Fair enough. I haven't actually played
The Feeble Files yet, but I remember hating the fireworks section in
Simon3D.

Story, puzzles and humor really worked as a compensation, and I didn't find Simon that obnoxious. Maybe because I love british humor, maybe because there were very few really good humorous adventures in the last 6-7 years. And Simon3D succeeded in this field for me.

Hmm... I'd call myself a fan of British humour, but I'm not sure that
Simon3D is a good example. Most of the humour in the game seems to be developed out of Simon being rude to everyone he meets. Sure, you're more than welcome to find that kind of thing funny, but I can't help but feel that there comes a point at which the character becomes so rude that he's distinctly unlikable. Stealing from the guy stuck down in a pit springs to mind, as does needlessly insulting every character that Simon ever meets, or the deeply unfunny breaking-the-fourth-wall jokes involving the fairy helper character.
Now, I'm not saying that
Simon3D is devoid of humour - that's not true - but a great number of the jokes fell flat for me.
