Well, you know what they say, never pay more than 20 bucks for a computer game
But, to be honest, I think it's overpriced. It's not a new game, it's not a sealed game, and it's not a rare game (well, maybe Spanish version is rare, I don't know about that) so 40 euros is too much.
I think this is the last of the SE since after #2, #3 was the escape from MI which included vastly improved graphics. unless they do #4 (which played a bit like a console option)
on a side note, do anyone know where to acquire the guybrush stuffed voodoo doll we saw on facebook awhile? I tried to get access to it since people from his work were going to to E3 (marketing) but sadly I asked to late. phoo!
Bought MI2:SE today from Steam. Played a great game for the first hour. Next start-up... NO savegames! WTF?! Even after testing with different Steam settings, it's still not possible to save my progress.
I found that reinstalling my graphics driver a second time seemed to get it running again... go figure.
But yeah, finished it at last! hahaha. I love the voice acting, it just adds a whole new depth.
Did anyone else notice there were slight tweaks to the dialogue though? Like when Guybrush looks in the mirror. He says "I feel pretty" in the original version and "That's one nice beard" or something similar in the SE. I thought that was fairly random.
But yay! My husband finally got to see how MI2 ends and he was like "wtf?" hahaha. It was adorable.

Weird. Works for me. Right out of the box. You are actually saving your games, right? Either way you should still have autosaves...
didn't work very well for me, maybe i'm just not very quick. I also struggled trying to give the hankie to LeChuck but I think that was because I was really freaked out
Im pretty sure a steam update just came through, the intro still isnt there, but after having a quick look through the audio folder there is a few files that are marked as created today, so i guess they have patched some of the audio.
Oh man I forgot to check the bone song, good to hear it was updated, I wonder if we'll ever get the intro added.
Yeah, it's great. And just after I fixed the bone song in a video:rolleyes:
If they do add the intro, I will have no complaints for the special edition at all. Maybe we'll get another update soon.

Yea, I hope we get the into, were there any other audio issues from before the update, I remember a few areas that had very bad audio in classic mode (like very crackly) I cant remember where it was but I think it might have been the beach of Scabb, well if it was the beach it has been fixed.
Dinky Island Jungle's music is fixed, the Bone Song is re-synched (the subtitles are really brief, so the bad syncing must've been caused by subtitle speed problems), and the original credits have been restored! You have to switch to classic mode before they start to see them though, as you can't change back and forth during, like you can with the first special edition. But yeah, now I can once again spend hours staring at a list of suggestions for what I should be doing with my time.
They still haven't sorted out the really bad sync problems when you first encounter the lady in the LeChuck costume though.
What do you mean, I remember a few poor quality areas, do you know which areas are bad?
The MIDI in the entire game is bad. The instruments are wrong and low quality. Even Microsoft GSynth (the 'default' MIDI in most installs of Windows) is better.

Totally stunned me, too. Imagine how emotional that scene would have been with TOMI - Guybrush facial expressions. Whoa.

Thank you
Any one play

I think it looks interesting

YES! Seriously, the amount of times I tried that puzzle grrr
worked for me
I had a go of the demo. It's pretty but the voice acting got on my nerves a little bit.

Of course I was.
Thanks for letting me know that there's a demo.
Just checked it out, luckily I had a save in the Dinky Island Jungle, the jungle isnt silent anymore.

I loaded the glitch pit save and its no longer glitched
Yea just checked, hooray for the bone song fix.

EDIT: That's much better! I had a save point at the Bone Song.
If you switch over to classic mode immediately on starting a new game, it'll play the intro. Guybrush's line is even voiced!
Unfortunately it doesn't work outside of classic mode... yet. After all, if they patched this, maybe they'll release another patch later!:D
Wow your right, so they have added the classic intro, just hope they add the intro in the SE version.
and thats another thing that helps with the timing issues between SE and Original for the next MI race.
If you switch to HD during the intro, it will be skipped and you'll be sent to Scabb Island. Also the MIDI still sucks.
