Maniac Mansion is good, it let's you do just about anything you can think of and generally it leads to a solution of some sort. There being multiple solutions makes it a lot better than most lucasarts adventure games where you have to follow their insane cartoon logic to figure out what to do

Lumpy the Cook posted:For some reason Telltale was really, really (REALLY) loving salty that the vast majority of players sided with Kenny instead of Lilly, who they expected people to like somehow, which is why he became a deranged psycho out of seemingly nowhere in S2 (unless you picked Lilly’s path, and then it makes more sense). They’ve said numerous times that siding with Kenny in S1 is strictly not canon, and that’s the only choice they’ve ever really put their foot down like that. It’s really weird. I wonder if they just hated his voice actor or something lol what the gently caress. Kenny was my boy. I sided against him when he wanted to cave that guy’s head in case he was about to turn but otherwise we were bros all the way. I ended Season 2 walking off into the unknown with him because the safe place wouldn’t allow him in and I refused to enter without him and then never continued the series because that seemed like a decent ending.

Most of season 2 was everyone acting like Kenny was a lunatic because he seemed pissed off all the time but never really did anything crazy, but my favorite was when you spare a secondary villain that you could have killed, and he thanks you by gathering up his posse and ambushing your party, killing one of them, and then everyone acts like Kenny saying you should execute him this time instead of sparing him again means that he’s some kind of evil mad dog psycho. That bad guy then goes on to shoot a little girl but nobody admits that Kenny was right.

I think I hate classic adventure games because I was exposed to Myst first. I watched my uncle play it and the mysterious setting and puzzles were just as obtuse but they were actually fun to figure out. Plus there was way less annoying text and voices to sit through

I don't care what anyone says. Old School adventure games suck rear end. Agreed. The only two point and click adventures (out of all that I've tried) is Maniac Mansion on the NES and Discworld for the PS1. Give those two a try.

the games wadjet eye puts out (including unavowed) are wonderful and have been getting easier over time, and started pretty easy. i absolutely love the blackwell series the pleasure in a point and click adventure is a slow burn, it is teasing out the logic of the developers, its like pulling at a knot, finding the right way things go together

The only true point and click game I've played is harvester bc it was funny as hell. I had a guide to get to all the jokes. I still don't think I finished it though

Kongming posted:I still like Quest for Glory to this day but trying to play any of the other old Sierra games is a waste of time. The qfg games were the best sierra games because the puzzles werent insane Roberta Williams strained logic puzzles and if you didnt want to do the puzzle for max points you always had a couple other solutions like kicking the door down or shooting a spell

lucasarts game where your puzzle is to use a piece of twine tied to a pigeon to get a pack of fart-gum that someone threw onto the roof, and then use your spork to flick the fart-gum into the security guard's mouth so that he farts so hard he shits himself and has to run to the bath room, allowing you access to the "lovely boxers" 300 pound gen-x nostalgia gamer: "Hahahaha, they don't make games like they used to!"

I don't care what anyone says. Old School adventure games suck rear end. I still like them but yeah. The combining items mechanic was never very interesting to me. Especially in games where you could leave without required stuff and only find out your stuck hours later

I still loved it, especially the humor and the music. I didn't find the puzzles that ridiculous Also there was a hidden F bomb in the game that wasn't discovered until like two months ago lol

I played all those games as a child + the sierra ones and it probably made me insane. Space Quest 1 had a cool thing where if you get caught by some random alien chasing you who tries to kiss you in the first zone of the game, much later, about 5 minutes from the end of the game, a Xenomorph chestburster pops out of your body and kills you and you basically have to play the whole game over if you want to see the ending

Anyway Indiana Jones & The Curse of Atlantis by Lucasarts is probably the old adventure game that holds up the best just because it has multiple puzzle solutions and ways to fight or talk your way out of situations where you can't solve the puzzle

I played the Longest Journey a couple years back and really liked it. Its pretty easy for an old school adventure game. I needed to look up a few of the puzzles but it was generally pretty easy to figure out and the story was good.

from what i remember of it i think the dig was very easy and way less obtuse after the first puzzles but also its an average game in a genre where even the best games are merely ok so i wouldnt recommend revisiting it

kinda unrelated but EA refused to take the loot boxes out of FIFA 19 in Belgium, where lootboxes were declared gambling a few months ago, and if the game ships this Friday with the ultimate team stuff still in it they're going to court against the Belgian government. Loot boxes may actually be gone from gaming in the next few years...thank you Belgium
