MabusIncarnate 07/19/17 1:35:14 AM #1:	Say what you will about Telltale and their games, this one was a gem. Good story, humor, choices, and overall a great experience. I'd welcome a 2nd season. Too bad Game of Thrones, Minecraft, and Guardians of the Galaxy (so far) were all pretty lackluster. --- Ten million dollars on a losing campaign Twenty million starving and writhing in pain <cite>MabusIncarnate posted [p:883185437] in Tales from...

Polycosm 07/19/17 1:55:18 AM #6:	I've only seen it receive praise and it's frequently cited as Telltale's best game. On the other hand, I haven't seen sales data but my suspicion is that it probably undersold most of Telltale's other recent games based on brand recognition alone. Aside from The Wolf Among Us, Borderlands is probably the IP with the lowest built-in fanbase out of all the properties Telltale works with. Also, many of the gamers who played Borderlands for the gunplay might not be interested in a QTE interactive novel type of game. So... underrated? Probably not. Undersold and under-the-radar of the casual gamer? Maybe. --- BKSheikah owned me so thoroughly in the 2017 guru contest, I'd swear he used the Lens of Truth to pick his bracket.

tamashii 07/19/17 2:25:24 AM #10:	I think it is brilliant, and has the best soundtrack of any game I've ever played, hands down.

Shotgunnova 07/19/17 3:04:14 AM #16:	TFTB definitely had some fun mile-a-minute humor, but its actual gameplay left something to be desired. Telltale's take on Monkey Island is probably the best of both worlds, at least of the ones I've played.

Game of Thrones is about as low-tier of a Telltale game as you can get along with Minecraft story mode imo. I go into these games expecting a few QTE's and some dialog decisions that indirectly change the outcome of the overall game. I still enjoy it for whatever the reason. --- Ten million dollars on a losing campaign Twenty million starving and writhing in pain <cite>MabusIncarnate posted [p:883187859] in Tales from...
