I see that you can actually revert back to the original graphics and the remastered visuals are indeed quite a bit more pleasant to the eye although still a tad pixelated and blurry.

thats strange, you both using standard user accounts or limited the access to the users account settings? you could circumvent the run as admin stuff if you modify the codex.ini and move the save dir towards the game directory (unless thats c:\program files\)

Nope, full access, but 8.1 is a pain since it still doesn't run everything as admin automatically. No problem i just had to tick the run as admin box in properties and everything is fine.

Just recently finished a pic related to "Year 2" of the game...In honour of finally finishing this game for the 1st time,with a few uses of Guide whenever i was hugely stucked (Specially Year 2 and "The jungle of the dead") (First time finishing this game because Jungle of the Dead's puzzle was something i couldn't figure out 15 years ago...)

I'd say that puzzles in general are not the best part of the game (although they can be brilliant at times), mostly because like you said, sometimes they don't follow any logic but require trial and error instead. You just have to..improvise, so to speak.
Il_Padrino put it nicely. What makes this game unforgettable is the atmosphere, design, quality of dialogues and characterization (not to mention the really good music).
Even if some puzzles may not be excellent (I like all of them, but I'm biased), the whole package is so immersive that you will feel "sad" when the adventure is over.  |

Not the slightest bit of guilt for taking advantage of walkthroughs in games like these. Well, very sparingly or none at all in games i know have really down to earth puzzles. But like this one, mehh... You'd play this for a month or more without using a walkthough after taking a huge breaks because the game is wearing you down for you staying put whole evenings trying everything you can think of and nothing works.

Well wasn't as good as I remembered it to be.
The nonsensical puzzles... Nah, sorry I just don't like it any more. They just went too far at times, same with broken age. Some things don't even make sense in the game world they created.
Glottis... my god I didn't remember him as being this fucking annoying (Guess that twat really chose a good name for himself). 
Manny is quite likeable as ever, story was a bit weak at times, bugs were still there and well it's a shitty done remaster with not much effort put into it. They could at least fix a few bugs and add an autosave instead of spending time on the fight for equality one tweet at a time.
Just one of those times where nostalgia hyped it too much for me.

+1
I bought the remastered edition as back when it got originally released I didn't have a gaming PC so I wasn't up to date with the new titles, and since then I heard non-stop praise directed at the game. I started it a few months ago and liked the story though I didn't think it was anything too special, but the gameplay made me stop at some point in the second chapter, I ciouldn't stand the ridiculous puzzles anymore, and I'm a puzzle game lover.
Who knows maybe it suffers from the same disease than GTA Vice City and the gameplay/mechanics aged really really bad.

just rightclick on the game directory ->properties ->security ->add your user account and set it to full access
It's really one of the best characters I've ever played in a game.
