So much complaining here

Every post is either "this bugged me" or "I'm right you're wrong" style bickering.

Can we all just take a moment to remember "why" we all keep coming back here? This is the first single series forum I've visited daily for any length of time and it's because I freaking LOVE these games.

People are saying that the characters are underdeveloped... and now that I've seen that complaint it's hard not to look for that and notice it, however when I was playing the game each character "felt" alive to me. I've never seen a game come so close to creating real people in my mind. Every time somebody did something in this series I felt like I was discovering something new about that character. These games have pulled me into emotional states that no other game has even came close to putting me into. It's the first series of games that I've played that reminded me of just how "human" I am and it made me feel "alive" to be reminded of that.

Lee and Clementine are my single most favorite videogame characters ever, Clem especially so. I don't care what people say about season 2, from my perspective she is quite possibly the single best protagonist in any game to date. She's a complex creature like, like actual people are, and I, for one, found her to be very convincing and believable as a hardened kid that's seen a lot of shit in a world gone wrong. I've never flinched so hard when a game character was in danger or had my heart sink so much when I saw a character break into tears. I've never rooted so hard for a character to succeed wanting so much for a videogame character to overcome her struggles.

I too have posted gripes I've had with one thing or another, however my nature is to be critical especially when it comes to things that I care about. When so many other aspects of something are excellent it makes it difficult to not see a particular flaw. While I do hope that some minor things are addressed in future seasons, if anything made in the future matches the quality of seasons 1 or 2 I will be happy.

These games are brilliant masterpieces and I, for one, will never forget them.

Tell me, why do "you" keep coming back here every day (for those of you that do)? What do "you" think these games are doing right and what is it about them that made you enjoy them so much?

  • People love to complain and argue. It's much more natural behaviour for many people than writing your compliments to the TTG and thanking them for many enjoyable moments which we have spent with Season 2.

  • Why I keep coming back here? I have no god damn idea, you are right this place is filled with negativity for such a good game, but that could be due to some of the regulars posting the same hate filled comments over and over again. Looking on the bright side this website is performing better now than ever before and interesting stuff gets posted from time to time like a missing detail in the game or some fan-art that's pretty cool. The reason I will keep coming back to TWD or any Telltale game is for some damn good story telling, loved playing video games since I was kid but loved the stories in them even more.

  • People nitpick at everything.

  • Today I ate a sandwich made of Ham, turkey breast and Smoked chicken. When I was done eating it, i realized it had no mustard on it. I was upset and still am.

  • Funny how this is more interesting than the OP

    take an upvote

    Also, mustard should be a given

  • Are forums not intended for discussion?

  • People post their opinions. It's what a forum is for numbnuts.

  • I agree but meh arguing is normal. You get used to it :p.

    Nonono no they aren't!

    XD

    Okay, I'm not saying "don't complain." What I'm saying is don't let the complaints make you forget why you're here in the first place.

    Reading several hundred lines about problems A-Z can make it easy to forget that you loved the games in the first place.

  • Ahh... good point. Sometimes I get on here and all I want to do is complain, whether it be Kenny, Jane, questionable deaths. Something this character did, something this other character didn't do. I will now say something positive.

    "Lee, ah, that guy had a fire in him. I knew he would find you. I half expected him to be walking up right next to you. You guys were like two peas in a pod. " -Kenny about Lee.

    Lee Everett was a great man.

  • I'll tell you why. When you produce such a masterpiece like season 1 was, people are usually expecting really good results

  • "Reading several hundred lines about problems A-Z can make it easy to forget that you loved the games in the first place."

    I disagree. I constantly bitch and complain about Season 2 and how it's total garbage.

    It's made me really appreciate the first season for what it was. Not shit.

  • You're using too much mustard if it drowns other flavours or alternatively you are using too strong mustard for your taste. There's also milder mustard, which might be more suitable for your taste. And avoid the cheapest ones, those are horrible.

  • The amount of threads bitching about Kenny is getting tiresome.

    I liked it more than season 1... so.... sorry you didn't like it I guess?

  • Oh OK! I will try a more mild and expensive mustard :D

    When I do I'll come back here and let you know if I liked it, thanks! XD

  • I take it that Chie Satonaka is your favorite character?

    You're welcome :D

    Many people don't know how to use mustard, ketchup or other condiments properly. Those are meant to be used to give some additional flavour, not to drown all other flavours. :)

  • Well well well. Trying a hot dog with mustard spread extra lightly on the bun instead of on the dog itself.

    Is actually pretty good :D

    Is crap normal mustard that I already had at home, but hey, you're right. I just needed way less of it.

  • I've met a few people on here who know of the Persona series, though not the entire Megami Tensei franchise.

    Cool. Chie is my favorite character from Persona 4 as well. :D

  • If we're talking about Persona 4 specifically, I agree. If we're talking about Persona as a whole, I'd probably go with Makoto Yuki or Tatsuya Suou as the best.

    Demi-fiend wrecks all of them though.

    threads complaining about the complaining in fact there are too many of those as well

    Well... well... in each of these threads there is certainly too much complaining about threads complaining about the complaining, and before you say I'm wrong consider that there aren't very many comments complaining about comments that complain about threads that complain about everybody's complaining, so stop your complaining about my complaining about all of the complaining, or else maybe I'll start complaining!

  • checks the game

    Woops! Devil Survivor. I guess that's not technically a persona game? It is a Sin Megami Tensei game.

    I played a persona game on the PSX for sure though I couldn't tell you which one, because it's been so long that I remember very little of it.

  • If it was one of the PSX games, then I might have been Revelations: Persona or Persona 2: Eternal Punishment. Both were pretty good during their time. :D
