goglin: just for the stats: I bought tiny, so my part is done - but there are still 112 left..
B-but what about Big, you can't have one without the other. People are purchasing half a game, no wonder this is moving so slowly. :P

Cardian: But that is just preferring better movies, isn't it? If those movies were made today and in colour, they'd still be good. Just as there are good horror movies out today that rely on atmosphere instead of gore. Black and white CAN be a tool to get a certain mood but most horror movies were made in b&w simply because they couldn't be done in colour at their time.

lowtechgeek: B&W is and also has been used in movies to kind of hide and tone down the amount of blood and gore on screen in order to get a lower age rating from censors, at least here in the U.S.
True, but I don't see how that makes b&w a better horror experience. Avoiding a higher rating doesn't make a movie better, does it?

Anyway, I played the Long Live The Queen for like an hour, and I find the concept very flawed.

I ignored all the courtsy muffle-fuffle like etiquette, speech, history, medicine, blabla, art, and I only trained with swords. I had swords like 97, polearms and bows over 60, military strategy, logistics, everything. Despite that, I remained clumsy as an ox and slow as a hippo. How comes all that sword fighting lessons did nothing for my physique?

Anyway, there was an event where I travelled to a neigboring province, when - ambush! What? Master strategist and logistic expert fell into a stupid bandit ambush? Never mind, where is my sword? I will show those peasants and amalgam of Hanzo Hattori and Lancelot! Nothing. I did not have a bloody sword. Hours and hours of training, and I probably forgot it at the palace.

And because my reflexes were still at 0 (despite being so awesome swordswoman), I failed a dodge roll, and took a few arrows to the stomach. And because I knew nothing about battlefield medicine (duh), I insisted in wiggling with them while inside my body, turning my internal organs into a souffle. Fail, RIP, Game over.

Hmmm.... Princess maker was better.

Where are the other 104 purchasers with exquisite taste in games?

txnca: Actually, Technicolor was developed in 1916, and used in Hollywood from about 1922 on.
Yeah and it was expansive as hell. Hitchcock filmed The Birds in b&w due to budget.

Don't let me regret my impulse purchase after only 1 hour -_-

(why my replies send me back tons of forum pages?)

I took one for the team and grabbed some Tiny. We can do this as a team!

That's just one of many glorious deaths you have to enjoy. :)

I got impression the gag was that you repeatedly find out why your Queen sucks over and over again until eventually you feel your way through the game and she survives. Like there is only one 'build' that makes it all the way through and the job is to find it.

Well, it's definitely not a fairy tale about a young and bright little princess I would read to my daughter before going to bed, that's for sure.

I would. My daughters would laugh at the stupid princess. ;)
