Telltale games

Naoto · May 17, 2015, 09:14:14 PM

Just got the Wolf Among Us plat. Really enjoyed it. I'd tried the Walking Dead on 360 but just couldn't get into it. Zombie fatigue. Seen some of GoT, but it didn't grab me either, and I don't really care for Borderlands. I'm a sucker for noir though. Hyped for season 2. Might even be willing to pay full price this time. Just hope this series doesn't get shafted with all the other stuff they're picking up. Don't expect Minecraft or Jurassic Park to interest me, so it looks like I'm sticking to just Wolf Among Us.

So what are your opinions on telltale games? I know they get a lot of hate for being 'muh movie games'. Got a favorite series?

Uhhh.

~~They made Sonic R. That was fun.~~
No, that was Traveller's Tales, not Telltale... Derp.

~~OH, I didn't know they made Borderlands. That's cool too.~~
No, Comet, they didn't make that EITHER.

WHY do you LIE to me.

Verbatim · May 17, 2015, 09:58:20 PM

'Kay, never mind, I haven't played a single game by them.

That's what I'm saying. I didn't know who the fuck made the original Borderlands. That's why you threw me the fuck off with your vague-ass way of speaking.

He also made "other" an option. If I see an option, and the first word of the title isn't something I recognize, I skip over it, because I already know I haven't played any games with "Tales" at the beginning, ever, so there was no need to read the rest.

its ok if you're embarrassed but please for the love of god stop editing your shit. it gives me a notification every time, and you're up to 7.

Allow me to continue, then.

Apparently, it's bad to further extrapolate your point.

Also, embarrassed of what? The only thing that's embarrassing is the fact that you--YOU--are a mod.

I'll have to watch a lets play for Tales then. I've just completely ignored it tbh.

they've got great intro music, which is common for the Borderlands IP. i kinda want the next episode to come out so i have a new song to listen to.

It has one of the best intros I've ever seen in a game.

Movies, games, who gives a shit? Pretty much every Telltale game has difficult choices and characters who you actually get attached to. That's far better than any modern AAA game.

OT: Probably TWD S2. Love me some badass Clementine.

Doctor Doom · May 17, 2015, 10:51:35 PM

The Wolf Among Us is the correct answer.

alphy · May 17, 2015, 11:07:10 PM

twd is my fav, i guess... although i've only played 2 of their series, twd and wolf among us

cant wait for the 3rd season of twd, im preoccupying myself with life is strange in the mean time

Girl of Mystery · May 17, 2015, 11:55:57 PM

The Wolf Among Us is easily my favourite.
Tales from the Borderlands is actually really good too.
TWD season 1 is great. TWD season 2 is good, but not quite as good as season 1.
GoT is good, but it's definitely their weakest series.

big dog · May 18, 2015, 01:37:29 AM

Tales from the Borderlands is quite possibly Telltale's best work. Not sure if I like it or TWD more.
The Walking Dead Season 1 is incredible but there are some slow parts (the fucking train in episode 3) and Season 2 is great aside from episode 4 and some of episode 3. The episodes for Season 2 work well on their own but as a season they don't quite hold together so well.
The Wolf Among Us is good. Not fussed either way whether it gets a second season or not.
Game of Thrones is enjoyable but a step down for Telltale.

Also the intro to Tales from the Borderlands episode 2 is the best thing to happen in a game.

A Cheese Potato · May 18, 2015, 01:41:43 AM

The only one I've played is the Game of Thrones one, the others don't really interest me enough to get them

Jono · May 18, 2015, 01:42:25 AM

Telltale Minecraft is gonna be the greatest thing ever just you guys wait

Coco · May 18, 2015, 01:43:27 AM

I've only played a bit of the Walking Dead. I don't doubt that they're amazing storytellers, and I do recognize them as games, but I don't think the story justifies GOTY when it's weak in just about every other field, unless the choice was between it and some rehashed FPS.

The point and click game genre is older than you.

Just bought and finished episode one of Tales of the Borderlands. Wow, damn good. Slow build but ended up really taking off. Think I still like Wolf Among Us just a bit more, but gg on the recommendation. Was super long too.
