The latest IP to be sold onto Telltale's fad bandwagon of interactive cutscenes (as opposed to being an actual point and click...) is the Marvel universe.

They have to stop. Now. This is just too much for me to bear.

Who know's maybe it'll be really decent? Only TT game I've played are the Poker Nights and those were decent I thought. I've heard good things about Wolf and Walking Dead. I'll hold judgement until it's released. Though I know I'm not a fan of Point-N-Click games so who knows.
As someone who really really liked the first The Walking Dead game they did this makes me scared. When they started doing more and more games The Walking Dead season 2 suffered greatly. If they are adding yet ANOTHER series Season 3 is doomed.
Yay, more QTEs...
The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us were both really good interactive stories. Haven't played the Game of Thrones one yet But i expect it will be the same. Probably won't play the Borderlands one as I'm not familiar with that world. But, as a lifelong self-admitted Marvel Fanboy...I look forward to seeing what they do in that universe.

3 game series have been enough to tell me that I don't like these kinds of games.
It's also weird...I always hear people complain about QTE's and how they're the death of gaming, then likewise praise games from Telltale.
PS. This isn't me bashing Telltale, really, but you have to admit they're going overboard with the amount of games they're trying to juggle.

The games are well done and entertaining. I dont see why this is a problem at all. At worst case its not good and then you dont have to play it. Most likely its going to be as good as all the other games theyve made and should be enjoyable for anyone who likes interactive stories.

Its not overboard if each one is considered good quality

1) The games are sold at budget prices.
2) They are in line with old school choose your path books of old, only in visual form with a lot more tension on screen and time limits on decisions.
3) I wouldn't consider them 100% games, they are interactive stories but they are for the most part GOOD at what they do.
Well, if you want to really get into it since the Walking Dead the scores for Telltale's games have gone lower. Though of course it's on an episode to episode basis. Still, you could actually argue that the quality is going down. The problem is that this means nothing because this is all opinion based.

I quite like the style of their games. Granted they are more like interactive movies but I've always been a sucker for a decent story. I am concerned that they're getting a bit too flooded with all the different games they've been making lately and that the quality may suffer as a result.
They are interactive.
I think you would have a better time arguing the illusion of choice in the games as many choices end up not mattering in the big picture(but still feel important at the time).
But they are interactive by definition. You move your character, you do QTEs, you do the buttom prompt to choose your dialogue. That is INTERACTIVITY by definition.
They are. You press buttons...from time to time. I'd argue they're fairly predictable though - you can choose to save X or Y and after a while it becomes obvious that even if you safe one of them the other will die later no matter what you do. I like the character development though.
