I'm in the WoW Beta Test!

Because DJ is interested but not interested enough to un-ban you for?

Haha, well it's kind of like being in the middle of a three-person political debate and not being able to hear out of your left ear.

And since you're hell-bent on ignoring the last part of one of my above posts, I'll post the damn thing again for you.



I don't think you really understand my opinion on this. I'm not saying that point-and-click controls are always bad, I'm saying that they work for certain types of games and shouldn't be used in certain cases. In something like Monkey Island where you don't have direct control over the character, it could be good if the developers really ran with it. Instead of using that control style to its fullest potential they made it sort of an odd, confused mix of direct and indirect controls. So many PC games are like that. Either let the player control Guybrush directly or make it apparent that you are not fully controlling him but rather guiding him. The game already has some of those ideas, what with the interaction between yourself and the character (which further proves my point about you not controlling Guybrush directly). They could have made the game even more interesting if there was a greater emphasis on that player-Guybrush interaction, or if you just plain became him directly. Going all the way in either direction would have resulted in a better game. I still love MI though.
