lilguybrush Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 I figured that ther's probably quite a few Monkey Island fans out there so why not sign this petition and speak out. Who knows, if we get enough signatures maybe the bearded one will do something about it. Please share this page with everyone you know as the more signature obviously mean more chance of Guybrush's further adventures. http://www.petitiononline.com/monkey5/petition.html ps. I managed to resist mentioning Guybrush's beard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien426 Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Firstly, (online) petitions never change anything. Proof: Bring back Sam and Max 2 and Full Throttle 2, Continue Development of Sam & Max 2, Sam and Max 2 Freelance Police removal of cancellation, We want Sam & Max 2! and We want Sam and Max 2 back! Secondly, who wants another part of Monkey Island?! With LucasArts' current policy it would suck even more than EMI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, it wasn't the best MI game out ever, but MI2 was pure geneous! No fan would say that EMI sucked, it simply didn't! Besides, they have already kind of promised a Monkey Island 5. The Voodo Lady Prophecised it in EMI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Isaac Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Wow the Sam & Max 2 one got very big. After Sam & Max 2 was cancelled, one of the LucasArts people said that they were listening to our views that we emailed in. So it's worth a try . Except I think it would be better if another company bought the rights to MI, because LucasArts don't seem to do adventure games anymore. Or maybe it would be better just to play new adventure games that come out (Psychonauts, Bone...). They'll probably end up being just as good.

Scummbuddy Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Originally posted by AirMan No fan would say that EMI sucked how many times would you like me to say it. EFMI sucked. It was good for the first people to adventures, or the first people to the series, but almost all would be surely dissapointed when playing the originals, and then comparing the previous to the last. But I'm not here to discuss EMI, just to diss, since you think no one can say it sucked. Well, it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Udvarnoky Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 A lot of MI fans thought EMI sucked for whatever reason. One can't pretend it was extraordinarily well-received within the established fan base. Originally posted by Scummbuddy It was good for the first people to adventures, or the first people to the series You think so? I think newcomers could start off with an easier game than EMI. EMI is big and full of hard puzzles. It's an example of a great, red-blooded adventure game, but I'd think that a new adventure gamer would probably do good to start off with a game like Full Throttle or another game that was a bit shorter or more forgiving than EMI. But anyway. Why the hell would you want people to make EMI their first MI game? A ton of the injokes are references to previous Monkey Island games, and therefore only people familar with them would appreciate them. Don't get me wrong, I think EMI is great regardless of MI background, and I have seen people successfully introduced to the series with it, but to go so far as to recommend it to be played first with all the back references, old characters, jokes, locations, etc.? Surely that wouldn't be ideal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien426 Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Some people use walkthroughs. Most of the injokes are so bad that I think you may find them funnier on their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After Sam & Max 2 was cancelled, one of the LucasArts people said that they were listening to our views that we emailed in. So it's worth a try . Hence why I'm now playing Sam n Max 2... oh wait. Truth is, no LucasArts people ever got back to me, and I haven't heard of anyone getting a reply from LA after that fiasco. And being a true fan of Monkey island, I can safely say (again) that EMI was an alright adventure game, but a suckass (and I use that term lightly) Monkey Island game. Frankly, it was wrong, Guybrush looked all wrong, Elaine sounded like she had her own talk show, there simply wasn't enough Murray and Let's not get started on LeChuck.
