Just got done playing the episode (great episode overall), and as much as I hate to say it, you are completely right. Guardians had pretty much everything we asked to be in ANF, but never got. The episode was almost 2 hours long for me, there was actual character development, the choices were good, some hard to make, we had areas we could explore, hubs that led to really good conversations with the other characters, and what looks to be a really compelling story. Where was all that in ANF? Nowhere. This proves two things:
More does not always mean better. GOTG had a total of 3 writers (Nicole Martinez, Zack Keller, and Timothy Williams). ANF has ranged between 6-8 writers per episode, with even more additional writers. Maybe Telltale has finally come to understand the Law of Diminishing Returns.
Telltale put WAY more effort into GOTG then into their main series, the one that put them on the map. Now don't get me wrong, it's good to see GOTG have a team of dedicated and hard working people behind it, I just wish that same effort was put into TWD.
Yes, I don't actually hate Telltale's GOTG, I just hate that Telltale gives it more content than TWD and has better writers. But I feel like I'm the only one who didn't like the story. Also, I hate to say it but I disliked Scott Porter's performance as Star-Lord, it just doesn't match the character, not after watching the movie and I know this game isn't connected to MCU. \
Telltale is horrible to TWD fanbase but Marvel and DC ones.

Not to be rude or anything, but right below me, you called it Garbages of the Galaxy and said "I loved the movie, but I hate that game." You also gave it a 4/10 on the impressions thread. I thought Scott was fine, I prefer Chris Pratt, but I don't think he did a bad job. I will also say that Nolan North fit EXTREMELY well for Rocket Racoon, I thought he gave the best performance.

God, I'm an idiot.
EDIT: Also, I never said something about Rocket or Nolan North. He easily did the best performance because he is Nathan Drake, Penguin and Deadpool.
I believe that Marvel-Disney strictly supervised the development of GOTG. If I am not wrong VOL2 is coming this Autumn and they wouldn't like a mediocre game to act as a bridge between 1&2.
Anyway, with the TV show going downhill it was the best move to invest more in the GOTG, rather than ANF.
So... It seems like that TTG is still a relative small company, since they cannot handle 2 huge projects at the same time and they chose to neglect ANF for GOTG.

GOTG literally costs £10 ($12.70) less in the PlayStation store in the U.K. than ANF at launch and it's supposedly far longer, has more hubs, better pacing, much more original music scores etc...
I'm genuinely depressed. For some reason I really wanted GOTG to flop as bad as ANF, maybe then they'd wise up and put more effort into TWD instead of putting out 2 titles at once only to half ass one of them.
If ANF had all the properties of GOTG, and GOTG sucked as bad as ANF then I wouldn't have a problem.
Big difference here is that alot of those fanbases will never even touch a Telltale game, but Telltale already have a big fanbase for their Walking Dead games
I think ANF would've ended up the same way regardless since each game has assigned teams. From what I've seen on forums and YouTube GOTG has not been that we'll received by most.

I feel these forums have gone downhill and filled with negativity after the release of ANF. People are also hating on guardians just because ANF didn't get these certain things but I think it fits ANF without some of these features.
So Guardians has...
* proper hubs with gameplay and actual conversations.
* more than one hub.
* 90+ minute episodes.
* next time on… more segments.
* credit songs/menu songs.
* shooting gameplay sections?
* I probably missed out some others...
... I'm just wondering - why couldn't ANF have this...?
Hey mostlypoptarts are you around), if you are could you tell us the name of the song that was in Episode 4 Trailer after publication , it's really awesome by the way)

Telltale is completely wrong. Just because they call it Season 3, doesn't mean it's Season 3. Season 3 means a continuation, not a fucking reboot or some shit.
As I stated, some healthy criticisms and a failed game might make TTG reconsider what they are doing and stop spreading themselves too thin and perhaps question themselves as to why TWD season 1 and TWAU was so successful and try harder to mimic their former success.
I'm not being cynical or spiteful here...though it apparently comes across that way to you. I'm just disappointed in the fact that TTG are putting unequal amounts of effort into their games. I actually quite enjoy ANF but I do agree with a lot of what the fellow forum members claim to have a problem with.
People are complaining about the negativity around here, but as someone who hated telltale after s2 of twdg, I'm glad more people are waking up and finally realizing how awful they are now.

What does my comment have anything to do with Guardians of the Galaxy?

Nothing. Just worth mentioning it.

On the bright side, episode 4 of anf might take after
I know, I was just adding that because I thought his performance was standout.
So cute... it looks like my cat... i saw her being murdered yesterday and now I'm sad.
Most likely release date with a teaser. I'm not sure if it'll release this month, however Jobs did say they wanted this episode out in April.
Unfortunately, Marvel and DC fanbases are way too much bigger than the TWD fanbase.

The TV show has nothing to do with TWD, the game is based on the comics, not the show.
I know. But still, same franchise.

Neku so Kawaii!

I always find myself asking these questions when playing other telltale games.
Hey mostlypoptarts are you around), if you are could you tell us the name of the song that was in Episode 4 Trailer after publication , it's really awesome by the way)
The trailer is out?
I Think they mean WHEN it comes out.
Yea, my mistake, sorry. WHEN ofc.
Okay, so this community has reached its breaking point. Good to know.
lol I was getting excited for a second there.
Aww. This little guy is getting more attention then ANF!
If the writers call a story they wrote a sequel to a story they previously wrote, then it's a sequel.

your trying to implicate laws when the world has gone to ruins...
wat
People are complaining about the negativity around here, but as someone who hated telltale after s2 of twdg, I'm glad more people are waking up and finally realizing how awful they are now.
Well they did make the game so it is what they say it is, not what the fans want it to be.
Sequels don't actually mean a continuation. A sequel means an installment that take place AFTER the events of the previous installments.
They should be ashamed.
Sooner.
Soon...
Uh... Volume 2 is coming early May. May 5th, I think.
ANF does have some issues and to be quite frank I only really enjoyed Ep 3. But I trust that Telltale will come through in the end, as it always does.
