Your whole opinion on the 305 ending. What did you think? (spoilers)
The much talked about ending, what did you think?
I thought it was so-so since well
Kinda messed up ending or not, I still can't wait for season 4 but i'll be damned if Telltale doesn't mention anything about

I wanted Max to come back, but the way he does is just not the way i hoped and expected it would be. I was thinking, when Sam saluted the decapitated Statue of Liberty I though Max would fall in the water (stating he survived the explotion, somehow) and explained what happened back in Skunkape's ship and after that, they would go somewhere to fight crime. But when i saw the time elevator i was huh?... After everything was revealed my first thought was wait... what? Then i just pondered for a few minutes then i guess i just accepted it after 3 minutes of anger & depression.

Eh. I kind of wish that the Adventure ending was the only one, or that we all had the same ending at all, but I guess it was a cute attempt to get people to get the kind of experience at the end that they associate with Sam and Max. "Save Sybil" was pretty deus-ex-y(and not in a "Spontaneous Combustion! How convenient!" way that would have been acceptable), but otherwise I guess the ending hit all the right emotional tones if you wanted to make a Sam and Max film that stops dead now and again to give some weak illusion of interactivity.
I know, right?
To be fair, he DID subsequently
The two ways that came to mind to describe it after it happened were "Bittersweet" and "Warmly Satisfying", but the poll divides them, heh.
Or maybe it was just the fact that I just didnt want to see these games finish here and so Max had to come back somehow...but tbh I'll be happy either way tbh...
What Im wondering now is what they do next...the stories have so far kept ramping up the awesome and the weirdness...how do they top this?
IMO: He did it
There were some really neat puzzles, but all of it wound up being a fair bit simpler than the previous episodes in the series - and Sam's change of accent was pretty jarring for me as well, at least at the start- his voice ended up really nasal and irritating for the most part. I noticed it a little less as the episode went through, but as I had only just played pretty much the rest of the series [got it on pre-order but haven't had a chance really to play it apart from in the last month] the difference was really quite noticeable.
I was sincerely hoping, as the credits rolled, that there would be some kind of sting after them - something would happen to continue the episode on a bit. It was an emotional pre-ending, and I really liked that, but it seemed sort of anticlimactic as there wasn't the final puzzle-slash-boss-slash whatever to be had which we've grown to love from the Sam&Max games (the "You may have missed something" puzzle, I'd already discovered that aaaaages beforehand)
Just that the whole thing felt pretty brief really. Loved the rest of the series, and 305 did have some really great moments, but... I dunno really.
Oh and by the way, the Narrator being evil? (at least, evil-ish) I spotted that in the teaser that popped up when I finished ToMI ^_^
Dammit! I want my Max! Season 4 has so much potential. Can't wait to see a trailer of what Tell Tale's got cookin'.
305 explored more of Sam and Max's relationship and their personalities. It showed that despite all of their freelance shennanigans these guys do have hearts. Sam did everything he could to save Max. And Max returned the favor. But what happens now...?
As for Sam's voice I heard the poor guy had a cold but recorded anyway.
Recall Adventuring is the one affected by picking up Sam Jr. as far as I know.
I just realized I completed 2 seasons in a month...
Overload....O_o
the game design was insane, but the ending i had where
Now i have to play from that part again and see that second ending
What's with this two paths thing? Are there any more puzzles, or is it just minor changes. At what point in the game does the choice come up? I don't really remember, since at the time I thought it was just another pointless dialog tree.
... there's always youtube
i got sad near the end T-T but it was unexpected with the time machine =P and past max too ... i hope they make season 4 =P
Hey have you played season 2 by any chance? Max showing up seemed more planned to me. Like it's part of a bigger scheme.;)
Spoiler tag, just in case.
I couldn't find anything... Help?
Too lazy to play the game all over again... Lazy? Busy, I mean. Horrendously overwhelmed with work in fact.
Just type in sam and max the devil's playhouse ending and set the results to be listed in order by upload date.
It's true that Max loves violence and has an aggressive personality. However, that doesn't mean he's a serial killer like psychopath that wants to see everyone but Sam dead (although even that is iffy, as he wants to drag Sam down with him should he ever die.) True Sam acts as Max's moral guide to keep him in check. Max does try to stick to some type of moral code, focusing his aggression on the villains, although this is slightly corrupted as Max will act on impulses to gain power and he will also lash out at those that annoy him. It should be noted that Max also has a immature, almost cutesy childish side as well, so I will attempt to debunk a few claims about Max's true character.
"Max only teleported away from New York so Sam wouldn't die."
This would seem to contradict when Max claims he would take Sam down with him but then as giant Junior Max he wasn't totally himself. While it's true Max would like to rampage through the city irregardless of being a hulking monster, his love for destruction is more like vandalism than slaughtering everything in his path. Besides, as a member of the Freelance Police he loves saving the day as much as Sam. Max does care for Sam the most but he also gets along with many of the 'neighbor' characters, who have proven to be helpful in past adventures. He idolizes Flint Paper, for example. The Boscos have been helpful on occasion. Gpa Stinky is more of a 'love's to annoy' relationship. And this leads me to my next point.
"Max's change of heart to save Sybil is to far-fetched"
Sybil (an Abe eventually) is another friendly neighbor character. She has proven to be helpful in the past and while Max would pick on her he isn't being openly hostile. Did we forget that he was the minister at their wedding? So I think the odds are high that once monster Max came to his senses he would want to help Sybil once her water broke, since that is an action from Max's characterizations.
It's important to remember that Max does have a softer side, he just doesn't show it the way that Sam does.
So,
I think the absurdity of the resolution counter balances what was getting to be a little too grim of an ending. Any other "he didn't die" ending would have been ho-hum in my opinion.
I think this might be used as the basis to remove Max's Presidential status, though. Which is fine, the joke is a bit old.
