Poker Night at the Inventory

For those who don't know, Its a poker game that stars 3 characters from different video games
-Max from Sam and Max
-Strong Bad from the Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People Wiiware games
-The Heavy from Team Fortress 2
and a guy called Tycho from a webcomic

and a guy called Tycho from a webcomic

I see. Great. Can someone troll him for me? I'm feeling tired.

You are incorrect. Tycho has appeared as a prominent character in at least two games prior to this. And it's not so much a Poker game as it is "Listen to them talk and get more pointless TF2 crap".

-Strong Bad from the Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People Wiiware games

Of course. That's exactly what Strong Bad is from. You are so on the ball here.

And a deliberate Straight man character named Tycho from pretty much the most successful and generally well-liked webcomic ever.

Fixed that for you. Kids these days.

so if you've got it. what do you think of it?

I think Telltale did a shitty job programming it and at least 70% of the people who bought it did so just for some pointless TF2 unlocks. Additionally, the in-game conversation doesn't really flow well and there are graphical glitches and other shitnanigans abound.

Lucky for me I am OWF's charity case and had it lovingly donated to me by Meech.

And as my reward Kastere has saved me in the nick of time from buying it myself.

Well sorry for not knowing where Tycho comes from. god i'm such a bad person :fuzemb:

Just out of interest, did it not occur to you to check before telling other people about the game?

This is Crashpunk we're talking about.

So, putting aside the characters from previous games, it's a poker game?

I'll give a review now without playing (or needing to play) the game; it's a fucking poker game, it'll play like the rest.

Nope. Real Poker games are actually rather in depth. This one has extremely poor poker mechanics and the AI is laughable.

They actually updated it and fixed some things earlier, so I don't know if anything has changed, but it's still a waste; go play Super Meat Boy or something that's actually good.

It did but I couldn't be arsed. :D

and I have to agree. the AI is terrible.

Pretty tacky game if you ask me. I don't expect much more from a 2 dollar game though, so it's ok I suppose.
