Your BIGGEST adventure sins!
 

Ok guys - i've never finished Grim Fandango and i've never played Gabriel Knight 3.


There you go, i had to tell it to someone. I feel so much better now, thank you. :D I may be a sinner, but on the other hand - such classics await me to play 'em for the first time! :P

Your turn!

Say three Our Fathers and ten Hail Marys. Your sins of omission are absolved. Go in peace.

I quit Dreamfall after ten minutes and never returned. I am soooo ashamed.

That's what I wish I had done! :D

I like Escape From Monkey Island.

Broken Sword 1 really bores me. But I loved Broken Sword 3!

I've started all three Dark Fall games but have never finished any of them.

The Homing Beacon puzzle in SQ6 is one of my favourites.

I FEEL SO ASHAMED!!!

Mine are legion:

- Never played a Gabriel Knight game
- Never played a Tex Murphy game
- Quit Syberia after two hours, never played Syberia 2
- Until last month I had never even heard of The Last Express
- I seldomly resist the call of the walkthrough when stuck for five minutes
- I don't think liking Escape from Monkey Island is a sin


I'm going straight to adventure game hell... ;(

Oh my God! I'm deeply shocked.
Go buy it at DotEmu.com and play it NOW!

:D

You got off VERY lightly there TimovieMan!
This is Fien's usual punishment for those of us who sin against The Last Express:

Thanks, Oscar. That's me to a T. An outstanding example of your subtle and mature humor. :devil:

PS: A pity you never joined the GAG playthrough, you would have loved the humor. :D

You may be right about that, and it would definitely have been better to have had you there to explain to me all the dirty jokes I didn't understand! :D

There you are (and deservedly so! :devil:):

P.S. I couldn't find the similar smiley with chunks of dung instead of bricks :P. That would be the right one.

Confessions are good for the soul but bad for the head:D

Heh... oh, don't worry, they're all visual. :9~

Brothers! :P

Just lie to yourself- "No, i'm not stuck yet" ;)

I'm building the wall in front of the audience? Whoa, thanks for comparing my talent with Pink Floyd :D :devil:


I'm still waiting for Fien's confession. And i want to hear something more than: "Haven't played TLE this year" :shifty:

I often play adventure games while reading along with the walkthrough opened up next to me on my Kindle. I played through The Last Express like that. :shifty:

I reckon in her case it's more like "Haven't played TLE this month!" :D.

Now, on topic: I'm not sure if those are sins, but I didn't finish GK 1 (stupid bug! :(), never started a Tex Murphy game ever and I've played Sam & Max Hit the Road only seven times Attachment 2942 (in 2011 Attachment 2942).

There are plenty other adventures I never got to play (and I plan to) but it would be too long a list to bring it here.

My friend So There would probably pour a couple of buckets of pig sh*t on me to hear I often use UHS Reader hints and MaGtRo's walkthroughs when I'm stuck in an adventure game (specially those I didn't like :r).

That's it from me in a confession booth :). For the time being.

My dear Diego.
I apologize for what I am about to say. I know how hard the truth must be for a blackhearted sinner who hasn't even finished one little Tex Murphy game. My dear friend... I have no adventure sins. None. My soul is as pure and white as snow.
Your devoted friend,
Fien :kiss:

I have never played any game with the word 'Quest' in the title...
Have not played Last Express...
Hated Dreamfall...
Haven't played any Tex Murphy, Indiana Jones or Kyrandia...
Only played the first Myst and used a walkthrough...
Liked GK 3 better than the first two...

And maybe worst of all... I enjoy HOG's...

Me neither. Never finished them anyway. And I also don't like Sam and Max and some other Lucasarts games.

Hey, me too! Is it really a sin? Talking of other sins...
I never played 7th Guest or 11th Hour or most of the Myst-like games, and I'm not planning to.
I also played through The Last Express using a walkthrough.
I think Roberta Williams is a really bad game designer.
Oh, and the most important one: I hate Samorost.

I have bought, played and finished 'The Final Cut' and 'Belief + Betrayal'.

I hate all the games of Broken Sword

Well this is my kind of topic Attachment 2945

Where do I start:
*Well I never managed to finish Dreamfall, because I got a new computer, got rid of the old one, and didn't want to go through almost the whole game again. One of my biggest sins Attachment 2947 :\ I really hope I'll play it again, and finish it this time.
*I find both GF and DotT to be hideous :r (no offence to people who like it)
*I still didn't manage to find time to play both Gabriel Knight and Broken Sword series. Attachment 2947 I really ought to play them soon :D
*I use walktroughs from time to time if I really get stuck :frusty:
*When I don't have much time to play real AGs I quite enjoy playing casual games
*I never finished Post Mortem because it got too boring for me
Attachment 2943 Attachment 2944 Attachment 2945

I could never imagine you using a walkthrough :shifty: :pan: Attachment 2946

Why would liking Escape From Monkey Island even be a sin? :P :D

I've tried to play Bad Mojo, but never managed to like it.

I've only played five minutes of Sam & Max Hit the Road, then I had to quit since it was so boring.

I like Sadwick's voice in The Whispered World.

I love mazes!
:D

Jelena, I completely agree with you on this one :D Attachment 2948 It's probably because I hate cockroaches :r

I haven't played some of the LucasArts classics like Day of the Tentacle, Maniac Mansion, or Sam and Max Hit the Road.

Also, I don't think Telltale's work is all that great. They hit the nostalgia but the gameplay is very dumbed down, at least in my limited experience.

Man, there are a lot... Never played Last Express, Still Life, and several older games. I tried Tex Murphy but my computer doesn't like it, and never tried Dreamfall or Broken Sword 3 and 4 because of the action/interfaces. I couldn't work out Myst!

Aaaand.... I thought the last two Simon Sorcerer games were okay...

I share these...


And a sister too....

Ah, I forgot this one:
I didn't much like Goblins 3!! :\ :frown: :crazy: :frusty:

And this one:
The graphics were the only thing I liked about Book of Unwritten Tales.

My biggest sin is that I peek in the walkthrough a bit too much often when I have the game with intriguing and tense story on hand.

My second biggest sin is that I'm absolutely spoiled by visual appearance of the particular title because of what I still haven't played hailed-by-many titles like Gabriel Knight, Grim Fandango and Discworld Noir. Thank God that remastered versions of the first two Monkey Island games came out. :)

Personally, I think the graphics are one of the strong points of Grim Fandango. Maybe you just don't like animated skeletons. :D You could be sprouted for that.

And the music! Oh, well, the look, the music, the whole thing. The only thing that still drives me nuts is trying to get up a certain doohickey and out of the ocean.

With goblins on your avatar... How could you :\

These have pretty much been mentioned already but

*Never played the GK games or The Last Express
*I use walkthroughs more often than I should or at least UHS
*I enjoy Escape From Monkey Island & Monkey Kombat :P
*I often use God Mode in action games

I don't consider playing casual or HOGs a sin. I enjoy them too. Never thought I would, but I'd never make the mistake of putting them in the adventure game genre.

Not an adventure sin, so it doesn't count... ;)

I want a 3-way with Guybrush Threepwood and George Stobbart :)

Not many game specific sins as I tend to like most adventure games... well, how about that I didn't like Myst and similar puzzle-esque games that feel a bit empty to me?

My main sin is that I use a walkthrough for nearly every AG, usually for logic puzzles that my brain tend to seize up on. Games like Gray Matter and Broken Sword I I didn't need a walkthrough for though. :D

*I never finished The 7th Guest because I couldn't get past the blobby microscope mini-game.

*I didn't really enjoy and didn't finish The Longest Journey.

*I didn't really enjoy and didn't finish Syberia.

*I think the reason for the previous two is that (with the exception of The Lost Crown) I don't care for third person games.

*I'm not above using a walkthrough if I get stuck to the point of frustration.

*Bittersweet game endings sometimes make me tear up.

*I occasionally use Nigel Danvers phrases in conversation with strangers in the hopes they'll notice and we'll talk adventure games. So far no one has noticed.

That's all I can think of for now. :P

Got bored of "Syberia".

Could not get into the humor of the "Monkey Island" games or "Grim Fandango".

I will never hesitate to use walkthroughs, since I play for the story/characters, and if I get stuck on a puzzle to long, it stops being enjoyable.

Non-Adventure related:
I disliked "Morrowind/Oblivion", "Dragon Age", and "Beyond Good and Evil".

I can second some of these. I liked Monkey Island 4, though I admit it was the weakest game of the original series. And I agree about Roberta Williams, though I might replace "bad" with "overrated". Also, Sadwick's voice was perfect for his character.


And a few new ones:

I liked the endgame puzzle of Obsidian. And had no trouble with Sanitarium's endgame.

Black Mirror and The Moment of Silence seem to be beloved by a lot of adventure gamers, but I found them to be average overall.

I have never been able to get into the RHEM games. (Which is a major problem for a guy like me who normally loves that sort of game.)
