Title: Nobody likes adventure games
Post by: Tartalo on Sat 21/04/2007 11:03:07
Let's face it, nobody likes adventure games, not even you.

How do you explain otherwise that the only game with 100% Enjoyment in AGS database is a shooter game (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/games.php?action=detail&id=645)?

I'm sorry, I didn't want to hurt you, but yes, you better cancel that "Yet another Sierra Remake".  In Doom you have to pick up keys, so it can be considered an adventure, maybe you can convert it to "Yet another Doom remake".

This was another advise by: Lies based on numbers (TM)

According to that, cleaning my room would be an adventure. However, it really isn't. Really.

Cleaning my room would be an epic adventure, but not a game.

Things excluded from the concept of game:
- Things that mom tells you to do
- Picking up random objects in the supermarket.

That's all because the majority of the population sends out negative Thetawaves when thinking of adventure games (and who doesn't all the day!), which makes you receive negatives feelings when playing adventure games. The inverse thing (positive Thetawaves) happens with shooters, which is why they have these inexplicable numbers of fans.

True, I don't enjoy killing aliens with my Tin-foil-hat (tm) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tin-foil_hat) on.

Exactly  ;D

But try playing an adventure while wearing it, it's a completly different experience  :=

Indeed Tartalo, nobody likes Adventure Games...

We should demantle all this community, close the page, and close the forums.

First step. Leave this forums... We will follow after you, I promise.

Well, of course we don't. This is the forum for the Application to Generate Shoot'em'ups, after all. We just love such classics as King's Shoot, Space Shoot, Leisure Suit Shooter, and Day of the Shotgun.

Police Gun and Nuke Island 1 & 2 were pretty good too.
Oh, and that 5 Days A Strangler was such a kick.

Sam and Max: Hit The Road.  The main characters are emo, so they smack the road with any body part.

Nobody likes adventure games  Pah dont make me laugh, 3700 people plus wouldnt say that oh yeah have you tried making one
My bet says that you havent ... Which leaves you with no ambition
or
If you did try you didnt get very far and gave up...  Which leaves you with no ambition

So which one was it Tart any of them or were you having a bad day when you stumbled upon this site
Anyway stop grumbling and if you dont like adventure games find somewhere else to obsess about keys.

Heh, for every key, there is a lock. That's the whole thing about it. And every day is an adventure. ^_^

According to wikipedia, adventure isn't even considered as a genre for video games :'(

We are just a couple of nerds in a cult which worships people who are not real... And all they do is just pick up keys and stuff all day...

EVERYONE WAKE UP!!eleven!1

Yeah but Jesus didn't pick up any keys, and look how long his cult lasted.

No, wait.




Damn.

Shit! I forgot my <joking> tags!
Now I am serious, check my signature, do you think I would do that if I didn't like adventure games? Have a bit of sense of humor please.

Disagree : cults duration ARE proportional to the gameplay.

That's old thinking!
Modern doors are destructible. And you have a gravity gun.

And you can always order your teammates to breach, bang and clear!

Yeah, why waste time searching for a key, when you can blast the whole house to hell in a matter of seconds?
