You're kinda right. You quickly get used to it.

Pros in the game
>Nice colors
>Pretty funny
>Faithful sequel

Cons
>Blatantly unfinished final act
>Ron Gilbert's worst ending yet, how does he do it?
>Diversity characters have really bad voice acting, except for voodoo lady of course
>More than 20 bucks for a game

I think back in the day, when games had to reckon with the graphical limitations of the Amiga, having a detailed, realistic portrait like on the left was really impressive. But in the modern day, where there practically are no graphical limitations, realism like that isn't very interesting, so games now have to focus on having a more novel, unique style to stand out.
You can see it with the recent ALttP remakes too. The pixel sprites of the original are charming, but were made due to technical limitations. Nintendo today could remake ALttP with realistic characters and graphics, but it wouldn't be all that interesting, so in the remake everything looks like toys or stylized miniatures.

You have to realize that creators stare at their own work way, way, way longer than anyone else. If you ask a creator to come back to something they worked on before, they're going to want to radically change things just for the sake of changing it.

Also, >>691849708 except it was Ron himself who saw it and fell in love with the style because it was different.
>>
>>691850657
This is definitely part of things. Sometimes it feels like the modern world nickels and dimes you just for breathing, like that one episode of DBZ Kai where the hotel charges them for looking at the art.

The reality is that most of that shit is stuff you don't need and would probably be better off skipping but it eats into your finances a lot more than you think.

Your grandparents probably spent 3 months worth of salaries on them while you barely spent 3 days worth of work to buy that garbage.

Number crunchers discovered that innovation isn't as efficient as milking known franchises so they leaned into the latter, but because people who actually like games don't want to make low quality trash, they hire people who hate games to develop them

point is little kids should not be playing mature games. millions of parents let their kids play games that should be for people past 16

>>691853279
videogames, just like movies CAN be for adults. most games are actually not fit for kids. all the major AAA series are adult games with adult themes and stories.
>>
Gilbert saw dollar signs is why.
Dude had decades of "yeah i'm totally going to make a retro game in the vein of MI2 if I ever get the opportunity and i'll ignore all the nu stuff" and then went full shill for this garbage while shitting on the people who cared.

He literally hired this guy that tweeted a random guybrush pic he drew

Ron looked at this and went "yup i want a whole game to look like this". He hates monkey island as evident by the seething 3 causes him.
>>
The funny thing is Gilbert actually slipped up and admitted he picked that style because it was "provocative" which meant it was good in his wine aunt lexicon.
Imagine being so retarded to pick something provocative and then act all shocked and indignant that people were provoked by it. Fucking retard.

Red noses are drawn by artists that have got the eternal blush from alcohol and are trying to normalize the shameful thing. I have it but at least I'm not a cocksucker that tries to vicesignal everyone else to become an alcoholic like me.

Is there any good critique of Return? Seems like everyone is sucking its dick and, at best, ignoring the art style.

Probably doesn't hurt that he was a point & click fag who made point & clicks before he became a reviewfag.

No it has a shitty "you're a fuckwit for caring" bit attached with a direct message about them growing past MI.
>>
>>691855530
Which was stupid then and now. I liked return, very smooth gameplay but very very easy. The worst part aside from the weird anti climatic ending was the really bad voice work on the side character. The locksmith girl was god awful especially next to veterans. It does have one of my fav versions of Elaine though

It's funny because it's literally the ending of Thimbleweed Park
It makes me wonder if Ron isn't just saying he's done with games and wishes people would quit asking him to make more because he wants to be some snooty hollywood director instead of game designer. Blind to the reality he's not talented enough to be one.

Hitler talks about this in his lectures. Classical art gives way to formless and less precise forms given fancy names to sound legitimate to hide their ugliness. Yet traditional art is not emphasized or is even ignored in our modern education.
