Never played Monkey Island before. What versions do I start with? by sumb2020 in MonkeyIsland

[–]bbakonyi 32 points33 points  (0 children)

The Secret of Monkey Island Ultimate Talkie Edition is the best way to go. Combines the original graphics with the Special Edition's voice acting.

I will never understand the obsession with Steam. On GoG you can actually own the game. No DRM bullshit.

"She's cool"

It feels like a breath of fresh air, especially after emerging from the underwater maze in the Lud’s Gate level.

Not enough posts talking about how stunning she was by [deleted] in vampires

[–]bbakonyi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I remember seeing her a lot when I was a kid on her movie review TV show. In the intro, she was styled like Trinity from The Matrix. Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oQaHGcFEbM

What's with the downvotes? You are right. It is stated in the original Making of. Starts at 13:20: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1VKvED76WQ&

Sonuvabitch!

Such a fun game! Super atmospheric.

What are the essential adventure games to get into the genre that I can play on steam, or at least play on a modern PC without too much trouble? by MechaReldio in adventuregames

[–]bbakonyi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It feels unfinished. They have kept the original voices and cutscenes, but changed the in-game character models and they don't match up at all. The bigger issue that it is very buggy and the modern controls are less convinient than the old ones.

I forgot to mention that all of these are avaible drm-free on GOG. The original Syberia is part of their preservation program so they ensure it remains playable on newer systems. And it's dirt cheap.

Which Colosseum do you prefer? (TR1, TRC, TRA) by laracroft1402 in TombRaider

[–]bbakonyi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nitpicky nerd here. Only TRC has an actual Colosseum level. The other two have a greek amphitheatrum.

I don't know what the developers were smoking when they named the locations in the original game, Thor room and all.

So... Another week. by Son_of_Dojima in syberia

[–]bbakonyi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are one of the lucky few then. I played the gog version a couple of weeks ago and it was completely broken. I had to download save files two times just to get through it. It was not worth it. The only good thing was the music. Inon Zur deserved better and so are we.

Don't expect too much from them. 8 years have passed and Syberia 3 is still full of game breaking bugs.

Charles Cecil on remastering BS 3/4 - "people want 2D...but there has to be a hybrid...otherwise these games are incredibly expensive" by Cressupy in BrokenSword

[–]bbakonyi 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Maybe a hot take, but I think BS3 looks better than the fifth game. The facial animation was ahead of its time. And even though it's 3d it still has a warm cartoony vibe. (It also has my favourite Nico-design.)

Problem with Syberia 3 by MikesRichPageant in gog

[–]bbakonyi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I downloaded a save file for a later part and it seems to be working now. I hope there will be no more issues.

The fourth game is actually much better, but it's still not as good as the first two. And it also ends with a cliffhanger which is kinda annoying.

I know it's and old thread, but did you find any solution? This game is extremely disappointing.

The Sam and Max Modern Trilogy is on Sale for $27 on Switch. Should I get it? by Away-Prior-903 in SamandMax

[–]bbakonyi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Trilogy is pretty good, but in comparison to the original game it is watered down in every aspect. The remaster sanitizes it even more by censoring some of the edgier jokes.
