Adventure Gamers - Forums

In the last 12 months we have seen several big budget highly anticipated adventure games get less than stellar reviews.

That and the fact that a major developer publishes what can at best be called interactive movies instead of adventures games is also a factor.

If Syberia 3 had been a major critical success for example, I bet we’d have at least 15 people wanting to do a CPT of it.

I’m perfectly happy with a CPT with 5-6 people who really liked a small budget - yet highly reviewed indie title.

Just in case, where can Technobabylon be purchased? Please don’t say that it’s only available on Steam.

How come you ALWAYS need other people to tell you simple stuff you can look up yourself? I mean, how hard is it to go to GOG.com and type “technobabylon” or to google the game? Or even easier, to look it up in AG’s database?

I’ll walk you through it.
Go to the top of the page.
Look for “search for games”.
Type “technobabylon” and hit enter.
That’s all there is to it.

You’re just lazy.

So does that mean I can get Technobabylon disqualified if I create a rebellion thread for that too?

Of course!
And just think of all the love that will come your way…

I have always suggested that whenever a game is nominated it should be accompanied by a resource. It’s not being lazy. It’s a courtesy to people you want to support your game. BTW, if you go to the top of the page and type “Technobabylon” (without quotes) you will be inundated with links to every mention of Technobabylon on AG since the beginning of time. Not a quick and easy search for the source. And if you type the same into Google, you’re going to be hit with pages of links to reviews and walkthroughs.

It’s soooo much easier to ask the person that nominated the game where I can purchase it should I decide to participate in the playthrough should it win.

OMG. How painful. In all these years you’ve never even used the AG database once, have you. There are TWO search boxes. You typed in the FORUM search box. So you got FORUM posts that mention Technobabylon. Didn’t I say “go to the TOP of the page” and look for “search for games”?

Are you serious? Don’t you know how to use Google? If you want reviews you add the word review. If you want walkthroughs you add the word walkthrough. If you want to buy a game you add the word buy.

Oh yes, much easier for you. And lots of people come to your rescue whenever you need help. But you really should be able to use the AG database. You are either lazy or unwilling to learn.

This thread is always more fun to read than the actual playthroughs.

Hiya Zorba! Lovely Discworld avatar, but your sig is another matter… 

Actually you said anyone that nominates a classic (old) game for play should say where they can buy it at. Recent games don’t need this - both gog and steam will usually have them and you should be able to purchase them directly from the publisher as well.

So far, this CPT voting is pretty close, some good games have been nominated, it will be interesting to see who wins.
