I'd say my top 4 characters I like to play against are Susie, Corrin, Chell, and Koneko. I especially like how they interact with each other. Maybe it is because of the characters, I like them more. As a diversion or break from heavier games Poker Night at the Inventory works wonders.I really like this one, possibly more than the newer version. The banter is genuinely funny and it’s still weird to see characters from so far and wide come together for a game. But the price of entry is low enough that you easily get your money worth here. If Telltale were trying to justify a higher price point when the same package it’d be a tough sell no doubt.
#POKER NIGHT AT THE INVENTORY HOW TO#
Also, the game will show you the rules of Hold-Em but not really how to play, so don’t expect to learn strategy or anything here. You can unlock new table and card graphics, but those are just cosmetic changes. After you win or lose you can play again against the same characters. You play a Texas Hold-Em tournament against those 4 characters. It’s a good thing this is a budget title at only $4.99 since there’s nothing outside the one single game mode. Luckily I’ve played about 3 hours worth and while the short quips of raising and folding have repeated none of the stories have yet… so far. In that respect the game has a sort of built in shelf date with players. The stories are funny to be sure, but that’s not going to be the case after you’ve heard it 10 times. The major problem with Telltale hanging their hat on the table banter is that once it starts to recycle itself it’ll get old fast.
#POKER NIGHT AT THE INVENTORY MOVIE#
Each of their unique personalities shine through when they’re speaking and more than a few times I caught myself laughing out loud, like when the Russian heavy machine gunner said his favorite movie was “the first 20 minutes of Rocky IV.” They range from short quips when checking or raising to long stories between multiple characters that may last an entire hand. The dialogue from these four is heavy and varied. Obviously the big draw here are the characters that join you at the poker table, since listening to them banter on is what makes the game worth playing. Then there’s the Heavy Machine Gunner from the uber popular squad-based 1st person shooter Team Fortress 2 from Valve Software. Sitting to his left is Strongbad, the lucha-mask wearing character from the Homestar Runner online comic. In a recent interview the developer said the game had four programmers and five lawyers, which isn’t hard to believe.įirst we have Max, the “rabbity-thing” from the Sam and Max adventure games. And not only from the Telltale universe either. Especially when bundled with the cast of characters you play against, which come from all over the place. Telltale certainly garnered a lot of “huh?” looks when they first announced Poker Night at the Inventory.
With those 7 cards you’re hoping to have the best 5 card hand at the table. This is followed up by two more rounds where only 1 card is dealt face up in the middle of the table, followed by 2 more rounds of betting (the turn & the river). Then, 3 cards are laid face up in the middle of the table that everyone uses (the flop) with another round of betting. In Texas Hold-Em each player is dealt two cards face down and there’s a round of betting. Poker Night at the Inventory is a budget title where you play Texas Hold-Em style poker. So it was a bit of a surprise when they announced that their next game was going to be… poker? They’ve brought us back old stalwarts like Sam & Max and Monkey Island, as well as new properties like the Strongbad’s Games for Attractive People. Telltale Games have made something of a name for themselves for successfully resurrecting the old point and click adventure games. Telltale poker mash-up well worth the budget price point.
