If Telltale games are not considered videogames, are Visual Novels considered games?

In Telltale related news - there's actually going to be a Minecraft: Story Mode Season 2
Then what of text adventures on old Dos box's? Were they videogames or something else entirely?If Telltale games are not considered videogames, are Visual Novels considered games?
What does the genre title of visual novel tell you? Some of them also have much more choices than TellTale Tales.
Telltale used to make half-decent adventure games. I think either Sam & Max Season 3 or Back to the Future: The Game was among their last decent adventure games. Then they went full retard with Walking Dead around 2012 and haven't looked back since.
Okay, so VNs can be considered videogames if they have branching paths, inventory management and the odd puzzle. Ergo, VNs are videogames.
Aren't these kind of books called "gamebooks"? Then it only makes sense if Telttale games are still categorised as "videogames""choose your own adventure" stories
They've made a bazillion dollars, millions of people have enjoyed their products, and they've been entrusted with many of the most beloved nerd franchises in every medium (comics, adventure games, TV shows). They've got nothing to be ashamed of other than their role in kicking adventure game gameplay while it was down rather than lifting it back up. But if I were preparing an indictment for that crime, Telltale would not be in the first ten defendants."At least we are doing better than Odd Gentlemen" must be how they sleep at night.
What is the view on Don Bluth's Dragon's Lair? Game or not?
And the studio seems completely creatively bankrupt since they can't seem to create a setting of their own.
Then, looking back, I realized the game had been like that all the time —scripted sequences where you could only press "move forward" and, in many cases, the only reason you didn't know what was going to happen was because of the forced camera angle or something like that. So, yeah, a movie.
I actually had to grab the controller more than once every 2 minutes, there was more gameplay.
You are such a fucking edgy moron, you will fit right in to the Codex. Almost all of your sentences is a piece of vomit, it would be a waste of time to answer them, but be assured, you are an idiot.One of the great things about video games is actually being able to play them. Telltale "games" are "choose your own adventure" stories with very limited interaction. They are not games in the truest sense of the word. They're interactive stories, and they're shitty at even that. They have terrible fucking plots, a fucking toddler could come up with better stories. These "games" barely have any gameplay outside of hitting A or whatever to select what shitty piece of dialogue you want to progress the story. They say these "games" are in the vain of old "point and click adventures", but they're absolutely not. Only 1 or 2 of these "games" have any real gameplay (I recall maybe 1 puzzle in The Walking Dead), the rest was just choosing some dialogue options and watching how shit played out in very predictable ways. The only meaningful choices I remember was "lol who should I kill?". And of course you don't get a real choice here, you get a pretend choice that the developers decide for you. You either choose option a or option b, either fucking way you're not making a real choice in a true sense. You don't have the option to try to save both, like any good RPG would let you do.
Not only that, but not 1 Telltale employee has any real talent. They've been doing the same garbage for as long as I remember, and the ONLY REASON their games sell is because they tack on already super popular IP names. When any ol fucking normie sees "MINECRAFT" they're going to buy the fucking game. Of course they probably missed the small print below "MINECRAFT" that says "a Telltale game", but maybe that was the fucking point to begin with. They're a leech. They attach themselves to already successfull IPS and drain the life of anyone who's a fan.
GO READ A FUCKING BOOK.
Telltale is a garbage developer. If you're giving them money then you're part of the problem and you're my enemy.
