Telltale is Developing a Game of Thrones Game

£22 for 2.5 hours gameplay seems like a really bad deal

Way too linear. All this 'your decisions determine the story' is garbage.

Choose a different dialogue choice and it's just a rehash of the other option. Say nothing and someone else will spew the same sentence for you.

At best they'll be a few instances where you'll make a decision and that choice you make will unravel in the next episode, but it will be a minor scene at most.

All the main events end up the same no matter what choice you make.

This. It's always been the problem with Telltale games, they give you the illusion of choice, but really it's only the minor events that you can alter. Anything crucial to the story will play out a certain way regardless of the choice you make.

The other major problem that this is going to have is that characters from the TV show are going to be invincible. The end of the first episode was a perfect example of this.

I cannot imagine GoT making a good adventure game. And tbh, I found Telltale's TWD to be over-rated. It lurched from incredibly simple and easy to (later on) instant death for not reading the designers mind ("Oh, I'm supposed to click the screen each time she says that? Would never have figured that out. Thanks, Google.")

No mention of nudity? Damnit, I don't watch GoT for anything but the muff and tackle. No sale.

So you watch it for both?

Well you're an open minded fellow.

Well that's not really true...

It will be around 12 hours all in by the time all 6 episodes are released plus if you buy direct with Telltale you'll get it for the $ price which works out around £16.99

So now that a few more folks have probs played it, is it worth the ££?

I enjoyed TWD, but never played Wolf Among Us by the same makers.

Welp. I gambled on this and turns out, it's actually really good

Finding it much more enjoyable than TWD series. The same illusion of choice is there, as in choosing dialogue A, dialogue B or dialogue C all lead to event A, but it's always been a story to me rather than a game.

I'd definitely recommend playing The Wolf Among Us. I bought it when it first came out and it completely gripped me. The themes are darker and more adult than TWD.

Well I bought this as it was on sale on steam. I love ASOIAF and GOT and I really enjoyed the first episode of this, but not really because it was a good game, it is even more of a semi-interactive story than TWD has been. I might be wrong but I didn't feel any choice I made in the game made any difference to what happened afterwards or might happen in the future.

I've enjoyed all the telltale games I've played. Including Tales from the Borderlands. But for some reason I'm massively underwhelmed by this, may be a mix of its slow story telling, terrible story, and the excitement I had when I found out telltale were making a game based on one of my favorite TV series that's actually turned out to be way below what I expected.
