I loved Walking Dead 1 & 2 on Vita but sadly my system no longer works so I rebought on ps4.. Started replaying just hadn’t finished yet.. Also got several in the collection I hadn’t really gotten to yet although I did try em out.. Most recently picked up The Expanse around the holidays.. It’s a good style.. BTW I’m old enough to remember the Scholastic Wizware games from the 80’s.. Kinda the TT of that time

Feels like a bad omission to not mention the Telltale: Stranger Things game or the new engine that was in development with it. Many ex-employees said that the aforementioned was supposed to be the savior of the company, and that The Walking Dead Final Season and Minecraft Story Mode Season Two were just supposed to keep the company afloat long enough to finish those projects.

The only really top selling game they made was walking dead season 1. They got stretched super thin with tons of other games like borderlands, Minecraft, Batman, game of thrones, and wolf among us, plus all the later seasons of walking dead. None of which sold particularly well and that was that. I personally loved wolf among us and am sad a season 2 never happened.

Why telltale games died? Here is my personal experience and explanation. I was a huge fan of telltale games and bought „tales from the borderlands season 1“ day 1 to download and play episode 1. Do you know when episode 2 was released? 4 MONTHS LATER!!! And episode 3? Another 3 months after that!! After 7 months the game was on sale for less than half the price I originally paid for and it was still not a complete game. I was absolutely pissed and vowed to never play a telltale game until all of the episodes have been released

TWD was definitely a confluence of things all coming together. You mentioned the story and the choices. While there was some of the "pixel hunter" aspects from older games, putting yourself into Lee's shoes really sucked you in to his actual actions. There was tension of running from zombies, beating them down before they bit you, etc. Feeling terrible about deaths just added that emotional investment. But above all else...Clementine. One of the best characters ever written in my opinion. The build up of your emotional investment, watching over her, seeing her grow, then finally getting to be in her shoes and help guide her. By the time the series was over, she was one of those video game characters I simply fell in love with.

Clementine was a fantastic supporting character for Lee. But after he was gone she just didn't hold up on her own. Personally I think it was because Lee was essentially a blank slate for the player to fill and decide who he was. But Clementine had her own characterisation before we got to play as her, and that just doesn't give the same "in the characters shoes" feeling as a blank slate character does.

My experience of what happened was the infamous “(character) will remember that” first it makes you think oh I gotta get on this person’s good side or oh no my favorite character is gonna be torn up by a important decision I made. Nope, none of that ever mattered. They never programmed enough detail for that even matter. The closest thing was in Minecraft story mode episode one where one character if you’re actively mean to them the entire time will smugly dismiss you and move onto a different group at the end of the episode. Realizing that was the only time that mechanic ever mattered really sours the experience of the games.

It will have zero influence on his outcome. If you think that is enough for decisions to matter, then your mind would be blown playing games where decisions actually DO matter.

It dampen my mood on playing later chapters and ultimately i didn't bother playing other telltale : the walking dead games.

The problem is - there was never a real choice in their games. They kept sticking to the diamond formula - all the choices lead to the same outcome. The first WD nailed it because it was innovative at time, so people didn't notice the problem much. But with each next game the key issue was a lack of real choice. Telltale became notoriously famous for that. And that's why I never played anything but the first 2 seasons of WD.

The telltale style of games meant that yes you can make choices but 90% of their games all end the same with little different details occasionally. A character in TWDG dies whether or not their hand is chopped off and while that ending was very sad and impactful, it showed that the choices were merely an illusion. I love TWDG and while I haven't played their other games, I want to some day but I know for a while I was a huge fan of TWDG without ever playing it because I would watch let's plays.

A big part of what caused Telltale to blow up was just the timing of the right game, the right IP, at the height of The Walking Dead’s popularity, and Wolf Among Us was something new and interesting with meaningful story choices and good writing. I think the problems really started when they expanded. The drop in quality and frequency of releases, combined with the episodic releases and cheaper complete editions led to a buyers culture of “meh, I’ll get to it when it’s finished”, or “I’ll hold out for {insert IP}”. Like don’t forget Netflix and the culture of binge watching really blew up from 2013-2016, so people weren’t really into the TV style episodes and just wanted the whole thing. If they’d have followed a model like Actvision with Call of Duty, rotating teams working on annual releases to give each team more time to write and build the game, if they’d have seen the culture of consuming media changing and started doing bulk season releases, rather than drip feeding content. Imagine what that could have looked like. One team working on Walking Dead, and another team working on new IPs, finding what could be the next long term cash cow. 2012 Walking Dead, 2013 Wolf, 2014 TWD S2, 2015 Borderlands, 2016 TWD S3, 2017 Game of Thrones, 2018 Stranger Things, 2019 Wolf S2. That doesn’t even require much moving around of dates from when they released (or planned to release).

The branching story paths were always illusions though, and it just got more and more obvious. You would chose which character to save in the moment, and then an episode or two later that saved character would die anyway after completely fading from the story because it would have been a lot of work to remake all those different paths. By season 2 of TWD, they just took care of that kind of thing in the same episode. The girl from season 2 can be saved for all of like fifteen minutes before they kill her off anyway. Probably another symptom of the devs being spread so thin.

Telltale games would be infinitely better if they didn’t pretend they’re something they’re not, they’re fixed narratives with some choice based features, but ultimately your choices don’t drastically change the experience, not much more than any other story game. I love a lot of them as stories and if they just embraced what they were they could’ve continued to write great narratives

My opinion: I really, really liked the Walking Dead season 1 (Telltale), it was really good and when I finished playing it myself, I watched 5 different KZbinrs finish it, too. The problem was that it felt kind of cheaty with how some things were in flux, like some characters were basically doomed to die. However, I still enjoyed the story and didn't mind. I played the second game and I started feeling the same thing, I started "feeling" and "somewhat knowing" when things didn't matter, when the pacing was fake and when I was being set up for a thing I couldn't change. Doesn't matter, I enjoyed the story. Then came Tales of the Borderlands; my god I loved this game, all the way up to Episode 4. I got to the point where a certain someone tries to become a certain someone, and I just said: "Fine, the way I've played the game - this is basically the best outcome for both of us, and also I feel bad for the certain someone." And the game wouldn't let me, the game - no matter what I picked - went against what I wanted and after several reloads I learned that this "certain someone" never was save-able and there was nothing I could do to change this. The moment that ended, it was a huge showdown and whatnot, but I wouldn't have it, I was so disgruntled that I put down my controller and said: "Nothing beyond this point matter, this isn't happening in the story I was playing." And then the most insane shit happened... The Game started doing the inputs for me. Yes, if you leave the controller, if you just don't do the quick time events, the game will just start doing them for you - spamming the button to grab onto a ledge? The game just pauses, nothing happens - at several points the green bar would just fill itself and I didn't need to do anything. And that's when it happened, I realized that my choices truly didn't matter and if the game wanted to, neither did me manually pressing the buttons, all this time I had just been watching a script unfold and my choices meant nothing. I know some games do this, right - Call of Duty ends the same no matter what you do - but this was a game ABOUT choices and just realizing that this is the absolute end to a game - I started seeing it everywhere. When the last Walking Dead game came out, I could see the lies, the branching paths that were actually just a single road, "button prompts to save yourself" - it was all a fucking lie and I'd rather watch a movie at that point.

I think that's more so your expectation rather than anything else. The tagline was always "the story is tailored by your choices." Tailored being the optimal word. You don't go into a tailer with a shirt and come out with a suit. Tailors make small fixes and adjustments to existing items. Not create brand new things. Your choices changed how characters felt about you, not what ending you got. Even before I played any of their games, I knew making a branching narrative is extremely hard so I wasn't expecting that in a few gigabyte game. And so I wasn't disappointed because I wasn't expecting an unrealistic scenario.

Problem with Telltale was that choices didn't actually matter that much. It would alter a story a bit but that's all. Plus some things just didn't make sense. Like in Walking Dead 2 an 11 year old girl being a "leader" and the brain of the group of adults. It's ridiculous to think that during a literal zombie apocalypse adults will be looking at a child for guidance.. On top of that they were releasing games that were not yet finished and people had to wait months for one episode to drop.

The best Telltale game is, Tales from the Borderlands, one of the rushed ones, if you ask me. And the reason why The Walking Dead sequel games weren't working out anymore, was that the TV show itself was in a freefall decline.

I think the current biggest issue people find with Telltale is that they say your choices create the story, but that isn't that true Your choices affect the flavor text later on, but for the plot? Which is the story? Not really, usually People especially found this problem egregious with TWD Season two's ending The idea was so fascinating How would the story be different from these three vastly different settings? How would they continue it? Will Clem meet new people for each of these paths? Does the story branch out like crazy now? So many high expectations And then people were disappointed that Telltale just made each setting for each ending result in the same way The people Clem decide to stay with dies, she runs, she's alone, continue story People were really excited to see where their choices will take them And then the continuation happened and we were all disappointed that they went thr route of "lazy writing" It's too much to make multiple different settings and in the same vein, multiple different storylines Nah, let's just clunkily force an unstoppable conflict to make all the endings branch back to one outcome again, so we only have to make one storyline It's really lazy and highly disappointing considering telltale is advertised that your choices really do matter And it just doesn't They might as well have made a basic visual novel and almost nothing of value would be lost Season 1 is still great though, but that's more of a better overall writing than the Telltale formula actually being good

people don’t really gravitate towards choice games i feel… and everyone in the comments bitching don’t understand how truly difficult it would be to make a multi season game and have all the story lines be different, i 100% agree that i think it’d be cool and wish it was a possibility but considering how much time and money already go into these games it would just take so much time… and there was once a huge demand for these games keep in mind! from what i remember my choice do “matter” at the end of TWD Michonne because it was a one season game, and they “mattered” in the last season of TWDG because it was the end (until Tilly Walden’s disgrace of a comic Clementine came out which I don’t consider cannon at all) if my choices “mattered” at the end of season 2 i would have been thrilled that kenny lived and i was with him in season 3 but it didn’t happen, i was upset yes but still played the games because i love them and the storylines they have are amazing, also side note *SPOILERS* if lee didn’t die in season 1 the game wouldn’t have NEARLY as big of an impact on the people who played and watched gameplays, i wish he wouldn’t have died either but that’s the thing about great story telling, it’s real and it’s emotional

I began my KZbin channel around the time the second Walking Dead season was in development. The first season was my first lets play and it got a lot of view despite my poor streaming quality. I wouldn't have gotten that far if it weren't for Telltale games. I do want to play more of their games in the future like season 2 of The Wolf Among Us, maybe a season 3 of Minecraft Story Mode and Batman as well. I even liked their Guardians of the Galaxy game even when most people didn't.

I thoroughly enjoyed all telltale games with the only exception being Batman.

Really? I played the batman games just a couple yrs ago and quite liked them, they acc reminded me of why I enjoyed telltale games when I was younger. I also found them ti not be as linear as some of the previous TT games

This video is so good. Played Twd and after the release of batman lost interest and jumped to The dark pictures anthology.

You describe Sam&Max and Tales of Monkey Island as sort of mediocre stale games. No, they're pretty good; i mean sure they're mostly running gags but that's a feature, not a bug. What they aren't though is mass market, they only ever had niche appeal. The "formula" games that came out after Walking Dead also have different spins on the formula. Comedic titles such as Tales of Borderlands and Guardians of the Galaxy do not put you in front of actual life and death situations, they merely give you branching story paths culminating in different sets of jokes; and the countdown timer input mechanic, while mechanically identical, serves a completely different purpose, instead of putting pressure and activating fight or flight instincts, it serves to maintain comedic timing. Then again these two feel like they could almost be the same game. With Batman, the quality declined somewhat fierce though. Like it just feels jank and doesn't make sense. The words Batman says don't correspond to what the choices seem like are a lot of the time severely out of character and nonsensical, the QTEs have random nonsensical input combinations, the engine just stalls all the time, animation doesn't look right, Batman shuffles in place on invisible obstacles. The problem wasn't that there was more of the same, indeed he game introduced the innovative Gambit mechanic, it's just that the execution quality was so much worse than you'd come to expect from this company.

I wish they added more variety to their games like i like the story and all that but for example i never liked quick time events as their basis for action. Hope they learn from it and add more variety. like for example batman, I'm asking too much if they turned it into arkham free flow combat but i wish they get more creative with the action sequences.

I hate that we’ll never get a game of thrones season 2. I love that game and it was left with a permanent cliffhanger
