Telltale Games Shutting Down

"Feminist icon."

So iconic that when the talk is about iconic vidya characters and somebody mentions "Clem" everyone thinks of a retarded Grineer from Warframe.

So hawt!

The puzzle part was the gameplay in those games, while in their more recent "games" they took the focus off that. Rather than solve the issue of these puzzles often having solutions that make no fucking sense and solutions that would make sense not even fucking work because the designer didn't intend it, they just dumbed it down immensely.

Point-and-Clicks also had a much more open world. You could visit a lot of different place at any given time, and the story progressed only after finishing stupid puzzles.

Later Telltale games on the other hand are linear rides that occasionally pause so you can have your character wander around aimlessly in a sad attempt to make you think this is still a point-and-click adventure where you can interact with shit and find items.

The narrative part of TT's games got dumbed down too. Often times you'll be asked to make a choice in the game and it will affect fuck all in the grand scheme of things. Make X choice, the guy dies, make Y choice, the guy dies too. Fucking GAY.

I've legit heard fan excuses along the line of "But the guy dies later with Y choice, so it counts".

The beta cucks who defend this shit are fucking gay and should be sent to death camps. They're part of why the industry is getting fagged up with this walking simulator bullshit. They take it personally if you attack this garbage in any way, too.

I'm sick of narrative experiences using gaming tech being passed off as "games." They are so fucking not games. They are fucking cancer. And I am honestly tired of it.

Once again glorious Nippon has it right. This sort of thing is called a visual novel and is in a separate category from other games. And most of them are porn.

Thank you! And speaking of visual novels, the only ones I ever bothered playing were the 3 Zero Escape games. All 3 had genuinely great puzzles, and the focus was clearly on the puzzles, not the deep plotz shit. I mean the deep plotz shit was there, but it was clearly just a framework for the puzzle stuff. I'm glad they at least made the stories intriguing anyway, even if they didn't always gel.

Huh, I don't think those are pure VNs if they have actual gameplay. Guess they used the VN portions for stylistic and/or budget reasons.

And most of them require about two orders of magnitude less people than Telltale's games.

If that ain't the damn truth. You look up the teams that made these games and it's almost always just a handful. Sometimes just ONE. As for the gameplay bit, I don't know about 100% PURE BLOODED visual novels but the Phoenix Wright games are considered visual novels and those have a little bit of gameplay.

You guys are getting BTFO.

Wonder how all those employees who aren't getting severance feel about this. Presumably they aren't releasing the final episodes for FREE.
