Might Boycott telltale after Episode 4 and their lack of caring.
Telltale has really gone downhill, in season 1 if you saved ben you could still talk to him - he would get developed. With season 2 if you save Nick he doesnt get any other lines after you save him up until his death in episode 4. The new TellTale staff only care about getting paid and they just rush it. After episode 4 they've proved to us that they dont care as much as they did in season 1.
After season 2 ends im boycotting telltale.

Considering there are other determinant deaths such as Alvin, and Nick does get more lines after you save him already prove your point wrong. Telltale do care, they are just being overworked due to working on four projects at the same time. Well three now.
If you don't like it and you're not happy with it, just stop playing it and stop complaining. Simple as that.
My god they didn't prove shit. To be honest, I have the feeling they are more compassionate than ever. Nick had no lines because of the missing hub areas in the third episode. In the fourth he died, and to be honest, I think that's a good choice. He was a weak character, weak of will. He would have never made it through the cold in episode 4.
Again, death is completely normal in a zombie apocalypse. Not every character can have a heart breaking hero moment before he dies, that'd be unrealistic.
I posted something along the lines of this yesterday, I will buy more Telltale games, but only if they prove that its worth my money again. This season had an interesting first episode, not brilliant but not terrible, episode 2 was a great return to form, but 3 and 4 showed they are really just doing whatever plot immediately they can think of and rushing the game out the door to meet a deadline. Season 1 was my favorite game ever, but season 2 wouldn't even be on my top 10 in comparison.
The choice to save Nick should of never existed. They ignored him. He had hardly any lines in EP3 and didn't talk at all in Ep4. Most characters at least have some reason to be alive. You are able to talk to them and they are involved in the story. Nick did nothing and while i enjoy Telltale's games, This choice was by far the most pointless. I wish they actually gave us choices as they have been saying since Season 1, It won't happen though. Still really enjoy the game though.
Theres a high horse and then theres clear signs they are weakening the quality of the product. This is the latter.
Look I understand fans are very important but telltale doesn't work around what you want. Get off your high horse and chill dude.
Weird, I actually got to talk to Nick right after they arrived at Carver's camp.
Ugh...had enough of these hate post.
People asked for hubs and longer episode time, claiming that the lack of these things were prime examples of Telltale no long caring about the quality of their episodes or the satisfaction of their customers. Then Telltale comes around and gives the fans what they want; hubs, and longer episode time.
So why are people still complaining that Telltale doesn't care? I'm not saying that you have be absolutely thrilled with the episode, but we as a community really need to learn to give credit where it is due. It actually looks like Telltale did in fact listen to their fans, and I am very gracious of that.
And then never again
Its a marked improvement over what they had been doing previously with season two. I think we should at least recognize that.
I think gameplay wise yes, but the story is getting worse as it goes on and choices are being recognized even less.
This.
Because the quality of both these things wasn't great, and the writing has gotten worse since episode 3 started. Something happened and they probably had to completely switch up the plot for some reason, thats the most likely issue.
That's totally a subjective opinion, so I'm not really going to argue the point. I honestly think the writing has been solid. I do agree with you in the fact that choices should matter more, though if we're being totally honest, it's not like choices mattered all that much in season 1 either.
Buying/Playing the finale isn't much of a boycott.
It's more like saying 'I wont play anything else you put out after this' plus theres a solid chance the OP has the season pass like myself so why wouldn't you at that point?
Well, have fun. While you do that i'll be here enjoying the games Telltale produces.
It is also largely due to the original writers leaving after Season 1 and i kinda knew the new writers wouldn't be as good sadly. But i still like Season 2
Tell me how they "came around" regarding longer episodes? Every episode of both TWD and Wolf Among Us has gotten shorter since their respective episode 1's in the current season.
Did you just stand around and stare at the open sky to lengthen your play time, or something?
You're free to boycott the company but I just don't really see this as the first time a company's declined in quality (like this happened with Bioware). Company's change and sequels are sometimes not good but it doesn't really mean you should make a call to arms.
Honestly I would boycott a company if they were doing something that crossed a line. Like seriously mistreating their workers or consumers. Like what happened with Sim City 4 or Diablo 3 where you had an always online-offline game would be pretty worthy of a boycott if you ask me.
I dunno, those are just my thoughts. It can feel like a letdown but this happens a lot.
Gives the episode a 6/10 (Which is still considered a DECENT score)
Wants to boycott
I don't expect them to work around what i want. I do expect them to keep their promise and make choices matter. Which seems to never have started. This game is one of my favourite games. But it would be better if choices did matter. Fans like you ignoring it's shortcomings are not helping at all.
I'm not ignoring it's shortcomings. Season 2 isn't perfect there are lots of things they could have done better but I still like it.
I think this game is artistic and they're trying to tell a story. If you don't like the story, you can't get mad at them and expect them to change it to what you think is the way it should be written, because it is all subjective. Personally i love season 2. It is a lot more intense, than season 1. I loved Season 1, but for different reasons.
If it is making you this mad, maybe you should take a break.
So do i. Just stating that the whole Nick thing was badly done.
Alright then go ahead, not like that can TRULY change anything
Its not hate post its constructive criticism and this is good for the gaming industry. I mean everything arron1290 said is true, the Nick dissension is totally pointless.
Also i'm very disappointing in season 2 so far. I'am not that hyped for episode 5 at all like i was for episode 5 of season 1 or episode 5 of The Wolf Among Us.
I'm not however going to boycott TellTale all-together I'm still interested in their upcoming Game of Thrones game and i'm still hoping for a season 2 of The Wolf Among Us. But unless episode 5 of this season REALLY blows me away in some way i most likely will give season 3 a miss (If they make one).
But it's because of trend they've set, the price is still the same but we're getting less and less content, and in said content they haven't improved (subjective some would say but I think I can state that the plot definitely feels like something changed midway through development unlike Season 1. The goal of Season 1 was clear by EP3 and it set up the villain, all we have this season is a last second attack from the Russians who can't speak good Russian)
yes...episode 4 imo is just plain shit. Didn't explain what happened to nick...
Not much detailed to this game.
Am I seriously the only one that has liked all of S2? Like I am so happy when playing an episode and when it arrives.
Oh no, you refuse to play something you already paid for. That will show them!
Why do I keep seeing these threads?
You wanna boycott, OK, but we really don't need to know about your future "plans".
No offense, but please stop.
They really need to be aware and recognize their situation. Now I like season 2 but the episodes are not consistently good, I'm sure the series will feel good but the episodes don't feel satisfactory as stand alone episodes whereas almost every episode in season 1 was good as a stand alone game itself, each had a theme and a satisfactory ending as well as decent playtime. Short episodes and cliffhangers would have been okay but the long period of waiting really ruins the experience. I'm sure the new writers are talented and experienced and what not but I do not like their approach to making the games it's the same with TWAU and TWDS2. It's a shame really but I hope they'll handle things differently.
I thought episode 4 was good though.
Actually it's boycotting their future products. That'll show ya!
I'm sorry but I just don't feel like sitting here listening to people whine.
That's my rant.
Obviously he means he won't buy any of their future games like Game of Thrones or that Borderlands game.
Telltale's actual reaction:
I doubt that's even what he means.
Wipe the tears away with your money, telltale.
