Who is sticking with Telltale?
 
I haven't seen a thread like this, so I thought I'd make it my first one!

Well, we know The Walking Dead has brought a lot of new players to Telltale Games. I myself played Bone out from Boneville a long time ago, and hadn't remembered it was a Telltale game until I started The Walking Dead, so I still consider myself new to TTG. So for the other players who are new to the Telltale experience, a poll:
Will you play any upcoming Telltale games?
I know that for some people, the wait between episodes was a deal breaker, but I found that I really enjoyed the episodic gaming, and I really liked their writing, so I will give their future games a try!
What are your thoughts?

Season 2 of TWD is already on my wishlist for sure.

puzzlebox 11/27/2012 02:40 pm

Eh, why not... guess I'll stick around for a while. :p

Icedhope 11/27/2012 02:44 pm

Maybe.

I'll gladly play the Daryl and Merle game from Interactive, but TTG's gotten its last of my game dollars. This was a decent interactive comic, and a lot of its success or failure was going to come down to the ending. TTG simply blew it, there.

The ending was a hopeless bungle. Lee's great sacrifice is no sacrifice at all. First, it's unimaginable that Clem, if she even survives the city (and recall that we forgot to, you know, actually tell her how to find Omid and Christa--oops!), won't be forever haunted by the image of zombie Lee chained to a radiator in a windowless room for all eternity. The big deal he makes, that she shouldn't shoot him, is horribly, horribly misguided. Putting down someone before they turn is extremely cathartic. It was a point of honor and pride and closure for Carl to put down Lori in the tv series. In the game it completely spoils the whole ending. Clem doesn't get that closure.

Second, are you kidding me? We're left with no cutscene, no reunion with Omid and Christa where we see Clem finally escape? It's clear that TTG badly rushed the entire episode, recycling locations and so on, but this was the worst sort of failure. It played exactly as though the developer simply hit the wall of a deadline and had to quit without finishing.

Of course, TTG is one of my favorite game companies. :)

Bcroft 11/27/2012 02:52 pm

I'm gunna say yea, but thats just going to be the walking dead series

Zeruis 11/27/2012 03:02 pm

Came because of TWD, stayed for comedic games. :p Seriously, I'd give anything for S+M season 4. Or at least another Bone...

DreadMagus 11/27/2012 03:19 pm

I'm not going anywhere.

But, I'm not getting anything other than The Walking Dead.

I'm just not an adventure gamer.

Well, not this kind of adventure gamer.

This would be a better poll if it happened before episode 5 came out. Most people that won't come back have already left the forums.

Master of Aeons 11/27/2012 03:48 pm

No tears were shed over that. As for me, I've been here longer than this franchise. I'll stay a good long time more.

* Telltale will remember that.

cheeto1621 11/27/2012 03:56 pm

good game!
 
I definitely can not wait for season 2! Kinda wish that lee could of lived... :(

The Walking Dead wasn't my first game from Telltale, but it's definitely my favourite. If Fables or some of their other games will turn out to have branching choices and consequences based on player input, a main character whose personality you can determine (to some extent), etc., in the vein of The Walking Dead (the setting wouldn't have to be as dark as TWD, but I don't think a comical one like Sam & Max would work too well in this case either), then I'd probably be very interested. Otherwise I'll just stick to the Walking Dead for the time being.

You might say that old-school adventure games are rare, but I think the interactive story type of games that I or others share an interest in, such as those made by Quantic Dream tend to be even rarer.

I lol'd

I've been a fan of TTG since the beginning. No way am I jumping ship now, especially after this fantastic game.

True! I just realized; I haven't seen the teenage girl that seemed in constant need of a Midol and a nap post in a while.

Gotta see that new forum first.

Any idea when that will be?

With me it all depends on what their next game is. I don't really have an interest in Jurasic Park, or Back To The Future. I would buy another game from Telltale, if it was in a world that I found interesting. I think they would do well with A Game Of Thrones (the rpg that came out this summer is pretty much not worth playing). Either way, they've proven to me that they can make a great game.
