I personally liked playing a fatherly figure to Clem in the first game when she's still a little girl. I thought Lee and Clem had an amazing chemistry. I briefly started the second game, but kind of lost interest after a couple of hours.
Yeah, I know what you mean. I was also very sad when I went against Clem (I couldn't save her from one zombie, I killed both farm dudes, because I had no idea zombies were coming to them, and lied to her about her parents). But I have lost the save file, so I take it as an opportunity to repent for my sins
@Poryg All TellTale games are buggy. I've had some of their games revert to some sort of default choices for no reason. I've also had QTEs bug out and not recognise button input. Their best game by far is Tales From the Borderlands.
Yeah
I don't really mind choices reverting, but the save files bugs are annoying. I actually have to play the game on one go looks like, because otherwise I can't play it any further (black screen upon loading).
I just don't like Clem all that much. She's a Mary Sue and she exists purely to tug at heart strings. If she were removed from the plot after the first chapter of episode 1, the story literally loses nothing. I kind of wish there was an option to feed her to the zombies so I could've played the game without her pointlessness.
It's kind of a shame too, 'cause if she were written better, I could've liked her. Could've even enjoyed her company. But, she is written as a Mary Sue and written purely into the story to manipulate the audience emotions. As a writer, I see this is cheap, and as a means to cover for terrible writing... Which most of the Telltale Games have.
@Tai_MT Rule one of TellTale games: your choices do not matter. Their games are essentially linear movies in which you're sometimes called upon to push a few buttons. The fraudulent disclaimer at the start of a new game which states "this story is tailored to how you play, your choices will alter the way the story unfolds" (not a direct quote) is nonsense.
@Tai_MT People moan about Quantic Dream (the devs of Beyond Two Souls, Heavy Rain, and Indigo Prophecy) for making interactive movies, but at least their interactive movies have multiple endings and only a few fail states. Let Clem get eaten by zombies and you're just forced to replay that section over and over again until you complete it.
@Tai_MT Saying that, I do like Tales From the Borderlands because of its silly humour. I liked the characters in that far more than in their other games, too.
I enjoyed "The Wolf Among Us", but I really liked the setting of that one. The overall story was... less interesting than Bigby as a character. I just wish the games wrote their characters a lot better.
Alright, I managed to get the savefile to work through compatibility mode with win 98/ME... And after playing for a bit the game started lagging for no good reason (I normally played that one without lags). So I went to main menu and boom! Savefile deleted, save 1 messed and no chapters. Like what the heck...
I liked the setting of Wolf Among Us, too. Unfortunately, as you said, the story was kinda ****e. I disliked TWD season 2 and New frontier. I also disliked their Game of Thrones game. Also not a fan of them releasing physical discs of games for the PS4 which contain only a single episode and a season pass. It makes it difficult to judge whether the disc you're buying is the full game or not.
@Poryg No game is worth such a hassle. xD I know you'd like to play it for yourself, but at this point you might be better off just watching a longplay of it.
@Poryg Don't worry, the second season has really nothing to do with the first. Nothing really carries over - actually, I don't think anything does from what I remember. You play as a slightly older Clem, and no matter your choices Kenny reappears even if he dies; you also start the season with Omid and his girlfriend regardless of ending, too. So, just go right on to Season 2.
Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
