IAmSinistar: Actually, I do like P&C games quite a lot. I just didn't care for most of the ones that LucasArts put out, even back on the Amiga.
Liking P&C and disliking LA is quite an oxymoron!
EDIT: ah, you're a Sierra guy! :P

Are you one of those that apreciate things as far as they remain a niche? :P
But whatever..
This kind of attitude doesn't help convince me.

I like good games, and I like good P&C titles. I have not liked any of the LucasArts P&C titles I have played. I'm not convinced they are the masterpieces of P&C gaming that everyone goes on about, any more than I am convinced that the Star Wars films are great movies.

It has nothing to do with how popular a title is. It has to do with my tastes. I know it's inconceivable to some gamers that someone wouldn't care for the LucasArts games, but you're talking to one.

If you can't respect my opinion and need to find some kind of excuse instead to dismiss it, then don't bother talking to me. Because I'm not being offensive to all the people who do like these games.

EDIT: Sorry, I'm not trying to bite your head off. I just think people need to respect other people's tastes in gaming, without rendering some kind of absolute judgement like "this game is the best ever of its genre, and something is wrong with you if you don't think so".

Well, this is bloody fantastic news if it's true. Here's some games I would want to see show up here:

Every SCUMM game plus Grim and Escape (nostalgic in every sense of the word, the number one reason I'm excited for this)
Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine
Star Wars: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast (I have very fond memories of the multiplayer with my cousins)
Outlaws (never got a chance to play it)

Ugh, I didn't expect that you would get offended by that O_o
The "whatever.." meant "amen, it doesn't matter", even if obviously I totally disagree with your tastes (or did I use it in a wrong way?).
Anyway, you ninja'd me while I was editing.

All of the Lucas Arts adventure games from Loom to Monkey Island 4.

Especially MI 1+2, Grim Fandago, The Dig and Full Throttle.
There are reasons these are classics.

Once I have all of the Monkey Island games again I will sit down and play them one after another, just like I did with the Broken Sword games recently. *The excitement*

That's fine then. I edited my own post to clarify as well. This is just a sensitive area for me, because my taste in games are diverse and unconventional. Sometimes I'm perceived as a deliberate iconoclast rather than as what I am, which is someone with really odd tastes. :)

stg83: Out of all the classic Lucas Arts P&C collection you should atleast give Grim Fandango a try when it comes out as no adventure game fan should go without playing the game IMO. :)
GF is probably the most overrated game in the entire genre.

I never liked it too much. Of course partially that is because it isn't a P&C at all, even though clearly adventure otherwise.
It has a unique setting (which is always nice), it provides a couple of good laughs, but overall it's my least favorite Lucas adventure. Well maybe Maniac Mansion is worse, as it is the only Lucas adventure where you can play yourself to a dead-end situation (not likely, but possible).

Maybe I should try GF with ResidualVM and mouse hack, but I still don't think it's going to raise much higher in my personal Lucas adventure ranking.

I'm not sure I would be able to get into the old LA P&C games as I have only played TOMI.

What P&C games are your favorites?

Well, on top of the ones I listed earlier, I think Botanicula is about the pinnacle of P&C games that I have played. I love everything about it. Looking forward to playing Machinarium, and wish there were more Amanita Design titles. I need to get the Samorost games as well.

I agree with you on Star Wars as I never got invested in the franchise like most fans are, I haven't even seen the original trilogy in its entirety as they didn't really seem to be some of the best Sci-Fi movies made to me either.

Also I hope you didn't take my earlier post the wrong way as I in no way intended to imply that if one doesn't like or appreciate Grim Fandango then they aren't an adventure game fan or anything to that affect. Taste in games, movies and pretty much a lot of other stuff is always subjective and everyone has a right to enjoy whatever strikes their fancy.

Thanks, and I was just being short-tempered, nobody really offended me. I just think it's useful for people to keep in mind that there are a variety of opinions out there. And I'm glad that a lot of people are excited to be getting these games. I'm not a dog in the manger about such things. Plus this should really be a boost for GOG's popularity, which I also countenance as a good thing.

Isn't that a BioWare game? Might it have additional rights issues in that regard?
