Monkey Island Day of the Tentacle Sam and Max Hit the Road Discworld .... I miss them .

Amanda Join a Fellowship... Hi there :) Posts: 1,739 Hogwarts House: Hufflepuff Who is YOUR Doctor?: 9 (Christopher Eccleston 05) Current F1 Driver?: Jenson Button	Point and Click games May 7, 2013 12:21:19 GMT Post by Amanda on May 7, 2013 12:21:19 GMT You know I really do feel like game companies know that shooting games and action games sell well so have totally flooded the market not only with that genre but with the same old games we've seen before. I liked Bioshock 1 and 2 but Bioshock Infinite has nothing to do with the original Bioshock games from what I know, it just has the same basic core and a totally different story set in a totally different setting. But Bioshock 1 and 2 were so popular that they would be stupid NOT to bring out a third one of some kind. I haven't played Infinite yet but I'm sure I'll like it but it is a space on my shelf that someone could have come out and done something DIFFERENT but went for the money. Which is fair enough, SEGA stopped making consoles because their consoles didn't make money, would we really want to lose good game companies because they lose money? Thing I see is the WII tried to bring out some wonderful different games, retro games redone for a modern era, but because people saw it more as a novelty then a true games console some of those games couldn't make the leap onto other platforms. I voted yes not purely because I'd like to see a proper return for click and points but just of different games in general. It is the same with cartoons, now animation has had a big step up into CGI and all that hand drawn and claymation (or whatever it is called) is seen as too long and probably too expensive or something to do so you only ever get CGI movies like Wreck-it Ralph.

I totally agree with the Wii they tried something different and a lot of those types of games flopped or people didn't take it seriously, though I think that was because of the difficulty to play some of the games that weren't party games with the main controllers, you basically had to go out and buy a proper controller for it for some of the games to work, ok not all of them I played FF on there quite easily but others I just couldn't get the bloody controls to work proper! I guess I just want some light hearted games that are enthralling like Broken Sword, now that is a brilliant game and the first one has been adapted onto nearly all consoles out at the moment! Why, instead of remastering the first game, can't they make a new one?! Your last point really hits home something I've hated about Monkey Island, I was grateful they tried to bring it back and all recently but they did so much to make it 3D like the last full game that some of the wit, adventure and fun was lost. It was so buggy because they wanted it to look... Well I'd say realistic but it doesn't look realistic just clumpy. Do it like Curse and bring us another fun romp!

Exactly how I feel. We need a return to all sorts of games. To be honest DS and Wii do a good job with different types of game and if you look hard enough you can find some still for PS3 or Xbox but they are far and few between. I always loved Maniac Mansion now that was a fun game, specially Day of the Tentacles. I don't find much fun with some of these games, yeah they have half decent stories most of them but I would like something more puzzle based and story orientated. Something big and grand. I say let Anna make her Discworld game and the whole world will rejoice.
