Title: Dreamcatcher Split
Post by: Louisiana Night on August 31, 2004, 09:30:11 PM
That reminds me, were they the same company at one time, or was Dreamcatcher just the publisher? ???

Im pretty sure they're the same company, but it might be worth looking into. For some really strange reason, they've been trying action/strategy games lately.... So far, no success. ...Maybe they are seperate... Why would an "Adventure Game Company" make action games? Who knows, Im all confused now!  ???

They're seperate now. Dreamcatcher's the one making budget action/RPG games.

Ok. If they split, than I still think they were one company at one point.  8)

Either that, or their contract ended.  :-\

Harbringer was kinda interesting. Ive always been a fan of the rarely used "sci-fi rpg" style... It was a little too linear, though...

As for the Adventure Game Company games.... Three words.
Get A Plot!!

(Syberia wasnt too bad...)

I never played either of them(I've played other people's Adventure/Dreamcatcher games, and wasn't impressed).

Syberia, IMHO, was the best of their adventure games. Its plot was pitiful, but atleast it was coherent (unlike their other games) and the dialogue was fun.

With that said, their games are drop dead gorgeous... and some of them have decent puzzles.
