Telltale Games

The first thing I did was turn the hint system all the way down to no bars. It took me 9 hours to beat, but where is the fun when the game tells you what to do. I loved the game and have started playing it all over again. Looking forward to the next one.

I play with mine turned up just because they sometimes have funny lines in the hints.

sabrateur · 07/08/2009, 07:20 pm

I play mine with the hints switched off. Now that you mentioned the funny lines, I will turn the hints all the way up for my second play through.

9 hours!?

Roamin64 · 07/08/2009, 07:20 pm

Yes 9 hours total gameplay.... I am sure i am not all that fast, but wow what a great game!!!

Orusaka · 07/08/2009, 07:26 pm

Played with hints at default, which is 3/4, I think. Still got lost for hours at a time, though, as the hints were useless. Always said the most obvious things in the world, and never pointing me towards the parts of the puzzle I was struggling with. Might as well have played with it off.

TofuHead · 07/08/2009, 07:28 pm

There were hints?

Frogacuda · 07/08/2009, 07:33 pm

I kept it down. I turned it up at one point when I got stuck and then I realized it was completely useless, so I turned it back down.

Laffer · 07/08/2009, 07:34 pm

Turned the hints off and will do so in the next episodes. Took me around 3-4 hours and the game isn't that hard and if I really get stuck I can allways look for a solution on the forums.

NatsFan · 07/08/2009, 07:36 pm

I did it without hints, and I think it took me about 5-6 hours.

Bagge · 07/08/2009, 07:40 pm

I played without hints. Got through the game in just a little over three hours.

SHODANFreeman · 07/08/2009, 07:42 pm

My favorite hint line involves indiscriminate cannon fire

CaptainWicket · 07/08/2009, 07:46 pm

I didn't even notice the option for hint frequency, so I played the whole thing at default. But it never really gave anything away. The only hint I remember was "This jungle is noisy", relating to the first treasure map. But I'm sure I would've figured it out anyway. But to be on the safe side, I'll turn off hints next time.

sabrateur · 07/08/2009, 07:50 pm

CaptainWicket, in my game Threepwood said that noisy jungle line even though I had hints turned off.

Maybe the hint settings was not working properly for me.

Foodie_Monster · 07/08/2009, 07:51 pm

I didn't even know there was a hint system, I left it at default and didn't really get any hints at all... I think once Guybrush said something about the wind compass thing, but I was in the process of using the item when he started to say something about it...

The game was kind of on the short side. I don't see how you could've goten 9 hours out of it. I think I barely got 3 hours out of it. Maybe 4, tops.

Secret Fawful · 07/08/2009, 08:10 pm

The game clocked around 9 hours for me as well without hints. I didn't even use one hint the whole time I played. And the "jungle sure is noisy" line didn't play enough times to clue me into that solution; I figured that out on my own. For me some of the puzzles were pretty hard; I'm no expert at puzzles even though I've played a lot of adventure games.

Vegan · 07/08/2009, 09:14 pm

It appears that even when turned all the way down, it's not turning it OFF, it's just making the frequency of hints very low. So you could still get "lucky" and have him say something.

CalBearRJ · 07/08/2009, 09:55 pm

I turned the hints down a single notch before starting the game, but every time a hint popped up, my first thought was always, "Well, yeah....I thought of that part already. What now?" So I don't know that it helped really. I might just shut them off entirely in the next episode.

It took me about 4 hours to finish the game.

prizna · 07/09/2009, 02:49 am

just wondering, i have the hint system off, but i still seem to get hints when i am following the map, Guybrush says "this looks promising" when i go the corect way, and when doing the idol puzzle Guybrush mentions that the symbols could be related to the weather vane.
