Telltale, please commit mass suicide

>Characters from the show getting shoehorned in constantly for marketing's sake
>Arthur gets tortured to death at Ironrath, even though I fucking brought him along to Highpoint
>Duncan betrays me because I didn't pick him as Sentinel, even though I usually listened to him over Royland
>Have to either kill off Asher as soon as he gets to Westeros, or kill off Rodrik just as he gets over his injuries, which would both be considered shitty fucking deaths if it wasn't for the "lol hard choice"
>Everything I did as Mira doesn't even fucking matter, it's all a shaggy dog story and she just gets killed inconsequentially
>Ser Twenty Goodmen bullshit with Rodrik just sneaking into the Whitehill camp past the drunk, blind, ADHD soldiers and just fucking killing the lord
>The North Grove is absolutely fucking nothing, Gregor's warg bastard son and witch bastard daughter got sent there to protect it because it's the North Grove and must be protected (bruh)
>The six damn episodes I spent fortifying Ironrath don't even matter, the Whitehills burn it to the ground anyway
>"its not a fairytale its games of throne what do you expect? there are no happy endings and erryone dies xD"

I'm mad as fuck that I was dumb enough to buy this.

and yet you played every episode

>I'm mad as fuck that I was dumb enough to buy this.
Wait, wait, wait. Didn't you see anything about their walking dead games?

Asher and Beskha Brotp was worth it

in a few years people will realize this is harry potter for adults, aka badly written garbage that shines in your eyes because it's new to you.
Witcher is a good contender too, but it never had popular success to begin with so it's not as bad.

> Telltale obviously favours Game of Thrones over Borderlands
> Complete with Game of Thrones both getting more episodes and more frequent releases
> Game of Thrones turns out to be shit
> Borderlands turns out to be great
What did they mean by this?

Also, in my opinion one of the reasons this game sucked so much is too many protagonists. Two is more than enough. Three is asking for trouble. But they went for five.

The first episode of every tell tale game is free. You had ample opportunity to see what kind of game it was at that point but your dumbass impulse bought the bundle.

Nothing wrong with Harry Potter. Or game of thrones. Fiction should be entertainment and both of that se are entertaining books.

When is Walking Dead Season 3 coming out Jesus Christ Telltale

It's not even a game.

Those*

Fiction can be good and entertaining.
See most other fiction authors.
A bad writer is a bad writer.
Their work reads like shit forever and their grammar ruins any intellectual florishing and teaches more shitty kids how to write like shit.
So yes, there's well written fiction and then there's pop shit not even a book really like Fabio shit and whatnot.

It just means telltale literally struggles with grand stories. They're much better with simple and limited stories they can tell without having to cross reference a whole bunch of shit.

>not even a book really
Man am I glad I don't browse /lit/. Nobody reads books anymore in the first place. Just enjoy what ever books you find entertaining and get on with your life.

I preferred Game of Thrones over Memelands and Walking Dead Season 2

Having to choose between Roderick and Asher and having Mira live or die has the potential to dramatically change future seasons for individual players.

>has the potential to dramatically change future seasons for individual players
This is still Telltale we're talking about. I'd bet hard money on the Kenny/Jane choice being totally fucking irrelevant.

Really, GoT's biggest problem is that it was released back-to-back with the Borderlands game.

Not really, Witcher's problem is that you can't divorce it from Slav origins without losing much of what makes it great. English is horrendous. Not in a sense it's a BAD translation, but in that it becomes a completely generic fantasy novel when you omit all the things you couldn't directly translate.

But you don't like the STORY?

Having done my run recently due to starting on a new platform for the Walking Dead telltale series, I bet bottom dollar it will mean squat and not in the usual hating Telltale way. 5 or 6 times I had my choices changed for no reason by glitches or some other crap. The end of my 400 days I had a character vote to go then only for it to tell me at the end they stayed. I can't trust any choices sticking with them. Not when their engine periodically just "oops" my choices and shit into nothing.

And having played through 400 days before I know it amounts to squat with the ones who choose to go, but its the principal of the thing and helps illustrate my point.

GET SCAMMED LOL

I liked it. You bring up some valid points, but it really did capture the world and atmosphere, and it's set up for season 2 in a way that I have high hopes a lot of the frustration will pay off. Your house will help Jon Snow take back the North, and you'll definitely get some revenge

>Also, in my opinion one of the reasons this game sucked so much is too many protagonists.
Telltale really brought this upon themselves because even a cursory analysis of the television show/book series would reveal that this is the major problem plaguing both. The Game of Thrones plot moves at a glacial pace because so many different character arcs and narratives are opened up concurrently. I'm really not happy about the dual-player character structure of Walking Dead S3 but Telltale managed to make it work with Borderlands so I'll hope for the best.

I liked the first half of it for the same reasons you did, it's just the ending that made me mad.

You should know by now Telltale don't make true adventure games anymore, but glorified railroaded movies.

And one small thing: it takes Asher about 3 days to get from Meereen to White Harbour, and Rodrik's always talking about how Asher should be back "any day now" with sellswords, as if he just went to another kingdom, but Meereen is a long, fucking LONG way away. Like, from Britain to India long.

Telltale's been hiring a ton of people lately, in key positions too. Wonder if the ship is sinking or they just bit off more than they can chew.

>Telltale
>Choice

user it's your fault for not researching. They give you the illusion of choice but none of it matters.

Actually the first few books that came out way back in the nineties were above average gritty fantasy stuff. I've never seen the TV show but I do remember Song of ice and fire.

Game of Thrones: trope breaking story about how the "good guys" don't win, going so far as to deconstruct the concept of "good guys" in general

Harry Potter: classic story of a Hero's Journey in the Campbellian sense in which a young man chosen by fate comes of age and defeats the evil wizard Jumpfromdeath written in the style of 7 mystery books


Yeah, and in a few years you might realise that you are full of shit and that this analogy is on the level of food analogies.

Telltale (((games))) are shit.

More news at 11.

Harry Potter is trash but it is written for young adults. It's basically a Western LN.

Fuck you Sam and max is great

well, he did spend money on it

I'm not OP but you don't really find out how truly shit it is (and it is shit for mostly the reasons OP mentioned plus a few more) until the last episode when nothing comes to a meaningful headway. Last Telltale game I'll ever buy that's for sure.

What you are saying is true of Harry Potter but not really Game of Thrones. GRRM is an experienced and well read author which is why his fantasy work is far above standard fair.

I dropped the game as soon as I came back from the Whitehill castle to find Bolton inside my throne room unmaking what little progress it took about 3/4ths of the game to achieve for no particular reason.

It's not particularly any more linear or bereft of choice than any other Telltale game, but at least in Wolf and Tales you get to be a primary agent on driving the story forward.

For all of my time with Game of Thrones all I felt my choices amounting to was "Do you want to be facing left or right as this boot stomps your head into the stones for all eternity?"

If a game like this doesn't care at all about my agency why would I bother playing the damn thing?

What did you expect from the cross of a terribly written book series and a mediocre adventure game developer?

>It's basically a Western LN.
Damn that's pretty accurate.

glad I pirated this shit, hope they don't fuck up TWAU S2 but judging by recent events everything telltale is going into the trash

>hope they don't fuck up TWAU S2

Do you know something that I don't?

nah, I'm just assuming they're going there eventually

With their lineup of capeshit and other pleb IPs...I find it very doubtful they'll ever manage to return to it

I've read something that attributes the rise of school based LNs to HP once

Has anyone played Batman? How is it?

>falling for telltale
They've been doing this shit since the first Walking Dead game. Just read the books if you want to be in the universe.

>Telltale game
>Every scene will have two characters with polar opposite views on something, neither of them are willing to back down or come to a compromise.
>Disagree with one of them and they "will remember this" with that fucking telltale facial expression, agree with the other one and they are your friend, but you better agree with them from now on or they will dump your ass.

>Has anyone played Batman? How is it?

Normal, not horrible but not very good either

It's not my favourite telltale game, but I do love their ballsyness for changing Batman's origin story so much, it's really refreshing. It's interesting enough that I look forward to future episodes

>but I do love their ballsyness for changing Batman's origin story so much
Please, do tell

The Waynes family was actually horrible, for example

I liked TWAU and that was the only Telltale series I'd "played" until Batman and holy shit is it garbage.
It just feels like such a chore to spend time in their version of that world.

You forgot
>Doesn't let you join Stannis

desu it did have some nice moments. Shame it went to shit so quickly. I also liked some the subtle book references in it (The sons of Valaryia or whatever you call them having purple eyes.)
Also Rodrik was objectively the best path. Prove me wrong. Protip you can't.

Based Rodrik the Broken!

still mad that you can't force yourself on Beskha when shes having a PTSD attack

I pirated the first few episodes and drooped it harder than my girls ass hits my dick. NOTHING YOU DO REALLY MATTERS U ONLY GET TO PICK WHO DIES AT THE END OF EVERY EPISODE. IN THE FIRST ONE YOU CANT EVEN PICK THE LITTLE BOY DIES WHATEVER YOU DO OR SAY HOW IS THAT ROLEPLAYING FFS

Playing as his child brother would have been more interesting to be honest.

This post is cancer and underaged

Rodrik was a broken fucking man. Asher was the only choice.

>Also Rodrik was objectively the best path
I just felt compelled to let Asher live because it was so fucking preposterous building up Asher's return for five episodes and then he dies thirty seconds after hitting the shore. Didn't even play the next episode because I was so baffled at this scenario.

>Asher is going to bring back a mercenary army to help save his house

>it's like 8 people

Did they really not give a fuck about the sense of scale at all?

Telltales engine is fucking shit. Thats why you can never have more than 10 people per scene.

Telltale is a shit company.

But each fighter is as valuable as 100 men. So technically they outnumbered the enemy.
