You take that back, BoF IV was a solid game.
I can't believe I'm reading positive comments about Myst on TNL.

I wouldn't go that far but, then again, I gave up on the game after several hours. I'm amazed how much praise the game got. I guess so many people complained about Trace Memory being short that they made sure to drag Hotel Dusk on with way too much dialogue. I'm in the minority but I enjoyed Trace Memory more.Originally Posted by Compass
How long did Hotel Dusk take you? I still haven't played it, and I think I'd still like to, but if I recall Trace Memory lasted just over 3 hours for me. If they could do something in a similar vein around the 10-12 hour mark I'd be quite happy.
Cute and spicy.
I should have given up long before the end. My annoying, stubborn compulsion to see bad games through to the end has wasted far too much of my life. I liked Trace Memory way more. Or, I should say, I liked Trace Memory.
Grave, I don't know how long. Felt like twenty hours. Probably closer to fifteen. There's no way to speed up the text beyond a slightly faster crawl, which made most of the conversations positively agonizing. The whole time, I kept remembering that EGM reviewer who gave it a 10. Seriously, how does he sleep?

Myst was better than Hotel Dusk, at least. gtfoI can't believe I'm reading positive comments about Myst on TNL.
and I liked the last third of Hotel Dusk!
Seriously, though, why does everyone hate it so much?
Because we hate you.

1. It was popular.
2. It takes patience.
3. There's no killing.
4. Speaking of killing, Myst is solely responsible for the death of the hand-drawn adventure game, and must be lambasted for all eternity as punishment.

Numbers one and two being the most probable.
Oh, also.
Chrono Trigger was awesome for a while. Save for a few dumb situations, like Dalton's airship, I was at least able to enjoy the characters and zipping around time periods. But then, despite the game never hinting at me having to grind in the slightest, I hit the areas leading up to the final boss.
Long story short, I wanted the game to end when end of time old dude first prompted me to go ahead and start the big fight. I got all pumped for a final battle, only to find that I would have to do a lot of bullshit sidequests I couldn't care about before standing a chance. I wound up using emulator voodoo to wrap it up; playing this on the real thing would have been a nightmare for me.

How'd you do the voodoo that you do?
