zoomers small brain

good point

They call them walking simulators now
Except for remedy/sam lake... He still doesn't realise you can make games without shooting mechanics.

>every game where I don't shoot or stab things is a walking simulator
why are people so stupid?

they exist still they're just indie by necessity because the market isn't big enough for AAA production values

The genre stagnated and died because of it. There basically isnt any way to improve on the way the games are played without changing them to the point where they arent adventure games anymore. Also because a majority of them were fucking bullshit with nonsensical puzzles that had incredibly vague answers.

>I-it's all z-zoomies.
>We pretend that Nintendo's and EA's focus on the casual gamer didn't bring in a bunch of smooth brains from three generations.
Now people are so casual, they'd rather watch people play games than play games. They also tip.

What are you talking about? There's been a bunch of Myst style games that have come out recently.

It's because myst is legit shit and tainted the genre

The Wii had some decent adventure games on it, though

you are a retard

Name 1(one)

>n-no you

most adventure/puzzle games

Where the Water Tastes like Wine
was pretty adventure again, even though theres hardly much game. Just clicking dialogue.

Does anyone know the name of that series of flash point-and-click games about a weird family/cult?

Big-budgeted ones sure are dead, but since Adventure Gamers still keep updating their site it's still pretty much alive I guess

i dont want to play myst/riven etc because everyone talks about how fucking ridiculous the puzzles are (and i dont like puzzles) but i really like the aesthetics of those games are so fucking gorgeous

>Can't even name ((one)).

what, a puzzle game?
2048

Now THIS is retardation.

ah, summer time....

>mentioning a browser weblet seppuku game as a counterargument in a thread about adventure puzzle games

>start playing myst
>end up in an endless fucking maze where im in a vehicle thing and have 8 directions to go at every stop
this "game" is fucking dumb

Point&Click Adventures are literally better than ever and very healthy.
There is new and good stuff releasing every few months.

They sucked.

that wasn't the point of that post though, was it? read it again

If I reply to you talking about gay porn, that doesn't suddenly become the topic of discussion just because I will it so. You replied to someone talking about the adventure genre. Read it again

Can't hurt to try it. Even if you have to check a hint guide on occasion it's better than not playing them at all. And I don't think Myst games are ever as ridiculous and obtuse as what you get in a Sierra adventure game, or even some of the LucasArts stuff

Play Outer Wilds.

Catering to the lowest common denominator.

Why bother crafting an unique, well-thought single-player piece when you can shit out yet another f2p skinner box multiplayer abomination that will net you millions?

>Even if you have to check a hint guide on occasion
nah i just dont like puzzles where i have to sit and think about them at all

every time i see one in a game i go straight to googling the answer before i even try it

just hate puzzles

in the future properly read posts and respond to them accordingly, dummy. you responded with "Name one" to a post saying that people call anything that isn't about stabbing/shooting people "walking simulators", as if there were no exceptions and every game without stabbing/shooting was a walking sim.

>that
>videogame
yeah, nah

1000% this. Gets the exploration+puzzle twin format perfect. Now I just there were more games like it.

>you
>implying
You're now taking both the samefag and rubber/glue defense. You have lost. Oh, but I forgot this conversation is about gay porn now. What are your thoughts on docking?

adventure games were dying before most zoomers were even born

>i-it wasn't me
lmao get the fuck out of here kid
