Cry Havoc and let slip the Hogs of War
I watched a different playthough of the first three chapters and they seemed alright. I thought David coming back was a nice way to introduce some drama. But holy poo poo, episode four just shits the bed completely. So much has been going wrong in the two parts released so far. It's actually pretty amazing how bad it got. And it's not just choice stuff. It's characterization, dialogue, plot, all of it is just bad. How did Telltale get so bad at this?

All the people at TellTale who were good story tellers left and then they hired new writers who didn't know how to tell good stories, is how they got so bad at this.

They should just make Jesus and Clementine's crazy adventure instead of whatever season 4 was going to be.

HGH
Dec 20, 2011
Season 4 from what I heard is basically Clementine's Baby Quest.
I knew there was no way for a child character to remain likable for long. Pat warming up to Gabe had warning signs all over it that he was going to turn to poo poo.

And speaking of poo poo, Pat went in depth about his Emoji Movie experience in the podcast and now I want a dedicated channel for Pat and Paige's movie sufferthroughs.

Wait, THIS is wet?

I completely had it wrong and thought it was a survival horror game with a strong focus on water physics. I can clearly remember a screenshot from a old magazine of like, a flooded sub nautical area with a fix camera. what the gently caress game was i thinking about this entire time. :psyduck:

Yep, it was totally Hydrophobia. I'm incredibly embarrassed I never stopped to think "wait, they seriously called their water game WET?"

The weirdest thing about Walking Dead to me is that I don't feel like Clem's character has been ruined in any way. She's just... surrounded by bad writing and boring characters. I keep expecting to start to dislike her or something but nah, still good.

The most well written and believable character in this season is that same zombie model that just won't give up.

Clem doesn't really have a personality other then "Child" and eventually "Hardened and also a child." I understand having a fondness for her but she's honestly been super boring since like halfway through Season 2.

Also gently caress Gabe now by the way even Ben wasn't this dumb.

The only reason she's not worse is she's the audience surrogate now, so by necessity she's not really been developed as a character since season 1. And because season 1's writing was (mostly) quite good, she's still riding that inertia.

I think I enjoy Matt's scripted solo stuff a lot more than his unscripted solo stuff. I feel like he does a lot better when he either has someone else to help him fill time, or has a guideline to keep him focused. A little too much rambling on the Bible Black video for me.

Really glad to see more of the "why I like the thing" videos, though.

It doesn't help that BB is as slow paced and boring as any visual novel, so there's a lot of time to fill. Contrast with the NMH playthrough, which was very good.

Not even 3 minutes into the latest episode of Walking Dead, and Pat's righteous rage at Gabe is glorious. :allears:

"What do you want?"
"HOW loving DARE YOU!"

Pat's gonna murder the gently caress out of Gabe like he did Kenny.
Only this time there's less than zero debate to be had.
EDIT: Oh what the gently caress, even David's gone off the deep end now.
Apparently if you don't blow Conrad's brains out he turns out to be a pretty good character up till this episode. I figured he'd have died in that scene.

gently caress's sake, apparently the one time a determinant character actually sticks through, but 99% of players smoke him in an instant.

Turns out he actually lasts the entire season depending on your choices and him being around mellows out the other characters to boot. After all Gabe can't be a poo poo if Conrad's still around.

He's pretty chill even if you yell at him to get out. If you gently caress up a certain QTE Conrad will actively die for you.
