RobThanatos Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Yeah they could but the whole point of telltale games is you only play them once because they don't offer the choice itself it's mostly the illusion of choice but if you only play it once you won't know that the choices on their games are actually minimal but the game tricks you into thinking you have control over it That's not the whole point to their games. The fake choices were their way of trying to give their game replay-ability, and really that's what any developer wants for their game. That's also why they give you multiple endings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrumpetOfDojima Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 A lot of people have complained about how lackluster the minecraft game is.blahblah opinions though. I only buy them when they're on sale for the entire seasons. too much money otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazeh54 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 The only criticism I have with Telltale, is their release schedule. That's why I wait for the games to be fully complete. I play them for the story and I love every one that I have played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manuelito Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 They aren't bad but I ain't buy them for more than 5€. Not worth more than that IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlareXV Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I was playing through tales from borderlands and game of thrones first episodes that was free to download on the psn store. Lots of people complain and throw hissy fits about games like terminator salvation or magus, but really these are much much worse. u do the minimum and get a gold/platinum trophy. I agree they are not bad games, but most people are playing them for the very easy trophies and not the story. Because Telltale games design their games to have stronger storytelling rather than stronger game-play. That is also why the Minecraft: SM isn't as popular as their old games. Magus and Terminator:S are designed to have good game-play but they fall short on this feat and that's why people complain. One company values storytelling and does it good while the other two value game-play over storytelling and does it bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koori504 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Why hate? They are doing good story games. Their games are fun to play regardless of their easy platinum trophies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humonic Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 "Because they are good"... yeah buddy it's subjective. I don't like the games, I find them all to be the same thing and all to be unfathomably boring. Terminator or Magus aren't "cheaper" either, I actually like playing term salvation lol. Played it through like 10 times, TWD; not so much. Telltale games aren't called "cheap" because the majority of people who've played them have enjoyed them. Bu they're absolutely cheap, if any one calls you cheap for having term salvation but doesn't call you cheap for having TWD just block them with the ignore feature. You don't need to know people that bloody stupid exist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Ookami Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) I do believe there is a hate on them being episodic with a*month where a \in (1,9) delays between them. Enough hate for the thread? Edited October 29, 2015 by Satoshi Ookami Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azariaspice Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 All the games I've played (Jurassic Park, Back to the Future, Sam & Max, Game of Thrones, Walking Dead) are all relatively easy to get all trophies/platinum in. Saying most people play for the platinum isn't really fair though. Game of Thrones actually flows into the TV series, so a lot of people play that to fill the void between the previous season and the next. There is definitely some hate for their games though. Personally I despise their piss-poor graphics. Considering most of their games don't even involve moving a lot of the time their graphics could easily be high quality and better detailed. And you must not have heard of how awful Jurassic Park was. That game was just terrible and most people did not like it. I bought it on sale extremely cheap, I think like $2 honestly, for some easy trophies. Thankfully I avoided the many freezing issues it has. Overall people just enjoy the story though, despite the graphics and little gameplay. The model of putting out new games every few months also builds some anticipation. If you're playing for the trophies alone you're looking at a platinum that will take around a year to complete if you start from launch. If you don't enjoy the story you'll get bored incredibly easily, making the platinum a less-than-enjoyable one. They aren't the best games though in terms of quality, so I don't see how you miss out on the hate that is certainly there. Those saying that there is no hate because they're great are a bit deluded, every game has people that hate it for one reason or another. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Weight Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 What I don't like about TT games is the performance issues when playing. I didn't notice it in BttF or TWD but it was really noticeable in GoT and borderlands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timey77 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Why should I hate a game just because it'll give me an easy plat? When it comes to storytelling Telltale actually does a hell of a great job, a far better one than most other developers nowadays do. You could, of course, disagree, but seeing that you don't I wonder if the simple fact that a plat comes easy pisses you off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damon8r351 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Hmm...that there's people out there that might have an opinion on the stuff I play? Concerning news, give me some time to proc- no I still don't care. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caesar Clown Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Believe it, some people do play them for the story. That's why I played The Walking Dead games. That's also why I don't play any of the others because I'm not interested in Game of Thrones or that Fables one.. Or Minecraft. I might get Tales from the Borderlands later though since I like the games. Sure, some people get them for the trophies, but not everyone does that.

NICK16_06 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Telltalle games are great experiences, maybe choices are not as open as they make them out to be, but the stories are really well thought and they use the world of every franchise really well.

I've mentioned the same in many of my Amazon reviews. But I actually enjoy the development of the stories for the most part. I think that the ballyhooed choice factor is overstated (and at times, non-existent, at least for Walking Dead games). But I still enjoyed the general production. To each his own, I guess... "Telltale Games will remember that." Good retort! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raitandrul Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Seems like the one who played this game for trophies was you! You're the only one who sees a reason to hate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beyondthegrave07 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Honestly, I couldn't care less what people play and why. Also, I don't know why others do care so much either. People enjoy games for different reasons. Some people just enjoy games for earning trophies. I'm not one of those persons, but I can at least understand why.

SarDarniTron Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Don't get me wrong, I love their modern grim games and TFTB will be great fun so far. But in terms of minute-by-minute entertainment, I remember loving every point of TWD and Games Of Throne. The style, humour, gameplay and emotional rollercoaster-ness was Telltale at their peak.
