Sven_Q45 Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 So a new thread. The LA-Adventures are still alie but the company is dead. And this forum seems to be dead too. The last time I played: So Blonde (on a weekend and the last parts in the next week) Goin´ Downtown (On one weekend) Perry Rhodan (On one weekend) Treasure Island (On one weekend) Don´t forget Zak 2. And my favorite/adventure game of the year: Edna bricht aus. (Edna and Harvey: The Breakout) Ok I don´t want to post more. I played too much. Oh I forgot the english versions of: (got ´em from bgbennyboy) Sam and Max Full Throttle Grim Fandango The Dig and Indy 6 At the moment I play The Abbey. Next adventuregame would be Sunrise and then on September 29: Secret Files Tunguska 2. At last in german. And then I can spend my time for older titles from 2007 and a little bit older and Simon the Sorcerer 1/2. Oh and I must play Goblins 1/2/3!
Gabez Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Last adventure game was... LOOM. Which I loved. Oh wait, actually, I forgot I also played Sam & Max Season 2 episodes 1-4 (still got to play 5) which I've enjoyed very much. I think 2 and 3 were my favourites.
tk102 Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Grim Fandango was my last one unless Psychonauts counts. Looking forward to A Vampyre Story!
Sven_Q45 Posted August 25, 2008 Author Posted August 25, 2008 No one with a new adventure? Take a grip on yourself. I came away from the "only LucasArts adventures playing". @Gabez Until now I only played the second (I think) Episode (Demo) of Sam and Max Season 2.
Haggis Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 Last adventure game I played was the first episode of Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People, that was a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to more episodes of that, to Wallace & Gromit, and of course A Vampyre Story!
Huz Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 I played through the first part of The Last Express. It was brilliant while it lasted, but too open-ended and therefore too difficult and time-consuming for the likes of me. :~~
Gabez Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 The Last Express is nice and linear for the first evening, then overwhelmingly open ended for the first day (but the more you play it the better you understand it; your point about time is probably accurate), then I think perfectly linear for night 2 and day 2: linear in such a way that it feels open ended but has the advantage of putting you right into the plot. Some people say that if you can miss details that will make it difficult to solve puzzles later, but I don't think that's true at all. It is true that you will miss almost certainly miss plot details, particularly on Day 1, and if you don't understand the plot and the characters then you will find the puzzles more difficult. There's really only one puzzle for Day 1, and it involves knowing what other characters want and playing off their expectations. So do keep at it, Huz! Like a good book or film, putting in some time and effort in the first half will pay off ten-fold later on. And feel free to e-mail me if you want hints! @Haggis: Yeah I'm looking forward to Strong Bad -- I think I'll play it all as one season package as I do with Sam & Max though.
Sven_Q45 Posted August 27, 2008 Author Posted August 27, 2008 I´m now ready with The Abbey. What I read on the credits: Special Thanks: ... Ron Gilbert. What have Ron Gilbert to do with this game?
Sven_Q45 Posted August 29, 2008 Author Posted August 29, 2008 Today, brand new: Secret files 2. Now in german.
ATMachine Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 Quest for Glory II VGA. An unbelievably awesome remake job, which even goes so far as reinstating bits the designers had to cut from the original due to lack of floppy space.
Jenni Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 The last game I played was Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People Episode 1: Homestar Ruiner. I loved it since I've always found the stuff on homestarrunner.com hilarious. The fact that they built an actual good adventure game around the humour is a plus too.
Gabez Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 Welcome to the forums, Jenni! Hope you stick around. Are you Jennifer McMurray from the Secret History articles?
Jenni Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 I just played the last of the ScummVM freebie games that I haven't gotten around to playing yet: Lure of the Temptress. It was short and chasing down townspeople became frustrating after a while. But it was free, had a good story, and made me laugh in parts, so it was worth playing. Welcome to the forums, Jenni! Hope you stick around. Thanks! I love the LucasArts and Telltale adventure games a lot (and I'm looking forward to Autumn Moon's games!), so I'm sure I'll stick around. Are you Jennifer McMurray from the Secret History articles? Yep, that's me. I've been posting in the comments since the Secret History articles, and thought I'd check the forums out too.
Ray Jones Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 The Dig. It was pretty good to see some pixels again. Right now I'm trying to get a copy of Grim Fandango as it is the last of the *classic* LA adventure games I haven't played.
Aticus Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 Last I played Indy and the Fate of the Atlantis.Nice game to play.My favorite of indy series.
Sven_Q45 Posted September 1, 2008 Author Posted September 1, 2008 @RayJones What? There are people out there on the earth, who don´t played all LA-adventures yet? I´m impressed! 2008 is great. In stores. At least in Germany. Or in other countries. (I think): Edna bricht aus (Edna and Harvey: The Breakout) So Blonde Goin´ Downtown The Abbey And of course Zak 2 Coming soon: A Vampire Story All 2D. And I love 2D (comic) adventures! The rest are 3 D adventures this year.
clone2727 Posted September 2, 2008 Posted September 2, 2008 Yep, that's me. I've been posting in the comments since the Secret History articles, and thought I'd check the forums out too. Wait. Are you "MetaFox" too?
Jenni Posted September 2, 2008 Posted September 2, 2008 I just finished CSI: 3 Dimensions of Murder. It's like I was with The Dig: I enjoy the game a lot, but for some reason I couldn't spend too much time on it at one time, and found my self restarting the game and going back later quite a few times before I finally got into it. Now I just have to buy and finish CSI: Hard Evidence and I will have played through all of Telltale's games so far. Wait. Are you "MetaFox" too? Yeah, that's me.
Astor Posted September 2, 2008 Posted September 2, 2008 I just finished CSI: 3 Dimensions of Murder. It's like I was with The Dig: I enjoy the game a lot, but for some reason I couldn't spend too much time on it at one time, and found my self restarting the game and going back later quite a few times before I finally got into it. Now I just have to buy and finish CSI: Hard Evidence and I will have played through all of Telltale's games so far. I quite like the CSI games - they seem to get marginally better as they go on - but they could really do with trying to come up with some more original crimes.
Jenni Posted September 6, 2008 Posted September 6, 2008 I just finished another adventure game I bought a long time ago, but never got around to playing too much: Simon the Sorcerer II. I love fantasy stories, and I loved how Simon I turned those stories on their heads, but I didn't even finish Simon I until just last year. I'm glad I finished playing Simon II. I still prefer the original, as Simon was a bit too mean-spirited this time around, but it definitely had some really funny moments. And that ending, wow. It really makes me want to play Simon 3D now. Oh, and I loved the odd little kid that keeps popping up throughout the game. He didn't say a word, but he was just so cute, and his actions were really pretty funny. What? There are people out there on the earth, who don´t played all LA-adventures yet? I just finished playing LucasArts' SCUMM and LUA adventure games a few months ago, since I want to contribute to all of the Secret History articles. I still have to play Labyrinth though.
Joshi Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 I think the last Adventure game I played was Discworld Noir a few months back, but only halfway sinc the game broke at that point (wouldn't let me go any further) so I gave up on it. Before that though, I played both Runaway games, the second one ended on a cliffhanger, so here's hoping they bring out a third.
Sven_Q45 Posted September 7, 2008 Author Posted September 7, 2008 Ok, I´m 19. I played all LA-adventures five or six years ago. Except Dott and Maniac Mansion. I had them since I´m 8 years old. But I ended them very late. I´m ready now with my 2008 adventures. Now I must play the older adventures: Criminal Intent Dead Reefs Reprobates Gob 1-3 Simon 1 and 2 Broken Sword 4 Fahrenheit LOTT I´m playing Loch Ness, now. I´m in chapter 2. Around the World in 80 Days doesn´t work, neither on Vista nor on PX.
elTee Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 Gabriel Knight. Which I am furious at myself for missing the first time around. Great game.
s-island Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 You should be equally furious when you've finished the third game.
