look that is just plain not true. I doubt you actually think it is really the best. Monkey island 2 is the best. There is no arguing with that

Why can't people respect each others opinions? Seriously, saying "this MI game is the best, FACT" and "no your wrong!" is just plain stupid. First saying a MI game is the best is fine, but it's not a fact it's your opinion, and second when your opinion differs from someone else's that's fine, but it does NOT make their opinion wrong.

I'm sorry but this whole 'your opinion's wrong' thing and the 'my opinion is fact' thing are both driving me nuts! DX

There are only two kinds of opinions in the world. The correct opinion, and everyone else's opinion.

What is so good about Lechuck's Revenge? I don't remember it being THAT GOOD by any aspect

The music, the humour, the visual art (although it became quite "muddled" due to the scanning and stuff - the remake looks much better imo), the puzzles, the story and the overall "feel" was simply great in my opinion.

And the four map pieces puzzle (while classic with its find-four-objects scheme) is a great example of perfectly done non-linearity

I still think it's over rated

Escape is the best of all. Deal with it.

No ones going to deal with it just like you don't when people tell you EMI isn't the best. I think its pointless people trying to tell each other that there choice is the actual best game since its all relative to opinions.

[Scnew]

Voted for LeChuck's Revenge, but I'm pretty amazed how few votes Secret of Monkey Island got.

[StarEye]

The oldies are going to vote for LeChuck's Revenge. Noobs are going to vote for CMI. Hence the low SOMI score. If you're old enough to have played MI1 or 2 on release, there's a good chance one of those will be your favourite. If you started the game out with CMI, theres a good chance that will be your favourite.

I played them all in the order of release and CoMI is still my favorite... so i disagree with your statement StarEye.

[StarEye]

You are 1 person, there are always exceptions. I still believe that the majority will fall under my theory.

I started playing with MI2, and I put Tales as my fav. It's opinion dude. lol, I find it funny that you refer to the people who start with CMI and have there fore been playing MI for 14 years, as noobs. Seriously dude? As MI fans the truth is, even people that started on EMI are pretty much experts on the series now.

[coolsome]

Yh with the long absence between EMI and Tales everyone's pretty much managed to play them all over and over. The only "noobs" are probably people who started on TMI but with the SE's its easyer to catch up.

True, there's not really many 'noobs' any more. I played MI2 in 96, so I've been playing for 15 years now (NOOO!!!! I'M OLD!) but by Stareyes definition of a noob, I'd still be a noob as I didn't play MI2 the year it came out and didn't start with MI1.

The way I see it, people are entitled to think what they want, so who cares if someone thinks EMI is the best? Sure I personally don't agree, but that doesn't mean EMI shouldn't be their favourite.

I never intended "noob" as some kind of insult (more of a tongue-in-cheek), just that I would divide Monkey Islands fans into (at least) two catagories. Those that have been one since the beginning of the franchise, and those who are introduced later, which would often be CMI because it was around that time when gaming seriously hit massmarket (thanks to the success of the Sony Playstation).

Maybe if people would stop reading on forums with such a defensive stance and cynicism, they wouldn't feel so offended by non-offensive posts. I had no agenda with my post, only throwing out a theory that I still holds some water. I never said falling into either of the catagories was right or wrong. I never said "you started playing MI long after I did, you dumb noob, lol, your opinion doesn't count!", or anything like that.

God, I hate the internet.

Considering the term 'noob' is an offensive term, I think we had a right to be defensive. Would you walk up to a black man call him the N word and then be surprised when he was offended? Or even walk up to him and casually throw the word out while talking to him and think that it's OK as it wasn't directed at him? No. While noob isn't anywhere near on that scale, it's the same basic principle. If you don't want people to be offended by posts don't include offensive terms in your post with no context (or even the context that everyone who started MI after you is a noob, which is how your post came across) and then act like you've been wronged when people react to it.

Partial intolerance is as bad, if not worse, then out and out hate, you might want to remember that.
