Why was there such a massive backlash to Return to Monkey Island's art style?

Monkey Island has had several different art styles over the years so this is nothing new

because it's fucking hideous, retard

Just look at that little faggot, with the earring and the make-up. Yeah, buddy, that's his own hair.

Pissbaby gamercel croods won't accept art styles that aren't anime or hecking retro pixel art

Because it's fucking hideous you retard.

It's cheap when the previous Monkey Island games were pioneers in graphics.

>>
>>729396217
How many fucking times has he done the "actually it was all a dream/made up/a themepark" ending shit now? What is that faggot's obsession with that dogshit twist?
>>
>>729395726
I watched some streamer play through this recently and its amazing just how much disdain this game has for the original. I guess the creator is one of those people who got tired of being asked or praised for their work all the time and grew to hate it. Oddly enough despite all that its also filled with memberberries moments out the ass for no reason other than to nostalgiabait. It wants its cake and to eat it too. Also Guybrush has a dick nose.
>>
>>729395726
>"GUYS WHAT IF THE STORY YOU'RE SEEING WAS ALL...LE FAKE?!"
Why did he do this same twist three fucking times? Why is he so enamored by it? Why can't he just tell a story?
>>
>>729397239
>>729396217
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I think these people saw the ending of St. Elsewhere and think it is the be all end all of storytelling.
>>
>>729397571
I think the twist can work if it's something that happens in the midgame and forces the story to cope with it from there, but when you do it at the end like that retard keeps doing it's just a FUCK YOU to the audience for absolutely no reason.
>>
>>729397445
>I guess the creator is one of those people who got tired of being asked or praised for their work all the time and grew to hate it
It's all he will ever be known for and he fucking hates it despite it being one of the most influential games of its time that has fans decades later. But no, he's pissy because no one likes his shitty 2010s Kickstarter game that ALSO has another fucking "meta" ending.
>>
honestly the neck pisses me off more than anything. why are these people so incessant on pissing off their old fans? who do they expect to buy a new game in a franchise?
>>
>>729397662
My favorite variation of the twist is that one or two characters see the world completely differently from another and it completely changes the tone. There was a show a few years back called "Kevin Can F Himself" that cut between a stereotypical sitcom and the "real world" and it was pretty creative.

Yahtzee shitting on this game felt especially good because Gilbert seems like the kind of person to take his opinions as gospel so it must have hurt to hear "This could have been a few tweets about how you resent your past creation, Ron"
>>
>>729397239
He has claimed that he thinks an ending that bothers people to the point of them talking about it is more valuable than an ending that satisfies people. I dunno we're talking about it, but monksy island is kind of irrelevant these days because not that many people have lingering fondness for it anymore and I think these endings play a large part
>>
>>729397765
Thimbleweed Park? Yeah, they namedrop Blazing Saddles a lot from what I remember which tipped me off where the ending was going
>>
>post garbage
>"duhh why nobody liked this???"
Imagine being so desperate for attention you make a thread like this.

I suppose its the same for the art style
At least people are talking about it

That really did ruin an entire generation. They're still dickriding it to this day.

It was genuinely shocking, forty years ago. Now it is just stupid. Imagine if Harry Potter ended like "And then Harry woke up under the stairs"

>>729397239

I dont mind it in 2 because the ending scene also implies its just LeChuck trapping Guybrush in some kind of mental hell illusion which is where they go for the third game to walk it back.
>>
>>729398109
I remember watching a streamer who claimed he was a fan of the series drop it at the pirate leaders because he realized that the creators are just incredibly bitter about the series

This whole subversive "nothing le matters" style of audience-unfriendly writing is falling out of vogue

it could've been... tolerable with nice animation

but nope, they couldn't even do that
>>
>>729398813
If "nothing le matters" why should this be a video game instead of a Twitter rant? Why can't he just make a post going
>"Look guys, I know you like Monkey Island. But I'm sick of it. I want to do other things. I want to try something else and have people enjoy it. Please give something else I do a chance, I don't want to make Monkey Island until I die"
That could have saved tens of thousands of dollars, thousands of manhours, and loads of marketing costs. Is he stupid?
>>
>>729398813
I don't think it's really a good comparison to play some bullshit like the last jedi. Ron has always been like this and people haven't really liked it. A lot of subversive works people complain about often do have some kind of legitimate point, ron's really do just feel like he's making fun of people who get invested. I remember The Cave was also about not letting your obsessions corrupt you and like... Okay the game wasn't very fun or funny though, ron. You're not really cutting deep to the root of human behavior you're just being kind of annoying
>>
>>729399321
>really do just feel like he's making fun of people who get invested
I legitimately believe he wishes he had never made Monkey Island at this point. He hates it. He made the remake to kill it, to get rid of any fans it had. And it worked, so he must be happy right?

>>729398109
The problem is that this faggot does it just to do it, he doesn't have a proper reason to have that kind of ending he just does it because he's seen media written way better than his shit do it too. The difference is that unsatisfying endings from stuff like say The Sopranos or Uncut Gems work because the entire story forshadowed and built up to those endings when you look back and connect the dots. What this retard doesn't understand is that he simply doesn't have the pen game to properly pull off an ending like that so it just always comes off as a lazy cop out ending pretending to be deep because that's exactly what it fucking is. I'm so sick of writers thinking they need to be as subversive as possible in order to make anything good.

>>729398597
It would be worse than that. It would be like
>The whole Wizarding World was the delusions of a schizophrenic homeless woman living on the streets of London
Then it zooms out to reveal J.K. Rowling (played by post-wall Emma Watson) digging through the trash.
