/ttgg/ - TellTale Games

>>25272

Not him, but the dialogue is pretty cheesy. Almost every part of the game is a hub. You can't completely roam the world, but there are parts where you can explore most of the school campus, and there's a ton of items to examine and little things like helping people and getting dirt on people as well.

>LiS

I know there has been a lot of bitching recently, but I have to bitch about discussing LiS here. It's not a TellTale game so why is it being discussed?

>it's similar

So? It's not "telltale games and games that are similar general"

I'd rather discus lewd than some TWD wannabe/hipster simulator/butterfly effect clone.

>>25272

Basically this >>25273

There's also the time rewind mechanic. Instead of just rewinding to pick a different dialogue option, it can also be used to open up new options and even solve puzzles. There was a pretty neat puzzle involving a paint bucket that I liked.

>>25274

Well, the fact that its so similar provides a lot of opportunities to discuss how TTG could change up their "formula" they tout around. I persinally think that TTG would benefit greatly by looking at what makes LiS good. LiS has better gameplay elements in my opinion, which is one thing that's lacking from recent TT games.

I'm not gonna go off discussing the game's story or something though. I agree that would be too far off topic.

>>25273

>there are parts where you can explore most of the school campus, and there's a ton of items to examine and little things like helping people and getting dirt on people as well.

>I think TTG would do well to follow this formula

I'd love if S3 did something like this with a big Wellington-like settlement and the areas surrounding it. It'd would be a welcome change from constantly moving from set-piece to set-piece with an occasional barebones hub to break the action the way S2 did it.

>>25275

Agreed. TTG seems to think it owns the "narrative-heavy adventure game" genre so it worth talking about games that are doing something similar and possibly better. That's why I want to talk about how Firewatch handles creative narratives when it comes out since it's being made by essentially the S1 team and they seem keen on polishing the "formula" that made S1 work to begin with. That's all I ever wanted S2 to do when I first heard it was coming out.

>>25272

I didn't really directly answer this question because I was posting from my phone, but I'd say the writing is just out of touch. It's as if someone thought Hannah Montana was a realistic depiction of life at an American high school and decided to write it that way.

As much as we like to criticize TT's writing ability, I think overall they're better at writing natural-sounding dialogue versus LiS. It sounds like a conversation most of the time, not a hodgepodge of canned, clichéd responses. If the TTG writers teamed up with the gameplay people from LiS (and quit rewriting shit all the time), I think the end result would be pretty great.

I think I'll head to bed for now, I'm tired as hell. But there's one thing I'd like to mention before I go. LiS has a lot of internal monologue, do you think this would work well in a TT game? Would S2 have benefited if we could hear Clementine's internal monologue and make decisions based around that? Do you think it might alienate you as a player?

I decide to make some OC and discussion picks up while I'm gone.

>bitching

Oh…

>>25260

Mike was actually supposed to be one of the bandits that attacked Christa, and part of episode 3 was supposed to be him trying to convince Clem that he's not a bad person, but Telltale scraped that because god forbid there be an actually interesting character in the game.

>>25261

Where the fuck did this even come from? Depressionanon hasn't even been posting like that lately and in fact has been improving recently. So the only reason I can see for you posting that is just to be a dick.

>>25263

>Just your everyday baneposting.

Really glad I'm not the only one who thought of that. The guy in the poster is even dressed like CIA.

>>25271

>but that doesn't change the fact that I think you're a dick

So this is an argument between Wolverine and Cyclops?

>>25275

I wonder though, what's the story like in terms of quality? How does it compare to a Telltale game?

And since my internet is being it's usual uncooperative self, this is where I'll say good night /ttgg/. I'll post the OC I made tomorrow.

>>25278

I think the story is just fine, aside from some bumps. Most of the characters are pretty alright as well, aside from typical cunt Victoria. Chloe is still a funny character despite being a terrible friend and influence.

>>25263

Yeah, the openness of it is really great. I almost forgot that narrative focused "games" can be open. It's pretty good. Shame about the preachy politics and bland or annoying characters.

So far Chloe is the only one with any depth to her, but goddamn do I want to choke a bitch. How the fuck did she even live this long anyway? I had to save her life three times in two days.

>>25222

I laughed at the end, I'm terrible.

That's what she gets for double parking in the handicapped space.

got comes out next week. Gryff gets BTFO'd

>>25284

I can't believe I'm actually excited for this. This is the first time I've actually been hype for a new GOT episode.

>>25285

I lost interest when I realized that I won't get to see the battle of Castle Black or be able to send Forrester men to march with Stannis. Still, it's nice to see that Ironrath folks won't spend another whole episode getting bullied. It was getting very repetitive.

>>25281

>Shame about the preachy politics

Yeah, this annoyed me.

>if season 2 had internal monologuing, telltale would've given us choices for that as well

Hah, I never thought about that.

Imagine this as a huge player choice:

>[Reminisce about apple juice]

>[Reminisce about hotdogs]

>>25284

Nice, now all we need is a Borderlands trailer.

>>25287

Meant to reply to >>25283

Pretty quiet these days, huh?

If I didn't have so many other things to take care of, I'd take this opportunity to finish GoT Ep2 and 3. I also didn't get to start drawing like I wanted to.

>>25289

I'm trying to post but I keep getting an error.

>>25290

Yeah, same here. I tried posting an image but it didn't want to go through.

>>25291

So the problem wasn't with the specific image I was trying to post? Okay. I guess I'll just ask without the image, would you have preferred season 2 being a sequel to 400 Days instead? Granted you'd be playing as Bonnie since she's the one who goes no matter what, but at least it would be better than the rest of the cast being reduced to two second cameos.

>>25289

Yep, things are often very quiet.

I had a pretty good day, did some go-karting.

>you'll never take clem go-karting

>you'll never rub it in her face when you win

>>25292

I don't know. I played 400 days after season 2, so I never felt the anticipation you anons might have had to see them in action again and the disappointment when you didn't.

>you'd be playing as Bonnie

That's a tough sell. I guess I only really hate her because of season 2, so it might not have been so bad. Maybe playing as her would make people more sympathetic towards her little drug problem.

>>25293

Go-karting sounds really fun! I'm sure if images weren't broken, someone would post that Mario Kart picture.

Also, I think Clem could probably beat me in go-karts because she'd be lighter. Those things can really start slowing down the more you weigh.

>>25293

>not letting Clementine win

It's like you don't even love her.

>>25294

I know playing as Bonnie would be a tough sell, but she'd have to be a more likeable character if we're going to play as her for an entire game. I feel like a sequel to 400 Days would be better than what we got, if anything because it'd be a continuation of something from season 1, we already knew the characters somewhat, and we'd get to know them even more through the events in season 2.

>>25292

No, honestly. I was underwhelmed by 400 days and hearing that S2 was a continuation of it would not only have baffled me (why call it S2 if it's not going to pick up where S1 left off), I probably would not have picked it up. I've mentioned before I don't have much interest in the TWD universe beyond how it's affected by the characters I came to care about in TWDGS1. There's also a good chance it still would've lead and written by Breckon and his team so the writing would likely have been terrible, only this with characters I don't care about.

>>25297

Better they ruin characters we don't care about than ones we do care about. Though I'm sure plenty of people wouldn't have bought the game in that case, which is why I consider season 2 to be a cash grab, and Clem is only the PC because the game wouldn't sell otherwise.

Let her down gently

Meant to reply to >>25296

Okay, I found out by testing that the filesize limit is a meager 8kb. I don't even have any images besides >>25298 that are that small.

>>25299

>Better they ruin characters we don't care about

Better that they don't ruin characters at all. There's not much we can do for S2 besides hope that the DLC and S3 will be good. For better or worse, we're stuck with how it is now. Hopefully GoT Ep4 will continue to prove that TTG might have gotten their shit together.

>tfw Bloody Mary will never be romanceable

Why go on living?

Also yeah only small files are working right now.

>>25309

idk, BM seems like she would be into some pretty hardcore stuff.

>>25310

That's the point.

>>25310

…how hardcore are we talking here?

>>25304

she looks like a character from King of the Hill in this picture lol

>>25314

>>25312

She might cuss during intercourse and she might also hold your hands while you do it missionary style saying that she loves you

Basically she's a twisted bitch.

>>25318

I-I thought you were talking about Clem for a brief second, s-so I imagined her in those scenarios…

>>25317

That's quite a stretch. Try this on for size:

Ascii 25 is the End of Medium control character which was used to signify that a computer tape was ending.

>End of Medium

>End of World 3.14

Clearly this means Clem is the cutest person in the entire world.

>>25318

Lewd..

>>25319

Really lewd…

>>25317

I want to taste Clem's 3.14, if you know what I mean…
