Syberia impressions?

[Nathan]

This adventure game has been out for a few months. I've read some good reviews on it, but surprisingly there are no mentions of the game on this forum. I'm just d/ling the demo now. Has anyone played this game? Your opinions? :)

[[Corporal Dan]]

Weren't there 2 of these games out YEARS ago (1996 and before?)

Syberia and Syberia2:Resurrection

?

Got any linkage for the one which you're talking about?

[SavagePaladin]

this is a different one, most definately

I dunno, I don't much like adventure games I guess.
Gabriel Knight 1+2 and the first Broken Sword were cool, the later sequels.....nah

6 words:

Monkey Island

Day of the Tentacle

[SavagePaladin]

new french game

Ugh, I see another "Golden Dolphin"-like adventure

[Nathan]

After playing the demo, I don't really like the game. The graphics looked good as small screenshots, but in the game, quality is very lacking. Gameplay is also too linear for me.

I confused Syberia for Cyberia at first too!

I DL'ed the demo.
I hate these type of games...it's called "find the hidden spot on the screen to click on"!
WOOHOO! :rolleyes:

ROTFLMAO @ Matty

The game did intrest me at first especially since I like those type of adventure games to some extent. What I mean is that all they are is just onscreen books where you click things. If they cost cheap and have intresting character backgrounds I would be intrested but this game I don't really like even though the girl looks sexy.

Agreed, the girl is sexy in a non-****ty way. She's genuinely attractive.

With a high-poly model and some imagination...

This kind of sexiness is refreshing in games

Got this game for my wife as she is the adventure freeak in the house, except for one, Grim Fandango ;) After finishing the game she this is what she said about it. To easy, to quick but with a good story. Her favorite adventure games thus far are, Gabriel Knight 1, 2 and 3.

omfg your wife is gamer, and likes quality adventure games!

i didn't know such a female existed!

[Kruno]

ROTFLMAO I thought women only liked adventure games :D

[Nathan]

The Kings Quest series were my favorites for adventure games in the good old days. Hmm...Monkey Island was also fun.

[[Corporal Dan]]

yea i liked king's quest as well.

I also liked Full throttle, as well as what i mentionned above

[Matthyahuw]

My wife only like puzzle and card games...:rolleyes:

[[Corporal Dan]]

Russian squares was fun.

And tetris is the best game ever.

Seriously.

(Only the ORIGINAL gameboy version, of course. Without the trademark music, there is no point in playing)

[fishlung]

I'll take Dr. Mario over Tetris any day. :)

My girlfriend doesn't really like games, much, unfortunately. I got her Grim Fandango, which she played about halfway through (that game cracks me up, as well as Full Throttle). About the only thing she ever did play was Bust-A-Move on the Playstation. Bah (not that Bust-A-Move isn't a great game).

WOOHOO!

Don't forget the logic problems...

Q: You are stuck in a room with no way out. There are 22 seemingly useless items in your inventory. In the room there are 6 objects that can be interacted with, none of which have an obvious purpose. Some items in your inventory may be combined to form a new item, though you have no way of knowing which without trying. Write down the maximum number of combinations of mouse clicks on items and scene objects you will need escape from the room.

This is my wife to the letter, except when she finds a good adventure game :p
