shinzuku Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 I know. I know. Why don't the UK people just buy the game from ebay? It's like $6-20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Udvarnoky Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 I'm more curious as to why they talk about Day of the Tentacle on the box. I mean, no one has ever heard of Day of the Tentacle. Is it there for aesthetic appeal only? Many more people know and will recognize "Day of the Tentacle" and "Grim Fandango" than the name Tim Schafer. They would have been better off putting some game titles on the US box rather than only his name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like LucasArts. By associating it with Day of the Tentacle and Grim Fandango (Games that DoubleFine did not produce) is not going to make a name for them. Once again, this is coming out all wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same goes for Grim Fandango. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By associating it with Day of the Tentacle and Grim Fandango (Games that DoubleFine did not produce) is not going to make a name for them. Yeah well it didn't make any sales for them, either. I'm all for having Tim's name on the box, but also letting people know what games he made previously could only have helped. Also I don't see how saying that he made DOTT and Grim is preventing Double Fine from making a name for themselves. That makes no sense at all to me. Even if not many people know what DOTT or Grim is, the people who do loved them, and many of those might be interested in buying another game made by the same guy. Just because you liked a game doesn't mean you know the guy who made it. Simply saying that it was a game made by Tim Schafer only meant something to the people who knew it already. And you guys who never played Day of the Tentacle before, you need to. It's great. Oh yeah and about the UK release. I guess all the money they spent towards advertising the game as a November release was a big waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
