So how do you feel about slideshow type games?
 

Do you find them less enjoy able with out the 3D and the free roaming in that type of game.
Or does it matter to you as long as the game is good to play?
Would you buy that type of game?
Just wondering..

Personally I hate slideshow type games, I think that style is so limiting and old. I'm all about interactivity with my surroundings not looking at a sttic image and then having cheesy transition effects. :)

By slideshow do you mean 2D point-&-click?

Yes like the adventure maker style games.
Dasilva do you like the new sam and max games?

I think the sam and max games are good, a little limited interaction wise, but its a good style.

If I'm so immersed in the game itself that I don't notice that it's a slideshow, then it's good to play. :)

Sam and Max games are just slide shows with the gif moving around the screen.

I love click and point games, my first one was Myth on an gaming system called DVO, I was hooked from then on.

:) That's exactly my sentiments as well.

:frown: Sadly, though, none of the adventures of the past few years (with the exception of the progressive and controversial Indigo Prophecy, Dreamfall, to some extent Missing: Since January, and maybe Still Life) have had that effect. Today I generally find the majority of recent and current adventure games pathetically dull, unimaginative, redundant, boring, stingy, and badly designed.

I'm literally praying that Once Upon A Time In Japan: Earth and Gray Matter turn out to be excellent.

If the game has a good story I don't mind if it's freezeframed or realtime3D.

Its works, if your on a budget. If not why limit yourself to little animated gifs and stale backgrounds?

What I was trying to say Dasilva, is that most games are slide shows.

You mean the Telltale ones? No, actually, they're real-time 3D.

Characters right , backgrounds are just 2d backgrounds that work just like a side show.
You go from one scene to the next they are just a slide show with a 3D character moving around that scene .

In other words you have no control over the camera, so in effect it might as well be a kind of slide show.

That about it . So when people say they don't like slide show games they just don't know what a slide show is.
Only true 3D game with no slide show type game would be like Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened or any of the FPS games etc etc.

Barrow Hill comes to mind. Whenever you look left, right, down or move forward it's just a slideshow; one scene after another. Scratches is another one but at least with that game you have control of the camera.
