I Like Watching People Play Old Point-N-Click Adventure Games But I Hate Playing Them

Title says it all. It's some of my favorite second monitor content really. Just putting on a random playthrough of Gabriel Knight, Phantasmagoria, Space Quest etc. I've tried playing them myself and I don't have the patience for them but watching them is just...nice.

I'm especially fond of the full motion video games. They're such a nice little relic of the past.

So many games make reaching the max level frustrating with an monotonous xp grind etc, while Guild Wars 1 makes it almost impossible to not reach it during one of the campaigns.

I find it a bit of a shame that more games haven't tried Guild Wars' level/progression. You reach max level and distribute your stats accordingly but then it's all about gearing up and collecting the right skills for yourself and your party.

I feel like it's quite common for games to continually increase the level cap and messing up the game balance, making damage/stats incomprehensible to a lot of people (I suck at numbers).

All in all, I do not regret buying GW Reforged during this years spring sale. It's good fun. I wish more games had lower level caps like it.
