I get bored easily too when I have to return to a certain spot in the game to pick up items that weren't there before of if I have to return to a room to click on a hotspot that's only been activated in that room because of something I did in another room. Tiresome, annoying and boring I find this.

Sound or music puzzles, mazes and timed puzzles, frustrates me more than anything. I do tend to find them interesting, but like colour puzzles I am not good at them. (I don't like colour puzzles in games, since I'm colourblind. It really is annoying to click the darkgreen thingie when you needed to click the lightred thingie or the pink or purple thingie...).

In some of the earlier adventure games, there tended to be much pixel hunting. You needed to put the cursor exactly where the item you needed was. Luckily, the newer adventure games seemed to have understood that this is not very enjoying for the player.

I loathe long puzzles-espeecially towards the end of the game. And just wandering around looking for things.

It seems like the thread has weaved off the path to things not liked instead of things that bore you. duh

The thing is sound & music and colour puzzles really do bore me. I like them a lot smile but they tend to bore me very much. They are often done in a way so it's very tedious to solve them. It becomes more a task or chore of finishing the puzzle than it becomes about enjoying the otherwisw well planned out game smile

I WANT to show every inventory item to every character. That's something I liked about the first Broken Sword game, and missed in the second. In the first you could show just about every item to every character and get a funny response.

I find first person games with puzzle after puzzle after puzzle and no characters to talk to extremly tedious. I'm not a Myst fan.

I'am with Joe - too much dialog (as in B&B for example). To wait for hours until he and she and the one over there said what they have to say bores me a lot.

What makes me laugh out loud is the items I can take in my trouser pocket (a ladder for example). But sorry, that's not the thread.
