Well the people who purchase the disc need a network pass and internet connection to download episode 6. So it's a slap in the dick to them too. Plus that's how all the games have been released.
Also... Kingdom Hearts 3... We've waited two extra months for this episode. Kingdom Hearts 3 people have been waiting a decade for that game.
People should not say they can do something and have it released way after schedule and expectations. Otherwise they are bullshitting themse… morelves and everyone else. And the fact that a retail copy of the full game is releasing the same day we have access to episode 6, I think is a slap in the dick for the people who purchased the season pass. Ahh it stings, but at least we get it cheaper in the end.
Because despite their differences, they are both point and click adventure games centered around player choice, use qte's as gameplay mechanics, and are narrative driven.
What? How can you compare those two? People give Until Dawn praise for things like: one small decision can affect the game immensly, yet whe… moren Telltale does it, people go into a massive outrage becaue of "how poorly it was written". The Traitor thing which people seem to bash on (even though it depends entirely on one's choices) is an example of this. Besides that, Mike and Sam can't die until the end of the game, Matt and Jessica are characters that aren't there for half of the game, Chris can die only if you mess up the QTE or if he decides to shoot Ashley (who literally pleads for it) and she refuses to open the door. Characters in Until Dawn die if you aren't exploring enough or if you choose choices that have written "THE BAD CHOICE" all over them. Now Until Dawn is a great game, but don't compare it with Telltale since the way they do things is entirely different.
It's quite amazing how different the Tales From The Borderlands and Game of Thrones sections of the forum are. This side is heading down Th… moree Walking Dead's path, and this is in no way a compliment. There's a reason why TFTBL got an AMA with the devs, and I'm quite sure GoT won't get one. There is a way to express varying opinions without seeming hostile and having forum tantrums. I'm also sensing a large amount or bitterness because TFTBL finished before GoT as if the later had some sort of entitlement before the former.
You guys can stop it before it's too late. Post your opinions, but keep in mind that everyone can see what your posting.
I have not played "Until Dawn" so I can't give educated comments, but I do agree with DaveTheArakin. Comparing two games from different comp… moreanies is unproductive. Whoever made "Until Dawn" may have more resources than telltale games. Or a larger income to hire a larger staff, or far more qualified staff. For what telltale has, and what they do, I think they do a tremendous job. Plus their finales are always pretty good. Especially the Wolf Among Us. THAT was a pretty good finale. Though I bought the disc version, and once I got to the final showdown with the crooked man all my options were in Spanish. Except for that one line that was in German. Luckily I speak German so I was able to decipher the line, but the Spanish was difficult. thank you google translate for giving me a rough idea of what I was choosing.
I remember back in their adventure game days, they were actually pretty good at getting episodes finished within a month's time. Even since Walking Dead, the gaps between episodes have gotten longer, to the point where we've had three seperate four-month gaps between episodes. Some people quit caring, or forgot what happened in the previous episode or what choices they made. I'm seeing an increasing number of people saying that they'll no longer buy Telltale's series until the whole season is complete. Telltale used to be praised for being a studio that did episodic gaming right, but if they can't make a good product in a timely manner, then, well, maybe the episodic model isn't working for them anymore.
For me another issue is that they do give an expected time frame of about 6 weeks and if you miss any deadline by almost 3x the expected date then you f***** up and they need to be called out on it.
The traitor reveal depends on one choice. Singular. That's a big part of why people have a problem with it. The traitor will accuse you of acting in a certain way, even if you took choices that fit the way they wanted you to act. People call it bad writing because it IS bad writing. People are critical of Telltale because they like to advertise how your choices affect the story, but often, any choice you make will be instantly negated. Some say that previous games managed to do the whole "illusion of choice", while Game of Thrones is a lot more blatant about the fact that the same things happen no matter what you chose.

"Whoever made "Until Dawn" may have more resources than telltale games. Or a larger income to hire a larger staff, or far more qualified staff"
They don't. And Telltale is a pretty big studio by now. You really ought to do research rather than making random speculations. It's not hard to look up the size and experience of the studio.

So basically, the traitor only makes sense if you play the game the right way. Kind of defeats the purpose of giving the players choices, don't you think?
* Well it has been a couple of weeks so it's not unexplainable. (Though I'd rather see Gryff fucked up)
* It depends on how you look at it.… more Ramsay is a psychopatic yet very psychologically complex person. He was trying to see how far Rodrik would went. It's about how you play Rodrik. They WANT you to think that the "refuse" option is a good option, but in reality, the "stab" option proved to be more benefical. (And it felt frickin' good)
* Depends on your choices, my made sense and I had no problem with it. See my previous comment on this thread.
* O rly? We don't know that 'till episode six and I am pretty sure it felt great to talk to Tyrion again. His interactions with Mira are my favourite part.
* Yes, Gared and Mira's parts were considerably shorter, but so was the episode. Asher had way more screentime though. All of the parts were still enjoyable.
* discussed this matter thoroughly here in the thread posted by (you know who), it's… [view original content]
Just that minecraft gets 2 episodes in one month while we've been waiting for 3. I know the whole separate teams and all but still, it gets annoying after a while.
I imagine he's/she's throwing a tantrum because Minecraft EP2 came out before GOT EP6. It's funny, the people that complain about immature Minecraft fans seem like the actual immature children to me.
Yep. Looks that way. Honestly the release of episode 2 of Mincraft is good for me cause this means I have something new to play until episode 6 arrives.

I can't agree with that. My traitor gave more than one reason to why he did it. So long as you don't play the game in the manner of: "Duncan is my sentinel, so I will do exactly the opposite of what he says"... your traitor will be more sensible. Don't you see that the traitor only matters on one choice IF you play as I stated? If you play that way, then you deserve a non-sensible traitor. You have the power to avoid this, by simply supporting your former choice of sentinel, I mean isn't that what you wanted to do? The traitor depends on how you play the game. Entirely. What I'm trying to explain is that the traitor only matters on one choice IF you want it to matter on one choice. So the "illusion of choice" is really not an illusion at all.

Yes. He was squished by a horse and rolled in on a corpse cart. Lol, they are the last ones within the portucullis. What happened to the men… more that serve him? They got scared and ran ahead like cowards. Leaving there lords vulnerable. Didn't they. BTW an example: Japanese warriors would rather die than surrender or be captured by the enemy. So yes... Kill him.... Or not....

Well throwing a tantrum and being annoyed is quite different. Minecraft gets 2 episodes in 1 month, we have been waiting for 3-4 months to get the last one and most likely it will be on par with episode 5 (because why not).

I'm not, as long as Telltale is putting their time into it to make a great finale for us all to enjoy, that's all that matters to me. It could come out next year, or 10 years from now, but it doesn't matter IMO since we know we're getting it anyway

I can't wait until things are back to the way they are and Minecraft Story Mode isn't the freshest Telltale game going on. Honestly can't wait for the finale for GOT and the future Walking Dead episodes
I've known for a month it was November 17th. When you go to Gamestop, and check their preorder list, it lists "Game of thrones SD" for Novem… moreber 17th. And since no one else is manufacturing a Game of Thrones game it was obvious that was the release date. Still in the 0.0001 percent chance I was wrong, and it WAS some other game I didn't want to be the A-hole who bragged about knowing, and turned out to be wrong.

Most of the men that served him got slaughtered when they tried to go back for him, just saying. The Sellswords were under Asher's command, and they aren't the kind that sacrifices themselves for strangers. But the Forrester men went back in and were impaled by Whitehill spears.
There is also nothing honorable in getting killed by a petty fourthborn. In GoT, you don't get to have an honorable death most of the time.

Welcome to the Telltale forums!
how is this a troll job?
Happy October 27th!
I'm sorry, I just find a game randomly changing to Spanish language hilarious.

Wow just wow, way to just take a giant crap all over the GOT community. Thx telltale
R.I.P. GoT fans (including me)

They must know how impatient all the minecraft kids are. 2 episodes released in one month? Must be some kind of record.
What did they do?
How is this relevant to Game of Thrones?
Explain how it's a troll job? It's well known that TellTale has separate development teams for their games.

It isn't.
Yep. Looks that way. Honestly the release of episode 2 of Mincraft is good for me cause this means I have something new to play until episode 6 arrives.
I don't want EP 6 to end up with "This episode is so bad", "This is the worst game TT's ever made" on the first page.
It'd BETTER be good if it takes to long.
Tbh, I'm glad Episode 2 of SM comes out today. It's something to do that makes the wait for TTGoT a little easier, at least in my opinion.
Hell, we may have Episode 3 before then too.
At last, at very long last !
Winter is coming, but episode 6 comes first after all !
Well if throwing a tantrum is being mad for 5 mins, then not caring because it is just a video game then yeah I guess I'm throwing a tantrum.
I can't agree with that. My traitor gave more than one reason to why he did it.

So you're saying that the one who survived the Red Wedding will reclaim his honor by dying in the hands of a cowardly fourthborn?
Lmao.
Actually since the gap between the MSM episodes were like 14 days ep3 could be out on d 10th
4 months
Well throwing a tantrum and being annoyed is quite different. Minecraft gets 2 episodes in 1 month, we have been waiting for 3-4 months to get the last one and most likely it will be on par with episode 5 (because why not).
Not as impatient as the GoT ones.
After almost 4 months I'd be impatient too xD

Great finale?
Sorry, I haven't seen one since The Walking Dead S1
I can't wait until things are back to the way they are and Minecraft Story Mode isn't the freshest Telltale game going on. Honestly can't wait for the finale for GOT and the future Walking Dead episodes
*Tales from the Borderlands
I take it you haven't played Tales From the Borderlands?
And you didn't tell anyone wow dick move.
Damn, 10 years for one episode? It sure would be a hell of a episode, my kids would love it
