Kinda the same situation you're in, right?
"HOW F&*%ING DARE THEY?!""--You words in regard to TT's KQ, remember?
Just as no one is forcing you to buy TT's game, no one is forcing me to play their game. But that doesn't mean I can't dislike it. See, I go on evidence--playing it and watching the playthroughs to see how it sucks. You hate a game you haven't even seen yet.

That is exactly what I thought too... based on the in-game model.... not so much a art on their site.

They said years ago they based his appearance on a mix of Harrison Ford and KQ5 Graham. So it's not coincidental or anything.

lol

The person who actually wrote those lines is the biggest lover of the simplistic style of King's Quest ever. If I'm not fully mistaken, that was all done by Akril, but man... that was actually very funny.

The art on the site was done by this amazing guy from Brazil. I actually think that his version of Graham looks a lot like Daniel Craig.

I'm not the biggest fan of her style. Really the only fanwork I was ever into was the KQ Companion and KQ2VGA.
However, no matter who wrote them, the Black Widow lines still suck and aren't KQish. That's overly sexual.
There's a lot of sexual innuendo in your game that I doubt was all written by the same person.

Yeah a little... I can see it.

MusicallyInspired · 03/10/2011, 02:10 pm

Yeah. The website art looks like Daniel Craig. The older concept art and the ingame model look like Harrison Ford.

OT: I don't like Daniel Craig as Bond. He plays Bond like a charm-less thug.
For me it's a toss up between Connery and Moore.

The Harrison ford one was done very much on purpose. Rich (Art Director) wanted it that way. I think his reasoning behind it was... "well, Graham is a father figure. Who wouldn't want Harrison Ford to be your father?" lol

The Daniel Craig one I think was more of a coincidence. At least I know we didn't ask for it.

Moore is my least favorite.

Ah. See I like Moore because he's like...a gentlemen killer. If that makes sense.
Connery, however, is perfect. He plays the perfect balance between ruthless, charming, tough, witty. He's the perfect balance between spy, hired skiller and detective, which IMO Bond is a mix of all those.

Moore plays like a witty, funny English detective...But he's also a ruthless, yet gentlemanly killer.

Nowhere near the same. Telltale isn't a bunch of fans, their version isn't going to be released free of charge(creating a developer/customer relationship, rather than a fan/fan relationship), their installment will be "official" and can very well have an effect on future canonical productions, and the people at Telltale are publicly stating that they not only hate King's Quest, but hate deep and complex puzzles and do not want to put elements of adventure games in their titles.

As fans releasing something for free, the TSL guys could throw themselves in as characters that save the day at the end after the entire main cast of King's Quest is killed off by Satan himself and I wouldn't care because it's fanart that I got for free.

And again, you're allowed to dislike it, but you're not just disliking it. You're chasing down any posts you can by the guys who worked on this title and you're actively goading them and actively making sarcastic jabs at their games in discussions where such things are entirely unrelated to the topic at hand.

I like Moore because of the eyebrow thing.

If the TSL people had their way, they'd be in the same position TT is now, in that they'd have a commercial license and would be charging money for the game.
Goading them? Don't care. I can see their agenda for what it is.
Like I said to MI, if you already decided you hate this game and TT...DON'T PLAY IT!

King's Quest didn't have complex puzzles. It had Sierra logic puzzles. I love King's Quest but I really hated the Sierra logic. Really? Have to save the rat from the cat with no second chances? Give me a break Roberta Williams.

I would love to hear where they stated they hate King's Quest though. If you could show me a link to where they said that, I definitely reconsider playing their adaptation to the game. Though somehow I doubt they specifically said they hated King's Quest.

Our only agenda is to continue to ruin your life and give you hope that someday, someone somewhere will take you seriously.

Or maybe you'll hate Telltale's game even more than ours and will move on to being paranoid about them buying the rights to your usage of air.

Well, you already ruined the KQ series in your rewriting of it.

I doubt I could ever hate ANY game as much as your game, given that I even liked Mask of Eternity.

Yes yes we're all well aware of how your conspiracy theory states that TSL is so bad that it somehow made all of the other King's Quest games worse too. But I'm fuzzy on how that connects to Josh Mandel and Telltale? Are you concerned that Telltale's game will automatically be subpar because of how much you dislike TSL? Because it seems like that's what you're saying...

I never said anything about TT's game being subpar...?
You said I might hate TT's game as much as yours. I responded I couldn't.
Your game's rewriting of the originals put a bad taste in my mouth with regard t the originals due to its suckiness. No conspiracy there.
