A classic modern adventure game.

I really need to get some cash for Dreamfall soon...

Mayboy · 11-09-2006, 09:10 AM

Surely the greatest game ever!

Psychocandy · 11-09-2006, 09:44 AM

Ah, one of my favourites... It's a shame I didn't manage to enjoy Dreamfall, but I'm really very fond of TLJ.

MadTricks · 11-09-2006, 09:46 AM

TLJ is great game...

Haven't played Dreamfall yet, But im 90% sure im going to disappoint...

MdaG · 11-09-2006, 10:42 AM

It's an ok game, but I felt the story was cheesy on more than one occation...

*edit*

Spoiler:
The parts with the "Ewoks", alchemist and Hans and Gretel witch comes especially to mind.

Dreamfall seems to be one of the most talked about games in quite a while, i'll have to get it soon. Looks interesting and nice screenshot!

AFGNCAAP · 11-09-2006, 12:01 PM

The screenshot is taken from original The Longest Journey, though.

QFG · 11-09-2006, 12:15 PM

I'm pretty sure it's not... the bar in TLJ never never viewable at that resolution, or from that angle. In TLJ, the bar was either on the far left (when you entered from the door) or in the back right, when the boss and jukebox and sofa were visible. This is definitely Dreamfall.

Kurufinwe · 11-09-2006, 12:19 PM

No, it's from a cutscene in TLJ (the first evening, I think, when April can choose to stay at the Border House or go and at the Fringe).

Squinky · 11-09-2006, 12:28 PM

And to think I've still not yet played either game, even after meeting Ragnar Tornquist...

RLacey · 11-09-2006, 01:21 PM

Much, much better than the sequel. And a good game, if a little long-winded at times.

I kinda interesting that some think that that screenshot is from Dreamfall.. TLJ is my favorite game of all time (so far at least) but I still think that the graphics are dated now..

I've still not come half way through Dreamfall. It just doesn't catch me like TLJ did, making me play for over 12 hours straight..
And I'm really bad at sneaking..

Edit: oh and the pic must be from a cutscene, I can't remember that start, even though I think I know witch specific cutscene it is, but April doesn't look like that when you play her..

QFG · 11-09-2006, 07:14 PM

Wow! Totally fooled me...

Monroeski · 11-09-2006, 08:44 PM

I'm amazed that some people think that's from Dreamfall. The graphics in that were much better than in that screenshot.
