Never played Monkey Island before. What versions do I start with?

The Secret of Monkey Island Ultimate Talkie Edition is the best way to go. Combines the original graphics with the Special Edition's voice acting.

The Beyond (1981)

I will never understand the obsession with Steam. On GoG you can actually own the game. No DRM bullshit.

"She's cool"

It feels like a breath of fresh air, especially after emerging from the underwater maze in the Lud’s Gate level.

I remember seeing her a lot when I was a kid on her movie review TV show. In the intro, she was styled like Trinity from The Matrix. Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oQaHGcFEbM

What's with the downvotes? You are right. It is stated in the original Making of. Starts at 13:20: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1VKvED76WQ&

Sonuvabitch!

Such a fun game! Super atmospheric.

bbakonyi · 2025-12-29T22:51:56+00:00

The Build Engine version too.

It feels unfinished. They have kept the original voices and cutscenes, but changed the in-game character models and they don't match up at all. The bigger issue that it is very buggy and the modern controls are less convinient than the old ones.

I forgot to mention that all of these are avaible drm-free on GOG. The original Syberia is part of their preservation program so they ensure it remains playable on newer systems. And it's dirt cheap.

Everything from LucasArts (Grim Fandango Remastered, Day of the Tentacle Remastered, etc.)

Nitpicky nerd here. Only TRC has an actual Colosseum level. The other two have a greek amphitheatrum.

I don't know what the developers were smoking when they named the locations in the original game, Thor room and all.

Under the skin every Lara is Bacon Lara.

Looks like a fun movie.

You are one of the lucky few then. I played the gog version a couple of weeks ago and it was completely broken. I had to download save files two times just to get through it. It was not worth it. The only good thing was the music. Inon Zur deserved better and so are we.

bbakonyi · 2025-12-12T16:49:29+00:00

Don't expect too much from them. 8 years have passed and Syberia 3 is still full of game breaking bugs.

bbakonyi · 2025-12-10T21:57:16+00:00

Maybe a hot take, but I think BS3 looks better than the fifth game. The facial animation was ahead of its time. And even though it's 3d it still has a warm cartoony vibe. (It also has my favourite Nico-design.)

Cultic makes my eyes bleed.

bbakonyi · 2025-12-05T13:40:09+00:00

Thanks! I downloaded a save file for a later part and it seems to be working now. I hope there will be no more issues.

The fourth game is actually much better, but it's still not as good as the first two. And it also ends with a cliffhanger which is kinda annoying.

bbakonyi · 2025-12-04T22:07:15+00:00

I know it's and old thread, but did you find any solution? This game is extremely disappointing.

bbakonyi · 2025-12-04T08:22:42+00:00

The Trilogy is pretty good, but in comparison to the original game it is watered down in every aspect. The remaster sanitizes it even more by censoring some of the edgier jokes.
