Gilbert can't write endings or good stories to save his life, and clearly he thinks he's too hot to hire someone who can.
Instead of making a Monkey Island he made a Deponia, minus the good art.
Guybrush is now Rufus, Marley has been lobotomized into Gal.
He had decades to write a proper story, instead he obviously did frick nothing, because that's what transpires from playing the game.
He even set up a plot hook of the secret being a reality bending thing, and did not use it, while it could have been a great way to make Guybrush confront his demons and become a better person without having to abandon his dreams.
There could have been a twist where it appears it was all a game, but then something clues in that it's actually the secret at work, turning his magical word into mundane wage shit and he has to fight to preserve the magic.
Instead no, just and end with a whimper, no redemption. Only giving up.
Speaking of dreams, it's like Ron is telling us "Frick your dreams, give up, grow up, eat shit c**t".
What a piece of shit. I'll never support games with such a message. Impossible dreams can be reframed and made possible other ways. It's obvious Ron is a seething salty grumpy c**t, he should eat shit.
Monkey Island deserved better. Monkey Island deserved someone who still believed in it.

Do the subhumans who b***h endlessly about games do the tiniest little bit of research?
anons you just don't get it
PROGRESS it's been 32 years! the times are different
whatever the hell that means
you gotta just accept it this game wasn't meant for you!
Not letting past glories rest in peace like they deserve. If he'd done something new instead, he could've done something respectably decent and been rewarded for it.
But like so many of these old forgotten fricks, he's got too big an ego to not run into the room farting and waving his arms and shouting "look at me!!! remember that time I did the thing?!?! I did it again, I did the thing again!!!!"
>They advertised the game as "THE ORIGINAL CREATOR IS BACK" but left out that he's one of the three people that made it work. >Ron is still spiteful about the series dumping him after two games and it leaked out on this. >chose a terrible art style for a point and click
If they would've advertised it as what it is, Monkey Island 6 starring “everything from every previous game happened” we could've avoided this disappointment from the getgo
like that would stop anyone from shitting on it
this game is pure cynical-ism boiled to in video game form
the only way you could make it any way worse if it was the last of us which was dogshit in the first place
I am confident it would've had less vitriol coming its way because expectations are tempered. But you can't sell me a “sequel to MI2” called “return to monkey island” and actually be a completely different thing
true but it wouldn't change the outcome much other than a bit less hate but still shit tons
because what was expected was a nice little game returning to what old point and clicks were like
and instead you got a modernized diversity fire shitfest where half the game is hating on the fans
art style
It looks like tumblr mixed with these soulless stock graphics that corporations use
THE LITTLE homosexual WITH THE EARRING AND MAKEUP
Curse mogs this so goddamn hard.
it was so comfy
Everything but starting with the homosexual ron gilbert for being a talentless hack

This right here. I was a huge Monkey Island fan but I will never buy this one because not playing it seems to be the thing Ron wants you to do.
>Deponia, minus the good art
Neither of the games have good art, get your eyeballs checked.
Well, relatively good at least.
There's little that can be worse than these flash game clunky animations
Backgrounds were fine though. They would've worked fine with better character art.
At least Deponia doesn't make player feel like they're playing an aftermarket minecraft ripoff.
> Gilbert can't write endings
I’m still mad at Thimbleweed Park
I can't for the life of me, remember what Thimbleweed was about.
I don’t either I just remember the ending because of how dumbfounded I was.
Ron Gilbert decided against better judgement it's best to go out with a bang angering old fans with minimalism art and nonsensical ending.

Goddamnit I should have learned to play them drums...

Can't argue with that anon.
This entire ordeal saddens me to no end.
The original is perfectly fine.
Why remake a game with shittier art and removal of original dialog?
It's not a remake. You're just here to b***h about a game you've never played or cared about.
I like 5.
The art style is just fricking terrible
People will say artstyle.
Reality is, artstyle is the least of its problems. The script is absolute garbage, overly reliant ofd member berries humour.
