QueZTone Posted December 31, 2001 Share Posted December 31, 2001 Hey all Okay dunno if such a topic has existed yet but I'd love to see all the things that are done wrong in the newer eps. So stuff that doesn't fit the universe when you look back at what happened or was before in SMI or LCR. Also mention from which game you found the contradiction and compared to which game's happening it doesn't fit with. Thanks My first: EMI: Herman's on Monkey Island like he never left since SMI. But in LCR he was clearly not on Monkey Island but on Dinky Island.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmatz Posted December 31, 2001 Share Posted December 31, 2001 Mine... In LCR Guybrush had a beard/mustache at least growing, but, then in CMI, he had no facial hair and an EARRING! That's my contradiction... most disturbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trapezoid Posted December 31, 2001 Share Posted December 31, 2001 How about in MI2, when it all turns out to be a dream? That's a pretty long and detailed dream, including much humor and dialog that a young kid wouldn't be able to dream up. As much as it was hinted towards in MI2, it seems Ron hadn't even gotten the idea in MI1. Oh, and in EMI Elaine's voice is different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remi Posted December 31, 2001 Share Posted December 31, 2001 In MI2 Elaine said she'd quit her job as governor of Melee Island. In CMI the Voodoo lady told us she was the governor of Melee, Booty and Plunder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmatz Posted December 31, 2001 Share Posted December 31, 2001 That's probably because she quit being the goavernor of Melee to be the governor of Boty then Plunder... I don't see much there sorry :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trapezoid Posted December 31, 2001 Share Posted December 31, 2001 Oh, and in CMI there aren't any huge pixels anymore. And everybody actually talks instead of a bunch of text just popping up above their heads. And what's up with the whole voodoo thing? Sounds a bit fictional to me. I'm sure that contradicts something. And L. Ron Gilbert wasn't alive in pirate times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trapezoid Posted December 31, 2001 Share Posted December 31, 2001 Yes. And in all the games, Guybrush is obviously NOT BREATHING AT ALL. Watch his chest. No motion! It seems Guybrush can hold his breath for quite a bit longer than 10 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see much there sorry :| Well, I'll repeat what I said... In CMI the voodoo lady said Elaine was the governor of Melee, Booty and Plunder. And more importantly, where did the MIDI music go?

QueZTone Posted December 31, 2001 Author Share Posted December 31, 2001 aww shucks! you guys are turning this into a joke thread cmon be serious now ahh what the heck, if you can't beat 'em join 'em..so in EMI the pirate world turned into a semi 3d world, while the originals were obviously a flat 2d dream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabez Posted December 31, 2001 Share Posted December 31, 2001 How profound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huz Posted December 31, 2001 Share Posted December 31, 2001 In the second game, the action was interrupted much more frequently by a mysterious "please insert disk..." message than in the first. By contrast, these messages disappeared almost entirely in the last two games. I didn't see a single one of these messages in the first two games once I got a hard disk drive. Whoa man, how did I affect that cute piraty world by adding a piece of hardware to my Amiga?!?! Also: when you're chasing the storekeeper in MI1, you can spend as long as you want swapping disks and he doesn't get away from you. It's not natural!

Schmatz Posted December 31, 2001 Share Posted December 31, 2001 And, if you don't add the flower to the meat in SOMI, and give the meat to the poodles, the meat seems to reappear over and over again in the kitchen. I don't know about you guys, but I didn't see ONE cow on the island, and I thought no pirates left the island nor CAME TO the island... it's a mystery....

dark spirit Posted December 31, 2001 Share Posted December 31, 2001 Originally posted by Schmatz Yeah, in CMI she sounded kinda British with the accent and all, but in EMI the accent disappeared... I think the british accent sounded a lot more piratey than the EMI accent, in EMI she sounded too american to be a pirate, I mean no offence to the USA (because you guys invented cable TV so without you I'd just be sitting on my sofa watching *yuch* terrestrial TV!) but you're not the most piratey sounding nation!

Schmatz Posted January 1, 2002 Share Posted January 1, 2002 So saying that she sounded British and since Pirates sound like that then you should be honored to be called pirates... I complimented you lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spoon_man Posted January 1, 2002 Share Posted January 1, 2002 In SMI you find in the ships diary says that herman was the first mate and they both landed on Monkey Island through Hermans cooking. In EMI Herman tells the story of being elaines captain grandfather being chased by LeChuck and ending up washed up on Monkey Island . . . I think that's what he said I've only played through the whole game once because it was so . . . so . . . bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmatz Posted January 1, 2002 Share Posted January 1, 2002 Through all the games, Guybrush has these growths spurts and then shrinks again! SOMI and LCR he was about the same height, then in CMI he got huge! Then in EMI he shrunk... strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BooJaka14m Posted January 1, 2002 Share Posted January 1, 2002 In CMI Guybrush is a lot taller than the previous games yet his clothes from SMI still seem to fit him and even though he's dumped in chicken grease and thrown into a cannon they never get dirty.
