Why you did that, I don't know, but you did try to make another one in response to mine for some reason.

There is some humor to get out of: "Sorry to squash all the drama, but this was all a harmless misunderstanding" *Drama immediately begins as the other asserts it wasn't a misunderstanding*

Anyone else getting tired of Telltale games? It seems like their puzzles have gotten weaksauce since Sam & Max and the "choices" feel more and more irrelevant to the main plot. Walking Dead was amazing, don't get me wrong, but their reliance on that formula has made it show its cracks.

it's because that format of game can be applied to just about anything because its just a CYOA. like, A Serbian Film: The Telltale Game, or Threads: A Telltale Game

Their 2009 Monkey Island was really bad and unfunny compared to the classic originals but I think it was after I played the first chapter of the Game of Thrones one (which I knew would be a stinker but still bought it) I gave up on those games

Also, how can you do a GoT telltale game?

The GoT game had you playing some minor family that didn't exist in the source material. Telltale hasn't updated their engine in forever and their best writers went off to make Firewatch. The Borderlands game they made was surprisingly alright though, better than the actual Borderlands games have been since the first one.

long-rear end nips Diane posted:Monkey Island was a sequel. Firewatch was the adventure game where you were the depressed, divorced park ranger who lost his wife due to his inability to properly care for her mental degradation, no? How did they deal with the fact that Borderlands is a "shoot-shoot, think later, I have the shiniest meat bicycle" game? Red Metal posted:You're thinking of the Special Edition. Tales of Monkey Island is a sequel made by Telltale. Ah, that makes sense then.

Tales From The Borderlands is Telltale's best game, and this is from someone who's never played the main series.

I would have to strongly disagree with the idea that Telltale's Walking Dead was "amazing". The writing was hamfisted at best, and practically all of the "your choices matter" and "X character will remember this" stuff was just complete dishonest horseshit. The Strong Bad ones were good solely because of the humor.

The sequel was miles better, if only by virtue that you're playing a little girl nobody listens to, so of course none of your decisions matter much.

Okay, so just looked up Tales of Monkey Island and it looks like it was made in 1996, graphics-wise. Those are some awful 3-D graphics. This company is hyper successful?

Telltale's Walking Dead was the one where they have a kid character who isn't handling the apocalypse very well and eventually you just leave her to be killed and the game frames it as being a good thing because she was too weak, and the devs laughed about it in interviews. I guess what I'm saying here is that zombie apocalypse fiction is all horseshit. edit: also Telltale Fuego Fish fucked around with this message at 19:01 on May 5, 2017 |

What hasn't telltale thrown their name on yet? Is there a loving Telltale Jurassic Park I haven't heard of? A goddamn Telltale Minecraft? Are they going to do a Batman one too? How many loving licenses did they buy?

Also, skippygronola's LP of the Minecraft one just makes me wonder "why?" I want to be a fly on the wall at that meeting: "Let's take a game with no story and all about building stuff and make it into a game that is all story with little to no player interaction." Well, at least the latest King's Quest was good (so far, don't spoil: still got a few episodes to go).

The Best Friends did an LP of "Batman: A Telltale Series" and I got tired of that poo poo after like 12/16 episodes (Which, perhaps tellingly, means that the game is 8 hours long) From the first few episodes, I basically summed it up as "they're trying to tell the basic Dark Knight Trilogy story, just in the setting of the Gotham TV show, but with Batman being around (albeit new on the scene)" and then the wheels start to really fall off, from there.

I liked the Fables game, it was good to see a solid story in that setting that Bill Willingham didn't have the chance to poop all over.
