The episode lengths were embarassingly short. They were really trying to convince everyone that all we need is about an hour long episode for a while there ("so you can play it before dinner!").
Honestly the length is part of what makes me feel ripped off by ANF. Especially when you consider they said episode 1 was "too big" and split it in two, but in reality it was short for an average episode even before it was split.
They probably could have been more consistent in length (EP 1 - 80 mins EP 2 - 65 mins EP 3 - 90 mins EP 4 - 90-100 mins EP 5 - 75 mins). I only really noticed the length with episode 2 which could have done with another 20 mins. Hopefully they'll find a good range with the "final season". 90 mins was a good sweet spot for season 2 imo but I know I'm in the minority there.
Yeah I noticed that too, they start to go up and down as the story gets closer to the end. I think it should be the other way around. It may be asking for too much but I'd prefer it if every episode was the same length¯_(ツ)_/¯ I'd like longer episodes, that way we can get full stories and be satisfied while we wait for the next one to come out, cause I don't think TT would release every single episode at once.
Exactly! Like I get it, TT wants us to anticipate the next episode so they drop one every other month. But at least give us something that can last for a while until the next episode release. That way we don't get through it so quickly and become bored with it, completely forgetting about it.
A New Frontier length was trash, trash, TRASH. Not worth the full price at all.
Episode 1 was split in two because it was TOO BIG
Disappointed with the length. 75 minute episodes? Really? S2 had 90 minute episodes and even that seemed short. S1 had the perfect length - all episodes were above 2 hours (with Episode 4 being almost 3 hours long) except Ep5 but it was still longer than any ANF episode.
Each episode of The Finale Season should be at least over 2 hours long each. Like the other Telltale games recently. I do not understand why The Walking Dead episodes have a smaller runtime than any other Telltale Games!?
Episode lengths for the final season should be at least 100 minutes AT A MINIMUM. After the episode lengths and the lies Telltale spread for ANF, I think we deserve it.
Lengths? What lengths? I blinked and the episode was gone.
Honestly I probably wouldn't have been as hung up about the short length if Telltale hadn't tried to pull our legs with that grandiose marketing claim that Ties That Bind was SO big they had to split it in two, though I definitely would've still been disappointed either way.
Fortunately while I don't know the exact length of the most recent episodes of Telltale's current titles to me it seems like Telltale took the complaints of the short length into account. I know Batman: The Enemy Within clocked in at over two hours and the newest episodes of Minecraft and Guardians did feel pretty lengthy to my recollection, so I have some hope that The Final Season will have a much higher run time.
XXXXD
I agree they definitely should we deserve it! Hopefully Telltale takes goes out with a bang with this one, not too much of a bang tho and loses control of themselves and doing a lot of unnecessary things, that'll be a bummer.
Lol I felt the same way about S1 but gave them a break being it was their first season.
Exactly!! like if I was Telltale my main focus would to be consistent with the games with the much bigger names, being TWD, Batman and GoT. They deserve to be extended!!
Same, I feel like TT's logic is "less is more" or they don't wanna overwhelm us. But go back to what made us fall in love with the game in the first place!! TWD itself deserves it! Plus I feel during TT's stages of S1 it was their first season ever, so everything had to be perfect in their eyes, script, action, time etc. I'm not sure if it's a different staff or an entirely different method. I have faith in TT!
Haha I remember seeing commercials for episode 2 and being confused like wtf? When were you ever marketed?!
Summer
This is going to be the biggest Season we have done so far
Fall
We have to split Episode 1 in two because it was TOO BIG
Me
they should totally be shorter. season 3 was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOoOOooooOoo long
Wouldn't want the "final" season longer?
lul, wouldn't put it past them
The amount of episode we got and my opinion on it are the same: not very generous.
I'm just waiting for the first three episodes to come out all at once. With them being around 30 minutes each and then stating that they were too big to be one episode.
60 minute episodes just don't work
What would you prefer?
I think it should be the same lenght as Batman the enemy within s first episode.
Double post.
I haven't played Batman :0
well it was a little bit longer than 2 hours.
((And the episode was also extremely Good ))
90 minutes at least. More would be anazing
Oh wow then in that case definitely
ANF episodes were very short and I was really disappointed. The lack of gameplay, hubs and character interactions didn't help either.
Javier's story had so much potential. I hope The Final Season has longer episodes.
True, I felt like there were more cutscenes than actual gameplay ;_; it was so much more TT could've done with ANF but my best guess is they were pressed for time or looked at it as a DLC type of game and not as serious to be considered as it's own separate season.
