They stole max's brain - Finished thread *SPOILERs*

[The_Hamburgaler]

Ok, so I did this for penal zone and forgot to do one for the tomb of sammun mak. At the time of posting, the new episode arrives in 9 minuets.

Basically, once you finished the game, come back to this thred, and we can discuss what we thought about the game. And scream about "NOW I HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER MONTH TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED TO BABY JESUS CHRIST AND BABY AMELIA AIRHEART!"

Or something like that.

6 minuets. AWW DAMN!!! Here we go!

[henke37]

Completed it. Would have completed it sooner if I didn't have to put ice under my computer to get it stable enough to run the game.

[Remolay]

I would have completed it sooner has I not wanted tortillas suddenly. I still beat it pretty fast.

Sammun-Mak being the villain was a good twist

[Emo Hoe]

This is kind of the last spill crazy into the mix episode. 4 and 5 are the tie up episodes.

And boy do we have a lot to tie up!

3 remaining villains and a whole box of toys we haven't used yet etc.

[Kroms]

And a well-designed one, since it emerges from gameplay.

I loved the Monkey Island Reference Sal said along with conferming Sal was Stinky's cook.

[Hungryfreak]

I do love the questions raised and the new elements added to the grand scheme of things. It also changed how I viewed the first two episodes greatly by bringing the villains back and telling us that they're still in play and that they would be allowed to live up to their potentials. Of course this episode isn't their last, either!

[Jaysgba]

Just finished, definitely my favourite episode

[Shadowchild]

Finished it and boy does my brain hurt

[SillyStell]

Only got really stuck once, over all it was a good episode and a pretty good twist, now we have to wait and find out what the heck is with all the sams!

[jaden551]

loved it and A TALKING skull! three monkey island references in the space of two sals

[Falanca]

Sam beating up Skunkape = Awesome. Thank you Telltale.

[Emo Hoe]

A thought just struck me:

Dr Norrington and the Narrator both talk in posh voices.
No-ring-ton...Na-rra-tor they are similar sounds
Dr Norrington wants Yog-Sogoth to be summoned from another realm
The Narrator is clearly invested in this story and in some other realm place.
What if Dr Norrington = Narrator = Yog-Sogoth?
The concept of the narrator intrigues me as it seems he MUST come into the main plot some how, why else suddenly have a narrator after 2 seasons especially when he doesn't do anything that couldn't be done without him?

[techgeek07]

Great episode. Now on to not so patiently waiting for the next.

[World93]

Completed. It was definitely different

[Emo Hoe]

My top tip for time saving in this game would be:
After you got the have the toys with max's brain drive to the gift place and frankie and check the pay phones; then drive to the museum . From then on you can tele about easily.

The pay phones cover two lcoations, stinkys cell covers another and cops dumps u right in the museum

[TonViper]

For some reason I'm hoping Sam and Max get to beat up the narrator at the end of the season. It just seems like something they'd do if they knew he existed.

[Graywing]

Really really loved the noir part, especially what they did with the driving cut-scenes, semi-interactive dialogues and superb musical score.

Liked the museum part (Sal is one to stay!)

But found the last part in the alternate reality quite bland graphic wise, and dull game-play wise (don't kill me for this)..

Episode two is still my favorite despite its technical flaws,

Well, I think the Narrator is a great story-telling device and totally fits the overall feel of this season, without having anything to do with the plot.

But, I did think that Dr. Norrington sounded uncannily like him, and it would be even cooler if he did get involved in the story somehow! Also, knowing that Telltale don't make a new character model without a damn good reason, it wouldn't surprised me if they reused this one to make a final badass villain!

My overall thoughts on the episode:

Wow, this was great. Sharpest writing since Hit the Road, and the writing is the #1 most important part of such a crucially story-driven game! There were a few weaker points in the puzzles, and I was disappointed I didn't get to beat up a few more suspects during the whole noir segment - but yeah, this was a great episode all round
