It will be the same in this game, yes, because they will once again not showing the possible actions.

Actually this game has much better cursor and interacting with items is also improved and streamlined. No need for that big ugly verb icon attatched to the arrow.

Only complaint I have, the dialog options still have the ugly white blobs in front of them. With first game I could let it slide because original version had nothing for that but the second game has skull symbols originally so why couldn't they use them.

So I just bought it and apparently (even though I didn't preorder) I still got the first part for free? O.o Seeing as I already have it, I got one to give away. Anybody wants?

Seriously, MI_SE seems only there for nostalgic people who liked the old game. I'm ashamed to say I didn't play MI when I was young, but I tried the demo version of MI1_SE and couldn't like it. There were no joke AT ALL in the whole demo, and the voices sounded like they were done for 5yo kids.

On other hand, I played all Telltales episodic games and it was the best entertainment experience I had in years.

Now I just have to decide whether I try that one or not.

Well i did play all the old LucasArts games when i was young like crazy. But still i feel that none of the episodes (being Sam&max or MI) came even close to the quality of the originals.

I played Tales of Monkey Island...and it's just not even close.

And MI1 is one long joke, just like the second. It's pure gold. I can't imagine you not liking it if you like adventure games and comedy...

They axed the intro of the game Sad After the pre-intro scene with Guybrush and Elaine the game immediately skips to Scabb Island, no dancing monkeys and intro music Crying or Very sad

Considering this whole Monkey Island remake project is not meant to attract new customers but rather a fan service, it's a bad start.

Heh, I guess they saw a cash inflow from audience they did not think would be interested, and are streamlining it. What I wonder is why not just make it skipable. The first SE had the intro song but was unskipable, so I guess people complained about that, but it's not like it's very hard to make it skipable with a button.

One good occasion to play this classic once again ( must be the 8th time or so ) I guess, even though I kinda liked doing the voices myself, in my little kid's head Very Happy
The best adventure game there has ever been imo

And Dunge, you just CAN'T like TellTale episodic games and NOT like the originals. It's blasphemy !
I kinda liked TellTale games though, they were pretty ok - not great but ok - and I just couldn't say no to some continuation to my beloved Monkey Island, especially when it tried so hard to be in the spirit of the originals.

At least they improved the art style for guybrush in this one, in the first SE he looked a bit retarded.

The intro of the first remake WAS skipable with the backapce key, and this one's could have been the same. What a shame.

I've got a different error:

Code:
 Faulting application name:   Monkey2.exe
  Version:    1.0.0.0
  Time stamp:   4c23dcb1
  Faulting module name:   steam_api.dll
  Version:      7.9.87.40
  Time stamp:  4b60a94b
  Fault offset:  0001d010
  Exception code:   c0000005


It's not the DX problem, as I've tried the solution mentioned above.
I assume it's a steam problem, but I'm kinda new to the steam pirated games and don't know how to fix it


EDIT: Used the original steam_api.dll that was installed with the game instead of the cracked one - it works now.

Half the bugs he talks about in his review are non-existent when I'm playing... but I do agree that taking out the intro with the dancing monkeys is a horrible decision.
