Hi Doreen, finished the demo and the hour just flew by so I'll buy. I feel as though BFG deserves my pennies on the collectors editions from time to time. I too struggled to get into Ghost Pirates, there were too many places to investigate straight away. I had a peek at the walk through and realised you played as the character you started with, just using the inventory faces to obtain information from them and you didn't have to flit from person to person and it got better. I finished it this morning and enjoyed it. I did suffer from long loading times and stuttery cut scenes but that just may have been down to my computer.

The problem with the downloading, as it turns out, was a server issue at Big Fish. Whether or not you experienced the problem depended on which server you got directed to for the download; in other words, the luck of the draw.

This had happened to me before with a different game, where I and some people had trouble downloading and others did not.

I hope everyone enjoys the game.

Just finished the demo...

A very good game..Lots to do..Many places to investagate...

Looks like a long game also..

Glad the download issue has been fixed.

I finished the demo and got midway through Chapter 5 and am really enjoying it. Wondering how long this game is. The chapters are pretty short, however, I'm ready to buy it now. By the way, it has the morphing feature that everyone liked so much in the collector's edition of Dire Straits

Oh wow I loved the morphing feature in Dire Straits. That really made it worth the collectors edition price. So will this be the same in this game- is the morphing only in the CE edition? If so that will be a must buy. Besides, I agree BF deserves the extra money for CE's on occasion so they can conitinue to give us more of these fabulous games.

I haven't heard any mention of morphing objects in Dark Parables like in Dire Grove so far. I liked them too!

Ok ,Boomers ..You had me going nuts looking for "Dire Straits" On the BF website..

Does anyone know if the regular version of "Dark Parables" will be released by BFG because I downloaded and played the demo and really enjoyed it. If there won't be a regular version, I'll definitely pony up the $19.99 because "Sleeping Beauty" is one of my favorites (I have the movie on both VCR and DVD) and the game looks like a winner.

Thanks!

Susan

They are released generally 3 weeks later.

Ana

Hi, Ana!

Thanks, although I don't know if I can wait that long ! If my willpower holds out, I probably will use my free game credit because there is no doubt I'll purchase another 3 games before the end of the month.

Susan

Dire Straits- must have been a fruadian slip as all these great games are putting my wallet in Dire Straits! Anyway, reading the BFG forums there are morphing items (I think they recharge your hints) and it doesn't seem to be CE particular so they will most likely be in the regular version. But alot of people on the forum think the CE version is worth it for the extra levels, novels etc. I haven't finished the demo so haven't decided.

I'm really liking this game. Fun scenes and music too. Can't wait for the regular version. Gotta see how far I can get on the demo first. Neat.

I think the morphing feature only happens after you us a hint. It refills the hints right away. (So, now you know I used 2 hints when searching for that last piece of an object I couldn't find.) Apparently, there are 30 morphs in the game.

This one is fantastic. And I found several morphing objects while playing the demo.

Now the really hard part will be waiting for the regular version.......
Patience? What's that????
