Poker Night at the Inventory (seriously, read this before dismissing the game)

[Sabre]

Giant Bomb has a 20 minute video of it. As expected, the gameplay is just poker.

That no name git is from the Penny Arcade Comics, almost any gamer knows about these comics

I guess then I am not a 'true gamer'.

If you read my previous posts on the matter, you will know I think that the whole game is selling on the name value only. That had the exact same game been released with different names no one would care, and it would rightly be dismissed. Because they have the rights to these characters though, it's being talked about as if it's the best game ever made ever.

I know.

I was just lolololing on something you said.

Of course, selling a 'standardtemplate' game is uncool.

Even if it has famous characters on it.

Yeah, yeah, casual game.

But what makes this one special?

1. The Heavy from TF2

2. Strong Bad from Homestar Runner

3. Max from Sam & Max

4. Tycho from Penny Arcade

This is made by Telltale Games, whom I have yet to play a game from them I didn't enjoy. Yeah, it's another poker game, but this game will undoubtedly have some funny moments, given the mannerisms and personalities of these characters. An interview at PAX states that this game will have A LOT of dialogue. More than a Sam & Max episode, which are talkie games in their own right.

It's currently available for pre-order on Steam for less than $5, so it's worth checking out. Methinks it will be lol-worthy, if not for nothing other than the likely huge new library of funny Heavy quotes. I can totally see him putting on the KGB and making fun of Strong Bad XD.

The 2D characters, Tycho and Strong Bad, do look a little out-of-place in the 3D environment, but meh. Max and the Heavy are 3D, I'm guessing they're using Valve's Heavy model and the Max model from Devil's Toybox

wish you could use you gmod playermodels.

If you read correctly, I said ALMOST ANY gamer, I never said true......

Oh well :D

[Guest Mr. Mario]

You should have preordered it

[Guest Mr. Mario]

You should have preordered it

But I did though...

[FoxMcCloud]

But I did though...

Oh

Then your downloading it :P

[Guest Mr. Mario]

Oh

Then your downloading it

And I'm playing it now!  :cool:

The game is definitely worth the $5. The dialog is great, though Tycho did bring his potty-mouth with him. The four letter words are bleeped by default, though that can be disabled.

Cameos by Sam, Flint Paper, and Pom Pom are there. Winslow from Telltale's Monkey Island game is the host.

I was sort of expecting the Medic or Scout from TF2 to make a cameo, I guess I didn't see any of them.....yet.
