Because if it's the former, I'll cede the point, but in the latter case I will never stop laughing at you and your bad opinions.

Oh my god you belong stuffed in a locker for eternity. And before you continue to act like a sad nerd here's a post you should look at. I'll even bold the important bit as to idiot proof so I don't have to see you reply

This is perfect timing, I just finished The Wolf Among Us (which was better than TWD by miles, simply by not being another loving zombie story.) so it'll be fun to watch other people make terrible decisions.

So this other Telltale game was so much better than TWD, because it wasn't a zombie story? And what, exactly, did anything I said have to do with the setting in particular? I'm not trying to be pedantic here, that's literally where you put the emphasis in bold. Sorry, idiot-proofing is impossible when you are the idiot.

What I dislike about the game is that whether or not the authors are able to write a decent story, they sure are failing at doing so within the medium they've chosen. They don't seem capable of depicting dramatic scenarios without making them seem completely contrived, and they're not putting in the effort necessary to provide the illusion that your choices matter, everything's shoehorned back into the destined path in a very choppy fashion.

Maybe I should've been more specific: I've been hearing criticisms like this for months about these people's games, but without seeing any of it for myself I had to withhold judgement. Now, I made a sweeping generalization because my own tiny exposure is only the latest piece of information that I'm basing my opinion on, not the entirety. I'm not saying "Hey, let me pull this out of my rear end because clearly three hours of video is enough to judge a company's entire library by," I'm saying "Wow, all those people with negative things to say were right all along!"


Edit: it's great how you insufferable dorks aren't even arguing that TWD S2 isn't a poo poo game/story, you're just so goddamn offended that I criticized Telltale in general. How loving dare someone say that people who produced a poorly-written game are bad writers? I feel like I've wandered into a Bioware thread or something.

Actually dude what I was calling you out for is the part where you said you thought it was poo poo even though you hadn't ever heard anything about it, which is a statement that makes no logical sense. You can think what you want about TWD's writing and I would even agree that Season 2's writing quality takes a pretty big dip compared to the first, but acting as if you magically knew it was poo poo and as if that gives you a reason to be smug about it doesn't just make you a dick, it makes you a dick and a moron. Don't be a dick and a moron.

That's not what I said, though. I meant that I hadn't played them myself, or seen them played. I've read a lot of opinions about them, some pretty level-headed and some not, which is part of why I was interested to see this LP pop up.

This argument is a lot less funny when rather than a bunch of genuinely self-righteous dickheads, it's just people with poor reading comprehension who can't be bothered to consider that if something they read makes no rational sense, then they may be misunderstanding something.

Ain't that the dude that took immense offense to me saying the DS fanbase was insufferable? That explains quite a bit.

Just caught up on the TWD playthrough, Clem's hard as gently caress now, huh? Second-coolest fictional under-12 female character. Also, Nick is the zombie-apocalypse version of Ziggy Sobotka. Just this MASSIVE fuckup that doesn't mean harm but just keeps doling it out.

Actually no one is doing that you sad spaz. I don't even like any of TWD poo poo I'm just calling you out on posting like a huge goober who needs to be stuffed in a locker. You are super defensive, post incredibly dumb sentences like "I've never seen anything about this but I assumed it was all terrible!" and just constantly act super offended and like you're out to fight anyone.

Seriously, stop posting. You're really bad at it.

Someone starting with FF13 wouldn't get a terribly skewed view of the Final Fantasy franchise though, because FF13 is just a particularly strong example of the woes of almost every FF game. From what I've heard people saying in other threads, it seems like the same is true of Telltale: WD Season 2 seems to be a low point but they're generally known for this sort of thing.

It sounds like you're just saying that if I had gotten into better Telltale games beforehand, then I would've been more likely to dismiss the shittiness of this one out of emotional attachment, which is probably true but is just a way of refusing to address criticism.


I'm confused, are you saying this because I seem to be getting a bit too serious about video games in a Super Best Friends thread, or is it because I insulted a thing you enjoy and you just don't wanna admit how loving stupid it is?

You're a tool because you're judging something (Telltale's writing) when you self-admittedly never actually experienced it. At best you're selectively listening to criticism, and at worst, you're hating something just to hate it because it is popular and you think hating popular things makes you look cool.

I love that they just made her a stone cold badass. Like she went from crying about how she's too little to make it alone to doin fuckin field surgery on herself. I guess in season three she'll just rip out a zombie spine and beat a bandit to death with it.

At the same time I don't think it's really a good thing that the little girl is becoming a stone-cold hardass. But it's a zombie apocalypse good things don't happen.

It'd be really cool if they time skipped like 10-20 years and abandoned the zombie apocalypse setting entirely. Like, go to a time where the post-apocalypse is over, and it's the post-post-apocalypse instead. Instead of the old "survive and kill zombies", have the game be about an already rebuilt society, completely secure settlements, agriculture, trading and politics and so on, with the zombie virus being merely a marginal threat. Kinda like how the Fallout series progressed from Mad Max level chaos to actual new governments emerging and ensuring near pre-war level of welfare for citizens.

I normally don't even like the whole 'helpless character turns badass' arcs in these things but A) enough time passed for it to make sense that Clem would harden the gently caress up, and B) enough horrible poo poo happened in front of her, and Lee was such a big influence on her, it makes sense she'd internalize a poo poo ton of it.
