Batman, a TellTale games series

No idea what it might be like, but fingers crossed.

I'm a bit burned out on Telltale. I'll probably give this a shot, but a bit more down the line. I hope the story doesn't center on the joker for once.

I feel these newer interactive novel style Telltale games are a bit overrated imo, I prefer the more Point & Click ones, Which are still getting made somewhat.

YES PLEASE, WANT NOW.

Assuming you're Batman himself, I'm sure the gameplay will handle the detective work part of him well, based on my experience with other TellTale games.

This won't be an action game, methinks.

Point, click, choose your own path, etc.

The Walking Dead Games and The Wolf Among Us were utterly brilliant, and I expect no less from this entry.

At first, I was wondering how they would do this.

And then I realized it could be an awesome detective Batman game without having all that action from the AK series. If they did it more of a point click adventure than the story centric Walking Dead/Wolf Among Us game.

Holy shit, TellTale needs to stop making new series and spreading their writing staff out.

I haven't played Game of Thrones or Tales of Borderlands but they were well liked so I don't think they are spreading that writing staff.

A Batman story with hard choices to make, branching storylines and a p/c detective system? Awesome. And even fight scenes in TellTale are pretty dope when you get all the prompts right.

While it was alright, everything past Episode 1 of The Wolf Among Us was not quite as good, and the series suffered from some obvious rewrites.

Season 2 of The Walking Dead was shit though, only barely redeemed by a handful of characters, and this is specifically because they split up their writing team.

I've heard everyone generally enjoys the Borderlands game, but I've heard plenty of people complain about the Game of Thrones one, and their Minecraft series is complete dogshit.

Borderlands is effing incredible and I personally really enjoyed Wolf Among Us the whole way through. I still need to play through the GoT and Walking Dead S2 though.

I mean, don't get me wrong, I enjoyed The Wolf Among Us quite a bit, but from what I understand they had a whole other different thing planned that got rewritten past episode one, causing the whole thing to feel rushed. Episode 1 was great, but after taking four months for Episode 2, it felt pretty inferior, and the rest of the series lacked the adventuring, investigating element from Episode 1/TWD Season 1, and just felt like one big constant push from point a to point b. TWD Season 2 suffers from the same thing.

You should give Borderlands a go. From what I hear, its their best so far.

I'm getting really sick of telltale games. They need to at least start diversifying the game play or start giving the player influence over the story.

I've never played a Borderlands game.

Neither had I. I still laughed myself breathless many, many times.

I didn't feel that, personally. It felt inferior to what?

Inferior to the previous episode. As I said, it lacked as much of the adventuring element as episode 1, and didn't feel like it had as much content. Maybe I got this irritated over this because I had to wait 4 months, I dunno, but the rest of the series in general just felt a bit rushed and not as well put together as the first part.
