Sierra VS Lucasarts
 

What adventure company do you think its best?

I forgot.... :) Name the reasons for your preference also if you like :)

I prefer Sierra, this because I've played all the quest games when I was little (space quest, quest for glory, eco quest, king's quest...). The only game I played of Lucasarts when I was little was Monkey Island 1. Perheps I prefer them after I played their other adventure games (sam & max, full trottle..) but right now I think Sierra rules, pure out of nostalgism.

LucasArts all the way :) And this is pure nostalgia talking out of me. Monkey Island and Indiana Jones series definitely bring back the best time of my childhood, and playing those games was simply marvelous. Sierra games were too complex in a way. I don't think I've finished any of their text-command adventures, except one Space Quest sequel. My english wasn't good enough, and walking around pointlessly trying out hundreds of text action-place combinations was too frustrating. On the other hand, Monkey Islands, Indiana Jones, Sam & Max, DOTT and similar had an unbeatable atmosphere, and a truly unique and witty sense of humor that I adored. I immersed myself into those games completely and finished them dozens of times. I can never get enough :)

Sorry, got carried away a little :)

I think that i should post my opinion too... I like Lucasarts games a bit more than Sierra's ones, thats true, but i like the adventures of Sierra very much also... In particular Space quest series of games, and Larry :) From Lucasarts i really loved every game ( the only one i don't like is Monkey island 4 - The only game that should have never been 3D )... Simply because they are more funny than Sierra's ( and have better atmosphere too - Monkey island in particular ). Its the most important thing for a adventure game to be funny i believe... I play over over again, loading old saved games etc of Day of the Tentacle only to see its jokes again :) I don't remember to have done this thing with any sierra game... Anyway... thats my opinion :)

But the time those games were published, there was no DOTT or Indiana Jones yet, by the time those "easy" lucasarts" games were around, there was also King's Quest 5, Quest for Glory 3, Space Quest 4...

Just wanted to mention that :P

True, but unfortunately I never got around to playing any of the Quest for Glory / King's Quest series :?

Never too late for catching up though.... :wink:

Indeed :)

I'll have to say I prefer Lucasarts...
its just more fun to play in my , humble, opinion.

Adventure games are just plain boring..
sitting watching a 5 minute movie
fight 40 fire-witches
rest(5 mins..)
find a gold key
fight 41 rats
rest(5 mins..)
Find a message
"Go west, north, west, south, east, west, north, east, north"
Not rememberable
find your way somewhere
Find its enemy barracks
fight 42 enemy soldiers
rest(5 mins)
fall asleep bored(5 hours)
lalala..
