Bleh, sooo hard!
Missed a coin at 12:09, didn't know until at the end, so instead of replaying from that point (might not seem so long as it's a short longplay, but this game is SOOOO hard, so would have taken too much time for me to bother), I hex edited the save state and gave me +1 coin so I could pay for the fare. So be careful not to miss ANY of the coins, as ALL of them are needed. If the coin had not faded away, I would not have missed it. Why would they make VITAL items like that fade away? Stupid difficult as you can fail so easily anywhere and not knowing as the game goes on. You can get far into the game and then not get anywhere as you maybe didn't do something right in the very beginning. Luckily, most games are not like this, you can't progress too far if you don't do something right, or you will know what you need to do, but not in this one.
Sure, if this game was A LOT easier, it would be OK if you could progress far into the game yet not get anywhere much later as you didn't do the right thing in the very beginning, because then you could just figure out what it was and redo it fairly easily, and of course you will once again after that notice how you don't get anywhere again and need to rethink what you did earlier and replay from the start AGAIN.... BUT, eventually you would know all the right things and getting further each time would be OK, even if you had to replay the game every time, as long as it's not this STUPID hard. Same thing goes for Shadow of the Beast I. -
