I don't see it.

I still haven't completed Grim Fandango because of this shit

>need the walkthrough to solve
but then how did people who wrote the walkthrough solve it in the first place
answer: they had to call the developers or use cheat codes
that's fucking bullshit

if you play any games released earlier than 2015 you might as well kill yourself grandpa

I remember some of these had walkthrough on the disk

Pretty sure he's referring to official walkthroughs, where they work with the developers so they obviously know how to solve it.

Oh I just read the last line and realized you're shitposting, sorry.

Makes me think you are talking about Discworld. Even having read the novels and shit won't necessarily help you with that one.

Still a great game though.

stuck at the racetrack m8?

I hope the puzzles in Discworld were making fun of how fucking stupid puzzles in those games can be.

They do make fun of it in places. Mostly about how nonsensical some of them are, and how others are based on in jokes or some shit.

Still though when you figured out some of that stuff by yourself you felt like a fucking genius.

>Use a literal monkey to turn off a waterfall

>finally figure the puzzle out
>mfw instead of being happy I just get even more mad because of how bullshit the puzzle was and that the devs thought of it in the first place

Adventure games with only one way of solution are garbage. It's really frustrating to think of 3 very logical ways to solve a puzzle but nothing works and you look it up and it's something retarded as fuck.

>then
walkthrough is a .txt file with ASCII art and split into chapters

>now
walkthrough is a 52 slide powerpoint on ign.com

Dumb frogposter

This is a normal control though

That was a pain in the ass to actually go through, but the clues were all there.

Anybody here played Kathy Rain? How bad are the puzzles? I got it free a few days ago, but I'm not really used to adventure games.

>you will never play a game again where you get stuck on a specific part for days

>getting that feel when playing DaS for the first time
It was magical.
I've recently started trying to beat old arcade games with credit limits and I absolutely suck at them, so that's kind of similiar.
