It's not so much that we're forgetting to be thankful as it's that we have nothing to be thankful about with this game: I paid $25 dollars for a game I think is shit, and just barely managed to suffer through the first episode. I'm still thankful about Bone, Strong Bad, Sam & Max, Tales and Puzzle Agent though.

Oh well I guess you made a bad decision, you'll probably make many more

The majority of players thought the game was pretty good. Why do you think they offered the first episode for free. I suppose you should have waited huh?

The thing is pre-ordering from Telltale used to be a safe bet. Now it obviously isn't anymore. What bugs a lot of us is that Telltale wasn't very transparent about what kind of game they were making when the game was open for pre-ordering. Now I don't trust Telltale like I used to, and will of course wait in the future, but I don't see how we were supposed to know beforehand with this title.

Who needs puzzles? I've enjoyed the Lucasarts Adventures as much as anyone but the easy/non-existant difficulty has not at all ruined this game for me. This was an excellent story with an incredible attention to detail and very faithful to the movies. I'm not sure I like the ending, but I'm not letting 1 minute that feels a little cheesy ruin the hours of fun I had.
So... it's in the thread title: Thank you Telltale!

No matter how good a game is, there is always going to be critics. People that wanted it a certain way. Some wanted tougher puzzles, some wanted more time travel, someone wanted it a first person shooter ha! All in all, they did a damn good job and we got a lot of play out of 25 bucks. This was a character driven story and I think of it more as an interactive movie then a mind bending game.

I have to say i loved the ending as a callback to the end of the first movie.

I can't believe people are criticizing this game. I mean, I guess maybe you could be arguing that it wasn't difficult in terms of puzzles and even if you got stuck you had a lot of hints to help you along, but as someone who is a big fan of Back To The Future, I loved this game. I was wary in the beginning even though I love Telltale's games because it was just such a huge property and a big part of my childhood, and I didn't know how what is basically a fourth (and fifth, really) movie would be done justice. And it was done justice, far beyond my wildest dreams. It was exciting, interesting, and the story made sense and was very respectful to continuity and to the characters. There were moments where I felt like I was watching another BTTF movie, and that's how it should feel. It told a great story and I had fun working my way through it.

No, there were no brainteasers (although I did get stuck out of impatience at a couple points), and I guess if you were looking for a really challenging game, then maybe it wasn't what you wanted, but that's just it. It didn't let arbitrary puzzles get in the way of the story they were trying to tell (for the most part). I dunno, I think it's hard to walk the fine line between a game that challenges players consistently but tells a cohesive and cinematic story without getting either weird or unnecessary, and I feel Telltale has (and always has) done the best they could. I applaud this game and I hope for a second season ASAP.

I enjoyed it.. great ending and it tied things together nicely.

Thanks Telltale!

[Revan]

Thank you for a great game.

Hope for more in the FUTURE

[VF1SValkyrie]

To everyone at Telltale: Thank you! I loved playing this game, and I look forward to another.

[Lynxy]

What can i say ? THANKS ! i really enjoyed going BttF !

Puzzles could be harder, but please bring a second Episode. You really catched
the feeling from the movies.

THANKS ! THANKS ! THANKS !

[daeva0123]

Very sad now that its the end of the series, but its been a great ride. Well done to the TellTale Team, Bob Gale and all the voice actors involved. You recaptured the feeling I had watching those movies back when I was a kid, Thank You!

Now, create a storyline as good as that follows on from the crazy as f*** ending in episode 5 and that will be truly impressive!

Exactly, it's Telltale's responsibility to give us proper information about the games they're selling. They can't just expect us to blindly pay for a pre-order when they won't even release basic information. That's what pisses me off the most, they way they hyped BTTF up to be such an awesome game.

Great game, Telltale. MORE.

(But after Sam and Max new season pls )

[axeman82]

Thank you telltale, this was a very fun game and very entertaining. The story was great and was at times like watching a fourth movie. I can honestly say it was worth every penny that i spent on the pc and ps3 versions. Can't wait for more and would love to see a retail release for the game for ps3 maybe with some extra content and even an option to watch it as a movie in a theatre mode or something. Either way, Great job guys and keep em coming.

[imqqmi]

Thank you Telltale for a job well done, and thanks to Michael J Fox and of course the entire cast and crew working on it! I greatly enjoyed the twists in the plot, the old McFly coming in every so often MJF really lifted the spirit of the game up quite a few notches.
My favorite part was getting Edna to remember and the scene where you had to hook up edna's Delorian to Docs. You TTG guys totally put your heart and soul into it!

Still laughing about the end LOL!

Keep up the good work!

[The Gentleman]

I agree.

Best episode.

[stein810]

Just wanted to let everyone know, especially the team that made this work of art, that what a awesome game that has been created!!! I am a devoted back to the future follower and felt that they developers nailed it right on the head with this one!! What an awesome job!!!!!!!!!!!

[WareKurt]

Sure, it could have been better as some people say. Proper bug checks, areas which look larger and better explorable, some kind of free roam with Delorean etc. But still I don't regret playing this. Thank you.

[CountDuckula]

It's nice to see a positive thread to thank the team for a job well done.

The writing, dialogue and voice acting were all superb, and did the franchise proud IMO.
I quite liked the visual style although I guess I can see why others would not. The textures could have been a bit higher res in parts (eg in the nice panning shots of the time-worn Delorian at Ednas when Hill Valley ceased to exist) but other than that I was pleased with the look.

I hope the 'to be continued....' at the end of episode 5 was more than a throwback to the film.
If the next season was to be similar to the first I would be very happy, although I'd love more numerous and difficult puzzles (thanks for letting us turn the hint system off at least, and I understand it was made easier to be more approachable to non adventure game fans).
