusk:Room 215 - The Phantom Wish Room
Post by: ShyGuy on August 28, 2007, 07:42:29 AM
This is the first place I got stuck in the game.
Anyway, here is a slightly less vague hint than Bill has given. some sort of.... powdery substance can fill in grooves
Title: RE: Hotel Dusk:Room 215 - The Phantom Wish Room
Post by: Bill Aurion on August 28, 2007, 10:10:59 AM
Don't go giving the whole puzzle away...
Title: RE: Hotel Dusk:Room 215 - The Phantom Wish Room
Post by: ShyGuy on August 28, 2007, 03:08:42 PM
What? the solution is a bit of a leap especially when the rest of the game is fairly logical. We're all just not as hardcore as yuo Bill
Oh, btw, I saw a Metroid hat at PAX. Cute asian girl was wearing it.
Title: RE: Hotel Dusk:Room 215 - The Phantom Wish Room
Post by: mantidor on August 28, 2007, 05:36:36 PM
Stole that hat and send it to me!
Thanks for the help, without the more clear clue I wouldn't have done it, but now I'm stuck in the switch part I just got there so I haven't giving it much thought, the game clue isn't that helpful though, "two hands"?, that was pretty obvious, an unnecesary hint really.
Have I mentioned how awesome this game is? because it is, and I want more and more and more, I hope for many point and click adventures in the future of the handheld.

Indeed. Unfortunately Cing are stuck with that gimmick game on Wii that will never get off the ground.
Title: RE: Hotel Dusk:Room 215 - The Phantom Wish Room
Post by: mantidor on October 26, 2007, 07:49:39 PM
I finished!
awesome, awesome game, I can't wait for the next adventure game for DS, there will be a next one, right? there has to be!
Not sure if I got the best ending, I guess not, so I might replay it again, I'm hoping for a better ending for some characters, it was pretty depressing.

Post by: IceCold on October 26, 2007, 08:41:48 PM
There's Touch Detective, Professor Layton (which I'm really excited for, but it's more puzzle than adventure oriented), and Trace Memory (have you played that already?), plus some others that I forget.
