Telltale Games

It currently has a 2.73/5 from 442 people WHO HAVE PLAYED THE DEMO (IE None of that 360 BS where you can just click on some random game & rate it).

Ouch!!! That one has got to hurt!!!

Purple Tentacle · 07/01/2010, 05:55 am

Haha, I noticed that! The same thing with TOMI, at least the last time I checked. Luckily the full game unlocks got a more deserving score. Something like 4.79, I think

roberttitus · 07/01/2010, 05:58 am

Out of like 3 people. The full version of Sam & Max has a whopping total of ONE rating.

Purple Tentacle · 07/01/2010, 06:02 am

Yikes! I didn't look at the amount of people before. That's quite sad

Dandi8 · 07/01/2010, 06:04 am

Just goes to show how weird some people are.
I mean... How could you NOT enjoy Sam & Max?

...

HOW COULD YOU!?

I like most of season one, The first part of Ice Station Santa & Chariot of the Dogs (both from season two)... but that is as far I go. I hate most of Season 2 & so far I am not liking Season 3 either.

Gibbeynator · 07/01/2010, 06:40 am

Well, to be fair, the demo is only the opening of The Penal Zone... and The Penal Zone has a ton of issues with it.

*Irishmile* · 07/01/2010, 07:05 am

I think part of the problem is that many console gamers expect more action... when they play an adventure game they do not know what to think of it..

Dandi8 · 07/01/2010, 07:45 am

^ +1

I actually liked most of seasons 1&2, so far love season 3. But if I didn't like a particular episode, I still enjoyed it :P

This.

Console gamers just suck.

And now I actually have proof to give with that thesis

onlyamonkey · 07/01/2010, 03:11 pm

They don't get it. If they would get it, adventure games would be mainstream.

Avel · 07/01/2010, 03:22 pm

Ratings for the full games as far as I can tell are:

Penal Zone: 4.78 (183 ratings)
Tomb of Sammun-Mak: 4.84 (113 ratings)
They Stole Max's Brain: 4.80 (105 ratings)

So I'm not sure where you got 3 people from. (I remember looking at similar stats yesterday, so I dunno if it ballooned all that much)

This is 100% true. I've seen console gamers say Monkey Island "isn't even a game" because "you don't fight anything." That was the second largest facepalm I've ever done.

i love adventure games and i loved the season 3 my fvorite episode so far was the second my second favorite is the third

Yohmi · 07/01/2010, 04:37 pm

Yeah, for many people, sadly, adventure game means Uncharted. Which is a third person shooter melted with an action game. So when they come to Sam&Max, and discovered video games with the Playstation*2, I can understand their disappointment.

Sammy · 07/01/2010, 04:44 pm

People need to know that adventure games and action adventure games are 2 different things.

Actually, I do own a PS3 and an XBOX360. Granted, I'm currently in the process of selling the 360 but I do love my PS3. Not that I have many games for it but still. I am a console gamer in a way.
You may want to correct your thesis to "Console-Only Gamers"

Then I'd assume your theory is at least 100% correct.

I mean... When you're willing to trade the ability to mod your games for the one-in-a-lifetime chance of buying overpriced games... You get my drift.

roberttitus · 07/02/2010, 08:00 am

Let me read your posts back to you...

Anybody who likes playing games on there television are just idiots. I mean forget all the classics that consoles have provided & even the fact that without consoles such as the Atari, there would be no such things as video games... REAL gamers like me know that the only way to play games is with a keyboard & that any game that has any *GASP* ACTION in it just sucks. I mean how dare anybody not like the same things I do!!! They are just big dumb buttheads!!!
