Telltale Games employees found feeding perfect 10 reviews to Metacritic

[Magic Emperor]

I feel very weird about this. On one hand, yeah, I'm disappointed in those Telltale employees. But at the same time, I think people are making a mountain out of a molehill with this. I feel very conflicted.

[SHODANFreeman]

Pathetic.

Even worse that they didn't even bother sending out review copies. They apparently knew that people would absolutely trash this pile of crap.

Let me know when you're done defending a "game" that amounts to a badly animated straight to DVD sequel that forces you to press buttons for no reason to keep watching it, and costs twice as much as most DVD movies.

That's always been Telltale. EVERY game has repeated animations and movie like quality.

oh c'mon the death scenes were great to watch. That's something. Granted, I wished there were more than just 2 puzzles that made you think. A lot of the reviews were just "Jurassic Park" VS what I hoped for...and not "Jurassic Park by TTG". Always check on who creates your games before jumping in. I do. Anyone who expected much more than this(besides the puzzles I mentioned), doesn't know Telltale and was dreaming.

Telltale is just gonna sink soon, never trust game reviewers. Everyone has an opinion over a game.

Uh, older Telltale games required thought and actual interaction. I have no idea why you would consider this "game" to be anything like the old quality products they made back when they were still considered a game developer.

I already said I wished it was harder for a Telltale game. Do you have another point to make because I was referring to outside criticism which my full post made pretty clear? With keeping the flow and style, it was probably better in this case for it not to be open world, but yes, they still could have used interactions with their camera angle options.

How dare a video game review contain proper grammar and spelling! Black Magic! Witchcraft! Return to the depths of hell from which you came!

Having an investigation based on well-worded reviews is laughable and quite ignorant. It pains me to see that we now reside in a world where good grammar and spelling is treated with suspicion. So disappointing.

Furthermore, I completely agree that Telltale shouldn't have reviewed their own game but it certainly doesn't deserve this exaggerated response; users leaving 0/10 reviews to compensate for the extra positive reviews is childish and unnecessary.

There are many other websites that review games so Metacritic shouldn't be someone's sole option. While I can't speak for anyone else, I tend to look at the reviews from various sites to get a good idea of the game as opposed to putting all my faith in one.

Yes, Telltale made a mistake. Look at another website's review for Jurassic Park: The Game and move on.

Sam and Max was an interactive movie, just like BTTF. All cause JP wants to be in a different direction doesn't mean it's an interactive movie. I'd rather have that then a sandbox like JP:OG, and I loved JP:OG. You can't sandbox Jurassic Park, GMOD is a sandbox, and Jurassic Park doesn't fit it.

I hate the internet more and more each day, proper spelling and grammar? Wow this guy must have made the game.

Sam & Max absolutely was not an interactive movie.

JP:TG is literally just a badly animated movie that has absolutely no meaningful interaction. It's like if you were watching the movie on DVD, and every time it changed scenes it made you press a button at random on your DVD remote, otherwise it would replay the last scene. It's not even close to being a game.

Sam & Max contained actual puzzles, and required thought and logic. You could move around. You had an inventory filled with items to use to solve puzzles. There were in depth dialogue trees.

You didn't just aimlessly click on pointless crap until the next cutscene played. What games did you play? They certainly weren't the same ones I did.

Sam and Max is NOT an interactive movie it's a point and click adventure game,there is a huge difference one requires some form of logic and in interactive movies you just press a button to get to the next scene.

It's not hard to find out names of people who work in games companies.
It's not hard to get a user account under someone else's name.
That's why I'm not convinced.
A couple of fake good *USER* reviews on metacritic? Not really that beneficial.
Constructing a scandal involving a company? Far bigger result.
Follow the money.

Oh okay Mr. Wiseass. My opinion about the game is that I loved the story. WHO GIVES FIVE FUCKS ABOUT THE GAMEPLAY? I loved everything about the game, characters, story, and plot. What if Sam and Max WAS an interactive movie? If you think JP was "bad". Then you might aswell leave, Telltale is going to this direction.

Well I don't. I'd rather play Jurassic Park then an overhyped pile of shit FPS game like Call of Duty and Battlefield.

Telltale just can't get a break with JP, can they?
