I also think most jrpgs are more of adventure games then rpgs. If games like Final Fantasy or Secret of Mana are considered rpgs, why isn't for example Zelda an rpg? My definition of an rpg is pretty much when you play a character you created yourself and were you can influence and make your own choices how to play the game. Most Jrpgs has very little of this which imo makes them more of adventure games as I said before. Most jrpgs > "real" console/computer rpgs though.
Yes, and how the fuck is Secret of Mana for example NOT an action adventure game if Zelda is? :>
Adventure games are games like Myst etc. though.
I loved Myst.
and Day of the Tentacle!Don't forget Full Throttle!
and Day of the Tentacle!
Lucasarts adventures are truly state of the art.
As for the Myst series I never thought they were hated. From what I know, they're acclaimed by critics and gamers alike. I've only played Myst 3 and 5(the last one).I've finished the third Myst and haven't played the fifth one in a while. I got stuck on some puzzle there.Need to give it another shot
I wouldn't call Myst a typical adventure either, it's more puzzle-oriented game than most adventures, and interaction with other characters is cut to a minimum. Reminds me of Sierra's Lighthouse.
Creeping Death is especially epic!Listen to Dokaka if you like that...it's even better!
His site with metal covers doesn't seem to work but his Myspace(s) do:

I don't get why so many people hate it so much. Myst and Riven aren't amazing but they're way better than most games. Monkey Island/Grim Fandango/Sam and Max ftw though.
I don't understand it either. I'm getting nostalgic now!
And yes, Monkey Island ftw.
Seeing as you aren't on MSN I've installed Monkey Island 3. Weeeeee.
