Isn't that just as bad? I've definitely thought to myself
"C'mon, hurry the **** up!" in a lot of games; The Longest Journey and Syberia to name a few from recent memory. Regardless of realism, sometimes I just want my character to perform quicker. The pace at which your character performs actions is a conscious design decision as we've both suggested - and some developers clearly need to work harder on making their games less frustrating to watch/play in my opinion.
So yeah, maybe "slow motion" is the wrong term, but I have to agree with the OP that a lot of adventure games feel too slow, to the point of frustration.
