Funny how they made it more along the lines of my color scheme than the original with its brighter background:

If you think about it the original MI2LCR game looked nothing like the cover of the box, at least this MI2LCR SE looks like the game your playing or going to play this Summer.

Hah! I lold.

Haha, someone should make that into a YTMND with a Vanilla Ice song.

MonkeyMania · 03/11/2010, 11:54 pm

This is what happened.

Page 2 has more pathetic whinging than the rest of the week's posts combined =)

Holy crap, people =)

I hope nobody's taking Pariah King's sarcasm seriously.

Just to put in my two pence/cents, I don't mind the cover. Yes, it could be better, but it's not awful, it's not even bad. It's different, and if your going to alter the amazing piece of artwork that the cover of LeChuck's Revenge is to such a degree, then there will of course be minor problems with it and small differences that people are bound to complain about. It's unavoidable. Yes, the cover has problems, but they're not worth redoing the cover all over again for. If they do redo it, then that's fine and hats off to them, but it's not a priority and it isn't essential that they do so. I say we just deal with it.

No, PK's stuff is funny. Many of the other comments are some of the nerdliest nerding I've seen on the Internet for quite a while. That's the ENTIRE INTERNET, which is FULL OF NERDING.

Giant Tope · 03/12/2010, 02:09 am

I didn't see anything particularly nerdy. Or at least anything more than usual.

They aren't mad at you. Just some of them are jealous of you getting that award.

This SE looks FANTASTIC! Really really amazing, they improved EVERYTHING from the first SE, well except the cover art, I have to agree with the whiners on this one. It is a horrible insult to the original cover by Purcell.

The main issue is Guybrush's face! Although the whole thing pails in comparison to the beauty of Purcell's artwork. I have the original printed and framed in my house (thanks to Laserschwert)

The first SE cover was pretty bad too (mainly because of Guybrush's hair), so just like I did with that, I took the liberty to fix/improve the cover

Much better I think

But don't get me wrong, I'm not super upset by this. It's a downloadable game anyway and we will always have the original art, it's just a shame it's so poor in comparison to the great work done on the in game sprites and backgrounds, which all look fantastic to me.

EDIT: Link to a 3-way comparison (original, SE then my "fixed/improved" version).

Mathematically Named User, I like your cover fix.

Hayden · 03/12/2010, 07:53 am

Wow, parabolee, you've done a great job on that!

Yeah, it's amazing how effective just changing the filter can be! (and of course, changing guybrush).

MusicallyInspired · 03/12/2010, 09:11 am

As long as we're changing stuff, I think there's a problem with LeChuck's face as well, though I have no idea what it could be. I'm no artist. Something just seems off.

Funny you should mention that because I was just about to post my v2 with some small improvements, the main one being LeChuck's face :-D

And that 3-way again with the v2.

MusicallyInspired · 03/12/2010, 09:30 am

Hmmm I'm not sure if it's necessarily the colour tone that needs changing. Just the facial features themselves.

JedExodus · 03/12/2010, 09:41 am

But if it's a digital download it won't actually have a cover

Quiet you.

I think Lechucks problem is that he's too angular.
