Right now there is The Walking Dead, and The Wolf Among Us. Later there will also be a Game of Thrones, and a Borderlands game. These games are cool and I'm all up to date on all of them.

What did you think about these games?

I think so, and Idk how I'd feel about the GoT one done in their art style.

I thought the Back to the Future game was neat. It's far from their best game, but it was a cute and fun continuation of the franchise. Plus, the kid the got to do the voice of Marty freaking nailed it.

telltale games is cool and they make good games (?) but they have bitten off more than they can chew and it is clear they are not capable of makibg 2 games at once let alone 4 or 5 or whatever their doing now

One finds that this is the best of all possible worlds.
The illusion of free choice in their games is almost as effective as the illusion they are good.

I enjoyed Walking Dead then stopped playing it. I did beat all of Back to The Future though, and I really enjoyed it. It felt like the best of my childhood returned to me.
Also I read and enjoyed Fables until it got all weird political, so I am enjoying Wolf Among Us, although it is possible I also will not beat that one.

maybe but we'd definitely have to up our game on messing with them, the star citizens were easy to gently caress with but the walking deadheads aren't wound nearly as tight

I dunno what makes Wolf Among Us so special to people, but I'm going to just assume like with Walking Dead that it's gamers with poor judgment yet again. I got a bunch of Fables trade paperbacks years ago and have held onto them for whatever reason without reading them and I cracked one open the other day and it's pretty lousy.

Devil's Playhouse was pretty good, at least it's a step up in terms of transparency and actually having game elements.

Telltale and Purcell need to make a deal with Valve, $20 Max hats in the TF2 store. They'd all be rich and I wouldn't have to deal with people begging for my hat.

whenever I play TWD I get the impression that it's written by competent, intelligent people rather than a wannabe movie director reject

so ofcourse it's not a game lol

I really liked TWD Season 1 because I played it right after a break up and I just replaced all the people acting like idiots with my ex.

gunna wait to play season 2 for something good.

The thing about the BTTF ones was that they tried to make them too much like a game with all those lovely action sequences.

if you are obsessing over the logistics of a fictional zombie scenario then that is exactly the trait you need to be an insufferable zombie nerd

I dunno, without the right writers I'm not sure how well that would work.

side note the futurama game is stupid expensive.

played through wolf among us and walking dead with a buddy, was pretty sweet, even though wolf among us got kinda stale after the initial ep. got all the sam & maxes and tales of monkey island when they were 90% off on gog, was gonna dive into sam & max soonish, what I've seen of it so far was pretty cool

oh, was SO disappointed with the walking dead at first. was expecting the greatest game since bottled water with all the awards, but it's really only kinda mediocre-good.
