Dreamfall blows

Recommended Posts

Lets admit it. Syberia 1 and 2 both sucked. And while the backgrund story is kind of unique, the way the games are played and presented are boring as hell. Terrible voice acting, shite story and script and boring-ass puzzles. Dreamfall, the newest of these still-born adventures, looks like more of the same; a dedicated art team putting their all into a game that features a female-deteive lead who's "her own woman". :fart:

Where the fuck are the Mexican-Skeleton caliber ideas?! Why the fuck was Sam and Max cancelled!? Why are we leaving the future of adventure games to people who live in British Columbia? I need answers!

Since your shitty car has wheels all cars with wheels are crap. That is pretty much what you said.

Yep. manny, your grievance is pretty much a product of personal preference. It would be so unfair if you had your wish and I was never able to enjoy more games like Syberia and The Longest Journey. I do absolutely love Grim Fandango and am still upset about Sam & Max: Freelance Police being cancelled, but let's be real here. There is room for every kind of game under the sun. Why fuck it up for everyone by only cranking out clones of Grim and S&M?

So... your argument is that because you hated Syberia, dreamfall is no good? You do realize that Dreamfall is by an ENTIRELY different company, right? and that not a single person from Syberia is a part of Dreamfall? That Dreamfall is realtime 3d instead of using prerendered backgrounds?

In short, do you actually know anything at all?

Do you even KNOW anything about Dreamfall other than it's an adventure game? Go play The Longest Journey and (after you publicly apologize for bitching about Ragnar's masterpiece series) assume the inevitable position of waiting for Dreamfall with baited breath.

A whole bunch of us from Thumbs have seen the preview of Dreamfall here at E3 and we're all drooling over it. Seriously, don't comment on games that you don't know anything about.

If you want Mexican skeletons and S&M, why not go and play Grim Fandango and S&M instead of spreading your whining everywhere?

Just admit it! Not an original bone in its whole body! It may be fundementally sound, it might have wheels, but I want a fucking hover-car damn it. I was only comparing Syberia to DF because of the stories and situation, LJ is much better than Syberia, but its no prize pig.

I know I'll cave and buy it, because I'm starved for adventure games, but something not based in a rustic eatern-eurpoean town during winter would be nice.

:ratchet:

If you knew anything about TLG, you'd know that there's one modern world and one technological world. So the "rustic eastern-european town during winter" shit doesn't hold up. Find a new argument.

So that probably means you haven't played TLG at all. Perhaps you should give it a try instead of bitching at it on forums. Not sure how you can even judge the game like you do before actually playing it. All we've seen is a few screenshots. Jeeze.

Hmmm... is manny_c44 really manny_c44? I'm surprised deadworm hasn't come out with the latest conspiracy theory yet.

What's this 'TLG'? It sounds interesting. Sort of like 'TLJ'.

Have you ever played Longest Journey ? While being sober, I mean...

Well I'm basing my info on the sequel entirely on E3 screenshots, so really my argument holds no merit, its just speculation. But I digress, it might be great, who knows.

On an entirely different subject, when I was reading that bit about 'Out of this World' on GBA, or whatever they call it in Europe, something hit me about the nintendo DS.

Stylus and Touch screen

Flash Memory Cards for Games

Plenty of Hardware ability

This seems like it will be a great platform for a special edition of ScummVM, one that uses the touch screen for the action and the top screen for the inventory. This is seems like the obvious next step for ScummVM in my opinon.

Hoho! (Best)

On a note slightly related to the entirely unrelated note in the post above, if you look at the ScummVM page you'll see they were working on Another World support - for a while, until they took it out. Mmm, tasty.

I thought it was The Longest Gurney. Set in a futuristic hospital in a city where all the people are descendants of nano-experimented humans engineered to be extremely tall, and the game's only resolution setting is 50369x724.

I did think that this was a doppelganger person the first time I saw this. But for some reason I didn't react.

I'm currently playing through the Longest journey, it's pretty good.

Hey, so am I! I bought it recently. I already wanted to buy it a few years back, but they only have Dutch versions here, while I prefer English dialogue.
