    Ok, so I was able to climb back up all the way to Production designer. Now what?

    Use the driveshaft with the Production Designer and he'll give you a jar of pickles. I don't really want to help you any more than that but I'll say this...
    Where else have you see pickles in the game? Scurf Island, perhaps?

    CRUD! When asked which pants to leave the driveshaft in, I must have chosen the wrong pants! Now I'm stuck 3/4th way up the fake credits and I can't escape! Is there an alternate solution or is this Lucas Arts's tm first dead-end puzzle?
    {Dead-end puzzle} n. A puzzle in which an item is needed that is possible to leave behind in a place where it cannot be retrieved. In other words, your hosed.

    My least favorite part was how they had so many damn worthless repeat characters. Did we really need to see Largo even though he contributed nothing to the storyline?
  • edited July 2009
    Even more than that, did we have to hear bra jokes over and over again?! It is funny once and only once! ...barely!

    Finally made it past the fake credits. (Turns out you can skydive to the bottom, but doing so lowers your score by 8999 points. Bummer.) Anyone else think that the "Generic Board Game" island was a little unnecessary?
  • edited July 2009
    I really hated recruiting the crew. I mean Beating them in the unnecessary Generic Boardgame Island was boring and making them all melt thier dices with Grog, What the Heck?

    The retail price was $599.99. :(

    Plus shiping and handling from another dimension.

    I still say they overcharge.

    Not to mention the $50 subscription and monthly credit card payment.

    Drat! Should have read the fine print! Man, video games just keep getting more complected. First there was 3-D graphics, then motion control, and now you need to hire your own lawyer before you play a game.
  • edited July 2009
    Lucky for us, LucasArts includes a 10-day-trial period for the mini-lawyer kit included in the box set.

    I thought the "alien abduction" puzzle was unnecessary too - totally copied from "Life of Brian". And what was up with that killer rabbit?

    You mean him?

    I expect it was some crossover deal with Ubisoft. You know, like Sonic and Snake in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

    EDIT: Do I also spy a purple tentacle in that screen shot?

    Did anyone else get the Limited Edition package? You know, with the three inch plastic model of Guybrush attacking an ATM with a flugelhorn? And the extra multiplayer maps?
  • edited July 2009
    ^ Nah, I heard it was full of bugs.

    Literally.

    Someone was stupid enough to think bugs would add to the player experience.
  • edited July 2009
    The multiplayer stuff is an interesting idea, but it's virtually unplayable because of all the lag - possibly because the servers are hosted in a different dimension...
  • edited July 2009
    Aww, come on. You're just going against the general opinion for the heck of it! *turns around and crosses arms*

    I really don't like this game. And that's saying something, because I'm a HUGE MI fan.
    First of all, did anyone else hate that the opening credits took like six hours? And you couldn't even skip them! And worst of all, they chose the WORST songs to play while you were waiting for the game to start.
    The part where you go to Llama Island was just ridiculous. There was absolutely no comic relief there. I kept getting stuck at the part where you're at the Grog machine and it kept eating your money. LITERALLY. What was up with that?!
    I kinda liked the part where you got to insult sword fight with Sam and Max, though. That was pure gold. Sam's insults were kinda lame though.
    Right now, I'm stuck at the part where Guybrush lost his wedding ring in the sewer and you have to find it. I don't see it anywhere. Any ideas, guys?

    Return to Pirate Heaven and use the Larynx of Pirateship to drain the pipes. Sidenote: Don't feed the Big-Lipped Alligator™ or you'd get caught in its endless singing.

    BTW, I just find out the Guybrush Action Figure that comes with the Collector's Edition is made of candlewax, brown sugar and some uranium-1138. Needless to say, I now have a large glowing puddle of Guybrush. :mad:
  • edited July 2009
    Oh, thanks! Now I got it!
    Are you talking about the three-headed, big-lipped alligator? Or the regular big-lipped alligator?
  • edited July 2009
    The two-headed one. The fat one with the lipstick. I think its name was Otto, Boris or maybe Faust. To be sure, don't feed anything while in the sewers.
  • edited July 2009
    I liked the part where LeChuck and his skeletal army danced the Thriller. I still play that bit over and over again.
  • edited July 2009
    OMG (Oh My Guybrush). I just made the aircraft out of bamboo and coconuts and I have four words.
    MONKEYS ON A PLANE!!!
  • edited July 2009
    Meh, that bit's alright, but it leads into an extended chase scene/polka dance number that goes on for far too long and flashes subliminal messages about buying Star Wars merchandise all over the screen.

    Thanks for warning me: I was just about to buy a 10ft Jar-Jar Binks statue and I didn't know why. You just saved me a whole lot of money.

    You could also save a lot of money on your car insurence by switching to Geico.
    Sorry, couldn't resist.

    Ah yes, I LOVED the Geico joke in the game. (Actually, what I loved was Guybrush shooting the salamander out of the Grand Cannon after the sales pitch.)

    By the way, what did you guys think of Guybrush visiting real world locations in the game? I think it was cheep when he came to America, but Antarctica was the best Monkey Island location to date!
  • edited July 2009
    Well, Stan selling refrigerators to the penguins was kind of funny I admit, but the Santa thing was jumping the shark. I mean
    LeChuck is Santa?
    What the Heck? And they even managed to put him on the wrong Pole. Talk about bad reseach.

    That was one thing that seemed a little odd - did LucasArts really think they needed so many multi-headed monkeys? I guess they thought that a 4-headed monkey would funnier than a 3-headed one, and they really took it to an extreme! The 300-headed monkey was completely absurd.

    I'm having problems getting past this part. I've followed the trail of monkeys from 1 to 300 heads, and the 300-headed monkey just gave me a message to deliver to the 3-headed monkey. I went back to where the 299-headed monkey used to be, but it seems like all the monkeys moved and are hiding around PigGut Island. It took me 20 hours just to trace from 1 to 300! (since each monkey just gave me a convoluted puzzle for where to find the next in the sequence) Is there a faster way to go backwards, 'cause I don't know if I can do that again...:confused:

    What? Just use the voodoo monkey head on any monkey nearby, then write the desired number on its forehead. BTW, I was talking about the alligators back there.
  • edited July 2009
    Guys... 2 things about Santa
    1) He lives in the North Pole; Antartica is the Sout Pole
    2) Remember, you meet
    Lechuck
    Santa when he's vacationing in Hawaii. Ah, the running jokes about the little umbrella's in the drinks...

    Yeah - the alligators just reminded me of the monkeys.

    I don't have the voodoo monkey head...:( Guess I missed that earlier in the game. Good thing I saved it before I got stranded here...

    You don't FIND the voodoo monkey head, you make it.

    Go to the zoo. In the back of the EMPLOYEES ONLY room is a door that leads to the Zoo Cemetery. Pickup the shovel and use it to dig up the skull of Sir Walter Jojo. Then, go to the Voodoo Cafe, order the Voodoo yogurt (it's the only thing you can afford), and combine it with the skull to make the Voodoo monkey head.

    Also, before you combine them together, try to use the yogurt on Guybrush for hilarious results.
  • edited July 2009
    Do you find anything by digging up the other graves? It's really tedious, and if there's an easter egg it might be worth it.
  • edited July 2009
    Was the whole steampunk robot LeChuck backstory subplot chapter after the credits supposed to be a joke? Because I wasn't laughing.
  • edited July 2009
    Do you guys recall this game having like a million different working titles during it's pre-production? What was that really stupid one...?

    It's a joke thread. There's no real Monkey Island 5.

    Actually there is... it was a fan made game that Lucasarts disposed of after about 3 months. I never played it.... but I heard it was pretty decent
