1.21 Jigawatts? Posted December 17, 2001 Share Posted December 17, 2001 Those Roberta Williams horror games, Phantasmagoria - thats it. Sucked so badly, horrible acting, terrible puzzles. I only got that game because I bought the Roberta Williams collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmatz Posted December 17, 2001 Share Posted December 17, 2001 Originally posted by pigsfl3w I agree for the most part but THE DIG is an excellent game. It doesn't belong in a discussion like this. You might as well say that Grim Fandango suffers from poor character design. I'm sorry, I just love that game and needed to vent. Thank you very much. I don't know how one can see that game as a BAD game. Every advneture game needs puzzles, and its personal interests if someone doesn't like them. If a single person doesn't like the puzzles that doesn't make it a bad game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to go to any of the other worlds to win. See 2 mins of game play. sure I had to lay through it once to get that but then it has 0 replayability because of the easyness of winning.

Or you can cheat and look it up on the internet or something, but then you're not playing it properly. Sure there's no replayability as far as solving stuff goes, but it's still fun to play again to experience the wonderful atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meksilon Posted December 19, 2001 Share Posted December 19, 2001 According to The Adventurer SoMI and MI2 must be bad games, you can beat them in well under 2mins combined (Ctrl-W). I like Myst. =mek= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmatz Posted December 19, 2001 Share Posted December 19, 2001 Now that I have discussed it a bit, I'm tending to like the Myst Series. Anyways, the hardest part I remember in the original Myst was the part with the piano in the rocket... if you had a bad sound card you could NEVER get that right...

Metallus Posted December 19, 2001 Share Posted December 19, 2001 Agh, Organ puzzle was easy to solve but frustrating. I had to solve it by humming the note and holding it until I made it over to the control panel. And my computer was SLOW, so I'd usually run out of breath.

dark spirit Posted December 19, 2001 Share Posted December 19, 2001 If I had to choose it would be Broken sword 1, I love everything about it but my beef is that whenever I swith back to disc 1 it messes up a bit because I have the sold-out software version and the autorun comes up anddisrupts the game and sometimes when I haven't saved for a while and I go into the room where you have to make a key to get into it, it freezes up!

Heh, yeah but when you are in like 2nd-4th grade (i forget) I really had bad memorization skills and really sucked at it. I dunno... I found it to be a sorta difficult part... maybe I did it the wrong way or something. If my dad hadn't given the CD away, I'd try it again, but now I have to go buy the game all over or something.

Navhead Posted December 21, 2001 Share Posted December 21, 2001 Hmm. Never played Myst (fortunately? ). I thought the Space Quest games were pretty good otherwise except that you died if you stepped into the wrong shrubbery, and that was very often.

scabb Posted December 21, 2001 Share Posted December 21, 2001 Originally posted by telarium I certainly would have designed the puzzle structure differently. The problem with a lot of adventure games is that they have weird item combinations that don't make logical sense. For example: the salesman who wants to write up a contract so he needs a piece of paper. Why is it that only one piece of paper in the entire town can be used to make the contract? A designer should anticipate such things and design the puzzles with this in mind. LucasArts usually does a good job of this. If LucasArts had a puzzle similar to this, they would have the characters give reasons as to why other paper won't work for the contract, and provide hints as to what kind of paper is needed. Still, Gilbert is a good challenging game with an old-fashion feel to it. I'd still suggest it to hard core 2d adventure gamers, just as long as the don't expect the quality of a game like The Curse of Monkey Island. I meant it has a structure like Find Item to get item to get item to get item Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BooJaka14m Posted December 22, 2001 Share Posted December 22, 2001 Discworld 1 was a bad game. It was very illogical and, quite frankly, boring. I'm glad I downloaded it instead of buying it. Discworld 2 was good but a bit short. I wish it went on for a bit longer. Discworld Noir was superb but a bit hard in places. So Discworld 1, basically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haxaty Posted December 22, 2001 Share Posted December 22, 2001 Discworld 1 rules!!! It's not as good as Monkey Island, but heck is it funny! ok ok, sam and max and DOTT were also funnier. but it still owns! Go Rincewind! Who doesn't want to play a goofy wizard who has to save a city from a dragon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1.21 Jigawatts? Posted December 22, 2001 Share Posted December 22, 2001 Most, if not all the puzzles in Discworl 1 were very illogical, and frankly very hard to figure out. The rest of the game was well made - but that really made it annoying. The 2 sequels were much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westford Posted December 24, 2001 Share Posted December 24, 2001 I hated 'Flight of the Amazon Queen'. Basically 'cos the main character (who was called Joe King for God's sake!) was a rip-off of Han Solo and Indiana Jones combined. Whoever wrote the game basically took all the one-liners from SW and Indy and tried to build a game around them. Then they put in a female character who was an irritating cross between Princess Leia and Willie Scott... The actual puzzles weren't that great either, in fact I don't think I ever completed it 'cos I got so fed up with it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1.21 Jigawatts? Posted December 24, 2001 Share Posted December 24, 2001 I liked quite a lot of Flight of the Amazon Queen. I tried very hard to compete with Lucasarts games. And I think some of it was funny - and the storyline was not too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
