And also current games are mostly recycled ideas and fall into tried and tested genres - FPSes, RPGs, with exactly the same format.

Why did I ever miss out on those two?But on a ratio, aren't there quite of number of immersive compelling books as opposed to good storylines in games, which I can barely count on the fingers on one of my hands?

Unfortunately they never really tapped its full potential. Marketing also really hurt it but not in the same way that Dreamcast faltered.

Telltale did an amazing job picking up both franchises that Lucasarts stupidly destroyed in their bullshit obsession with all things Star Wars. They probably turned out so great because a few of the Lucasarts Adventure guys jumped to Telltale a while ago.I'm really happy that there were people dedicated enough to revive the Adventure genre because it was all but dead a few years ago.
