LucasArts vs. Sierra?

>>	Anonymous Tue Oct 31 11:25:15 2017 No.4364821 Both are great, but I'll give the edge to LucasArts simply because I prefer not to have bullshit deaths in my adventure games.

Anonymous Wed Nov 1 11:22:52 2017 No.4366974

>>4366963
I hear that KQVI: Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow is more or the less the best they have ever done.

Never having played it, I think Gabriel Knight 1 and Quest for Glory IV were some of their best. QfGIV could easily have been my favourite entry in that series if it wasn't so riddled with bugs.

Both have their merits and I honestly think that the world is a slightly better place by having both as opposed to just one or the other.
Want something challenging (that can also be quite punishing)? Insert diskette for KQ, SQ, PQ, etc. Want something less challenging, still providing puzzles, and is a lot more forgiving? Load up Secret of Monkey Island or Grim Fandango. Neither is really better than the other, but both are good in their own right.

wow rude, guy. we like to be civil on /vr/

>>4364773
LucasArts my dude. Might just be an issue of growing up with them with almost no alternatives. Maybe I'd change my bad shitter taste if I played it again after so many years, but I started with Curse and still think it's pretty damn good and fun.
I've learned to dig Larry later on, though

I'm pretty sure the thread is about comparing Sierra adventure games to LucasArts adventure games. But if we want to go that route, Sierra was involved with Half-Life...

>>	Jibwib Simmerstim, Esq. Thu Nov 2 21:45:14 2017 No.4370892 Generally I don't like dying and reloading a lot in adventure games but Sierra really knew how to kill you off in a funny way.

>>	Anonymous Thu Nov 2 21:57:55 2017 No.4370932 I don't think I've ever played any games by either company because of circumstances. What are the must-plays?

>>4370932

You're not making it clear if you're talking about their point and click games or their games in general.

The best LucasArts game are the X-Wing/TIE Fighter games, though the point and click games and other Star Wars games can be amazing.

Sierra's best game is Homeworld.

I liked the second and third games but neither came close to Sins of the Fathers
>that celebrity voice acting done right
>that atmosphere
>that detail
>that Cajun narrator, best narrator in any game
>that crazy fucking cult story
No way they could've topped it, though they did come pretty close with 2. It just didn't feel right without Tim Curry
