Everything Wrong With Batman: The Telltale Series

Comments

  • edited January 2017

    I haven't watched the full video yet, but I would like to say that I really am tired of hearing Laura Bailey in TellTale games. She's a great voice actress, but I would like for them to use different people for their games besides the same ten people or so.

    Also, yeah, I think this series wasn't very outstanding and the final episode was pretty bad.

    Edit: Finished watching the video. It was definitely worth sitting through as he makes very good points on the many writing flaws in this game. I don't know if TellTale was having problems with their writing staff or something while working on this game, but this game has some very messy writing.

  • I had this problem when playing the wolf among us after playing the walking dead, as I kept hearing Clementine in both Beauty and Toads son, so it was really hard to get into everytime they were speaking

  • That's exactly what I'm talking about. I just get reminded of characters they previously voiced in earlier games and it ruins the immersion a little bit for me. All I could think of was Fiona in Tales from the Borderlands and Gwyn Whitehill in Game of Thrones whenever I heard Catwoman speak.

  • I kept hearing Serana from Skyrim :P

  • This is absolutely fantastic. Jesus Christ does this first season require massive disbelief suspension skills.

  • If you have good people, why try to replace them?

  • I don't mind Laura Bailey being in the games but I was kinda annoyed when I heard her voice Catwoman but I forgive her (Fiona <3) despite appearing in SO many games. Wish they got Grey DeLisle to reprise her Catwoman role.

  • Laura Bailey has a really great range though, enough to truly differentiate her roles in Batman from other ones she fulfilled in other games.
    I was juggling between Gears 4 and Telltale Batman for a while and guess who stars in both of those games ? Laura Bailey.
    I could not tell she was voicing Kait.

    Same goes for Troy Baker. His performance as Bruce/Batman is worthy of praise.

    No really don't change anything about the cast if possible, just tighten up the writing.

  • Cool I like Dartigan, he's usually pretty fair when it comes to this stuff.

  • Poor man's cinemasins.

  • A better GamingSins, though.

    The only sin that I highly disagree is Joker being the worst. Anthony Ingruber made a better performance than Jared Leto in Suicide Squad.

    EDIT: I had the same reaction as Dartigan at the moment where Bruce tells Harvey "When you kill me, you have to make sure I'm dead". That quote is supposed to be a reference to The Walking Dead. I dunno what it has to do with Batman universe. Was he forshadowing Lady Arkham's escape?

  • True, though thats not saying much.

  • Carrie Fisher died but she wasn't killed

  • I mean, shes only been a major character in 2 of Telltale's games. She had a pretty minor role in GoT and an even smaller role in Wolf.

    Erin Yvette has been in ever Telltale game sense Walking Dead S 1 (exception of GoT and possibly ANF) and she always sounds the same (except Bonnie) if any of Telltale's voice actors are overused its probably her.

    But then again, just like Laura Bailey, they are both awesome at voice acting, so I dont really mind if she's used alot. And to be honest I have alot of fun hearing actors who played characters who played past Telltale games in another Telltale game.

  • The quote says "People die if they are killed...", not "People only die by being killed."

    If people are killed, they die. That's a fact.

  • I'm confused now.

    You have to go literal with this.

    "People die if they are killed" is a fact. If you kill someone, by definition they die, or you wouldn't have killed them. They would still be alive if your attempt at killing them did not result in their death.

    What AronDracula said is "Carrie Fisher died but she wasn't killed". That's also a fact. But the problem is that it was a response to the quote "People die if they are killed". AronDracula did not give an example proving the original comment wrong. People still die if they are killed, by definition; even if Carrie Fisher died, but not by being killed.

    AronDracula's example would have proven the quote wrong if they had instead given an example of someone being killed, but not dying (which is a biological impossibility); or if it had been a reply to a quote along the lines of "The only way people can die is by being killed". Then their reply would have proven the original comment wrong, because obviously people don't die only by being killed.

    I'm confused now.

  • What? Are you paying for Cinemasins? Are you paying for Cinemasins spin offs? Are you paying less for Cinemasins spin offs? A poor man's anything usual means it's the cheaper version of something expensive. Your comment makes no fucking sense. Also, Jeremy even gave his blessing to these kinds of channels in an AMA on reddit so like... how are these lower quality when the daddy of nitpicking gave them a thumbs up? What the fuck even?

    Poor man's cinemasins.

    Dude, I could pull off a better performance than Jared Leto in Suicide Squad.

  • No of course not, just better than Jared Leto. I don't think you got the joke.

  • Jared Leto's Joker was terrible. Telltale's Joker has some potential, moreso than Leto's.

    I don't even like Dartigan. I'm just saying your comment is fucking stupid.

  • Riiiiiight.

    So basically you getting mad at me is even more pointless. Good job.

  • Wrong again, bucko because I'm not even mad at you. I'm just calling out your comment. Keep trying hard buddy.

    Let's both aim to make more civil comments, please. Thanks!

    At what? Your the one who commented on a 2 day old post, making something out of an insignificant comment about a youtuber that you just said that you aren't a fan of. Either you're trolling or are just bored.

  • Because I don't like hearing the same voices over and over in different games.

  • Either way, I think hearing the same voices with little difference in how they sound to be tedious.

  • At what? Your the one who commented on a 2 day old post,

    Is it two days old? Huh. Guess it is. It's completely irrelevant to the conversation, but it is. Didn't know that.

    making something out of an insignificant comment about a youtuber that you just said that you aren't a fan of.

    Again, I was just pointing out that your comment made no sense. It was no personal attack on you, nor did I have a reason to do it. I just do shit like that. You're the one who flipped out at me for saying your comment made no sense. And before you say "I didn't flip out, your the one who was the cunt", allow me to give some examples:

    Upset fanboy is upset. lol

    Assuming things about me and throwing insults before I even actually insulted you. To clarify, nothing that I said was being directed at you and targeted to fuck with you. If anything I was nitpicking your comment. My insults did not start until yours did.

    So basically you getting mad at me is even more pointless. Good job.

    Here's an extremely passive aggressive response from you instead of normally just telling me that you really didn't care what I was saying. Or, I dunno, respectfully ending the argument by either not commenting or politely calling me out for my rude attitude?

    This at the point where I said you were trying hard. Which admittedly was a dick move on my part. I do regret that comment and I was aware it'd upset you or continue the argument, but this site doesn't have a delete button so I can't quite do anything about it. I apologize for that statement as you weren't trying to instigate anything, nor were you trying to boost any ego for yourself.

    I was in a horrible mood, I was off my medication and people were fucking with me yet again, so it's been a bad day. Does that excuse my actions? No. But I do want you to know I apologize for that one. I, as I've mentioned before, have nothing against you or what you stand for. I was just calling shit out like I usually do because I'm a nitpicking cynical asshole. You don't have to forgive me because I sure as fuck wouldn't, but I want you to know that I am aware it was unacceptable to say that. And it was also pretty rude of me to call out your comment in such a blatant way, so I apologize for that as well.

    Either you're trolling or are just bored.

    As for this tidbit, I'd like to remind you that just a few weeks ago your were calling out a bunch of people on this forum for "whining" just because they were criticizing and calling out Telltale for their decisions. I could just as easily say that, or this conversation, was just you trolling or being bored. Again, this is not a personal attack on your, just something I thought was relevant. You've been a bit rude as well, perhaps not to an extent of how I've been in this thread, but you have to look at both sides of the discussion here.

    Keep trying hard buddy At what? Your the one who commented on a 2 day old post, making something out of an insignificant comment about a youtuber that you just said that you aren't a fan of. Either you're trolling or are just bored.

  • That's more of a personal problem I'd say :x

  • Okay? And?

  • The game's lagging and animation are terrible in Episode 1. I don't care enough for the story to keep going. Definitely my least favorite besides Minecraft.

  • I disagree. It has a great animation. The lag is the problem here. Also, you cannot say Minecraft is better.

  • If Telltale would let Tommy Wiseau direct this game, NOTHING would go wrong.
    Here's what company missed:

  • Mmmm, I think when compared to Borderlands or even Wolf Among Us, it's not even close. The lag makes it so hard to appreciate the look of the game. No, Minecraft was worse. I didn't finish it because I had too many problems trying to get the game to even start and I didn't care enough about the story in the end to complete it.
