It doesn't deserve outright hatred, I just think that it's very lacking, even for a kids game. I bought Episode 1 on Android when it was on sale and I can honestly say that it doesn't interest me and that I will never play the entirety of it. I don't like the humor and think that most of the voice acting is pretty poor. Since it's based on Minecraft I'll refrain from rating its animation. The story also seems weak from what I've seen by tuning in here once in a while.
Yeah it does, its garbage. Telltale should have made a second season of TWAU or hell another interesting new IP would be cool but nope instead we get shitty Minecraft

I bought Episode 1 on Android when it was on … moresale and I can honestly say that it doesn't interest me and that I will never play the entirety of it.

The story also seems weak from what I've seen by tuning in here once in a while.
I'll agree that the Wither Storm Arc wasn't very impressive (at least not for me personally), so much as it pains me to say.
Ever since I watched the announcement teaser for this game, I had high hopes for it. Maybe it was too much to expect*, but I really wanted to believe that TellTale could deliver on the possibilities this sort of format presented. That said, the first four episodes didn't feel so much like a genuine cohesive story as much as they felt like an experiment. It was as though TellTale had gone for so long without making a game for all ages that they needed to completely rethink their writing style within the small time frame they gave themselves.
Excited for what it could've been, the last thing I wanted to admit at the time was that it just wasn't the experience I was searching for. Now that TellTale seems to have revamped their style with a better focus on Story Mode's strengths for the Hall of Portals Arc, I can say that Story Mode- DLC and all- is a pretty decent game. Still, I can't help but be disappointed by what this game could've been if taken in the right direction.
Those who criticize Story Mode are people who's opinions aren't unfounded, and the same goes for people who enjoyed Story Mode also. I'd almost think those who genuinely had fun, however, are those who came in with essentially no expectations and simply wanted more TellTale in their life- not that I mean this as a bad thing, of course. I'm just saying I understand where some of the hate might be coming from, even if a lot of it is unjustified.
*(not that I mean to talk negatively about their competency- I'm just saying that my hype for it was probably too high)

I like TWAU, but I also like other TelltaleGames. But if they only focused on TWAU, Telltale wouldn't have that much of a fanbase as it does now. And there are other games that are just as good. Have you played TWD,tftbl, GoT, or even Batman?

Telltale has a history of being understaffed and having that get in the way of release dates, which is what screwed TWAU over. It seems that… more they've expanded, but we can't really know what's going on over there for sure. This game COULD have resulted in delays for all we know.
It is unfortunate that there are younger audiences and perhaps those not as well versed in the actual business of the game industry to reali… moreze that not every developer work in a linear method and often by working on multiple franchises can either be done by different teams or staggering the workload so that artists, composers, writers, etc. have less downtime. MCS was admittedly not my favorite IP since I have not played Minecraft in years but I also trust Telltale to make the right decisions as a business and artists on what they think will be successful so that they can keep bringing other IPs I do like. Also, in the end, both MCS and Tales from the Borderlands were surprisingly more enjoyable than I thought they would be.
Ethan from Telltale's Game of Thrones. :V Not sure if you played, so that's about all I'll say to avoid spoilers. Not that it's that big a spoiler, but...
Because MCSM is rated PG 10+, people are turned off by it for being a "kid's game," and therefore want to act more mature by hating on it, somehow...it doesn't work, though.
In terms of the quality of choices, I'd actually argue that Minecraft: Story Mode's is on par with every other TTG game, if not ever so slightly better.
Ratings are pretty meaningless in general, but I do agree with the sentiment there (And Pika's numbers pretty much are on track with how I feel about the series)
Anyway, the game had a slow start and a weird fan base, but I think it came into its own. One of the better TTG IMO.
Considering people who constantly play Minecraft also tends to dislike this game, it's no surprise that it got way more "hate" than other Telltale Games releases.
After this whole "Batman" thing lately, I have came to think that Minecraft Story Mode isn't bad. It doesn't try to be overly serious which is where Telltale Games shine.
If not for the potential cash-in criticisms ("Oh, of course you'd call it that to draw in the Minecraft fanbase!"), that actually sounds like an interesting game...
I feel people hate it just because it's Minecraft, and people often dislike it due to it's visual style. As a game it's not truly brimming with the usual standerd of Telltales story telling. However I feel it's accomplished it's own achievements. It's brought Minecraft into a story based world and given us characters and people we can identify with and enjoy interacting with. Yes, it's obviously more aimed towards children but that doesn't detract the overall quality provided in the games.
People might dislike the Wither Storm arc, but I enjoyed it, quite a lot actually.
I'll always support telltale while not holding back any feedback if need be. In terms of Minecraft I feel it's main resentment comes from the fact that Minecraft is identified in itself as a childish entity, so anything related to it makes it automatically hated.

I hope you're kidding. xD
I think EPs 1 and 2 are kinda weak (1 is not an amazing start, and 2 is a rushed episode), but it gets a LOT better with EP 3.
Maybe it doesn't deserve hate. But it definitely didn't deserve a 3 episode extension or even a full season for that matter

Although Episode 5 and up are significantly better than 1-4
Have you even played Minecraft: Story Mode?
I like TWAU, but I also like other TelltaleGames. But if they only focused on TWAU, Telltale wouldn't have that much of a fanbase as it does now. And there are other games that are just as good. Have you played TWD,tftbl, GoT, or even Batman?
Idk I heard that telltale has plenty enough staff too work on games from both sides
agreed on second part.
Ethan from Telltale's Game of Thrones. :V Not sure if you played, so that's about all I'll say to avoid spoilers. Not that it's that big a spoiler, but...
Just finished Episode 3. It's quite good and better than Episode 1 and 2.
No shes not
The game one from the best telltale's games ever and shis goood so good
Not according to GameInformer. Ep 1 got 8.25/10 Ep 4 & 6 got 7.75/10 and Ep 5 got 7/10.
yes it deserves to die and I hope it burns in heck
It is MineCraft .
Did you play it?
It still makes me chuckle when some people judge games by the targeted audience and see it as bad and then after playing it they become a huge fan xD
Before Playing Game
"This game is for kids, it sucks!"
After Playing Game
"I've played every game five times, read every book thrice and watched every let's play of it once, when's the sequel due?"
In terms of the quality of choices, I'd actually argue that Minecraft: Story Mode's is on par with every other TTG game, if not ever so slightly better.
I think just saying 'Minecraft' garners a strange amount of hate.
If you don't like minecraft okay but respect people who like...
Did you play it?
No im pretty sure its Minecraft Story mode. Not Mindcraft whatever that is...
Did you even play it?

Words can't describe the ignorance of this comment

It's just because people judge Minecraft, they don't judge any other telltale game and they judge this one because it's different
Because this game deserves to be criticized by it's art style rather than it's story, right?
Hmm... "Mindcraft"...

My son played it .
No.
The story is just as bland as it's art style.
exactly,because they think minecraft is a kids game or something judgy about it,
Edit: nvm
If your son played it and you didn't, why are you the one complaining?
Who? Me or SweetDee?
I get that some people who have played might not like the game, but most of the people who outright hate the game have NOT played even a demo of the game.
