hellomoto Posted August 3, 2003 Share Posted August 3, 2003 The Scumm Bar made monkey island, in MI1 thats where you first found out how to become a pirate, if it wasnt for it, MI would have most probably been a complete failure. The characters there were some of the best the game has ever seen. Now they've got rid of it, for 'The Lua Bar'. Come on, who wants to see that, except some pervert who wants to say the waitresses legs. The Scumm Bar has to return, especially now that Guybrush lives on Melee, how will it come back. I hope that its just there at the start of MI5, I dont even wanna see the Lua bar again, too many bad memories, I hope you just find out, that theres been a big fight, and I Cheese just got it back, except its back how it was in the origional MI. Oh, and theres no stupid tourists. How do you want it to come back? If you want it back at all that is. You do. Trust me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshi Posted August 3, 2003 Share Posted August 3, 2003 If you look closely at the cutscene at the end of EMI, you'll see that LeChuck doesn't blow up, his statue just flies towards teh screen and away. My theory is that LeChuck isn't in there anymore and it's just a statue that lands nicely on the Lua Bar crushing it and with Ozzie gone, it's goes back to I. Cheese who turns it back into the SCUMM Bar. That would at least be plausible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ariana Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 I liked the Lua Bar, kind of. Two reasons. 1) It's so incredibly ridiculous. I'm familiar with all the stuff they're making fun of: the clothing styles, the "gaijin Japanese", the fakey pseudo-Hawaiian stuff...being rather fond of Japanese AND Hawaiian culture myself, and quite aware that there is a lot to Hawaii besides the touristy side most people are aware of, I know exactly what they are trying to parody, and I think it's rather effective. I hate the Lua Bar but I love it. It was an entertaining part of the game, but I can sympathize with the pirates: "NOOOO! Our reprehensible grog-swilling location is gone!" 2) And I can also put up with the Lua Bar because I'm SURE the Scumm Bar will be back. You just couldn't get rid of it. I mean, the good guys won at the end of EMI. That means they're sure to put everything back to their piratey origins, rather than letting the islands become tourist traps.

Ernil Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 I couldn't agree more. I have covered this on a thread I started a while ago. "Changes to Melee". On page 2, about halfway down, I posted my FIRM opinion on this topic. Due to lack of motivation, I won't re-seek my feelings and find the right words to describe what I feel, but you can go and read what I said. http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=105057 -Check out what I had to say.

Ariana Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 I think I see what you mean. I think the only way my opinion differs is that I didn't think the Lua Bar detracted from the game. In fact, I found that particular part rather enjoyable. You got to have Guybrush wander around and poke fun at the frilly little drinks, and basically trash the place. It was fun!

hellomoto Posted August 4, 2003 Author Share Posted August 4, 2003 I've just realised, the Lua Bar was owned by Ozzie, so now with him gone, the scumm bar will probably just reform and for no reason whatsoever, there'll be loads of grog swillin pirates. !!!YAY!!!

Bushmeister Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 With no more Ozzie Mandrill, I think that the pirates on all islands, not just Melee, will be able to take back their property and drive out the tourists. I can think of all the pirates on Knuttin Atoll going straight on over to Jambalaya to ramsack it so it again looks more "piratey". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabez Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 Personally I would rather see other islands like Scabb and Blood come back. We've seen enough of Melee, and The SCUMM Bar, let others have some 3D treatment now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrik Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 I think seeing Booty Island and Scabb island again would be great. I still think they should revert to 2D and bring in Dan Lee to do the job, but feh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshi Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 Dan Lee art would be nice, But i think it would be interesting to see Booty and Scabb (and even Phatt, no use leaving it out of the loop) in funky 3D. I know, I know, people hate the 3D and think it spoils everything, but we'll always have mi2 to look back on. My suggestion, do it, some people (even some fans) will like it. I know I'd find it interesting to see how they screw up three more islands in super 3D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernil Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 I can imagine myself getting overly excited to see Scabb and Booty, and then being greatly dissapointed. It happened with Melee Island, and I'm still shocked by it. If the towns/islands did come out just perfect, then all would be good, world hunger would be solved, all Warring would dissapear, etc. I think that producers and makers of the last game know that a few people were dissapointed about the returns to new places, and these makers aren't stupid. If they bring us back, they'll do it tremendously. Though, I'd like to see some new, fun, festive, piratey, dangerous islands to skip around in joy, too. Farewell, Ernil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushmeister Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 I'd personally love to try out the Booty Island sptting competition again in 3D, you could use your mouse to aim the spit, maybe even at other crowd members or some scenary as part of a puzzle!

Junior™ Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 I always liked islands at night the most. I don't exactly know why....it's just something about the dark and gloomy atmosphere that makes them more exciting for me. That's basically why I'd be happy to see islands like Scabb or Blood Island again in MI5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
