I thought it's common knowledge that Telltale Game choices are just a illusion?
Ryder Hill
I don't know why they even bothered to give a choice here since there's only one correct answer anyways.

Brandon Miller
Why the fuck would you think I'd defend this?
Yeah but at least they managed to keep it somewhat interesting and the endings DID usually have some variations, either in dialogue or a few scenes. LiS just straight up has 2 choices that play out exactly the same.
Try out Telltale's Guardians of the Galaxy at some point if you'd like. Lots of people didn't play that which I thought it was a shame because it was one of their better games since most of the choices in there do make some sort of change to the game now. The ending can branch up to around 3~4 variations, each with different changes in dialogue based on whatever you teammates think of you.
Carter Ward
The whole point of the LiS story is that you can't change fate, so of course all paths end with the same choice
Landon Jackson
Only general niggers from /vg/ and discord trannies defend this trash "game".
Sebastian Stewart
That's more like a kid passing in a bad assignment and trying to say "Well, wasn't the point of this assignment to fail?" and thinking he'll get an A
Brody Hill
Look, the game is cringe as fuck sometimes and Chloe is a cunt; the ending choices were kinda shit too, I agree, but I did like the game. It was fun and got me legitimately curious about what would happen next. Fight me. but have in mind that I'm talking about the main game, the DLC was trash.

Caleb James
"Your choices matter" was always a meme. True gameplay freedom is only found in a handful of non-cinematic titles such as early Fallout games.
Wyatt Morales
i'm Yea Forums and i won't defend this in a million years.
Carson Ortiz
Also Japanese games
Yes. This is a fault of even great games like Deus Ex
Kayden Richardson
Also forgot to throw in
>Shadow of Memories consists of eight endings, with six available at first. The last two must be unlocked by achieving the first six
Western games are too in love with their writing to offer multiple choices.
Brody Wood
>Also Japanese games
Uh-huh.
Dominic Gomez
>Westernfags have to keep referencing old as fuck games
Grayson Robinson
>holding up a CYOA-style game like Way of the Samurai that constantly locks you into cutscenes and rigid, pre-scripted branches as a positive example of branching narrative
Something like Fallout is a lot more interesting, since it gives you complete gameplay freedom to mess with the game world in any way you wish.
Jason Wright
Hey I don't disagree as Fallout 1 and 2 are great games
But not only are AAA western RPGs dead, they're all incredibly linear.
Luke Davis
Holy mother of bad and nonsensical analogies
Jackson Gutierrez
gotta be a jew about those sequels. can't make them too convoluted and complicated from all those multiple endings and have whoever's in charge in storytelling get too creative now, can we?

Is this nonsense supposed to distract you from the fact that there's not a single japanese rpg with properly branching quests?
Justin Smith
That movie literally bankrupted Square.
Gavin Wood
Am I the only one that really liked Before the Storm?
Brayden Scott
Is there a western RPG with properly branching design?
For example, Fallout 2 is maybe the most open RPG ever made, but the main quest is still super linear - the oil tanker borderline becomes a puzzle action game because there's basically only one way to solve it
Deus Ex was originally going to branch into letting you stay loyal to Unatco, but obviously had to cut that to meet deadline.
Carter Taylor
Depending on what your criteria for branching quest are.
In 2 there are still traces of non-linearity in the main quest that come from which set of clues gets you to Vault 13. Obviously missed by people who always replayed the game in the same order.
Brayden Rodriguez
if you're asking for sauce, it's Hey Good Lookin'. Yea Forums had a thread a while back about some Bakshi films, i think and this was one i never seen before.
Caleb Harris
It's on sale now. Should I get it?
I don't really care about branching paths and different endings as long as there are callbacks to my choices and I get to ruin a life or two in the process.
Julian Hill
What did you think?
Ian Hall
This user gets it. What other choices did you people even expect?

Nolan Hughes
The only game with an actual decision is Witcher 2, when you choose to side with Roche or the elves. And even then, it's just one choice.
Reminder : if your "choice" means you'll get 2 line of text instead of 2 different lines of text, it's not a choice.
Daniel Flores
DLC? You mean Before the Storm?
Evan Gomez
>Reminder : if your "choice" means you'll get 2 line of text instead of 2 different lines of text, it's not a choice.
This.
As a man critical of Telltale style games and writing my own CYOA: I've noticed while doing it, that sometimes I fall in love with the dialogue I'm writing, and I'll run off on tangents on how I think the characters could respond to one another
And... pointless choices like that are just that: Pointless. Unless there are systems your dialogue choices can effect, then there's no reason to have it other than to try and make your game more cinematic.
Xavier Jackson
it's a keeper. i'm a sucker for weird old animation. it's endearing to me, so long it doesn't stray too far into unhinged John K territory. plot's nothing to write home about, so i can see why critics weren't impressed. but the whole greaser aesthetic made me stay and wished i was alive to see what 1950's NY was like actually.

It's my favorite of his work, easily - and Wizards was that for years until I saw it. (I thought Coonskin was obscure, Hey Good Lookin' was on another level.) Gang films are a favorite and this movie really scratched that itch.
Dominic Sanders
I like it too user
Nicholas Brown
Yeah. DLC, spinoff, whatever the fuck that is.

>game is literally a movie, with a script with a beginning and an 2 endings, where you just do some shit with your mouse

Fuck you OP, stop making retarded threads.
