DFA are going to publicly release the documentary to try and get sales interest.

Man, how many times does he have to tell you... "You weren't playing it the right way!!"

One day I almost downloaded torrent versions of the documentaries, just to see this part. Since i don't know in which episode it happened, I gave up.

Can someone fill me in about felipepepepe calling someone a jerk?

 

[Metro]

I believe the image is posted earlier in the thread. He was (rightly) criticizing the game on Double Fine forums and the documentary had a part in it where Tim was reading the post.

 

[Modron]

Felipe's critique wasn't inflammatory/offensive either; Tim tried to play it off as a joke later.

He asked for a partial refund on the forum, Tim Shafer called him a jerk in a video.

He's pretty famous now.

On a forum? Twitter?

The doublefine forum.

It was ridiculous... I made a thread on the backer-only fan feedback sub-forum addressing the devs, asking if I could get a refund. They didn't reply me and instead let their army of drones harass me (should have made a Patreon), with a bunch of guys with thousands of posts acting as if their opinion matter in this, calling me all kind of stuff while the mods turned a blind eye. Yet the mods had plenty of time to lock the thread I made on the Steam forums complaining about how dumb the game's puzzles were.

Then about a week later, when my thread became the most viewed one in the forums, Chris Remo replied me with that retarded logic that they made the game "in good faith", so I had no business asking for a refund. I fucking hate that "they worked pretty hard on this!" logic... as if game developers are the only people that work hard on stuff and so must be respected even if the result is bad. A month later, the documentary episode comes out. The camera shows Tim reading my forum post and going "You're a jerk. Thanks for backing, but you're a jerk". That's some fucking A respect for the customer there. Of course, Tim's hugbox first laughed and called me a jerk as well en masse, then went "oh, he's just joking, he's like that!".

Luckily, karma is a bitch and now everyone is noticing what a failure Double-Fine really is. About 4 years and 5 million dollars later, they still haven't delivered the game, did that douche thing with Spacebase D-9 and are still on business just by milking Tim's past achievements... In the end, not getting a refund was actually a good thing. I'm very curious to see DF upholding their word and sending those special edition boxes. And if they ever deliver, I'm sure I'll be able to sell it to some fanboy for more than they would refund me.

Send felipepepe to pull a John Walker/RPS interview on Tim.

Wait... all this time and they still haven't sent out physical rewards? Wow.

How can they, if the game isn't ready? And they'll wait until the documentary is finished to send the CE box - on their calendar that's "Fall 2015".

When I briefly interacted with him at PAX East last year and he stated the Codex wasn't "playing it right" after expressing our disappointment with the puzzles I kind of felt bad after my write-up here. Maybe he had tried to recapture his past glory and make an "old school" adventure for us old "school gamers" but just failed in the execution? I did kind of an ambush him at his signing thing with my critical comments. However, since then he's actually been interviewed and admitted he made the game for his little girl. We were right all along and he never intended to make a game for those who gave him millions. I don't feel bad anymore.

And after Part 2 released, you all will see how good the puzzles are, and you have to apologize.

 

[garren]

So I bit the bullet and started this game finally (backed on kickstarter). I was gonna wait till they release the second part but what the hell, might as well get the first part out of the way, since the second part isn't too far away now.

And this game is shit. Played an hour, but I just can't continue. The "puzzles" are way too easy and they're spread thin, the art style doesn't really appeal to me and I feel like I'm watching a movie with the constant cutscenes, not playing a game. The humor is... meh. I just can't see myself enjoying this.

I'm just gonna drop this. 15 bucks into the trash..

[Explorerbc]

I dislike Tim Schafer and his fanboys more and more every day.

I guess the only way I will play Grim Fandango is from a humble bundle with all given to charity.

Yeah, 'A whole bunch of awesome PUZZLES', my ass. That's consumer fraud, is what it is!:S

There's more than one way to play the game?

 

[Metro]

Of course: the right way and the wrong way!

And after Part 2 released

Nah, it'll definitely get released eventually. DF can't afford to fuck that up. Whether it's going to be any different and/or better than part 1 - that's a different matter altogether.

I do wonder if it's even possible for this game to achieve profitability at this stage. The initial budget must've, what, tripled by now?

Playing it with a little girl makes a world of difference
