No new postsAdventure Game Scene of the Day - Saturday, 19 December
There’s a bit of an “irony” in today’s AGSOTD - after the year 2000, when publishers started investing large amount of money into AAA console games, you could often read how that’s one of the main reasons for the “deteriorating” adventure genre, and the infamous “death” of adventure games (“Are “Are Adventure games dead” threads dead?,” anyone? 
). And now, at the Deutscher Entwicklerpreis annual game awards in Köln, The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 wins the “Best console game” award! 
(but I guess that’s still Germany...)

Second time you’ve revived that thread.
Can’t remember everything, so I had to log in to see how I voted: “Ouch”
BTW, that’s an impressive X-mas outfit, Mr Z.

“Voters: 43. You have already voted on this poll”. How do you see what did you vote for?

Wow Germany lives in a completely different dimension(in a good way), where reviewers look at adventure games beyond Telltale and Quantic Dream. In a lot of American outlets (like ign for example), TBOUT2 wasn’t even reviewed, let alone nominated for anything.
EDIT: I noticed all the winners were from German companies, so makes sense why other AAA games on consoles in different genres didn’t get mentioned. Not that many German studios working on console games.

Your vote is in italic once you’re logged in.

Well spotted. I forgot about that.
Edit: I beat Adventurerere by 10 minutes.
that’s an impressive X-mas outfit, Mr Z.
Thank you, I got it courtesy of the ATP.
This one works for me.
Gracias.
De nada, muchacho!
P.S. (in a strong Mexican accent) I kill people for money, but you are my friend - I’ll kill you for nothing.

Saw a boxed version of this for PS4 in CEX, didn’t even know such things existed!
He gave me a cold, shocked stare as if I’d farted at a funeral.
No, wait, they’re not dead (Adventure Games).
Still seems right.

Maybe this time I can be strong, but since I know who I am, I’m probably wrong. Maybe this time I can go far, but thinking about where I’ve been ain’t helping me start. - Michael Kiwanuka
