Shoddy marketing is part of the charm. Just like bugs in Russian games. Or Valve missing their deadlines.

OlMaster posted:I've just bought the Broken Sword collection as I'm on an adventure binge right now. The HD resolution on the remakes sound nice but I'm hearing some bad things about how they're not true to the original, especially the first one's 'Director's Cut', and it's difficult to tell if it's just purist complaining or legitimate problems. I played the remastered edition before the original and the pacing felt broken. I'd play the original first and the remake after a while (new puzzles are ok). They are goodish adventure games. Not Lucas Arts/Gabriel Knight quality but definitely better than King's Quests etc. The third is quite weak though.

Pellam posted:I'm playing Arcanum for the first time and finding it fairly difficult. The interface is a pain and there's a distinct lack of tooltips to help you to figure out what the best options are for levelling up. In Fallout I always went for melee in the early stages and switched to guns later on. I'm trying the same in Arcanum with a little bit of healing magic but even at level 4 the wolf in the mines is giving me trouble. Is this a bad build long term? I'm not into min-maxing but I don't want to slog through with a terrible build either. I'm playing as a damage dealing mage (harm spamming) and it became very easy after few levels. Beginning is tough because you don't have lots of fatigue, but after that, you can kill enemies without your companions and get shittons of xp. Broken but still a great game, perhaps even better than Fallouts.

Amethyst posted:I'd agree with everything here except the Gabriel Knight games. Unless you have a nostalgic attachment to them they don't hold up today, thanks to the lovely sierra style puzzles. I hadn't played them before GOG but still loved the first and third game (second was ok). I used walkthrough quite a lot but it doesn't really matter because these games are all about story and atmosphere. One of the few video game series with actual chemistry between the characters.

One of the best games ever created. Play on the hardest difficulty. It adds lots of objectives and makes the game much more interesting. Monster/human ratio is about 50:50. Monsters are generally less fun enemies but fortunately there's some very good haunted levels.

Saoshyant posted:What kind of game is Whispered World, anyway? From the store page it seems like a point and click with a strange art style of the kind I'm not sure I dig. Anyone played it? Yeah, it's a traditional point and click adventure. The story isn't too exciting and there's several WTF puzzles (also some good ones) plus the main character is annoying whiner with a terrible voice actor. Art is lovely but I would never pay more than 5 euros for it.

THE BAR posted:Have anyone else noticed how The Witcher doesn't have 5/5 stars anymore? Seems really odd, given how lavish people tend to be with their ratings. It's probably because Witcher is The Big Title and therefore played and reviewed by those who aren't already fans of the game. Something like Little Big Adventure (both have 5 stars, seriously?) is only rated through nostalgia glasses.

Zeeman posted:Is Fahrenheit/ Indigo Prophecy worthwhile? I've heard it gets very hosed up at a certain point It's quite unique experience. Just know that while the story begins nicely it becomes overly crazy and stupid (it doesn't help that they had to cut lots of content) and the gameplay is quick time event heavy. It's still worth that price.

Humerus posted:Is XIII any good? I remember I kinda wanted to buy it when it came out back when but never did. It's decent but nothing spectacular. Comic book style (visible sound effects, kill cam panels, cel shading) is still quite unique and the story is deep for an fps (although I guess it wasn't very memorable as I've forgotten nearly everything after playing it few years ago). Gameplay is your standard early 2000s fps with not-too-bad stealth sections. Get it if you want to play a story-driven agent shooter.

jivjov posted:GOG is currently matching the 50% discount on Legend of Grimrock, snag it for $7.49 and enjoy some old-school dungeon crawling. The devs just released the level editor as well, and its probably the most user-friendly dungeon editor I've ever had the pleasure of working with. Worth noting that if you buy directly from the developers you get both non-drm version and a Steam key. The game also uses Steam Workshop which might make searching/installing mods somewhat easier if you use the Steam version.

steinrokkan posted:So, after some time I ventured into the store and got overwhelmed. Basically, I'd like to ask if there are any good adventure games you would recommend. I already own some of the classics (Gabriel Knight, TLJ, the new Monkey Island), but since I don't know most of what they have on offer, I'd really enjoy some tips. And yeah, I own all the Cryo (Atlantis) games too. Blackwell games are my personal favorite (after Lucas Arts and Gabriel Knight). Invidual games are quite short (2-3 hours, except the fourth one which is little longer) and production values are small but the story and puzzles are great. http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/blackwell_bundle

You bang a chick on the beach in LSL3 (in EGA un-glory, gentlemen and ladies) and in LSL5 you can burst open the blouse of one of the contestants. I don't know the exact stuff but already edited my post. Wikipedia says: "According to https://www.allowe.com Vivendi excluded Love for Sail! from the collection in fear that the hidden easter egg ending would give the collection an Adults Only rating." e. Here's more speculation: http://www.allowe.com/Larry/collections.htm Al Lowe posted:A marketing person from VU Games told me that they did not include LSL7 because of a 5-second-long Easter egg that we included as a "reward" in case anyone scored all 1,000 points and found all 32 collectibles. Even though I told him it was easy to prevent it from ever appearing and even told him how to fix it, they were afraid that the ESRB would somehow find out that it was still in the compiled game files and give the entire collection an AO rating. (Or whatever rating the ESRB gives for 5 seconds of cartoon nudity seen by less than 0.001% of the people who play the game!). <sigh> (This was year after the Hot Coffee controversy) Kennel fucked around with this message at 12:49 on Feb 19, 2013 |

Yeah, the issue with Dreamfall is that none of the elements (puzzles, combat or sneaking) offers any kind of challenge and therefore the gameplay is pretty much just walking around and talking to everyone. The story isn't anything spectacular but still worth playing/watching and visiting the old places was fun.
