Compared to most recent games' stories, that's quite lame.
I never played Maniac Mansion, DOTT or Monkey Island for their stories, I played them for the fun writing, compelling atmospheres, and high interactivity. That's what today's games lack, which they (try to) compensate with deeper/darker stories and better graphics.
