Trial and Execution of Guybrush Threepwood - Spoiler Discussion!

[Jake]

Here's a place to chat about the game for those who wish to talk about the later events in the story.

I've seen a few people mentioning later-game events and also expressing a desire to talk about spoilery things, so here you go!

Note obviously that you should steer clear of this thread if you want to avoid spoilers of Chapter 4's story!

[ttg_Stemmle]

I can't believe those bastiches killed off Hurley!

[Erlec]

MURDERS! WHY DO YOU KILL EVERYONE I LOVE?!

Anyways, hopefully what happened with morgan, will happen with Guybrush *suddenly vanishes and will pop up at voodoo lady*
Btw, Wth Voodoo lady! YOU PUT ME THROUGH EL POYO DEL DIABLO!

[HoboStew]

I can't wait until we find out who shot JR

[mithrandiryod]

Wow....it's as though everyone on the forum is either an incredibly good guesser or Telltale took a few cues from discussions in the forums. I'd like to believe the former honestly.

Loved it, seemed longer than the previous episodes and the twists made it all the more interesting.

Stan's Character honestly didn't do much for me. Sure he was slightly comedic...but not at the epic level Murray (aka: Santino) was during Chapter 3.

Looking forward to the conclusion...and as much as it pains me to say this, I wonder how Telltale could top Tales of Monkey Island with a sequel now. I want one really bad, if nothing else for Monkey Island to continue onward....but the story just seems to be leading to a Series Epic conclusion of some sort. Please don't let that be the case TTG!!!

BTW: I really hope Morgan isn't dead permanently......that was really anticlimactic after the hilarious bar brawl sequence.

it was awesome! nice work to the talltale guys. i dont think i have seen as much emotion in MI before. morgan dead! guybrush dead! wow. even tho i completed it in 4 hours was probs the hardest to me so far. and just as we started to trust le chuck he goes evil again! ^^.

also did any1 notice (if my eyes and ears didnt dicive me ) that earl boen did the voice of evil le chuck again?

Both death scenes made me teary-eyed. And I LOVED the way the conversation from the opening of ep1 was echoed at the end of ep4, "Unholy this!" etc. Really nice symmetry.

[Eduardo]

I really, really enjoyed this one. Even if you see a plot twist coming, it was great.

Although I think I would have liked a little more indepth about LeChuck accusing the Voodoo Lady, like reading an excerpt of the diary.

[pamparius]

Good game. Thank you very much.

[Secret Fawful]

Well, my mouth dropped. I can honestly say that the story has hit a level that NONE of the previous chapters can even hold a slight candle too, and I never thought I'd say that, because I love the previous chapters.

Nighttime. De Singe was a great villain, and I'm sorry to see him go, Stan, and the big unsurprising revelation about the Voodoo Lady.

When the camera panned down to Morgan I was expecting Guybrush's hand. Seeing Guybrush so angry was very different.

And when Guybrush died, I expected something to happen with the Jeu de Vie, but...he died.

Holy ---- my favorite video game character is dead, but I REALLY can't wait for the final chapter!

[Xocrates]

Just finished it. My reaction was as follows (censored to protect sensible minds):

Holy,motherfucking fuck o_O

[Junaid]

Just finished it... and wow, wat an amazing episode

CMI and EMI were both pretty light on heavy story developments, They didn't took that many risks with the characters. You really have balls (canonballs, that is. no innuendo here) for killing Guybrush. And not in a funny way (like the two times he 'died' in CMI), but by having him literally stabbed to death by LeChuck himself.

I also really didn't see Morgan's death coming (although there's probably more to it), the mood was very well done in that scene.

The ending cutscene had me on the edge of my seat, the final piece with LeChuck and Elaine clashing swords was awesome. I can't wait to see how this will end. And of course, I hope it won't end ...but with Dan Connors saying how TMI is your best selling title to date, I don't think "Rise of the Pirate God" is the last we'll see of the wonderful world of Monkey Island

Also, nice job on getting Earl Boen

[MarcoPollo]

"Well, I guess that's the end of the game then."
"Funny, I didn't think you could die in LucasArts adventure games."
"Well, this is a Telltale adventure- maybe they're trying something different."

I wanted, at the end of the credits, for old times sake, a simple 'GAME OVER - You scored 0 out of 800 points.' message

[Thynnmas]

There are certain rules in this world that are not to be broken, and article one is "Don't kill off Guybrush Threepwood, Might Pirate"...
You, telltale, have made my 'list'! (unless something happens in the last episode)

Or as TV Tropes calls it the Ironic Echo.

Also, shouldn't you be working on your best-selling novel?

Oh wait, never mind.

*Goes back to his own best-selling novel*

[lorddane28]

My response is severly limited because i don't know how to censor.
While I enjoyed the game immensely, my feelings on the ending differ slightly

HOW DARE YOU M***********S KILL THE MOST AMAZING CHARACTER IN PUZZLE GAMING'S HISTORY!!!! YOU G******* SONS OF B*******. I SWEAR THAT IF GUYBRUSH IS NOT BROUGHT BACK AS A SLAVE OF LECHUCK OR SOMETHING, THIS WILL BE YOU: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-JMSERC8sA note that link is very graphic and gorey

Actually it is possible to die in monkey island 1 - During the theft of the idol of many hands, you can drown if you wait longer than 10 minutes (I was bored one day hehe).

In monkey island 2 (hard mode I believe) you could get dunked into the acid in LeChucks palace if you used the wrong chat options with wally instead of putting out the candle, however the game would conviently crash before 'dying.'

I didnt crash, Elaine notes that if Guybrush had died, how could he be there telling her the story.

[OCKi]

Best episode yet!
I'm just gonna go ahead and say that Tales of Monkey Island is, in my book, an instant classic!
Thank you Telltale!

[Epic Kiwi]

Well, now nobody here can claim that ToMI isn't "dark" or "serious" enough. =D
