An April fools where the Fools is that it was real? This has happened before.
Really playing the long game there!

- After all these years?!
- Always.
I actually liked Curse of Monkey Island (MI 3) but am very excited for this one.
Also check out the Special Editions for MI 1 and 2 which were very good: https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/6588/Monkey_Island_Col...
Funny how this was a April Fools announcement that only fooled people who thought it was fake! I actually liked Curse of Monkey Island (MI 3) but am very excited for this one.

Recently, an old friend, upon hearing my "LeChuck fanfare" ringtone: - After all these years?! - Always.
Never got into Monkey Island series. I didn't find the dialogues particularly funny and puzzles were a bit too hard for me to figure out. I wish there was a sequel to Indiana Jones: Fate of Atlantis however. That one I still revisit every few years.
However, MI2 is a cult hit, and rightfully so. It was the first adventure game I played on my first PC (a 286 @16 MHz with 2Mb of RAM but upgraded with SB Pro) and still have fond memories of the atmosphere and the excitement when I figured some other puzzle out.
Some parts of the translations where totally messed up, making it so hard to understand what I needed to do in the game that I stopped playing it for some years until I could figure out in English what was been said at some parts of the story.
Finishing it was some kind of a personal achievement for me when I was younger.

I have no idea why there is so much derision for CoMI on various forums, it was a good game, and the objections to it are never spelled out. Keeping my expectations in check for this new one, too-- why are we assuming it will necessarily be great, again?
We assume this one will be great because Ron Gilbert hasn't lost his humor and he recently delivered a good game with Thimbleweed Park. So he's most certainly capable (also other stars like the voice actor of guybrush and the musician Michael Land are back, too).
Earlier quoted context omitted.

the derision of MI3 stems from the fact that it's not Ron Gilbert "endorsed" (or made from him). My personal opinion is that it's stylistically above everything else but I recently played 3 and 4 again and I have to say: The jokes in 4 are way better. Considering that part 4 is "universally" derided, this just means that it's best to make up your own mind (but for new players who are short on time: just play 1+2 :D).…
