Hey guys! Game is great so far :)

Just nitpicking a bit -- during the first De Singe cutscene, he says "La mort est tuée".
This ends up as "La mort est tue" in the subtitles. I know that your font doesn't support French accents, but you might want to fix this as "La mort est tuee" in a future update. Just in case you care about these little details :)

Comment by Discochria
September 29, 2009, 11:34 am
"Manatees with teeth?"

Manatees have teeth. In fact they have marching molars, which slowly move forward in the mouth until they eventually are worn down and fall out. The teeth closest to the back are the newest and least worn down. This teeth replacement process helps compensate for the fact that they are constantly wearing their teeth down while chewing on the large quantities of sand that gets consumed in their bottom feeding diet.

I played Lair of the Leviathan on Steam earlier and NOW IT WON'T LET ME PLAY. IT SAYS IT HAS TO UPDATE IT!!! Why would they have to update a game that's already finished and already downloaded? Is this super glitched or something?
Comment by chubes12
September 29, 2009, 1:45 pm
I know is illegal, but it wouldn't be if the game was a little bit cheaper! But many people is downloading from piratebay, more than you know ;)
Comment by Discochria
September 29, 2009, 1:48 pm
Can we expect another 'buy it seperately' offer like Siege of Spinner Cay got, or maybe an upgrade option for those of us who bought it?

I only ask because between that and the Talk Like a Pirate Day offer, it makes more sense to buy them all separately now.
Comment by TrogLlama
September 29, 2009, 1:49 pm
Discochria - that's sad. Guybrush disapproves.
I can't ever see myself downloading a Monkey Island game unless it's out of print or something.
Comment by TookiGuy
September 29, 2009, 1:49 pm
Far too easy. Start playing at 19:30 (CET), finished it just at 23:00. It was cool, but it was easy. Gave me one hint before I lowered the hint level, still continued without problems. Oh, and the plot was rather predictable.

The user interface of the hints could use some work, it is very unclear what it actually does. Tooltip maybe?

And now I have to wait a full month again for part 4 :(

Though, we don't have an explanation for manatee teeth, nor why they are the size of the Titanic, nor why a skull can talk. That's the fun of games!

Awesome as always, Telltale. I finished the episode a bit earlier. It was shorter than the other two, but it made up for it with some of the best puzzle design that I have seen in a Telltale game. I can't wait to play the next one.

Comment by Stan
September 30, 2009, 8:17 am
The Tongue of the Manatee is not where it´s supposed to be!! It simply doesn´t appear! (I´ve already used the fish on the bongos)
Did that happen to somebody else or just me? Is there any way to solve that?
Thanx!
Comment by tassadar30
September 30, 2009, 10:00 am
WOW!
This is the best episode! I fully enjoyed it. I took me 3-4 hours to complete - Amazing work!!!

I wish the Monkey Island theme song would be there more like on the dive decent - I LOVE IT!

Thank you so much for this game!

*spoiler* (help to the previous poster): The Tongue of the Manatee: after you use the fish, take the tube to the yellow bile where you took drinks previously. You can reach it from there.

Wow, you guys really make a good game, played all the chapters so far with a friend(not that I needed it but for tradition's sake, we've played all the other Monkey Island games together) It's great to see the humour continuing in big style, beautiful animation, and indulging puzzles. I look forward to playing the next chapters! Long live Murray!(thanks for bringing him in, I missed him!)

The tongue of the manatee doesn't appear to me. I suppose it's a bug problem.

I've seen where it is, but in my game it's not there!!!!!
Comment by MetalGod
October 1, 2009, 4:26 am
Yeah, I got the info from Moose. Think it might be a bug? It didn't cut to the Tongue in the bile when I entered either.

October 1, 2009, 7:03 am
For the people who can't get the tongue, are you playing the final released version or the press version? Because the final version should work fine.

Great episode! The return of Murray was awesome. Seriously, so far, I'm thinking this series is Tell Tale's best. Which isn't to say that I don't love all of the other series' that are out, but Tales of MI is consistently funny, the characters are all great and well developed, the story is very engaging, and the puzzles are well-designed without being too difficult. Looking forward to the final two chapters.

Comment by Hayden
October 4, 2009, 6:47 pm
I like this one much better than episode 2 and maybe even more than episode 1. Seemed bigger, more places to go, and took me way longer than episode 2. People who look up hints or use walkthroughs shouldn't be surprised if they finish too fast. 75% of the time spent in these games is being stuck trying to figure out a puzzle or next step. There isn't any leveling up or earning money or running back and forth so just enjoy the confusion and relish the 'ah-ha' moments.

Comment by Me Kidneys
October 5, 2009, 10:42 pm
First - I enjoyed this episode very much. I'm not a very good adventure-player, and this was my level of difficulty, which is why I liked it so much. And interacting with LeFlay of course :)

Second - look at this review: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/editorials/reviews/6600-Review-Tales-of-Monkey-Island-Episode-3-Lair-of-the-Leviathan . Isn't it odd that when the reviewer dislikes a game, all the comment writers are equally negative? :(

Fortunately most people (reviewers and players alike) like the series, so I'm looking forward to the next two installments!

THAT very best an most melancholic scene was the dive to the mating grounds, as it appeard many year ago in Lechucks Revenge; sailing on capsize' boat diving to the seamonkey.

Comment by Anon
October 10, 2009, 6:08 am
All of you people wanting the WiiWare release date, I too wait for that day. Wiishop channel updates every Monday, since the Telltale team has sad nothing it is safe to assume it isn't tomorrow. The gap between the first episode's PC release and Wii release was 20 days. Guess what, next Monday will be 20 days since episode 3's PC release. So please be patient and stop the whining.
Comment by The Wii Avenger

Comment by The Wii Avenger
October 13, 2009, 3:39 pm
You might be an teen. But thats not the point. The people of telltale should be pros, right? And being a professional looks different. This is at least what I think. The situation in Europe is, that there wont be a part three in the next weeks. Part 4 will long be published in many parts before there is a chance to play part 3.

In the beginnig Telltale said that they woul publish a game every month. On PC and Wii. They dont even get close to that. They release it on PC, four weeks later on Wii an another four weeks later on Wii Europe. Without saying a word like "sorry " or "its not as easy as we thought"....
Comment by GeCon Kiese
October 14, 2009, 7:34 am
I was referring to bubblemushrooms' comment because it sounded like I was thought to be a Nintendo or Telltale employee, and I don't want to make people more mad at them than they already are. I had no idea that the wait was so bad in Europe.

October 14, 2009, 11:53 am
I really wish we had have known about these wiiware 'delays' beforehand, I would have DEFINITLY purchased the friggin PC Version.
Comment by Ignorant
October 14, 2009, 1:06 pm
Well I for one am getting bored, starting to think about moving on to a new game. If I have to wait much longer I will not be purchasing any more games from telltale. It is a real shame, but the releases are not living up to the promise. I complete the game and wait, and wait, and wait, and then I move on. Its getting to the point of no return Telltale, get your act together.
Comment by Anon
October 14, 2009, 1:08 pm
I'm guessing the WiiWare of chapter 3 will come out on October 26 with chapter 4 on November 23 and chapter 5 on December 14.
Comment by Jason
October 15, 2009, 7:28 am
This chapter was truly outstanding. I can't believe the quality and amount of content you guys managed to cram into this thing in such a limited development cycle. The variety of the visuals, puzzles, voice acting, visuals, music, etc was just amazing - especially for what I suppose amounts to a 45-day game. Keep up the great work Telltale!!!
Comment by Ripcord
October 20, 2009, 12:46 am
BTW, on the Wii releases, from what I gather a huge part of the delay is Nintendo's approval process. I'm not sure how much is Telltale's fault. Though a little more info would probably help keep the frustration level down.
Comment by Ripcord
October 20, 2009, 12:48 am
So... Chapter 4 is about to be released. And part 3 isn't even close to be on wiiware (europe).
So i just bought it on steam.
