King's Quest V, Space Quest IV, and Quest for Glory IV were also the last Sierra games I played to the finish (and enjoyed.)
After that, I felt there was a noticeable drop in the quality of the hand-drawn artwork, and soon after, the 3D-for-the-sake-of-3D hysteria that overtook the industry and we had to suffer through a few years of 3D games that were uglier than the 2D games they "superseded."
See King's Quest 8: Mask of Eternity (at your own peril. I'll spare you the link.)
- BuckRogers 7y agoI stopped around that exact same timeframe. I never played KQ6 (supposedly it was the best one), or QFG5 (I did buy it though..). Space Quest 5 was pretty good, not quite as frustrating as SQ4 could be, and not quite as great- but not bad. Checkout Hero-U, from the creators of Quest for Glory. I truly believe it's the closest and best concept possible for a modern adventure game. KQ8 was horrendous, I had no interest in it even when it was released. Couldn't agree more that 2D art oftentimes makes more sense than 3D. Artistry is often forgotten in favor of technology. As long as the artist's vision is conveyed (which never includes "ugly"), I don't care if it's voxels, polygons or sprites.
