Personally, I can't play anything after VI. Even VII rubs me the wrong way.
*Puts on anti-flame suit* :nervous:
Tyrian:
I bought V and VI as part of a collectors' edition thing. The save feature was bugged. Hence they were returned, post-haste. I still want to play them though. :(
Sarafan:
*Hits TheSleeve with multiple beam cannons (BFReds, something that totally ignores the anti-flame suit he's using).*
Yeah, that's got to hurt. :P

I dislike the lot of them. The storylines are dull at best, and without that they have nothing except some pretty pictures. I like Tactics though.

--- Quote ---3) I've also noticed a disturbing lack of "feeling" in games, i mean something that looks like a lot of care and attention was put into it, to make it stand apart from the crowd, you guys know what i mean, don't you?.. it's what made many of the older lucasarts adventures stand out in a sea of interactive fictions, it's what made grim fandango stand out, what made the fallout games stand out that special something that will make you one day, after a long while, take the case out of your collection, blow the dust off it, install it, and play it, and smile at the memories that it brought to you.
The prospect of the new Sam & Max game is a hopeful one, but i wonder how much of its charm will survive when it finally comes out.

I agree for the most part, but there are still a handful of exceptions if you look around a bit. Chronicles of Riddick and Splinter Cell Chaos Theory (the latter mainly just for its level design) fit that criteria well IMO.
That being said though, I definitely wish we had more adventure games of any kind. Almost all the adventure games I have played have been memorable in some way.
One other trend I'm not too happy about is how multiplayer FPSs have in general become quite slow paced, often due to a supposed emphasis on "realism." I'm hoping UT2007 will change this.
