im not a monkey island fan so i guess these tales just werent made for me but still, all the obvious work and effort that went into making this could have been spent in better places in my opinion, especially considering the horrible content drought they released in. we finally got an update but its like a 1-2 hour excursion from the main game you do once and never again each month. in my opinion, timing the release of these tales with the release of an actual update to the main game would have increased my enjoyment a lot more as the way they released led me to feeling like i HAD to do them rather than actually wanting to.
I get where your coming from, but in my experience 2 things: I wasn’t invested in monkey island at all either, but I still really enjoyed it 2, it takes closer to 5-6 hours all together, (especially if your not using a guide) and I think it has a lot of replay ability. I do agree that the time spent making this could have been put to something original though.
I ran across a father and son playing the 3rd tall tale together on an open crew. Kid had to be 6 or 7. Definitely gave me a new outlook on the tall tales. They were having a great time and I helped them out for a bit. A nice disconnect from the regular gameplay and a way to bring young players into the game slowly.
Was fun to play; the only part that was slow as sludge was the lava battle (if you're playing solo) where, by the half of it, you kind of want to drop-kick Kate into the lava due to her being a useless backseat driver; If she had been ON steering so I could use the galleon cannons or on the side cannons ala Jack it would have made a difference. As it was, I had to setup an ambush to Le Chuck so I could pelt him with cannons. Kate serves zero purpose at this point of the tale (other than to annoy)
I really wanted to love these three tall tale but my crew and I where bored and hated it. For us, the highlight was Muray and the beast. That was it. We love the pirate life tall tale. Funny enough, one of my crew is a huge Monkey Island fan, and after was very disappointed in the tales. Right afterward, they decide to replay all the monkey island game and had a blast. Overall this came out at the worst time for Sea of thieves.
I've played the monkey island games since i was a kid,on gloppy discs because cd roms weren't around then and it is my favourite game series of all time. This tall tale was absolutely spot on to the point where it was more a mod to play the original games from a 1st person perspective. The music, the layout of the islands and towns, it was perfect even some of the puzzles being ridiculous and ridiculously hard which is what makes these games so great. You did a great review on it mate and made a good point that it might not be everyone's cup of tea or not even having played them at all, but for a fan..pure brilliance from Rare making this
I took a break from sea of thieves between 1 and 2. But when I came back and got around to playing these it gave me a nostalgia hit for click and point escape games I used to play when I was in elementary school.
I didn’t even play them- I just kept queuing hourglass until I hit level 1000. Once that happened cheaters took over hour glass so I stopped playing all together. Season 10 doesn’t have enough content for me to come back either. I have more friends than I can stick on a galley but I can’t get enough people on to fill a sloop because everyone asks what’s new and I tell them it’s a tall tale. They then just said ok and moved on to other games.
The Monkey Island Tales suffer from "The right heart, the wrong time." The Tall Tales didn't progress anything in the main story AND from the Monkey Island story (which is a complaint I've heard from Monkey Island fans). Hell, it ADDED a new story on top of the dozens of SOT stories that are already in progress. They easily could've made these tales a spinoff game and nothing would change. When you get to play them though? They are fun... *When you get to play them.* My PC barely got me through Tale 1, and then the other 2 I have not completed to this day. It's frustrating because I made it to the end of Tale 2 but crashed. When I used a checkpoint, the game broke and I couldn't progress (this happened with every other checkpoint in the Tales). I've seen that damn cutscene in the Tunnels of the Damned for Tale 2 over 7 times and I hate it (especially since I ALWAYS crash afterwards and rejoin, so technically I've done the tale more than 14 times). Insult Sword fighting could've been explained better since the SOT-action sword fighting and the point-and-click sword fighting mixture came off clunky and frustrating... The walking NPCs were cool, but Stan was a major thorn in my side because he constantly bugged out (by not walking around) and ended my runs on several occasions (since he has to walk around in order to progress the tale). Ziplines are fun but I enjoyed the flat lines the most (it was always annoying to climb back up the mountain, especially if you didn't go to Stan first). Beyond all of that, Rare clearly did care [about writing a weird Monkey Island fanfic] and these tall tales were fun when you did get to play them. These were not what we needed though. Season 9 was quite possibly the worst season to spend months of time and resources on this. Especially since - like many story-driven puzzle games - these tales are not the most enjoyable replay experience. If there is one thing that truly makes me happy about these Tall Tales though? **It wasn't a god damn Peter Pan crossover**
Personally, the Monkey Island Tall Tales were refreshing. To explore news areas and mechanics was something I think was needed in Sea of Thieves for older players. I do hope that some of the mechanics does end up in Sea of Thieves just like how Pirate's Life did. Though I have to admit, I wasn't fond of the Sword insults as I thought I would and was annoyed when fighting LeChuck's ship that if it was done by a solo that they had to be the one to do all the driving. Also it would have been nice if a few more SoT character did make an appearance in the tall tales. Like the Dark Brethren as they can travel between worlds or the Reapers sending a stowaway or a reaper bird to spy on the story. I think it would have made the connections better since they would then learn the power the Burning Blade can do if they decided to go after the sword. Another thing would be, what would the story be like then if Pendragon won instead of Flameheart, how would that outcome had affected the story?
Hard no. I took a 4 month break from the game cause there wasn't anything new besides the TT's. We went on a journey for an entire year leading up to the resurrection of Flameheart to then switch gears into MI. Poor timing, lengthy TT's, and fight enemies with retorts and root beer... 0/10
Great vid, i want to add that i also dont like how the push new stories first in the list. I get that they need to promote them, but when new players start the game they don´t realize that these stories aren´t beginning and it only gets confusing.
great video! I did play the very first Monkey Island game a little bit as a kid, but just at a friends house. So I do have some connection to it, but in the end, I think it was wasted time and resources for Rare, even though me and my 40+ yo friends very much enjoyed it thoroughly. A young guy in my main SoT discord hit the nail on the head saying something along the lines of: "Why make this cute tall tale for kids". Completely unaware that the Tall Tales were more geared towards old farts like me for nostalgia. A majority of SoT players never even heard of Legend of Monkey Island before...
I haven’t played the OG Monkey Island games but I really enjoyed these tall tales. The insult sword fighting was a tad tedious and annoying but the fight with LeChuck on the lava river was epic.
I still have not completed even the first tall tail due to bugs... 3 attempts, all 3 i got bugged and had to restart. since then in season 10 with it being the lacklustre update that it is, i quit because now i cant even PvP because of the cannon bug and guns feeling so bad with quick swap removal
u ever going to upload that vid about talking to rare you said about? or have you got bored of sot like the rest of us and lost hope for Rare and their ass decision making
A lot of us had that issue originally and Rare tweeted about it, but me and my mates got all the achievements now and 100% completion. Have you checked recently that you definitely dont have it? I got it maybe 2 weeks after the final tall tale
You should have the commendation and shanty, but with regards to the achievement, it's a known issue across the game that a variety of achievements are not currently unlocking. It'll be patched soon.
A great set of tall tales, for people who had the nostalgia for the games, that was released at completely the wrong time. I’ve only played the first and didn’t like it. Disney Mickey Mouse interrupted the main story yet again. The narrative surrounding these was way worse than a pirate’s life and since I have no love for Monkey Island, so the story has to keep me engage; however, the even more campy than usual storytelling was certainly not it.
The first tale was decent like a (7/10) The second was really good and fun but a bit to long (9/10) But the third is weird cause it was great at the beginning but the catacombschase and the bossfight was just trash in my opinion so a (6/10) for me.
In short, sadly no, it wasn't. It was good, but not what SoT needs at this time, especially considering how obscure monkey island is to the vast majority of players compared to Pirates of the Caribbeans.
Pirates life was ok....Monkey Island was boring. Little fighting in episode three, just a load of needless running around and the naval battle with LeChuck was infuriating given the lack of space and huge ship. It took way too much time to get all the idols and we had to rely on a walkthrough to finish it. That's the last cross over I engage with on the Sea of Thieves. When will we get more about Flameheart?
Environments were great and the jokes were funny. However I found myself just wanting to be done with it rather than enjoy it fully. Big world and not a lot of action (though I guess that’s not really MI gameplay) It was fun but things like the coin finding made me go crazy
I personally loved the Legend of Monkey island, there were only some small things I found really annoying and made me feel frustrated. Chapter 1.. Had not a lot of problems, Sure the bits of eight was a bit annoying to try and find, but not really that ruined the chapter for me. It was just really fun to do something different from the normal tall tales from sea of thieves. Chapter 2... it started out Good and fun, until I got to the insult Sword fight.. That was horrible, I absolutely hated it, When I was done with it.. I was just done with all of it and wanted the tall tale to be over. Everything else was great.. but the insult sword play was just not my cup of tea at all. Chapter 3.. This one were also amazing the puzzles were fun, felt like Chapter 1 again, where you can do the puzzles what way you want, only problems I ran into were an bug with shooting rocks across the island as for some reason it stopped letting me fire rocks from the cliff. I also missed one of the journals in the cave part, so had to redo everything to get it again.. And the insult sword fight in the end were still boring and not really fun for me, so couldn't really enjoy that part. And Also.. The Pirate lord once again is useless and pointless as he didn't do anything to stop luchuck. OVERALL.. I really liked the Tall tale, much better then Pirate life in my opinion as An Pirate life just felt like all the other tall tales and I never were able to really enjoy them Score for Monkey island.... 9/10. would of gotten an 10/10 if it wasn't for the Insult Sword fights. But yea. Still loved it.
@@GhostAdmiral oh yea.. especially in part 2.. when you had to find the insults first.. that was an nightmare.. that insult Sword fight section made the normal tall tales look more fun. XD
I think Rare siding with Disney killed sot. They've just been sorta stuck not trying to incorporate an already fleshed out world into their and in my opinion its totally ruined the previously fantatsic lore of sea of thieves. After pirates life its no longer Sea of Theives lore its POTC lore... It was such a stupid idea.. I've not played since because it just doesn't have the magic for me anymore :/
I’m not a Monkey Island fan, so all of the wordplay sword duels were extremely drawn out and boring for me. And while the tales were fun, I don’t think it was worth the development time and resources, and I really hope we do not get another collab anytime soon. I would rather see the actual Sea of Thieves story progress. Tales 1 and 3 were great for puzzle solving, but Tale 2 again, really sucked because of the swordplay.
Gamers play a Tall Tale once, a few maybe play it twice or thrice, then never touch them again. Rare spend months and months of dev time adding content which most players only engage with for an hour, meanwhile neglect main world space which at this point is full of long term and well known bugs. It's a foolish mindset, re-enforced by all content creators praising a story line most pirates I talk to in open crew don't care about or know, and it is degrading the main game experience. The Tall Tale was great and fun experience but if Rare can not upkeep the open world AND add story content (they haven't yet) then Rare need to either need to get Microsoft to expand their studio funds or cut out the storylines.
As I said in the video, this year wasn't how Rare expected it to play out, we were mean't to get The Legend Of Monkey Island with Season 10, but it got delayed. Tall Tales are worked on for over a year in advance, so it's hard to predict what the state of the game is going to be like in another years time. Additionally, they have successfully added story whilst caring about the main world. This year has been the only year that's been lacking in that regard, every year prior they've been successful at doing this. 2024 will be very telling, but I'm confident we won't be disappointed. It's time to get back to what we know and love.
@@GhostAdmiral - "they have successfully added story whilst caring about the main world". Let me stop you there. No. I understand you enjoy Tall Tales, so the trade off of less dev time to fix overworld bugs is worth it. We can agree to disagree there, HOWEVER do not watch Rare piss on our heads and tell me it's raining. How often does progressively worsening desync and crashing need to become, before it's a problem worth fixing? How long will we endure; -Pirates spawning in dead at forts -Bosses stuck inside the map -Pirates immune to fire -Pirates unable to interact with ship or loot -Pirates unable to use their item wheel or weapons -Pirates teleporting to the bottom of the ocean -Pirates sucking unlimited resources into their pockets _Pirates shooting out of cannons instead dropping next to boat -Hour Glass dropping us back at an outpost but map saying we are in a battle -All game audio cutting out lasting until a restart -Visual bugs of being on fire or curses on ship. -Loud repeating audio bugs on ship -Fort music blaring in our ears forever -And now, not just crashing but freezing forcing player to quit the app. There are more bugs, this list is off the top of my head most frequent. And that is my biggest issue, these bugs are ever increasing in frequency! You are an influencer in the Sea of Thieves community. We all should be together with Rare in wanting to make this game better. Instead Rare is happy to ignore years old bugs and creators would rather run cover for a business than engage with what the average player is talking about in open crew. The bugs/glitches are getting worse, it is driving pirates away, development time used on Tall Tales could be spent on fixing long standing bugs and adding new sandbox content to adventure mode.

I Wish The Dutchman Was There LOL It Would've Been HILARIOUS To See Her Ported At Stan's Used Vessels 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Will It be a video about the interview with developers?
Fun Fact about Kate's theme! It's actually the underwater theme when Guybrush went to the sunken Mad Monkey shipwhrech, but modified a lil bit!

@@BinkleCoolGuy maybe “a lot” was an exaggeration, but it’s fun to play a couple of times to get all the rewards

YES imo the lava fight was so tedious it looked cool but basically soloing an Galleon wasn't worth it
I thought it was good as I’m a monkey island fan and so happy to have it back again after all these years

Sad to not hear your opinion on season 11 hope to see you make a comeback soon!
Hey Ghost! I'd love to hear your take on season 11! I think it will change SoT for the better. Wbu?
imagen what we could have got if this development time was spent on new repayable content though
“Next year bro I promise”
Monkey Island is the BEST thing to happen to pirating EVER!
I will get nekkid and fight ANYONE saying otherwise!

The Tall Tale was great and fun experience but if Rare can not upkeep the open world AND add story content (they haven't yet) then Rare need to either need to get Microsoft to expand their studio funds or cut out the storylines.
As I said in the video, this year wasn't how Rare expected it to play out, we were mean't to get The Legend Of Monkey Island with Season 10, but it got delayed. Tall Tales are worked on for over a year in advance, so it's hard to predict what the state of the game is going to be like in another years time. Additionally, they have successfully added story whilst caring about the main world. This year has been the only year that's been lacking in that regard, every year prior they've been successful at doing this.
2024 will be very telling, but I'm confident we won't be disappointed. It's time to get back to what we know and love.
@@GhostAdmiral - "they have successfully added story whilst caring about the main world". Let me stop you there. No.
I understand you enjoy Tall Tales, so the trade off of less dev time to fix overworld bugs is worth it. We can agree to disagree there, HOWEVER do not watch Rare piss on our heads and tell me it's raining.
How often does progressively worsening desync and crashing need to become, before it's a problem worth fixing?
How long will we endure;
-Pirates spawning in dead at forts
-Bosses stuck inside the map
-Pirates immune to fire
-Pirates unable to interact with ship or loot
-Pirates unable to use their item wheel or weapons
-Pirates teleporting to the bottom of the ocean
-Pirates sucking unlimited resources into their pockets
_Pirates shooting out of cannons instead dropping next to boat
-Hour Glass dropping us back at an outpost but map saying we are in a battle
-All game audio cutting out lasting until a restart
-Visual bugs of being on fire or curses on ship.
-Loud repeating audio bugs on ship
-Fort music blaring in our ears forever
-And now, not just crashing but freezing forcing player to quit the app.
There are more bugs, this list is off the top of my head most frequent. And that is my biggest issue, these bugs are ever increasing in frequency!
You are an influencer in the Sea of Thieves community. We all should be together with Rare in wanting to make this game better. Instead Rare is happy to ignore years old bugs and creators would rather run cover for a business than engage with what the average player is talking about in open crew.
The bugs/glitches are getting worse, it is driving pirates away, development time used on Tall Tales could be spent on fixing long standing bugs and adding new sandbox content to adventure mode.
I loved this tales personally the 2nd was abit annoying with all the walking around and the insult sword fighting was tedious
They were fun but that’s not how u bring a game up from a low point. It’s wasn’t worth the time
No, and screw insult sword fighting
I hate the third tall tale
