Your chance to make a difference (ToMI)

edited February 2011 in General Chat
Hey all,
I'm posting this under 'general' to try and bring peoples attention to something they may have missed:

There's an effort (started by SilverWolfPet) to amass a collection of short messages to LucasArts, regarding them allowing TellTale to create a second series of Monkey Island.

All though the petition may not won't work, if you don't contribute now then you will never hold the right to complain if a new game in the series does fail to materialise in the future. Besides, it will only take a couple of minutes to type a message out.

So what are you waiting for:

The closing date for entries is 1st March, at which point SilverWolfPet will forward all of our messages on to LucasArts.

    That's a good idea...

    ... and if successful, I propose the following petition to TellTale:

    Dearest TellTale,
    please make the new Monkey Island game a ToMI/Sam&Max quality level game, not a BTTF one.

    Sincerely yours.

    Of course they would though. TTG only made BTTF (and no doubt JP) easy because they're chasing the casual crowd. Although they completely underestimated the casual market (believe it or not TellTale, the casual market does have a higher intelligence than that of a 3 year old), they are wise enough to know what market the Monkey Island games attract.

    Back to the Future is a higher quality video game though.

    You keep telling yourself that. The rest of us will be over here scorning you for it.

    Mmmmh, the way I see it, that's just a part of the issue: I found BTTF ep 1 easy but entertaining, while I found BTTF ep 2 puzzles not only easy but, I don't know, "shallow", not imaginative, very unsatisfying... The two things are of course related, but I don't think they are just cause and effect.
    I confess I had the feeling that ep 2 simply received less work on, possibly because of the other game/s being worked on.

    In fact, this has heavily impacted my former unbounded trust and general excitement for TTG :(

    Dude, did you just quote yourself?! There is an edit button you know :p

    Anyway, I would agree that Telltale has become the fat kid, biting off more than they can handle. I know some would say that with them hiring more staff that this isn't the case but I would simply point them in the direction of the sheer volume of bugs and glitches in their more recent games.

    I hope that TellTale listens to the people who are telling them this because otherwise it'll be like a disease, working its way to the core and then in 4 or 5 years time; no more TellTale. People will only put up with what appears to be sloppy QA for so long TellTale, heed my words.

    I know. Stylistic poetic choice: simply editing the previous post wouldn't have conveyed the deepness of my troubled soul, the fading TTG love, not stressing enough the quality of the emotional epiphany after, and not contextual to, the expression of the rational analysis of the matter at hand.

    Also: how appropriate, you quote like a cow :p
