Sam, a dog detective, and Max, a chaos-creating rabbit, are back in this remaster of Telltale's first-ever episodic game. This new version of Sam & Max's first season comes with enhanced graphics, new music, and the same goofy sitcom story from 2006 that sees the Freelance Police following a simple vandalism case that leads to a far more sinister plan.

do not buy this censored sjw crap.

How bad is it? The original game came out in 06, that was well before the last few years of craziness.

The og LucasArts title was amazing, but I never did get around to playing any of the subsequent games.

What have they changed/taken out? I haven't read anything about it. Guess I'll go do some searching.

Sam & Max Save The World Remastered Changes Several Jokes That Developers "Were Uncomfortable Including in 2020”

The remaster of Sam & Max Save the World has had several "uncomfortable" jokes censored from its original release by developer Skunkape.

If you give a fuck, I don't think the old jokes are particularly funny so going to play it and buy it if I like it.

Some examples of the changed dialogue. (from the article above)

Original dialogue:

Oh no, the Skinbodies are like Skinheads, but ten times worse!

New dialogue:

Oh no, the Skinbodies are like those horrible hairless cats, but ten times worse!

Original dialogue:

You may call me, Jean-Francois Sissypants, the cowardly French anarchist.

New dialogue:

You may call me, Jean-Francois Bonde-A-Part, the new wave French anarchist.

Original dialogue:

It's 'cause everyone on the internet has to pick an avatar, like a dwarf or an orc or an hot young fifteen-year- old girl curious about the adult world and willing to experiment.

New Dialogue:

It's cause everyone on the internet has to pick an avatar, like a dwarf or an orc or a troll… But we've got enough trolls.

The fuck? They totally butchered it. Cowardly sissypants.

The fuck? They totally butchered it. Cowardly sissypants.

Yea the first one doesnt even make sense anymore (whats wrong with sphinxes?) And the second one isnt even a joke from what i understand of it.

They also completly removed (quoted below) parts of the "New" Bosco scene.

1-"Why the sex change"

Sam: Mind telling us how you came to be a woman?

Max: Did you use lasers, or just do it the old-fashioned way?

Bosco: Are you sassin' me? Boy I'll whup your behind so hard you won't be able to see straight!

Max: But I don't see out of my behind.

Bosco: You will after I get through with you!

2- "How's life as a woman?"

Sam: So how are those BoscoTech breasts holdin' up?

Bosco: Oh, these are all natural, honey.

Max: I'm not gonna lie, I like 'em bosomy.

Bosco: Oh, Max, you take after your father.

Max: Okay, you just crossed the line, pal!

Sam: Easy Max, theoretically, we have even more disturbed people to worry about right now.

oh yes 1000% if you can still buy the 06 og do so its cheaper and its uncut.

wow i take back my its not bad post its bad shit get the og do not support this sjw trash.

 

[ClanOfNone]

Will pass, thanks for the heads up gentlemen.

 

[YCoCg]

Don't forget they also replaced the original voice actors for a few characters with black actors, but gave them zero direction, so Bosco sounds like some young black dude instead of the crazed uncle type he's portrayed as in the original.

 

[rkofan87]

psa if you have steam and you do not want to play with a gamepad you can buy the remaster and get the og uncut game as free dlc.

 

[ShadowNate]

Still a no from me.
I don't need their tweaks for wokeness points in a remaster. Won't support it anywhere I spot it.

 

[Blond]

do not buy this censored sjw crap.

Explain? It was made in 2006 unless they made some changes later on I never heard about.

EDIT: WOW I just read the thread

Imagine caring about the feelings of skinheads lmao

 

[Monado Blade]

The original jokes seem harmless though...? We're not allowed to make fun of skinheads and the french anymore?

You're not allowed to make fun of anyone. If these people ever discover Mel Brooks they'd demand he be in prison.

 

[kiphalfton]

I thought comedy was the last bastion, where "anything goes" and you can talk about whatever you want. Guess not. Maybe I should go back to living under my rock.

The best Telltale series.
