    And if the Password Recovery doesn't work (there was an error transitioning accounts during the upgrade), use the "contact us" link right down the bottom right of the forums and harass us about it. Include your account name and its e-mail address (or whatever parts of it you remember).

Until your account has "passed" your posts will only be visible to yourself (and moderators) until they are approved. Give us a week to get around to approving / deleting / ignoring your mundane opinion on crap before hassling us about it. Once you have passed the moderation period (think of it as a test), you will be able to post normally, just like all the other retards.

    The exclusion of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders and Future Wars, among others; the inclusion of stuff like Portal and Silent Hill (which I enjoyed but doesn't belong here) and the placing of The Dig at position #92 automatically make that list a pure-shit list.

    If Portal 2 is on there, then why not Psychonauts?

    Why are all the Infocom text adventure games listed as one entry? Why not list all the Sierra adventure games as one entry then? Or all the LucasArts games?

    Toss me in the mob chanting "shit-list!" at this thing.

    I'm specially butthurt about them not giving attention to several kickstarter revivals, while frequently bending genres and sucking up stuff like Portal and L.A Noire.

    Fucking traitors. JustAdventure is a much better site.

    Hey, they aren't running a charity. Also they admitted that one of the reasons why they GOTY the Portal games is because they ... don't play adventure games. From their free time I mean, an individual staff member will generally only play the games he has to review. With Portal on the other hand everyone gives it a whack so it wins by default.

    Also the site's been infected with trojans for a while, haha.

    So Portal is a good adventure game according to them because it's not an adventure game?

    Also re trojans: beware of geeks bearing gifts.

    It's an adventure game because they, Adventuregamers, played it, duhh. And you can't really blame them, most adventure games released these days are rather crummy. It's like if the codex liked Dark Messiah more than.. uh.. mmm.. can't think of an RPG equivalent of a bad TLJ clone.

    This list, and the logic of the list is so messed up I don't even know where to start. I'm little caffeine low, so please don't mind me if I'm repeating myself or something.

    Both Siberia games in the first 50. Longest Journey at the 2nd place, WHAT THE FUCK.

    Meanwhile games like: Toonstruck, Discworld, Shadow of the Comet, MM, and so on are at the end. WHAT

    Ah, by the way. If we have there the good old point-and-clicks along with FMVs like Journeyman Project...
    No THREE FUCKING SKULLS OF THE TOLTECS? No Frankenstein, one of the longest adventure games? LEGEND OF KYRANDIA?
    Too hard to find on bloody warez? Doesn't work under Vista? Or maybe these people were just born in 1995?

    90. Spycraft: The Great Game
    I am angry now.

    67. Pepper's Adventures in Time
    :what:

    66. Callahan's Crosstime Saloon
    Hipster enough.

    Portals, Fahrenheit, Heavy Rain- what those games are even doing there?

    Silent hill? Great. If we're in TPP action adventure... then where is Ecstatica and / or the first AiTD? LITTLE BIG ADVENTURE perhaps?

    Blackstone Chronicles, Amber: Journeys Beyond, Faust, Myst 4, Star Trek, Zork Nemesis, The Book of Unwritten Tales, Full Throttle- those games are either low- rated shit deserving for low rate, or let's say, uninspired.
    There are better games than this, and they're not even mentioned.

    :decline:

    Hey, why bash the Legend Entertainment games? They were great stuff. Low rated shit? Uninspired? Give me a break. Callahan's and Blackstone were some of the best Legend did and some of my favorite adventures ever, they should certainly be well placed in any decent top 100 list.

    As for the rest of your criticism, I agree.

    Fahrenheit is an awful game, and Portal/Portal 2/L.A. Noire aren't really adventures. Bad list.

    LucasArts adventures are like sitting in a trailer park watching reruns on the Simpsons on an old couch with your fat wife.
