As I was saying, completely unpredicted…

Does it unlock in Europe at midnight?
Steam says ~19 hours for west coast USA now. I will be Monday morning 8AM.

They said 9am PST worldwide for both Switch and PC.
So it depends where you live.
If you’re in Western Europe, it should be around 6pm? Something like. Maybe 5.

Thank you both. It’s PST, Ron’s timezone (which happens to me mine too) morning then (9AM) . My plans of staying all night and my kid being excited for a chance to see before he go to sleep did not work out but we will check out together at the same time to play a bit, which will make him even happier.

Do you think Ron will respond to bug reports talking like a pirate, tomorrow?

He recently said he’s planning to leave Twitter for 48 h starting tomorrow.
I think he’s been very stressed about release day, which is understandable.

This is one of the most longest waited sequels ever in the video game history if not the most! 30+ years!!! He has every right to be anxious . So are we!

Not only has he probably been stressed for a while, understandably, but I also think that not being on social media for a few days is a smart move to avoid getting too much behind the comments and reactions that will arise. Social media is necessary to promote the game, but that environment also can create a lot of unhealthy pressure.

I have my hopes and dreams that run contrary to most/all of yours. I’ll see you on the other side, gentlemen.

I’m leaving also for real this time. I couldn’t resist before that. I downloaded an App that blocks everything – I guess I’m good.
You all have a good trip back to Monkey Island! :wink:

I got up early only to read a screen on my switch: „you can’t play that yet“.

It’s the 19th, 5am! Let me play arrrrlready!!!

RIP to the people waiting 30 years for this, but I’ve only been waiting slightly over ten years! and…

and yeah the wait is absolutely destroying me lmao. genuinely RIP to everyone who played MI2 when it was new I can’t even imagine :skull:

I’ve just created a no-spoiler thread, where I will write my spoiler-free impressions as I play. :slight_smile: NON-SPOILER thread for Return To Monkey Island

But if even mentions of minor plot events are spoilers to you, you might not want to come there :).

See you after GOG release or after I give up and purchase the Steam version!

Thank you for creating the new thread, but I’m afraid that I would call “spoiler” anything related to the contents of the game. :stuck_out_tongue:

In other words, it would be OK for me to discuss topics like how the game was received, if the developers said something interesting, if new ports or upgrades were announced, and other aspects not related to what happens when playing.

We did it! We made it to the day!

Maybe got just enough time for one last play through of MI2?
