Are You Getting Sick of the Telltale Games?

It's like the same game over and over again. Can gamers get something new?

I felt like Telltale played it a little safe with the first two episodes of A New Frontier. It follows a very similar structure to the other titles, and it felt like the choices didn't matter that much.

I did like The Wolf Among Us though - I felt the story really carried that one.

Honestly the only game I haven't liked from TellTale has been Game of Thrones.

It could be because I only end up paying like $5 per game. They're infamous for putting their games on sale before all the episodes even release.

I haven't played Walking Dead 3 or Michonne yet. Just finished Batman two days ago and found it enjoyable, but the glitches are so frustrating. The games aren't demanding. There is no reason my ps4 pro should drop frames or, worse yet, have the game crash.

I'll continue buying their games at bargain price. I bought Walking Dead Season 1 and had to wait like a year for all the episodes, meanwhile the game was consistently on sale. From that purchase forward I vowed... Day 1, never again.

Jon_Targaryen2760d ago

Agreed. Batman has crashed numberoous times on me. And I am only at chapter 2. Their games arent optimised great at all.

Takwin2760d ago

Since I only buy them once they are all out, so I can play them in one day, they can all be had for $15 max. I still wait a bit further until they are less than $10, then I'll get them, sometimes reluctantly.

agent45322760d ago

I am still waiting for season 2 of "The Wolf Among Us". By far the best story of all Telltale games in my opinion.

-Foxtrot2760d ago

They have the same structure in every game and no one seems to bat an eyelid, especially in reviews

They use big franchises to draw in existing fanbases because they know if they doing something original, from the ground up, they'll be called out on their on going flaws.

They don't even push the genre forward. Least with games like Until Dawn and Heavy Rain they bent the rules on the genre a little.

Takwin2760d ago

Until Dawn and Life is Strange dominate this sub-genre with quality and replayability. I adored both of those games. Heavy Rain was good and unique, but had more flaws.

Mikerob20072761d ago

they make too many games at one time so you end up waiting forever for the rest to release. But i personally think the walking dead season 3 is way better than the first two seasons. But wolf among us is the best telltale game. Not in the slight bit interested in the upcoming guardians of the galaxy.

SaveFerris2761d ago

So long as these games continue to sell and Telltale is happy to make them then we will likely see more. It is up to the the developer if they decide to try something different.

bluefox7552760d ago

Nah. My problem with Telltale isn't the format, it's the inconsistency in quality. For every great Walking Dead and Tales From the Borderlands, there's a mediocre Game of Thrones and Minecraft Story Mode.

TXIDarkAvenger2760d ago (Edited 2760d ago )

Honestly, I only buy them when all the episodes are released and I see review scores. So I don't really feel sick of their games yet.

I do wish choices mattered more though.

Is the industry hurting for money or not?

Hofstaderman1d 7h ago

They belong to XBOX. Its a dog's life....

Chocoburger1d 7h ago

Nice thing they did, but not actually gaming related, not sure why this article was approved. Also strange informing us what game Rare worked on, as if we don't know their legacy.

Tacoboto1d 6h ago

Sorry you hate dog news - here's a game-related headline for you, the latest: "Deathsprint 66 is a hyperviolent freerunner that proves game journos suck at games | Video Gamer"

Yeah we need more headlines like *that* on this site, instead of news about a studio's employee perks.

GaboonViper1d 6h ago

Its actually nice to see a story like this instead of the usual doom and gloom but people still moan, anyhow hope these beautiful doggos have a great life.

Really nice story, kudos to Rare.

I went to look at new apartments and saw only dog parks, no kid parks. We're so screwed.

Damn was hoping for a fantasy setting. Looks futuristic

jznrpg1d 9h ago (Edited 1d 9h ago )

I think that’s a screensaver if you look to the right it looks more like a fantasy game and so does the concept art leaked earlier. Who knows though

phoenixwing11h ago

Unless that structure/pillar thingy in the right picture is long forgotten technology it's futuristic.

Name Last Name1d 10h ago (Edited 1d 10h ago )

Another shooter? Yawn. Thought the prevous concept looked more fantasy.

just_looken20h ago

With there same look on the right a arena setting this might be live service game #5 from sony

So a live service shooter like concord.....

StormSnooper19h ago

It looks like a fantasy game on the right screen. You are looking at a screensaver.

Goodguy011d 10h ago

Been looking forward to what they have next. Looks interesting.

Eonjay1d 10h ago

Really excited to see them release an original IP

GaboonViper1d 6h ago

Looks like my dream of them remaking Metal Gear Solid is over, still cant wait to see what they are cooking up.

Unions in gaming are necessary fr fr

montebristo1d 8h ago

I used to be anti-union, it kills productivity, investment and turns product mediocre. Their games suck anyways though so what was lost? Might as well get their people paid until they are dissolved.

shinoff21831d 8h ago

Unions are necessary regardless of how you feel. You know how fked the working class would be without them. As if we're not already.

montebristo1d 7h ago

No they aren’t, regardless of how you feel. Unions make zero sense for skill based labor. They are for people who press a button every 10 seconds on an assembly line. “working class” is a made up term. I don’t care about corporations or developers, I just want good games lol. Killing your incentives to appease the lowest common denominator doesn’t lead to great games imo

montebristo1d 1h ago (Edited 1d 1h ago )

I wasn’t trying to be offensive if I came off that way. The Union is an old mentality and I can see their usefulness but also the danger. We’re in the age of AI and robots and skill based labor. Unions can be dangerous these days. You could replace your entire workforce in one move. Checkmate. Look to the kiosk replacing workers in the 20 dollar minimum wage era.

Well run businesses don’t need unions. If you need a Union that business won’t survive anyway. Unless it’s propped up by the government with corporate welfare (which is the real issue). If you’re not going to spend some on your workers (Amazon, Google) then your welfare is cut off. No tax breaks. All you put together don’t match their wealth and resources, the union is a traditional memory at this point and counterproductive with this new enemy we face. They need a flying elbow from the top ropes. And by “working class is a made up term” I just mean we’re not a class system and even CEO Bobby Kotick puts in a days work lol. Or did.. It’s just a vague term that doesn’t mean anything no offense lol. People say “middle class” but that can change quick right? Up or down. That’s not a “class system”.
