>nobody cared
wow it's almost like there wasnt a game in the series for a decade at least
maybe you should stop gurgling cum and stop taking hrt and maybe your brain will start working again
I guess that depends on what you mean. I enjoyed it but I didn't think about it all the time, it's a very old game. That doesn't mean I'm not a real fan of it
>a new game in and old series is made >looks like shit >YOU DIDN'T POST ABOUT THE SERIES ALL THE TIME SO YOU NEVER CARED ABOUT I! SHUT UP! #killallmen #subvertingexpectations
I have fond memories of playing Monkey Island with my aspergery computer geek friend and he fell into a ceaseless fit of autistic laughter at the pirahna poodles.
Tales fact: the final joke of the last episode was either spoiled by, or inspired by, a Telltale forum thread made by a portuguese ESL on the day the first episode released.
If that one old niche series you liked as a kid got a sequel that destroyed everything the original(s) stood for, you'd be fricking furious too, don't lie.
I don't get the entitlement from developers. When you make a game you should realistically make something people will want to buy. Who the frick makes something ugly and then tells everyone else they're wrong for not liking it? How the frick do you expect to tell fans that they don't know what they want, but you the developer in an your enlightened grace obviously does.
It's even more puzzling why the "gaming media" types are defending it. It's like they're sucking Gilbert's wiener for no other reason than the art being ugly and divisive, and that somehow deserves defending.
>Who the frick makes something ugly and then tells everyone else they're wrong for not liking it?
Americans who went to some post-modern art school that cost them several hundred thousand dollars. There is no objectivity with those people, you cannot say it's bad because in "their reality" it's good.
I want my...
I want my MI3
I want my...
I want my MI3
I want my...
I want my MI3
I want my...
I want my MI3
Now look at that art-style, that's not the way you do it
Drawing shit art for Ron's MI3
That ain't good-looking, that's not the way you do it
Monkey for nothin and chimps for free
That ain't workin', that's not the way you do it
Lemme tell ya, Gilbert ain't dumb
Don't get an artist who could cost you a fortune
Don't get a loan shark who could cost you your thumb
We got to install games that look better
No penis noses, globohom
We got to find some working animators
We got to stop this corporate piece
See that little troony with the earing and the make-up
Yeah buddy, he calls himself a 'she.'
That little troony he redesigned Guybrush
That little troony he's the art designer
We got to install games that look better
No penis noses, globohom
We got to find some working animators
We got to stop this corporate piece
I shoulda learned to draw on tumblr
I shoulda learned to draw my noses red
Look at that style with the cubist vector
Man, we could have done that
And he's up there, what's that? An Animation?
It's flailing but still static like a puppet on string.
That ain't good lookin’, that's not the way you do it
Get your monkey for nothin', and your chips for free
>>See that little troony with the earing and the make-up >Yeah buddy, he calls himself a 'her.' >That little troony he redesigned Guybrush >That little troony he's the art designer
FTFY, now it rhymes
i think ok ko is cute i think the real problem is the fricking downgrade in the actual animation quality everyones' movement is so fricking choppy that might be ok for a newgrounds animation but it was an actual show on cartoon network, i really miss the show but i can see why it was cancelled
Part of the fun of the original detailed art style was all the cartoony shit the characters got up to that the when realistic shots of them came up, it helped add to the joke.
It will be hard to play and voice acted monkey island games now we know Dominic is a cuck.
That being said I'm a valid and based trans woman so day 1 buy for me.
From Retro, " a style or design from the recent past" and Fascist "A person you do not agree with but are unable to refute". What do they teach kids in school these days ?
Dominic was being super level headed here.
He liked the look probably because as a creator/involved in the project he has a different point of view than the fan does.
He looked at the new artstyle and thought "cool that looks different and interesting."
But to fans they thought "why did they do this it looks worse than all the previous games"
You know there's artists who paint with their menstrual blood. Now I'm pretty certain that there is a way, somehow, with a lot of talent, to make a painting that actually looks good using that sort of pain. I'm also aware that the market for such a painting will be different from a normal painting.
Now say they decide to retouch the Mona Lisa and hire that menstrual blood artist to do it. Don't you believe that many art aficionado and people interested in painting's past would be upset that they smear shit over the Mona Lisa ? Let's call this a false equivalency and say that the original Mona Lisa would still exist for people to enjoy, then what was the point of making a new version of something people love when it's not meant for them ? You could say this disgusting blood smeared version isn't meant for people that normally appreciate art but that doesn't refute the argument that it looks like rotting blood on a frame compared to the original.
What he said isn't really that bad, they just wanted to try something different. They didn't know people cared so fondly about the art being different. I don't think he's directly calling people literal fascists, just people who are extreme to nostalgia and change.
It looks objectively bad. Even if it would be a complete new franchise, it still looks like some sort of Tumblr corporate art low poly penis face. It is shit and soulless.
It's literally as in literally the Alegria artstyle, it was created specifically for facebook and then it expanded to all corporations.
It's an abomination.
Damn if Dobson were active today, he'd fit right in.
>transgender woman >nonbinary
?????
I'm not up on my LGBTHIV+ terminology, but doesn't nonbinary mean you don't "identify" as either gender?
The transwomen part is AGP
then the non-binary is a cop out for yourself to not put in the effort to be attractive (or at least not be repulsive at minimum).
meh.
It's not very Monkey Island.
And it just doesn't work for animation or expression, the eyes don't express emotion, the bodies and faces aren't shaped well for animating, and it's flat so you can't make the characters turn
Well, explains a lot. Those creatures can not create beauty. Sad how they raped the monkey Island name... when will the rape of these people end? the ruined so many games and movies. They groomed and raped so many children. When will it be enough? they are a virus to society
the fact they mention transgender means they're deanaming themselves. in trans movement, you're never supposed to refer to your previous identity/gender.
I tried to search it and now I'm even more confused
You're making noobie mistake #1: thinking these people make sense. I was once in a relationship with two feminists. One identified as bi. The other as straight and lesbian. The latter was the less insane of the two. They were both nonbinary.
If you replace "nonbinary" with "gender activist" it always works.
Probably the same things the dickheads that made Nidhogg 2 were thinking.
There have been instances where something that used an ugly art-style became iconic and memorable. Something like Beavis and Butthead, Ed Edd and Eddy, South Park. Naturally this drastically starts to lose its appeal the more we see it. Also there is a threshold of acceptable ugliness before the artist crosses into just obnoxious or repulsive.
>I'm shutting down comments. People are just being mean and I'm having to delete personal attack comments. It's an amazing game and everyone on the team is very proud of it. Play it or don't play it but don't ruin it for everyone else. I won't be posting anymore about the game on my blog. The joy of sharing has been driven from me.
Finally decided to revisit Curse since it stumped me many years ago, and is it just me or are these puzzles MI2 levels of nonsense?
I don't think my brain is wired for adventure games, even though I love them dearly. I just can't think like the developers of these things. Moon logic and all that.
>product announced >express disappointment >get accused of being a hater and entitled
why are products now being treated as gifts and criticism as hate speech?
Honestly, pretty delusional to think it'd ever look like the first example again. That was the definition of generic trying to copy real life except pixels.
"Realistic" is only a problem if the art direction itself is dreary or uncreative, which does not apply to the vibrant world of the original Monkey Island. I'd take "generic & realistic" art that's beautiful and skillful over "unique & quirky" art that's hideous and lazy any fricking day of the week.
If you really want to split hairs, though, the new Monkey Island looks far more generic than the classic one. The world is being over saturated by ugly, crude, simplified symbol drawings. It's much harder to find beautiful, realistic painterly art.
Nah, they just push the "morbid obesity is healthy and beautiful" bullshit because it's financially beneficial to pharmaceutical companies, fast food chains, corporations that produce junk food, fashion labels, etc.

Sorry but it's my dad's fgoat.
I have to mindlessly defend the original.
LucasArts games were popular with German gamers.

He saw this fanart and wanted the entire game to look like that. That's what he was thinking
>Who the frick makes something ugly and then tells everyone else they're wrong for not liking it?
Americans who went to some post-modern art school that cost them several hundred thousand dollars. There is no objectivity with those people, you cannot say it's bad because in "their reality" it's good.
It's too late to save it now, but even the most fricking minor of changes can at least add 1% more soul.

I was willing to give an abstract art MI a chance but looking at it, it just looks like cheap shit. Simple as

Did anyone archive the blog? I wanted to see if there's actual evidence of this "abuse" the guy claimed he was suffering.
Sadly... the "abuse" posts were moderated. So... no proof of any kind. Go easy on him, he can't claim "rape threats" since... well, he is guy.
>Game goes from realistic to cartoon
>NOOO THEY RUINED THE GAME
>Game goes from cartoon to realistic
>NOOO they ruined the game!
Just STFU
it's almost like changing shit for the sake of change is stupid
Part of the fun of the original detailed art style was all the cartoony shit the characters got up to that the when realistic shots of them came up, it helped add to the joke.
Friendly reminder that the developers think you're a retro fascist if you don't like the art style.
It will be hard to play and voice acted monkey island games now we know Dominic is a cuck.
That being said I'm a valid and based trans woman so day 1 buy for me.
what the frick is a retro fascist
retro = person who prefers the old style
fascist = I want to invalidate that person but lack any compelling arguments
sounds a lot like how the trannies just screech "transphobe" at anyone who disagrees with their delusions
From Retro, " a style or design from the recent past" and Fascist "A person you do not agree with but are unable to refute". What do they teach kids in school these days ?
He said only some are. In fact that whole thing was pretty levelheaded.
How is "some people complaining about this game are retrofascists" a levelheaded statement?
He didn't word it like that, in fact he was defending people who don't like the new art style by saying not all of them are retrofascists.
Dominic was being super level headed here.
He liked the look probably because as a creator/involved in the project he has a different point of view than the fan does.
He looked at the new artstyle and thought "cool that looks different and interesting."

Is he the new Phil Fish?
>if you dont like it thats sad because youll miss our good game
yeah, i agree and i will miss it and you'll be sad to miss my $
WHY DO YOU HATE PROGRESS
Goddamn it just looks so fricking ugly, wtf
I guess the..."cubic" artstyle could work, but Guybrush looks legitimately awful, like some troony. And what is with the red nose
I think its those dead button eyes that really push it over the line.
Looks like the guybrush from the alternate world in corraline.
meh.
It's not very Monkey Island.
And it just doesn't work for animation or expression, the eyes don't express emotion, the bodies and faces aren't shaped well for animating, and it's flat so you can't make the characters turn
>Guybrush looks legitimately awful, like some troony
They literally have a troony on the team, so go figure.
This is their lead writer btw
Monkey Island is being written by a troony
Let that sink in
Why I am not surprised that super cuck Ron Gilbert hired a troony to work on this game.
I lost my trust long ago.
>that troony account
Sometimes I think that shit like that is not real and it's just troll accounts but damn..
Well, explains a lot. Those creatures can not create beauty. Sad how they raped the monkey Island name... when will the rape of these people end? the ruined so many games and movies. They groomed and raped so many children. When will it be enough? they are a virus to society

its all for posturing and attention

Are you a masochist?
Why does monkey island have so many ugly games
I had only seen the 2022 one until now. lol wtf they really did that game dirty.
NFT looking ass
Probably the same things the dickheads that made Nidhogg 2 were thinking.
There have been instances where something that used an ugly art-style became iconic and memorable. Something like Beavis and Butthead, Ed Edd and Eddy, South Park. Naturally this drastically starts to lose its appeal the more we see it. Also there is a threshold of acceptable ugliness before the artist crosses into just obnoxious or repulsive.
Honestly almost everything about nidhogg 2 would work if the characters were drawn a serious looking duelists fighting in some crazy fricking world
Hate realism graphics

I want them to stop ruining all the games I like
>Left
Made by competent white men

OH MY GOD WHATS WRONG WITH YOUR FAAAAAAAACEEEEE?!

i literally never played a single monkey island game but i'm outraged

the new style is a lot cheaper and easy to replicate and animate
Wow, never knew there were so many Monkey Island fans on Ganker.
Just kidding. Frick off to Twitter, you disgusting drama prostitutes.

Honestly, pretty delusional to think it'd ever look like the first example again. That was the definition of generic trying to copy real life except pixels.
>generic
post another game that looks that good
Almost every old point and click adventure game of the era was going for that look.
OK post a pic then
The real game doesn't even look like that anyway. It's basically a cutscene shot and not the majority of the gameplay.
"Realistic" is only a problem if the art direction itself is dreary or uncreative, which does not apply to the vibrant world of the original Monkey Island. I'd take "generic & realistic" art that's beautiful and skillful over "unique & quirky" art that's hideous and lazy any fricking day of the week.

benis :DDDD
Ugly people need to destroy everything that is beautiful so they can feel normal.
Nah, they just push the "morbid obesity is healthy and beautiful" bullshit because it's financially beneficial to pharmaceutical companies, fast food chains, corporations that produce junk food, fashion labels, etc.
Yes! Someone gets it!
>WHAT WERE THEY THINKING
"I'm a fricking homosexual loser cuckold", or something similar
People were already making this meme image for the earlier remake so they thought why not completely lean into it to get some free Gankerublicity.
i hope the person making this pulls a phil fish and cancels it due to the sheer negative reception
You WILL eat the bugs
You WILL live in a pod
You WILL return to Monkey Island
Should have gone all in on realism and made TLOU2 graphics
he needs a backpack.
despite the shit graphics I rather liked his tales design.
