[QUOTE="SaintsFan_Webby, post: 28473"] [b][/b] Yeah, Point and Click games are dead. But they don't have the sole monopoly on being adventure games. Hell, I remember when we had a Finnish guy staying with us, an hardcore rpg player, and he'd complain whenever I'd refer to Final Fantasy 7 as an rpg. He was dead certain that it was an adventure (his definition of rpg was in the vein of Ultima). If you want examples of adventure game, then look no further than Resident Evil/any of the survival horror games; they're all adventure. Look at the Metal Gear Solids; they're adventure. Look at Myst/Riven/whatever version, and the Journeyman Project; again adventure games. And finally, the old point 'n clicks like Monkey Island, like Full Throttle, like Day of the Tentacle, like Beneath a Steel Sky, (and the game I first played 13 years ago) Loom; and similar types of games that didn't use the mouse like Spacequest, like Leisure Suit Larry, like Police Quest, like Goldrush. But lets not forget Zelda : OoT, because that's adventure aswell. You're not trying to tell me that only Point and Clicks are adventure games now are you? Oh yeah, MMORPGs aren't the be-all end-all for RPGs. Fallout was a fantastic game. PS. Before you mention it, I know that Grim Fandango wasn't point and click, but went 3d. [/b][/quote] Survival Horror games are just that - Survival Horror games. MGS is stealth, not adventure. Final Fantasy games are RPGs despite what one hardcore fan thinks. Myst sucks arse, it's a glorified tech demo. Zelda is the only good adventure franchise on consoles, other than that the PC owns the genre completely. [/QUOTE]
