Daikatana Ritsu posted:Tales from the Borderlands sounds impossible to be good and yet it is. Kinda bummed about this even tho most of their games were mediocre to diarrhea dog shits. Dontnod kind of ate their lunch in the chill feelsy narrative game genre, so at least I still have that.... for now Have you played Before The Storm yet? I was apprehensive about it because it's from a different team but I finished the first chapter the other night and it was great, even tho I'm not crazy about Rachel's character . High hopes for LIS2

elf help book posted:TOXIC MANAGEMENT COST AN AWARD-WINNING GAME STUDIO ITS BEST DEVELOPERS Everything i've read on twitter and reddit from employees laid off today makes it sound like the new CEO was actually a huge improvement, surprisingly, but they were just too deep in the hole at that point for anything to make a difference. Like it was his call for them to switch to a new engine staring with The Wolf Among Us 2 and also he pushed development on their own original IPs to get out of licensing he'll

super sweet best pal posted:That drop in players between Walking Dead seasons is massive. It's only a hunch but i'm betting some games like Minecraft Story Mode (which was apparently their only big financial success since TWD season 1) sold a ton of copies to kids playing on iPads and consoles and stuff and that the Steam stats aren't a very good metric. Going by more shaky anonymous source stuff I've read it sounds like Batman and Guardian of the Galaxy were the 2 licenses that really totaled the company where they never saw enough sales to recoup anything beyond their licensing costs and like literally made no money from them. I haven't played it but apparently Batman is one of the better games Telltale ever did, too, with lots of legitimate branching paths and ways to shape the story

I played all those games as a child + the sierra ones and it probably made me insane. Space Quest 1 had a cool thing where if you get caught by some random alien chasing you who tries to kiss you in the first zone of the game, much later, about 5 minutes from the end of the game, a Xenomorph chestburster pops out of your body and kills you and you basically have to play the whole game over if you want to see the ending

mysterious loyall X posted:if you knew ANYTihing you know that's classic sierra logic especially kings quest 5 style. lucasarts games were generally much less obtuse for the most part although they did have some egregious ones too liek THE DIG which starts off with a musicpuzzle iirc. gently caress you The Dig puzzle where you have to put the skeleton back together completely broke me mentally and spiritually as a kid and I never recovered

Anyway Indiana Jones & The Curse of Atlantis by Lucasarts is probably the old adventure game that holds up the best just because it has multiple puzzle solutions and ways to fight or talk your way out of situations where you can't solve the puzzle

mysterious loyall X posted:i'm pretty sure i gave up on it at the music puzzle 10 minutes into the gamesince those are always the worst I don't even remember that. I stopped playing because my mom made me uninstall it because there's some mini game where when you lose the VO says "drat. drat. Double drat!" and that was too much for her
