Jesus, it took me like 20 fucking minutes or more just to get to my hotel room in the very beginning. Why is there no fast text option? Yes, the animation is gorgeous and it's got style, but MOVE FUCKING GODAMN IT. I fucked up by making the chick on the staircase cry (thus leading to a game over a bit later). It restarted me back a bit, right in front of the girl, and I figured "hey, it appears to have a fair, timely checkpoint system. This is only like 2 conversations before I got the game over screen for making her cry." But I forgot--each conversation takes like 10 fucking minutes, so I had to sit through 2 long, slow, boring dialogs that I had already been through before.
This game goes on the train to Auschwitz.

i beat this game
I can tell you now it wasnt easy, the boredom i overcame was amazing
-
there was a really good X-Files episode about an geriatric rapist, who was also invisible or using his newly acquired spirit power or something. Whateva, it didn't suck.
-
i dunno, if the 95 year old man was raping you he would at least get right to the point -- it's more like dating a 95 year old man and then being raped after several nights of tedious senile conversation
-
Most boring game ever. I don't know why I bothered to finish it.
-
i'm sure you can diagnose yourself with something that explains it -- attention surplus syndrome, say
lol that spells ass
-
I usually trade games back in if I don't enjoy them after two hours.
But seriously, this game gave me a wicked headache out of fucking boredom and I have no idea why I put myself through it. Maybe it was that perfect 10 from egm and I was looking for the fun.
-
i already get bored during shit like phoenix wright. this looks even more fucking boring and im glad i skipped it. if i wanted to read a book id read a book, or at least the 100 classic book garbage
-
Hotel Dusk sucks so fucking hard
-
I liked the courtroom in Apollo Justice. Everything else :-\
Well until I hit a terrible attempt at logic by the game designers.
-
I liked the courtroom except that it takes 10 minutes between objections and shit. i have the second one here but i cant be bothered
-
oh yeah, I forgot that failing a case = 20 minutes of doing what I already know how to do again.us Ugh. They need to find a better way to penalise, or have branching outcomes for different valid evidence presented for any one situation.
-
Hotel Dusk love describes everything that annoys me about Nintendo Wii fans and early DS fans.
-
Hey buddy, meteos and canvas curse were great. Wait, when did hotel dusk come out?
-
:lol that's the same exact thing that happened to me, i lost all interest in playing it after that. Which is a shame since i really liked the 20 minutes i played, i should get back into it someday.
-
I just read the story on gamefaqs
-
what about wikipedia
-

I'm still waiting. :'(
-
:lol
-
what about wikipedia
it explains it but not in the context of the game. even still if you read a guide on gamefaqs, the story is absolute trash.
omg a painting

2006 I think.
The problem with the mindset of the early DS era was that any game that wasn't total trash was automatically awesome. Hotel Dusk was one of these games.
The same mentality exists on the Wii today. If it isn't total garbage, it's gold.
-
I think it was that total garbage games got a pass if they were a newish genre that western gamers hadn't had before. There weren't many interactive story games on DS so things like Hotel Dusk and Phoenix Wright were hailed as fantastic new games. Now there's real games on the system these things look like utter trash
-
he never finds his gay lover.
-
...I really really tried to be positive and patient. I really tried liking the game. 3 attempts since the release, all from the beginning (to fully "appreciate" the narrative).
... shit game.
Demi, spoil the ending please.
Hyde discovers the truth about Osterzone, and Dunning gives him a key from the fake Kyle Hyde (Bradley). Hyde calls his company, and turns out the client who wanted him to find those items (the red box that was locked, etc) was in fact Bradley. Hyde opens the box and it's a letter saying "lol, i knew u would figure it out ur so smart. but guess what you'll never find me cause the mafia and the cops want me dead. lol bye."
So in the end, Hyde never finds Bradley, and Jenny returns to Hotel Dusk in the bonus ending (have to beat the game without losing, or fucking up period)

How do you explain Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time?
I thought that game was terrible. The sequel looks interesting though.
-
GBA legacy?
-
I enjoyed the game.
-
I enjoyed Hotel Dusk, but yeah, the slow text is ridiculous. Even more ridiculous is that a speed up text option is an unlockable for beating the game once.
-
Great look
thats it
the game sucks. Hated the stupid pop quiz segments after each chapter. :yuck
-
The game is feces. I bought it because it was hyped in EGM. Someone gave it a 10!
It's obvious the ds adventure game fans lack taste in their adventure games, Broken Sword aside.
-
Proof that if your game has a unique art style fan-things will faun over it.
It's a boring piece of shit with a writing style geared towards teens that doesn't match up to its interesting art style.
-
Little Girl: Whine whine
Me (thinking): "Lucasarts games teach me that incorrect or mean dialogue can never result in game over"
Me: Shut up little girl, no one likes you
Little Girl: Boo hoo hoo
Me: Lool
Some guy: (20 minutes later) You made my daughter cry, game over bitch
Me: WTF
-
:lol
-
The plot is fucking distinguished mentally-challenged.
-
I "played" it for like a half hour, reading excruciatingly slow text. Never touched it again.
-
:'(
I'll send rebiak his game. Totally forgot.
:hyper
-
Yes, it's my parents house, they are my PO box.
-
What reviewer gave this a 10?
Michael Donahoe
-
I was about to start up Hotel Dusk, I hope it isn't as awful as you all say it is. :(
-
And people were wondering why Ziff Davis cratered.
:lol
-
anyone who gave this 10 obviously didn't play it or has too much time
-

It is. Boring as shit; it basically got its popularity from people wanting more after Phoenix Wright, but it's nowhere near as fun to play. If you need a sleep-aid, however, the game might work wonders.
-
I just finished chapter two. It's like reading a book, only there is a pop quiz at the end of every chapter. :-\
How many chapters are there? :-\
