Good luck wanting that.
I'll take console tied (because odds flipping on it will be) but duckroll's reasoning's seem sound.
Orrrrr it could be the best and worst of both worlds.

I thought it was just that Deep Down renamed? After all that looked very similar. That looked like it was for consoles and not mobiles. If it's online I feel like it will have microtransactions either way.
Battling controls is never enjoyable, issues such as Manny rotating to the opposite direction whenever he touched a collider box while running, were detrimental. But that wasn't as bad as failing to get puzzle solutions recognised by the game because the game demanded very precise position for Manny/item to be in while the controls lacked ant kind of precision.
Nothing worse than figuring out a puzzle solution but thinking you didn't due to a mixture of bad controls and some bad design decision.
Monkey Island might have a few of obtuse puzzles admittedly, but overall I thought that the majority of puzzles in the first two MI were well thought off, which is the opposite ratio of my experience with GF.
The years between didn't help, the story simply felt fragmented.
Honestly I felt act 2 was the highlight of the game and that was pretty much it's own self contained story.
I'll replay the game at some point after buying it, but I doubt my opinion will change much. I'm hoping that at least my issues regarding the controls were fixed on the remaster, that by itself would already help.
I do think the writing makes the game worth being experienced.

When was the last Capcom PC game that didn't?
They just converted to Steamworks releases not long ago too.
Someone tweeted Ono to ask what is happening with Deep Down and he replied that is still being worked on and they will have more info so I guess they're separate. It did look oddly Assassin's Creedy with an Animus like overarching narrative.
And yes apparently DDO has microtransactions, Capcom doing microtransactions
Sounds like a typical Chrome engine game from Techland. Every release of their's has stuttered on PC at launch but eventually get's patched up.
In speaking of Capcom migrating games to steamworks. What happened to Dead Rising 2? What's the status?
Ah right. It's kind of weird that they're working on two arpgs then. Not that I'm complaining!someone tweeted Ono to ask what is happening with Deep Down and he replied that is still being worked on and they will have more info so so I guess they're separate.

No news since the announcement on their site. According to SteamDB they haven't started the migration.
That's honestly my favourite one as well. I didn't play MI until the remakes, so I was shocked at how strongly the game core design and writing were, not many games age that well. If I hadn't known I would never had guessed they were such old titles.
Shame about the art direction in the first game remake and the janky animations due to frame limit in the second game remake.

So much for that. I'll miss your stories about how you still have the original CD. Good times. :O
The jumps in time made the game feel more epic and like you've known these character far longer than you actually have, not enough games do that even today. Also I disagree with the puzzles and basically every other criticism other than the controls, the only Lucas Arts adventure I would rate higher is Indiana Jones Atlantis but I haven't replayed any of them recently.

Just finished Grim Fandango's first year.
I activated the tank controls in the main menu in order to get an achievement, but they don't really seem to be any different than most PnC games... Why were the controls so reviled, then? Is there any puzzle later in the game that requires precise movements?

If I could make it out an entire year only buying 2 cheap Steam games a month, that would already be at the lowest end of my goal.

But they were nothing like p'n'c since you didn't point and click. It was a huge change, I could deal with it in GF because the rest was so great but by the time Escape from Monkey Island came around.... no thanks.

I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
Most of them are sleeping.
Good catch, appears it's gone now.

Leave Tim Schafer alone.
He might have only made one good game in the last twenty five years, but Day of the Tentacle almost makes up for the rest of them.

This post makes me sad.
I bet you missed my greenlight updates! So here is one:
150 games were greenlit till my last update, not going to make a list this time, too many. Fantasy Mosaics unfortunately was not greenlit, kindly upvote it, steamgaf.
this looks all kind of interesting and mentioning Twin Peaks as inspiration always helps too.
paper point and click, unfortunately it's a kickstarter game and I doubt it'll be successful
another kickstarter game, looks not bad too
the game we all have been waiting for! Toro your way to glory
there are much more notable submissions, but as of late most seem to be at the "just a concept" stage.

Thanks for your offer, but it's OK, I would have given it away anyway, no rush, I just wanted to whine some about indiegala some (><)

I'm not sure which are abused more humans or animals in this particular case, but you don't care about humans, am I right? (><)
you can downvote it, just saying

This is not 2025 though.
What is this one good game Tim Schafer has made since 1990? Psychonauts? Grim Fandango?
Now I can't help but wonder what your prefered FOV is.
I've always had a hard time finding what suits me. :|
Also looking forward to reading your pieces!

So what he's saying is, it's all of the collectibility and none of the uPlay?
I'm having a hard time seeing a downside here...
Speaking of: Will the Remastered Version of this be a minimal effort as well or can we expect some Monkey Island 2 Special Edition-esque "proper Remaster"?
It will all be done in CLAYMATION!

It has me written all over it, but the backlog to my backlog's been backlogged.
I'll wait a bit after release. Maybe when it leaves Early Access?

We'll know when they give us a release estimate. We all knew what we were getting with fandango with how quick the announcement and release was.
