On the other hand, I, sir, resent your attempt to paint those who like adventure games as equivalent to those that like System Shock 2, as that would be to question the quality of both The Longest Journey and the Monkey Island series. Which, of course, must not be done, as they R00LED and such.


The Longest Journey and Monkey Island might be the Lex Lugar's Torture Rack that has everyone cheering in anticipation of a victory, but the King's Quest series is both Arn Anderson hitting him in the back of a knee with a chair while the ref has his head turned AND Ric Flair following that up with the Figure-Four leglock to silence the crowd. So on the whole, adventure games will always suck.

I have no idea what you're on about. And I'm very proud of that.

Adventure games are like people- suck in groups, but individuals are good. If you say "all adventure games suck" or even "all Sierra adventure games suck", then you run into the problem of dismissing Quest for Glory and Manhunter, which would be fucking stupid. (Also, arguably, Codename: Iceman, most of the Space Quest games and the "Conquest" games.)

I mean, fuck, if you go by the quality of the majority of the genre both FPSes and RTSes are unmitigated worthless shit. And that's all we've got nowadays, outside of a few crappy RPGs and the massive multi treadmills.
