Finished: My very important complains
So, after this episode i finally know: Telltales listen to critics and try, as far as it is possible, to improve:
More piratey pirates? Check!
Island-hopping? Check!
More diversity in the charackter design? Check!
Sword battle? Check!
A darker atmosphere? Check!
Better dialouge trees? Check!
Epic swashbuckling feeling? Check!
So, everybody who says Telltale don't listens to the fans is either blind and dumb or a complete moron.
Bad was the sound-compression. I never noticed it on Sam&Max, but in the royal chamber, it was the very first time. Ruined the perfect voice-acting (which was superb in the royal chamber) a bit. But i'm sure Telltale has a good reason, why they keep it low. An explanation would be nice, nontheless.
Okay, the reused the jungle bit. But it felt quite different to Flotsam: Due to the music, evening-light falling through trees, manatee-statues in the backwood, the awesome skeleton and the wrecked rowboat the wood had another, moody atmosphere. Liked that. One question: In Mi1 and Mi2 we have different kinds of forest, in Escape and ToMI we only have palm-woods. Will we see some other fortests? Would be awesome. I recognized it the last time i played EMI. They replaced all the regular trees on Melee-Island with palms.
Then they reused some character models. But they made them quite unique due to the addition of clothes, beards and details like the glass-eye and the dread locks of McGilicutty. Arrrr. liked him. Definitley a piratey pirate.
The little Isled to travel were nice too...the shack was an awesome locations as well as the Isle with the skeleton.
Not so fond of the ships. Liked the screaming Narwhal the other pirate-ships looked a little too random.
So, that's it for the first bit. Hope you enjoy the reading.
Hard Laughs: Guybrushs reactions on the fish jokes. Brilliant!
