Her Interactive wants your opinion if the option to skip a mini game or dialogues should be added to the games.

That should be fun to watch! Do you think there are many fans who don't want the option to skip?

I am hoping that those that come and post here on how much they despise the mini/arcadish sequences and ask for saved games will post their opinions on the Her page. It's great to be asked and heard and we should take advantage of it.
I can't imagine why anyone would vote against it even though you wouldn't use it. I certainly would not try and have it stopped if it helps those that struggle.

Ana

I would have posted something, if it wasn't for the fact, that it's on Facebook
I've decided not to ever visit that place one way or the other.. don't ask me why though, can't really explain, lol.

Apparently it's a total bombardment of "if you don't like the game the way it is, don't buy it".

Ana

I guess not many people here do facebook.

Actually there a bunch of us that do. YOu do not not have to have your own page to be a fan. Oh well.....it looks like the winner will be no skip feature because the vocal ones like things the way they are.

Ana

So, I'm one of those who don't like the way the games are now and therefore I do not buy them any more. I tried a few, never was able to finish any, and that's that, no more for me unless they do change their way and add skips for the mini games or arcades. As for dialogue, that was always okay with me, no problem there.

I would like to see less mini games...BUT..If they continue to use them...Then I would like to see the skip version..

I also stopped buying their games...Because of the <Stupid> Chores..

I would like to see more of a mystery..Like years ago..I also think that there is too many Hard puzzles in the newer games..There is no adventure anymore..Its puzzle after puzzle...

My opinion...

Thanks, Ana

For the opportunity to voice opinions..Although I don't feel I have to do it on Facebook.

Hi Ana, How do you get the Her face page? Puzzler

Darleen, if you want your voice heard, your opportunity is there not on this post. I am well aware of what the feelings are here, that is precisely why I posted the link to their page. If you want to do something to help change the way it is, you have been given an opportunity to do so.

Puzzler, click on the gold Her Interactive fan page in the first post.

Ana

I don't see anything there but a login page, and since I don't want an account there...

Try this link.

Ana,
I reluctantly signed up on FB. I cannot get to their page. It keeps taking me to their website. I would like very much to see a "skip".

Thanks, Puzzler

I give up! Facebook is to confusing to use. Hope other Boomers have voiced their opinions and things will change. I tried.

I see the page but I don't get where we get to post our comments.

You sign in and then click on comments under the Wolf Creek review. There are 39 there already, you can put your account on hold so no one can find you after you post.

Ana

I feel stupid I see it at the top of the wall bit I was busy thinking it was far down and kept clicking older posts lol.
I see they have asked questions before.

I guess you wrote the first comment I think the same as you cos it's just spoiling someones enjoyment if they can't do it after 5 tries or so. I'll definitely write in favour of the skip tomorrow when I've figured out how I'm phrasing it.

I think people are losing the point on there tho for those who can solve the puzzles easily why should it bother them they won't be skipping. Selfish people on facebook.

I always like options. More control for the mood of the moment for playing any game. But, I'm not wild about becoming a fan on facebook to enter my opinion there.

Hmm, let's think about this for a minute and maybe try to understand those who say don't tamper with the Nancy Drew games. After all, this is Nancy Drew that we are talking about, and she is a teen-ager, right? So the teens among us gamers like her to appeal to them and not to those of us who are too old to enjoy the teen stuff and spirit. They want her for themselves and who can really blame them? Why should the old folk butt into their enjoyment of the games just because they are too hard for older reflexes? After all, we have all the grown-up games to play so why meddle into a game meant for the young? I do think they have a right to resent having their game changed by anyone except themselves, who are the true Nancy Drew fans. Hands off, "Mommie Dearest"!
I'm also thinking that teens like to brag about accomplishing something that is hard for others to do, don't they? It's part of growing up and learning. Put skips into the games and you take away their bragging rights! Everyone can do a skip, there is no skill involved. I'm willing to let the kids have their way and their day, you are only a teenager once. Thank goodness!

Why not just put a skip on the mini games anyway then those who like to do them and those who wish to skip and I guess there are some people through dissability cant do some of them can and some young people have dissabilitys to .I just ask my son if I get stuck if it is a part where you have to move fast .The idea is ton sell the game and why not please all .I do see your point sierramindy but I think there are more older people that play Nancy Drew you definily wouldnt get the young around here playing it .Maybe the odd few .Most all of the young seem into car racing fighting etc.Sorry if I have affended any one .

I would happily volunteer an opinion for Her Interactive but I don't visit FaceBook type sites

I will side with the vocal ones who don't want any changes to their game. They, obviously, know what they want and are able to say so. Not like those who don't even know how to use facebook, which is definitely me. I'm not going there. Peace!

A "Skip" feature wouldn't make any difference to gamers who enjoy the mini-games & would bring many lapsed fans back into the fold.

Seems to me that if HI really wanted to hear from all ND fans, the poll would be on its primary website. By placing it only on FB, the results might tend to be slanted. I've no desire to create a FB presence just to take part in it.

What is that saying about trying to please everybody and ending up pleasing nobody? I think Her Interactive should stay with their core gamers who are speaking out against change. After all, they must be doing something right to last as long as they have. Are they starting to lose fans, do you think, or are they interested in expanding, which might cost them more than they gain?

I do think they are losing some fans. The older games had much less arcade type mini games. I don't think most people are talking about putting a skip in for every puzzle I think it's more for the ones that a walkthrough won't help you with. Like the Ransom game and that dang coconut throwing. If I hadn't finally obtained a save game from a very genrous gameboomer I would have been stuck and not been able to finish the game. And if you spend 19.99 and can't complete it, well I'll be much less eager to buy the next one. I agree with you Carrie, if they really wanted our opinion it would be on HI's site, but I guess at least there is some discussion and awareness that not everyone likes the mini-games. I love the ND games though and have every single one of them and will continue buying them even with the sometimes annoying arcade type game.
