Scummbuddy

I would like to mention that with all my disliking of the game, it does have some genuinely good parts to it. Voice acting, the music, the backgrounds, good humor, and some good puzzles... it was just lacking for me in most of the storyline where it was less of a pirate tale but half real estate shenanigans and half gubernatorial drama. We waited quite a while for another Monkey Island game only to get Guybrush acting as an arbitrator to intergalactic trade deals instead of being a cool Jedi. Or something..., I stopped paying attention when I had to bother to figure out what "gubernatorial" meant way back when I was still in school. But it kind of was Phantom Menace all over again. Sure there were cool parts of it (pod racing and those sweet Roger droids) but it lost its way. Back on topic, I wouldn't really take all this Dominic and Ron teasing on Twitter as "The Secret is GOING to be revealed". I would definitely tamp your expectations. If it does, and it's satisfying, all the better. I'm assuming it won't be revealed, as to just add to the games allure, and I'm just looking for a good game and a good time. I believe I'm safe in expecting that.

I think there's a difference between "not liking change/growth" and "not expecting a game to divert from established canon and gameplay". If ReMI has Insult Swordfighting but the gameplay is turn-based RPG fighting vs wordplay puzzles, there would be backlash. With Monkey Kombat, we lost the humorous wit and it devolved into "Ook Eek Ahh". Thrilling stuff I tell ya... CMI and Full Throttle had ship battles and bike-fights but it was well part of the themes of the game (and could be skipped for those who didn't want to play them) but seeing a giant robotic monkey that came out of nowhere and contradicted the Monkey skeleton from the first game, now with Voltron vibes ( and where some monkeys can talk English all of the sudden??) was very off putting for me. Maybe if it was my first played game of the series I would be less of a nay-sayer, but it was too far of a step out of believable within the story and settings we've been shown up until that point.

I think you mean to already exclude Zak and MM, correct? I mean, those can be detailed here. One from MM is if you get one teen killed and another is stuck in prison, I believe, the third teen could find themselves in a dead-end. Zak, I think you can run out of money for plane tickets? Those can be better detailed later, but for your MI point, I don't recall the MI treasure map being an ingredient. Is it?

"Use" "dead chicken" "with" "circus tent pulley".

Y'all waiting on Freelance Police while us olbies are waiting on Plunge Through Space... Edit: And now that I've read it, I am so happy we were able to connect with Steven Chen and have him answer some great questions. I wish him and his team luck with the VR work in the future.

Hmm, I'm quite curious as to who was selling those Fate of Atlantis posters and to what level of official artwork they are using... or "borrowed" from @Laserschwert

Atlantis Confirmed!!1!

I'm in as well

Acceptable?! It's hilarious and captivating.

What are Wally's unused lines?! More whining about being captured? What a baby...

Yeah, I mean, how would we even fit the bats in there??

Hit the Road Pens and Pins? That's easy-schwag. I'm just mad I didn't buy the ridiculous embossed plastic/painted mold of the Hit The Road cover that was presumably used as advertising with gamestores when I had the chance on eBay some 15 years ago. I probably have the saved pics from the listing on my computer at home...

Wally went through a lot to stay alive between MI2 and CMI. He broke. His voice broke. Soon his fake beard will latch through grime alone. He's bound to have changed. Joking aside, I need to actually hear his MI2 performance for comparison. It can't be that different, right...?

@ThrikI'm curious of your running list. I'd be curious if they could be addressed with more fan patches.

@Jake who do I blame for Morgan stealing my heart?

@CalisDraws Of the pop-up on answer, related to the Maniac Mansion franchise, then an ex-employee at LucasArts, and then just an offhand reference to an old NES game for fun.

Swapping disks (in moderation) is such a fun additional part of the old gaming experience. I miss that, and modem sounds.

I'm not the two-to-three here who made the joke originally, but I certainly wanted to see it.

Have you not ordered the 2 Boss Fight Studios sets of figures of Sam and Max?

Jojo surely makes sense. Voodoo Lady and Stan have in-game continuity in MI3 explaining why we may not see them in this game. Or maybe we'll finally meet El Carlo as the baddie.

Exactly. Elaine could very well exist in her reality, whereas Guybrush and Chuckie could very well be real kids that stumbled into a alternate dimension. I'm mostly of the idea that as soon as Guybrush landed under Big Whoop he was instantly within a spell cast by LeChuck, and Guybrush played along perfectly to plan.

I'm curious to see their ideas for the case files for Season 3. I ordered both of the Sam and Max boxers that went up for sale today. Looking forward to those and to the announcement of the Season 3 remaster!

He did say its tagline was going to be: The secret revealed or your money/monkey back!

The Seacrets of Monkey Island. It's about a Jamaican bar and night club in Maryland, USA expanding into Deep in the Caribbean.
