The Monkey Island SCUMM Bar: The polls are closed, and the results are in

When asked if you believed in the PC Gamer Monkey Island 5 rumors, a massive 84% of you said "Yes", leaving a 16% minority of skeptics. Now the situation has changed, and LucasArts have stated that this is "not the appropriate time to launch a graphic adventure on the PC" - but do you think that this seriously jeopardizes Monkey Island 5, or do you still hold faith in the rumors? Vote now!

As sad as I am that Sam and Max 2 got cancelled, I must treat it as a blessing in disguise. I really didn't want another Monkey Island game, and I figured it would be a dead cert they would make one - not anymore though :D

I still think they'll make another MI game - what LucasArts says isn't always what LucasArts does. Also Guybrush is *almost* as good as Star Wars for making money fairly easily. Hmm. They'll probably turn Mi5 into an action game or something. :~

Also I have a feeling the last option will win. :~

as much as id like another MI game i kidan hope they wont as they probably will change it and make it crappy like they did with EMI :p

Oh, come on. Star wars isn't, well, up to par anymore. Theres only so much recurring theme one can stand without any new substance to it. All those incessant star wars games will lose their little midas touch eventually and lucasarts will be crawling back to our humble Guybrush. The humble guybrush that can save that deteriorating company.

why did everyone not like the new MIs?

Some people don't like CMI and EMI because they weren't made by Ron Gilbert, and thus aren't part of the original "secret." Others, like me, who don't much care for these "secret" theories (despite what Tim Schafer might say, Remi) don't have a problem with CMI but think EMI has bad characterisation, a disregard for the original two games (ie, monkey head

I liked CMI and EMI more than the first two, am I just weird?

Posted Mar 16, 2004

I think I prefer EMI over Mi1, but Mi2 wins all. :D

I don't think EMI was a bad game by any means - it was in fact very good, and did well in reviews and sales - but I do think it could have been better. Oh well.

I agree with Gabez, I liked EMI more then MI1. Heck I liked all the other MI games more then the first one. Not saying the MI1 was bad. It was a great game. I just prefer the others more.
