I respect you in including facts and not generalizing, but I see it a lot here on the forum attaching every negative to "telltale" as a company and not specifying what is actually wrong and who is responsible for it.. this whole community been toxic to the core lately. I miss when we used to talk about actual game content and discussing episodes and predictions, now all I do is responding to toxicity with reason..
I'm not steven's lvl of positivity but hell, I sound like one here..
I'm not sure if you're talking about me specifically, but I do believe that I always feel the need to back my views on these boards. It piss… morees me off immensely to see people put opinions out there without properly backing them. I haven't been active much, but what I've written about ANF, all my negative criticism towards it, I believe has been as constructive and fair as it can get.
I don't see how criticizing a specific staff member with a good backing to the criticism is "NOT FAIR" if you're not making personal attacks.
I critique the "games" that telltale makes, NOT "TELLTALE" as a company because its NOT FAIR. making games is a collaborative effort and blaming a single person is mean and ignorant.
But when a variety of games made by a company come out rushed, incomplete, incoherent, etc, etc, and it ends up creating a pattern, is it not logical to assume the problem is within the company itself? You expect to people to bl… [view original content]
well that was mean-ly put. we're not CEO so that we suggest what a CEO should and should not do. lets just support telltale and give ''const… moreructive criticism" and not mean suggestions. I hope kevin is good now, and the new CEO do great changes. until then, lets be positive.

Just an educated guess. Considering the way people act around here I like to think no one here is old enough to even have that privilege, and if they do they aren't screaming at a veteran CEO about rules he must follow.
Is that even possible? I have some hope for Telltale as a company now. But ANF seems completely DOA at this point. We're almost half way through the season at this point, even if episodes 4-5 are excellent they can't fix what came before.

Is it even possible to save Telltale? I don't want to be hatin' too much, but to me all of their games post-TFTB suffer from painfully chees… morey and predictable writing, and seeing how Nick Herman, Dennis Lenart and other critical characters of Telltale development team are now gone, it's really difficult for me to imagine that the interns in the writing room are going to bring back the Telltale's glory from it's golden days, even after Bruner flew away on his flying carpet.
They are not an indie studio anymore, they are working with big franchises and making big money off of them, so my advice would be to take a few weeks, hell even months, to sit down and reorganize their structures because there are sure as hell a lot of talented people working in there but something tells me that they are not occupying the positions they should.
I've spent last 4 years praying every night when I go to sleep that I am going to wake up to TWAU S2 or TFTB… [view original content]
We can be positive that they like to be selective when it comes to feedback?
I mean, TWD:ANF did listen to fan feedback about more hubs... but didn't add all the additional content/conversations that allot of people expected they would add along with hubs and have been requesting since the second season of the game.
It's not mean, it's the cold truth. Enough sugar coating things because when they get sugarcoated, things don't get fixed.
There is cons… moretructive criticism everywhere. There has always been but they didn't listen. So how can you expect people to "be positive"?
True, they can't fix what came before. But there are still ways to improve tbe season and leave it on a somewhat positive note.
* Incre… morease the length of the episodes.
* More playable Clem, including in the present.
* More character development.
* More s2 flashbacks, perhaps in the form of a DLC.
Extremely wishful thinking, I know, but it seems there are a lot of changes going on there so im hoping they can step up here for everybody's sake.
well it did say that some current employees, bruh most were in the negative. and also from other companies. Naughty Dog mostly positive and other companies as well, although most companies were 70/30 good/bad (ND the exception).
Glassdoor things are a sign, but they're usually written by the angriest of employees, and you don't have the company's side of the story, so they shouldn't be taken as absolute truth. You can read reviews for other companies without signing in.
I agree. Telltale is my favorite company, and their games have changed my life. However, I'm not blind to the fact that they are going through some troubles. On a positive note, every company goes through these troubles. Marvel was going bankrupt in the 90's, and now they are one of the most profitable companies on the planet(at least in the Entertainment industry). I want them to be the best they can be, and I trust that they will. I believe in you Telltale.
well it would be nice if they're episodes didn't selectively leak over a week in advance while the rest of us have to wait. That'd be a nice thing to try and work on...just a little thought to toss.

I was one of those whose opposed a minecraft game, but I ended up enjoying it way too much. I must say that the DLC is way better. having a self-contained story made it more adventure-y and FUN. I hope they make a season two because petra is bae.

LMAO I LOVE YOU GUYS
that was some of the least mean criticism that I've seen on this forum as of late

They didn't work with the information they were given, if they did we wouldn't be here.

How about we let them try to fix ANF first?

I think that Batman was fairly good, I wouldn't call it's story cheesy writing.

I agree, they do have to try to fix ANF if only for their own reputation.

Yeah, I sort of forgot about Batman but I'll admit it is an exception from what I've stated above.

and be sure to tell your guys to make the fucking GoT season 2
It probably won't happen, but it should happen.
I'd much rather see another TFTBL than another useless Minecraft game.
