The Monkey Island SCUMM Bar: Monkey Island online #2

Those sad little men over at Disney have masturbated together a new game based on Pirates of the Caribbean. Been there done that? Well here�s the catch... It�s exactly the same as every pirate game before... but this time it�s ONLINE!

"Pirates of the Caribbean is the perfect franchise for our second commercial effort in this arena. Fans of the movies and theme park attraction will be able to live their own unfolding pirate adventure through the game, including searching for lost treasures and battling numerous enemies on land and at sea."

Toontown online will be the blueprint for this project, so expect an enjoyable if overly-simple internet romp. It won�t be World of Warcraft, but it will have enough pirates to satisfy even Ron Gilbert (and boy, does that guy love his pirates).

I hope I'm not just being cynical, but it sounds like a blatant cash in, Toontown was alright, but hopw are they going to implement that into a pirate world?
the result will be interesting, if a bit laughable.

I agree. We'll see though... the concept at least sounds good.

Pirates of the Carribean doesn't have much to expand from, I mean, it didn't leave any loose threads that could be tied up or explained on the online game, or anything...The movie was good, and they don't need to screw it up with some horrible game...

You mean: They don't need to screw it up with another horrible game

As you may have noticed, LA is only interested in cash, not in producing quality games :(

Well this is Disney not LucasArts, but yeah, the point remains.

I doubt the online game will add much to the story of Pirates of the Caribbean... I imagine it'll be a generic Pirate MMORPUG instead. Hopefully it won't be as much of cheap cash in as the last POTC game, which wasn't really a POTC game at all.

We'll see though!

My god Gabez watch your language lol!

Well I'll just say this about the subject: wait and see...

God, I don't know WHAT I was thinking when I wrote that update. Believe me, you got the mild version.

Originally it read "those money grabbing Nazi's over at Disney" and "point your cocks at the main site for more, more MORE"

Microsoft is no different than Disney. If you hate Disney cause of their "Nazism" then stop using Windows.

the difference is... I CAN choose not to play their crappy game but I cant really use my PC without windows.
