Telltale Games

Alcoremortis · 06/24/2012, 06:07 pm

Not sure if this game is forgotten or not, but I've only ever met one other person (who was not forced to play it by me) who has played this game.

Truly, this is (to me) pretty much my favorite RPG. It's fairly simple by modern terms (no leveling up, no skills, just very specific equipment-related builds and ship classes), but it was really a game that allowed and encouraged you to do as you liked with no real moral high ground that you had to stick to to get the "best" ending. All the endings were different and distinct, depending on your actions, and even after the game was over, you could continue to play and do whatever you liked.

I probably sunk a couple hundred hours into this game as a kid. And even though I started out with a copy that I had obtained from a friend, I bought another using a month and a half allowance money (which I had to mail to them because I didn't have a credit card) because I wanted the developers to have a sale from the good time I'd had. I can't think of any other game that I went to such lengths to pay for.

your image failed.

Secret Fawful · 06/24/2012, 06:08 pm

It did at first for me, but I can see it now. Also-

Alcoremortis · 06/24/2012, 06:21 pm

Okay, I changed it. Better?

Chyron8472 · 06/24/2012, 06:22 pm

Yep.

This game is great. But it is dead even though there is a Steam group that claims otherwise.

JedExodus · 06/25/2012, 01:30 pm

Did anyone mention it? I really can't be having this game at all.

DAISHI · 06/25/2012, 01:42 pm

Is Myst forgotten?

JedExodus · 06/25/2012, 01:49 pm

Sugar, wrong thread!

I wish it were though!

I adore you.

I loved Myst because it felt like such a foreign and lonely world. I like the idea of being tossed into an existence of no explanation and isolation with many secrets to uncover.

Word.

Secret Fawful · 06/25/2012, 05:19 pm

Oh...The Dig.

DAISHI · 06/25/2012, 05:47 pm

I'm torn on the Dig.

That's fine. I'm not. I think it's bloody fantastic. Also if anyone here dislikes the Dig due to the difficulty, they sure as hell won't enjoy Resonance then. Because holy shit....that game's puzzles.

DAISHI · 06/25/2012, 06:13 pm

It sort of lost me at the Turtle puzzle. But I loved many other parts of it. It's general conception, production, storyline all fascinated me.

What surprised me is that Resonance has a 'super' achievement for decoding the Journal... which is, like, one of the easiest puzzles there. There should be a super achievement for completing the fuse wiring puzzle (in the lab near the beginning) instead.

What I like about Resonance is that it's puzzles really make sense. What I don't like about it is that sometimes even when you know what you've got to do, you can't do it because you need a short term memory or right click instead of a left click on an object and stuff like that... which sometimes annoys me.

I still haven't completed the game. But I can say that it's fun
