Holy crap! You can watch ALL of To Kill A Mockingbird in this game - and you get an achievement if you do...

i got the game after work yesterday evening. I played it for probably 3 hours last night. I really like the game, but I am very frustrated where I am at right now.

Here is where I am:

Spoiler:
I made it to the part after Jenny is killed and you commit suicide(which is an awesome twist) where you are either in Hell or an alternate reality during WW2. Sounds great, but I am just frustrated with it right now. It is just very difficult to navigate and the Nazis will kill you quick so you don't have time to explore. I just hope this part of the game doesn't last long -- I enjoy being in the city. I have never been a big fan of dream sequences or alternate reality sequences, Max Payne 1's dream sequences aggravated me so much I quit playing the game

Somebody needs a history lesson.

Spoiler:
The Hell type place you find yourself in is meant to be WWI, not WWII. And while you're fighting Germans, they're not Nazis.

Yup, albeit it's on a tiny little screen in the middle of the room, but you can make it out alright, and the sound is fine. But I only kept it on for about half an hour while I did stuff around the house - I wasn't willing to leave my 360 on for over 2 hours, unplayed just to get the achievement.

That's great... not that sound matters in a silent movie : )

IGN's score is proportional to the amount of money MS pays them to rate it.

I'd assume you meant "directly proportional"

otherwise, that statement has no meaning

Does this game give anyone else a freakin massive headache? Most FPS's never give me one, but after like 5min with Darkness my head is killing me. I think it's the jerkyness or something....is there maybe a 'no-headache' setting that I've missed?

So I got to play this last night finally. DId anyone else waste a ton of time watching TV in the subway? I watched a Gabby cartoon, Popeye and an episode of Flash Gordon. I considered watching to kill a mockingbird, but felt like playing the game.

So far, I'm loving this game. It's methodical, the story is good so far, the cutscenes with Jackie talking during loading are great. My one nitpick is weapon selection - i'm having a tough time with it for some reason.

Which acheivement do you get? The ROmantic? I got that after sitting on the couch and making out with Jenny after trying to tell her those three words - then I got up and left!

Yeah, I got the romantic achievement, which was quick and easy, but I wasn't willing to stay put for over two hours for the Mockingbird one.

After his tirade on Crackdown, it has no meaning either way.

I'm going to try and *gasp* rent the game today if weather permits. I'm broke after my recent purchase (new projector).

I don't see one for that listed anywhere - which one is it?

I don't know if it's listed, or what it would be called, I just read somewhere that you get one if you stay seated for the duration of the whole movie - I could be wrong though.

Finally booted it up for the first time last night. Awesome. Only about an hour in and I can't wait to get back to it. Trying to find my girlfriend right now.
