Might grab the Special Edition. I guess I could check out Tales, but I just hate Telltale so goddamned much.

Do you work for them or something? Tell Dan to stop making shitty new versions of classic games. And if Telltale ever gets the Grim Fandango rights, there will be murders.

LOL.

Yes, that would indeed suck.

Ghostbear · 09-17-2009, 05:57 PM

No, I dont work for them, it just seems pretty tacky to come into a thread and crap all over the entire group. Lets not turn this into a thing though, you don't care for their games, thats certainly valid. It just seems you could have handled that a bit more tactfully.

Purple Santa · 09-17-2009, 07:57 PM

Ooooooo....free...freeeeee...The best kind of bargain.

Fuck tact. If I was talking to Dan Connors, I might be polite. But this is a gaming thread about a game made by a company that has made nothing but shit. Tact is unnecessary.

I rather enjoyed the first Sam & Max episode. *shrug*

Philonious · 09-17-2009, 08:55 PM

I've enjoyed Tales of Monkey Island, and for the price of FREE the first episode is well worth checking out. I LOVED the original as a kid, but I thought the remake was mising something. But the Telltale sequels offer something new (Though they do feel budget and are needlessly frustrating at times).

LordDon · 09-18-2009, 11:12 AM

Yeah, fuck free stuff, I hate free stuff!

National Kato · 09-18-2009, 11:16 AM

Look out, guys, it's internet anger: the most ineffectual of all angers.

I was a huge apologist for Telltale in the beginning, and was really behind them. Yes, I talk shit once I am delivered shit.

The free game is available right now , I am downloading it as I type this.

Wolvie · 09-19-2009, 01:45 AM

Just downloaded this... I can't play it though. I wish to play through the original first... yeah I never played the original. Something I will quickly correct.

You and me both.

And their bodies were never found

You can also get this for free from Amazon, which might be a better idea as they will add it to your account, and you can download it again whenever you like.

Here is the link for that.

You'll also get a discount on the next chapters should you decide to continue. The flipside is that you have to use Amazon's terribad application.
