yeah i have misgivings about the "character will remember this" prompts because it's hinting at an underlying current that will affect the future when it's been proven that most of those prompts are just there to give a false feeling of consequence and permanence

only major events are remembered and recalled later and that's like, well, yeah, no poo poo you remember me killing a person because i killed a loving person so obviously that colors your perception of me

but you can throw all the shade or compliments you want, and the game will tell you "stucky roberts will remember this!" and it doesn't actually affect anything at all

it's disingenuous story-telling and now i'm done peeing my diaper over this

I've played a load of the Telltale Games, I'm still hoping for a new Puzzle Agent and Vector: Badge of Carnage game though.

It really bums me out that we won't see sam and max season 4 for years if at all. The sad part is even the licensed stuff is slipping quality wise too (walking dead S2 isn't anywhere near as good as the first). It also doesn't help that I don't care at all about Got or borderlands.

I thought it was really well-done. If they were to do it again today, with all the experience they have behind them, I bet it would be even better. The problem with that sort of thing, though, is that the game was following the comic really closely, so there wasn't a lot of interpretation on their part that you see in Wolf Among Us and Walking Dead. If they ever went back to Bone (they won't) I'd much rather see them do an entirely new story. Throw some well-known characters in it to hook in the nerds.

Having said all that Bone is literally 3/4ths of a good comic and then it goes into "uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh gently caress gotta end this somehow MAGIC POWERS the end"

The average is 5.5? I thought it was 4. This is very unsettling.

Unlike a certain other series on it's second season each sam and max season was dramatically better than the last. Strong bad also owned and captured the tone of homestar runner well.



It's pretty much the walking dead's fault telltale is knee deep in this licensed poo poo right? Nobody really had great things to say about bttf or Jurassic park.
