Message: [QUOTE="Gorse, post: 16992, member: 73"] Japanese developers need to knock it off with the Devil May Cry/Bayonetta/Astral Chain-style “character action” games already… they’re that country’s equivalent to our generic FPS slop. I know they’re popular with Americans, which is why they keep making them, but I’ve never been able to get anything out of these games aside from meaningless button-mashing. It’s even a thing in Sonic, now! Let’s start moving past that, lads. As for what they [I]shooouuuuld [/I]make, I’d really love to see point and click adventure games make a huge comeback, on both sides of the Pacific. Games like Garage: Bad Dream Adventure, Gadget: Past as Future, and Dogday really show how a slow-paced virtual world can build a deep, rich sense of atmosphere and character without the need for an RPG or shooter interface. I know that this genre has always been maligned, even when it was current, but c’mon, fellas — we have better tools, now! Adventure games are like snuggling in with a good book, and I like games that give me a sensation like that. [/QUOTE]
