So what free game did you choose? [Archive]

Excellent game, but it won't make any sense out of context. You chose the fourth chapter in an epic story, man.

I went with the first episode of Wallace and Gromit. It's the only series I haven't gotten yet, so I thought I'd try one and, if I liked it, buy the whole set. :)

I'm thinking of getting the first episode of Bone, but there is a "CD upgrade" that is more expensive... I'd rather get the CD too but I'm not sure if I can with the code and pay the difference or something?

Do I have to use my code today? Some people say they don't expire but I'm still worried they might be wrong...

I was told that t' Sam & Max episodes were self contained n' that Tales was t' first bunch o' episodes that all joined together t' make one big fable. :confused:

Yeah, but not really. They do link up.

You're just gonna be confused. Go buy the season upgrade, Sam and max is pretty awesome. It's as good as monkey island, and I never thought I would say that.

09/19/2009, 12:32 am

I didn't like it as much as MI, (didn't like hit the road as much as MI either). It is a chortle though.

I've already got S&M Season 2 (I bought it while I was waiting for Siege), Series 1 already has a free game, so picking one of those would be pointless (since the season upgrade would be the same price).

I don't fancy W&G. Looks very pretty but I've got the feeling it would annoy me.

I got Bone Ep1. In the end. i've never heard of it, but that's not neccessarily a bad thing.

Arrrr, I be new to Telltale Games, n' I i be a little confused if someone could kindly help me out.

Two quick questions...

Could I of got me'self Texas Hold Em' instead of this Monkey Island game with this 'speak like a pirate day' free download? Arrrr, I like a good card game :(

**Takes a swig of rum**

Ar and yes, the other question now... Can I only play this so called Monkey Island game just for today? 'cause i don't understand why it's asking me if i want to pay for a full season...

Arrr, me accent is turning a bit northern now and i am beginning to sound like a farmer, so i'll be on my way.

09/19/2009, 10:37 am

I can't decide what to get.

I hadn't played Sam and Max, but downloaded the free episode....and wasn't blown away by it.
I thought it was a tad easy and short.

Maybe I will download a different episode and have a second bash at it...see if it can change my mind :P

Any suggestions?

I looted the first W&G episode and got the upgrade which I found out to be of the same price as the whole deal this weekend *head... bang... wall...*.

Wasn't actually a bad deal since I think I'll be buying all that's left to buy anyway and both ways the price would be even stevens.

09/19/2009, 12:55 pm

I chose the first episode of Strong Bad because if I really like it I can get the season upgrade.

Just out of curiosity, did everyone receive a different code or are they all identical like the Treasure Hunt codes? Also... not that I would do this because I want to fund TT's creations... but could someone potentially use their code again and again? I hope not!

09/19/2009, 04:40 pm

I'm holding onto my code since Those Who Know have said they're non-expiring. However, the store is listing all seasons as $19.95 this weekend, so I'm considering using my 50% treasure coupon in combination with that.

Unfortunately, this doesn't work. The $20 prices are the result of a discount on the full price. Unfortunately, you can't really "stack" coupons (which is a shame, as I'm having a hard time getting use out of one or two of mine). So it would only take 50% off the full price, making it a complete waste, as that only brings a $35 season down to just under the $20 mark. I wish Telltale would change this, though...

Also, I think the best thing to spend these free episode coupons on might be W&G. With the S&M seasons, you're really better off getting the full season, since it's so cheap right now. Getting a random episode, playing them out of order, or not having the full season, ruins the experience a little, and ultimately you will want the whole season. Sure, you can do a season upgrade, but right now, it's cheaper to get the whole season than it is to get the season upgrade (which, sadly, is not discounted right now). So if you ever plan on getting the whole season, you should be doing that now, as it's cheaper than if you waste your coupon. W&G is good because it's only 4 episodes, so you really save more. Combining this one with the one I got for pre-ordering, that's half the season for free.

Or you could just play...

"Join poker's most outspoken players for a hand of Telltale Texas Hold'em, the card game stacked high with personality. Quips will fly, chips will fall, and you may just end up rolling in the aisles.

This is your chance to play in a poker tournament against four characters of such lethal absurdity, you'll either die laughing or die trying. Test your skills as you answer life's toughest questions...

* Can you outsmart Harry Weinhead, the wily businessman and student of the game?
* Can you humiliate Boris Krinkle, the tough guy with a heart of pure lead?
* Can you groove with Theodore Dudebrough, slacker extraordinaire and just plain cool dude?
* Can you even understand Grandma Shaky, the eccentric old coot who may be more dangerous than she looks?

Even if you've never played Texas Hold'em before, you'll learn everything you need to know, and you'll laugh learning it!"

I hope they release free episode coupons again soon. I've bought all the adventure game seasons and the free episode coupon from Pirate Day went on Bone: Out from Boneville. I want to play Cow Race, dammit!

Another free episode isn't much to ask. I've already handed over in excess of $100 and I'll pre-order/buy Sam & Max Season 3 and/or TMI Season 2 as soon as one/both become/s available.

Everyone here got a free game coupon for something or other. It was started during the "Talk Like a Pirate Day" special, when TMI ep1 was available for free download. People who had already bought the season got a code then for a free game.
Also, anyone who participated in the Halloween contest got a coupon too, whether or not they won anything. :)

For the talk like a pirate day I'we got wallace & Gromit EP2
For the Wallace & Gromit day I'we downloaded a free episode of Wallace & Gromit and it was EP3.

So I'm waiting for another free cupon to get EP4.

I did the same thing. Just that I bought the fourth episode when everything was 20% off. Figured I could at least give some money when I had got the rest for free, but I had thought about waiting to somehow get the fourth episode for free too :) Just to see if it was possible.
