The Sprung Out - Oh, to be seventy again.

Point and click games: for when you want to play a visual novel but want the added bonus of reading a .txt file.

From what I've heard about visual novels from all of you people here, I don't want to play a visual novel.

Btw the Discworld games are based on Terry Pratchett's books, but that's the only one I can think of right now.

The Black Cauldron!!!!


... yup, that's all I've got.

This is made better by the fact that it (apparently) takes place in a prison.

I don't understand what your argument is there, because something is based on a popular movie/book/comic and does well, it somehow makes the overall experience bad for everyone. Because TWD was so good and Telltale is doing another game based on a popular series, this is spelling doom because people might say it's not as good as the first game, and therefore you won't be able to find an honest review because everything you're reading on the Internet is skewing your view? I'm really not following the logic...

Not what I meant, but I can see where I fucked up. I'll start again.
The point & click genre is worth the time because of the stories it has, I do get that. The fact that Telltale Games wants to bring some life to that genre by using what's relevant and expanding upon that is a great idea. It's when the idea becomes all it has, and the newer games of that genre is just copy paste a book with clicky segments is what I don't want to happen to it specifically. That's when the best argument that could come up for why you shouldn't play this game is "just go and buy the book" or "it's exactly like the book".

Of course, I'm just over-analyzing this.

Japanese prisons are weird too.

Fuck it, Donkey Kong is just King Kong with jumpy bits.

Mario is just John Carter with mushrooms.

Metal Gear is just Rambo with sneaking.

Games have been using other media as jumping off points for ages.
