The thing that surprises me the most is how Telltale isn't even given the benefit of the doubt

edited December 2014 in Minecraft: Story Mode

You would think that after all the success Telltale has had recently that they would have earned the trust of their so called fans but I guess not lol

look there is nothing wrong with hating the idea of a telltale Minecraft game but at least wait for a trailer or more info before before declaring it the worst thing ever

and at least have a little "Faith"

  • When you go for a cash grab like Minecraft you're aiming for a BIGGER NEW audience, not the already established Telltale fans. So they barely give a fuck about what we think.

    Exactly

    And believe me I'm keeping an open mind, However I was 100% for pretty much all for every other series they've done including for example borderlands which I havnt touched as the world doesnt interest me however I understand the potential etc. but.... this..... Its basing a story based game in a world with no lore or story

    The audience they're aiming is one of the worst fanbase's in existence and you're right about them not giving a fuck what we think.

  • Well, I wasn't really thrilled with how TWD S2 turned out, that kind of lowered the bar a little bit.

  • Or, alternatively, you're being entitled by acting pissed over TT's artistic choice and freedom by claiming that they're screwing their fans and should abandon their vision and pander to some selfish, disrepectful fans?

    I agree it's a stupid choice for them, but in my opinion they shouldn't feel pressured or controlled by the players. Many people are critical of how publishers control game devs - me included. So I'm holding myself to the same standard and letting them do whatever they want. If I don't like their choice, I will not buy their game. A win-win for everyone.

  • The problem is, people are worried that Minecraft might get in the way of other games and that's not good at all.

  • True. It's an understandable concern. I get that mindset, and I could probably argue against myself if I wanted, but I don't want to feel like a dictator who's actively trying to control TT. I personally despise being given orders and feeling like I don't have any choice. It just feels wrong to act like that.

    It's just one series, that won't even start production until the current series are over. That's the way Telltale's game series have always worked since they started having multiple series going at once with CSI and Sam & Max back in 2006. CSI didn't hurt the quality of Sam & Max, likewise Sam & Max didn't hurt the quality of Strong Bad, Strong Bad didn't hurt the quality of Wallace & Gromit, Wallace & Gromit didn't hurt the quality of Tales of Monkey Island, and more recently The Walking Dead didn't hurt the quality of The Wolf Among Us, and Game of Thrones isn't going to hurt the quality of Tales from the Borderlands.

    Telltale picks up franchises that they enjoy and think they can make an interesting story from. Some of their choices are stranger than others (a lot of people didn't see how they could make a story from Tales from the Borderlands, but they managed to make a pretty good one so far). And not every series is for everyone (a lot of people didn't like CSI or Jurassic Park). The best thing to do is wait to see what it's like before you pass judgement, as it might surprise you (Tales from the Borderlands certainly surprised me). Then, if you don't like it, just wait for the next series.

  • if it really gets in the way of Tale's development and hinders that game's quality, I'm going to be really upset. Minecraft is so pointless, has nothing to it in any fashion, and Telltale are wasting their time, this decision doesn't make any sense.

    LMFAO This news is hilarious.

    It's clear as fuck this is a CASH-GRAB. There's no way this isn't.

    "oh yeah lets make a story about minecraft because we want to explore that shit but not because we want money oh noooo"

    Fucking wow. I used to think Telltale really didn't do these series for cash-grabs, but now they've stepped over the line. Walking Dead, I was like "um, ok. I'll see how this turns out"

    with Game of Thrones, "cool, telltale's going big."

    with Borderlands, "wait, wut? r u serious? telltale you're going a bit too far."

    NOW MINECRAFT!?! Good god. Well, looks like Telltale's going down the shitter. Oh wait, they won't because they keep doing cash-grabs! Wonderful!

    What's next?
    Flappy Bird: A TellTale Games Series!?

  • She's not a fact machine, I don't think Telltale is incapable of screwing up.

  • That was rather sassy ;). I was just curious because I wasn't sure.

  • Your way to right, this is clearly a cash grab i'm sorry, they wouldn't have done this if Minecraft wasn't as popular, it's a simple as that, what's next? Frozen: A Telltale Game Series? Seeing how that is popular why not? Which honestly that still sounds far better then Minecraft, at least Frozen has a world WITH characters, it DOES have lore, it DOES have a story, Minecraft has none of the above!

  • To be honest i love minecraft and the walking dead so this is a good thing to my perspective but not all minecraft players are mature which scares me
