Cedric the owl.

Graham watch out! A POISONOUS snake!

[–] 6nk06@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago

That owl was annoying when I was a kid. I hated it too.

I'm gonna go with Kaepora Gaebora, the owl from OOT.

Would you like me to repeat that? Yes.......

If Ocarina of Time counts as adventure game, then yes, that owl is despised, even though it only wants to help.

[–] Asetru@feddit.org 4 points 3 weeks ago

Wally from Monkey Island

[–] DosDude@retrolemmy.com 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Navi from ocarina of time. "Hey! Listen!"

[–] Nima@leminal.space 0 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (3 children)

Ocarina of time is not an adventure game.

edit: I'm talking about point and click. I'd classify ocarina of time as a skill-based rpg

[–] DosDude@retrolemmy.com 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Not a point and click adventure. But I would still classify it as an adventure game. Wikipedia classifies it as an action adventure.

[–] Nima@leminal.space 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

it's not quite what I think of when I read 'adventure game'. I think point and click and puzzles. not skill based action ones.

[–] DosDude@retrolemmy.com 1 points 3 weeks ago

Understandable. It feels kind of wrong for me too. But technically right.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Wow. That's some confidence. Utterly incorrect, but damn impressive confidence there.

[–] Nima@leminal.space -1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

relax. this is a gaming sub. not a reddit shitfight.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

You declare your opinion as justification for redefining a widely used term, and when called on it, choose patronizing? Who's on Reddit here? 🫣

[–] Nima@leminal.space -1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

patronizing? tf? we're talking about ocarina of time. like just casually chatting.

is everything an argument now? o_O

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Only because you made a ridiculous claim and keep trying to distract instead of owning that simple fact. OoT is an adventure game, regardless of your personal decision to use the term differently from the rest of the planet. Even now. 🤦🏼‍♂️

[–] Nima@leminal.space 0 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Wikipedia says action-adventure. but I'm fairly sure this sub is more for the traditional type of adventure game.

"ridiculous claim". dude. please.

I just said its not an adventure game. I think its more of an RPG than an adventure game. that doesn't make me a wackjob.

just take it easy. if you believe its an adventure game than it is.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Saying "it isn't" an adventures game is not the same as saying you don't personally define it as one, thanks.

Next.

[–] Nima@leminal.space 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

lol. toxicity for the sake of being toxic. have a great day, bud.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

If that's as far as you're willing to allow your cognition to reach, I guess.

The Adoring fan, is a hated good person.

[–] absentbird@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Good person hated by fans: Glottis from Grim Fandango, Wally from Monkey Island, April Ryan from The Longest Journey

[–] Die4Ever@retrolemmy.com 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I thought everyone loved Glottis? Lol

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 2 points 3 weeks ago

Manny you promised!

[–] Lembot_0005@lemy.lol 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Wally? He never had enough screentime. Yes, kind of a whiney little cartographer, but who really hates him?

[–] absentbird@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Idk, I was struggling to think of characters.

[–] Lembot_0005@lemy.lol 3 points 3 weeks ago

You should get a false beard and try yourself as a pirate instead :)

[–] Agent_Karyo@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

April Ryan is hated by fans (as opposed to even mixed views)?

[–] absentbird@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Idk, honestly it's a hard box to fill. I do know people who find her annoying, but it's hard to count them as fans.

[–] Hozerkiller@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 weeks ago

Luther from Freddi Fish

[–] bluspoon@lemmy.world -3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Elizabeth from Bioshock Infinite.

Hey, stop looking at the guy shooting at you and take this thing I just found...

[–] Lembot_0005@lemy.lol 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

But she isn't hated. I even remember she was praised for non-stucking in doors and furniture. The engine just teleported her to the player in case something happened.

[–] bluspoon@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

She was the low point playing the game for me, assumed others also felt the pain.
