I fucking love monky island, looking forward to playing this one, just hope it's as awsome as the others.
" Heh, it is amazing how many people flocked online, as you can see here. It's a shame the game was delayed by a couple of hours since it's now July 8th here in the UK. Alas, the site is currently "under the knife" which means they are putting the game online... wooooo! "Delayed a couple of hours? I haven't seen a game through digital distribution have this much of a delay for an initial release. If the game was supposed to come out at 3, then sure, a couple of hours. I've been waiting all fricken day for this thing to be released, TellTale and Monkey Island Facebooks are appropriately filling up with many very angry customers. I can't imagine what some people over certain date lines are doing right now. July 8th it is!
" @SuperMooseman said:Sounds like those angry customers (and possibly you) need to relax. A few hours isn't that bad, it's not like the game was delayed a month, you will have it very soon or at worst sometime this week."

Granted, I've waited this long for something regarding Monkey Island, the least I can do is wait another, day? hour? few minutes? whatever tangible piece of time?Even still, their entire web page is now down. They should have known better. "
" I couldn't preorder, Any chance that the games will come out in stores? "A season purchase on the website gets you a boxed copy of the game once all the episodes are released if that's why you wanted to wait for retail. Otherwise I think they did put out retail copies of their previous adventure games sometime later.
" @vidiot said:Angry? Me? No. Annoyed, but not enough to start pulling my hair like all the comments I've read today. Like I said, if you've been waiting for this thing (a new monkey island game) this long like I have, the least you could do is wait a bit more. But, that does not all Telltale to get off the hook in regards to how this thing was launched. It was clearly messy and they should have known better they've been doing this for a while now." @SuperMooseman said:Sounds like those angry customers (and possibly you) need to relax.

" @Babble said:Well none of their other games have garnered this much attention on release.

" @vidiot: Dude, I'm a HUGE Monkey Island fan. Huuuuuuuuge. I didn't get that stressed over it. They said the game would come out around midday their time, and they were just a couple of hours late. Get over it, seriously. "Well I'm a super-duper Monkey Island fan times infinity, and I say Telltale needs reasonable architecture that doesn't fry when their demand is too much, and should have foreseen issues they had today due to their experience offering digital downloads.
