Telltale Games

Hey, decided to make a comparision of Guybrush's character designs. I kinda get the impression that the new character design for monkey island 2 remake shows signs that they're trying to link it to the curses look.

p.s don't ask why escape isn't in the timeline

Joop · 03/20/2010, 06:03 am

Why isn't Escape in the timeline?

Rather Dashing · 03/20/2010, 07:17 am

Hey, I noticed that Escape isn't in this timeline. Why have you chosen to exclude that game from your progressive evolution of Guybrush?

monkey_05_06 · 03/20/2010, 08:10 am

Presumably this must be one of the EFMI haters, i.e. someone who is in blatant denial of reality. Accepting the existence of the game is not synonymous with liking it y'know..

presidentmax · 03/20/2010, 08:14 am

no harm in doing so really. Star wars fans have got enough on their plate to be on denial about.

Sorry i just can't stand escape and i feel it serves no real purpose to the series it could easily be left out.

Joop · 03/20/2010, 08:17 am

Fixed.

Actually, I like SMI:SE's Guybrush less then EMI Guybrush.

ouch your a bit of an arse

I just see Escape like Rocky 5 where the sequel to it goes out of its way not to reference or aknowledge it.

the escape model looks so out of place inbetween curse and tales models.

You can tell with the tales model it was far influenced by curse and revenge and they went out their way to avoid influence from escape.

Escape's Guybrush is a handsome beast. Which is why the design is completely wrong, as Guybrush should look ugly and lanky.

I liked EMI Guybrush

He doesn't look handsome. He looks like a big softy.
The kind of guy you'd beat up at school.
I kinda like it, though it's one of my least favorite ones.

Always found that strange. Sex almost always comes with legs included.

Yeah, it's almost like saying "a car on wheels".

Hmm..I must have just imagined the references that were present in ToMI then..

Though I don't see where you come off calling me an "arse" just for pointing out the obvious fact that you are denying reality. You yourself admitted to this fact when you said:

Just because you personally feel that "it could easily be left out" does not mean it didn't happen. EFMI is there, like it or not. It happened. It's real, it's official, it's licensed canon. Beyond that it's not even as bad as you all try to make it out to be.

I accept some people don't like the game. I don't expect everyone to agree with me. But denying the existence of EFMI in any form, even if it's just pretending it's not there, is a denial of reality.

I honestly don't see where you get this impression that they "went out of their way" to make sure that the Tales model bore no resemblance to the Escape model. The Escape model was much more realistically proportioned than the Curse model. I mean in Curse his nose is half the size of his torso, his ankles are as wide as just two of his fingers, etc., etc. The Escape model albeit created with an extremely, glaringly low polygon count, at least aimed at a more realistically proportionate figure.

So, no, I can't tell that TTG "went out of their way" to avoid looking like the EFMI model. I just can't see it.

I'm really not trying to be on the offensive here, but I simply pointed out how you were denying the existence of EFMI and you go on and call me an "arse". So hopefully from here we can at least pretend to be mature enough to discuss each other's opinions without name-calling.

Edit: Why is it that amputees are excluded from sexual relations? Discrimination much?

Dude just leave me alone

It was the way you wrote your comment that upset me as you made me sound pathetic and weak-minded for not accepting the truth. Okay then, Escape happened. What do i gain from that slice of truth?

It was wrong of me to call you an arse.

Fealiks · 03/20/2010, 09:04 am

I really enjoyed EMI, but it still feels out of place in the series in my opinion. I'd be happy calling it non-canon, but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it.

Look into his eyes and tell me you still don't like Escape Guybrush.
He loves you.
