Who has it Who has it Who has it??
I'm stalking my office mailbox looking for that telltale sign of a white InteractCD box. People think I'm a whacko. Wait until I get my husband's binoculars out of my purse to stalk the mailman......

LOL nicki! Had to leave work early to fill in for a softball game. I tried to explain that I couldn't make it because of a VERY important meeting but was still forced to go.
I love the game! Still getting the feel for it. I only got to play for about 2 hours yesterday.
AWESOME graphics. The story has already got me sucked in. I got in a fight with a bobby pin but I prevailed. In fact, I have to ditch you all to play right now!

So how many of you think the graphics are awesome? personally I think they are very lackluster by regular game standards, but not necessarily adventure game standards. The art direction isn't very good. The screen space and travel time is very badly designed i.e. running through massive open spaces with nothing in them with screens that stretch/pan that increase travel time and tedium especially for backtracking. This game has really made me outright feel the presence of "unnecessary screens" far more than any other. It's one thing to establish world size and scope but oiiiiii. The camera angles are also awful dating back to pre-2000's adventure games, there is a 180 degree rule that is broken frequently (google it) which makes navigating very disorienting as it often looks like you've been travelling in opposite facing directions because of the angles. The premise is very intriguing but the whole design of the game makes me feel like I'm playing an early 2.5D adventure all over again where I memorise the screens and hotspots from bad angles/placement rather than move naturally. I have to have some sympathy because of the lower budget of art and adventure games in general, but the very simple design issues that could have been solved regardless of budget irk me. Over the years I've seen the various adventure game sites treat games with promise with kid gloves and fawning to encourage them but gloss over many issues like this. It is this overall lack of polish that keep the genre inaccessible to new players, in the doldrums, and only for the fuddy duddies like us that grew up with them and love them enough to put up with their flaws  So yes I think this game is a bit overrated so far  Rant on the bobby pin issue since I already did in the hints forum accidentally. Why the h*** are there four bobby pins and you can only click on one with the smallest hotspot imaginable given the graphic. There is sort of a graphical hint that makes that one standout, but why not be able to click on all of them. ARGH!

I love pixelly DOS games though. I still think many of them look better than adventures today especially Culpa  i.e. the hand painted work in Sierra games like Kings Quest. I'm also currently loving the Blackwell series. Just because something is 3D doesn't mean it's automagically better

Metamorphium has written a very helpful review of Culpa Innata here in the Boomer Reviews forum. Check it out. Fathamburger -- I've been thinking about what you said above. How exactly are you defining "art direction"? And why do you think that newbies to the adventure genre would even notice "polish" or a lack of it?

I'm done with work, fixing to load the game up again!
I love it. First game in a while I'm sure I'll play to the end.
I do agree that the running around in huge screens is annoying. They've done very well with double clicking on certain things to inspect and not have to walk over to the item to save some time. It would have been nice to be able to do that instead of running around towards the arrows and confusing myself not being sure where I'm going. That's my only criticism so far, though. The graphics aren't as sharp as I've seen, but the close-ups of the faces are wonderful. I'm actually looking into their eyes and listening to what they're saying. For me that says alot because I'm itchy with my right-click to skip dialogue most of the time. The game does remind me of TLJ in a good way. That's the only other game in a while I remember finishing and I feel the same way about this one. It's not perfect, but it's perfectly enjoyable to me!

Well basically art direction means something that is aesthetically pleasing regardless of method or form. For example World of Warcraft despite lower tech graphics is more aesthetically pleasing in cartoony abstract way than more realistic and higher tech games like Everquest 2. When I say lack of polish, a lot of that goes into what I described above but since I gather most of you shy away from the mainstream type games, they have far more polish in design etc (and budget  ). Since I generally play everything, I'm going with pure love for the adventure genre right now. Sam and Max and Dreamfall are probably the best ways to describe polish curently, but the main thing is that the majority of adventure games are archaic in design and production value and that's what many people see when they try one who are used to mainstream games. It's a dying genre not necessarily because of all those things though, it is a dying genre because it is appealing mainly to an aging playerbase that remembers them in their heyday, and a genre that is not growing or appealing to new players. Adventure games are basically amateur hour nowadays, but as I mentioned Blackwell above.. Dave Gilbert could technically be considered an amateur but his games are far tighter and more polished than most of the Myst clone [blip] that makes it to the shelf

Hi Fathamburger  Whilst I respect that you are entitled to your opinion  I have to say I totally disagree with you on a lot of counts. Mainly : Who plays adventure games, who might be encouraged to play adventure games, how polished adventure games actually are.... that old chestnut "the adventure genre is dead or dying" .... and .... your new "wannabe" chestnut "adventure games are basically amateur hour nowadays". I too enjoyed the "Glory Days of Adventure" but I am also enjoying very many of the games on offer today  And I will welcome more of them  Cheers. Mad

I guess it's good to be me, because I can play the games while being ignorant of what is good or bad graphics. I would not even think of criticising the graphics in Culpa, in fact the only thing I can remember from playing was how unbelievably clear their faces and expressions were. The rest was more than adequate to keep this gamer happy and content. Posted by fathamburger: It's a dying genre not necessarily because of all those things though, it is a dying genre because it is appealing mainly to an aging playerbase that remembers them in their heyday, and a genre that is not growing or appealing to new players.
Adventure games are basically amateur hour nowadays, but as I mentioned Blackwell above..

I can't even begin to formulate a response to that except to say that this comes across as a clone statement from any number of gaming sites that cater to those that think the world only revolves around shooters. I'm sorry you can't relax and enjoy the game for what it is and instead just see what it is not. You are missing out on some simple pleasures. Ana

I also agree with Mad, & Ana... The graphics are beautiful...You can see the expressions in the eyes very well.. As far as I am concerned we came along way since the adventure games of years gone by.. I am totally happy with this game ,and a lot of the others.. Great work to the developers of this game

Good or bad graphics are opinions, not facts. I like a lot of so-called "bad" or "poor" graphics because I like that style. Case in point, the old style of pixelated graphics are fine with me!

Well I guess I've been spoiled by Heavenly Sword cutscenes and TF2 facial animations etc  I actually like that touch though, the faces are lifeless but the lipsync is pretty cool, I can't tell if it's scripted or generated by reading the waveform (the latter likely, and is pretty impressive). I can't really fault the lack of facial animation though since their minimum spec was targeted to be very low. I Can't enjoy the game because it's badly designed, bugs or not ,see hint section  I probably will finish it eventually though, but Sam and Max seems to be carrying the torch single handedly nowadays. Either way I don't think this game deserves the glowing reviews at all. *For an adventure game* Syberia, Still Life/Post Mortem etc yes but this is nowhere in their league so far like the reviews seem to have indicated. JA is especially guilty of over reviewing some adventures which would have been lackluster "back in the day" to try and encourage the genre along but Culpa's praise so far seems really ridiculous even by their standards. I guess it's good to be me, because I can play the games while being ignorant of what is good or bad graphics. I would not even think of criticising the graphics in Culpa, in fact the only thing I can remember from playing was how unbelievably clear their faces and expressions were.

Syberia wasn't that good. I finished both 1 and 2 and found both to be quiet boring. As for culpa, it does worth the good reviews it gets. When you first start it you'll probably hate it. But after playing for 20-40 min you will really get into it. The story line has these awesome twists that you would never expect. If you would advance in the game, you'd know what I mean.
The only downsides of culpa are crash and movement bugs (That most are already fixed with the new patch) and the graphics. Let's face it, they're out dated. The facial expression are ok but the rest could really use an improvement. But the good story line makes up for all flaws.

I also find the interface is very interesting...So much to do with the GPS system...Not a bore at all for me.. The game is Vast in territory..I love the halogen TV.. I also think Phoenix...Is amazingly smart..She makes a good cop. As far as Sam & Max..I have played the cartoon style game.. Thats what I think of the graphics <cartoon> The graphics in this Culpa game is realistic... I give culpa three  which is Great in my book. :ghost1:

Hi Fathamburger -- I agree with you that "Art Direction" is a rather amorphous term. I disagree with this, however: It's a dying genre not necessarily because of all those things though, it is a dying genre because it is appealing mainly to an aging playerbase that remembers them in their heyday, and a genre that is not growing or appealing to new players.
At GameBoomers we frequently see new adventure gamers who are just beginning to enjoy gaming and the adventure genre. Often these are not gamers who played the classic adventures and then have gone on to other genres. Often these are gamers who are starting out by first playing a recently released adventure, which they enjoy for its strong story, strong characters, or immersive environments. The lack of combat or other kinds of explicit violence in adventure games is often a calling card for these new gamers. It's not unusual for these gamers to hail from the vast, relatively untapped hordes of "older" gamers, including the Baby Boomers. As for new adventure gamers who don't enjoy a game because of its lack of "polish" -- you may have seen that, but I haven't. Usually when I talk to someone who has drifted away from the genre without ever getting "hooked," I hear two complaints. Either they couldn't get the game to play glitch-free on their computer and don't want the hassle of tweaking it (in this case, in my experience, they are usually trying to install games on their laptops). Or they think that the puzzles are too hard and too obscure. The first problem is a problem for all PC games, not just adventures. The second problem is one that I think should be addressed, either through in-game hint systems or varying difficulty levels -- and I'm seeing more adventure games using one or the other. It's impossible to think that the adventure genre is dying when dozens of adventures are released every year. At this time of year, adventures seem to be releasing every week. The problem is keeping up with all the releases, not lamenting that there aren't any new games.

The problem with adventure games today is that there are no big companies that want to make them. Most companies that make adventure games are small ones that you only get to know through the game. If EA games or Eidos would make adventure game, for example, it would be awesome.
Most big companies aim for other genre such as FPS or strategy. Adventure games today are not that good tbh. When was the last time you saw a breathtaking graphics in a quest game?
The Adventure Company is the only well known company for adventure games (at least for me) and they are ok. But thats the problem, they are just ok. Today's FPS games are simply amazing (Bioshock, Half life 2 etc). There are no amazing adventure games anymore, just ok ones.

There are no amazing adventure games anymore, just ok ones. Sinotek, I'm sorry you haven't found any amazing adventure games. I assure you, I have. What makes a game "amazing" is different for every player. I am lucky in that I have 2 kids that love gaming and so I see and sometimes play many different genres with them on many different platforms. One is not inherently better than the other. To each their own. Sometimes, my own is Keepsake on the PC, while at others, it's Baldur's Gate 2 on the PS2 or Hero's on the Box. I also have to take issue with the statement by Fathamburger that there are no new Adventure game players. I started playing adventure games for the first time 3 years ago and came over to Adventure games from the Xbox and the PS2. I don't think I'm alone in this. However, as interesting as this debate has become, it has wandered rather a long way from the topic :witch:

Yeah and again, Keepsake's graphics is pretty bad (And yeah I know it was at 2006, but still). Thats the main problem. All companies can make good story lines, but the problem is the way they execute them.

I very much disagree with you - Keepsake is one game that did just about everything right. But as the mods have indicated, this is getting off topic, and I'm only contributing to that and will stop there. I haven't seen Culpa yet, but it will be interesting to see a game that sparks such feeling, whether positive or negative.

Hope is good! We're happy to give hope.  (I know, I'm still off-topic.) If Culpa Innata had been developed by Electronic Arts for a more general market, and had full 3D amazingly photorealistic graphics with lots of extra animations, etc. -- Would it also have a WASD control scheme that would alienate the point-and-click adventure gamers? Would it require a better, faster computer than most of us have, and would there be more glitches to deal with? Would the puzzles need to be "simplified" for the general audience? Would the dialogs have been shortened, and the plot "simplified" for the general audience? Despite all of this, would the action/arcade gamers be attracted to its more leisurely-paced gaming style and thought-provoking themes?

I have mine too, but I'm still playing Wintersonne. <-- me too slow... Now you guys are making me want to abandon Wintersonne and just install Culpa Innata instead. !
Fathambeurger/ aging graphics is a GOOD thing. It means I don't have to plunk down $400 for a better graphics card spend $ on games instead. (The Awakened ran like a snail on this beast) It means that the budget for making those amazing graphics could go towards better voice acting and more time developing story and puzzles.

EA can pull off a decent quest game if they'll dedicate themselves to it. Yes, it would require a better PC but thats how everything is today. You gotta move on with the time. It won't take long before all adventure games will require a better PC. BTW I know people who hate quest/adventure games but they loved Dreamfall. Why? because it had a good visual to it and an amazing story line. Most adventure games have an average graphics with good story lines. That is a shame because it makes the game less attractive to some. That is the major flaw in adventure games today. Most gamers see the not so attractive graphics and they get turned off by it. To some (like you Becky) graphics is not a factor. But to some gamers (Like me) it is. P.S: Sorry for going off topic again, but I had to reply to Becky .

Hi  Naughtily off topic still ....  .... but .... "It wasn't good or bad it was a ADVENTURE GAME.You took it for what it was" I so agree !! [And good, bad or ugly, and despite their ancient graphics, some of those old adventure games STILL knock the spots off some of what we are offered as adventure games today  ] Cheers. Mad

The puzzles so far are just right, not too hard, but they make you think. Would it be a spoiler to ask what types of puzzles people have encountered so far? Just curious. Thanks!  ------

Thanks, guys!  Any sliders? Not that I dislike them or anything, just curious.  I'm glad to hear everyone's first impressions. I probably won't get this one for awhile. Have a bunch of others that need to be played first. -----

Noooooo We hate sliders  Well not hate really, just we aren't friends at the moment really. No sliders, timed mazes (mazes at all) Nice thing when you make the game you can stay away from every puzzle type that you don;t like as a gamer heh heh

Laura: Rats! And I was sooo disappointed I didn't find timed maze filled with slider puzzles which you'd solve while having to deflect randomly shot laser beams. Maybe an idea for Culpa 2? Or maybe you can make minimalistic puzzle design. Like for example having a crypt and a key lying next to it. You take the key and unlock the crypt to find a next key-with-crypt scene? Or am I being needlessly cryptic?

There better be a 2nd Culpa! So many stuff left unanswered. Even if there will be tons of timed mazes puzzles, I'd still play it!
