Karpaw posted:I think this series will show whether Telltale is stuck in a rut or has promise for the future. Focusing on story-driven games is all well and good but it doesn't absolve you of the need to innovate and experiment with mechanics, instead of thinking that PROFOUND MORAL CHOICES ON A TIMER (that eventually play out the same way except for minor details) is some kind of golden formula that you can coast on forever. Same here. Im hoping between the criticisms TWAU and TWD got Telltales crafted this game accordingly.

Dinklage sounded like he was phoning it in for Destiny... I know my earlier post here mentioned my doubts about this game, but I'm overall feeling optimistic for it. Telltales should know they have gold here with a story and character driven game based on a red hot franchise right now thats arguably bigger than The Walking Dead (I think the zombie fad is pretty much burnt out now). The fact they got some of the actors (playing main characters, no less) from the show should demonstrate how focused they are on making this successful.

Dolash posted:The family reminds me quite a bit of the Starks. Between that and the fact that you're playing as five people in a franchise known for brutally killing off characters it's not really a good sign...

It starts AT the end of Season 3 and ends right before Season 5, so chances are events in season 4 are going to get spoiled.

Everything looks awesome so far, although the facial animations seem a little...stiff to me.In It For The Tank posted:To play as someone outside the family will provide an interesting angle to the overlying goal of protecting the family. I think it was mentioned that playable characters will include people connected to but outside the Forrester family.

Finished this on PC. Complaints: Needed more polish, especially in the beginning. A lot of graphical glitches such as clipping, janky animation, and some weirdly misplaced objects. Also some framerate inconsistency. I wouldn't make a big deal about this except that Tales of Borderlands didn't have any of these issues with me. Fortunately, these issues smoothed out as the game went on. Overall, I had a blast and hoping Telltales hurries up with the next episode because  . The voice acting from the TV cast was pretty spot on (Dinklage didn't phone it in!). Although I think the guy playing Ramsay stole the show.Also gently caress Lord Whitehill.

Another minor complaint: As far as I can tell theres no skip dialog button or anything. Makes replaying this again a bit more daunting.

Dolash posted:I wonder, if this game is a success will they do another season? With Telltale's development schedule it could become a regular between-seasons thing for the show. I read that Telltale has a "multi-year, multi-title" partnership with HBO so we're probably getting at least another season in the works and a spin off or two.

Draxamus posted:What I'd like to see is more actual branching paths in these games. I want wildly different experiences depending on your choices. I think that's what Telltale is going for in the long term with this series. You make a lot of decisions in this episode that you didn't see the consequences for just yet, so we might seem them later on in future episodes.

Spikeguy posted:Would a guy like Ramsay Snow be able to get away with knifing a lord in his house, especially a child? Would there be no consequences? I know this is a lovely setting run by lovely people, but that seems like a lot for people to get over. Yes. He and his daddy are pretty much the law now in the North. Even if the remaining Stark loyalists throw a fit, its going to mean gently caress all because the Boltons are in charge. As for him being a child...remember season 2 starts with a bunch of kids, even babies getting massacred and nothing is done about it because it was ordered by the king. Roman Reigns fucked around with this message at 22:18 on Dec 5, 2014 |

Funso Banjo posted:I think this may be wishful thinking. Because they've had the chance to do that before in other games, and haven't. Is this where they are going to change? No evidence that they can change, as far as I can see. I won't deny that it is. Decisions that players have made in other games were just dropped as episodes went on. Spikeguy posted:But have they ever stated that your decisions would have long term consequences, or the games would have a lot of branching paths? Eh...they usually they have that blurb in the beginning of their games implying that they do but up to now everyone knows that's not really true. Honestly, any hope I have of seeing GoT being different from past Telltale games is based on what I've read about it. But even if it isn't I'm perfectly fine with that. As long as they tell a great story with great characters I'm A-ok.

CharlieFoxtrot posted:I wonder how much Essos is going to be a part of things with Asher. It would be nice to see some new things like the other Free Cities, but I am assuming they have been avoiding showing anything not already seen in the show, which is why it's all North/King's Landing/Wall stuff. Unless Asher just loves being in Essos, I don't see him staying there for too long when Malcolm asks him to come back. Although it would be nice to get a glimpse of the few places Dany devastated on her liberation campaign to see what the after effects up close are like.

BlueBayou posted:On another note... what do we think the North Grove is? Pretty much what I'm thinking. Some sort of magical site that causes their wood to become "iron". The game does make a big deal of how unique it is. I also don't trust the Maester in relation to this. He seems pretty nosey about things, particularly about the North Grove.

Wait the North Grove is above the Wall? I figured it was near the "ironwood"

I thought it was implied that Duncan was planning to bring back Gared soon to help the family out and that getting experience as ranger would help. I think he even mentions he'll need Gared's help eventually. But given how Northern lords actually give a poo poo about the Wall and the Night's Watch, I guess that makes more sense.

Elissa is really the only one that feels like a copy to me. I get how some people think some of the cast are stand-ins for people on the main show, but I thought the characters were pretty distinguished in their own personalities.

I didn't stand up to Gryff because I'm HOPING TellTales anticipates that some players want to keep the Whitehills oblivious that the Forresters are acting against them especially after what Gwyn tells you. I also just kept thinking about that old ironborn saying the entire time "What is dead may never die, but rises again, harder and stronger". My time will come.

I don't know, I thought that part was pretty cool. Everything else, especially Mira, was utter nonsense and this was a miserable train wreck to play through. Which makes it a true GoT game, since the show has basically devolved into that as well.

Probably my biggest problem with this series. I get that its based on a show/book that's pretty dark and takes a dump on happy endings, but getting kicked in the teeth from beginning to end relentlessly makes for an unfun and dismal experience.

No but I was legitimately pissed when Jon Snow talked. Everything he complained about was something that none of us had any control over.

Raxivace posted:I'm wondering if I should check out the The Walking Dead. I've heard a lot of people say it's the high mark for this type of game, though after hearing bad things about the original AMC show for years I've just kind of stayed away from that entire property. It has nothing to do with the show other than one or two minor elements. You'll actually enjoy it more if you go in knowing nothing about The Walking Dead. Season 1 is critically acclaimed for a reason, 2 not so much. Play the first season at the very least.
