Telltale Games

I fear this is going to bring down sales for Season 3 in the future...

"Oh, it's so buggy on platform x, why bother trying it on platform y."
Ah well. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Perhaps, but my Expert Opinion is that that blip won't affect sales for other platforms a single iota. Not even .1 iotas.

I really wish Telltale would stop releasing these bad ports that hurt their image.

No iPad to develop with? Really?

Although I haven't seen much of it, Devil's Playhouse made me laugh. It was pretty funny. I think people just like to be elitist, which is why they say "wit", as in "Joke only I and my equals will get". Although Sam and Max sometimes skirts too close to their trademark humor, I've mostly found this to be rather funny. Keeping in mind I just saw some gameplay videos, and not very long ones either.

Or any game besides sbcg4ap on MY netbook(no wait I cant even get the game started my bad)

Seems like all the bad reviews are for the laggy iPad and people who aren't planning on following the rest of the series. I'm planning to follow it on PC, so I'm good.

Hi all

For getting best performance, we suggest you have the game as the only app running. As a 3D game with richer graphics, it'll be smoothest if you don't have other apps running at the same time.

1. Hold down the sleep/wake button at the top of the device for a few seconds until the screen displays the message 'slide to power off.'
2. Power off the device by moving the slider.
3. Hold down the sleep/wake button again until the device powers back on.
4. When the home screen is displayed, relaunch the game

Well, reviews like this one haven't stopped China from cranking out badly made video games...

np: Autechre - Yeesland (Cichlisuite)

Joel,

Thanks for the tip - that definitely improved the performance. Of course, when coming to Telltale's website, I noticed you've dropped the price on the game already... Oh well, at least it is working now.

Neat! I was curious about the controls. Who was the VO for the video, by the way? (I have a feeling it's gonna be someone blindingly obvious in hindsight, but hey.)

That's Mark Barbolak, I think he played the treasure pirate in ToMI 5. He's primarily our legal representative believe it or not

Gibbeynator · 04/07/2010, 03:13 pm

Anyone up to answering a few basic questions?

1. Is the world still censored after Sam swapped the swear list for Satan's shopping list?
2. Are the COPS back?
3. Followup, if so, did they fix Bluster Blaster?
4. Is the DeSoto still possessed?

I'll throw these in spoiler tags to be safe, but really, Season 2 has been over for 2 years at this point, they really shouldn't be spoilers at this point.

I love that this is true.

1. Unknown. I'd tend to doubt it beyond a potential gag or two.
2. All except BB confirmed.
3. Unknown. Probably not, for Jared's sake.
4. Confirmed as yes.
