What kind of MI fan are you?

[Ignatius]

After a long research...well not much of a research, but lets say after reading a lot of stuff coming from MI fans on this 9 years without news, i was able to divide the fan community in just three simple categories.
Wich defines you best?

1)THE KEEPERS OF THE TRUTH:
There are only 2 Monkey Island games. "Secret..." is the One true game and "Le Chucks Revenge..." its it prophet. If theres ever gonna be another MI game should it be designed by Ron gilbert, written by Ron Gilbert, produced by Ron Gilbert, developed by Ron Gilbert, and programed on computers that Ron Gilbert made and assemble with his own hands. Maybe Tim and Dave can help him build the computers, only that. All other MI games apart from the truly ones are crap, lies. Death to the infidels!


2)THE PRAGMATIC:
First and second part were brilliant. But admmit it: CMI was also an awesome game. Great. Wonderfull. Yes, maybe when they tried to explain the end of MI2 with LeChuck as a spokeperson, that was a little weird, but its only one little flaw, the game is beatiful, definitively a good part of MI. About 4...well...kind of childish.. and with big continuity problems...i dunno...i guess its like those family members who with you dont get along, you cant stand them, but its part of the fammily and you got to be tolerant and all that crap. Anyway, someone please tell EMI to pass me the salad. Im still not talking with it.


3)THE "IM A REALLY HAPPY PERSON":
I luuuuuuv Monkey Island!!! Its gr8! LOL! I dont know what is all the fuzz about with the fourth, it was great, there was a giant robot! and those monkeys! sooo cute firing those balls of blue-insult-magic! And.. wha-?...........Herman Thootrot?.......what about him?......Really?....Was he on the first game?..You sure? I dont remember, and it doesnt matter! stop being so grumpy about it! Its alll gr8! As long as there are monkeys in the front i will buy it an luv it.


Well..im more or less in number 2. I tried to be really objective with the others. Yes, i failed misserably.

I fall somewhere between your 2 and 3.

[Armakuni]

I prefer the first two games, but the third is decent enough.

[matrixduck]

Since I started on the third game, followed by the fourth. Then playing the first two on my DS I'd have to say I'm closer to your third. So long as the games are as hilariously witty and challenging as before, I'm all game.

[Jenny]

I consider myself solidly in the second category: The Pragmatic.

However, I do understand where "The Keepers of the Truth" are coming from, and would like to see a MI3 by, from, for, and with Ron Gilbert.

[hamzie]

pragmatic

though i liked 4 more than how pragmatics do

[Armakuni]

The kind of fan that would waste hundreds of dollars on the FM Towns versions of the games, even though they're basically the same

[MusicallyInspired]

I still have not really played MI4 to know what the fuss is all about. I've played the beginning. I was a little weirded out that while the first game in the series can be played with just the mouse, the "last" game in the series had to be played with just the keyboard. But I could still play it I think.

So I'm somewhere in between Pragmatic and Happy Person....closer to Pragmatic, though. I also see where the Keepers of the Truth are coming from, though. I'd gladly accept a "true" MI3 from Ron himself any day to find out what exactly the Secret of Monkey Island is. I'd even replace it as the true MI3 and the current COMI would be something from an alternate reality.

....Hey, I wonder if it'd be possible to actually visit the alternate reality where Ron DID create an MI3? I wonder what that'd be like...

[EeK85]

I dress like a pirate every day. I guess that pretty much covers what kind of MI fan I am.

[der_ketzer]

2 all the way

[Sven Viking]

I'm somewhere between 1 and 2. I think MI3 was a great game, but would prefer if Ron Gilbert could continue the story his way from MI2.

[Felmarg]

"You guys ! You guys !!! I'm totally tripping right now !!!" Monkey is Baaaaaaackkk (^_^") Aaarrrgh!

Fan fom the first to the last (even if the 4th has a bad gameplay).

Long life to Telltales !!!

[Joe Newberry]

I'm a 2 kind of person. I'd love to see the true MI3, but I liked CMI a lot. I replay the first three games every year or so, including starting them up again yesterday after hearing the news of TMI, but EMI I have a hard time getting back into. I finally bought the PS2 version off Amazon, and I'm hoping it will control a little better.

I've pre-ordered TMI and I'll stomach the keyboard controls if it means getting to push Guybrush around again.

[Guybrush_Threepwood]

I'm a "KEEPER OF THE TRUTH"!
MI1: Wonderful
MI2: The best
MI3: good as a standalone game, awful as a sequel
MI4: shy attempt to leave the exaggeratedly deformed toon style of CMI, nice backgrounds, good as a standalone game

[Xocrates]

2.5

Although that may have to do with having started with 3, and 4 being the first one I've actually bought :P

[centrius]

3 all the way <3 MI for president!

[ChazFox]

I'm probably a 2.5. I played the demo of CMI, loved it. (Murray for life (or undeath)!) I played through EMI, thought it was also awesome. Given the opportunity to purchase (and actually be able to run) the others again, I would definitely buy the first three games.

I might be leaning more towards a 3 but I don't spell like that -at all-.

This + this

[Abel]

I'm kind of 2,5 but I have to make clear that I never talk or write like the third one

Goes for me as well.
