Jurassic Park 2?

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag?

Home Improvement?

And AnasAbdin is right!
It's Bunraku.

Sorry for the late reply. I've only just now gotten access to my computer.

Over to you AnasAbdin.

That was a game?
It just looks like a really well drawn picture!

Well if it's an awesome game, I should look it up.

Correct!
Your turn Amayirot Akago.

I think often that swearing and other vulgar stuff is just jarring and pulls me out of the game when it's overdone. More often than not it seems so forced, light sprinkles of this stuff is plenty I don't play games to be shocked I do it for fun.

So definitely true. The best example I can think of is the Thief series. In Thief 4, they stopped using the made up swear words (like Taffer) that had been prominent in the series up to that point, and started to use real swear words, it suddenly destroyed the charm of the series. Not only that, but the sheer quantity of swearing, kind of ruined the immersion for me as well.

Showing them being these awful people is funny to me, because it's clear that everybody else around them (well, not everybody, of course, but the majority) are more in line with how I feel about the world. When I play Beavis & Butt-head, I get the feeling that the two main characters are the sexists, the problematic people. When I play Leisure Suit Larry 5, I get the feeling that it's Al Lowe himself. Doesn't mean this is the truth, it's just how I feel.

While I've never played Leisure Suit Larry 5 or Beavis & Butt-head in Virtual Stupidity (the latter of which is on my to-play list) I do completely agree with you here.
As a matter of fact, I think what you described, is what makes or breaks anything comedy related for me.

I had no idea it was released for the Amiga. I played the Windows version.

Ok, how about this little gem.

[Knights]

Wait a minute!
I've play that game before!

It was some sort of multiplayer roguelike, and I found it about six years ago. I don't have the game anymore though, and I certainly can't remember the name, but I have definitely played that game!
Time to go find out it's name I guess.

EDIT:
And found it.
The game is called Knights.
I only had to look up multiplayer roguelike, and I found it instantly.

Is that Metal Gear Solid?
Or perhaps Rainbow Six?

As for the Alter Ego game. I've played it!
Although that ending. Damn, I don't think I've ever seen a more emotional ending in my whole life. When you get to the end of the game... that's it. The end. No game over, no "This is how you did!", no score, no nothing. You just... die!
Just like in real life. Kind of depressing really, especially with how my first character lived her life.

Is it Footballer of the year?

I was about to forfeit my turn anyway so if you want to take it, Danvsare, go for it.

Really? Are you sure?
Well, ok then.
Thanks!

EDIT:
A second picture to make it a bit easier.

And here's a hint.
IMDb says the film was released in 2010, Rotten Tomatoes says the film was released in 2011.
Make of that what you will.

EDIT 2:
A third picture, since no one has even so much as made a guess yet.

Hopefully you can recognize that actor.
Also, this film is quite bad in my opinion (and according to the critics).

Aw damn, if I had been here a few hours earlier, I probably would've gotten that.
That wig is unmistakable!

Great film too. I should really watch it again.

Ah, AVGN The Movie.
That was a good movie (despite what some people may say), and I especially liked the review at the end.

MouseHunt?

Why does the main character in that game, look like the Guybrush Threepwood sprite from Monkey Island 2?

Woo hoo! Ark's back!

Hmm, is it Septerra Core?
I've only ever played a bit of that game, but that screenshot kind of looks like it could be a cutscene in it. Although I doubt I'm right.

Woah, that was fast!

Alright then, here's a screenshot:

If Ark comes back though, feel free to ignore this.



EDIT:
Another screenshot, and a hint.

As far as I know, this game is based on a series of (apparently somewhat popular) books.

I know that "Trope" and "Cliché" mean different things, but I have no idea how they're different, so I just use them as synonyms. I should really look into how they differ.

None the less, I agree with ThreeOhFour. It seems wrong to criticize something just because it's overdone. After all, I prefer humorous adventure games, and tend to avoid the more serious ones. Humour and adventure games, tend to go hand in hand for me. I can't imagine one without the other. So hearing so many people say that humour should practically be abandoned altogether in adventure games because it's overdone, is a little jarring.

What you should be criticizing, is whether or not something is being done simply because everyone else is doing it. For example, almost every adventure game nowadays has to include a forced reference to Monkey Island. Even Tales of Monkey Island included a forced reference to Monkey Island! THAT MAKES NO SENSE!!! And yet it happened.

If you're doing something simply because everyone else is doing it. You're sacrificing originality for a pitiful attempt at gaining more popularity. Unless of course you're doing it to make fun of everyone else doing it. In which case you're making a parody. But you get what I mean.
