The wither storm was absolutely terrifying but that and everything else just blended so well into the concepts surrounding Minecraft.

[@GrzegorzSobkowicz]

For me Minecraft: Story Mode had one big flaw, it was *one story.* I watched playthroughs and after that there was no point in playing the game (which I realized after buying it). The game starts the same for everyone, people make different choices only to then either go through the same path with some details changed, or to go through different paths that later meet and go through the same path from there. Since there is only one ending to each episode you don't need to play the game after watching one playthrough.

[@el_mr6439]

Yeah, that was also the problem with most Telltale's games, is a interactive story that is not so interactive

What is so heart breaking is that beneath the big names for the audience pull, there was a dev team really working on passion projects. The Wolf Among Us is such an obscure series for anyone to include. Yes the Fable comics were great, but they didn't have the attention and pull bigger comics or series did. Telltale pulled a really obscure title and made a decent game (the issues with the entire rewriting of the game being ignored). Same with their early titles. As much as I loved the Walking Dead games, the success of it really just put the studio into a stand still of content. It was the same thing over and over with a different skin. I have high hopes for the new Telltale studios and hope some good news can be brought to Minecraft story mode. Despite how much people clowned on it when it came out, it did it's job in being an entertaining play for kids and adults.

Besides Minecraft itself, this is one of the most nostalgic games for me. They were able to create a spin off of the actual game with a story that still perfectly captured the feeling of the original game, and the first season especially showed some of the best aspects and lore of Minecraft. The visuals were extremely well animated but never fully deviated from the original designs of Minecraft. And in the first five or so episodes, seeing the characters traverse through different biomes and lands reminded me so much of how it is to explore the immense world of Minecraft as a player. No matter what anyone says, I will always appreciate this awesome game!

I never got to truly play *Minecraft: Story Mode.* At the time of release, I was still a kid raised by super protective yet supporting parents. I didn't have any money of my own, so the best I could do was to absorb it through KZbin, and I fell in love. You could tell everything was made with love, from the story to every block placed that was meant to create this new world. (My personal favorite episode is The White Pumpkin one, where it's a murder mystery with iconic Minecraft KZbinrs of the time, such as DanTDM, CaptainSparklez, and Stampylongnose/head.) Everything about the game yelled out "We freaking love this game, so we're going to make the best game we can to show it." I also really loved how they incorporated Minecraft's features like the Command Block, Admin privileges, Structure Blocks, and even Different Servers. I only wish people saw what I saw. Seeing M:SM just be forgotten felt so sad, since all of the heart the game exuded was seemingly suddenly just abandoned. I really hope something with the same feel as Story Mode releases to critical acclaim, and can inspire more people to become storytellers in their own right.

This was certainly a huge part of my tweens. The joy I felt when I saw my favorite KZbinrs upload playthroughs of this game was like no other; from PopularMMOs to DanTDM. It took Minecraft and gave it a story (before making theories on it's "hidden" lore was a big thing on YT), and me and so many other people ate it up, made our own stories, tons of fan art, and so on. Now that I'm older, it's much easier to see it as "cringey" and make fun of some poor writing decisions and dated quality, but I still very much enjoy it. It's charming in it's own way and will always be big part of my tween and teens. I also feel I grew with the game in a sense. Especially seeing how the KZbinrs I watched playing it have changed since then... PopularMMOs is no longer an iconic duo, Dan has two kids, RTGame (although I watched him more recently than the rest as an older teen) just got hit with massive age restrictions and may have to leave YT, Technoblade passed away... and so many more.

i loved story mode so much that when i found out that telltales games shut down i was genuinely in tears

[@nosatinnotnow6411]

It’s really sad, I remember when it came out and only watching till episode 2. I just recently remembered though i have it downloaded on my Xbox and I played through 1-8. I never even knew TellTale games even shut down until now, it bummed me out I wasn’t able to play 9-13. But I have hope for the future of Minecraft Story Mode.

I actually really loved Minecraft Story Mode, it was one of my favorite Minecraft games because there’s actually a plot, relatable moments, and simple button presses, instead of just sitting down looking for diamonds hoping there’s no lava or a creeper behind you. Which reminds me, I think Season 3 would be extremely popular if they added a feature called “Hardcore” mode, where if you die, it’s Game Over and you have to start the entire episode over, but the feature is for if you want to play the episode without dying or quitting, with quick reactions to button presses

After I heard the whole part where Steve and the lore was changed, I recollected my personal fanfic I made of minecraft... it's mostly about the Origins mod with hundreds of others, but there were a bunch of kingdoms that were about that certain origin. One of the Easter eggs in that fanfic is that the king of the human origin is Steve. And Alex was the captain of the guards of that zone, And there will be the Canon Herobrine in there too (I'm talking about the one that randomly stalks you in the game, not the one that's like a god)

[@princess_jl_2005]

This game left such an impact on me. I was making fanfictions on it two years after the game ended from 2019- 2021. I still make them privately and no one reads them like they used to two years ago but I still miss all of it. I miss the whole game itself and all the people I met because of it.

[@BenEh30]

I remember I got Season One for one birthday and Season Two for another birthday when I was younger. These games are so nostalgic for me and the state they're in is just sad, I still have my copy of Minecraft Story Mode Season Two and replay it every now and then. I still remember when people were talking about what's gonna happen in Season Two and hoping for a Season Three. Maybe well get a Season Three one day. Extra thing I remember being so hype for some reason when Ivor had a speed potion and he was like "I'm like the wind" and you had to dodge, I don't know why that was so cool to me.

It's quite unfortunate that the Revival of Minecraft didn't give Story Mode a big boost, in my opinion it deserved more, it introduced so many cool concepts, ideas and characters, im sad very few people remember it nowadays.

I remember "playing" the netflix interactive version. I swear, it was just a TV show that you rarely interacted with.

[@merp7174]

Theres a youtuber/twitch streamer called Kwite, maybe you have herd of him, maybe not, but..... he started playing/streaming minecraft story mode as a joke and to make fun of the game as he went along. I watched his journey and the game started growing on him. By the time he beat season 2, he was sad that it was over, and left a final message saying something along the lines of... he really really enjoyed minecraft story mode and if they some how made another season, he would definitely be playing it with open arms. That put a huge smile on my face and i never related to someone more in that moment. i LOVED minecraft story mode, it always bugged me when people like to be harsh on the writing and story or lack of game play. I always thought of tell tales games as movies that you can mess with. Also for the story, can no one have any harmless fun anymore?? people now these days, if a story doesn't have any heavy theming/topics or sicarios that would make your jaw drop, its instantly garbage. I felt this way when I saw thor in theaters with my friends and the movie was just so much fun to watch and we had a blast, or i saw avatar the way of water with my mom and i was so emersed with the world of the nature and enjoyed every second of it, i was just chilling. But to other people, those movies were awful and a waste of your time, i get it, people have different tastes but the standards are just too high, you can see this with gaming as well. But people expecting the same level of writing from the walking dead for a MINECRAFT story, that just boils my blood. I cut tell tale some slack bc how do you write a story thats based off of a sandbox game that has none, not to mention writing branches of outcomes and dialog. I have so much respect for tell tale games knowing how hard this can be to be pulled off, i can't imagine me writing different branches of stories and keeping track of them down the line. I had fun and im glad i was here from the beginning when it first released, i miss those days.....

[@purpledragon1945]

I have found memories of these games even if I never finished them. It's sad to see the premise never went anywhere

[@unicornman147]

I was in the fandom in its heydey. Pretty well known as a fanfic author, too. For me, it was never really the game itself that sucked me in, since the writing is...Not Good. It was a cast of characters that I could easily adapt to different situations and a really good, tight-knit fandom. It took me a while to find a new fandom with the same energy.

[@barrenwanderers5655]

Minecraft Story Mode is my favourite series of all times. I love interactive movie games That said while I love TellTale games they needed to slow down god many releases they had…. I am very grateful that Minecraft Story Mode Season 2 ended with no great mysteries & ended in a way that while a Season 3 would be nice it also wasn’t necessary It was like a great Season Finale in a TV show that also closed up all the loose ends… while another season would be great it’s also not necessary At the end of Season 2 Ep 5 if you choose to stay in Beacontown Radar tells you a bunch of things that close loose end, such as confirming Cassie Rose is still alive

[@deathdancer8756]

This still reminds of how sad it is that they took the game off, i was one of the unlucky ones to not have the game when it was taken off. I did have it previously but i had to do a factory reset on my phone for various reasons and i never was able to get it again. It sucks that the company shut down due to funding and i really liked their games, i only wish that they would've been able to give their games to other companies so that people could still get them. Telltale was definitely one of the best storytelling companies in the business.

[@jogumswallower444]

I loved this game and I genuinely liked the animation style. And some of the characters, including their voices (simp for Petra). It was the game that initially inspired me to write my own story, based in Minecraft world as well. I admit, it was very cringey, but what else would you expect from a 14-15 year old kid with nothing but passion driving him? All of that eventually led me to make more worlds, more settings, more lore. And even though most of those worlds and ideas were scrapped and/or put on hold, I still keep trying, slow and steady. And to think that it all was a result of me discovering Minecraft Story Mode...

[@ladyazura6525]

Something similar happened to me. I installed MCSM a long time ago and even bought the last 3 Portal episodes for the first season, I was in love with the game. Sadly, however, since on my device I had offload data on for apps I hadn’t opened in a while, I forgot to open it for a long time and one day, it’s data was offloaded. Since it was no longer available on the App Store, I permanently lost it. This game was one I held dear to my heart and I still do, I was really sad when I lost it since I had made a dumb choice. But I still have all the precious memories of hours playing and countless screenshots and clips, so I suppose not everything was lost in the end. It’s very sad that this occurred to you, but at least we’ll always have those KZbin videos to immortalize the game. Enjoy watching it all again, trust me when I say this, you won’t regret it. And I recommend trying the other reply’s advice if you can, I hope one day you can get it back, it truly was a great game. I doubt I can since I couldn’t even download it back while I still had the files, but the memories is enough for me. I hope you can get it back, and also, have a good day.
