My GF has a 3ds that she hardly uses. Maybe I can transfer my stuff to that one then trade in mine and transfer back over once I get it. She only uses it for Geometry wars.
If it was only game data I wouldn't care, but I bought Pokemon on it. Wish it wasn't so damn hard to transfer games.
I find that highly ironic, but I'm going to assume you're just trying to specifically take a jab and let it go.
I think the animation itself is fine, for the most part. It's the actual engine that's hot garbage.

Are you having a fucking laugh Sonic
I understood it way back with Walking Dead, but Wolf Among us having such terrible stuttering moments and so on is the moment I started to really wonder what the fuck are they doing by not improving their engine.
Truthfully neither WD or WAU had nearly that many issues in the PC versions when I played them, but at that point it's like why do they insist on releasing them on console with the same engine loading issues again and again.

They care far more about releasing now content for profit than creating a better game. That's all. They'll put it out on last gen systems because people will buy it.

The concept of it being specifically for making these adventure sort of story games is really cool, but yeah it's a mess.
Its not though, it's terribly animated and super stiff, walking, running.
The only competent animation is reserved for facial animation, everything else loos like a bunch of dolls being jostled around.

I dont understand
The way their gameplay is set up is perfectly fine, it's more the stuttering, crashing, bugs, and desyncs that are a real problem... in particular when you're given a timed task in-game.
The walking, running, dancing, and idle animations are really fine. It's not as bombastic as something like D4, but that's a stylistic difference. The fightscenes are also more subdued, and the choreography could use a little work, but neither of those things have to do with the engine.
You also actually have less control in D4 than you do in Telltale games. You don't wander around or move. It's a series of inputs.

Same here. Got pokemon, ace attorney, shovel knight and Senran Kagura on it and I don't want to lose any of them.

Because his PC is poop probably?
I wish I could of gotten a screenshot of when the Next Time on The Wolf Among Us Episode 2 scenes were happening for me and then what I assume to be Bigby and Beast were fighting. I say assume to be because they were just floating sets of teeth and eyeballs.
The fightscenes are severely limited by the engine, example, everything during the Bigby and

You getting salty over MH4U demo?
Me too.
It's not the engine. That's choreography. Those are very different things. You're right in that Telltale's engine is shit, but animation has nothing to do with it.
I actually thought that fight looked fine. I played it on PC and it wasn't an issue in the slightest.

The way Telltales games are paced is dialogue, dialogue, mandatory action sequence, dialogue, token inventory puzzle. dialogue, mandatory action sequence.
No I don't like these games.
No I don't like these games.
Yeah, it's called an adventure game. That's how it's supposed to be.

Sounds like an adventure game to me

Adventure games are an acquired taste.
Frankly, no Telltale game compares to the wonderful Lucasarts games I played on the Mac.
Its an adventure game, albeit it's super super dumbed down and filled with QTE's instead of logic puzzles and exploration.

Perhaps its nostalgia, but I remember stuff from the Lucasarts and Sierra era had more going for them.
And there is my problem right there

I gotta get a monster hunter code. ITS THE SMASH DEMO ALL OVER AGAIN. FUCKING NINTENDO
They were generally more obtuse and there was more exploration, but the formula was the same.

Hey guys, I'm confused. Why do we all hate Telltale all of a sudden? Frankly, I adore Walking Dead season 1, but haven't felt compelled to even try any of their other games, so I'm far from a super fan... but we just seem to be shitting on them super over hard in here all of a sudden to my perception.
If you read through all the posts, it's not shitting about their writing for the most part, which is their obvious strength. It's more the core weakness of their engine and the ruse of false choice, and that's always been the case. YMMV on both of those things.

You'll get to play it someday!
i started talking shit about telltale games in steamchat and joe got mad too so he made a thread about it.

Good News and Bad News.
Bad News is that my 3DS charger stoped working
Good News is that if I have codes you all can have them
Well I don't hate Telltale. I very much enjoy their games. Just not everyone likes them, but that's fine.
I don't really get it either, there were issues in WD Season 2 (Different writers) and I have some gripes about the end of Wolf Among us, but by no means were any of them bad, I just think it's a case of little things adding up to something more negative than what it actually is for many people.

For one thing TWD S1's writers all left. Now they're alright, but most of this is backlash to a ton of games with the same faults, kinda. Putting out so many games at once being the main thing changing people's opinions.
Personally, I liked WD S1 a lot, and TWAU is alright, but damn S2 was bad. Holy crap.

Did you change channel or something? I am not seeing any of your videos
No, still the same. Here's our newest video that came out mere seconds ago due to a fuck up in scheduling.
Lyn has never been topped in my opinion.
Well it should be a lot harder for your friend to skip cutscenes in DS, seeing as how there is only like 5 of them in the game. so that will be better
Luckily he's not playing. I let him play for a 22 minute segment and he made literally one tiny bit of progress.
That means sharing. Thanks!
