[MysteryEye]

1. Did you pre-order, or are you waiting for the store release?

I pre-ordered with 5-7 day shipping.

2.If you pre-ordered, what shipping did you get?

See answer to No. 1

3. What element of the game are you most looking forward to? (i.e. scare factor, puzzles, characters, etc.)

I really want a great scare factor and characters we remember!

4. Do you like the fact that the game is set in Japan?

Yes, I luv the fact the game is set in Japan!

5.What character do you like the most?

Well, that's a tough one, because we don't really know them yet. However, Grandmother Takae intrigues me and Yumi appears to be more than you might imagine at first blush.

6.Which character do you despise the most?

Hmmm. I don't know if I despise any of them. It's a little early to despise, lol!


7. Did you like the mini-game? Why or why not?

No, I did not. I thought it was too cutesy and too juvenile.

8.Did you like the demo? Why or why not?

I didn't play the demo yet.

9.What do you hope is not included in the game?

Great question. I hope that HER does not include endless and pointless puzzles that have no bearing on the plot.

10. Do you have any traditions for ND games?

Well, I like to make sure the mood is right and I'm not disturbed during game play by people who call me on my cell, so I leave my cell in the other room and don't answer calls until I'm finished with the game. Although I don't play the game in one sitting. But I don't answer calls when I'm gaming, unless it's my cousin who is also a rabid ND gamer.

11. Are you doing anything special for saw? (such as eating special snacks, doing activities while waiting, etc.)

I'm thinking I will drink green tea, since that's very Japanese.

12.ARE YOU READY FOR THE AWESOMEST GAME EVER?! (sorry for all caps I just wanted to emphasize)

I hope you're right, Cat! I hope SAW is the "awesomest game ever." However, I'm reserving judgment until I play. I'm afraid I've been around these boards for a couple of years now, and not to sound like the wise old sage, but people always get excited thinking "this is the one," then let down, at least lately. RAN was a big disappointment to me. WAC was okay. TOT was fun, but not much of a mystery. I hope, though, really hope, that SAW is the game we've all been waiting for!

Great quiz! ~Jas
