I played the first episode of the Strong Bad game, and that was mildly entertaining, as Homestar Runner usually is.

Speaking of good adventure games, if Another Code R doesn't come out in the US (and it IS being english-ified for Europe, mind you), I'm going straight to Reggie's house and giving him a stern lecture. In the face. With my fist.

Oh yeah, I keep meaning to play the episodic Sam and Max stuff. The voices throw me since I'm so used to and in love with the voices from the cartoon.

Rico · « **Reply #1683 on:** March 22, 2009, 08:27:45 PM »

The Sam and Max game voice acting is still very good; an episode or two and you ought to be accustomed to it.

There is a demo on Steam of an adventure game called "Ceville" but I have no idea if it is any good.

Misha · « **Reply #1685 on:** March 22, 2009, 09:18:14 PM »

I've played the demo and was entirely unimpressed. puzzles were meh and characters were dull. basically what makes a good adventure game to me is I can be entertained by just having the character look at and comment on everything and that wasn't the case here.

Fortinbras · « **Reply #1686 on:** March 22, 2009, 09:32:51 PM »

Dreth's right on the money there. Puzzles and too-complicated plots are fab, but more than just about any other type of game adventure games are made for me by oozing quality from every bit of environment and atmosphere and writing. Not easy to do, I guess.

Yeah, I gotta play episodic Sam & Max.

Aren't Telltale supposed to start releasing episodes of Wallace & Gromit soon?

Rico · « **Reply #1688 on:** March 22, 2009, 10:21:57 PM »

March 24th. There's a 25% off + a Sam and Max episode and a Strongbad episode for free for the next day or two which is a pretty damn good deal.

GTA:Chinatown Wars is most of the good stuff of all of the previous games (including 1 and 2), with most of the bullshit people complain about removed.

MAN Henry Hatsworth is hard later one.

Also echoing Dooly's comment RE: Chinatown Wards. It's way, way better than any of the games released to date, and you will agree with me the second you realize how you can remove your wanted stars. Who knew dealing drugs could be so fun?

So it doesn't have any race/CHASE THIS FUCKER THAT IS DRIVING A GODDAMN ROCKET CAR missions?

Dooly · « **Reply #1693 on:** March 23, 2009, 07:51:20 AM »

The only racelike story mission I've seen involved smashing the competitors of the mission giver (who's slow as fuck) so he could win.

Pacobird · « **Reply #1694 on:** March 24, 2009, 03:58:29 PM »

I am playing Dark Wizard.

It is very good.

You should play it, too.

Cthulhu-chan · « **Reply #1695 on:** March 25, 2009, 06:20:21 AM »

Playin me some PSO fuck yeah.

Avalon Code is crazy yo

also the new VP game for DS is kinda mediocre on the one hand but you kill your teammates for the pleasure of Hel on the other so i dunno what i think about it overall

I've been watching some Silent Hill let's plays, or rather, mostly listening to Silent Hill let's plays while I draw. I understand what all the fuss is about now, there's some really compelling stuff in there. On the other hand, it looks like these games play like ass. Man I'm glad the Internet is there to show me the good sides; if I had tried myself I think I would have quit on account of the mechanics before quitting on account of the horror.

Said horror is not as bad as I was expecting; the critters aren't as bad as environments and the, uh, the music. Those decaying walls, yeesh. I don't know why that feels so awful to me. That said, I've dreamed of much worse; it's like I'm so full of nightmare fuel that anything I could pour on top just kind of overflows. (DON'T TAKE THIS AS A CHALLENGE I'M SERIOUS

)

I'm beginning to eye my long-unplayed copy of Eternal Darkness. I'm pretty sure I've spoiled all the jump scares for myself already so I should enjoy it after all, for certain values of "enjoy". That psychological stuff utterly fascinates me.

Can we have a Let's Play thread with links to top-notch Let's Plays that don't have some mouth breather telling me what he's doing as I watch him do it in a visual medium?

To contribute, I love the first Clock Tower immensely despite never playing it.

Alex · « **Reply #1699 on:** March 25, 2009, 11:01:40 PM »

I can't put my finger on it, but something about Let's Plays bother me. Maybe it's the frequency in which irritating folks on IRC like to link to the ones with the mouth-breathers explaining shit as they go.

But man, something about watching a game be played irks me on some deeper level.

Clock Tower 1 was pretty boss and great nightmare fuel for when you're younger. It reminds me of when I first played Resident Evil 1 waaaaaaaaay back when I was 11. I played for all of ten minutes before I got too freaked out despite never running into a single zombies.

Then I repeated the exercise a few years later with Silent Hill 2.
