Got Wii and PC? Discount?

As a proud owner of Monkey Island for the PC (in study) and also having a Wii in my lounge (honestly, I'm not bragging!) I was hoping there may be some discount for purchasing the titles in both formats.

This would encourage my laziness (currently I have to walk upstairs to experience the amazing delights of MI) and would annoy my wife by hogging the TV - among many other benefits.

Any discount for such bravado would be much appreciated.

    Nah. You'd have to be a bit special to buy both versions, and it would look really unprofessional for Telltale to encourage it.

    Don't buy the Wii version, you'll regret if for sure

    Regardless of whether or not this would be a good idea, it's logistically impossible. They have no means of tracking and verifying Wiiware purchases, that's Nintendo's part of the deal.

    Yes, thats why I had to buy and pay for my strong bad dvd that I bought for not buying the PC version, just the wiiware version. But my terrible luck aside, he's right. I believe this also goes for all other games taht are ported to different consoles, which at the monent is sam and max and wallace and gromit(and maybe csi because I dont know what consoles those went on)

    I think we can learn a valuable lesson here from Gman. Just pre-order from TellTale, forget about ports, save money, and get all the extras.

    What?

    The Wii version is crappy and everyone knows that
    It is more expensive, has LOW QUALITY SOUNDS AND TEXTURES, and the Wii is a piece of shit

    So, you haven't actually played the Wiiware version, have you?
  • edited July 2009
    Yes I have
    I (very unfortunately) bought a Wii when it came out. That's probably the most stupid thing I ever did.
    Then I bought TMI on WiiWare to compare the two versions and make TellTale rich.

    Yet again, the trolls that can't stop bashing everybody else's console. :rolleyes:

    The Wii version of the game has some problems right now, but Telltale is working to fix the problems for the next release. Even so, in terms of graphics and textures, the PC version is probably going to remain superior to the Wii's.

    I speak the truth

    Oh the Wii and the crippling compression...

    I themed my Guybrush accusation around it. Modified slightly to make sense in a pirate game, of course!

    He made me stuff 200 rats into a crate that only had room for 40! Aye, 'twas a terrifying sight to behold. And oh, the hideous sounds!

    That contest is a joke.

    This terrible entry has been in the top 5 the past 2 weeks: "I've a very thin friend, and every time that Guybrush meets him he tells "Murray?""

    There's no WAY that this guy is getting legitimate votes.

    It won week one. But it isn't that funny, and it should say "says" not tells.
  • edited July 2009
    Wait no it didn't. I dunno how that one is getting on the leaderboard.

    Probably a multi.

    But nothing I've seen yet has been that witty.

    WHAT? That's the best entry I read for this contest. I voted for it twice!

    I hope the winning entries aren't automatically the ones with the most votes, because I agree with you. Hopefully someone at Telltale is glancing at some of the other entries now and then.

    I don't think very many of the entries are terribly funny, either. There have been way too many cheap references to past MI games. I mean, references CAN be funny, but only if they add something new to it somehow. Most of the references don't do anything other than recall some bit of trivia in the game and stick it into a sentence. It would be like someone creating a line from the cook at the Scumm Bar saying, "He stole a pot and a piece of meat from my kitchen!" Where's the joke? (please note that was a fictional example; I haven't actually seen someone use that one)?

    Most of the references have been along those lines; it's like talking to someone about the game and saying, "remember this one joke in the game?" They just don't take any thought to create. Sometimes they make you chuckle, but more often than not it's a chuckle of nostalgia at the original joke, and doesn't mean that the line was funny in it's own right. IMO, if a reference isn't somehow funny in it's own right, it's worthless (and obscurity doesn't necessarily equate to humor, as some seem to think).

    There are also other problems; for instance, cliche/tired jokes (three headed monkeys, fine leather jackets, rubber chickens with pulleys in the middle, etc).

    One thing I wonder is, why do the gameboards never seem to change? In the past several days, the five leaderboard entires have been the exact same, and in the exact same order. You would think it would flucuate at least a little bit.

    Another reason I suspect the boards have been rigged by a few of the contenders.

    And since we're talking about how some of the entries could be improved -- I think a lot of them are just way too long for whatever payoff you get at the end. Brevity is the soul of wit, and all that...

    Only entries containing 25 words or less will be accepted by Tell Tale in the end (it's in the rules), so the really long-winded ones will be tossed out (even if they endd up winning, I would bet).
  • edited August 2009
    Telltale will most likely come up with their own insults, and just say the community came up with em. Makes everyone happy.
  • edited August 2009
    Aww crap, I should have read the rules. Mine was 27 words long, so I'm 2 over. Not that it's made the leaderboards anyway...
