I'll counter with OMM's seminal article, Death of Adventure Games. Old Man Murray's site and article is still up 24 years later - legends of gaming journalism. They sum up the state of adventure games pretty well.
That was fairly funny actually. I've had plenty of frustrations like that over the years.
But adventure games are awesome and there are lots of good ones that have less of those problems.@FezMonkey: Yeah, I feel ya. The rubber chicken with the pulley in the middle. The insanity of Day of the Tentacle. Sam and Max's trial-and-error inventory item interactions. The hundreds of deaths I experienced in Kings Quest lost in desert until Open Sesame.
It's amazing what we used to put up with in the name of pretty adventure games. XD
@yak: I'm still salty about the puzzles at the end of Hugo's Horrific Adventure.
1. You have to run away from the mummy and get him stuck on a rock, and he's twice as fast as you. Messed up? Instant game over.
2. You need to answer trivia questions about The Hobbit book.
3. You need to know what tf a rubber bung is and that it can plug a hole in a boat.
I haven't read this for twenty years the description of the absurd logic in Gabriel Knight rings true even now. One of the old man Murray dudes used to write a really good top ten games of the year that was fantastic.
Easier to just block marketing @ gog or whatever the email is
God's work.
You do not add and forget point and click adventure games. You play them! For they are glorious!
