forever. you're too stupid to finish it.

You'll just end up as the Dwayne guy, trying to KYS and failing.

A day, idiot.

Walls don't curve, what shit artstyle is this

>>13734527

I have barely even clicked anything. I'm just wondering. Sheesh

>>13734555

You can switch it to the original game on the fly.

>>13735349

It took me like 3 hours to get out of the cell in Maniac Mansion

>>13734519

Wow, the new art style looks like nothing

>>13735931

>new art style

It's literally just a smoothing filter.

>>13734519

It isn't a good game.

>>13735710

Upvoted, fellow patrician.

>>13735940

>>13735931

they're going for the emulator audience

>there are people that don't like DotT even apart from the whole remaster shit

I'm not saying you should give money to them, but come on.

>>13737054

What, you think Shitface deserves money? If anyone's from reddit, it's you. Kill yourself.

>>13737114

But DotT comes with MM.

>>13737130

I like it, just saying you shouldn't buy the remaster cash grab.

>>13737130

see

>>13737114

Also, it is part of a terrible trend in adventure games.

>>13737171

What trend?

>>13737163

>I like it, just saying you shouldn't buy the remaster cash grab.

Fair enough, I agree in fact.

>>13737171

Even if MM is superior (which I don't agree with anyways), that doesn't make DotT a bad game. And you can't really hold the game itself responsible for a whole lot of shitty knockoffs.

>>13737176

No fail states and the only acceptable solutions are convoluted mess that only make sense in hindsight. (You can do that because of other puzzle or you can only do it that way because other puzzle)

>>13737183

>Even if MM is superior (which I don't agree with anyways), that doesn't make DotT a bad game.

1) MM is superior.

2) The trend is cancer and games that follow that trend only gotten better by giving less options and cutting the game to smaller sections.

3) DotT is a bad game.

>>13737230

>the only acceptable solutions are convoluted mess that only make sense in hindsight

As if MM didn't have it's fair share of that.

>you didn't want to tear this envelope to pieces? well too bad, stick it in the microwave next time!

<meanwhile you can take these conveniently uncancelled stamps right off this package and reuse them

>whoops, your clumsy character dropped this bottle of developer all over the floor! better sponge it up out of the filthy duct, it's still perfectly usable

>>13737230

>No fail states is a bad thing

Fail states are a bullshit mechanic in this genre. I'll never forget playing Return to Zork as a kid, getting hours into it, and getting totally stuck… because I pulled up a plant instead of using a knife to dig it out in the first five fucking minutes of the game.

>>13737272

>Return to Zork

Even if you had got the plant the right way, there is a 99% chance you would have messed something else up without a guide. That game is pretty bullshit but I still like it for the nostalgia

>>13737249

>As if MM didn't have it's fair share of that.

MM had trial and error. DotT had trial and trial and trial and trial and… In fact, deductive reasoning would hamper your success because sometimes you just do thing in wrong order. Like I know that I needed to dress up the mummy but the game won't let me. It turns out that I needed to push the mummy to the contest then dress it up.

When you rip open an envelope in MM, you'll figure out that you messes up when you need it mail a letter. In DotT, the character would make up some bullshit about it being illegal only for you to break the law to solve the problem.

I played in daily for 3 straight months until I just followed a walkthrough, the people who made it were brain damaged, none of it makes any sense at all. It's the only game I have never completed by myself.

>anything but tender, pure, vanilla loving

get out, dweebagoon

I remember as a kid reading a video game book in the library about how Maniac Mansion had an easter egg where you could microwave a hamster and kill it

I've never played it I just thought that was neat and it's stuck with me for years

>>13734519

>Giving Money to Tim "Mr Shitlord" Schafer

There's a special hell for people like you.

>>13738386

That reminds me: in Zak McKracken, one of the required puzzles is to microwave an egg. Pretty harmless, right? However, you can horribly kill your goldfish in 3 ways. And one solution to getting rid of a squirrel is to "use" a dead tree branch on it. I love sadism in these games

Is that how the game looks remastered?

I'm baffled.

>>13738434

That shit is a lot less amusing if you are required to do it to progress in the game like in DotT.
