Whoa! You are actually the first person I know that likes EFMI the best! What makes you like it so much?

Ha! Ha! I love this one:

Good point! Maybe that's why it felt more stale the second time. I actually loved the 3rd chapter of MI1. I really felt like I was stranded on a strange island and like I was slowly going mad (like Herman). Also I think it helps that it wasn't structured like chapter 1. Of course there are less people to talk to, but I love that it gives you all those places and things to explore and toy around with. I was a bit dissapointed in my last playthrough about how short the sections after the four map pieces were. It felt kinda like the bulk of the game comprised of that chapter and after that you're already really close to the end. It just didn't feel as epic to me because of it. (Fun fact: after my last playthrough I've actually changed my favourite Monkey Island game to SOMI instead of MI2. Funny how time can still make me change my opinion on things.)

I'm really interested to how this game will be structured. I replayed both MI1 and MI2 last year, and upon replaying part 2 I felt the map collecting chapter wasn't as good as I remembered. I love the fact that the game really opens up at this point, but all in all it's pretty much a generic "complete an x number of chores to continue" chapter. Of course by now this is a common trope, (I recently replayed the TellTale Sam and Max games too, and boy is it overused,) but I felt MI1 makes a wise design choice by doing that in the first chapter, rather than the second. I love that Ron is constantly thinking of ways to improve and evolve the genre, so I'm really curious to how he'll structure this game.

They recorded almost unlimited versions of “I can’t pick that up”.

And I even played this! Gimme back my spot in the zone, @Huz! Eep ook ack! I failed at #Mojole. 💛🖤🖤🖤💛 🖤🖤💛💛💛 💛💛🖤💛🖤 🖤🖤💛💛🖤 💚💚🖤💚🖤 💚💚💚💚🖤 https://funzone.mixnmojo.com/Mojole/

I’m not sold on it either. Frankly I would have preferred Indy to stay with the original trilogy. Those movies are all awesome in their own right. Spielberg, Lucas and Ford were the right people at the right time, lightning in a bottle. You can’t just replicate something like that (although that doesn’t stop Hollywood from trying). Also Harrison Ford is pushing 80, I question how believable he’ll be jumping, falling and kicking and punching all over the place, (and I shudder at the thought of a CGI de-aged Ford.) Maybe I sound like an old grouch, but Indy’s my favourite hero of all time. I’d hate to see them ruïn him (arguably a second time). Is it his last soundtrack before retiring? That IS awesome! I hope it’ll be as epic as Last Crusade and that the editing won’t be too fast, so he’ll really have time to create something beautiful in it’s own right!

Still in the Remi zone! 👕 I beat #Mojole and all I got was this stupid t-shirt. 3/6 💚💛🖤🖤🖤 💚🖤🖤🖤💛 💚💚💚💚💚 https://funzone.mixnmojo.com/Mojole/

Another interesting comment by Ron: Seems like, even though he would’t have chosen that himself, he’s accepting it as canon.

Comments are back on too, and here’s an interesting tidbit by Ron: (Warning: could be considered a spoiler)

But that's in two weeks! How are we gonna keep this thread alive until then?!?

Yeah! Still got the Remi wires! 👕 I beat #Mojole and all I got was this stupid t-shirt. 3/6 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 💚🖤🖤🖤💛 💚💚💚💚💚 https://funzone.mixnmojo.com/Mojole/

Half of this statement is definitely true, Monkey Island 3a never existed.

Thanks for doing so. And I’m sorry this happened. @KestrelPi, buy this guy a coffee! He just caught a bullet for you. 😉

I don’t read it as such. When he’s saying “don’t be afraid to enrage your audience”, I think what he means is, don’t let expectations of others cloud the idea you have. In a time in which he has to close down the comments to his blog because of other peoples expectations, this rules more true than ever. I agree with the rest he says about art having to be challenging.

To be honest, I accidentaly pushed the “back” button in my browser. I was down to my last try… 👕 I beat #Mojole and all I got was this stupid t-shirt. 1/6 💚💚💚💚💚 https://funzone.mixnmojo.com/Mojole/

First things first: please put my quoted comment in spoiler tags, I wouldn’t want people who haven’t played the ending to read that. Back on the off topic: Anyway, it’s nice to hear a different opinion on it. Some things resonate differently with different people I guess. With me it even changes with the way I go into a product. My opinions have been known to change based on second viewings/playthroughs. Back on the on topic: I’m curious to what Ron will come up with this time! I doubt RMI will end in any way that we expect! This will be very likely! And maybe in 10 years we’ll be talking about how the MI7 writers came up with a huge monologue by LeChuck where they try to overexplain the ending Ron set them up with. 😉
