Telltale Games

Armakuni · 09/21/2011, 10:52 am

I think the deciding factor here is nostalgia, more often than not... in my case, that's probably the case as I find myself enjoying them about equally, though in different ways.
I suspect it's because I feel more nostalgic about Kings Quest 5, as I was really young when I played that one and so I played it for very long.

However, when looking at the games as 'objectively' as I can, I'd have to say I think Kings Quest 6 is the better game... it just seems much more thought out and well designed. The storyline definitely is much better and more interesting, KQ5 is like the previous games that really were mainly simple treasure hunts and not something primarily played for engaging storylines.

I guess that's maybe why many people prefer Kings Quest 5, as even if we had all agreed Kings Quest 6 is the better game, Kings Quest 5 is still undoubtably the most traditional Kings Quest type of game.

Ignorance is no excuse.

Basically what I hear you saying is that you don't like the KQ6 voice work as much as KQ5's because you don't know better.

Nah. I'm saying I like KQ5s voices better because they don't make me strangle a kitten.

and I like KQ6's better because it doesn't make me want to shoot every owl I find, or run screaming from the room as during the ants' haystack-search song for fear I'll die of embarrassment.
