MLI Demo Discussion (Spoilers!)
« on: May 06, 2012, 12:00:32 AM »
Alright, just started playing, and already I'm loving the animations, the voice acting, and the scripts! :awesome:

The only thing that bugs me so far is the lack of a bigger window. (Too used to full screen I guess.) :idunno:

What does everyone else think? :D

Might as well sticky this guy and make it official, since I imagine (or at least hope :P) that people are gonna want to discuss it.

Gosh! This is absolutely fabulous! Music, though not fully AA-ish, definetly fits the AA feel.

Not to mention the voice actors are freakin' amazing (especially Rarity's)

I really enjoy the story so far, but nothing was really a big surprise due to all the trailers and such.

Either way, the demo was amazing, and I look forward to the rest of case 1!

Alright finished it. I was expecting it to say something along the lines of "When the full version is released" in the lines, so imagine my surprise when it suddenly closes out. :derprd:

Only a few things to mention...

1) Rarity's voice. It often gets much louder then Twilight's, creating a contrast that isn't too pleasing to the ear.

2) Animation. The vectors mouths stop moving before they finish talking on some occasions, and at one point in interrogating Applebloom, when Twilight was thinking her mouth moved to match those lines. (Not really that big of a deal, but it's probably good to know they're there.)

3) I can't explore the other areas. :derprd: As to be expected since it's a demo. :derprd:

But man, great job so far! I'm going to play this to death waiting for the full version! :awesome:

I love it too, but all the text is invisible to me. Is it something wrong with my computer?  :-\

Alright, I seem to have come to the end of the demo, unless it WASN'T intentional to disable combining Opal's hair with the tire tracks, then we may just have a major problem on our hands hooves.

It was fun, I defiantly had a good time playing it, even though it was a bit glitchy... You're probably aware of most of them, but I'll list them here incase your not (I guess I should mention that I am playing on a mac and downloaded the torrent)
 
  • The text is a bit laggy, not big problem, but still annoying none the less
  • on occasion, some of the buttons are unresponsive, doesn't happen very often, but still quite annoying none the less
  • When I was talking with Applebloom, all of the games sounds became... how should I put it... glitchy. They just broke. The music, voice acting, sound effects, everything! just became glitchy and corrupt,  and the only solution I could find was to just mute the game. very annoying
  • This:
  • finally, as I mentioned above, I was unable to combine the tire marks with Opal's hare, and was unable to finish interrogating Rarity. After finishing with Applebloom, I had completed everything in the demo, and the more I think about it, the less this seems like a way to end the demo, and more like an 'impossible by accident' glitch.

As for my review proper, I don't have much to say, I didn't get to play enough to be able to make any real judgements, the writing was good, the voice acting solid, no real complaints past the list of glitches. I'll give it 3/5 (considering that the game is impossible, thats not bad)

You're on a Mac? There's your problem! :derprd:

(Sorry, but me and Mac's don't get along...) :stare:

xD awesome game, the graphics are really awesome (perfect?) and I've found no bug ^^ (only when I had talking to Rarity, the text was a little late). Really good job ! Also, i'm already  stuck XD

haha I know, macs have problems -_-

but I think I know what the problem is, I just read the 'known bugs' list and apparently it needs to run on 32 bit rather then 64 bit, which is probably the cause of at least half of these. anyways, im going to go switch to 32bit mode and try the game again.

Oh and just to know, is this normal that when I try to combine evidence that makes nothing?  :derprd: (it worked before) Or it's normal, because I'm wrong? xD

So I found this thread on /mlp/...

I gotta say that I'm not alone in struggling to get past "Last Night" with Rarity. What am I supposed to do?

Never mind that, I have two 32bit javas installed, SE 1.4.2 and SE 5.0. 1.4.2 simply will not run MLI and SE 5.0 guarantees a crash.
