Telltale Games

Sal got beaten up by that ape. It is the first time I've ever felt like I did something wrong in an adventure game.

Sal is SUCH A LIKEABLE GUY

Remolay · 06/27/2010, 10:25 am

We'll he's got the voice. you know the one that screams "I'm a huge teddy bear"

so yeah... yes I did

guitarsareboring · 06/27/2010, 10:53 am

His voice really reminds me of John Ratzenberger.

And yes, I felt a little guilty.

light_rises · 06/27/2010, 10:58 am

Me too. It didn't help that even Sam sounded a touch more remorseful than the other times he's had to do something he's not totally comfortable with from an ethical standpoint. And that, too, was completely justified by Sal's pervasive likability. Heck, if Sam drank, I could imagine he and Sal being drinking buddies, those two got along so well.

In short, it was impossible for me to not feel for the big lug ... (And here I had foolishly thought I would never say that about a giant talking cockroach, haha.)

Which makes me think you've never played Simon the Sorcerer . . . And yes, I felt guilty. It was just a familiar type of guilt.

Same here. The only other time I've felt guilty in an adventure game was after sending Timmy Two-Teeth to Hell in What's New, Beelzebub?, but that feeling of guilt went away quickly after I brought him back.

Ah, yes. More than that, I felt a bit guilty about previously believing he was faking his Tourette's to get to say cuss words.

Pantagruel's Friend · 06/27/2010, 01:26 pm

Yep, I did feel guilty, although it was not for the first time in an adventure game

It really does come with the territory, huh? Ruining (or just temporarily screwing with) at least one innocent person's life seems part and parcel to beating most adventure games. Some instances are worst than others, though. ^^;

adventureaddict · 06/27/2010, 02:54 pm

Guilty. I believe I may have uttered a small 'aww' along with it.
How is it possible that I like a giant cockroach?!

Absolutely. Just after the 2nd episode, I was dead pissed at the moles for killing Sameth and Maximus, two immensely likeable, completely innocent rascals. Then, when I thought a bit about it, I realised that during the episode, among other "mischiefs", we turned Jurgen into a vampire simply to get access to his travelling trunk. But it was OK, as Jurgen wasn't a great chap, while Sal was. Ummm... I'm missing something here, aren't I?

MichaelDearmanUK · 06/28/2010, 04:24 am

...Bad? You don't know how bad feels until you come back from the john to find your little buddy lobotomized, a vacant stare plastered across his face like he'd endured an endless omnibus of 'I Love Money'.
When I saw Sal being being beaten up on account of my own doing, I felt...nothing...I don't even know how to feel anymore...now I'm just a shell of a dog, about as emotionless as a rock playing poker...

But seriously, yeah, I did feel kinda bad, Sal's a stand-up cockroach! Hope to see more of him in future episodes.

Secret Fawful · 06/28/2010, 06:46 am

This was my reaction to what happened to Sal.

For many, the first moment of guilt was the stamp collector scene in DoTT. After that it got easier every time

adosta · 06/28/2010, 07:41 pm

You know, i felt more bad about making yo momma jokes of Leonard's mother. With Sal, i actually laughed with Sammun-mak's comment.

Player_2 · 06/29/2010, 06:08 am

There were only two instances that I've ever felt guilt during a Sam & Max game. The first was telling Yo Mamma jokes to a guy with a dead mother, and the second was getting a friendly, amicable guy like Sal beaten on. His poor, poor thorax.

Neelo · 06/29/2010, 07:24 am

Yeah, I felt really guilty too. I think Sal has managed to get a certain voodoo belt buckle that belonged to a certain undead pirate, since everyone trusted him the instant they saw him.

But should we be trusting him?

Hassat Hunter · 06/29/2010, 02:52 pm

Of course.

But not for Leonard. He cheated, man, HE CHEATED. No way didn't he had it coming.

The Gentleman · 07/02/2010, 08:55 am

The only other time I felt bad in a TTG game was when I stole D'Oro's Pink Pajama Pierre doll in ToMI.
