Monkey Island 5 plzzzzzzzzz but not in 3D k thnx lol
What have you got against 3D? MI4 may not have been the strongest of the series, but it wasn't the fault of the engine. As long as the style of humor is faithful and the puzzles are well done, I say bring on the full-immersion VR holodeck-style rendition of Monkey Island. ;-)
But yes, I most heartily agree with your desire for more Monkey Island.
Only, it really really should not be in 3D. There is nothing wrong with the awesome 2D drawings in the old games. Especially not it number 2. 3D does not automatically make a good game.
And I actually thing the problems of MI4 was partly the fault of the engine. It worked for Grim Fandango but for some reason it was complete balls in MI4. It looked like hell as well.
And the puzzles suffered as well, I think. You kept bumbling around looking at Thriftweeds head to see if something could be pressed or looked at. You had no control outside of his body and was limited to a keyboard. Not what I want in an adventure game. I want to do my pixel hunting with my mouse.
Also: Monkey Kombat sucked. But not as much as Insult Arm Wrestling. And Murray. How the managed to ruin Murray is beyond me. Anyway, the game lacked any sense of originality and instead chose to rip the old ones off.
/rant on my favourite series. But just let MI rest. No need to dig up the old zombie-ghost-demon pirate anymore. Ozzie Mandrill my bum. *sigh*
