Pleeeease make it possible to skip action scenes?

[Frkbrok]

I have tried this game and I actually like both the graphics and the story and enjoyed it immensely all the way up to the action motorcycle scene. And I got stuck. I cannot get through it - I am not an action player, strictly old school adventure for me ;O)

Happily I tried on a friends computer and therefore did not buy a game I couldnt play. But the story is very interesting and I would love to buy it, if the skip option was possible. (Preferably on a sale though :O) )

The action scene on the motorcycle was awful. I managed to do it as its not that hard but I would much have preferred it as a cutscene so I could enjoy the animations instead of concentrating on where on the screen to press an arrow.Seriously not impressed with this game and wish I had the chance to play a demo before I bought this game at its ridiculously high price.This game will not appeal to an action fan and neither will it appeal to your average point and click fan.I loved lost horizon one and was really looking forward to this but I will think really hard before buying another game from the developer.

Cant you get a refund from Steam?

[Frkbrok]

You really should be able to get a refund - especially since it is labeled as point and click and not action. The devs are really placing them selves between two chairs - as mo54 says - action players cant be bothered and it doesnt appeal to most adventure players either.

I am SO happy, I didnt buy this game!!!!

You need to click on the arrow circles, not on the keyboard arrows. It's very easy.

[Frkbrok]

I know Julia - but I could only make the first two clicks - there just wasnt enough time ;O)

[julia-10]

Then you need to click on the circle quickly and repeatedly

[Frkbrok]

Julia - I know how to do it. I just cant do it.

It was impossible for me too. I played with notebook. The combination of the slow graphic card and the touchpad made it impossible. Even more annoying is that one cannot save the game during a action scene. I must load an old savegame to decrease the graphics settings for a smoother mouse and gameplay. Then I came through. There is also a bug, I got the action scene paused (don't know how) and could press the arrows but when I would continue the game crashed.

i too am having trouble with the motorcycle scene i get to the end and i can't get it the bike slows down to much. it loks like the meter only goes half way and than stops. what can i do to get by this. thanks.

[greatsmitty2004]

i can't understand it yesterday i must have tried 100 times to get though the gate on the motorcyle and today i got it on the 3rd try

[Gingergal]

I couldn't get past the motorbike scene because everytime it tried to get through the final (?) gate the game kept crashing to desktop, eventually I got a skip scene box and managed to skip it. It is a buggy game.

Had no problems there myself, but jeeepers trying to make a phone call with the interface a little later in the game made me return it.

gosh I wish I had read your post before I bought the game. (sigh)I love Lost horizon and thought this would be as good. I am so disappointed . The motorcycle part got me and I agree, I would rather be able to enjoy a cut scene rather than struggling to click the arrows the right amount of time... :(

Same problem here, couldn't get past that action scene, my computer was too slow. So I tried again with low graphics quality and it worked just fine.
