What are your favourite Telltale games?

[Hassat Hunter]

Get Sam & Max Seasons 1, 2 AND 3.

That should keep you occupied till the ToMI DVD ships, and season 3 starts running.
Otherwise, it's a long wait till April .

Only 1 of them can be called positive.
And I don't get how he can love ToMI there, then crack it down every other post (including your other link).

I have no idea what you're talking about. In one, he puts it above Curse, which he loves(a good deal more than I give it). In the other, he sees one flaw with a chapter, but otherwise loves it, and is excited for the next game in the series.

And those are two examples I got by choosing a random page. I'm sure I could do an entire case study of this person's opinions. But that would be stupid.

I really don't know why I'm having this discussion. I don't see why someone who isn't all sunshine and rainbows with a song in their heart for all the little children is suddenly a problem person..

And he says I'M the troll

You mean, aside from the art, music, amount of screens, Winslow, Morgan etc. (and this is just looking back 3 pages, haven't seen a single pro-ToMI post, besides the one you linked in all those times)

It's just... a little strange to see someone coming here when hating all telltale games, including Tales.
Sure, there are plenty of haters on some forums against some devs, but they usually get called out for that strange behavior, like here. Complains are fine, but if every post seen is a complaint, a person may get more attention, like is the case here.
You are pretty well known for being negative about CMI. All okay, you're here for ToMI and MI in general, right? (and maybe even the other games)

But he seems to be here despite hating ToMI even. It's not only me who notices, after all GuruGuru214 made the original observation in this thread.
If he loves (hell, even likes) ToMI, he gots an odd way of showing such.

Get one of the Sam and Max seasons. Either 1, 2 or preorder 3.

I almost enjoyed the 2nd season a bit MORE than Tales, but that is maybe because Telltale get better when they have some experience with the characters and the universe, so I can't wait for TMI2 :3

You're taking things so far out of context that you'd need a galactic map to find it again. Thinking that Wiiware severely limits the potential of a game doesn't mean you hate the product. Thinking that new characters have served their purpose and we should make room to meet even more new characters in the next game does not mean somebody hates them.

You are pretty well known for being negative about CMI.

And Escape, for many of the same reasons, but very few people seem to mind that.

All okay, you're here for ToMI and MI in general, right? (and maybe even the other games)

I've been here since 2008. I'm not just here for the Monkey Island.

[thin029]

I am not negative about CMI, I just like Escape and its GrimE better. Tales was very fun, I really liked it, I just feel like it had worse sound quality and low number of screens even when compared to the older games, probably because of the episodic release and WiiWare port. As for Morgan and Winslow, they're great, but they've done their job, I don't want them to return for Tales sequels, I'd rather have new characters! I don't remember complaning about the art, though

I think Morgan has a role to continue, considering the finale. I think she really needs to fill LeChuck's role for at least part of a game, given the after-credits scene. Winslow maybe, but he is the first crewman to not really abandon Guybrush. Seems like he's worthwhile to keep.

I also think the limitations were caused by Wiiware rather than an episodic release, since the environments in Tales and Homestar feel a lot more empty than those of Telltale's other, non-Wiiware games. Same thing with the music: Sam and Max has a fully instrumental jazz soundtrack(OK, a bit of techno/electronica is thrown in, but not as a replacement for the instruments). And the art in Wallace and Gromit really does feel like a claymation short, I was really amazed by how nice it looked.

[thin029]

Fixed the thing about WiiWare in my post.
Sam and Max had fully instrumental soundtrack? OMG, I really liked Special Edition music because of that, I hope telltale consider doing that for Tales 2

[Hassat Hunter]

Yeah, I agree the Wii put some not-nice limitations on what ToMI could do.

That was to Rather Dashing .

Eh, that was about the posters thing.

Anywhere, here are the post I base my "accusations" on:
music

amount of screens

Winslow, Morgan

Up to you if I overreacted.

[thin029]

Well, the conversation was going on among me, ratherdash and guru, you came in all of a sudden saying I hate everything about Telltale AND Tales, which anyone can notice I do not, I only think I have the right to point flaws in video games, if you're happy with what you're getting, fine, that's your opinion, but I want better soundtrack, more screens and new characters for a possible next Tales game.

Kthxbai

[GuruGuru214]

After all of this, my take on it isn't so much that you hate everything as that you're way more prone to talk about your dislikes about something than what you actually liked about it. Which isn't an entirely bad thing, I guess. I mean it's made for some pretty crazy debate, and that's been fun.

[thin029]

Hahahaha, true!
Edit: I mean, true about the fun, the "you're way more prone to talk about your dislikes about something" is up to you

[Irishmile]

The internet was made for 2 things porn and making an a$$ of yourself.

Sometimes the two are the same...

[Chyron8472]

I have ToMI, Sam & Max Season 1 & 2 and SBCG4AP, and I love them all. The first episodes from any series are obviously not as good as the others, but again they're still satifying.

If you're going to consider getting Strong Bad, you should spend at least a few days looking over HomestarRunner.com first (especially watch all the Strong Bad e-mails.) It helps to understand the in-jokes.

One thing though: Where do you live to have to pay $35 for shipping ToMI???

There used to be a bug with bundles so people ordering the deluxe DVD ended up paying 35 dollars for shipping. Obviously most people decided to buy something else and have free shipping, which cost them the same but got them more stuff.

Subtract two episodes of Strong Bad and add one of Wallace and Gromit and you get my Telltale collection. I have yet to get to Strong Bad 103 or Wallace and Gromit 103, though.

Unfortunately, I bought Strong Bad 101 and 102 on WiiWare, so I'll be doing a season upgrade on the one PC episode I have of that...eventually... I just shelled out $70 to Telltale, so it's gonna be a while. A long while. But hey, I got a DVD, tarot cards, and Sam and Max season 3! None of which I'm going to see any of until next month!
