I'm sooo disappointed

[Muad]

Greetings,

 

I mean no, the game is great, just as i expected from this great serie. But .... i can't believe i already finished it !

Only 3 days ! (ok i play a lot) but that's inredible ! 1Lucasarts remember 1 & 2 ? how long they were ?

Oh geeze if it wouldn't be for the bug that made the game go really slow sometimes during monkey combats, i would have even done it in 2 days.

 

MO is the best game in the world, if you don't make one each year, at least make it last WAY MORE LONG !

 

Thanks

Muad

ok... it WAS short

 

(thats seems to be a limitation of the Grim engine... its backgrounds & other stuff take up lots of space)

 

but the main thing to consider is:

3 Days? *Cough* Hintbook *Cough*

 

Then again maybe you're exceptionally bright... I dunno, but if you *DID* use outside help, consider *THAT* the reason for the short play time...

 

As for MI1. Me and a friend beat it in a long 1 day/1 night session. Of course, I got MI while I was High School, while the rest of you prolly got into it much earlier. But at any rate, given enough effort *ANY* adventure game can be completed within 24hrs, it's just a matter of persistance...

You: What is the Secret of Monkey Island?

Me: The secret is, is that there is no secret.

You: Huh? But what about Big Whoop, the Three-Headed Monkey, and/or The Big Honking Monkey Robot?

Me: Oh *THOSE*. Well you really can't call them secrets now, can you?

You: Huh?

Me: Well everyone knows about them now, don't they?

You: Well I guess...

Me: See, there you go. Since they're not secrets anymore, there is *NO* Secret of Monkey Island. So what has this taught you?

You: Never to spend, $39.99 on a computer game.

Me: Tsk, Tsk, BAD MONKEY!!! *Whack!* Besides, that was more or less a direct steal from an answer to the first Monkey Island game!

I agree *cough* hintbook *cough*

"So, how di you get up there?"

There might be another reason why MI1 and MI2 feels longer (and bigger). The reason I felt that way is because I first finished MI1&2 on an Amiga without a harddisk (wich means swapping 4 disks on MI1 and 11 disks on MI2), and now as I have got a harddrive on my Amiga it takes a lot less time than it used to.

 

Although, Monkey 2 has a lot more actual puzzles than the other games (except maybe MI1), and it is a pretty huge game for it's time, so there is no excuse for LucasArts to produce such a short game, where most of the time is spent on running (more than CMI because of the interface) and talking. So there.

 

I loved the game, though... till the bitter end. But one small thing I didn't like is the wrecking of the Great Monkey Head (isn't that how the Island got it's name (Monkey Island)? What're they gonna call it now?
