I want to complain Grr

[Post New]by lineck on Nov 24, 08 11:18 PM
I have been playing "Detective Stories Hollywood" when you get to near the end at the Library when all the silloettes have to go in the correct place I know where they all are, that is the easy part but no way I can get them there and beat the clock 59seconds I went that fast my heart was racing and still could not beat the timer that is SO UNFAIR as now I cannot finish the game, has anyone else managed that part and how did they do it, I have a large screen 23" I always run out of time with two or three left. Oh that gets me angry it is so unfair. Also I still cannot get the Crows and colour on the Nancy Drew one have had some great help but still not fast enought to get them a game should not depend on speed only, we are all getting older. GIVE US OLDIES A CHANCE. should have an option for us OLDIES if they want us to continue buying their games. I have that many not completed just because of a silly stop watch,

Well I have tried it now 10 times and everytime I go outy I have to start again I know every bl***y part in the picture can even name them all off by heart but still have three left at the end of the timer, please help me cheat.... I want to go to the next level, and a "catfish insinuated that you could cheat" have downloaded three games this week, and two I cannot finish because of a d***m timer. I could swimmmmm off to a small hole and hide just like a crab, or with anger open up a Fish and Chip shop and sell OUT

If you're running out of time because you're not fast enough, how can you cheat at that?

I sure feel for you though Lineck - but please be careful about what you say about opening a Fish and Chip shop - remember you're a lobster and would probably be the first to go

My best advice to you about the game....and I don't like TM games......would be just to relax - don't think about what you're doing and just do it!! I know - "It's easy for me to say"

I had to play it a lot of times but when I frinally got them all in time I hink I either got faster or the clock got slower. Acually I think the clock must have got slower because I don't think I could have got it any faster. Juast keep playing. You will get it

Another player suggested changing to Window instead of full screen. Since I'd already tried to solve the Western one about 5 times, I thought "what the heck!" and did make the change. A miracle happened ... it worked, with 2 seconds to spare!!

Hello everyone! I just thought I’d pop in and let you know that I’ve gone ahead and moved this discussion to the forum that we have set up for Detective Stories: Hollywood.

Happy gaming!

All of these emails about the timer and Big Fish still hasn't noticed? I figured they would be able to do something about this problem. I have already written one grousing email--still stuck, by the way--but I'm writing again to say thanks for the tip about the windowed screen. I hope it works--I'm just getting ready to try it out.
Thanks loads,
gradcat

Thats OK lineck, sometimes we all get so frustrated at games that we blow-up.

BTW, I am a member of the Lobster Protection Patrol, we will save you from those fish that want to eat you.

I tried to play the game for one hour free. I could not play the game. The timer kept going but I could not get the pointer to make the game play. I am able to play all other hidden object games and more. What is wrong with the game. I am so disappointed.

Try minimising the window to a smaller one, that way you get everything within in your direct field of vision and don't have to go turning your head all the time to spot the shapes!

I have to say that replacing the items into the silhouettes is REALLY FRUSTRATING!!! 59 seconds to do the lot, and the time ALWAYS runs out right on the last object.... It's given me wrist ache and frustration.... considering removing the game just because I am now too annoyed to continue!! LOL!!

Hi
I have probs with restorting the elevator lights in Detective Stories Hollywood.
I play for over 50 times but I can't beat the clock how fast I'm doing it.
Is there a trick or something? Can anybody help me please.
Thanks
Lilly
