Let's complain about adventures...

[Erwin_Br]

Um...if you illegally downloaded a game, you can't really complain about it not having a manuel.

I agree. More than that; you can't complain about the game itself as well. So what if you didn't like it? It's not that you lost any money on it.

Um...if you illegally downloaded a game, you can't really complain about it not having a manuel. And please curb you language and use of Cap Locks. Its not something an Immensly Happy stanta-style Elf-type thing would do.

You do realise that she was being facetious, don't you?  It was her own special way of thanking me for pointing out they numpad control to her.  Also; considering she only used caps in blocks of one or two words, I consider it more likely that she was holding shift, rather than hitting caps lock.

You utter fool.

I am so shamed.

I will commit sepku in my defeat.

I suggest that you learn how to spell it, first.

[MillsJROSS]

Nah...If I'm going to spell it in English, I'd rather spell it incorrectly. Anyway, I've decided against it. Too messy. Unless you want to use your sponge like qualities to clean me up.

Clean up?  Gladly.

But before you die, let me point out that you were not attempting to spell the word in English, but that you were attempting to spell the word with the Roman alphabet, which is use by many other languages, too, you racist pig-dog.

[MillsJROSS]

Speaking of which, dealing with the Roman alphabet, kind of, and back to the subject.

I hate it when games from other countries come over here and mistranslations occur. Yes, I know it's bound to happen, it just irritates me. Then again, it irritates me more, when they are from the U.S. and have bad grammar, too (this only really irritates me, with comercial games).

You know, I'm being totally hypocritical here, seeing as BR fell fault to this... but I think more serious games should be released. There are too many games with zany, wacky plotlines. It's not like they shouldn't be funny; Grim Fandango had a serious enough plotline and was extremely funny at the same time. The humour just came from a different source. It came from the character interactions with each other, as apposed to their surroundings and inane behaviour and inability to perform the requested tasks.

I would love to see more serious plotlines for AGS games, and more stories based on folklore or non-european stories, counties, etc.

And I find it interesting (If relieving) nobody has tried a Grim Fandango sequel... (Except maybe Lucasarts, but time will tell...)

Nonsensical puzzles- IE, puzzles over the smallest, mundane tasks that are there just for the sake of having puzzles.  Why do you have to search your house for a key just to start your car when you already have a key ring?  And I swear, if I have to fix one more elevator (with a safety pin nonetheless) I'll scream.

I have a future project coming up called SKRIBBLEZ.  It's about a man who finds out that he lives in an adventure game and wants out.  It makes fun of almost everything you've posted here.  Look for it- I don't know when.  I have the story, some character art, now all I need is some time.
