It's a playable TV Show.
It is a video game, based on a TV show. It is not a playable TV show because it's not a TV show at all, let… more alone one that you play.
There Are many reasons for it. But People Are different. Some People don't like the graphics, some People don't like GoT in General. Not everyone likes Everything.
Nor do I want, or expect them to. But if everyone could stop hating something (especially since it's pretty much always uncalled for) that'd be nice.
Am I serious about, what, exactly? Thinking Telltale's Game of Thrones is a video game, and not a show? It is.
Or do you mean about trying to correct the unlawful hatred of GoT on here? Because I'm also serious about that, too.
You People should Really move on with it. You didn't changed any viewpoints whatsoever. TftBL is still the one who got more praises. You can disagree, But it doesnt Change the fact, that TftBL is critically acclaimed And GoT isn't. It doesn't mean that got is the Worst thing ever. Bunch of dramaqueens y'all

That sounds like the closing speech of a failed argument.

The argument we've been having the entire time, of course.
What in my sentence is wrong?
All of it, for a start.
But it doesnt Change the fact, that TftBL is critically acclaimed And GoT isn't
Nor does it change the fact GoT has a second season, and Tales doesn't.
It doesn't mean that got is the Worst thing ever.
It does to most Borderlands fans, only go through the rest of this thread, all the other pages, to see that, that is true. All I've wanted to do this entire time is bring up the notion - not everyone hates GoT. Some people love it. Some people acknowledge how good it is, and it's strengths, even though they are a minority. Some people think it's the best damn game Telltale have ever done.
And I've done that, not alone, but I've done it. And I'm happy with the results.
Why Are you guys so Salty? What does that whole "they don't like the thing we like" bring you exactly? I Do like GoT, But i like TftBL more. As Do others. But we're one Community.
Indeed, but if you had to listen to people call Borderlands the shittest game anyone has ever made ever on a daily basis; meanwhile, hear about how GoT--a game you think is just alright--is the best thing ever... you'd probably feel the same. Salty.

GoT isnt alright. It's good. But These Are just opinions from other People. Just Ignore them. If you think it's fucking Amazing, than you have your reasons. I Cant speak for every TftBL Fan, But GoT is Not Bad.

Your Doing the Same thing, what TftBL Fans were Doing. It's critically acclaimed, But you don't like it that much. It's the Same As Loving GoT, Even If the reviewers didn't Do As much.
It's not even about Tales. Not really. It's about GoT. E.g. it's about how everyone gives it criticism non-stop... and deciding, for once, we'd flip that script. Not everyone was going to like it, obviously, but it is what it is.

I Do, too. But the reasons of why is just Beyond me. You Love GoT, Thats completely Fine. But don't try to Force People to Love it. Don't judge People Because they like Things you don't like.
No one's tried to force people to like or love GoT. We're just giving an alternative viewpoint that never see the light of day because we're bored of people incessantly hating on it.

Critizism exist, to make the Product better. Some People Do just Hate on got, But These Are just a minority. Many People want GoT to Be As good As possible. And it can only Be achieved by pointing out Things, that Maybe Not good, so that Telltale can make it good.

Debating isn't forcing your view on somebody, nor does it mean I judge them for their view, it's simply making points and explaining why your view is more rational. I respect other people's opinions, but I also like to challenge them, make the person explain why they have that opinion. Never once did I force people to love GoT. Nor did any of you force us to love Tales.

But there's a time and a place. And feedback makes a product better--in controlled amounts, anyway. However, unlimited animosity and hatred does not. These people, for the large part, don't give reasons. Again, look back through this thread, you will see what I'm talking about...
How does people running around going "got fuckin suckz tales is the bestast thing evarr" help make either of them any better?

Well of course I took your points in consideration and looked at the game from your perspective, that's kind of expected in a debate. I don't know why you think you know how I handled it.
Your right. But it's still a minority, who hates got to the Ground. The Vocal Minority. We (who Do like Both) give them a Rating And Thats it. Maybe wie should give GoT some credits, But i don't think, that it would Change anything.

Well, let me explain my take on it as someone, who never seen the tv show of GOT, neither did i play any previous Borderlands games, before playing both of this games so i started both games blind without knowing anything about the world, where it takes place.
Lets compare, the games and the two wich i saw as the main protagonists Rodrik and Ray.
Game of thrones, starts off as a celebration of winning an upcoming war.
But then they get betrayed, by their hosts, and a war breaks out, i play as the squire as one of the partys that gets betrayed.
Alright i get that, good way of starting a story.
Borderlands, i start of in a random building, people talk about crazy stuff like faults, and god, knows what else of weird things they said.
And the fact i was playing as a dude, who has in my opinion the charismatiscs of a turd, wasn’t helping either.
A very bad way of starting a story, and not a good way to keep me motivated, to play the rest of the story.
So as both of the storys progressed, Game of thrones really kept me intressted, the son of the lord returns, and has a hard time recovering from his wounds, while he also has to deal with their rivals.But he handles, it as a real realistic written character, and it made me have allot of respect for him.
Meanwhile Ray, keeps getting a bigger jerk, he has the most cheesy lines ever written.
And then he gets in a random fight, with some weird ass robo dudes or something. And an even bigger robot saves him.
Also, in game of thrones i didn’t like Asher, and Duncan ( i thought, he was the traitor from the start xd).
But they gave me the option of deciding their fates.
In borderlands, i couldn’t just make Ray dissapear, gods believe me i wanted to xd.
In GoT's defense, it's the game that got me into Telltale: I was looking for something (a game or a movie) with similar flavor to the show, and I remembered hearing a lot about Telltale via TWD, so I decided to check it out. Generally speaking, it wasn't a bad game. It started strong, at least. The problem ends up being that, unlike the show, where just enough "good" characters die to give the impression that the stakes are real, the game heaps misery upon misery on the Foresters to the extent that eventually you just stop caring; you learn to expect tragedy and just disengage. This became obvious by chapter 3, but the ending really drives it home. As much as I'd like to rank it higher, Telltale is primarily about storytelling, and the writing in GoT just wasn't that strong.

Are you serious? Whatever, man...
Damn right.
Am I serious about, what, exactly? Thinking Telltale's Game of Thrones is a video game, and not a show? It is.
Or do you mean about trying to correct the unlawful hatred of GoT on here? Because I'm also serious about that, too.
The First. Its a Videogame, but Telltale tries to Simulate the TV Show Format.
Yes, that is correct.
But it's still a video game, and not a TV show, playable or otherwise.
You People should Really move on with it. You didn't changed any viewpoints whatsoever. TftBL is still the one who got more praises.

You Seem to missunderstood my post. I didn't say that the Game is an actual Show. It just feels like a Interactive Show.
What Argument? What in my sentence is wrong?
And that's exactly what it seems to be.
Sorry. But i thought you would completely understand what i meant.
The argument we've been having the entire time, of course.

Is TftBL Critically acclaimed?
It brings us discussion and debate, something which I personally enjoy.
GoT isnt alright. It's good. But These Are just opinions from other People. Just Ignore them. If you think it's fucking Amazing, than you have your reasons. I Cant speak for every TftBL Fan, But GoT is Not Bad.
Unfortunately, by most people's definitions of the term, I suppose it is, so I'll grant you that one, I guess.
And something that's a rarity on here at the moment.
Your Doing the Same thing, what TftBL Fans were Doing. It's critically acclaimed, But you don't like it that much. It's the Same As Loving GoT, Even If the reviewers didn't Do As much.

Then do it. Try to make me Love GoT As much As i Love TftBL.

Exactly. Metallica And i posted our concerns down. You may disagree with them, But you should See the Game from our perspective, too.

It might make me sleep better at night :P
It's all we can Do At this Point. Telltale knows what worked And what Not. I didn't mean to came of As someone who knows Everything.
It's Not over. GoT has a Second Season And Telltale can Do some Things to make it work. We Fans did all we could.

This thread should seriously be renamed to 'GoT vs TFTB thread'.
Also, to the people that put TWAU to the last place, all I have to say is...
Good job.
Of the ones I have played:
