I'm new here, but I've been playing adventure games since I got my second PC, which was my first with a CD-ROM drive. The PC came with Space Quest IV and I've been hooked ever since.

I hate games like Myst, like a few of the others in this thread. But, it's not the first-person as just the lack of people to interact with. I love, for example, the Telltale CSI games (though I think they're a little overpriced).

I also dislike heavy action-based games, though I'll tolerate some action if the story's good. (Like Dreamfall, for example.)

If a game has a lot of time-based puzzles, I won't like it. I'm not very good at solving puzzles, I like to be able to take my time figuring things out.

And, finally, linked to the last one, if a game's puzzles are considered so challenging even the veteran adventure gamers have trouble with it, I won't go near it. As I said, I'm not that good at puzzles, but games are no fun if I have to have a walkthrough beside me just to keep going.
