this one was such a disappointment
it's full of these need to collect items before you know you will need them puzzles
and often well hidden with pixel hunting
What about the X Files FMV game?
I had fun with it, though maybe they could have made better use of some of the mechanics. Lots of funny stuff you can do with the characters. It does play like an episode of the show, which was the intent. Janky even by the standards of the day for sure, but it’s obvious that they put a lot of work into it.
They were busy filming the movie at the time, so what they did is set up the plot by saying that they go missing following up on alienshit in Seattle (sometime in Season 3) and Skinner flies out and the player has to go find them. It does actually work pretty well. You can piss off Skinner early on if you keep asking him over and over if Scully and Mulder are fricking lol.
I was looking up to see how to get the game running on my Deck since I’m rewatching the series right now and some guy on Reddit said that he was talking about it with one of the The Lone Gunmen actors at a con or something and apparently, there had been an idea to bring in the characters from the game as recurring characters on the show, but it didn’t pan out. Presumably because the game took a long time to make and series was already starting to die and Duchovny already had one foot out the door by the time the game actually came out.
Does X Files get better in later seasons or is it just the same formulaic plots with a rare good twist and breadcrumb status quo progression with season premieres/finales?
I enjoyed it at first, but it quickly started to feel like one of those shows where things don't actually happen.
I'd take it if they didn't give away the entire plot of every other episode 3 minutes in. Genuinely what's the appeal episodically once you've seen enough to know the rules like "paranormal thing/person always gets away in the end" and "sympathetic victims/paranormal people almost certainly die"?
The "UFO plotline" in The X Files fricking sucks. Its the sort of show you watch for the one offs. Oh and it gets even worse as the show goes on. Watch shit like The Host, War of the Coprophages and Squeeze, those are the episodes which carry the franchise.
That I'll do. They're few and far between, but the good eps were really good.
the alien shit is only good up to fight the future and two fathers/one one, its bad after that. the show in general steadily drops when they moved production to california. the series finale and what really happened to mulder's sister is beyond moronic, better off to just invent your own headcanon.
>the series finale and what really happened to mulder's sister is beyond moronic, better off to just invent your own headcanon.
Really? That was my one enduring investment.

Oh and to add on to this, Squeeze is a "two part" episode which is concluded in an episode called "Tooms" which is also really great, and you should watch "Humbug" too. There's one other episode (I think its called Firewalker) which is like prototype-The Last of Us involving fungi which survive in a volcanic area and use humans to reproduce, that was cool too.

AH FRICK ME I FORGOT THIS ONE TOO
"Darkness Falls" is about little bugs which hibernated for hundreds of years in the growth rings of trees and attack people but are scared of light. "Detour" is about Native Americans who can turn invisible. Also there's one about a Haitian voodoo guy in a prison.

isn't it a point and click 200 hour narrative adventure game without combat? there is a very small audience for this type of game and I honestly don't think I could get into it.
The original two are amazing, I've dropped the third trash one and I'm looking for motivation to come back to it and finishing the series with fourth one.
You're mistaking it for Longest Journey, which has a single with combat and it was fricking awful
>there is a very small audience for this type of game
syberia is a popular series and it sold millions >Syberia was a commercial and has sold over 3 million units worldwide
for reference AC6 sold only 2.8 and bloodborne sold 2 million in its first year
I have played it, once as a kid and 2 years ago again as an adult. It had a nice world, but you can really tell that the writers kind of dropped the ball once you get to the soviet rocket place. It felt like filler.
Started off strong, got more meh as it dragged on.
I did, but then I had to look up the answer to a puzzle. And then I decided the game wasn't fun of it was hard to the point where I had to look shit up, so I dropped it.
I've played the first 2 once on ps2, once on ps3 and the third once. I think there's a fourth one which I'm considering on getting, but 3 wasn't really all that interesting so I'm not terribly interested in the new one either.
Sokal made pretty games with what they had available to them at the time.
It's sort of sad with all these ULTRA HIGH-DEFINITION GRAFIX we have nowadays we have less soulful artistry going in to them than ever.
>less soulful artistry going in to them than ever.
I bought an og xbox and started playing stuff on there and that made me start revisiting old pc games as well
I've all but stopped playing anything released in the last decade at this point
thank god there's a catalog long enough that I probably won't ever need to get with the times again
don't feel too bad, I considered buying a handy just to use it on that one jinx blowjob video because it came with a .funscript I still consider buying one every time I wank to it
Never played it, but in 2012 I saw Sokal at a comic fest giving an interview and later made a report about it for a blog. This was my only venture in gaming journalism in my life.
If you guys like Point & Click adventure games pic related came out a few months ago and is asbolute kino. Great characters/voice acting, original interesting story, and great game mechanics/puzzles.
I beat it and then got like 30 minutes into Syberia 2 before giving up, that shit started with running back and forth across the same ten screens like four times to talk to npcs at either end and I just didn't care enough about the characters for the fifth runback.
it's in my backlog 😉
>Nobody on Ganker has played a game
fixed
I did.
However, NO ONE has played this
That looks cool.
I played Syberia like 20 years ago. I liked it at the time but I’m not sure I would any more. I don’t it remember it that well.
I'm going to just keep posting adventure games you people have never played
Gonna have to try harder than that.

>you don't even play as Mulder and Scully
It's been decades and I still can't muster a frick to play it solely because of this.

Come on now.

Actually it kind of just dies because David Duchovny and later Gillian Andersen just left and the show obviously didn’t work without them.

It’s nowhere near that long.

>a point and click 200 hour narrative adventure game without combat?
I can tell you haven't touched a point and click game in your life
I played myst, it was ok
the world was interesting but it was really boring
Umineko is 200 hrs. It’s a VN
Longest P/C is Longest Journey which is also the best one

This was on xbox btw. I never bought it because it looked cringe.

I'm glad The World Before was actually solid despite making Kate gay, it would've been depressing for the creator to die and the game was as shit as 3
I did, but then I had to look up the answer to a puzzle. And then I decided the game wasn't fun of it was hard to the point where I had to look shit up, so I dropped it.
I haven't come back to it after arriving to an area after university

I have, I love point and click adventure games.
I did, it's probably my favourite adventure game of all time.
holy based
I recently started this on my Xbox
very cozy game for the season
What the frick were they thinking with 3? Who was it even made for?
Nobody has played this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACVZ5b8wW14

I tried it back in the day when it was in the local magazine for review.
Got filtered in the train.
I'm firmly convinced nobody on Ganker has actually played and finished this classic PSX game.
Never played it, but in 2012 I saw Sokal at a comic fest giving an interview and later made a report about it for a blog. This was my only venture in gaming journalism in my life.

this game looks amazing. thanks for letting me know.
I have it in my library. Should I play it?
It's bad.
I beat it and then got like 30 minutes into Syberia 2 before giving up, that shit started with running back and forth across the same ten screens like four times to talk to npcs at either end and I just didn't care enough about the characters for the fifth runback.
Have Syberia 1 and 2 on my PS3. Still haven’t gotten around to really playing them.
How come everyone has this shovelware in ther steam library
im part way through the second game now.
what precisely goes wrong with the third game?
