October Modern Community Playthrough - Fragile Dreams

[Fleach]

I wanted to play last night, but my Wii U decided to do an update and man do those updates take forever!

Feeling a little overwhelmed that everyone is at such high levels and I'm only level 2 with no money.

I wanted to play last night, but my Wii U decided to do an update and man do those updates take forever!

Feeling a little overwhelmed that everyone is at such high levels and I'm only level 2 with no money.

It'll be easy to catch up buddy. My total play time is still under five hours.

[Fleach]

Just reached Checkpoint 1 and am at level 8 with a whole whack of money. I guess the beginning is very sparse in terms of action.

The controls are easier to handle now that I've spent about 3 hours with the game.

Is death a major theme in this game? Seto does talk about his grandpa a lot and the scene when

PF's battery dies

played out very dramatically.

If I had to guess, I'd say that it is. Seems to be a kind of a post-apocolyptic setting, so it's inevitable.

[GrayGhost81]

I didn't have a chance to play yesterday, so my Super-Seto from Saturday morning is still ready to rock. I gotta hit it up tonight.

How's everyone else doing? You chipping away, Fleach?

Doug, are you still with us?

[Fleach]

Yep, still slugging away. I'm at the carnival place and just met Crow.

Going to tackle more of this game on Friday.

Is anybody playing on Wii U? The newest update allows Wii games to be played on the game pad and the Wii Remotes even work with the game pad! It's so cool!

[douglie007]

this is a great game, I just got a Wii U so I need to see if my transfer save works... will be sad if its gone.

Good morning Fragile Dreamers! How is everyone doing with the second checkpoint? I'm still working on the third but I'll have it up by the weekend.

I'm really enjoying the game, though I got snagged last night on a part I didn't know how to beat, and in this particular instance I blame the game design. But in general this game has been very enjoyable.

[Fleach]

I wasn't sold on this game right away, but now I'm really into it.

It's the only game that gives me chills whenever those ghosts and enemies materialize. Horror/thriller games tend to have me on edge, but there are downright spooky elements to Fragile Dreams.

I haven't started Checkpoint 2 yet, but since it's a long weekend here in Canada I shouldn't have to worry about falling behind.

[ericeskapade]

gonna make it from  1st to 2nd checkpoint tonight...around spooky-hour

[GrayGhost81]

The third checkpoint has been posted. At about 2.5 hours the distance between the second and third checkpoint is a little less than we're used to, but we're past the halfway point and will have plenty of time to finish the game.

[GrayGhost81]

I was playing ahead and I found you will get to a point where you have to play with a cat to proceed. After much frustration I checked out some message board threads about how to play with the cat. It's very easy and there's no point getting frustrated about it so I thought I'd share.

Get as close to a cat as you can without it running away. Have the cat toy equipped and press A repeatedly to make Seto swing the cat toy.

[ericeskapade]

ah, the cats...finally! that is good to read. i went to room 301 and saved some minutes ago when i startet at checkpoint 1 i didn't use any weapons anymore..so nothing could break but now equiped with the broom the fighting and overall controls have gotten much better. had to look up, how to sneak up behind CROW exactly. I LIKE THE ATMOSPHERE IN THE HOTEL very, very much - it reminds me of Silent Hill, but has a nice summer breeze feeling. played around 8 hours overall now, having level 18 and no money problems. looking forward to next week and hope you enjoyed the Hotel with the "girly guest", too.

[GrayGhost81]

Thanks for checking in Eric! I also liked the hotel a lot. It had a good flow and not too many frustrating parts. I really like Sai as well.

I also had to look up how to sneak up behind Crow. That was very poorly explained (kind of like playing with the cats!).

I actually played for a while today. I think I'm pretty close to the end and I have a good candidate for week four's checkpoint.

I know we have small group here but I want to thank you all for sticking with it. Let's keep going!

[singlebanana]

I act all didn't have to look up anything about sneaking up on Crow. I got lucky while running around that area and was prompted with a message to

.

I also though the hotel had a great atmosphere. Not a fan of the poltergeist ladie though.
