I just hope that they haven’t contacted the voice actress, because she’s just fine. Yet somehow, Her Interactive is evil and has ruined Nancy Drew.įans don’t like the new voice for Nancy Drew. It should be noted that Her Interactive hasn't done anything that Simon and Schuster hasn’t done with the franchise, and Her Interactive hasn’t even done as much as the publisher. Some fans have sent Her Interactive hate messages about this. They don’t like that Nancy, Ned, and Frank might be in a love triangle. Those who have played the game are complaining about how Ned is being treated in the games. Some fans use strong language, like calling the game "garbage" and calling the graphics “trash.” One person is "emotionally scarred." They would rather go without than experience a Nancy Drew game that is at all different from previous games. Some people have refused to purchase the new game. So long as players play the digital game for under two hours, they can return it. Other fans returned their digital game on Steam right after they began playing it. Some fans canceled their pre-orders of the physical game. They would rather have no more Nancy Drew games ever than to have any additional Nancy Drew games in the new format. Others want Her Interactive to go out of business and have actually told them so. One person stated that this game has ruined all of the previous Nancy Drew games. The comments about the Midnight in Salem game are similar to the ones made by book fans during the meltdown about CW Nancy Drew. While the Nancy Drew book fans are obsessive and judgmental about adaptations of Nancy Drew, the game fans are 100 times more obsessive and judgmental about absolutely everything that Her Interactive does. The Nancy Drew game fans take the Nancy Drew game franchise rather seriously. The meltdown that began on November 30 became worse, if that's even possible, when the game was released on December 3. The dialogue did not match up well with the movement of the characters' mouths, and the trailer also revealed some problems with the graphics. Her Interactive released the trailer for the game. The second major meltdown began on November 30. Just a couple of hours before the pre-orders were to begin, Her Interactive pushed the date back two weeks. Her Interactive had announced October 1 as the date that the game would be available for pre-order on its site. Two major game fan meltdowns occurred this fall. The Nancy Drew game fans have been been upset and annoyed for most of the last five years, and have had multiple meltdowns as the game was delayed or as Her Interactive made various missteps during the process of getting the game finished and released. I'd have loved to see movies done of the '90's books, as well.I mentioned in a recent post about Midnight in Salem that the Big Nancy Drew Fan Meltdown of 2019 was not the only Nancy Drew fan meltdown of the year.
If you've never read the books, you could really enjoy this movie.īut, it's true what they say: books are almost always better than the movie.Īlthough, if they decide to make a movie of the next book about the mystery of "Lilac Inn", I'd still watch it. She did not use a skate board and wear cut up jeans. But, in the book, Nancy managed to remain classy while getting her hands dirty. Not that there's anything wrong with a tomboy. In the book, Hannah was an older, matronly lady living and taking care of Nancy since her mom died.Īnd Nancy? Sophia is cute but not who I envisioned as Nancy. While the movie was cute, it deviated too much from the book. I recently read "The Hidden Staircase" again so I was interested in seeing just how loyal the movie was to the book.Ĭall me old fashioned I don't care. I've been reading Nancy Drew books for years-the ones from the 60's and '90's.
When I saw the title while surfing through my TV guide list, I was excited.
