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.
