@SpurgAnon twd telltale is so insanely good. It's still a qte video game but the story is amazing so it doesn't matter.
@luithe @beardalaxy Idk, i kind of liked season 2, from what I barely remember. They held onto the ethos of TWD moreso than the show imo.
@SpurgAnon @luithe I liked playing as clem, second season was good. Third season was okay, 4th season was great.
@beardalaxy @luithe I'm enjoying having forgotten so much and the pure joy of ensuring the shit characters die off.
So long ben, you wont be missed.

@SpurgAnon @luithe i fuckin love kenny
@beardalaxy @SpurgAnon man I remember that era when Telltale games was everywhere and making games based on everything.
I never played their games but they seemed to be everywhere. I'm sure the reliance on big name IP didn't help their demise given what happened to other industries in gaming that did this.

@PurpCat @beardalaxy Yeah, but the issue was unrecoverable since the problem was streamers.
No point in buying or playing a point and click adventure if you can just watch some twitch slut play it for you

@SpurgAnon @beardalaxy Oh for sure, I don't disagree that streaming fucked some shit over hard.
It definitely fucked over the pinball industry to some degree, but also it fucked over the entire cottage industry that imploded at the end of the 360 era for "licensed games".
Turns out that's when mobile slop replaced licensed games that ranged from mid to half assed for a paycheck.

@PurpCat @beardalaxy oh fuck, you're right....
@SpurgAnon @beardalaxy Literally the entire pinball industry in the 90s had this company with thin margins that was rushing out unfinished games putting up big numbers by buying literally every license under the sun that was big or that they hoped would be big.
Their two major competitors followed them (and only wound up with mid licenses mostly) and while one was taken out by loans in an ill-fated attempt to gamble, they owed at least one of the people they licensed money when they went bankrupt (they made a pinball machine based on a famous athlete).
The other pivoted to gambling and made far more money there, lost money on pinball, and issued an order where "you'll make money or go out of business". They tried some radical changes but their second pinball machine was you gussed it, a mid as shit pinball based on Star Wars Episode 1. The pinball division folded, and everyone went to that pinball company making pinball machines on whatever license they could obtain this week.

It takes a nose dive in the second game
