*Evil.Murray* Posted May 27, 2002 Share Posted May 27, 2002 Ok...most people seem to know, but for the mentally challenged and the intelligence impaired, here is why I think CMI is the best and EMI is (basically) the worst. Why CMI is the best: Murray was in it lots Lechuck was the main villian, not some australian geezer Sword fighting Really funny Really good plot Most like a movie Why is EMI (basically) the worst: Often confusing and frusterating keyboard controls Elaine's voice Ozzie Mandril Monkey Kombat Gaping plot holes Lack of Murray-ness Stan's un-involvement/voice The dumbest Climax I have ever seen (although CMI had little to offer here either) Anybody have more? Anybody have reasonable argument as to why EMI is better than CMI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest King Andrei Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 Why EMI sucked more than CMI, more reasons: -Guybrush runs errands for Elaine instead of pirating. -Guybrush is more and more of a loser. -Guybrush is a loser cause he never gets a weapon and KEEP it longer. (Then again, in CMI it was the same thing.) -3D somehow doesn't seem to be "BETTER" than 2D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheaday6 Posted May 29, 2002 Share Posted May 29, 2002 Until they get enough technology to make 3d look really good (they're almost there), 2d will always look better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sa sti, ca n-am auzit niciodata un joc sa fie in patru dimensiuni. De fapt n-am auzit nici macar de patru dimensiuni. Ce crezi ca este a patra dimensiune?

TimmyDMonkey Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 Hey! Elaines voice was much better, Elaine can`t be british and guybrush american. Elaines voice is good in MI4, she didnt have many lines to say though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feral Posted June 6, 2002 Share Posted June 6, 2002 Elaine was actually Cajun in CMI, although as both an Englishman and a Chicken (Chicken Cajun?), I was fooled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshi Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 well, english people were quite common in the carribbean back in that century (don't ask how i know) so elain was quite acurrate in comi. the complete change in emi was just stupid (another stupid thing in efmi) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al-back from the BigWhoop Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 backing up a lil, i think it really doesnt matter 2d or 3d, as long as it is with mouse.

Guest King Andrei Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 Hello, Iron Ma... I mean Irony Man! I mean Al-back from BW! How'd you like that nickname? Anyways, I thought you said you weren't gonna use this ";P" smile anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sam&maxballa629 Posted June 9, 2002 Share Posted June 9, 2002 EMI would of been a whole crap load better if it was a point and click game. MAKE MORE P&C GAMES!!!!!!*THE COW SAYS MOO* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meksilon Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 EMI sucks that's all there is to it. Here are the reasons why CMI sucks: * Cartoonish * Guybrush's new personality. * Elaine and Guybrush getting married * LeChuck has lost his thril (crap style/voice...) * The list continues... =mek= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshi Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 i dunno, i thought comi was actually quite good, apart frtom the whole guybrush getting married and all, that shouldn't have happened, he should have had to keep chasing after elaine. but it was good, not as good as the first two, but good all the same. i mean, who could have anticipated vegetarian cannibals.

Crazy_Taco Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 Originally posted by Andrei555 Oh, yeah! It was good alright! But CMI was better! I hear that. The cartoony style was better than some blocky 3-D crap. And MI6 (no secret agent jokes, it means monkey island) should go back to hand drawn, with point and click and lots and lots of scenes with murray in them. i mean monkey island 5, sry.

spoon_man Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 Elaines voice was exactly the same as Charity James's voice in Gabriel Knight 3. It worked really well with Grace but nor at all with Elaine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamNMax Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 What I thought was weird in CMI was that Elaine sounded like she was from England, but in EMI she sounded like a stressed out American. But then again, thats what she is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshi Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 i think she was better english, i don't know why, the american one sounded too "residant evil", i liked it as more of a lara croft quality without the jumping, the shooting of the dogs and the jumping sideways whilst shooting the dogs thing. oh, and elain was much better than lara, but lara was better than MI4 elain because she was english, but not really. you know what, i have no idea what i'm talking about (and i'm damned if you know). but my point is, COMI Elain was much better than EFMI elain.
