Telltale Games

...that I had no desire or need to play through again.

In Episode 1 I got a new psychic toy to play with.

In Episode 2 I had to figure out how to get a couple trophies I missed my first time through.

In Episode 3 I did pretty much all there was to do including getting every trophy. And there was only 10 of them. Kind of disappointing.

Hopefully Episodes 4 and 5 can offer more replay value.

I'm also curious if there will be a Platinum for getting every trophy in all 5 seasons? I'm not sure if this is even possible, but it would be cool.

Regardless, Episode 3 was great and I can't wait for episode 4.

PSN games don't have platinums. I think one did, but that was it.

If the game is big enough, it can have a Platinum. The two that come to mind immediately are WipeOut HD and Trine.

^^ And both Uncharteds I think

All games that come on disc (as of January 2009) are required to have Trophies and therefore a platinum. Though the God of War Collection has 2 platinums because there are two games on the disc.

So basically, unless there's some sort of New Game +, a game has no replay value? I'm guessing you're the type of person who can only watch a movie once.

First of all...

Movie <> Game

Second of all, I replay games a lot without New Game+. I've played through Beyond Good & Evil at least 3 times. But how many more times would I have played through it if it had some kind of New Game+. New Game+ gives me even more reason to replay games. I think of it as a reward for beating the game.
New Game+ should be mandatory for every game. Same with unlockable costumes.

I felt just the same.

And yet you didn't answer my question.

FearMonkey · 06/29/2010, 02:41 pm

Pretty sure I answered your question. BG&E had no new game+ but I played it more than once. That disproves your quaint theory.

*GuruGuru214* · 06/29/2010, 04:11 pm

Still, I have to disagree with you. For example, there's Ocarina of Time, a game with no new game+ feature, which I replay one or more times a year. If the game is well-made, it's hardly a necessary feature, and certainly not one that "should be mandatory".

FearMonkey · 06/29/2010, 04:19 pm

but there's plenty of stuff to save for a second playthrough of OoT. I didn't bother getting all those Gold Skulltulas my first time through the game, nor did I do half the side-quests for example.

Episode 3 of Season 3 of Sam and Max is short and you can do everything easily in one playthrough. There's like no replay value whatsoever and that is disappointing to me.

splash1 · 06/29/2010, 04:33 pm

It's true, but I think the plot was excellent. Unfortunately the plot for Episode 3 was the only thing that was worth playing through in the game. The "noir" scene was awesome but it ended too quickly, and the "alternate reality" had no zing in it; not really worth playing all over like I did with Episode 1 and 2.

Am I the only one who read this thread title and thought to myself "No it wasn't, it was the third episode!"

You aren't the only one.

Avel · 06/29/2010, 07:35 pm

^Ditto.

I'm pretty much mandated to play each of these twice since I've got them on multiple platforms, though I probably would again because I'm something of a dialogue junkie when it comes to Telltale games. I was kind of hoping that they would have done more with the alternate reality, its really more a Modern day gone Egyptian than a Modern day gone adolescent Pharaoh's personal fantasy world.

Oh sorry, I misread it

alithanar8 · 07/03/2010, 04:26 pm

I actually enjoyed They Stole Max's Brain more then any other episode of Sam and Max out of all the seasons... The interrogations were fun as hell, and the story twists were ingenious and well made. I think the episode added so much to Max's character as a whole and him leading Sam around was a welcome relief to the status quo, A++ Telltale!

Neumi · 07/06/2010, 01:12 am

I really love the Brain episode. ok, the interrogation was a bit lame, not really my style.
But it's really cool.
