3rd persons now don't appear to have great stories, characters or voice acting (Still Life being the only acception).

Because of this, I've naturally moved to the older 3rd persons and 1st persons.

1st person appear to tell a story more by visuals than monotonous dialog and flat voice acting. It's only because of the drop in quality of 3rd persons that I've truly begun to understand the beauty of these games.

Also, over the last few years when I've been playing more and more adventures, I've learnt to chill out and take my time with a game, unlike years ago when I was used to non-stop action games, requiring split second timing and reflexes.

I'm playing Cleopatra and things are going mega slow. I've heard this game is on the easy side of 1st persons, but it's generally kicking my behind. But I'm enjoying every moment I'm solving a puzzle on it.

I wouldn't have had the patience 2 years ago though. So it refreshing to find out what I've been mission out on.
