tomimt, I wouldn’t put you in my “Top 100 AdventureGamers users that don’t talk s***” either. 

Actually, I’m doubtful if I could even find 10.  Pan

Fair list, hard to argue with that top 3.

thejobloshow - 24 October 2014 08:52 PM


I feel the list does a disservice to new adventure games. There’s no way I agree with 23 or 11 being listed alongside the greatest titles in the history of the genre. Where did Papers, Please go? That was only last year and has already proven itself to be a classic. Kentucky Route Zero, Resonance, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter…. This website took a crazy risk by listing Portal 2 in its top ten greatest adventure games of all time. I would like to have seen more calculated choices like that for recent releases.

Between Gone Home, Walking Dead, Blackwell series, To the Moon I think there is a fair representation of newer games. KRZ is not finished yet, it will probably be there when it is.

Because most of the time I don’t even have a clue what you’re talking about.

yea yea..

—————-

how do you consider a game that is behind ( a sub genre called ag-Myst-like) 100s of ags which are based on it, out off of the top 100.
if I don’t make enough sense for you then I don’t know what can you call this (told by you).

Gee Advie, people ignore my posts all the time. If I cared about that, I wouldn’t have a life.

It does bug me sometimes when I put a lot of time and effort in my post.

I think it’s a pretty decent list - there’s a lot of great games up here, definitely a few I would have put on that didn’t make it, but for one guy’s list of 25 great adventure games, it’s not bad at all.

Lists are definitely subjective, and not everyone has the same taste - lists are mostly good for either getting some ideas of what you should choose to play in the future if you have not played them, or inciting riotous debate!

I was all ready to get outraged at this list, but then I saw who wrote it, and now I can only shake my head and quietly laugh to myself.

What’s wrong with it other than your dislike for the author? That’s through and through pretty solid list.

Heh…nothing.  Smile  The only thing that really annoys me about it is something that annoys me whenever ANYONE makes a list like this—and that’s the absolute declarative nature of the title.  THE Top 25 Adventure Games—I wish they’d just say MY Top 25 Adventure Games—it’d feel much less snotty that way.

Richard Cobbett has been a Myst-hater ever since it was first released.
It’s no surprise you don’t find anything resembling Myst on his list.
His list is mostly good games, though my personal top 25 would contain some “Myst-types” (Obsidian, Riven, Schizm…) and I’d have a hard time putting them in any sort of “order.”

Myst and Last express were gamechangers, they gave AG genre a new voice.

Had far reaching impact.

Not just TV series, there are many Directors and Actors
who played Myst and take it as serious form of gaming.

Last express was mechanically, way ahead of its time.

Sometimes somethings need credit and putting games like these below

Well.

Well.

But why would that matter if you do not like the game? It’s not a list of the most influential games, it’s what the author thinks are the best games. There’s a big difference there.

All I want from a “Top ___” list is for the listmaker to seem reasonably well-versed in the subject he or she is covering, to suggest some things that I haven’t read/seen/played/thought about, and to have interesting opinions that sometimes help add to the understanding of why something is so widely beloved and sometimes buck assumptions about other things that maybe not everyone loves as much or as little as the listmaker does.

And, ideally, the list should inspire a fun discussion.

This particular list seems totally fine to me, by those admittedly lenient standards. Smile

Well, that is probably down to PC Gamer and the general culture of listmaking more than it is down to Richard Cobbett. There’s something about “The Top ____” that makes many listmakers tend to favor it as a headline over “My Top ____” or “Our magazine staff’s Top ____” or “The results of our poll for the Top ____.” Grin

World is full of gamechangers I wouldn’t put on my top lists. When it comes down to it the only thing I really care is if I like it or not.

I do acknowledge their impact, but that doesn’t mean I have to like them.
