Christmas Quest

tsa · 12-17-2006, 08:41 AM

Thank you, Adventure Gamers, for a game that looked eerily like the game I downloaded last year! I had fun playing it again!

***Jackal*** · 12-17-2006, 09:02 AM

Well, sure, we had to re-release it. CQ is part of Christmas tradition now.

And, shockingly, some people might not have played it yet!

We'll still be doing something new for this Christmas, of course.

MadTricks · 12-17-2006, 09:06 AM

For example, i haven't played it....

jacog · 12-17-2006, 09:34 AM

perhaps next year you can change some of the graphics and text a bit and call it 'Hanukah quest'

QFG · 12-17-2006, 11:10 AM

Let's not forget Kwanzaa Kwest

Why just release it at this time of year. A few modifications and you could have Easter Quest.

Does the re-release have any vast leaps forward from last year's version? FMW? Full 3-D modeling with realistic hair? A new and innovative control system?

***Jackal*** · 12-17-2006, 02:30 PM

It's no different than the final update from last year (which was done in early January).

AFGNCAAP · 12-17-2006, 02:39 PM

...but, it's available at half the original price!

Yes, all of those things.

GoT · 12-19-2006, 06:37 PM

All of them and more!? Here's hoping! i've just downloaded and installing soon!!!

*stepurhan* · 12-20-2006, 05:12 AM

I can't believe no-ones called me on my Full Motion Wideo typo.

Can't wait to see what the "something new" Jackal mentioned for this year is.

Toefur · 12-20-2006, 05:19 AM

Well, after playing this game extensively all day I have to admit that I'm not really impressed. I mean, in all it's attempts to offer something new and innovative to the adventure genre - does it still remain a true adventure game itself? I think the developers should have focused more on the roots of Christmas adventure themes, rather than trying to be the next Halo or Counterlife.

tsa · 12-20-2006, 08:11 AM

Well I disagree. I was impressed with the quality and richness of the story. This truly reveals the spirit of the Christmas feast as it lives in our hearts. And it shows us that in reaching the goal of a perfect Christmas, perseverance, stamina and inventivity are of paramount importance.

***Jackal*** · 12-20-2006, 08:40 AM

It's actually not a game at all. It's art.

Spoiler:
Sort of like potato painting is art.

Tsa, you do know Toefur was kidding, right? (Just checking.) Though maybe not about the unimpressed part.

Counterlife?

Yes, I know. I was kidding too...
