Do you think Telltale's season premiere will impress?

Telltale has had a good track record of first episodes, at least since the first season of The Walking Dead. But their 3 most recent series (Minecraft, Michonne, Batman) have had the least praise and the most criticism amongst fans and reviewers. Do you think that trend will continue into TWD3, or will it be as well-received as the premieres before them?

    I still have high hopes.

    Despite the rocky release, Batman seems pretty solid overall, if you ask me. As long as the issues from the Batman premiere are cleared up for S3, it should be smooth sailing for its release. But besides that, I'm pretty sure most of the guys who worked on Seasons 1 and 2 are working on 3, which gives me confidence in how it's going to turn out. From what I can tell, the teams that worked on Michonne and Minecraft were made up of quite a few newcomers to the studio. I saw quite a few new names in the credits for both series. Most of the criticisms towards the first episode of Batman seem to be on the technical side of things, although they've patched most of the performance issues I believe. But for the most part, I haven't seen it getting too bad of reviews. Average score seems to be sitting around a 7.5 or so, not too far off from the premieres for TWD, TWAU and Tales, which all sit at around an 8.

    Yes, I have high hopes. Edit: Deltino already said high hopes. How embarrassing.
