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. Also check out the Special Editions for MI 1 and 2 which were very good: https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/6588/Monkey_Island_Col...

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?

I loved Curse of Monkey Island. One of my favorite games as a kid. The animation was beautiful, had great humor, etc. Just an awesome game.
