The Monkey Island part of that isn’t just the sense of humor, this game is half adventure game puzzles and half hack ‘n’ slash Diabloing." They've shown nothing of the Monkey Islanding part, and what they've shown of the Diabloing part looks utterly generic. Contrary to what some people seem to think here Serious Sam, to go back to another stereotype-fun-making-game someone mentioned, didn't work on the lampooning alone - it had good gameplay to boot. Making a terrible game and then saying "Look, it's a terrible game! Get it? We're so smart!" doesn't fly. Neither does "making Hack and Slash simpler and more accessible" - it's called Space Siege, it sucked. You can't make a dumbed down genre simpler. “What don’t you guys understand about “Monkey Island meets Diablo”?

Ron's new game! Let's see... Weeell, it looks like it's got potential and must be in a very early stage and we don't see any adventuring bits which must be awesome and I'm sure it'll grow up to be a masterpiece... Oh god, I can't do this anymore. My Monkey Island tinted goggles don't work! IT LOOKS LIKE SHIT! It looks like a Crash Bandicoot clone made by Disney for the PS1! Ooh! Ron’s new game! Let’s see…

You can say "I don´t like hack&slash games", but you can´t say anything about how well the game does it. But the reaction was expected. Anytime a developer says they have ambitions to do something different, the internet mob is there to bring the game down How anyone can judge the gameplay based on this trailer, is beyond me.

Intro & storyline seem quirky enough to carry it... tempting :) Looks like an interesting mix… kinda scared combat will turn into a “oh look, more skellingtons” mix, but can’t really tell from that video.

Stop being snobs and appreciate the game for what it is. Looks like Gilbert isn't trying to appeal to a specific crowd here either. Nice art, with what seems like gameplay mechanics that any average gamer could get into. lol @ everyone who says gameplay looks shaky. Stop being snobs and appreciate the game for what it is.
