One of my favorite developers of all time is Telltale games
. Truly a golden grail company that almost never disappoints me. Each and ever unraveling plot line they muster is pure story telling gold. It's like they are androids who function on a different brain wave length than our brains can muster how they just pump out emotional rollercoaster story after emotional rollercoaster story. For iconic franchises and adaptations. And this year is season 4 and final season of the walking dead tell tale game series. And no other game series ever has ever put me through such a tornado of emotions and gotten me so invested.
At this point Clementine means something to me, not just a character but an actual tangible influence in my life and really although a virtual entity, someone I care for if that makes sense. It sounds like exaggeration games be so powerful sometimes. From the first season you show her how to use a gun and she's 8, from ups and downs she's been through with Lee so much and see at least 4 dozen people die but now she's 17 and it's crazy to see it all come full circle. Not one season of the series has not made me cry, laugh, get angry all in one. Just toying with your emotions and keeping you happy along the ride.
The character development of TT games is so awesome imo. I love how your decisions deeply effect the plot. Sometimes they come back to haunt you. I love how they added collectibles in the new one too
.
I loved wolf among us, I loved the Minecraft stories mostly, I adored the tales from the borderlands game. And especially the holy grail walking dead series.
Some people don't like them. I think most won't if they come in wanting a video game that's demanding, and video game like. I tend to consider them more interactive movies that you write the plot in and once you come at them with that perspective and want to enjoy the story line. The very storyline you shape with every decision in the dialogue is pretty marvelous and fun. But I can see why many might not like. The gameplay is of course simple.
Do you like Telltale games or point and click story games as a whole or do you think they are bad?
