Gabez Posted February 19, 2002 Posted February 19, 2002 Is that the evil version? And it dosn't matter if it already exists, because there's bound to be an infinite amount of interpriations surrounding the concept. What I don't understand, though, is why everyone seems to call it 2.5 - sounds suspiciously like a maths equation, if you ask me. Monkey Island 2½: Sub-title here sounds a lot better.
elTee Posted February 19, 2002 Posted February 19, 2002 Mine was called: Monkey Island 2.5: Escape From Dinky Island. Thats why I got all crazy when EMI was announced. I freaked out in a forum somewhere. Maybe it was the old mojo one.
DODSalesManager Posted February 22, 2002 Posted February 22, 2002 I think a Monkey Island 5 would be fun to play. If they do, i hope it is in the animated style of CMI and no more Monkey Kombat. I really didnt like that. The best line from EMI? "Its the door to our bedroom, hee hee hee hee!" -DoD
elTee Posted February 22, 2002 Posted February 22, 2002 Darnn, that game was reasonably well made, and really bad. It wasn't a game, it was an interactive video. For a click-and-play game, though, its fantastic.
Navhead Posted February 22, 2002 Posted February 22, 2002 Originally posted by Gabez Y'know, point and click CAN work in 3-D - look at Discworld Noir. Or The Longest Journey.

Gabez Posted February 23, 2002 Posted February 23, 2002 Actually that's where you're HORRIBLY wrong Trapezoid! The first time you look at the door Guybrush says "That's the door to our bedroom! Tee hee hee!", but the second time it's "That's the door to our bedroom. Ooooooh yeah".
Trapezoid Posted February 23, 2002 Posted February 23, 2002 Really? I don't remember any "tee hee" at all. It's always been "ohhh yeahhh" for me.
Huz Posted February 23, 2002 Posted February 23, 2002 There definitely was "tee hee hee". I thought it was the worst joke ever and didn't try it a second time, thus missing the fact that it wasn't so bad after all. That line has stuck in my mind as one of the most hated lines ever, so it really would have been beneficial for me to hear the second one!
Gabez Posted February 23, 2002 Posted February 23, 2002 Oh, I don't think it's THAT bad! It tells us something about Guybrush's character. That said, you would never have got the SOMI or Mi2 Guybrush to say something like that.
Huz Posted February 23, 2002 Posted February 23, 2002 Indeed, Gabez. I hope it was deliberate that Guybrush became an annoying prat in EFMI. If not, bah to whoever "did" his "lines".
Trapezoid Posted February 23, 2002 Posted February 23, 2002 Wait, if the big secret behind MI1 and MI2 was that Guybrush was a child, why complain when in EMI he starts acting childish?
Sovaod Posted March 3, 2002 Posted March 3, 2002 Which previous characters would you like to see return in Monkey Island 5? Mine are as follows: Gybrush Threepwood (of course) Elaine Marley Voodoo Lady LeChuck Largo LaGrande Murray Bob Bart & Fink Carla & Otis Melee Island Lookout Wally B. Feed Cut-Throat Bill Edward Van Helgen Haggis McMutton Captain Dread The Cannibals of Monkey Island A Reformed Ozzy Mandrill Jojo Jr The Rest of the Monkeys Below are a list of characters that we definitely don't need: Stan the Ship Salesman Stan the Coffin Salesman Stan the Insurance Salesman Stan the Timeshare Salesman Any other Stan that LucasArts manage to conjure up
The Adventurer Posted March 3, 2002 Posted March 3, 2002 Dude it just wouldn't be an MI game with out My man Stan... Stan is a fundametal part of what makes MI great...No Stan? No Way!
Wossname Posted March 3, 2002 Posted March 3, 2002 I'm sick of LeChuck. I always hated cartoons and TV shows that had the same villain every week. Ozzy Mandrill was a cool villain - it's a pity they had to have LeChuck as well. That's the main problem with the latter two Monkey Islands - they were too self-referencial. Too much of bringing back old characters and locations and puzzles (Insult arm wrestling?), and not enough new and original material. Monkey Island 1 and 2 used source material like Pirates of the Caribbean, and old pirate movies, and Treasure Island, and things like that. Monkey Island 3 and 4 used as their main source material Monkey Island 1 and 2. You'll never create something better, or even equal, by looking only at the originals. Once you get through your list of people to bring back, you'll find it's time to ship the game, and you never had time or space to come up with anything new. Sorry 'bout the rant, but I've had that one coming for a long time.
Darnn Posted March 4, 2002 Posted March 4, 2002 Hmm... You have a point. I can see how you can say that. But it's far from true. CMI had tons of great original ideas, it just tossed them in a pot with a buch of old ones and mixed them up. EMI was filled with 'polished-up' ideas, but it took the whole... Thing... About culture a couple of steps further. Remi can elaborate on that, seeing as he enjoyed it a lot more (hey, it's only so funny when there isn't a StarBucks in Israel).
Alien426 Posted March 4, 2002 Posted March 4, 2002 ...and nobody told me to despise Oztralians. Blimey for knowing only this friendly feller C Shutt.
elTee Posted March 4, 2002 Posted March 4, 2002 All those Stans... its the same guy. Anyway, one good thing about EMI is that the guys who made it were like me - ie. they really hate Wally the stupid ****ing cartographer. He isn't funny OR likeable, so therefore shouldn't be there. I wish they hadn't talked Ron out of killing him off... If any character has to return is Estevan! Or Mancomb. Real pirates, they are.
