if u are a fan like me of point and click games like Monkey island, Discworlds,Broken Sword etc then am sure you are looking forward to full throttle 2 coming out but is this genre dying. true they have turned from cartoon stlye graphics to 3D to try and keep them popular and modern but in my view they loose that little somthing when they go to 3D.So this topic is for people to post there views do you think its dying,which do you prefer cartoon or 3d,whats your favourite point and click or anything else on the subject maybe we coul get a list of the best to the worst

I've never heard of the first Sherlock Holmes game let alone any others. When was it released?

You know it's really rubbsih when people take things seriously in these forums and put other people down. The whole point of these is to let every body have their say and opinion. What do you think Bob_the_moose?

Did Bob_The_Moose say something?? You have a good point mate but the way Der Nazi said it, was just basically saying that graphics are the most important thing and the only important thing. Maybe i just miss-read it, i don't know but i wanted to get my view across as well.

Graphics are important, not 'very important', but they are important. But gameplay is so much more important.

I used the word important 4 times in 2 sentances. And I'm hoping to get a B in GCSE English. Hmm.

Anyway, to summarise, gameplay is much more important than graphics, but a game having a graphics engine is still important, however there are exceptions to this, like Uplink. And nobody tell me that did have a graphics engine, because I know it did. I'm just making a point OK?.

I think this post will be ignored even more than my others.

What?? Graphics are very important? Graphics are just eye candy mate, yes they are slighty important but not very important. You could have one of the best looking adventure games in the world but if the gameplay was the game would be a failure and the developer who made the game would be a laughing stock for making a cartoon/film instead of a game.

1 in 3 of my responses are either someone insulting me or someone telling me they don't know what I'm talking about.

Nah i don't think it's dying out, i just think that people tend to prefer a blood n guts game in this day an age rather than a thinking game. Just wait till Full Throttle 2 comes out and also Runaway: A Road Adventure as they are tipped to be quite good.
