JK I just wanted to claim first post
Only 2 more months til I get to play it on my iPad
thats when biff runs in and shouts "MCFLY!" and everyone stares at HIM. and he's like..."What?...." and he leaves.
then Marty gets the car, and instead of the past, goes to 2015 and starts a relationship with his future daughter....who no doubt the two WILL have kids that look like their parents.
all in all,...great episode. love the cliffhanger with the future marty banging on his daughters door shouting "you better not have a guy in there!" and past marty climbing out the window.
That sounds awesome, cant wait to play it
Such a dumb post. Hang yourself.
And now we will have to wait an undetermined time to see how it is finished.
Not my favorite episode
Marty has to stop him from doing so, but now lacks the Delorean to do so. Probably will have to team up with Young Emmett or another Doc.
Who ever expected a BTTF game where you fight Doc?
Overall, I'd say this episode works as a setting for the final episode, if nothing else.
I'm wondering how TT is going to fit all the loose ends in the final episode, though.
The times you get stuck it's generally because of a hot spot you didn't mouse over the first time you explored an area. Once you have all the facts and the complete overview, you know exactly what to do and the puzzles are solved instantly. Honestly...TTG can do so much better.
Overall the episode is one of the least entertaining ones, fixing Doc's love life is not the most brilliant story concept. Personally I was bored out of my skull playing this, and it was mostly due to boring dialogue that I had to sift through, and I was put off by the voice acting by most characters... except for Chris Lloyd. He's great of course, but I just never got into the actual game world, I felt. Not the same way I have been with Sam & Max and Monkey Island. Sound and voices really did seem way out of synch in places and it did put a damper on the atmosphere.
It has just gotten so bland...it saddens me. Telltale had the opportunity to take a brilliant franchise like Back to the Future and make it into something truly spectacular, but all they made was a second-rate product, doomed to be inhabiting the $5 discount bin of your local obscure retail outlet in 2 years time.
Well I'm sorry I can't give you a more positive review. Other people might have something positive to say, but I just can't.
Everything is just starting to take a dark tone, and suddenly the probablility of an Happy Ending is not that high.
Anyway, I hope the real doc will be featured at some point.
It is the shortest ep in my opinion. I hope the last one is way longer...at least story wise.
Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed it.
Great episode. It started a little slow but I thought the 2nd half of the story was great. It really did a nice job mimicking the emotional tone of the movies imo, particularly BttF 3. I love the fact that Biff isn't the main antagonist anymore. By the 3rd episode, the last battle between Marty and Biff after Biff breaks free from his mind-control felt really forced, so this was nice to have a Biff break. The conflict between Doc and Marty is much more interesting than the usual 'Biff being evil' is.
The puzzles were generally fairly easily, but there were a couple that had me stumped for a bit. The controls were also still a bit wonky, particularly in Young Doc's lab.
Can't wait to see the conclusion.
One of the dioramas at the expo.
Oh ya, with the T-Rex and the Volcano.
Yeah, it is kind of sad how Edna eventually will turn out in Marty's timeline, but I agree with him: Everything else is wrong. It's not how it's supposed to be.
What I really liked is the plot twist with FCB. He kind of reminds me of Magneto...he isn't bad for the hell of it, he just thinks what he's doing is the best for everyone, but he will screw up everything in the progress.
The characters were kind of weak. Most pointless of all was the cameo with Kid Tannen and Detective Parker. They didn't even get one single line of dialogue. They just walk by.
And I missed the humour. Last three episodes felt funnier to me.
Overall, I was disappointed with Episode 4.
It had its moments and I enjoyed the general idea of it but I was disappointed at the wasted potential. I was looking forward to re-building the DeLorean with Doc, attending the Science Expo (which seems to be saved for Episode Five), recruiting Jennifer to help with your escape (Her role was a lot more down played compared to what the trailer implied) and/or exploring more of Hill Valley.
The puzzles were dead easy as usual but at least they were somewhat creative. I could join the vast amount of players that go on and on about the simplistic difficulty but I'll give everyone a break.
I don't really care for the direction of the final episode. I expected so much more from Episode Four and I was sort of hoping we'd have old Doc back by now. I guess I shouldn't make any judgements on Episode Five before it's released.
when did we see kid or danny? I must have missed it.
I didn't really care to see Edna get a better timeline either. Why do all the characters have to get a happy ending? In the trilogy, Biff gets a weaker ending than his characters original timeline. Edna is not a good person, look what she does in the future. Doc blames science but she's using her own free will to remove everyone elses free will including docs. I dont think she deserves a better timeline than the one she's an old lady in the future crammed into that apartment.
When you first go to Emmett's lab, Kid's escorted out by Danny who both pass you without saying a word.
The game itself, easy as usual, im kind of ambivalent about the game, but getting to know or re-discover the characters is always fun.
okay thanks. I was actually filling up my coffee at that time so i briefly heard it but didnt see it.
And i dont mind these cameos at all, keeps everything interconnected. No different than the brief shot of buford in part II.
I was hoping for a bit more challenge so that I could spend more time per episode. Compared to Tales of monkey island, these episodes have been childs play.
But anyway, really great game, I wish I could already start Ep.5
Part 2
Part 3
Part 1
Part 4.
Im sorry TTG. But Ep 4 was just not great at all.
I deleted it before you responded because I hate getting into pointless flame wars.
Lol Ok.
Course what I didn't like the most was
Overall though it was good. It does leave me worried about the ending though. There are some major loose ends to tie up so that last episode is gonna have to be a long episode to fit them all in.
I get a sense that the storyline won´t please everyone but in my case I really felt this episode, got me emotional about Marty´s and Doc relationship. It took a little commodities that with a longer episode could it have been more interesting but I really felt the emotional complexity of this episode! because that´s what it is, this one is not about the thrills but the human connections between the characters and that is pretty rare for a computer game. Great job telltale, eager for the next and final chapter where I think, with all the setting, will be a roller coaster. OUTATIME will get us where no BTTF story has lead us before. At least it will be different and daring, just like science right?
The first part where you escape the Citizien Plus Center was great.
His guitar was finally a major part of Marty again, and him messing around with electronics and hooking it up with the intercom was enjoyable.
Jennifer making fun of his underwear and saying hes "a little short for a Stormtrooper" was great. haha
And the highlight with Marty jumping down with his guitar to save Citizien Brown, felt like one of those ridiculously overacted scenes of an Action movie, but then when it failed it was just freaking hilarious.
After that it honestly became a bit meh...
The story didnt progress and nothing was really funny either.
I just kept going while being a bit bored.
Then when the story finally progressed again, we got "to be continued".
the fifth and last episode, (well its never the last is it) but yeah it will rock!!
