Hello. I have a Mac but I run bootcamp for a PC side to play games like this one. However, as a result of the partition I only have about 18 gigs of freespace on my PC side since a underestimated the amount of necessary files. Basically I'm wondering if 18 gigs is enough to play this game. Although I've seen the system requirements and they say I only need about 2 gigs to play it, when I was selected for beta testing, the game needed about 20 gigs and thus I couldn't play it. Since I can't figure out how the real game would use about 18 gigs worth of memory less than the beta I'm asking you guys how much memory space I need to play this game.
Thanks for all the replies. I was also a little skeptical about whether I would be able to play Japanese games on systems I bought in the U.S.A. but it's good to know I can at least get games for the PS3 and DS. I also have a PS2, I don't need any mods for that right? Seems like I'll just have to go to a Japanese video game store and see what interests me.
As the title says, I'm going to Japan. I'm going to be studying abroad there for a school year starting this fall. My Japanese isn't very good right now but after a school year in Japan I think I might understand enough to play a Japanese game. Now, what games should I buy in Japan while I'm there that I can only buy there?
While I agree that the affair kind of came out of no where there is an explanation for it. The following was quoted by Lord_Yeti, I'm not sure where he got it or if he previously posted it himself.
"The subject of Elsa and Cole has been discussed in numerous other topics, but I will repeat myself here. I would encourage you to use the search function, however.
The war essentially broke Cole. Given the age of his daughters, it is safe to assume that he was married when he shipped out and returned as a changed man. He's haunted by his experiences at Okinawa and Sugarloaf Hill. He refuses to speak about the subject and grows hostile towards those who repeatedly bring it up or joke about it. He buries himself in his police work in an effort of atonement and likely escape as well. Therefore, it is further likely that he doesn't spend much time at home and grows estranged from his wife as result. Certainly, he wouldn't have discussed the war with her. That's a huge part of his life that he does not give her access to. He does not really know how to deal with his past.
Then he meets Elsa. As a refugee from the Third Reich, she is a kindred spirit. There is no telling what horrors she witnessed. She seems like a very caring, empathic individual, so in a society like Hitler's Germany it could have been any variety of things. We only know that they haunt her to a degree that has driven her to drug abuse (and America) in her desire to escape them.
Cole has his police work, Elsa has her morphine. They are both desperate to escape their past. Then they find each other and their wounds begin to heal. Elsa fights her drug addiction. Cole begins to face his actions during the war until he finally owns up to Kelso, offers an apology and a willingness to make ammends. Finally, he has someone he can actually open up to. Elsa tells dr. Fontaine about how they are helping each other and have been a beneficial influence on each other.
Furthermore, leaving motivation speculative--though I personally do not really find it to be so in this case, is indicative of the noir genre. In the Coen brothers' "The Man Who Wasn't There" Ed Crane's motivation to help Birdie is never really made clear. We can only speculate as to whether it is sexual or comes from something else."
As I understand it, the reason there is more than one way a case plays out is so you can miss any number of clues or interview questions yet still continue the story. So, while some superficial changes might occur depending on how well you perform on a case, there will always only be one story. If you really want to replay cases to see how they pan out differently go ahead but you will never change the ending no matter what you do.
I typically score higher than most of my classmates on tests despite not studying a lot for them so I guess I would say I have above average intelligence. The problem is that I'm extremely lazy.
Sometimes it can be hard to tell if a character is lying or not but that is usually only the case with characters that don't think like a normal person thinks but even with them there is a general rule of thumb: if they look at you without averting their gaze they are telling the truth. Of course there are many more complex tells but I've found this rule to be right pretty much all of the time. distinguishing doubt from the lie is also usually as easy as reviewing your evidence but sometimes the character's response and the correct response don't match. Sometimes Cole will lead the conversation one way but accuse the character of lying about a seemingly unrelated topic or evidence is more damning or less so than you thought. For instance, there was this one time I asked the husband about possible suspects, people who might have wanted to harm his wife and he said that everyone liked his wife but his gaze looked shifty. I didn't have any evidence to prove that someone in particular did not like his wife so I chose "doubt" but I was wrong. As it turns out I was supposed to accuse the husband of lying and in his accusation Cole clearly hints that the evidence he's gonna use is some rope that he found at the husband's house. I suppose you could try accusing a character of lying, listen to Cole's accusation for hints at the evidence he is looking for and back out of it if you don't have it but this way isn't very fast and you would wind up making a fool out of yourself when you back out of accusations.
I usually replay a segment until I get five stars anyways but it can get annoying.
