Yep.[Grey Matter's] music is INCREDIBLE.
All three of the Gabriel Knight games are available through GOG, and Gray Matter is available for $5 at Amazon (assuming you're based in the US). Those are the only ones I'd really call Jane Jensen games, but for other graphic adventures she's been involved with:What Jane Jensen Point n' Click games are currently available via digital distribution, and which that aren't are worth getting?
Believe there will be some news in the next few weeks about Face Noir's English translation. I like the Noir style, always works well for adventures.Originally Posted by dreamfall
I finally read up on some of the Gone Home previews- needless to say I'm more than excited! Also, did Face Noir ever get translated to English?
I still need to play that. I think this is my year to catch up on adventure games I never got a chance to play. I never got far in Sanitarium growing up, nor did I beat Gabriel Knight 2 or 3. I also have a lot of newer ones such as the Blackwell saga and Gemini Rue. Oh, and Grim Fandango! Here is to a year of old and new adventure games.Originally Posted by a secret-boss
Gonna make 2013 my adventure year.
Already playing Hollywood Monsters on iPhone
Only game I'd want from this bundle is Chaos on Deponia, I already own Deponia 1 and Dark Eye.Has the Daedalic bundle gone on sale yet, or has it ever? I want A New Beginning, The Dark Eye, and both Deponia games so I might as well just get the bundle, but I want to make sure I'm not potentially missing out on any deals.
I also started playing through Still Life and it's really good so far. I didn't expect the shift in story telling and it made the game more interesting than it would have been, which isn't to say I wasn't already enjoying it a ton.
It's probably in my top 10 overall list for the genre. It has it flaws, but it's well written, has a great puzzle structure, is challenging without becoming to irritating, and has great music. The 3d models aren't that pretty, but the locations are for the most part.Originally Posted by a secret-boss
How is Gray Matter?
Really wish there's a steam version
gog had a similar bundle (didn't have the second Deponia but had Whispered World) for a little more than $20, but I fear it is no longer available.Has the Daedalic bundle gone on sale yet, or has it ever?

A new beginning is $4.99 on GOG if that counts as less than $5Only game I'd want from this bundle is Chaos on Deponia, I already own Deponia 1 and Dark Eye.
Dunno if I'd like Edna and Harvey TBH, but if A new begging goes for under $5, I'll prob. get it lol.
Will get Jack Keane, it's only $2, but will get it by the time the sale/repeats end on Steam.
Goddammit, I knew I should have waited for the flash sales. Oh well, I only bought Dreamfall for $2 more, so it's not that bad. I just thought the game would never pop up. Hopefully the Daedalic bundle gets the flash sale treatment or something.L. Journey+Dreamfall are now under $8 on Steam:

It's a flash deal so go nab it quick~
Well we never expected Steam to troll us with repeat sales but...lol.Goddammit, I knew I should have waited for the flash sales. Oh well, I only bought Dreamfall for $2 more, so it's not that bad. I just thought the game would never pop up.
A Star Wars point and click - I can't think of one ever having existed. That would be great!“Coming from LucasArts, we always felt we could do a great Star Wars story game,” he said. “We also love the idea of building out a deeper story to a great game franchise—something like Half-Life stories or Halo stories.”
Interesting snippets from Telltale.

Whoa. You didn't play nearly long enough to get an opinion on that then. The game really picks up once you get to Metropol. Even before then it has some incredible characters and writing.I liked Gemini Rue but couldn't stand Primordia. The puzzles were unrewarding and the characters barely had a 'voice' of their own.
It's hard for me to articulate exactly what it was about the game that rubbed me the wrong way. I'd describe it as "aggressively mediocre". It wasn't a complete fiasco. It's wearing the same clothes as much, much better games, so when it trips up and is only "good enough", suddenly "good enough" feels kind of insulting.
I played up until I got the train working and then uninstalled it. I'd pick up Resonance, if you haven't already.
It might not be your cup of tea, by that point I was already completely amazed by the realism, attention to detail and atmosphere. Was amazing to just wander on the train trying to find more about all those characters, I felt like an Agatha Christie character ^^ The concert where you are now is awesome, it plays in real time and you basically can do everything you want.Originally Posted by CecilRousso
Been playing The Last Express for a couple of hours. Just reached the part where violinist and Kronos are playing for the other passengers. And I'm not really feeling it. Heard lot's of good things about the game from others, and adventuregamers.com listed it quite high on their top 100 list. But I'm finding it to be really boring quite frankly, with an interface that very seldom helps me.
Does it get any better than this, or is it just not a game for me? Any tips on how to play it (what to look for, what to think about) to make it more enjoyable? How long does it take to beat the game from where I am now?
