King's Quest is a series without a single good game.

You're right, they're pretty awful. The only value is nostalgia. But at the time the first few were unique, ground-breaking, immersive and all sort of other things.

In 30 years there will be kids online saying how the Elder Scrolls series had no good games.

>>3203823

In 30 years time maybe Bethesda can do ladders
>>
>>3203823

seriously though, i will never ever ever stop playing morrowind, vanilla is a bit worn now, but aslong as the modding community stay strong it will it will outlast many NXT GENS

also TAMRIEL REBUILT PROJECT.. ON SAY OCCULUS!!!

OP confirmed for bot-generated bait

No argument here. This and Bard's Tale are terrible.

>>3203823

Why 30 years? You can say it right now and it'd be true.

Oh, you saw the Taco Man plays episode, too? Cool.

leisure suit larry is probably the only good sierra adventure
>>
>>3204361
Except that it's so stupefyinging dated as to be almost unplayable today. I'd say Sierra's other series aged better since they're generally set in a sci-fi/fantasy world instead of the real world populated by landline phones and other 80s-early 90s tech that populates LSL.

Not to mention that the swinger/dating scene today is radically different than it was when my parents were dating.

i meant in terms of being actually fun to play

you can get game overs where you expect to get game overs and you can only make the game unwinnable ONCE because al lowe forgot to put in a game over screen for a certain event

Didn't play the originall, but remakes of 1 and 2 were awesome.

KQ1 is a very dull game since there's hardly any content; 90% of it consists of wandering around empty screens. KQ3 is the first one in the series that's interesting to play.

I really liked KQ2, to a young kid walking around the forest and climbing down a ladder into an underground dwarf's house was exciting.

Walking around, checking holes in trees and swimming across lakes.

Fun times, even the dying had an amusing feel about it.

Why /vr/, why did they do this?
>>
>>3204006
Wrong, you can't say anything bad about morrowind
>>
>>3204006
Morrowind is good to this day
Oblivion was ok at the time, shit now
Skyrim has a gorgeous world, but it's a trash game
>>
KQ6 is a good game.

Is there any other series that pulled something like this?
>KQ1-7 are light-hearted fairy tale-like point-and-click adventure games where you generally play as a member of King Graham's family
>KQ8 is a grimdark generic RPG where you play as a random and the only relation to the past games is that it mentions some names of people and places

AGI version was better.

The Neverhood series?
First game was an adventure, the direct sequel a platformer and the third game a low budget Japanese shovelware "sports" game.
