I seem to recall there was another Zak fan game, closer to the original style, that had a graphic sex scene out of nowhere near the end.

Man, this game is embarrassing. The incredibly extended Murray scene, and then the plane bit (and especially the voice acting on the plane). And the "Italian", good lord.

In this episode, Germans trying to put on even remotely convincing French accents. Incroyable! Did Zak constantly talk to the player in the original game? It's really annoying.

Ah, German humor. Second only to British cuisine on the cultural wasteland map.

I'm sorry, I'm trying to delete it.

Rocket Baby Dolls posted:It's here forever now. British humour is a weird beast these days and it's quite hard to find anything that's even halfway decent. A good amount of British shows used to have some wit and intelligence behind them but television companies have been pushing reality stuff hard over the past couple of decades. German humor and British food are the two problems according to the ancient joke (I also wasn't actually trying to delete it, I humorously stand by it).

The cringe levels are going off the chart with this one. Poor David Fox. Poor Arnold Schwarzenegger. Also that's not how you pronounce Diogenes. They clearly have audiovisual talent, just... the writing and puzzle design are atrocious. gschmidl fucked around with this message at 08:54 on May 5, 2023 |

Maybe I'm grumpy or overly harsh, but I also found all of Phoenix's remakes of older Sierra games terrible.

There's a pretty lengthy diary on the game's home page about them tracking down the original devs and meeting up with them that borders on "creepily obsessive".

Rocket Baby Dolls posted:I may be missing something but I can't see anything creepily obsessive. This is the one that I've found: http://www.mckracken.net/cms/between-timespace-2/besuch-bei-lucasarts.html It read obsessive to me, maybe I misinterpreted it. What I'm not misinterpreting is Zak not shutting up about being in a game. It's not funny or cute, goddammit.

In a way, this game feels a lot like a low-budget version of a Quantic Dreams or Bloober Team game: really good visuals and sound (except maybe that explosion sequence in the pre-credits cutscene), utterly wasted thanks to the terrible writing and directing. And Jesus Christ that epilogue is agonizing. What is it with Germans and shagging in adventure games? And, uh, a "routine pregnacny test"? Speaking of agonizing, Rent-A-Hero. I remember it as one of the worst adventure games I've ever played. Thanks for playing this so I didn't have to.

Rocket Baby Dolls posted:I haven't played through Rent-a-Hero before, my only experience with it so far is doing playtesting to see if it was feasible to LP. I really don't know what to make of it so far but the reviews for this game make it seem very favourable. I guess that time will tell, from what I do know of it the game is relatively short so even if it is terrible it won't last for long. Being Austrian myself, I played it in the original German. I don't fully remember why I hated it so much, it's been decades, but I think it was endless, slow trekking between locations and an unbelievably unlikeable protagonist.
