If you try to sit down, it means you don't like Max much. ADMIT IT. AD-FUCKING-MIT IT PAL.
As for the whole Max thing, I can only imagine it being used in Season 4 two ways:
- A silly little gag or joke referenced somewhere, not really all that important to the story.
-Or a major plot point involved through-out the season's story. (Though I can't really imagine it being the MAIN focus of a [hopefully to be] Season 4.
Warn the community if you love max!!!!!!!!!!!!
A dream capsule in an intergalactic space ship and the adventure could start there
.... Or i have an idea that would be max and samX journey throughout
Hell to earth for just only 1 or 2 episodes and finally sam and max reunite and stay back at earth while samX and Max X could reunite and time travel. I think telltale must have alot of ideas to comprehend with does options
*facepalm*
That's it, I'm done. GOODBYE FORUMS.
This is a matter for the Sam and Max forums, and also is incredibly spoiler-y.
Go ahead. Don't mind us laughing incessantly behind your back, though.
Trust me, there are MANY people who are checking these forums. Not to mention TTG staff. Don't worry about it.
"No"
Done.
Yeah that about sums up Sam and Max's story doesnt it?
Plus Chuck said that Max has a hive mind so technicaly had the memories of the "original" Max.
Yeah. I might've made things worse now. But, no. What's done is done, ashes to ashes, dust to dust, I'm going to freakin' bed. XD
P.S. - read Jake's comment. Now read it again. Repeat, until concept is grasped. OK, nighty night~
This has been a fake Max all along.
WE'VE BEEN ROBBED
To put a finer point on this at (possibly) my own peril: The One Great Danger threatening Sam and Max's friendship is NOT being replaced with different versions of each other. They're cool with that, because it's all the same to them. And they'd be right. No; it's being separated permanently in whatever guise that may take. No other versions or time travel shenanigans-induced duplicates available to fill in the void for each other's lost partner, ever. That would be the real tragedy, not the dead Max who's probably living (deading?) it up with the dead Sam who needed the company -- that particular company -- anyway.
In short:
Yeah, this. This was perfect.
And also Jake's comment. A hundred times over.
[/delurk]
That's just my opinion of course, but please. There's really no point with freaking out over where the Sam and Maxes we played as were 'real' or 'fake' or not.
Okay, I'll comment on the issue once more. ONCE.
Eight months after first experiencing the final scene of "The Devil's playhouse", I can say that my perspective has shifted a little. I was furious about the ending then - but not because I thought that this madness wasn't along the spirit of Steve Purcell's Sam & Max. And thinking back hard, it probably wasn't even because it broke the spirit of the game series. However, it did break the spirit of the "Devil's Playhouse" specifically.
TTG was striving hard to give us a continuous/meaningful storyline back then, memorable characters with some kind of a backstory and shocking events with lasting effects that were supposed to move you emotionally. I can see now that this was alien to Steve Purcell's comics, where nothing happens to our heroes that isn't rectified in three pages' time and Deus Ex Machina always saves the day.
Max died and came back lots of times, but that wasn't the issue here. The way this happened was very much like Purcell's comics, very much in the spirit of Sam & Max, where the events of yesterday never have any consequences and are thus entirely irrelevant. Sam and Max are invincible by Purcell's command, but after a whole season of showing them vulnerable and in dire distress, I could not accept that all their pain was worth nothing.
The rising protest after the ending was proof that TTG had made a joke at their own expense. All that painful work to make the story emotional and meaningful, then ridiculing their own work by declaring it entirely meaningless to the protagonists. That's the difference between what I thought back then and what I think now; maybe it WAS a brave thing to do. But that doesn't mean I have to like it.
"You should have left max dead"
I just realised that's essentially what I believe
As much as this issues is so being hotly debated in the forums, while I do have my own opinions on Max's death, you strike a lot of valid points here. When I heard Max had died, I was shocked true. I think Telltale was doing that to create a more deeper, emotional story and did a great job of doing so, which I deeply admire. While the ending has been criticized, I think what they did was a good leap into a more darker, realistic world of Sam and Max. Of course, I can't say for sure whether I want this darker side of Sam and Max, but it is interesting to introduce into the plot. :>
This needs to happen.
Except now I like this better:
LOL!
Max: "It's too bad I don't have any unexplainable physic powers again to thwart these goons until they run out of blood!"
Sam: "But Max, didn't having those physic powers cause you to... you know... explode in a fiery ball of destruction that caused over 19 million dollars in property damage and years of emotional trauma that will haunt the dreams of every New York citizen for the next twenty years?"
Max: "I don't remember that, but it sounds like me."
Seriously dude, Max is Max. Why worry about it? It's not like he's going to be any different. If a different Max had died, and "the real Max" had been the one to show up in an alternate Sam's life, he wouldn't have responded any differently then this Max did. You are taking one of the silliest game franchises around way too seriously.
