I really wish HN had spoiler tags so I could give a warning about why lots of people will find the story disappointing compared to classic adventure games. I guess maybe I can say that if you were ever annoyed by the ending of Monkey Island 2, stay far away from this one.
- Trasmatta 6y agoI loved the ending of Monkey Island 2, so maybe I would enjoy this game.
- sedatk 6y agoI loved it too. I loved how they connected it to the first game in the ending chapter and all the fourth wall breaks.
- talideon 6y agoToo "fourth wall" for you, I'm guessing? I mean the whole game was heavily fourth wall from the beginning. (That's as close to a non-spoiler as I can get.)
- someguyorother 6y agoI completely agree. There's a sort of modern sentiment that a reference is funny in itself, and that fourth-wall is funny just by being fourth-wall. I also had the feeling it was a little too proud of some of its (other) jokes, and wore them out.
- silveroriole 6y agoIn this case it’s not even that modern, since Gilbert was responsible for the MI2 ending. So in the last 30 years he still hasn’t realised that ending with “it was all a dream” isn’t really that clever!
- someguyorother 6y agoThat's part of it, but there's also the part that values shout-outs or references for their own sake. There's much more of that now than there was in MI2's time.
