Oh no, not another auteur.

I always liked the logo.

Everything he touches is instant gold in my mind, even though not always perfect.

You forgot psychonautsclembo1990

which, ironicly, is his best game :P

I 100% freaking agree. Grim Fandango, Psychonauts and the Monkey Island games were all amazing and Brutal Legend just looks like pure gold, 64km of heavy metal themed open world awesome with plenty of lols.

Considering all his other games were adventure games, that's pretty bad.

[QUOTE="naval"] I don't remember all his games , but from what I remember (Monkey Island 2, Grim Fandango, Day of Tentacle, ) Physconauts was his worst game --- all of them had interesting story and humor and interesting game play, but while pshyconauts had the first two it was lacking in the gameplay areanaval

Considering all his other games were adventure games, that's pretty bad.

What I meant was that you said Psychonauts was lacking in gameplay compared to his other games but all his other games are adventure, which aren't known for their gameplay, which is quite harsh.

Dude, Miyamoto can only wish that he could make something as cool as Grim Fandango....

miyamoto's games are blockbusters and many of the characters that he has created are some of the biggest faces of gaming

tim schafer on the other hand..well..his games don't sell. I doubt very few people outside of gaming forums know who he is.

Say Tim Schafer to a PC gamer and they'll grin with glee thinking of Monkey Island, Grim Fandango, and Day of the Tentacle, say his name to a console gamer and they'll cock their head like a confused puppy. Im_single

:D

he is an adventure game god, responsible for some of my favourite games of all time

Nope. Not even close.IronBass

Psychonauts, Escape from Monkey Island, and Grim Fandango is some of the best games of all time. I agree here.sSubZerOo

He didn't touch EFMI - he wrote the first two games, which were significantly better.

Anyway, Tim Schafer may be a gaming god, and everything he touches is instantly brilliant...but he's nowhere near as successful as Miyamoto. That's the main difference.

You SERIOUSLY need to get a PC and play Full Throttle, its amazing. (Day of the Tentacle was also pretty good).
