Re: YEESSSS!!!!!!!! - Tales of Monkey Island
I think im more interested in the updated original to be honest.. hope they havnt butchered it... i dont like when games that really worked in their basic 2d or semi 3d format are turned into full on 3d games...hope it isnt butchered!

Re: YEESSSS!!!!!!!! - Tales of Monkey Island
They had what they were billing as a "pretty final" version at E3. It had very shitty new artwork (the portrait screens are butchered beyond belief) and the dub, re-recorded soundtrack, and refined interface is ONLY available if you play with the new shitty graphics.

You can, of course, play it in pure old school mode. Which isn't well designed for the gamepad, and is badly fitted to the screen so it's ugly and distorted. Basically, a considerably worse experience than the original. There is no ability to mix and match which new features you want. This makes the whole release a waste in my eyes, because I don't want to play it in either mode. I'll just go play it in SCUMMVM.

Aw no, im disgusted really... I mean, i know the original perhaps was lacking in a few qualities but im pretty sure i dont want to play anything else... i just want it commercialy available to play! ha

Oh such great memories!...getting stuck at the totempole part for soooooooo long and thinking there had to be something bout the totem poles i hadnt done and finaly working it out... (ive forgotten now completely, but thats a good thing)

And this was a time when games were games and not simply a ten level 50quid waste of money, these games were hard, inventive and enjoyable!

Remember Kings Quest....? IV being my favourite!
