Played a little more this morning. Got to the part where you watch the Council's first discussion. The one thing I didn't like is
.
how they made it blatantly obvious that head Councilman Gongora is part of the main conspiracy/enemy force/etc. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I thought they could have hid that a bit better. If there's going to be political intrigue/turmoil, then I'd rather be blindsided than having my hand held through it
Am I the only person who thinks Jensen is annoying as all hell? Most of his lines are good, but delivered awfully. Seriously, the scene where he is drunk was embarrassing as hell with my girlfriend sitting next to me giving me a disgusted look.
I'm pretty unimpressed with the voice acting overall to be honest. Not that I particularly care about that sort of thing, I still found it hard to not take off work today and keep playing.

I especially like it when, out of the blue, he says "At least I don't wear out in bed!" or something among those lines. I just thought that was hilarious.FFChris said:

Only got to play about 2 hours into it last night, but I'm in love. The transitions from CGI to in-game are jaw dropping. Just the overall presentation is unbelievable.
Question: I notice there is an achievement for getting all of the Thousand Years of Dreams, is it possible to miss these as you are playing through the game, and if so can you go back and find 'em or would that require another play-through?

Yep, i have loled with almost every line he has said in the game. The rolling down the valley in the grand staff base was a bit over the top but everything else was really funny.

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
Crap, this game is sad.
Granted I only had 3 of the Dreams so far, but they are pretty powerful. Are they ALL like this? They are damn good, but really depressing...
You figure after 1000 years, you'd have a couple fond memories

I agree, the villain and his characterization is the weakest part of the story by far.siamesedreamer said:
As I wrote earlier on this topic: "He's so stereotypically villainous I had him identified the first time I saw him. Then he continues to villainously perform acts of such utter villainy that it nearly makes me laugh."
Yeah, they are excellent, but after the 20th dream or so I wanted to shout at the Gooch that I get it, being immortal is not all that great :lolJohn Harker said:Granted I only had 3 of the Dreams so far, but they are pretty powerful.

Here's a question that someone should hopefully be able to answer. Why is it that all the immortals in this game seem to be exactly 1000 years old? Is this ever explained in the game? If so, don't spoil it for me, just let me know.
Also, are they cursed to only live 1000 years or are they actually doomed to live forever? That part was never really made clear to me in the synopsis.

HEAVY SPOILER:
They're aliens from another [spirit] planet that visited for some reason at the same time - not explained by how far I am in the game - and were given immortal corporeal bodies. Their memories were stolen by Gongora - another immortal. They appear to still be immortal, though sometimes they wonder about that.

He has already had a couple fond memories. Especially the first, it just ends on a sad note. :lol
I only got to play a tidbit last night after having picked it up, but so far HOLY FREAKING CRAP.
Like everyone else said the CG transitions are awesome, my only complaints so far would have to be the typical UE3 stuff, a lot of the time in cut scenes, especially when it does that comic style panel presentation the frame rate drops a weeee bit.
nothing serious I'm just nit picky as long as it doesn't get to the levels where I'm having issues in mass effect where it literally gets like 5 frames per second in some spots

Nevermind the fact that Gongora straight up looks like a douche anyway, anyone could tell looking at him.
Going back to town to get more 1000 year dreams. Isn't there a plan to release a book of them, and is it going to come out in the States?

Oof, the scene with
was a way too heavy-handed metaphor for America and Iraq.
Otherwise, the game is captivating so far, and the negative reviewers were on crack. I always thought the credibility of Eurogamer (8/10) and Gametrailers (8.8) was better than the other guys, and this is just more confirmation.

It is great btw
Help GAF!
I just encountered the sewer levellol) on the third disc, and at the part with the 3 sluice gates there is this glowing item (?):
However, regardless of what I do I can't seem to reach it. If I drain the water I can't reach the bottom (and I also can't pass under the gates) and if I refill it I still don't reach the item. Halp!

Yes, it is. I am a WRPG player harshly critical of most JRPGs (I pretty much only like Earthbound, Final Fantasy Tactics, and a few others) and this one is just solid all around.
Man, there really is something special about this game.
The atmosphere built from the amazing score and art style is something I've never experienced before. I can't believe this game was getting such luke-warm reactions from the media.
I can't get over how cool the battles feel. Even Jensen looks like a badass with that hardcore camera angle.
