I vote that we are going to say something nonsensical, and then follow it up with the disproportionate application of violence to solve our problem. Just a hunch.

Yeah I spent too long trying to figure out what was going on there. I was in bed reading on my iPad so I was sleepy. Did he slip? Was he surprised at something he saw? Did someone punch him??? oh no wait I think what you need to do is throw glass shards in everyone's eyes and run away! Either that or use the nail file you stole from your neighbor and shiv the witness. Or give the cop the casino ticket from the catacombs and he'll go away. skoolmunkee fucked around with this message at 14:46 on Mar 5, 2015 |

PART 7 Jack Orlando is suspected of murder. Again. We'll have to escape, but first there's a hell of a lot of talking. This whole update, in fact, will be mostly dialog. Music for this update: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTiWvLZhb9M   Don't believe him. I saw him firing, it was him! Would you stop insistin' on this nonsense! I can't stand it when somebody talks a whole lotta crap.For once, I'm with Jack -- this whole situation is ridiculous.  I think we'll be takin' a statement from this gentleman now. What do you think, Steven?Moustache Cop takes the witness away. Hey, maybe I've got somethin' to say about this too. To be sure, Mister Orlando. Not only in this business but the one from this mornin' too. A lot of things are gonna have to be explained. This guy won't be killin' anybody again. He was murdered by his boss, the guy who gave him his orders. He killed Reynolds last night. His name is August Bellinger. Very clever. It's just too bad I can't ask him. At least not in this life. Yeah, it is too bad. I had a lotta questions to ask him. Not bad, Orlando, not bad at all. I wouldn't have thought you capable of it. Oh, I'm just thinkin' out loud. You'll surely be havin' a conversation with the inspector, in great detail. Sure, I'd like to speak to Tom. I can imagine. Wait here, he'll be here any minute.Now, lots of you have suggested ways to solve this whole cop situation. Here's the real solution:  A flawless getaway. The next thing to do is visit Frank's Garage, because that's what the walkthrough says to do next. Frank has a covered car sitting in his yard, and this is an adventure game.   Here is the interior of Frank's Garage. What item do we need?   Also, the car in the middle? That's Jack's car. It's here now.  Yeah. Too bad it's my car. Hey, no problem. I'll fix that. I'm already tremblin' about the size of the check. Ahh, no problem. Everybody thinks too much about money. When can I pick up the car? It should be ready for tomorrow about noon. I need it pretty badly. Ok. I'll fix it in a coupla hours.If you don't talk to Frank, and pick these exact dialog choices when you do, the car won't get fixed. And you will be unable to finish the game. You may remember that the casino is in "the restaurant." That may sound vague and unhelpful, but fortunately there's only one place to eat in this town and it's literally called "Restaurant."  I hope they have FOOD in RESTAURANT!  They don't actually have food in the restaurant, it's just a bar. It's a restaurant-themed bar. Jack has a casino chip and a casino ticket, so he's qualified to enter.   I'll do my best.What?  Here's the casino, which is run by Don Scaletti. Jack is trying to track the mob boss down, to ask him about the murders. The normal way to accomplish this is just bother all the customers, asking them where Scaletti is, until the guards get mad enough to take you to him.  There's a faster way, though:  Pull a gun on someone, and you're immediately taken into custody. Which is exactly what we want!  Well, actually he just asked one guy and then waved his gun around at everyone like an rear end in a top hat, but I guess that's pretty much the same thing. If you didn't tie Smith up, at this point he runs in and kills you. It's bullshit.  I don't remember invitin' you to dinner. What kinda guy are you? Private detective.Jack Orlando, ace detective.  That's right. I got his ID and his gun. His name's Orlando. That changes everything. Why're you here? I'm doing an investigation. And I wanted to check out this casino. I found the ticket in a certain Mr. Bellinger's car. That's nonsense. Bellinger has an appointment with me tomorrow morning. He had an appointment you mean. Bellinger got shot today. With a few rounds from a machine gun. In front of the Cotton Club. Women are so emotional. So, my dear Scaletti, all roads lead to Rome. Ahh, Rome... My city. The fountains... You're a clever guy, Orlando. Too bad you know too much. You understand? Yeah, I've still a lot to learn about life. You had your chance to learn. Boss, you gotta be at the docks in a half hour. You know, the deal with Major... Yeah, boss, I know I'm holding this guy at gunpoint and we're planning to kill him but I guess I just forgot about him  What should I do with him? I'll think about it, when we get back from the docks. Unless our pal here has anythin' interesting to tell us. You know it all already. Not yet. But we'll find out. Marco? Yeah, boss? Lock our friend up. But move it, we're late.

What is that blackjack dealer doing? Shove the ski under the door and trip him...? Man I can't stop laughing at our detective's "I'm gonna shoot ya" pose. Every time. He's like a kid! Also am I mistaken, or does the game's arrow cursor move around like a floppy dong?

What? I mean, what? I reiterate: everyone in this game talks like they have brain damage. Every single one. Or like everyone is one of those ELIZA bots that react to a word in the last sentence it saw and prints out some random line associated with that word. Also, "the door is too solid" is not a complaint I would've expected to see. I mean, it's true, it's just... yeah.

It means he can't kick it down, I guess. I mean, I've heard that phrase/similar used in fiction before. But only when the character(s) are trying to break it down and failing to do so.

Perhaps they translated the game by giving Orlando's dialogue to one guy, all the other dialogue to another translator, and never showed either of them the context the dialogue was supposed to happen in. Both translators think they're crafting witty, top-notch dialogue, put them together and it's surrealism. But that shot with the police ambling off is just too pelfect.

I have to assume the translators were only working with the script in text form. If you didn't know Orlando is literally being held at gunpoint by the speaker, it'd seem a little less ridiculous. But yeah, when that happened I laughed. It's just so stupid!

Hogge Wild posted:do the pickable objects highlight when you move the pointer over them Sort of, but they do it in an annoying way. The hand cursor plays a grabbing animation when over something you can pick up. But it's usually delayed, so if you see it happen then you may have to retrace the scene in order to figure out what it is you can grab. It's also easy to miss if you aren't paying attention. I would have preferred a traditional cursor that lights up over hotspots or something like that, but it's better than, say, Law & Order where the mouse doesn't change at all.

PART 8 Jack's been locked up by the mob. Escape is impossible; the only thing to do is wait.  What do you want from me? A game of chess? Psst. It's me. What do you want? I want to help you. Why, all of a sudden? I have my reasons. Tell me everything about August! I don't get it. Tell me what happened. I don't know how this concerns you. August. I loved him... we wanted to get married. Well, we were walkin' down the street to my car. A blue car suddenly comes out of nowhere... the window goes down and somebody empties a whole magazine at us. I pulled out my gun and fired. Bellinger went down. He must've had 5 bullets in him. That was my uncle, he couldn't stand August... and he knew we wanted to get married. Your uncle's a real nice guy. You gotta get away, 'cos when they find me gone, they're gonna suspect you real quick. Go to my apartment, you'll be safe there. Reginald Avenue 12. Stay there. What's your name, anyway? Elizabeth.   Orlando is free from the jail cell, but he's still trapped in the Mafia base. Worst of all, his gun's been confiscated! Fortunately, it's sitting on a desk in the next scene.  We also need the papers sitting next to it. They represent vital evidence on Don Scaletti's operations, probably (of course there's no indication of what they are when you pick them up).  The game never tells you this, but they also took the bullets from his gun. Jack doesn't check, and the gun shows up in your action menu, but it's useless without bullets. Well, more useless, anyway. It's time to escape from the clutches of the mob. Jack heads out the back door, into another new area.   The guard will, naturally, kill Jack if he sees him. What's the solution?  Scaletti'll have to find a new clown now.We need the bullets from his gun, too.  Why?   That's the first time Jack has actually used his gun when asked. More than halfway through the game. He didn't even shoot the guard! Anyway, the next thing you need to do is visit the local whiskey distillery.      Jack Orlando's closest friend. It's not for him, though:  ...on the rocks. Can I get you a glass? Sorry, I gotta pass. I got somethin' important to take care of. Maybe some other time. Where are the keys? Sorry, I forgot. The keys 're in the glove compartment. Good-bye.You see, even though Jack's car was towed from the shooting site to the garage, and he never gave his keys to the mechanic, somehow he no longer has his car keys with him. So unless you give Frank some whiskey, you can't drive anywhere, and you can't head off to the next location. Also, taxis don't exist.   Remember, Don Scaletti's goon accidentally told Jack about the meeting at the harbor. This investigation is back on track! We'll get to see some new locations, and it'll be great. So stick around, or I trow sha'ks fin at you.
