They've done little to no change in their most recent games. They should at least make an attempt to try something new. But then again it's TellTale and they get a freepass for it. If this was any other developer people would be more critical of them for following the same cookie cutter formula.

Why should they? Those games are enjoyable for some people, and they are story-oriented, so the gameplay isn't important there. What matters is if the stories are good, and in my opinion they are (at least for The Walking Dead Season 1 and The Wolf Among Us, which are the ones in this format I've played).

Change for the sake of change is not necessarily a good thing. I really like the formula, and I don't want to see it changed unless it's necessary to tell a better story. As long as it isn't, I'll keep enjoying these games, provided the writing is still good and engaging.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Played about an hour+ of Fistpuncher.
No bueno.

Button inputs are weird. They're delayed...but not really? I just want to push buttons to punch people but sometimes it doesn't register...it all feels kinda off.

The mechanics are poor as well, lots of cheap hits, thrown objects rarely connect, etc.

The worst part is that if this game didn't have experience bars and leveling up I would have dropped it after five minutes.
The music is kinda neat and there's a bit of humor at least.

OH! Also the levels have an interesting bit of variety to them. I'll hold off on using the word good though because some of them look to be very frustrating.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Added. Look forward to getting some games in I also play other fighting games to varying degrees of success if those are your thing.

Added you.
I'm lower tier though and the best i've gotten is MAYBE mid. But I enjoy playing regardless.

 

[IblisGinjo]

I really enjoy the Telltale games, but I noticed in the last few The Wolf Among Us and The Walking Dead: Season Two episodes that free roaming in an area has been almost entirely cut out of the games. It is a straight point A to point B affair, except for perhaps one small place to talk to two or three people. I missed that from the first Walking Dead game, ie. going through the pharmacy or walking around the farm. Having that excised is kind of a bummer, even if the storytelling is still great.

I noticed that as well in TWDse2. I kinda liked it. You know what I would enjoy a

Clementine

Action RPG written by Telltale with you going around kicking ass & gaining XP.

Enhanced Steam got a shout out in this PC World article about tips and tricks for Steam.

 

[MetalDeer]

If you consider mashing a button for a QTE event as good gameplay then I really don't know what to say

Eh, I'll admit Telltale has removed a lot of the old adventure game style stuff in their more recent games. The "inventory" in The Wolf Among Us was pretty much useless, and there's so few points where you can actually control the character and look around, it hurts. Even then, when you do assume control of Bigby, you're usually just restricted to one room/area.

So yeah, I'll agree with you that their games could use some work in the gameplay department. They've basically become 3D visual novels, at this point.

Quick, Valve, announce New Steam and New Steam LL!
With better battery time, second stick and improved browser.
Seriously, trust me on this.

They should add all the features of Enhanced Steam. I really don't like to browse on the client.

Around this time next month, I should be able to give you guys a heads up on how Shadow of Mordor runs on a lowly 2500k and 560ti, far under their recommended specs of an i13-8900kzr and 22 square feet of nothing but SLI'ed graphic cards.

I have a 560ti as well, I'm nervously anticipating the first game that won't run satisfactorily.

These cross gen titles are extending its life for now, but it has to happen sooner or later I reckon.

It's a mini-stick above the buttons.

Same res? Not sure if I want, let's see how much I can still get for my old one. But wait, I can't sell it right now because I need mine for the system transfer, right?

 

[Enco]

Is there not an ini file you can change?

Telltale level of quality, great at storytelling, horrible at bugs.

I used a controller for a bit and then switched back to a mouse and it seems to work in game now.

If I didn't have a controller then yea I would have tried to find an ini or something.


Finished the first episode. That was pretty good. Not as boring as ep1 of TWD1. The scene where

you have to stitch up your arm

has to be one of the most cringe worthy scenes in a game.

I actually thought a real successor would come out soon, next 2 years max. Why do you have three though? One for each room, ha?

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

I know this isn't a 3ds thread but we can all understand that splitting a userbase like that is probably not a good idea. They should let the new 3ds exclusive games run on the old 3d with some sort of compromise, like 3d cannot be used on older 3dses or something.

 

[Jawmuncher]

It's looks to be more supplemental than anything.
Camera control and the like it should be fine. Definitely can't see playing shooter with it though.
Shulk in Smash was the Real big news along with the games 3DS port.

Was it ever said why games will have the region tag but DLC doesn't?
I just find it odd you wouldn't just do everything. Is adding a tag that hard do they have to pay for it?

Yeah that would be great, but what about the functionality tied to the extra buttons? I could see requiring the Circle Pad Pro for the new analog stick, but what about the new shoulder buttons?

I'm a bit torn on all this. It's gonna be near impossible for me to want to get rid of my Zelda 3DS XL LE, but at the same time that new stick actually seems like it might be decent compared to their other/ more bulky option previously, the circle pad pro. Xenoblade 3DS is awesome, but it won't get me to the new 3DS right away since I have the Wii Game, even though it's insanely tempting still. I just wish Xenoblade would work on my dolphin without sound issues, then I wouldn't be stuck playing it in 480p and with a wiimote nunchuku combo

Your issue reminds me of a bug in Fable TLC: when using a widescreen resolution, you can't scroll to the bottom of windows unless you're using the resolution below your native one (e.g. 1680x1024 rather than 1680x1050). At least Microsoft has the excuse that the game released in 2005.

Sure it won't affect 90% of people but there's no reason it shouldn't be fixed.

Apparantly Nintendo will transfer everything registered on your Club Nintendo account to a new 3DS if you bother their support enough, but there's no way I would risk that!

That's why I've always tried to play it on Dolphin, but those sound crackles just get to me and I've never found a way to actually get rid of them. Everyone keeps saying Dolphin should have already fixed it, but it never really has for me

Nintendo is terrible at naming, Wii U, new 3DS, it sounds like something someone would make as a joke.

Unfortunately I don't care anymore, I decided to not buy anything else from Nintendo after the Wii.

At this point I don't know if I should wait for the New 3DS LL or just wait for the next Nintendo Handheld and hope that's compatible with 3DS games.

3DSes are just so easy to collect for some reason (cheap? many designs? regionlock?). I also own three ;-;
1x EU normal cosmo black
1x JP normal white with fancy custom stickers
1x JP LL Gore Magala LE

I might get the New 3DS normal one, LL doesn't feature swapping covers, is more expensive and the normal one has improved screensize as well iirc.

 

[jshackles]

Oh yeah, forgot about that. So yeah I guess it might be doable. I really think they should have just called it something different though, even if they named it 3DS2 or something equally terrible. "New 3DS" has got to be the worst possible name imaginable.

It's the biggest load of shit I've ever seen. Nintendo couldn't support a system if their life depended on it. I own 3DS XL and it's the last Nintendo system I'll ever buy. They have no concept of supporting existing owners they just want to ditch and move on as fast as possible.
