Day of the Tentacle is definitely getting the HD treatment which is likely why it's held off. I just want Curse of Monkey Island.

When are they going to release Escape from Monkey Island? I know it's not great, but it's the only Monkey Island I haven't finished because it's unplayably glitchy on XP and beyond.

We also made a promise to bring you many more cult-classics in the future and, believe us, we did not forget. Meaning the first 6 games including 3 non Star Wars games. So where are my adventure games?

Presumably coming in the future? They're not going to quit adding Lucasarts games after they round out all the Star Wars stuff, just cool your jets.jivjov posted:Trying to get Rogue Squadron set up on my friend's PC, and we're having a bit of an issue; he's using a wired 360 controller just like I am, and while mine worked fine out of the box, (complete with a pre-programmed button assignment scheme that I messed with a bit) he can't configure anything in-game. The joystick config menu keeps reading a persistent Button 1 input from somewhere and tries to assign everything to that button. Any ideas on what may be causing this? Turns out the trick is to disable compatibility mode on Rogue Squadron.exe. I tried it just now and was able to use my wireless 360 controller without any problems. ovaries fucked around with this message at 20:32 on Jan 23, 2015 |

I would love Outlaws so that we get a resurgence in multiplayer, also I can't install it on Windows 7 because the installer is so out of date  If they do finally release Full Throttle I hope they can finally restore the iMuse because playing it through SCUMMVM means quite a few of the triggers in cutscenes either do not happen or are delayed so long that they lose their punch.

It's been a while since I played it, but I certainly remember quite a few good moments that at least tickled me (Elaine's lawyers, reuniting the original crew, bribery and blackmail to win the diving contest and of course Murray).

I found it moderately tolerable and even occasionally fun up until Guybrush gets dumped on Monkey Island. Up to that point, the worst part was that they pulled the ultimate "we're introducing a new villain, lets show him to be a super badass by having the series former villain kowtow to him" scenario that you see in bad comic books all the time. Then the game starts brutally loving the backstory of the other games WITH ABSOLUTELY NO PAYOFF. And again it's to make the new villain more badass, but all it accomplishes is pissing off people who were invested in the original games who, I feel it necessary to point out, were the only people who were going to buy a new adventure game at that point in gaming history. And I know you said "the less said about Monkey combat the better" but I've got some poo poo to say. The game had already weirdly fetishized Insult fighting by having Insult Arm Wrestling and the whole Ultimate Insult thing, and then they take the only remotely entertaining thing about it, the insults, and strip it out leaving only the tedious awful repetitive part that takes forever plus a bunch of note-taking to complete! THEN THEY MAKE THIS lovely SYSTEM THE CENTERPIECE OF THE FINALE, and as a kicker, the way to "win" requires you to have repeatedly hosed up during the "training" and then noticed a very minor thing that happens when you gently caress up like this. I must have tried to win Monkey Combat with Giant LeChuck for an hour before I finallly gave up and looked up the goddamn solution. I'm getting pissed just thinking about it now. It's really a shame because it's not a terrible game until the final act and then it has the double-whammy of legacy making GBS threads plus one of the worst game mechanics ever devices, and it didn't even have the visual charm of the earlier games. Edit: I have strong feelings about 15 year old games about Pirates and Monkeys.

There are still a fair few Lucas games on Steam that aren't on GOG yet, so I would have to assume that they will be there eventually. There's the other Indiana Jones adventure game, Last Crusade if I remember correctly, Loom, The Dig, all of the sequels to Dark Forces (Outcast etc) and probably a bunch of others that I've forgotten. After that, who knows? Maybe the GOG bigwigs should make a list of all of the possible Lucas games out there, let people vote, and then push the hardest to add those that get the most votes. Presumably, those would be the ones that would sell the most.

I'm gonna go against the grain and say that I don't think the rest of the game is very good either. Convoluted puzzles, bland environments, jokes like Murray are run into the loving ground. I think the only legitimately good thing about it is the voice acting - there are some great performances here and there, like Ignatius Cheese and Ozzie Mandrill. Otherwise gently caress that game.

If you're ever stupid enough to consider playing Escape twice, just remember this; You need to learn the three-input codes to switch between each stance for each of the five forms. That's four different three-input codes for five stances for a total of twenty, and the only way to learn them is to hope you watch other monkeys do them during fights. And each stance's strength and weaknesses against the other are also randomized.

I've seen an LP of Escape from Monkey Island and have something to add: The entire plot is loving bizarre given that the Monkey Island franchise is already a theme park version of piracy and was based on the pirates of the caribbean ride at disney. I'm really not sure if theme park version of theme park version of piracy being the big horrible threat is some kind of joke I'm not parsing or just dumb.

Neddy Seagoon posted:Pretty sure you'd have better odds of winning the lottery than seeing Forge get made at this point. I seem to remember Brian Moriarty providing positive feedback to a few of the fan attempts for a sequel. I think one was called "Chaos", and is no longer active, and the other is called "Forge", is still active and is probably the most promising of the bunch (yes, there were more than two, and one I got to play some 7 years ago was pure garbage). So we will probably see some (fan made) sequel, at some point. I just think that with Winnick being involved in the very successful (beyond or against logical expectations) Thimbleweed kickstarter and other former (and famous) LucasArts people trying their own projects on kickstarter, it would be reasonable to expect Moriarty to do so too.

Rebellion chat: I can't catch Vader. I've got him cornered, I've got top men on the case. Luke and his team of 3 other force sensitive covert ops characters can't get the job done did. A team of 7 non-force people can't do it. Can't catch him if I invade. This guy's good.

iirc vader has some of the best stats in the game bar none. You need a tonne of highly skilled men with decoys to capture him. I recommend Han solo and other non-force users, tbh. I think vader gains a bonus against weaker force users. On the other hand, iirc every time Luke has an encounter with vader he gains a tonne of xp. So arguably you can use vader to level up luke to grandmaster.
