I really enjoyed some of Telltale's previous releases, but I couldn't get more than a few minutes into their Minecraft game. I'm perfectly fine with kid-friendly media like Nintendo/Pixar's output or whatever, and quite liked minecraft itself back when I played during the beta, but Story Mode seemed pretty explicitly geared towards children and nobody else.

In minecraft terms this means burying him in sand and then lighting him on fire so y'know what that's acceptable I'll take it.

edit: In DXHR, those lights are 100% a way forward, by the way. You have to crouch jump on them, which Pat for some reason did not think of doing despite doing it twice less than 2 minutes earlier.

Honestly, because it's good. Tales from the Borderlands is pretty terrible game to LP because it can 100% speak for itself and additional commentary isn't necessary.

Minecraft, however, needs conductors for the trainwreck. :getin:

Like if they have Telltale fatigue they should try playing Tales from the Borderlands not this loving mess that they're gonna burn out on quickly

I'm guessing they'll just die way harder than they died during the Naruto LP, get in the bad zone and poo poo.

It is honestly probably the single worst thing I've seen on the channel. Dangan Child Molester at least was funny in seeing how much they could squirm. This is just loving grating.

Or, you know, stop doing them at all or at least get Matt to freestyle poo poo on them like the end of GoT.

I mean it's not as big of a deal as Ultra Despair Girls, but this LP's heading nowhere fast and I could see it becoming more boring than outright awful.

I feel like maybe they know how bad it is and that's the real reason for the dumpster fire logo, like "this LP doesn't even deserve a custom intro"

They made it seem like they recorded it all in one go. So yeah, probably like 8-10 episodes.

Did any Metal Slug game ever get made like it wasn't on an arcade machine? More than one hit kills, no lives system, etc.

Metal Slug on GBA has a life bar, iirc.

All the numbered games (1 through 7 plus X and XX) are arcade-style games but the earlier handheld games (the two Neo-Geo Pocket games, the GBA game) have lifebars and non-linear elements.

There's also a 3D Metal Slug game for PS2 that was only released in Japan and bought by noone.

HGH

Isn't it also dubbed in English though? So you could theoretically play it as a lovely Game Done Slow one day.
Also I think starting from Metal Slug 6 you can pick Ralf who gets two hitpoints before he dies.

I think the main gimmick of the minecraft storymode is that the 2nd episode plays completely differently depending on your choice in the 1st episode.

No, the main gimmick is that it has "minecraft" in its name.

He also apparently thinks Aretha Franklin is dead so there's a lot of things he doesn't know in that LP. :shrug:

Syndicate 2012 has a mediocre campaign and a loving excellent co-op campaign that blows most 4 player co-op FPSes out of the water.

And an ad campaign that aggressively aped Deus Ex HR.
