what is the show supposed to be, horror, comedy, drama, etc.? thats the one with the red head girl that sings right?
except it's clearly not okay for me to voice my opinion because otherwise I wouldn't be yelled at for "spoilers"
you guys need to be a little bit more subtle with your double standards

All of the above, nobody's sang yet. It's like American Horror Story with Glee kids in it, and i amazingly don't hate it.

like wow, because everyone that's not you is suddenly grouped together and viewed as a single entity, fuck off!
I still need to watch this, partially because of ariana
is she a delusional biotch too?

Ya'll need to chill.
i think there's something to be said for like inevitability and things being out of your hands and i feel like twd really did work to get that through, to convince you that you saved someone only to take them away soon after and get that doubt in your head that maybe if you saved the other person they could've survived longer. i think that's not something that's necessarily bad when played well, specially since zombie stories should kinda be about dread and hopelessness, the problem for me was that telltale played the killing off characters game way too fast and loose to the point that you just stopped caring
the main characters worked really well cos they got the full season to grow, but all the side characters really felt like fodder, and that's not cool

when did I say everyone is included? speaking in general terms when more than a few were complaining and influencing the zeitgeist at the time does not mean 'everyone but me." I was addressing the people who complained about me stating my opinion, of which there were more than one.
if you mean because I said 'you guys" in my reply to you that I meant you were included then I apologize but that was not directed at you but more as a general statement that happened to be appended to a reply but I can see how it can be perceived as a direct point to you so that is an error in my communication

What do you mean by no one has sang yet? Is it supposed to be like a musical type of thing? Cause if its ill pass
But were any of the people who complained about spoilers for MGSV the same people who are downplaying LiS spoilers now? Because if not, your complaint about double standards rings hollow.

Yeah ok, talk to that person, or contact a mod if you still have a problem, posting like that looks awfully like you're taking it out on all of us.

No singing. At all. Ryan Murphy's done shit like Glee, American Horror Story, Nip/Tuck; it's definitely in the same vein as the last two.

Yup, Tales is one of the few Telltales games I want to replay and try the opposite decisions again at some point.
Even worse, "<person you saved> will remember that." 3 seconds later, they're dead. They ain't remembering jack, man!

I doubt it would change the outcome, but the ride sure is pleasant!
If you want to complain, you'd probably do better bothering MangaGamer on Twitter.
Which wouldnt do anything :V

Yeah, the narrative adventures (TellTale's, Bioware's, whomever!) work best if you just sit down and enjoy the ride. If it's written well with great planning it will be a wonderous ride. But everything falls apart if the writer makes dissonance for the player, presupposing certain choices for the sake of the story being told; it's basically the writer admitting they were written into a corner that they haven't the funds to escape.
I played Wolf Among Us episoe 1 and enjoyed it. I started 2 but had to stop because [ep 2 spoilers]
snow white is now alive? and I don't trust her..
so I turned it off :|

But finding out
who really got murdered
The way they played off that thing in episode 2,
them blackmarket glamours,
I mean, I was
pretty genocidal as Bigby.
who murdered Faith and Lily
ribbons
but like..
if someone who I thought was dead just showed up the next day I would be completely skeptical that it is really them.. they handwave it away by saying oh the severed head had a glimmer applied, but if that's the case how do I know NuWhite isn't someone with a glimmer applied
and the game just wants you accept it without question.

Yeah, for me TWAU is a great, personal, example of my player story and the writer's story diverging, killing the game for me. I dunno if it's due to the Fables backstory or what, but I never felt I had the choices available to make the game my own. It only got worse as the episodes went on and, by the end, I was completely disenchanted with it. TWAU is my least favourite TellTale narrative adventure by a mile.
That said, it has an OK ending and some fun moments, so you might as well finish it one day. You'll either love it or hate it.
(This never actually happens, by the way.)

It being a prequel let's it get away with a lot of things. They're not focusing on the adversary and lots of folks that would otherwise be dead aren't. I enjoyed it more than some of the other Telltale Games even if it did end up at the same endpoint.Yeah, for me TWAU is a great, personal, example of my player story and the writer's story diverging, killing the game for me.

terrible!
ending spoilers:
ending only makes sense if you go the pacifist route, my sister killed and maimed as much as she could but the game ends the same, it was super weird in tone.
Has Atelier ever been on PC?

Only 2 games and that was before they started coming out in English.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atelier_(series)
For Windows 95.
Hell and those 2 are ports.
Doubt it. It'll likely be classified as a preorder bonus via the steam store.
Not unless a mistake is made.

That demo gameplay video though.. :/
I really hope they can bounce back and deliver the complete game to us.
55% more to go.
Let's go!
well i mean
the official word from them is that they've had mostly assetwork and gameplay design done but very little actual implemented gameplay, at least not beyond prototypes, on account of their important programmer never being avaiable or something. they also mentioned most of the money is untouched, so it seems that if they find a replacement it should just be a long delay, but not necessarily a sign that the game quality is not gonna be great
we'll see, it's been a long while since there's been something kind to say about project phoenix, so i'm gonna be happy for a while that the awesome designs seem to have translated great into the game models

Didnt he quit 2 years ago and worked on Ori?
From what I can see the main programmer quit, but somehow the representatives of the KS tried to put a blame on someone who didnt even work for them anymore.
from the wording of the kickstarter updates they're of the kind of "we were really hoping to work with him and it just didn't work out", and that's it
sounded like neither the ori guy or the project phoenix people made the decision to say ok this is not gonna work out and that really delayed the project
but for sure from their updates they're not blaming anyone, they just wanted to work with the ori guy and he never could work with them

So I refunded Undertale. Liked the concept, but the fact that I have to work like crazy to get either a pacifist or sadist run kind of puts me off. It doesn't help that most of the characters I've seen in the game are too quirky for their own good.
Can't justify $11 for it. Maybe if it goes on sale, I'll reconsider.

I was really shocked when LurkerPrime
died
That excuse only holds up for so long imho. We're talking about 2 years here. 2 Years they didnt think of a backup plan. 2 Years they've just waited for the situation to resolve it self without doing anything to search for a solution. Other games are completely done in that time.
lol bombed a bunch of guards in dishonored and found a grenade in that same room, pretty sure the game wanted me to do that
interesting thing is that the game on default doesn't run much better even though it looks like ass

i mean, sure, but what's the point of thinking about it now
they're working on getting a replacement, they hope by the end of october, and the art they showed today looks great
they fucked up, but going at developers' throats for their mistakes is not my style, so not much to do for me but wait
