Annoyances
I love Sam and Max, but i dont see why game designers have to force intro-credits and end-credits onto the players.
You cant skip the intro-credits at first game launch and you cant skip the end-credits to get to the "bonus" end cutscene.
When you guys are so cool as to make Sam & Max, why do you have to pester us with a forced credits?
Apart from that i loved this episode 203! - Thanks.:)

Of course, I'm not saying the the latter was intentional on Telltale's part but that's how I deal with the waiting when I want to see the bonus endings .
Thats fair enough, but a bad design choise imo. I hope you will reconsider it if you revisit the tool.
That said... yeah I suppose letting you skip them would be acceptable You'll miss shooting the one new thing in the intro each time, and my secret cult messages spelled out in ENIAC punch card on the buildings that scroll by during the closing credits, though.
hah, if you include an ENIAC card reader it would probably earn you a little more time, before the frothing masses devour your souls and feast on your entrails
(Just a note, there's something in every Pirates of the Caribbean movie after the credits.)
*Ahem* What was I saying? Oh, right. Skipping the credits would be fine with me, I'd just never use it. But the intro, I think might be needed for the sake of timing and pacing.
I agree, the intros are allright, but i would like to choose if or when i want to see it or wether i just want to get in the game.
Also, speaking of which, did anybody else think of The Fiddler on the Roof when they heard that last song gradually getting faster? As soon as I heard it, i thought of "Wedding Dance" (the one with the clarinet solo). That might be because the song was burned into me from playing in the pit, though.
I need that song...NOW!!
Back to topic:
The credits did go on for a little while this time, didn't they? Still, not a problem if you've got a book to read or something nearby.
It's interesting to read Jake's comments about having to make the credits last as long as the music submitted. I was wondering why you all listed yourselves two or three times. (Yes, I did read them. I didn't have a book nearby )
Though, I kind of wish there was a reason for shooting all the pictures. It's fun, but there's not much point to it. I keep hoping something will happen when I shoot either Sam, Max or their tires. I'm a sick individual, mind you.
Still, my two favorite times for the opening intros was when I loaded up Season 1, Episode 1 for the first time and Season 2, Episode 1. The former because I leaned back with my hands behind my head while that jazz music started and said "Welcome back, guys. I've missed ya." (long time fan of the old Hit the Road game). The start of Season 2 was similar, because I think I was going through withdraw after buying the set of Season 1.
Its actually the scrolling speed that gets adjusted not the length of the text. Peoples names show up multiple times because a lot of people do many things on the games.
Fortunately for you, I got the cure for that. It's a revolutionary product called Brady Culture's Eye-bo: Ocular fitness.
I might watch the credits, at least if it is a comedy movie, because comedies can sometimes have running gags happening during the credits. But for the intro, I'll watch it if I watch the show on TV, but if I buy the whole season on DVD, I prefer skipping over the intro. On TV shows in general, though, I don't feel a strong urge to see who was playing in this episode.
If you were not going to list them more than one time, you would have to publish a book with a list of all the people who worked on the game and a detailed list of exactly what they did. Nobody would buy that book, and it would give TTG large economical problems, and in the end it all leads to smoking.
imagine if you watched the opening credits of "The Others" on youtube, then rented the movie and fast forwarded through to the first thing after. it wouldn't work as well as it does. the people who've seen it know what I'm talking about.
I think a great option would be to be able to speed up the credits, but that might be just as hard to program as the skipping.
Good call. It's part of the game to go through the intros and credits. It sort of gets you prepared for the game and winds you out of it. Thinking about what's to come or what just happened.
But yeah if you could skip it after the first play that'd be nice incase you want to go back and replay fun parts quickly.
I dont see it can hurt anyone if they enabled everyone to skip intro and credits whenever they want to, those who like them dont skip them and those who get bored can skip them and get to playing faster or get to see the end-end movie faster.
Win/win and noone gets annoyed
I say, watch the credits, get a funny scene.
Skip the credits, miss the scene.
Well said my friend. If you made a game you'd want people to at least watch the credits, if not pay attention.
I'm puzzled why people keep asking for some sort of button, key combo or whatever, to skip the credits when there is one dirty and simple way to get rid of them: Good old ALT+F4.
After all, chances are that when you finish the credits and you are prompted with the main menu, you'll hit "Quit" anyway. And if you want to play again, just launch the episode again.
you get to shoot stuff in the op credits, and you get a great song in the ed credits.
meanwhile, you can rest and think how great you are that you finished it on your own. these quest games arn't just "go and finish", you need to work your brain.
think of it like a movie, you can't skip the credits there.
I don't see why telltale should put a skip option on the credits. they worked hard to bring us sam&max, and we should at least know their names.
people wanna see the "last scene". it's worth the credits usually..
...
"NGGHhh!!!!"
And yes they work hard to give us Sam&Max and i work hard to afford to buy the game.
People who would read the credits will read them anyway, people who wont will eiter be annoyed at having to ALT-F4 to exit the program or they will be annoyed at having to stick around just to see the 10 second end movie.
I never understood why there was ever a need to needlessly annoy the paying customer.
But yeah, I'm one of the few people who seem to actually want to look at credits, to see who worked on something I enjoy.
its the same with me and i also do it with albums including the thank you sections
That I agree with you. I think the issue is we see the same credits every episode so theres nothing much to see..
I will see what i can do about postponing those frothing masses then. Honest!
