As for me, Sierra games are the libs, and Lucasarts are the tanks. As in, Sierra games suck, Lucasarst games are potentially good!

Sierra games suck

I will not listen to this Pharaoh slander

[-] Salmarez@hexbear.net 0 points 1 year ago

OK, that is not a Sierra adventure game!

[-] Leon_Grotsky@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

Fair enough, I didn't see adventure games

you win this round * shakes fist *

[-] DickFuckarelli@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

LucasArts and it's not even close.

[-] Crowtee_Robot@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, Monkey Island, Maniac Mansion 2: Day of the Tentacle, Sam & Max Hit the Road...all Lucasarts gold.

They really figured out a good way to use the format to tell interesting stories and have fun puzzles involved. Full Throttle and Grim Fandango are also worth mentioning from the later years.

LucasArts because they don't require you to manically savescum to avoid getting softlocked

[-] pooh@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

Lucas Arts is my personal favorite, though a lot of Sierra games are decent too.

[-] daedramachine@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

Idk just remember small parts of Gobliiins right now.

[-] FuckYourselfEndless@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

Haven't played either. Which one has the less-bullshit puzzles?

[-] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

Sierra games are infamous for the player being able to accidentally softlock themselves, often due to things they could in no way see coming. LucasArts, not so much.

There's an entire tvtropes page called "guide dang it" and about half of it is Sierra's bullshit that was totally unavoidable unless you played through it repeatedly or soemhow got hold of a tutorial in 1993.

George Lucas makes a good video game.

King's Quest III has a twisty mountain path that you have to walk up with shitty unresponsive controls and twitchy hitboxes for the tiles that cause you to fall to your death, and bits of it are obscured by foreground terrain. This bullshit right here: https://lparchive.org/Kings-Quest-III/Update%2003/9-03-007.gif

Also, it's timed.

Police Quest Swat 4. You're in my spot, SIR

You know that game is a work of fiction because you get a better score for not killing suspects.

Chuds tried to reboot it in a new police swat game that looks bad and stupid and misses the point of the original games. Typical for G*mers.
