New Secret of Monkey Island released

[Ice Cream Jonsey]

I have never played one. I hope the rest of you enjoy your game.

Wow, really? Yeah, while I'm thoroughly enjoying this game it would be really hard for me to recommend it to anyone who hasn't at least played the first one. Revisiting the old locations is an awesome experience.

He didn't say he was playing it.

[Ice Cream Jonsey]

Nobody will commit to that yet.

That's what I meant about "Revisiting old places". I played it about 2.5 hours yesterday. I'm about to play it again shortly.

I AM PLAYING IT

On the QT, very hush hush.

Can you just tell us the secret of Monkey Island so we don't have to play it?

I have started it but I'm basically playing it like five minutes at a time so far. Monkey Island 2 introduced an option to play an easy mode or the hard version of the game, and at the time, I found it really cute how the easy version was different (after having already beaten the hard version).

So when "Curse of Monkey Island" came along, I played the easy version first with plans to play the harder version afterwards, but then I hated the humor in the game enough that I never have actually beaten the hard version.

But I did beat both versions of "Thimbleweed Park" (Gilbert's last game before this one) and had a lot of fun with it.

Anyhow, the point is, I can never fully decide if I want to start with the easy version or the hard version, and I started with the easy version this time... but then the basically-a-tutorial prologue held my hand SO much that I worried it was spoonfeeding some solutions to the hard version so I switched over to the other. But the prologue was basically the same (as far as I can tell) so I had nothing to worry about.

Just explaining all this for people who have no intention of playing the game, you know!
