Attention "Filter" Viewers: Shut Up. You Don't Know Anything

[SamNMax]

If you happened to catch G4TV's "Filter"'s top ten adventure game episode. You'd know that it was enough to make you dennounce adventure gaming for life. Not only was the list a mess, but the people they interviewed in local EB Games stores made my blood boil. They obviously had never played an adventure and considered games like Grand Theft Auto adventures. I mean, one guy actually had the audacity to call Metal Gear Ac!d an adventure. Not only that, but none of them had anything to say about the pure adventures.

Here's the list. The extra stupid are highlighted in red:

10) Full Throttle
9) The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy
8) The 7th Guest
7) Syberia
6) Myst
5) Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Loung Lizards
4) Escape from Monkey Island
3) Grim Fandango
2) Ico
1) Sam & Max Hit the Road

Escape from Monkey Island? Ico? Both good games, but on an adventure list? I couldn't see straight when I saw that Monkey Island 4 made the list and not any of the prequals. The thing is, none of the professional reviewers and editors they interview realized that Monkey Island was a series. And Ico. Now, I think you could pretty much call it an adventure game, but the number two best adventure of all time? Far from it.

I'm going to do something less painful, like chop my dick off with a cheese grater.

This came up last week (http://forums.adventuregamers.com/showthread.php?t=7653). And I have to agree with you on the rankings. :rolleyes:

Oh, and STEP AWAY FROM THE CHEESE GRATER!

Yeah but it could easily be worse.

Yes, as such , there are almost all adventure games. Lucky us. :frusty:

I can't believe 7th guest made the list...

I can't believe 7th guest made the list...Yes, and any list that doesn't have Space Quest, isn't a list at all.

Ah, I see, we here are the only people that are able to tell what's a good adventure and what's a bad one.

Obviously, we're better at it than the guys of G4whatever.

EDIT: If a TV made a list of the 10 best FPS of all-time with Daikatana in it, I wouldn't even need to get more info about the game to tell you that it's bullshit.

Well, it's miles better in every aspect than Myst (except acting), and a revolutionary game in its own. I understand it is there.

[RLacey]

Well, it's miles better in every aspect than Myst Not difficult :shifty:...

And many of their puzzles are among the most fun in videogames (I can think about Fool's Errand, Ripper, Black Dahlia, Safecracker and no other game with the same enjoyable pure puzzles). And you knew exactly where you were.

I love that game, you know.
