Under a killing Moon, then Pandora Directive and lastly Tesla Effect. There's also Overseer but its the weakest of them all and is basically a remake of their previous game Mean Streets.
Up to day 5 and the biggest complaint currently is the amount of "fetch x number of things to get puzzle started" concept. Its starting to get old quite fast. Rest is great.

The baseball cards are the first puzzle I got like that and I can imagine if you can't find of those, it can get annoying because you're never sure you're even looking in the right place.
does anyone know if they will tell you, Tex real name ?
Tex is a kids nick name he got when his toy bouncy horse bounced him into the celling and he made a hole the shape of Texas
@Interinactive
If i would be you then i would go buy the gog versions and then get the DVD9 version of Overseer, it works nicely if you add MPEG2 DLL codecs

I'm pretty sure that's not Charles Dance, though that snippet looks very much like him. He's uncredited for any of the Tex Murphy games even though he's a hugely prolific actor
Anyone care to post the solution to this asinine fucking maze puzzle on Day 5? I don't care to waste any more time than I already have on this horseshit.
53 moves to get from the red arrow to the green arrow (no diagonal or backtracking allowed), alternating from skull to anubis head each time...

Come on, that was easy. There were only like two or three possibles solutions and two of the three had too many steps. Heck, even easier: make a screenshot and use Paint to mark the steps that are possible. Took me all of 5 minutes.
It's not even in top 100 top sellers on Steam Never seen it on the slides on front page.
Steam sucks for that - Steam decides which games appear on the front page. For a game this cheap, it makes no sense to not sell well considering how great it is. The only reason is poor coverage from the press and Steam not doing its job.
Whatever you do, don't watch TotalBiscuit's "review". As usual, he makes a huge mess out of it. First of all, he lies - says he played the game quite far but then says stuff that betrays he actually DIDN'T. Then he says the FMV is good, the puzzles are good, the graphics are old but at the end he says the game is "very very very flawed" . He doesn't even say WHY it's flawed - except he admits it's not his kind of game. No kidding, anything that requires more than two braincells is too hard for our hero TotalBitch .
But yeah, I completed the game, got the best ending and highest PI score. Enjoyed it tons and the way the story came together really makes the game.

They said there's a bug preventing it from showing in the top sellers list, but that it's selling well. For the first day or two it wasn't showing up in the new releases section either.
I'm not surprised some devs get upset at getting a bad review - his "flock" is full of retards as well who lap up his words despite him rarely playing the games for more than an hour before he makes his "review".
Nearly half his review consisted of stuff like "yeah, FMV are old hat, this game is a nostalgic trip, this genre has been dead and buried for many many years, BUT I guess if you like Tex Murphy games, you don't care ... I never played any of them, but I'll still waffle on about them to sound more professional". *facepalms*
His entire review can be summed up as "I don't like games like this, I'm too dumb for them but because a lot of people enjoy them, I better not slam the game completely. Did I mention I suck at these games?"
I do hope this game sells well - I really really want Big Finish Games to sell at least 100k copies which would pretty much mean another Tex game in the future. 100k should be doable at that price. I just wish the media gave it some more coverage. For the piss poor review TB gave it, at least it was still coverage.

As someone who enjoyed the 3 previous Tex Murphy games, it's nice to see Tex back in action but the concept has aged really bad. In the 90s the static 3D environment and FMV were really pushing the technical boundaries at the time, but it looks very old-fashioned today.
As an adventure game it's also far too simplistic even in gamer mode, it's like a Telltale game.
I'm sure it appeals to Tex Murphy fans but I certainly understand the mediocre reviews.

I don't get this attitude, honestly.
You'd rather see Chandler avenue as a bustling place even when it's called "the run down part of town" with half the businesses being closed? It wouldn't work. If you look around, the world ISN'T all that dynamic. I don't enter a room and see all kinds of moving objects. The game had moving bits where moving bits were suitable, not just to make things visually appealing.
Besides that, I don't think many adventure games EVER had dynamic locations. Broken Age & Broken Sword, both Kickstarter adventure games, were a lot less technologically advanced AND even less static so I don't see them problem really.
Really, you can say the game has dated graphics but that's the only real criticism in this respect that it deserves - and frankly, I don't give a toss. I'd rather have an atmospheric game like Tesla Effect, than a lens flair fest that are many modern games that lack any degree of personality.
I agree that the puzzles were on the easy side, though. However, THAT is the true modern approach of things (sadly enough). When games are too hard for the average moron, it gets bad reviews (look at Witcher 2 and all the bitching from incompetent "gamers") so I'm not surprised they made it easier than previous games. Heck, even the "mensa" puzzles I found very easy - I played on the hardest difficulty so couldn't even skip if I wanted to.
In general, the game is brilliant at what it does - people just want it to be something it isn't, never was and never was going to be. Which makes them idiots
the graphics are prehistoric really not just dated, it really ruined my enjoyment of the game, also they affected game play in the sense that i couldn't find certain objects amidst the awful textures and bump maps.
also the FMVs don't blend in well with the rest of the game, so much potential only to be wasted on triggered cut scenes only. which is the same formula from the much older games as far as i know.
all those years and no new ideas, really?
not even gonna mention how dead every local felt to me (run down part of the city or not).
but of course i am an idiot right? my criticisms dont matter cuz i don't understand what this game is obviously.

i dont know, but the FMV's had plenty of lens flares, i felt i was watching a J.J abrams movie

Broken age had lots of life in the areas, and besides Tesla effect used a 3d engine so the comparison isn't prefect tbh
I don't know about everyone else but the graphics seem to fit the whole Tex Murphy style of game.
I can't speak for the puzzles but the game seems to be exactly what I'd expect from a Tex Murphy game.
cant people just enjoy games anymore , how did you guys deal with the 90s?
Unfortunately not. You see, we live in an age of spoilt bratisism, growing deeper, and wider, by the hour. Nothing, and I mean nothing, will ever satisfy their needs, so one will now moan regardless, it's habit, and has become the 'norm' for everything that exists today, regardless of whether its good or not.
Just be thankful to be leaving this world with memories of how it used to be, and not be part of the nonsense that is today
And if your young, well, good luck with that one lol
