That's just your opinion, it seems that majority dissents. An adventure doesn't always has to be funny and "monkey-islandish", there are serious adventures out there, too. And that doesn't mean they're automatically bad.
Next example for a good serious german adventure: Overclocked
I second that. There were also quite funny adventures recently, such as "Edna bricht aus" (quite a revolution in terms of responses to player action, despite the very basic graphic attempts) and "Book of Unwritten Tales" (which I marveled at, overwhelming graphics and a nice storyline, disregarding the last chapter, unfortunately).
Tunguska was OK - but not quite what I like. The demo of part 2 scared me off, I found the storyline to be very poorly written and nonsensical. I haven't played Still Life, and Overclocked escaped me, though. And as I haven't played ALL German adventures in recent years, how could I even dare to say that "the rest is boring and lowbudget trash"?
Book of unwritten Tales is a game for rpg-geeks.
The people in this game have no good mimic and the humor is typicaly german. The backrounds look similar to the backrounds in Simon 5 and Everlight. I hate them.
AWW might be a realy good looking game. I`ll test it. Edna was funny but more like a homemade game. Another good game might be A Vampyre Story 2and Ghost Pirates from Bill Tiller. There are just a handfull of good Adventuregames in the last 8 years. Ankh, Tunguska, Sam und Max Ep 1/2, Runaway 1, Still Life 1, A Vampyre Story and Wallace and Gromit. The rest of the Adventuregames was on a very low level. I hope Tomi is the next classic in my list.
Ich will in meinem Leben nur das Filetstück. Mit Mittelmaß gebe ich mich nicht zufrieden. Ich will nur das beste vom Besten. Telltale liefert das im Moment.
Don't believe me? Just pick any commercial you want to, that's really cheezy and just outright bad. It's from Germany. Then turn on your TV. What's on? America's got talent? Ok. WTF? David Hasselhoff? How can such a worthless POC no-talent be so famous? Oh, he hit big in Germany? Germany is the asshole of the european culture.
There are two things you have to have in mind. First of all german commercial television is somewhat 20 years old, before that there was none. Secondly comparative commercials are forbidden in germany as far as I know, but besides that you obviously have missed the german late night commercials, they are a mixture between oversized tits and accidental humor, seriously...
But you cannot generally speak from your taste and map it to the rest of the world, germans are different than the americans, are they worse tastewise, definitely not, but they have other priorities in tastes and a different history!
this thread is of the track, pick it, up pick, up pick, it up ....
I will definitely buy this game only in German; I played it from the very beginning, back then on my Amiga 500 until the latest pc episode and there was always a German version out there! I am used to the excellent German translations and all the voices from Lucas Arts!
I will not switch!!!!

Your loss. And I can assure you that Lucas Arts of all companies wil definitely not be translating this game - that's up to whoever is going to publish this game in Europe.
np: Masha Qrella - I Talk To The Trees (Speaklow (Loewe And Weill In Exile))
What do you mean "What do you do...", i wanna talk, i wanna discuss, that's what forums are for, at least if you're not some viral marketing guy or something like that....
i still don't get your "financial possibilities" thing. no one said anything about that.
Das "So you waste your time in several forums. Poor boy, that`s not the best in life. " hat doch absolut nix mit deinen finanziellen Möglichkeiten zu tun, ich schnalls grad net

Erklär ihn mir doch bitte, sonst kann ich heut nimmer ruhig schlafen
edit: sämtliche variationen und sämtliche bezüge auf vorherige posts die sich mir erschließen wollen, sind nicht witzig. höchstens minimalst (wenn man ein auge zudrückt) amüsant.

And hey I had LucasArts glasses like you. And now I can play other adventure games too. I want entertainment. That´s all.
Not every game MUST be great and must´ve a hyper good quality!

Du:eek: und ich:D <--
and btw. i don't think that overclocked has bad graphics. story's a matter of taste.
what do you think about fahrenheit? imho it was GREAT!
does it have bad graphics, too?
