was i the only one who found the message the cops gave to be omnious " we no longer offer car upgrades" im getting the vibe we may not see them next episode :eek:
I wouldn't be so sure. First, they tell you they don't do upgrades anymore, and then they give you a bunch of decals and a hot rod paint job! Either they're schizophrenic, or they're pathological liars. Either way, I wouldn't expect them to stop now.
On the other hand, I'm not sure if they can cram another ten decals on the back of the car...

If you talk to them long enough, you get the implied information that they don't have upgrades for this episode outside of the decals because all their efforts were put into the super antenna. So chances are between now and the next episode there will be an upgrade that will change the Desoto besides a new paint job.

I'm still waiting on the return of the Rat Gat.
Also they spend all their money in devolping the antenna. Thats why they ask you to market SOL to the zombies. As you did that, they will get new money and therefore new upgrades next month.
don't forget that in each Episode they say there are no more upgrades but then
they say we do have something. (and there is alot of room for more Decals on
Desoto)
I play adventures to avoid arcade sequences. And I think that in adventure games at least, to prevent the player from seeing the complete game experience (including bonus content) unless he or she has good reflexes is a cardinal sin.
It doesn't matter whether such content is required to finish the game or not. As long as I have to sit down and try 100 times to pass a single arcade level, then it's ridiculous.
the arcade scenes aren't that hard. i finished gold level on the first try and didn't even move the car...and i have the reflexes of a...don't know...brick wall or something. you need to relax more, don't think of it as a chore. besides, playing a few tries of some driving game is nothing compared to what some console games make you do for bonus content..
you know... i have to wonder, what happened to the ability to skip mini games? everyone remembers back in bone 1, how you could skip the chase sequences... why dont they do something like that for sam and max?
i find the driving games fun, and a great waste of time... but i dunno, having an option to skip the game after a few failed tries to may not be a bad thing
For those that would like some tips for driving in 203:
The real trick with the driving game this time out is that you need to keep moving. Staying in one spot and trying to nail all of the zombies isn't the way to go about it. For this one you need to make sure the Desoto is always going to be right next to the next zombie without running it over. This way when it passes the car Max can just nail it right in the gut. I found the left side of the street to be the best area to do it.

The first round of the mini-game -- the only round you need to complete to advance the story -- is easily completable by everybody, though. In Bone we found that wasn't always the case.
it looks like the driving is back in 205 get rdy for the ultimate and final decals!!!
What makes you say that, the Gametap trailer? I think perhaps that was just in there as a filler, and not an indication that there will be driving this episode. Then again, I could be wrong.
Duck Decal - shoot the giant duck the looms over the left side of the screen
Flying Car Decal - Shoot the flying car that flys down the middle of the road
Soccer Ball Decal - Shoot the bouncing soccer ball (comes from the right side of the screen, very difficult)
Doughnut Decal - Shoot the doughnut that rolls across the road (comes from right to left)
Rat Decal (3 levels) complete the 3 levels of the demon rat shooting game
reward for getting all decals in episode - demon grill for desoto
Reward for getting EVERYTHING in season 2 for the desoto -
flashing police lights for the desoto
(requires all 5 stickers and reward prizes from episodes one, two, three, and five)
PS so the final decal count was 20, final prize count... 5, and it also seems that the episode 5 rewards are also stored in the registry, so the desoto of season 3 will probably have all the goodies from season 2 when you begin it
I doubt it, all the decals may be put in the office, but the prizes may be still on the car
and it'll continue with the Decal earning and more prizes on the car
Somehow I lost my decals between eps 3 and 5... it made me very sad, seeing as I had collected them all.
*Edit* Oh yeah, I did a full reformat a few months back... that would explain it. I should have loaded up an old ep 3 save before playing through 4 and 5.

mini games they're to much fun.....except for 203's Driving

I am quite looking forward to the Desoto looking absolutely ridiculous
(by this I mean I have gotten all the decals up through 203)
can't wait for 204!
One can only hope.
Because you WANT them to be true, on some level, and there's no ready and obvious means by which to prove that they AREN'T true.
are you kidding?! please don't be kidding
The Gold Blaster was definitely the hardest decal I've had to get. Barely pulled it off at the last second.
there is no 204 decal
...And how about that car upgrade for all the decals? Best. Car horn. Ever.
Check this out! Even Jake hasn't found the secret decals!
I'm with TrogLlama on this one. It was probably easier than the silver one!
Really? Hmm. Maybe I was doing something wrong. =/
I guess I'll have to play through it again.
That there is dev speak for there are a 100 decals in 204.
It's just really hard to see them all since when you leave the driving game you can't go to the street and click on the back end of the DeSoto.
