Monkey Island 5 SUCKS!

[Silverwolfpet]

No, I think he refers to

Monkey Island 5: We told you so

[quickfics]

But, really, nothing compares to the whole Monkey Island 5: Coal-Powered Boogaloo debacle.

[Javi-Wan Kenobi]

I knew Lucas was doing something new when I heard the working title "Pink Sowing: To the Caribbean and Beyond".

[Spadge]

I'm rather dissapointed they didn't stick with "Monkey Islandtrix: Reloaded"

[quickfics]

I unburied a partial list of names they were bandying around:

...
Monkey Island 5: Meet the Fo'c's'le
Monkey Island 5-0
Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Monkey Island Part V
Showboat
MI:5
The Ghost and Mrs. Threepwood
...

[Silverwolfpet]

Ahh, the one with "The ghost and Mrs. Threepwood" would've fit just right. I mean, for all the times Guybrush had to wear a dress in this game, you couldn't tell WHO was the actual Mrs. Threepwood.

Careful... it might have been one of the 28 "fake credits" in the game. (sneaky game developers.)

Not only is the Easter egg not worth it... let's just say... some things are best left... "buried".

Still, I have read online that after you beat the game you can find Grim Fandango tm walking around. (But I haven't beaten the game yet and thus cannot confirm it.)

I'm glad they got rid of Monkey Kombat, but Ultimate Pecking Parrots wasn't much better.

[Silverwolfpet]

Why? I loved the BWAAACK-SQUAK-(flap wings) combinations!

[jtc]

The only thing I actually liked about MI5 was the first person shooter part mentioned way earlier in this thread. That was brilliant. The monkey-powered helicopter travesty on the other hand was just dumb, who actually liked pressing 10 different buttons for 2 hours straight without the possibility to save your game in between?

[Silverwolfpet]

um...I did! I love a MI challenge!

[Dan2593]

Ugh I'm still disgusted at the scene Elaine and Captain Kate get it on. I mean full frontal nudity? REALLY?
Jesus christ.
I guess it was kind of beautiful how their relationship bloomed but why a half an hour animated sex scene? If anybody found that arousing what is wrong with you?
They aren't real!

Glad Guybrush took her back in the end. But I wish she put a damn shirt on.
Atleast we know why she wants revenge at the end of Tales. Guybrush broke up a blooming relationship.

First Guybrush
Then Kate in MI5
And in Tales she goes to Lechuck.
I got a new word I like to call Elaine.

Ah I chose different options. Elaine went to Kate for me.

Also I read a post that reminded me of how Guybrush went around shirtless. It seems they did this with every character.

What was (in your opinion) the worst product placement? For me it was that in order to make it to the floating island you had to drink red bull grog because "it gives you wings" Serisously, doesn't this game make enough money without selling out?

[coolsome]

I hate that guybrush wouldnt leave the yonga and muntz "comedy" show

[Silverwolfpet]

I just couldn't get over the fact the the LucasArts logo was placed, in a subtle way, in EACH and EVERY texture! You can spot it in Guybrush's hair, on Guybrush's coat, on the clouds and once every three meters on the ground. Sure, it was subtle...but c'moooon!

[Monkeybutton]

The worst bit for me had to be that whole Q&A mini-game - the one with the really stupid questions -

'You're in a desert, walking along in the sand, when all of a sudden you look see a tortoise. It's crawling toward you. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping.'

I mean whats all that about?! WTF have deserts to do with pirates?! What desert? What f-ing tortoise?! It left me with absolutely no emotional response apart from rage I tell you...

[Silverwolfpet]

^ I always answered YES to all of those...

Heehee - OT I know but I watched Directors Cut again last week

Muchos Kudos for the vid by the way....ace!

Back on topic:

How about that stupid 'Thank-you Note' game where all you had to do was go through Guybrush and Elaine's guest-list and tick off the one's you'd replied to already....and that china pattern they chose was just tacky.....delft-ware monkeys are not a good look...

Tell me about it... but, as annoying as the list-thingie was, it cannot be compared to the actual Caribbean Party that was a clear rip-off from Asterix and Obelix. Meh, and the "Throw the midget" game was really disturbing and offensive!
