There just so many questions that need to be answered in the final chapter now.
How does Guybrush Come back?
How is Lechuck Defeated?
What happens to the voodoo lady?
What happened to Morgan?

Who killed Morgan?
What happened to Guybushes collection of Sextants?

Well, they were able to reveal De Singe's true plans and his ultimate fate, LeChuck's true allegiance, the full story of the sponge, finish the pox aspect of the story, introduce the voodoo lady revelation, as well as the whole Elaine and Morgan with the latter dying. I'm sure that won't have a problem tying everything else up in the last chapter.
Wow, a lot of people didn't enjoy the "laboratory scene". I couldn't stop smiling as it reminded me so much of the "lighthouse scene" in Grim Fandango. Oh, and by the way pretty damn good episode. The first Monkey Island game that felt truly dark since 2. That's some achievement.:)
Just that was LeChuck evil all along? It didn't look like such. He was even away from Guybrush, a key for finding the sponge, for a long time. Only that his facial expression gave me the chills when Guybrush sai to him "The sponge is still small". Somewhere at that point, I think LeChuck changed from good to pretending-to-be good. Maybe the Voodoo Lady told him something? Or hexed him to fulfill his evil undead zombie pirate destiny... although with a hint of oregano.
Speaking of w(h)ich, I don't think she's evil or anything. Maybe this all IS a part of a more major scheme (Pirate Godness?).
It seems anything really doesn't prove anything. Did LeChuck swim for three days because of a friendship or because of the Sponge? Did De Zinc (orwhatwasit :P) kill Morgan? Why did Morgan disappear? Because of the Voodoo Lady? Because of her body being a test subject for the wind machine? Because of the moths? Why wasn't I fast enough to realise that the Sixth Sense effect would have made a cool wallpaper and couldn't hit the PrtSc button fast enough?
Anyway, the third part and this have been even better than the two first ones in my opinion. Actually every adventure has been better than its predecessor! If this continues, well, Rise of the Pirate God should be huge indeed...
Classic stuff, easily as good as the original games. Mv only complaint would be the many journeys between the bar and lab in solving the pepper puzzle.

My bet is that GT's hand will come back healing his wounds like it did for De Singe
Also I sort of think that since the Voodoo lady has been revealed as a puppet master of sorts I wouldnt be all that surprised to find out that Morgan is working with her and faked her death to further manipulate GT into action. Some people thought she could be the Voodoo ladies daughter... maybe thats true.... Also De Singe denied having killed her I think he was telling the truth..... if she is indeed dead my bet would be on LeChuck being the killer... If GT could get out of prison LeChuck could have too.
wonderful episode guys but too easy !!! finished it in 4 hours without getting stuck once ... (and now to wait a whole month for the fifth ... :rolleyes: )
I tried to change the resolution and the game crashed, and now it crashes every time I try to open it. How can I fix this? already tried to install it again but wont help.
No way is morgan dead, the rowboat disappearing after her body vanishes I thought was a clear giveaway. Dont know why she would fake it, and why she wants to escape Flotsam but I guess we'll find out soon

too easy? I thought it had the toughest puzzles yet... I did finish it the fastest though.... weird.

That was the winning line? I thought it was a different one. Still, i like how they worked that line in.
finished in this moment. wow, that was wonderfull in story and puzzling. And I don't liked very much third for puzzling, but I think the fourth is the best for now. Too bad 70% of scenaries was took by first chapter, but I'll pass. Now I want fifth chapter, I MUsT now the truth behind all this.
I've been playing the game since it came out, though this is the first time I've posted here. I just have to congratulate Telltale. The storytelling in this part is absolutly superb. Just superb. Even though there is a voice in my head shouting that Monkey Island should not make me want to cry.
What I'm trying to say is that I really respect how they handled all the stuff in this chapter. I mean, it was still funny, but it managed to have real, heartwrenching drama as well, without one overshadowing the other.

The row boat is still there. It's just been sunk by "a Pox-infected pirate."

Kudos.
Now, if you'll excuse me... *sob*
I think that this 4th chapter is the real return to the old atmospheres of monkey1/2. It's dark, funny and dramathic. It's only me or the club 41 remembers the scumm bar? I think it had the same music also.
I have to agree with what's been posted here before. Episode 4 is by a wide margin my favourite one so far. Took me much longer to complete then the others aswell, i'd guess about 6hrs. What a great story and cliffhanger at the end. I'm really psyched for Episode 5 now.
Hey, hey! Could someone with skills and software record that "pretty good trick" from the game (with good quality) and turn it into an infinitely looping animation?

Anyone with Fraps could easily record it. It's the second half that would be too much work for me.
Once again, congratulations Telltale. Man, you guys and girls just keep on doing such amazing work. Episode 3, I felt, was going to be hard to top, but "The Trial and Execution of Guybrush Threepwood" was so wonderful. I love that you all aren't afraid to contribute so much to the Monkey universe and keep moving the story forward. You are storytellers after all, and you are crafting something special here.
Well, I was a little slower than usual completing this one, but it's definitely the best episode yet. Some of those scenes were really shocking and very emotional, perhaps not quite enough to get me teary eyed (as it's somewhat predictable what will happen :P) but still very well done.
None of the other Monkey Island games have really attempted anything on that level, and while it's good they stick to more light hearted material, I think this was appropriate enough to add some seriousness and emotion without losing sight of what makes it Monkey Island.

Actually, it seem like every new episode is better than the previous to me!
but oh man, the fourth one nailed everything you want from MI game and MORE
here is what i think of the episode but just to be safe, im gonna tag it with spoiler mark
+ cinematic direction.
+ it was funnier.
+ dramatic moments ... *sad face*.
+ twists.
+ puzzles that demanded creative thinking.
+ beautiful atmosphere made the town so speci
+ one of the best soundtracks so far are mixed in this episode with new ones. (well maybe I prefer ep3 more because of DeCava themes)
+ Lightning ... a.w.e.s.o.m.e! specially when you put Guybrush next to those glowing idol in the jungle.
+ Darker theme, Kinda like MI2 but I think this one is more darker
The only thing is, the final puzzle in the episode wasn't "very challenging" but still enjoyable ...
I am looking forward for episode 5 and hopefully we will have a strong final like MI2 the one in MI1 was simple, MI3 was annoying and MI4 was like "THAT'S IT??". I place my trust in you, TellTale and let's all hope for epic final conclusion to the best monkey island game so far
Much as I enjoyed the episodes and the many twists it took, I do have some complaints. Spoilered for prosperity
The introduction felt a bit rushed and forced, understandable but still irritating.
Morgan's "death" was pretty ham handed, not out odf any fault of direction, but because it's pretty easy to break the tone by clicking on something. When he comments of the door being locked he sounds like he got over it pretty quick. To be honest, not an easy solution comes to mind for this, but it's not my job to think of those solutions.
And now my major complaint for all the deaths in the game, where is the BLOOD! That might sound pinikity but dammit, how can I take the deaths seriously if there's not sign of a wound! It just looked like the models of the sword and body had clipped. I was fairly sure Morgan's death was going to be a joke until she "died". Same goes for Guybrush, though less so as I had come to expect no blood.
I liked this chapter very much but I liked the whole series so far. Some of the story got much more serious than I ever remember Monkey Island doing before. My one gripe was some of the puzzles were very specific so I end up going online looking for hints to them.
The order you had to get the guy up on the stand with the cat and then rub the monkey with the draw a beard thing in order to make the cat move was annoying. I tried doing that in so many different ways, it got frustrating.
I wasn't too shocked about the ending since I figured something like that was going to happen.
I know some people don't think Morgan is dead but it's be an interesting idea if Morgan and Guybrush have to help each other escape the underworld together.
It's hard to believe we're at chapter 5 already. It still feels like a lot more of the story has to develop. Well now they've got me really hoping there's a Season 2 or MI 5 or 6.
Comments
What? What did the monkey tell you?!
this is gonna be a LOOONG month.
A bit of a missed opportunity, there!
Ah well, we got Stan, what more do we need.
...oh sorry, I just finished the game and I had to let that out. I need it to be next month now, thanks.

Nah, they'll definitely bring him back in the final episode - he's too popular for them not to.
Besides, we're bound to end up at the Rock of Gelato again at some point, and Winslow is just the man to get us there.
Or maybe

I lost alot of my art that I was working on too.....
Bravo.
Wooooowwwwwww that was really EPIC. I cannot wait to see how this wraps up.
And Jared-Emerson Johnson does the voice of the Marquis? Awesome. XD
Man, that sucks so much. Computers are a bunch of unreliable bastards!
Dropbox is a great program to stop this happening in the future.
