Fealiks Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Yarrrrgh, it doesn't work properly on my PC (horrible graphics, about 2 FPS). I half expected that, though. Enjoy your working game, Thunderpeel, you ungrateful ladyboy Edit: Oh, yeah, and it didn't ask for my Serial Number... weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPeel2001 Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share Posted July 8, 2009 I had no idea that a game that wasn't released yet should appear in my downloads list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fealiks Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 That's reasonable, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scapetti Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Oh, yeah, and it didn't ask for my Serial Number... weird. Just found out on the reopened TellTale forums that it is also a demo version so maybe you just haven't unlocked it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scapetti Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Actually... it's probably because it logs in to your account... I forgot it does that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishmile Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 So..... Can I NOT just buy the first episode alone? I have to be able to eat this week so I cant just drop $35 on it just yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp-30 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I'm not sure, but if you get the demo, you may be able to unlock the full episode, individually at the end of the demo portion (or sooner). Maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueZTone Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 wow, i guess it was a good thing i had low expectations, but TMI looks awesome and the music is great (if not brilliant! i love that 'remixed' theme!) the voice acting is also great! on the highest setting (monitor native setting of 1680x1050) the game looks sharp and good.. but my pc can't handle it, when i put it on 1024x768 it gets blurry but in a good way.. which makes it look awesome! i sure was skeptic and critical at first before release.. but now ive played it (and ive only played 3 minutes because i need to go to work now) i admit my wrong.. TMI looks awesome great job on a new monkey island TTG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrik Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Elaine can't act... argh Still, I'm LOVING it so far! Really, that bad? It's an actual screen actress doing her so she ought to be pretty decent, and I thought she did a good job in the intro trailer — does it get worse? Guess I'll find out tonight!

I don't find the actress bad in any way, it's just that she seems very out of character compared to previous games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parabolee Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I think Elaine is funny. Nothing wrong with her acting to me. Much prefer her to the Escape Elaine. Also I had no problem with the release. It came out the day they promised and was delayed a few hours due to high demand. That's all good in my books! But I understand the frustrations of some. But waiting half a day longer is not a big deal. But since I couldn't play until 9pm anyway and it was up at 7.30pm EST, I had nothing to complain about. I was getting a little worried when I kept checking throughout the day and it still wasn't up, I was just about resigned to waiting another day for it! Fantastic! Love it so much!

LordTrilobite Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 It pretty much only came out the right day for America, it was a day late in the rest of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabez Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I don't find the actress bad in any way, it's just that she seems very out of character compared to previous games. I think she's actually closer to her character from the first two games. Ron Gilbert said that they got Elaine wrong in CMI because she would never marry Guybrush. Also, apparently, when Ron came in to brain-storm the series, he had some input into the way they handled Elaine's character. My favourite Elaine line in TMI: Show spoiler (hidden content - requires Javascript to show) Get a move on and stab LeChuck so we can all go home!! And I think she's a great actress.

Ron Gilbert said that they got Elaine wrong in CMI because she would never marry Guybrush. Interesting stuff, where did you get that from? It's not her CHARACTER that I dislike, though, it's her line readings... although I suppose I should say that I think the voice director is often more to blame than the performers. So I may have been wrong complaining about her acting abilities. And I think she's a great actress. I have to wonder: Did Jake Lloyd's performance in The Phantom Menace irritate you ?

LordTrilobite Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Just finished the demo, seems really cool. But I think I'll buy it when all the episodes are out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabez Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Interesting stuff, where did you get that from? The closest I can get is this: <Ron-G> It is true that CMI was not what I was planning, but I do think they did a pretty good job of captuing what MI was about. There were a couple of things they didn't get right that bugged me <Ron-G> One was the relationship between GB and Elain. <Ron-G> Elain never really liked GB and thought of him as more of a little brother. <Ron-G> That was the thing that bugged me the most about CMI. from http://www.scummbar.com/resources/articles/index.php?newssniffer=readarticle&article=1004 I have to wonder: Did Jake Lloyd's performance in The Phantom Menace irritate you ?The guy who played Anakin? He was okay. Maybe a few too many "yipees"... what's the link? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrik Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 You probably also saw it referred to in Eurogamer's interview with Grossman, Gabez: ... he came down and spent the better part of a week with us, just tossing around ideas. We bounced the broad-story stuff off of him; he had some comments about how we were handling Elaine in our first draft that got us to make some changes ...

joshandstacy Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 They should have purposely delayed the release by 24 hours and made a joke about it in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven_Q45 Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 So, Thunderpeel did you take your doze of medicine? No, no little joke. Now, we´ve ca. 1 month quite. And we can looking forward to episode 2! I could not stop playing yesterday. acting Elaine: Hey this game is family friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
