King of the Moon Like Vladimir Nabokov's 'Lolita' we're seeing his version of the story, sanitised by him. We can never know just how horrible a person he really is.
A little late, but I bet Jack had that entire conversation with himself. There was never a Chinese man. Jack was just turning around and pulling on the sides of his face.
Police: "You're under arrest, Jack Orlando!" Jack: "You'll never take me alive." Jack disappears into his coat pocket, where the police can never catch him.
Love how every time the action menu is brought up the cursor defaults to the gun. Like Jack's having to mentally force himself not to go an a shooting spree in every place he visits!
Just imagine how many players shot a guy by accident when they were just trying to talk to him. ...Which shouldn't be many, considering nobody's heard of this game before, but still...
This was me too. I was like, oh no, when he talks to this guy were gonna get so much Yellow-Kid-style "no speakee engree" dialogue that William Randolph Hearst will deserve a co-producer credit.
I think the problem is in the programming itself. When the music stops, all the other audio stops too. Only way to fix it would be to fix the source code and that's beyond me.
Damn, I was convinced it was a video render problem. I've heard audio glitches before, but never one that fixes in the middle of a sound file, that's a next level fuck up, so it matches the game's writing perfectly.
Maybe it's for the better if Jack doesn't try to fire his gun. He wasn't able to punch someone over a bar counter, no need to embarass himself even further.
The mighty clash of incompetent detectives: 1. Mike Dawson - Dark World enthusiast, master of boredom, never ceases to whine about everything... 2. Hopkins FBI - Heavenly enthusiast, master of petty revenge, don't mess with this bad cop... 3. Brent Halligan - Time traveling enthusiast, master of what-the-fuck decisions, would stab his girlfriend just because... 4. Jack Orlando - Silent Type enthusiast, master of insulting everyone in sight, picks up trash for a living... Pick your favorite, watch the magic unfold. The magic of pure unadulterated stupidity.
I was about to say that you forgot Mr.Parker...but he was actually competent. Competent enough to get some flight with some crappy wings and survive the landing.
So in the brief time since this long play started, Jack has said he hates gays, beaten up a black dude for not letting him rob him, said hookers just straight up don't have feelings, and stolen everything in sight. Why are we rooting for him again?
By the end of this, Jack will have proven himself innocent of the murder but ironically still go to jail for everything else he has done in the process.
I think I've figured out Jack's plan here. He's going out of his way to antagonize everyone he meets, just waiting for someone to get into a fight and pull a knife or a gun on him and then he'll frame them for that murder and claim he was just minding his own business before they jumped him.
I'm not sure if Jack's going to get some redemption arc down the line, or if he's just going to end up shooting every person he has a slight issue with by the end of the game. There's no way that any developer could think that someone would wanna play as someone akin to the drunk guy at the back of the bar who gets angry real easily.
@@lauramarx8098 No, they didn't. I don't know about the Chinese, but this is an actual issue for Japanese people. Simply going by Google, the Japanese use a sound that is in-between those two letters, and this makes it difficult for them to pronounce at least one of them. Similarly, you would likely have difficulty pronouncing the in-between sound. Furthermore, this is _exceptionally_ well-known. Your personal experience has nothing to do with it.
@@Mythraen i did know that Japanese /ɾ/ can be realized as either /l/ or /r/, i just hadn't encountered jokes making Rs into Ls, only ever Ls into Rs ('Engrish' etc.). i have since encountered it that way around, although only in pretty old stuff.
Considering where the game was made, he'll hear someone make an incredibly tame Polish joke and immediately shoot them. Then, he puts a sombrero and fake mustache on them to let the last words they hear be a long list of Mexican insults.
Watching Jack Orlando is as excruciating as watching the 2nd season of True Detective. Thank god for Slowbeef and Diabetus, as they give the game some flavor.
Jack Orlando has to be the most hard boiled, whisky drinking private eye stereotype that's ever been, also that saxophone is so smooth I'm just slipping and sliding all over the place.
That is 2 detective/noir games where a Chinese character is basically used as a game-guide. First the old Chinese man in Rise of the Dragon, now here with the Laundry guy.
I love poorly translated games. From what I've found toontraxx (the developer) is based out of Mannheim Germany is there anyone who can give more info on the Genesis of this game?
I just realized Jack is just randomly taking stuff that belongs to other people, just like any good adventure game protagonist, but this game it's actually justified because he's garbage. Holy crap Jack Orlando is the ideal point-and-click protag.
