George Broussard's tweet about the future of PnC adventures
Gins replied to TimeGentleman's topic in General Discussion
Immersion does not equal high end graphics 👍 When you play a game a lot is designed to be filled in by your mind: When Guybrush holds out his hand and a door opens, naturally I don't interpret it as him being a Jedi but as him touching some door handle and turning it. To some of us the Scummbar has a doorknob. To some a doorhandle. To some it's a swingdoor. Some never thought about it at all. (Some might actually think Guybrush IS a Jedi, considering there is at least one other in the game canonically ) People call books immersive and their graphics suck and didn't get better in the past millennia. To be fair, most books don't constantly hint at the Illiad to cater to the fans of the classics but come up with their original stories even if the UI remained largely the same. Maybe this is what the author of the OP article means. -
George Broussard's tweet about the future of PnC adventures

The stopping certainly hurts more casual audiences, who are in the market in this quantity now because of the low barrier of entry. Back in the day of adventure games though, the personality, mindset and circumstance it took to enjoy a PnC was not far from that needed to bother with the machine that plays them in the first place. Both required patience, curiosity, frustration tolerance and time. Not to mention games were expensive and to have a game that you got stuck on and were able to continue to play in your head while the PC was off, was awesome. Console players and phone players entered the market without needing these things, so the games they enjoy reflect that. PnCs in their classic form cater to a very specific audience who is as small now as it was back then. The market around that audience grew an absurd amount. It's good that a lot more people can find entertainment in video games today. But it makes a lot of sense that these people wouldn't have the same taste as the pioneers in that market, or they would have been there from the start. -
I interpreted it as, since Guybrush is telling the story, he _wanted_ to tell it with something like @ThunderPeel2001 suggested, but pivoted to the "figure of speech" line after Boybrush's protest 😁

The cutscene looks Indiana Jonesy but something is just off about it that I might get used to when I play the game. Loved the Wolfensteins and when I played them, especially Old Blood, I already thought that felt a lot like Indiana Jones. It should be amazing. And it might be. Fingers crossed 🤞

I'm aware, although I didn't play Tales in German yet either, now that you mention it.

The German version was also my childhood version, which I have not played for a while now in favour of the native English. They got the German voice of Guybrush, Norman Matt, to return to Monkey Island for Return to Monkey Island though. So maybe I'll try that on my next playthrough.
