***The Official Telltale Games Thread***

Played the Minecraft one with my five year old, even though it's apparently one of the poorest games they have made do far she loved it so I can't complain, we are eagerly awaiting the next chapter!

That's the only one I haven't got yet, I may still get it even though you make it sound like it's a bit young for a 46 year old fella :eek: I know I'll get it for when the granddkids visit, tum-de-dum-dum
 
I think the quality of the writing is nearly always spot on. That's the only reason I stil play the majority of there stuff.

The lack of any real gameplay has never really bothered me. In fact, I find the majority of the 'puzzles', particularly in 'The Walking Dead' to be completely redundant. Just feels like padding. I'd rather them just focus there efforts tailoring and fine tuning the dialogue options to give each player a more unique experience.

I enjoy graphic novels and have amassed a decent collection over the years including The Walking dead series which I've been buying since book one and it is now on book 25 ( I have only got them up to 22 so far). They're my guilty pleasure and when I learnt of the TV show and the games I was quite excited by the prospect and the Telltale game didn't disappoint, Since then I've bought all there games apart from Minecraft which I will get.
I agree with everything you said.
Maybe it's because I don't treat them like games but as interactive novels, Sometimes I totally miss doing moves and die because I've become engrossed in the story and haven't had to do anything for a minute or two but that's part of the charm. As long as the prices remain below 20 quid a piece and they keep the story as the important element I'll continue to enjoy them.

Absolutely. I do hope they move away from TWD however. They could easily fall into the same trap as the show and just basically copy paste the formula from season to season.

I'd like to see them come up with there own IP. Think that would really test the strength of there writing, having to do there own world building and such.
 
The Wolf Among Us was absolutely fantastic, probably more so because I loved the Fable backstory so much (although I know this was already a comic before TT picked it up, but this game was the first introduction to the story).

I played the Walking dead S1 a long time ago, might get around to season 2 although I think people don't rate it quite as highly...

It would be great if they created there own universe and built it up but that said I am enjoying the romps into the numerous ones they've visited so far.

I think it went well, It's hard to explain what I think because it'd contains spoilers so lets just say it's possible people did not expect certain events and did not like them. But if you can get past them it's fine. I also felt that way at first. :)
 
Also was a big fan of the wolf amongst us.
TWD Ep1 was good, the DLC was meh.
TWD Ep2 was pretty boring and too much on the rails. I didn't feel like my choices made any difference at all (which they dont really in TT games) but the illusion of choice really wasn't that well done.
 
I've enjoyed playing through TWD both seasons, Wolf among us and GOT, not yet played the Minecraft or Borderlands ones.
 
Wolf Among Us was amazing (I then went and read all the comics).
TWD 1 and Borderlands are good too, but didn't feel TWD 2 and GoT.
 
They are more interactive stories than games I would say. I'm on episode 3 of Borderlands and so far its fantastic
 

Already hyped for The Walking Dead 3 :D. They have fast forwarded time as everyone predicted they would, but they haven't gone too far thankfully. I think one of the things that made the first 2 great was that you felt protective over Clem as she was so young and defenceless in such a harsh world. I think they have got a good balance in the new game as she will be able to handle herself, but shes still not quite the massively overdone super badass chick that we already have in many games.


Also played the Tales from the Borderlands recently, which was also great. It amazes me how consistently good their games are, from the serious stories to the more light hearted ones, they all seem to be great. Although I have yet to play the Game of Thrones or Michonne one.
 

Batman episode one releases today 02/08/2016.

Steam pricing:
Pre-order for £17.09

Usual price of £18.99

We get the standard 10% discount for pre-ordering which is pretty pathetic but better than nothing.

Pre-install is not available yet which is a shame but it's episodic so once it starts it won't take long to install the first episode, I can't wait :)

Really enjoyed The Wolf Among Us and Borderlands, work well on tablet. Batman looks intereesting, but how long between episodes, never had to wait for the others.
