THE JAG IS BACK, BABY

Releasing 10 games in a series (plus several spinoffs) in 5 years is truly a mind-boggling business decision, even by Megaman standards.

Guybrush is way funnier as a blandly handsome himbo no one likes, every depiction of him after LeChuck’s Revenge sucks ass, actually now that I think about it I kinda dislike a lotta character art in those LucasAarts adventure games, I think I hate almost all late 20th century American animation, God, fuck cartoons, I think if I ever met Chuck Jones I would have stolen his bow tie and flush it down a toilet, I really hate those little eyes-half-closed-smirks all his characters had after a point, I think I made a mistake in not having breakfast yet

yeah honestly I think that’s a large part of why I like the first monkey island more than the others. he’s relatable and funny as a hapless loser. he’s a lot more boring as the seasoned adventurer they portray him as in the sequels.

That 3D remake of Haunted House they showed off for just a second (at 1:10) looks delightfully silly (I love it).

I mean the art style does look vaguely like the “memphis style” noodle arm thing, but I don’t hate that aesthetic beyond the associations that have grown around it.

it’s more the paper doll animation stuff that rubs me the wrong way. it feels like a budget compromise, but honestly I can accept it if the writing/design is still good.

Actually I think the new artstyle isn’t weird enough. The art director’s other stuff like Tearaway and Knights and Bikes looks awesome but this is just kinda uninteresting in comparison.

Ah I loved Tearaway! Underrated. Nobody talks about it.

This is very funny to me but also heartbreaking

People want a new game so bad they’ll buy $40k worth of stock just to ask em about it and get a straight answer. Hell, I want a new Fzero. Redout and other indie games seem to be filling the void, but…it just isn’t the same yanno?
