>Expected release date for GOT finale?

Late November

>Expected release date for TFTB finale?

Early November

>What do you think of the BttF remaster?*

Meh…

>Will you buy/pirate Michonne?*

Not even going to youtube it

>Will you buy/pirate Minecraft?*

Same as Michonne DLC

>Are you hyped for TWD Show S6?*

No, I never watched the show

>Is there any way you'd get interested in Minecraft?

I might pirate it if you guys seem very impressed with it.

>>28714

>board owner leaves temporarily

Do we know when he might come back?

>>28714

>Expected release date for GOT finale?

>Expected release date for TFTB finale?

October. Telltale's made a big deal that it's gong to be a "mega month" so I feel that's a safe bet to make.

>What do you think of the BttF remaster?*

Not much. It's probably a fine game but I've never had interest in it.

>Will you buy/pirate Michonne?*

>Will you buy/pirate Minecraft?*

I'll youtube them first, see if their worth getting.

>Are you hyped for TWD Show S6?*

Not a big fan of the show but I do enjoy making fun of watching it with you guys so yeah.

>Is there any way you'd get interested in Minecraft?

If it had LiS's big, highly-interactive hubs and the humor and charm of the Ghostbusters and Goonies movies Telltale's been constantly comparing it to. Also an option to change that awful "art style".

>>28717

Yes, he'll likely be back within a week or two. Computer's busted and since he has no internet access, I helped him order parts to fix it.

Reminder that the finale of FTWD will be streamed in approximately an hour.

>>28721

Soon, anon. I'm waiting for a rip.

Thanks for watching!

Remember that TWD Season 6 starts next week!

>>28719

>Computer's busted and since he has no internet access, I helped him order parts to fix it.

That's nice of you anon. Hope he's able to back online soon.

>>28720

>I finally got around to playing Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments that an anon suggested to me several months back.

That would be me. I've never actually played it but the game sounds super cool from your post. It sounds like what TWAU could've been; a big problem with that game is that it didn't matter if you "solved" the crime or not and the villain just straight up tells you the answer.

>>28724

Thanks for streaming.

The CG boat was amazing. It was almost worth all the boring "build up".

>The first installment of the 16-part web series Fear The Walking Dead: Flight 462 will coincide with Fear The Walking Dead‘s Season 1 finale on Sunday, October 4.

>The online series is set to premiere on AMC.com October 4, and then air as promos during two commercial breaks within The Walking Dead season 6 premiere episode on Sunday, October 11. Subsequent episodes, each less than one minute long, will debut every Sunday, online and then on-air as promos during new episodes of The Walking Dead, for the duration of Season 6. In addition, one of the characters featured in the web series will join the cast of Fear The Walking Dead Season 2.

>>28726

Didn't they do something like this during season 1 of TWD? They called them Webisodes or something.

>>28727

I don't know, I only started following the show recently.

No wonder the military in TWD fell; It's staffed by a bunch of incompetent fucks who can't shoot for shit or spot the location of a giant horde until it's under their nose.

>>28729

To be fair, security was probably lax because they had cleared out all the undead in the area and things were safe. They didn't count on having their shit fucked up by a barber.

>>28730

I don't think there's anyway the actual military would take their eyes off the surrounding area because they think it's "safe". Beyond the having better, more meticulously guarded checkpoints into their base they'd have sentry points all over the demilitarized zones to spot any suspicious activity and keep up their intelligence. That's how they'd make sure the those areas are safe.

The army fell victim to idiot ball because that's really the only way these organizations can fall completely apart in zombie fiction, especially TWD.

>>28710

I hope it's soon.

S2 wasn't great and I don't have high hopes for S3, but as long as Clem is involved, I will be involved as well.

I might actually try out the Michonne series eventually, maybe not, I don't know. She was a character I liked in the TV series, but I've started to disagree with her views recently. If the game is about Comic Michonne, then I will certainly not be as invested.

I meant to attend the stream of FtWD but I started drinking early with my brothers (football) and fell asleep.

Also, this OP made me want to listen to Les Misérables again

>>28733

>S2 wasn't great and I don't have high hopes for S3, but as long as Clem is involved, I will be involved as well.

I'm kind of in the same boat. S2 greatly deteriorated my investment in Clem but not enough to make me drop the series while she's still in it. In fact I'd be pissed if they abandoned her despite me knowing her character will likely never fully recover from the damage it received in S2 and will probably suffer further derailment in future seasons.

>If the game is about Comic Michonne, then I will certainly not be as invested.

It is.

http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/06/15/e3-2015-the-walking-dead-michonne-miniseries-announced

>The story for The Walking Dead: Michonne "explores her untold journey during the time between issues #126 and #139," Telltale Games explained. This puts the beginning of the three-episode series right at the end of the All Out War arc, in which Grimes' crew finally overcomes the despicable Negan.

>>28735

>"remotely"

What does that mean?

>>28726

>Fear The Walking Dead: Flight 462

That's why they showed that CGI plane.

>>28729

And they were shooting BBs.

>>28731

>really the only way these organizations can fall completely apart

I disagree. The military can easily get weakened (there were even hints of it in the show) and fall apart because the soldiers want to see their family, have disagreements, are dying one by one, etc. I was totally expecting FTWD to go that route and was very disappointed it was just "lel big zombie horde". It felt rushed and it would've been great if there were a few more episodes to wrap it up like that.

>>28736

>I'd be pissed if they abandoned her

We've discussed before that TWDG is essentially about Clem's survival. The point of S1 was essentially to protect her (as Lee), and S2 was just sort of faffing about but still about her. Would you be okay if she "passed the torch" to someone? AJ, presumably, but it wouldn't necessarily be him.

And don't limit yourself to S3, either. Maybe it's not really plausible that it would happen in S3, but rather waaaaay in the future in S4 or 5 when we're all 40 years old.

>What does that mean?

I had to make the webm blindly with time codes on the streaming server since I don't have a local copy.

>>28737

>Would you be okay if she "passed the torch" to someone?

You mean shift focus to another character? I'm not sure. To me TWDG as a series is ideally about Clem and would end when her story did. If she passed the torch to AJ or whoever it would be at the very end of the series as a an act of closure. Telltale could make a sequel/spin-off series if they felt so compelled as long as they nicely wrapped up Clementine's journey. Of course I'm saying this as if there's a chance that'll happen.

That said I've always liked the idea AJ's role increasing in importance as the series went on, to the point of becoming playable along side Clem. Sort of like how in the Last of Us Ellie got increasingly more playtime as the game progressed.

>>28740

Similarly S2 pretty much destroyed any fatherly feelings or concern I'd of had for post-S1 Clementine. I honestly now wish she wasn't playable in S2 now knowing Telltale would fuck up her character that badly.

>>28741

>It sucks that the series isn't as good as it could have been, but I'd still like to be pleasantly surprised by an enjoyable Season 3.

I'm not sure how "good" the rest of the series could possibly be now after S2 derailed it and how much Telltale has changed since S1. I see it probably ending up like the TV show or the comics, mediocre but still stringing it's audience along with fanservice and promises it'll get better next season. Would that even be worth sticking around for?

>>28743

Finally…………

>>28744

You guys will want to savor this. It might be the last good episode of anything Telltale will release for a long time.

>>28747

That teaser reminds me of the Vine teaser for S2E5, with Clem wandering through the blizzard.

>>28747

>Accolades trailer

I've always hated these.

Anyways, any predictions from that teaser? It looks like another giant Vault guardian or something,

Maybe it's Gortys' big brother.

>>28750

I be they reused the same animation.

>>28751

I'm guessing the Vault hasn't been opened yet by the time Rhys and Fiona are captured by the Stranger.

>Maybe it's Gortys' big brother.

I can see that. It looks like Atlas tech.

>I be they reused the same animation.

It seems like they did. I hope it looks a lot less janky when she turns. Clem jerked into different directions like a robot in that scene.

What are the chances there will actually be nudity in the GoT finale?

>>28751

>Maybe it's Gortys' big brother.

Maybe it's Gortys herself? It looks like her.

It seems it's the Telltale publisher weekend on Steam, so a bunch of their titles are a bit cheaper. Pretty neat if you want to pick up one of their games you haven't played.

>>28747

Neat! Well, minus the obviously reused animations.

>>28749

I want to give her the T.

>>28761

Is this a genuine question or is this Kennyfag bait?

Quite obviously she's implying Kenny oppresses womyn and is literally the patriarchy incarnate.

>>28760

Sorry, it's kind of hard to think of anything to talk about. I should bring up TftB or even GoT more since we haven't combed those for every possible discussion like we have S2.

>>28761

That he gets off on controlling women? Not sure what else she could be implying.

>>28762

The feminist bent is kind of bizarre and out of nowhere but S2 Kenny is very controlling.

Actually, before I reply to any posts I'd like to explain the situation to you guys. I'm on a new computer so I'm gonna spend the next few days reacquiring the programs I lost, then I'll be looking for a job. There's also another TF2 event going on right now, and Clementine's birthday is soon too, so I have a lot on my plate. About advertisements, I think this month is the best time for us to advertise since it's Telltale's "mega month". I'll try to have an ad ready by Monday so it can be put up by the time Minecraft comes out. I think /v/, /co/, and /tv/ are suitable enough boards for advertising.

Finally, since I'm on a new computer, I lost all of my /ttgg/ and related images. If you anons could be so kind as to pack all of your images into a zip or rar archive and upload it somewhere for me to download, I'd really appreciate that. Both 4chan & 8chan archives are down, so you guys are my only hope for this. I understand that putting so many images into one archive would result in a large file size, so if your internet connection doesn't allow you to upload large files, don't worry about it.

>>28644

>Do we even know who's working on it?

The only thing I know about the Michonne DLC is that it's apparently being written by one of the writers from the GOT game.

>>28666

Good.

>>28667

I was wondering why they would do this too. I was thinking it was because they finally plan to make a sequel, but it looks like that's not the case. Oh well.

>>28704

Damn, now I really wish I didn't lose all my images, I had something perfect for this.

>>28713

Oh god you're right, I never thought of that before. Although 400 Days seemed shorter than 90 minutes to me. Regardless, I maintain that even if Michonne turns out to be good, it doesn't mean season 3 will be.

>>28717

I'm really surprised to see somebody ask for me during my time away. I appreciate it anon.

>>28739

I feel the same except I think I've gotten past growing increasingly bitter at this point. I know season 3 is gonna suck, most likely even more than season 2, but for some reason I'm still invested in Clementine's character despite how much Telltale ruined her in season 2.

>>28740

…And this is one of the reasons why I hate the changes to Clementine's character in season 2.

>>28742

> honestly now wish she wasn't playable in S2 now knowing Telltale would fuck up her character that badly.

Same.

>>28743

Remember that title card. It could change by the time we get the episode.

>>28747

>"What do you want out of all of this?"

>"The truth."

Oh god, that one anon's prediction might actually come true.

Still hyped for this regardless.

>>28751

>I've always hated these.

Me too, especially when the game in question isn't worthy of the praise. *cough* Season 2 *cough*

>>28753

None. Too much effort on Telltale's part and they're unwilling to do it even though it's GOT and there were tits in TWAU.

>>28761

>>28762

>>28763

GamerGate happened around the same time as TWD S2 finale. Do you think that had an influence on making Jane the replacement for Luke?

>>28767

>If you anons could be so kind as to pack all of your images into a zip or rar archive and upload it somewhere for me to download, I'd really appreciate that.

I'll put my stuff up as soon as I figure out which site I should upload it to. Suggestions? I haven't done this before, I feel kinda dumb for saying.

>>28768

>Oh god you're right, I never thought of that before.

It's really suggestive that many of S2's worst missteps don't come from the writers but from the execs and producers making absurd demands of them. I mean the S1 team wrote 400 Days and it turned out bad due the problems listed. Hell, the whole thing was likely the higher-up's idea to begin with; it certainly seems like Vanaman and the others didn't care all that much.

>for some reason I'm still invested in Clementine's character despite how much Telltale ruined her in season 2.

Same. I know the real Clementine, the Clem that should've been, is effectively gone after S2 and no amount of retroactive writing in future episodes (short of an actual S2 revamp) is going to bring her back in tact, but I still feel strangely compelled to see S2 "Clem's" story through. Honestly, I'm sticking to the series mainly for /ttgg/ now. I couldn't keep my eyes off the trainwreck anyway so I'd prefer to watch it with you guys.

>Remember that title card. It could change by the time we get the episode.

Funny, I was thinking the same.

>Oh god, that one anon's prediction might actually come true.

Which prediction?

>Do you think that had an influence on making Jane the replacement for Luke?

No, I think Luke being a shitty, useless character is what influenced their decision to replace him with Jane. He was probably never intended to be significant character in the first place based on what I've learned.

>>28770

>Suggestions?

Dropbox or Mega.nz

>Which prediction?

That Rhys & Fiona were lying to the stranger about everything the whole time.

>He was probably never intended to be significant character in the first place based on what I've learned.

What did you learn? Luke seemed like a pretty important character to me. He got more screentime than anyone else in the cabin group, and they foreshadowed a conflict between him and Kenny. I think originally they were gonna have a choice of who to save rather than a choice to kill Kenny, but when they decided to replace Luke with Jane, the changed it to the situation we got since Luke wouldn't pretend to kill a baby to get on Kenny's bad side, and it's much easier to make a woman look like the victim in that situation than another man.

>>28772

>205 MB

>It's not a lot

Thanks dude. I hope other anons will come through for me as well.

>Luke stuff

Do you have a link or source for this? Behind the scenes stuff on season 2 is hard to find, at least for me. It kinda falls in line with what Kenny's voice actor said about how it was always supposed to end with Kenny vs. Jane, though personally I think he was just told that to cover up the fact that it was obviously changed from Kenny vs. Luke. If it's true however that it was always supposed to be Kenny vs. Jane, then that makes the writing in season 2 even worse. They should've never had a build up between Kenny and Luke in the first place, and this means that they had the idea from the start and never thought to change it rather than making it up on the spot and leaving it that way because the episode was rushed.

>have you kept up with FTWD?

Yes, I watched it on TV even though I couldn't attend the streams. It took five episodes, but it finally got interesting. The finale however, while exciting, was very flawed. I actually read a few threads about it on 4chan /tv/ before my computer went kaput, people were actually defending it because "TWD has always been about the characters not the zombies". What these people don't seem to understand is that the show overemphasizes the focus on the characters to the point where the show has basically nothing to do with zombies. You can replace the zombie apocalypse with any other type of apocalypse and it would change nothing until the last episode where someone in the main cast gets bit and has to be put down.

>>28773

Don't get your hopes up, I heard the gameplay in that was nothing but QTEs.

>>28775

Sure, that works.

Fair warning, stream may be delayed a little tonight. I have something I need to take care of.

I will stream though, no worries. Just unsure about time.

Watching the new episode right now, for some reason it's in black and white.

>>28781

Scratch that, stream will be at normal time, half hour after it airs. Since this is a season premiere that's an hour and a half, that means in one hour, 11PM EST.

>>28782

I hope it's not some pretentious stylistic choice. Or if it is, at least let it be for the intro.

When you get back, I'd like to know if at least was any good.

>>28782

Nice… mirror? Palindrome? What would that be called?

>>28783

It's some pretentious "art" shit. Some scenes are in black in white, some aren't, and the story is jumping all over the fucking place. One minute you're in a flashback, the next you're in current events. It's all very disjointed and confusing, really makes for a shit episode.

Interesting cliffhanger.

Thanks for watching, guys!

>>28788

Thanks for streaming. That ended sooner than I thought it would.

>>28787

I'll open up this question to the rest of the general, since it came up in the stream: How closely does the show follow the comics? If it follows very closely, I suppose Negan does have to show up very soon. He's also a fan favorite from what I can gather.

Is Negan responsible for the horn?

>>28789

Yeah, it's all of the ad time. Goes by a lot quicker when you aren't taken out of it every 15 minutes.

>>28790

This article speculates he's already been cast. Possible sort-of spoilers.

http://tvline.com/2015/10/09/the-walking-dead-negan-season-6-finale-cast/

>Exhibit A: Earlier this month, The Walking Dead issued a casting notice for the role of “Orin,” an imposing, charismatic, brutal, frightening, ferocious and hilarious sociopath in his 30s to mid 40s that is both a leader (and killer) of men. The character would first appear in Season 6’s 16th episode (AKA the finale) and be back (likely as a series regular) for subsequent seasons.

>Exhibit B: When asked if “Orin” is actually “Negan,” showrunner Scott M. Gimple replied to TVLine, “I can neither confirm nor deny,” before cheekily adding, “It’s not the worst guess in the world. It’s difficult to get around your logic here.”

>>28789

>How closely does the show follow the comics?

Very close. The comics provide free plotlines for the show to adapt. The divergences are in the "details", not so much the overall story.

>Is Negan responsible for the horn?

I'm certain he is. If not directly responsible than his henchmen did it on his orders.

Hopefully episode 2 of the TV show has no more black & white flashbacks. Like 70% of the episode was in black & white thanks to it.

>>28793

Yeah, that was really distracting. They were really afraid people wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the present and past scenes.

>>28776

>http://youngandyoungatheart.tumblr.com/post/129321601796/youve-mentioned-you-hate-luke-sometimes-is-there

Why are tumblr people so awkward? Also, obsessed with Sarah and Lilly?

Anyway, I'm willing to believe that Luke was tacked on for their B lister, mainly because of how bland and pointless he was, but on the other hand, everyone in the cabin group was pointless. Except for Rebecca who served as an incubator for a plot device.

>>28768

>I maintain that even if Michonne turns out to be good, it doesn't mean season 3 will be.

Oh, I agree. I for one found 400 days to be fairly enjoyable for what it was. But the brevity, and the "cinematic" streamlined storytelling isn't fit for anything other than these short stories we got in 400 days. Making S2 the same way was a mistake.

I'm just saying that we should pay attention to the gameplay, how they handle the choices and characters, their cinematography, and stuff like that, as it will likely hint at what we can expect out of season 3.

>>28770

>It's really suggestive that many of S2's worst missteps don't come from the writers but from the execs and producers making absurd demands of them.

I still think that the S2 writers could have been a lot better regardless of the constraints that were placed on them, but yeah, 90 minutes, no puzzles, and the "cinematic experience" was a decision made by execs. I remember a forum post that was going around on 4chan where a dev explains that they wanted their games to be more accessible to normies who just don't have the time to play a several hour long episode and get super invested in the story, or be frustrated by a puzzle. And that it should be a quick pop of entertainment and thrills like the episode of the TV show. Sadly I didn't save it. That said, I don't think any of that excuses poor writing.

See, I want to see Clem grow up to be Rick-lite or something. She has her own crew, she's pretty nice, but damn you if you cross.

>We're doing it live!

Best part of the season premiere

>>28793

Pretty sure every episode has already been edited to the final cut. If they plan to do this for the whole season, then even with a week before the next episode airs, I'm sure they don't want to reedit the episodes to be in chronological order.

>>28795

I hope so. I think she may have been the one who requested the Clementine taking pictures pic I took forever to do. I'd hate if she missed it.

>>28799

>>28796

>Anyway, I'm willing to believe that Luke was tacked on for their B lister, mainly because of how bland and pointless he was, but on the other hand, everyone in the cabin group was pointless

They were but as is pointed out in the link they all had hints of greater roles and actual arcs that were cut out of the original script. The point is Luke was a worthless "celebrity" vehicle and all the precious screen-time he wasted could've been used to flesh out the other CG members as was originally planned.

>But the brevity, and the "cinematic" streamlined storytelling isn't fit for anything other than these short stories we got in 400 days

Honestly I don't think it was fit for 400 Days either; there simply wasn't enough time for me to get to know or like almost any of the characters and all but one of the segments felt like random scenarios rather than proper self–contained stories. If really should've been a miniseries.

>I still think that the S2 writers could have been a lot better regardless of the constraints that were placed on them

Oh I agree but I also think the restraints and demands made by the higher-ups ruined the original plans the writers had for S2 and doomed the project. The S1 team couldn't have saved it.

>I remember a forum post that was going around on 4chan where a dev explains that they wanted their games to be more accessible to normies who just don't have the time to play a several hour long episode and get super invested in the story, or be frustrated by a puzzle.

Damn. If there was ever solid proof TT didn't give shit about TWDG or understand what made it great then there it is.

If you guys would like to help me make the ad for this place, I could use raw cutouts of the characters in >>28775. I also need a better background image.

So today my boss (the CEO) asked if anybody watched TWD. He showed us a picture of a walker who apparently is his cousin. He's been in every TWD season so far. I'll have to look for his name in the credits.

Thought it was neat. I wonder if it would be any fun to be a zombie extra for TWD?

>>28803

>World's largest 'Let's Play'

This kind of came out of nowhere. I wonder if Mojang has taken it upon themselves to advertise Story Mode somehow, or what the deal with that is. Is it popular with LPers? Is there an ad in the Minecraft launcher or something? How are so many people finding out about this game?

I guess the sale probably garnered a lot of interest, but even before that this game seems to have suddenly gotten a lot of exposure.

>>28804

Would flat Yotsuba B be good for the background color, to sort of emphasize that we're a board?

>>28805

> I wonder if it would be any fun to be a zombie extra for TWD?

I'd like to be one just for the money.

>Yotsuba B be good for the background color

Perhaps for the color, but I don't want the background itself to be just one solid color. I'd like for it to have at least a little bit of detail.

>>28805

Huh, I was actually thinking about asking if any walkers were regulars during the stream last night. That answers that question,

>This kind of came out of nowhere

Both Telltale and Mojang have been advertising this event for a while now; my post about it is probably the first time anyone here has heard of it. The actual event itself is going to be like the last "Crowd Play" event Telltale did with TftB episode 4 where the audience voted on the choices.

>>28808

It's out? Shit, better install it then.

>>28808

I liked Lukas.

>>28808

Is "masterpiece" supposed to be ironic or…?

I'll check it out on youtube later today.

>>28811

According to the choices screen, most people seemed to hate him.

Also, the random argument between him and Axl (whatever the fat guys name is) felt really forced and out of place.

To the people who have played/watched it: what's the verdict on the first episode of M:SM?

>>28816

So far he turns up for 5 minutes, gives you a quest and fucks off. Hopefully he doesn't die later on.

god dammit minecraft will not make me cry

>>28815

I thought it was cute, but I can't really refute anyone who calls this the weakest Telltale title. It's skewed towards a younger age and even then, this episode felt like a giant exposition dump since Minecraft 'has' no lore but has lots of big fanbase to try and milk it out of.

>>28818

>I can't really refute anyone who calls this the weakest Telltale title

So you're saying it's worse than TWDS2 and GOT? I mean I didn't expect Minecraft to be good, but it can't possibly be that bad.

>>28818

I'm about to give it a download, how are the characters? Do your choices "matter"?

>>28821

not sure what's smaller, that image or your dick.

>>28824

pretty sure you'd do that anyway

you sick cool dude of refined taste

>>28815

I just finished watching a playthrough of Minecraft. I really can't get into it. I like the characters to an extent, and the story isn't exactly bad, but it feels like they could've told it any other way, and it didn't really need to be a Minecraft game. It has elements from Minecraft itself, and I think they're incorporated well, but for the most part it didn't feel to me like this is a story that could only be set in the Minecraft universe. The music is nice, but I find it unfitting, maybe because of the look of the game. This game, or at least this episode of this game, is also the most where you can actually walk around in the environment in a Telltale game since episode 2 of TFTB. There's even an actual puzzle at the end that can take awhile to complete. Dave Fennoy's voice performance is underwhelming for me. I think he may have held back since this is a kid's game so he may have not felt the need to put the same amount of effort he would into anything else. The performance of Axel's voice actor also came off as flat to me. Overall it's better than what I expected but it left no impression on me and I find it really bland. Not bad, just bland.

>>28827

I thought Fennoy's performance was fine. But yeahm Axel's voice actor has less personality than the pig.

>>28827

That's a shame, I would have preferred it being shit to bland. That way we could laugh at it and bond.

I honestly don't even give a damn about Lukas as a character but I have a huge soft-spot for Porter.

>>28830

>The opening credit sequence just made me want to play TFTBL

I immediately thought of that game when the credits sequence happened. I couldn't take it seriously because I couldn't believe that they actually attempted that style of intro sequence for this game.

Haven't played or watched Minecraft, but do they explain why the pig can talk and not all the other ones?

>>28834

The pig can't actually talk. I mean it "talks" to the player character but it's just oinks and also I don't know why I'm trying to justify it because that's still fucking dumb but whatever.

>bland

I'm about halfway through a youtube walkthrough and I'm inclined to agree. There's nothing special or uniquely entertaining about this story so far; it neither elevates or is elevated by it's source material.

I'd say pretty much everyone's voice performance has been underwhelming; it's like everyone's keenly aware they're doing voicework for a children's video game and thus aren't giving it their all. Except for Scott Porter, I think he's just a bad voice actor; he sounds as bland and insincere as he did when he voiced Luke.

>>28836

The way Telltale's abused the "mash button and then press a second button" prompt for action scenes since S2 is really obnoxious.

I haven't posted or lurked here since shortly after the first exodus. How the hell is this place still alive?

>>28840

You underestimate our dedication. Also what do you mean by first exodus? You mean when people left 4chan for this place? What compelled you come back?

>>28841

I was a regular on halfchan's /ttgg/. I came over with the others but lost interest after a while since S2 and TWAU were over. I was just remembering all the fun I had here and decided to see if you guys were still going.

>>28842

Oh man you've missed a lot. We don't discuss GOT much but we've had some discussion about TFTB and we used to have regular OC and even streams. Things have slowed down now, but we still have streams on weekends and I try to make some OC from time to time.

>>28840

>How the hell is this place still alive?

Tales from the Borderlands is actually cool and good

Movie/TV nights

Finding new reasons to hate TWDGS2

Making OC

Forming a tight little community

Threads not needing to be update every few hours to avoid being deleted

etc. etc.

Welcome back anon.

>>28842

This place is a lot quieter these days but people still post semi-regularly, more so when new episode of a TT game comes out. Occasionally we'll be joined by new people or an old /ttgg/ anon will return.

>>28843

>>28844

I don't know how strict things are around here, but I was the anon who made the Pass Me That Can and Clear Shot vocaroos.

>>28845

It's been a long while since I've heard any of the vocaroos. Which ones were those again?

>>28845

Oh man, we could use more funposting around here. Things are pretty lax around here since coming under new management earlier in the year. Don't worry too much if you're responsible for l-lewd things.

>>28846

The ones with zipper noises and lots of groaning. I'll re-upload and when I have the time.

I also used to shitpost about skittles.

>>28848

>skittles

Oh man, it's been forever since I've seen anyone post about that. I should do something with Skittles sometime.

>Lee will never slip Doug the DD as an after-Skittles treat

>Doug will never banang! in response until he ceases to funkshun

>He will never have to down pint after pint of FJ just to feel better again

>>28851

>Doug

>Pure

Please, we all know what he lets people do to his bp in exchange for a power bar.

>>28848

While you're here, you wouldn't mind putting all your /ttgg/ images in a zip or rar and uploading it somewhere would you? I had to get a new computer recently and lost all my images as a result. Both the 4chan and 8chan archives are down so I'm relying on other another anons to recover them.

>>28854

The day is just beginning for me so I'll have to do it later. My folder needs some organizing, too.

>>28855

Alright, I'll be going to sleep soon so I have time to wait.

>>28854

What's the best place to upload a folder? Mine's not great, it's mostly screencaps but has a few reaction images but I can upload it right now.

>>28857

Dropbox or Mega.nz.

Okay, I have this. Sorry if it isn't what you're looking for.

https://mega.nz/#fm/MhRwxAbD

>>28859

Isn't that link incomplete?

>>28859

That link sends me to the mega.nz login page.

I think Minecraft could've turned out better if it wasn't so serious. I didn't have high hopes for this game, but I though it would be at least a fast paced, fun, lighthearted adventure. Instead the writing is just as serious as anything else Telltale has made recently, with no humor or funny moments, not even puns. TFTB has more humor, and aside from Noone will remember this, nothing in the game even made me chuckle. Basically, it's a kids game being written as if it were a game for adults.

I also wouldn't mind seeing a return to Telltale's old formula here, with some choice based mechanics where appropriate. Point & click adventure games are about, well the adventure, and seeing as how exploration plays a huge role in Minecraft's gameplay, I think it would've been better if Story Mode played more like a traditional point & click adventure game.

>>28863

I'm always here

>>28866

I've just gotten good at being anonymous.

sorry

>>28865

Hi anon.

>>28867

Have you played/watched Minecraft yet?

>>28868

Aye, already played it and discussed it with you lot.

>>28869

Seems like it's Telltale's biggest flop to date for this place. People here seem to give even less of a shit about it than GOT. Like I said before it's a game for kids, but the writing is like it's a game for adults. I honestly think only Minecraft fans have the possibility of getting into it. Not even kids, only Minecraft fans.

>>28870

I still haven't finished watching the episode. I started losing interest when it became clear to me what kind of game this was. It's not terrible but it's inoffensive and bland which is kind of worse in a way. I guess it had to be if Telltale wanted it to sell.

>>28870

Yup, it's kinda screwy. Has some technical issues too, even more so when selecting stuff.

>>28871

They're trying to play it safe because they expect autistic minecraft kiddies are going to play it.

At this point I'm only gonna finish it because I've already bought it and because of not-Lee, or whatever that character's name is.

>>28871

I hope things pick up from episode 2 on. I didn't expect to like this game, but I'd rather like something than not. If it doesn't get better than hopefully it'll get worse enough to make fun of it. Admittedly I do like how episode 5's title card is just a sign that says "The next episode".

>>28863

I'm coming more often

>>28881

Holy shit, calm down dude. It'll come eventually and it'll be really disappointing

>>28880

Here's the trailer for those who haven't seen it yet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xTTSyHkCuo

>>28881

The week after TFTB comes out, we'll get GOT.

>>28885

…So seriously noone is gonna talk about the trailer? What do you think will happen in the episode? Who do you think the masked man is? Will Sasha & Vaughn be determinant? Will we be able to kill Vallory? How much of an impact will the last choice from the previous episode have?

>>28886

I think Sasha will definitely survive, but they've been barely using Vaughn so it'd make sense for them to make him determinate (unfortunately).

>>28881

>shittiest release yet

Besides S2?

>>28886

>Who do you think the masked man is?

Felix

>Will Sasha & Vaughn be determinant?

I doubt it. A story like this shouldn't (potentially) end on a low note.

>Will we be able to kill Vallory?

She's definitely gonna bite it but it probably won't be the player who gets to kill her.

>How much of an impact will the last choice from the previous episode have?

No idea but the pessimist in me says not much.

Are we advertising yet?

>>28890

Yes. You haven't seen the ad yet? I've seen it several times already.

>>28891

Nope. We're advertising on /tv/, /co/, and /v/ right? I haven't been to those boards.

>>28893

We're advertising globally actually. If you refresh the page enough times, you should see it at the top, even on this board.

>>28895

It doesn't look like her.

>>28896

Sweet, thanks for the heads up.

>>28897

I'm pretty sure it's her. Her face and even the color scheme look the same. The only difference are her clothes and her hair.

>>28900

Me too, although I'll be happy with any activity season 3 brings.

>>28895

What happened to her dreads? :(

>>28907

I'd sex her with or without

>>28908

Poor bastard

Play what, exactly?

>>28908

Did you buy it from the Telltale store? You won't be able to play it early in the morning if you bought it on Steam since that version releases after noon.

>>28910

Tales from the Borderlands obviously.

>>28910

The TftB finale presumably.

>>28911

>>28912

Oh shit, I forgot about that.

>>28914

I sort of separate S2 Clem into two different characters in my head. The first is the way she was written in S2 and the one I don't like. The second is how I wish she'd turned out, a more natural and logical progression from S1 Clem. There's some cognitive dissonance and retconning involved but I still really want to love her character even after how much it's been derailed. At least there's always S1 Clem.

>>28911

I pirate it, it usually comes up around 2-3am PST

MC:SM was kinda boring.

>>28918

Yeah. Like I mentioned earlier, it would've been better if it were lighthearted, fast-paced and humorous. I doubt telltale will change the tone of the game in later episodes.

>>28919

That was kinda what bugged me. I have never played Minecraft, but from what I understand its fanbase mostly consists of a bunch of autistic people making really stupid complicated shit. I feel like it should have been more self aware. Maybe taken more ques from the Lego Movie or something. That was something for kids that actually managed to be funny.

I liked the customizable main character, at least, even though the male and female Jesse don't really seem to alter the game that much as far as I can tell.

But…yeah…I was really unimpressed with the writing.

>>28920

I hope some unresolved sexual tension (you know, a family friendly version of it) comes up between Petra and Jesse if you choose to be a male Jesse. That could generate some humor.

>>28921

I was under the impression Petra is the love interest for males and Lucas is the love interest for females. Though, playing a girl Jesse, I can say there was barely anything there.

So how's everyone expecting Michonne to turn out?

>>28923

I have even lower expectations than Minecraft. I couldn't be less interested in a comic or TV show canon character.

>>28923

Quite frankly, I don't even care how it turns out. I have even less interest in it than Minecraft.

>>28924

>>28925

Then here's another question: how long do you think it'll last? When Telltale says it'll be a 3-part mini-series do you think that means it'll be released as three episodes over a few months maybe more?

>>28926

I expect a minimum of a two month gap between episodes, if they can stick to a consistent schedule, unlike with TFTB. So it should be finished by next summer the latest.

I finally have a rehashed models list for GOT & TFTB:

Rhys & August

Vaughn & Felix

Vasquez, Hyperion Employees, & Bigby Wolf

Tector & The Stranger

Asher, Britt, Duncan, Erik, Lord Forrester, Lord Whitehill, Malcolm, Norren, Royland, Thermund, Rodrik, Bolton soldiers, Andros & Morgryn

Ethan & Tom

Gared, Bowen, Jon Snow & Ramsay Snow (?)

Elaena, Elissa & Cersei (?)

Mira & Talia (?)

TWD's done airing, did anyone watch it?

Stream in 30 minutes.

>>28929

Didn't watch it sadly, I hope it was good.

>>28932

Thanks for the stream, the episode was great!

>>28932

Man, I forgot how dumb and schlocky this show often gets. I'm not sure if that episode was "good" or not. It was entertaining I guess. Are the comics like this nowadays?

>>28936

When exactly is her birthday again? She'd be turning 21 this year right?

>>28936

I can't wait for a repeat of last year, with all the petty arguing and shitposting.

>>28937

Her birthday is exactly one week from now, so next Monday. Yes, she'd be 21.

>>28938

I wouldn't worry about that, nobody that escalated that situation is around anymore. It'll be a lot less lively than last year, but given what happened, and given that we're under new management, I'd say things will turn out better this year than last.

How do you think our choices might culminate in the TftB finale? So far they've seemed mostly ineffectual aside from some cosmetic changes, an alternate scene, and the context of Jack's takeover.

>>28940

I choose to run Hyperion because it feels like Rhys is more in control of the situation than if you reject it in which case it feels like Rhys is being held hostage. We'll see how different things are tomorrow, but I wonder how our choices will impact the finale as well.

>>28941

Me too but mostly because I knew Jack was taking over anyway whether Rhys agreed or not. It still felt far more significant than any of the other "hard" choices so far because the story built up to it. Here's hoping it actually pays off and isn't swept aside by the vault storyline.

So if you buy a game through the TellTale store, you can download the new episodes at midnight, correct?

>>28943

Correct

>>28943

Yeah. I've never bought a telltale game through their store before, but it's what I've heard from others who have.

>>28944

For her 12th birthday a video game. For her 21st birthday a dildo.

>>28938

>>28944

Aw yes, an excuse to buy my favorite kind of cake: Tres leches!

I wonder if Clem would like dairy products?

Anyways,

>12

A Calvin and Hobbes comic book.

>21

That's tougher…maybe a vacation of some kind? Europe?

Besides the obvious alcoholic gift

>>28950

Any predictions in terms of that? I don't mean to offend, but it doesn't seem like Vaughn has much, uh, "story inertia". In a perfect world, what could he accomplish in the story?

>>28952

It's been said before but damn, Tae's drawings of Clementine are on fucking point. Her renditions of her were a beacon in the storm of terrible Clem fanart during S2.

>>28953

>What about if he turned into a Psycho?

Better than not being there at all I guess. Do you think they'd actually make that swerve in the last episode?

hey lads, twd s2 is no longer the worst episodic adventure game of all time

now that LiS episode 5 is out, they've claimed that title. the entire episode is wacky shit and fan service, mostly comprised of crackpot fan theories.

>>28955

Oh shit I almost forgot about the LiS finale.

>they've claimed that title

It'd have to be really, really fucking bad to do that, S2's got almost no redeeming features. I'll go see what the fuss is about right now.

>>28956

TWD S2 was trash, but some of the endings redeemed it somewhat.

LiS was amazing, but the "endings" made it trash. They pulled a Mass Effect 3 with a "pick an ending", regardless of all your choices.

At least with Telltale you know from the get go it won't matter, but with Dontnod they led us on for the entire game up until the end.

>>28957

>Mass Effect 3

>multiple "endings"

I see now. That's pretty fucking bad. I hope TftB doesn't pull the same shit.

Though nothing will be as awful as S2 to me based on how it handled Clementine, and that's not taking into account everything else wrong with it.

''Okay Jefferson suddenly acting like a crazy asshole is throwing me off. I know he's a serial killer and creepo but did his personality have to completely change?

>>28959

Whoops, screwed up that spoiler.

"You're going to die, motherfucker." Christ, this dialogue

>>28961

>>28959

LiS was always cringey, but this episode just shits all over everything. It is pure nonsense.

Anyway, I'm tired of shitposting about that game on halfchan, did anyone get to play or watch TfTB finale? How was it?

>TftB finale

>Plot makes sense

>Did not see the twist coming

>Satisfying emotional payoff

>Happy endings all around

>Choices actually do matter

>My husbando only got hotter

>My ship is still afloat

I really needed that after LiS. Telltale did good.

>>28963

it was fun being a mighty morphin vault hunter gortyzoid.

>>28955

>>28957

>the entire episode is wacky shit and fan service

>"pick an ending", regardless of all your choices

So basically it's exactly like TWDS2 episode 5.

>>28962

>did anyone get to play or watch TfTB finale?

I'm downloading it right now.

>>28963

I'm not reading those spoilers, but I knew this episode couldn't be bad. Can't wait to play it.

>>28965

At least some of the S2 endings were good, the LiS ones were predictable cliches.

I also just finished the Borderlels finale, and quite frankly it was pretty damn good. More graphically shaky than the other episodes, lots of animations resetting oddly, NPC models teleporting in and during one of the final scenes some twat got in the way of the camera.

also I had to do the "rhys x sasha" thing twice after picking silence for some reason

I like how they didn't shy away from lampshading the likely dropped plot of Zer0 looking for the Gortys too.

>I've abandoned that mission

>My queue was too full

Then again, maybe that was supposed to be the joke all along. Can't really tell.

>>28972

>tfw I couldn't choose Zer0

What's the verdict on TFTB for you guys? Where does it rank in your list of TT games?

>>28974

I'd play it if I had internet from this century.

2 hours ETA.

>>28975

You're in for a treat once you're able to play it. That ETA is about the same length of the episode.

>>28977

I had the same team but with August instead of Zer0. I wanted to choose characters that were as closely related to Fiona as possible.

>>28980

I know there's a dialogue option about "I'll let you go if you help me" or some shit, but I don't know if it leads anywhere.

>>28980

Rhys finds her locked in a cell not long after escaping Jack's office. He's given four dialogue options, two of which free from the cell and others to leave her there. He then has to save her one last time when destroying the core.

>>28981

That's the one.

>>28983

Yeah the ending was weird. What was up with Rhys and Fiona vanishing after touching the chest? What was in that chest?

>>28986

Someone never played Divinity: Original Sin.

>>28984

The lead-up to a new Borderlands by gearbox where you play as Rhys Fiona Sasha or Vaughn, that's what's in the box.

So who are all the secret characters you can recruit, how much does it cost and are there any cash pickups in Ep5, because I didn't find any.

>>28990

Oh….oh god. Okay, so I wasn't missing anything. Those damn silhouettes lied. If it was Lilith or something like that I would have actually been interested.

I'll be honest, I'm really disappointed, not just because I would have preferred it be someone else, but because I was really proud of how Telltale had totally kept CLAPTR4P out of this game. It had been such a refreshing breath of air from the rest of the series…

>>28990

I'm gonna need to see that shit.

>>28994

Yes, yes I did….I guess sometimes you expect too much…

>>28995

At least he's optional, even if they do just spring him on you.

>>28996

True.

I'm mildly curious about what sort of stuff Felix does, but not enough to play through all five episodes again to see.

Post your choices anons

>>28998

I played as the good guy, and only made good guy choices and chose friends over money.

This is how I play every game with choices, really. The only game I purposely made bad choices was Spec Ops the line.

>>29001

>garbage choices

>>29002

>chose Janey

How did I know

>>29003

>implying it's not best team

Team lesbian + guy with lesbian piercings ftw

>>29005

Wait, what? What's four people…you can pick more than three?

>>29006

If you choose Felix, turns out he doesn't come with you. Instead he gives you the money that supposedly blew up in episode 1, and you can use the money to hire a mystery vault hunter who turns out to be Claptrap.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dy0oKxogXYA

>>29007

So…is it possible for me to load up the end of the first episode, save Felix and then replay episode 5?

>>29009

Nope, you've gotta play the rest all over again

>>29009

You could do that, but I'm sure your choices for the rest of the episodes would be randomized, thus affecting the other characters you can choose.

>>29010

>>29011

Yeah…I'm not doing that. Oh well. Maybe some day I'll feel like replaying the whole thing over from scratch.

>>29012

I honestly feel like redoing it from episode 3 on just so I can have the option of having Zer0 on my team. But I already played through the entire game to get caught up for the finale so I'm Borderlands'd out. Maybe one day when I have absolutely nothing else to do.

I don't really care about the Borderlands main series but I do wonder much impact Tales will have on a sequel. For a spin-off game it changed a lot about its source material's universe.

I wonder, how does Tales compare to the rest of the Borderlands series? Would someone who's played all the games say that TFTB is better than the others? I know it's hard to compare because they're completely different kinds of games, but still…

>>29014

I'd imagine TellTale had to get the Okay from Gearbox in order to make such huge changes. I remember reading an article posted here a while back that said something to the effect of TellTale came to Gearbox with a plan, but gearbox nixxed the idea and said they already had plans for the franchise they were welcome to expand on for tales so as to keep it canon without having alternate timelines/universes. Assuming this hasn't changed, it sets up a great BL3, unless they want TellTale to make a season 2 first.

>>29017

Those stats change fast. Last time I checked half of players shipped Rhysha and now most people ship it.

>>29018

What exactly do you have to do to make Zero available? Something about proving you were a great vault hunter?

>>29020

It said something about identifying yourself as a vault hunter, so it's probably some dialogue choice from episode 1. Honestly I'm lucky to have gotten it, I don't even remember that conversation, but I was so happy to have him as an option. Also, Rhysha is the best ship :)

>>29020

You have to tell Mordecai in episode 3 that you're a vault hunter.

>>29016

>Assuming this hasn't changed, it sets up a great BL3, unless they want TellTale to make a season 2 first.

This is what I'm most curious about. What comes next, BL3 set in the post-TftB Pandora or TftB S2? Both even?

>>28980

I didn't get the option either. I think it only happens if you don't stun against her in episode 4.

>>28984

>What was in that chest?

A sequel hook.

>>28990

>>29007

The horror! The horror!

>>29021

>I'm lucky to have gotten it

Me too. I was almost one person short. Wonder what would have happened if we couldn't recruit anyone.

>>29025

That brings up an interesting point. Couldn't you technically piss enough people off to have less than three people help you?

Got Ep6 comes out on Nov 17th. You hype?

https://www.telltalegames.com/blog/100973/game-of-thrones-season-finale-coming-nov-17th-episode-1-now-free-to-download

>>28990

It seems I picked one of the must unpopular teams. Felix, Cassius, Athena and August.

The battle lines of Cassius were totally worth it.

>>29027

meh

>>29027

Not really…

>>29029

>>29030

But why?

>>29031

It's really bland and uninteresting. Also poorly written. Plus the dude who fucked up the family the most is untouchable, so what's the point?

>>29031

Because it's been an aggressively boring series and the end of Ep 5 was complete bullshit.

>dream about posting on /ttgg/

How weird! Anyway, did you guys love Vaughn's new look or what

>>29034

I was a little annoyed how long they dragged on the obvious reveal, but it was worth it for the beard.

>>29034

He looks great. You can't go wrong with a thick, well-groomed, beard. Sasha's new look is really cute too.

I'm makin' a new thread right now. Sorry, I was busy earlier today. I did not expect this thread to reach the bump limit this soon with how slow we've been lately.

>>29024

You can actually still get that option even if you did that. I noticed it this time when I replayed.

>>29027

Damn, they really dropped the ball on that release date.

>>29028

I can concur with what you say.

>>29031

GOT is really lacking and showcases all of the worst telltale habits and tropes. Also forgettable.

>>29034

What happened in your dream? I couldn't believe it when I saw him. He looks great.

New thread >>29040

Sorry this took so long, I was a little distracted.
