    Can you give me some quick teaser spoilers or something to reignite my interest? I’ve tried to start this game 3 times and every time i fall off cuz it feels like a clunky Dreamworks movie game

        Genre mix of 3rd person brawling and some stealth sections. Hovercrafting including some races (many optional). Some adventure style puzzles. Awesome soundtrack. French style and subtle + not so subtle and satirical storytelling that doesn’t assume you’re a doofus. It actually made me a little sad at one point.

        Technical: GOG version supports multiple threads/cores. Widescreen fix available. Check here: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Beyond_Good_%26_Evil

      It is “for” a very specific subset of gamers. If you have played and didn’t enjoy it, you are just not in that subset. For those of us that enjoy it, it was immediate and throughout. Also if you didn’t play it when it was new, it will of course feel like an old game now, as it is. There are always microadvancements in video games that we barely even perceive as they incrementally build on each other. But you go back a whole generation or more and feel ten plus increments at once, it’s just gonna be pervasively uncomfortable.

          So… if not that, what did you actually want people to tell you about why you may not enjoy a game that other people do? That it’s actually a conspiracy and you are the first person to figure out we were trying to trick you into thinking it was good to waste 5 minutes of your life?

            Nothing in your response was telling me about the game. All you said is that the game is old and that game’s change over time. Not helpful. P.s. I DID try playing it when it was new.

              You said you tried the game, there is no special surprise that happens later into that makes the beginning worth it. Which is actually what I said, if you didn’t like the start, you won’t like the rest either. For the people who liked the game, it was good the whole way through. You didn’t, there is no secret you missed, you just didn’t like it, which is also what I said. The game is only well liked by a specific subset of people, you apparently are not in that subset. The second half of my post was also just one guess if you thought you should enjoy it but didn’t. There was no way for me to know you tried it when it was new, but then at least the first half of my post was the important part for you then.
