I remember liking this shit:

But i haven't played one in years.  16-bit graphics games are making a comeback too, games like terraria and spelunky.

well the older games were point and click because it was either impossible or very difficult to make anything better back in those days, their vision back then were games like skyrim and fallout 4 for example now... so why r they still using '80s tools to make games in 2015 lmfao

games like neverhood and monkeyisland are great, but I am sure the developers behind those games were imaging if one day they could make those same universes and plots play in realtime environments like in skyrim

what I am trying to say is... maybe all the point and click games in steam are just a nice cash grab from lazy game makers ^^

they know people will buy point and click games just for nostalgic reasons, and making a point and click game must be the easiest type of game u could do in game business... so easy money xD

Nah, I disagree man, if their vision was to have something similar to Fallout 4 / Skyrim, they probably would have made the games either birds eye view like SNES Zelda, or something similar graphically to Zelda 64.

If you ask me, the whole magic behind MonkeyIsland is the point and click system, choosing options, discovering items etc, it's nothing like Fallout or Skyrim, and like HHC said:

k, but I think it's a dumb trend, many indie game developers are not making point and click games because they love the genre, but because it's failproof money grab

Well, I dunno man, indie games make virtually no money, it's not exactly a goldrush is it?

I personally think indie games are great, they focus on plot, gameplay, characters, instead of purely graphics...

However, there is a lot of garbage out there too...

Don't agree Husk, it's maybe easy to make, but it's a common trend in Indie: make old-school games.

Partly because the creators wanna make a game like that, but also cause people wanna buy that shit.

Even I bought one the other day when it was really cheap, even though I never played oldschool p&c.

I like games like that. I have a PS3, but 90% of the titles available are the same type of 3D action-shooter-RPG kind of shit. I prefer simple addictive games over needlessly complicated superdoopagraphics 1.000.0000$ budget kinda games. That or sandbox games that let you manipulate/mod/create.

yeah I know, I was just frustrated:

I think why I made this topic is because I usually buy humblebundles... and after I alrdy purchased the bundle I notice only then that all of the games were p&c and I really don't like this genre, so I end up paying from games that I am not going to play... so I have bad memories with p&c because of humblebundle... so I have been long annoyed whenever I see p&c games on steam

so is there anything we learnt? I shouldn't make new topic if I am annoyed? but it's healthy to talk about things... so maybe what we learnt is that I should check what games are in humblebundle before I pay for those games????

Who buys a humblebundle before checking what games are actually in it?

Seems to me you gotta play some more point and click games cause you obviously dunno what the f* ur clickin on.

You know there IS an official 3D Monkeyisland? it is the 4th MonkeyIsland game called "Escape from MonkeyIsland", released in 2000. Once you get a hang of the gameplay, it's fun actually. I myself like the cartoonish MIs more, but MI4 is worth giving a shot. :)

On the subject I DO like point and click games. Yep even in 2015!
