Wow, ep2. [spoilers]
 
Wow, is mostly all I can say. I feel this episode is basicly the height of all that TTG has given us so far.

It's smooth, tons of stuff to explore, extremely interesting and captivating storyline, lots of interaction, all locations are easy accessible, all puzzles makes sense, none of the old annoying characters took part of the story and you added some new ones that it is tons of fun interacting with.

I can't be more satisfied. This was a really, really, really solid performance. Job well done.

i agree, i played every episodes game from tellatale so far, and this was the best

it was great to see that they didnt reuse existing environments this time, because this was always my main issue

also kudos to the idea on figuring something out in the future to use it in the past

Zeek 05/18/2010 03:29 pm

Yeah, talking about bending the fabric of space and time. :D

Well they used that before (just let me say: patent :D).

Still i really liked episode 2, very good game. I really hope that episode 3 is here soon, i can't wait to see how this continues.

Yeah, the only bad thing is that you have to wait to play more once you've finished :). It's frustrating wanting more but not getting your wish fullfilled. I'm IT generation gdit. 303 NOW NOW NOW.

Indeed, very nicely put together episode. It did seem a bit short but looking at the time it looks like the hours went by pretty damn fast. Great to see new locations and new music.

Ribs 05/18/2010 04:05 pm

I thought it was no better then, say, Abe Lincoln Must Die! A fairly meh episode.

I seriously have to disagree with you here.
Still, the episode as a whole held up.

Not really. In there THEY were timetravelling, so it made sense they kept the data. However here S&M where just looking at their grandparents, and for them it wouldn't make sense to suddenly know things in the past since for them, it would have played in order.

So yeah, bending of time & space. Made for interesting puzzles though...

I mean, who doesn't love Jurgen? Or do you refer to the soda poppers grandpa? Or the narrator? The molemen doesn't come close to the annoying voice of cops or the boring that is lincoln.

Explain :)

Why is the word 'spoilers' in the subject line when there are no spoilers here?

When it comes to spoiling other people's fun, I'm more on the conservative side. Don't like taking chances.

For example: "none of the old annoying characters took part of the story and you added some new ones " can be viewed as a spoiler.

Also, in a thread about ep2 there's bound to be spoilers sooner or later.

I was more thinking along the lines of elves and babies.
Can't hate Jurgen... [in a german accent]dûh[/in a german accent].

GinnyN 05/18/2010 05:23 pm

Yeah, the baby was annoying, but that was the whole point of her. The Elves for some reason, while annoying, I liked how they were. That thing of trying to be a Street Gang + Mafia and actually believe that while been just... elves... I found them rather ironic.

richforce 05/18/2010 08:05 pm

Still it would have been great to have this scene

Nefertiti: You ruined my life, and on my birthday!

Mariachi: Did somebody say "Birthday"? [Whole music routine] Ole!

Sameth: That was...

Maximus: Let's never speak of this again.

Hungryfreak 05/18/2010 08:13 pm

That would have been perfect, especially seeing as Benny tells his daughter not to reveal the method of undoing the protection spell in front of T-H-E-M.

kane 05/18/2010 08:24 pm

:confused: these still more protector film its not in the storey

Giant Tope 05/18/2010 08:45 pm

In before "apollo justice did it first lolol"

(Sammun-Mak pulled it off a lot better, though)

Astro Gnocci 05/19/2010 03:01 am

Wow indeed.

I should be used to it by now but it's just amazing how telltale can keep topping themselve like that. The old season almost seem lame compared to the new stuff (and coming from a "it was better in my time" twat like me, that's saying something :p)

Was a bit turned off by a game breaking bug near the end, had to redo the whole episode... But it's done now and the annoyance is forgotten :D

I love how they're getting closer and closer to the real whackiness of the old comics ;)

Ray-The-Sun 05/19/2010 07:03 am

I didn't like it as much as others myself. Don't get me wrong, it was great, but I didn't like playing it out of order, and the new powers felt... weak.
