Quote:You don't know who your fooling with! I've only been playing adventure games for *checks calender* the last 10 years! At least.
Then you would agree that they are essentially RPGs without the random battles... or perhaps, that RPGs are a fusion of digital story and wargaming-inspired combat, while adventure games are straight digital stories?
Quote:My stance is, and will continue to be, that random encounters are not a major annoyance and are rarely even a minor annoyance except in rare cases with I'm either in a hurry to get somewhere or the encounters happen too often [though this doesn't happen as much as it used to].
The more I play them the higher my tolerance for the things gets, but that doesn't mean that I like the concept any better...
