Well, I suppose not, but I figured it wouldn't be kosher so close to the release.
(1) Was it wrong for me to feel that there's something really really Psychonauts about the ending?
(2) Man I love that ending. A lot.
(3) Is there a reason why MI, MI2, and DeathSpank all make you chase MacGuffins?.. The Root Beer, the ticket inside the Big Whoop, the bacon artifact... I'm very partial to this decision in MI1 in particular, as it made me wonder what the vending machine would be used for in the very beginning, and there was a climactic payoff at the end. I really dug the unresolved everything in DeathSpank, and the final area that I've arrived to excited me enough to become sad that the journey was over.
When it comes to "your tribe," I generally favor new IP over sequels. (In case of Monkey Island, there's that whole "secret," and your claims, and I would welcome a new one with open arms, before someone will take the above the wrong way.) I'll say that the ending lives up to the satirical nature of the title, and (if I'm getting the joke right) pokes fun at the enigmatic and notorious ending to MI2. For that reason alone I think that making a new game will diminish this impact. Slightly. (And I'd play the damn sequels to find out.)
But really, Mr. Gilbert. Could you at least tell us the secret of the thong?
