Chapter 2 better then Chapter 3

Regarding Guybrush's skills, he's not a genius, but he's good at what he does. He's a touch above the rest of the cast. But it's too easy to say "it's not Guybrush who is smart, it's all the other's who are dumb". He's quite a bit like Jack Sparrow (or vice versa, if you will). I've heard people saying Will Turner being the Guybrush clone, but I can't see that at all. Jack Sparrow gets his way exactly the same way Guybrush does - through wit and manipulation and some good old hard thinking. But like Guybrush, he doesn't show it. There's probably a lot going on in their heads, but it goes unnoticed. He doesn't say out loud or show people he's going to do - he just does it. He always seems to have a plan, he just doesn't tell us. It's up to the player to find out.

i agree 100% with this opinion

There are four kinds of people in these forums.

1. People who try to force their opinions on someone/ insult people.

2. People who disagree with that persons opinion, call them stupid, then try to force their opinion on people.

3. People who complain about people who try to force there opinions on other people

4. People who wish everyone would shut up

Guess which one i am MWAHAHAHAHAHA

And then there are those who intellectualize the various kinds of forum dwellers in an attempt to separate themselves from their peers so they can put themselves up on a pedestal (Also, I am aware of the irony that I'm doing the exact same thing )

5. People who add on to the end of lists in an attempt to stand out as silly and/or clever, but just end up making themselves look dumber than everyone else

I currently go 2 - 3 - 1, although I really really enjoyed every single one of them.

3 felt shorter to me though, but the new characters were really awesome and well done.

But seriously, it's hard to analyse em individually, I'm gonna have to go back and play all these again, hopefully after I invent some sort of memory wiping device so I forget playing TOMI, that way I can solve the puzzles again.

That would be the point he was trying to make, yes.

Dunno there were lights and shadows in Episode 3 like in Episode 2.

What i really liked was the puzzle intensity in Episode 3, from this point it felt like an old skool adventure, although it was plain too easy and missing a sexy one. Can we have different difficulty settings back please?! Turning hints on/off with this complexity just doesn't do the job for me. I found it a lot more easier than the episodes before.

I really enjoyed the face off competition, investigating and talking to the the crew and i guess it was the best appearance of Murray i've seen so far. I wasn't such a big fan of Murray (i'm more into LeChuck and others) but he does a great job in here. The first time i enjoyed watching the credits and didn't have to kill the task because of *boooring*. Now, i finally know who you are. Dealing with Morgan (cute haircut) also was more interesting than with Elaine *yawning*.

The price for the best texture in a game this month goes to Moose's axillary hair! :O)

Some gfx like the lights at the bar looked too much rushed, the walking restriction in the first scene felt unrealistic, some textures in the mantee were quite aweful and i found the beginning of the adventure not this interesting. Some of the riddles, although i solved them, like the proper options when talking to the female mantee didn't made this much sense to me, they also could be interpreted logically in a different way, overall this wasn't this well designed and boring.

Have i ever mentioned that i love shooting with the cannon on the ship?! Here goes another one... *kaboom*

And so on...don't have too much time right now.

What i would wish for the future would be following the more puzzle intensive path, offering a more difficult option as well or raising the complexity for a few ones plus at least one ingenious designed puzzle, trying to design a story which is not only partly interesting. Make it more saucy were it does make sense, sometimes TTG games feel too much after some Disney shows. Keeping an eye on some of the textures. Oh and please let us play LeChuck as well. As always: Fix the steering options.

Thanks, and looking forward for chapter four.

I have to agree here, though chapter 3 is great in its own way. But i was really into the atmosphere of spinner cay, liked the merfolk (well, at least Anemumbelie) and loved the much dirtier humour. I guess it really depends on your kind of humour, and if you're into the characters. Winslow was great in ep2 and had a much smaller role this time, and I just don't get the appeal of Morgan. The area were ep3 really outshines ep2 are the puzzles though (vouchers? jungle barbecues?). Especially the flirty ending

Personally I thought Chapter 2 was funnier but still preferred chapter 3.

Number one should be "their opinions" not "there opinions"

^ example of a number 5 type of person.

hoooooooowever, I liked Chapter 2 way more.

Chapter 2, in my opinion, had way more funny gags in it, and still stands out as the best Chapter so far, and perhaps even the best part of all MI games so far.
Ofcourse it was so much fun to see Murray back, and it made me laugh a bit, but not enough.
I missed the sarcastic, snapping, reference to older games, remarks from Chapter 2.

The biggest problem with this Chapter, for me personally, was that Guybrush was way to smart all of a sudden. I like him more when he is goofy, doing dumb stuff, and making funny remarks when other people are talking.
He shouldn't have to explain himself to Morgan that much, he seemed like a mentor at some point, which just didn't feel right.
The jokes this time around were "fun", but more like Disneyfun, then really fun.

The best joke for all 3 chapters is still the "cookie" one for me.

The new characters were "ok", but not very memorable. The problem is that each episode introduces us to 3 or 4 new characters who don't appear in later ones. That's a bit sad since I would have loved to see some of the previous ones pop up.
Instead I get the feeling we will not see them again.
I understand Telltale has to do this, since it's episodic and all, but still.

Another problem with this Chapter for me, were the locations and some of the items you so randomly got.
If you count them up, there were only 5 locations:

- 2 inside the manatee
- The ship
- The bottom of the ocean
- Voodoo Lady shack

Chapter 2 had twice as many which came with a lot more variety.

Then, where the hell did that seahorse head came from?? "Someone" left it on your bed? Well that's nice and random.
The totally awesome and funny parrot "dissapeared".

I also would have liked to see more of LeChuck and Elaine.

And the so called "cliffhanger" really wasn't one since there is no indication where the next chapter is going to progress too. But this is not a bad thing I guess.

But all of this doesn't really matter, since we are halfway through now, and it's normal that the middle part doesn't really stand out from the start and the climax.

Overal I have to admit I think this was still a totally great chapter; and way better then all the other adventure games out there these days, but it just didn't have the same feeling as Chapter 1 and certainly the awesome Chapter 2 had.

Now we can only pray chapter 4 comes a bit sooner then the 31st of October.

Still: Good job Telltale!

same for me, also on the location, and I tought I was crazy prefering the second! But can you tell me about this cookie jokes? I'm italian, and maybe this is a joke that made sense only in english language and I don't get it, don't know. Can you eplain me, please?

[doodinthemood]

^ I don't think translation into Italian would be much of a problem. It's just Guybrush asking for a cookie again and again. Some people find this hillarious, some don't. It's just one thing where lots of people think it's brilliant and nobody really knows why.

oh yeah, so I don't really knows why. Another question, sorry: but whan guybrush asks for for these biscuits? I can't remember. And this joke in the 3 is when you pick up the seahorse head, right?

I loved that one - the merfolk leader offers him anything he likes, and the only things he can think of are the secret of monkey island and cookies

Now that I look back at the previous posts, it looks a bit like I made that post to try to take a jab at you, which wasn't my intent. Was just trying to lighten the mood a bit. My bad. :[

It's the BEST JOKE ever!
I loved it...probably the most refined pun in the series.
Well, i guess you realized, that the Seahorse head was a joke on "The Godfather" where they decapitated a racehorse to bully a movie producer.

And the joke of the biscuit is, that in 2003 there was a movie "Seabiscuit" nominated for 7 Oscars, starring Tobey Maguire (Spiderman) about a jokey and his racing horse and the name of that horse was "Seabiscuit"

And when you're already laughing because you thought that was so funny, Guybrush picks up a random biscuit lying there and says "I love these!" (so he wasn't referring to the seahorse at all).
