Quote:And you were proven wrong about text adventures being video games, remember that? I brought up the whole choose-you-own-adventure example and you finally admitted some amount of defeat, as much as your ego would allow.
I remember you trying to claim victory based on some stupid technicality, but common sense only has one conclusion, and that's that text adventures and graphic adventures are in the same genre. Saying otherwise when the gameplay is identical (and BTW choose your own adventure does not play much like any adventure game I've ever played...) is just foolish... if there were gameplay differences you'd have a point, maybe, but there aren't to any significant degree!
And as for RE it's a very violent adventure game. Action-adventure? Yeah, that's a better classification. But it owes a lot to adventure games, for sure... but it owes more to adventure games than action ones, that is a fact that anyone who has played Alone in the Dark would know.
