What are your thoughts of Minecraft story mode?


Recommended Posts

Yep *Prepares fire shield* :)
 
The trailer at minecon got a lot of hate that I think is just, silly for lack of a better word.
 
It was just a trailer and considering we know little about it or have not seen actual gameplay people are generally taking things out of hand.
 
The Walking dead season 1 and two were awesome so its not like this is some untested rookie studio, these guys know how to make compelling games.

 

Point is: we should wait for more info before overeacting over something we know little about.
 
Anywho that's my thoughts on the subject, what about you?

Actually, I'm really interested. TellTale Games is a truly epic company. What I want to know is how the story's going to be set, and how much of an effect your choices really will have. Truth is, these guys always get hate for their games before they release. The Wolf Among Us was severely hated before it's release, buuuuut, now it's one of the good games and the fans beg for season 2. The Telltale fanbase is vicious. I love this idea, yet I have so many questions.

I don't understand how telltale can go from the walking dead and game of thrones to... this.

 

This is literally the worst thing to come out of that company, why is this getting development instead  of TWD3?

Telltale Games has different teams on different games.

 

Also, these guys have made children's games, like, E10+ Children's games...

I think they know what they're doing. Also, Minecraft is one of the biggest games in the country. 

I don't know, I think the fan base is just overreacting. They wouldn't do this if they weren't going to make it good. Personally, Minecraft with some drama is just my forté. I think they're going to take this in a whole new direction. For the better.

Minecraft just seems like a waste.

 

The beauty of Minecraft was the lack of actual lore and how players were made to interpret the world themselves. All these crazy and compelling fan theories were a result of Minecrafts specific design choice to primarily focus on gameplay. However this just seems like something forgettable. I like Telltale games but it doesn't fit a Minecraft setting. Are we going to make choices like "Do I build the house out of wood or cobblestone?" :hrhr:

 

I have a feeling what is really going to happen is they're going to introduce a story into Minecraft and explain the world in far too much detail and I don't like that. I like what little it has. Its what made younger me use my imagination to figure out what the origins of my character and story were.  I don't want future kids going into Minecraft and have that experience taken away from them. I want them to use their own thoughts and come up with their own story on what The Ender really is or what the players purpose really is. I don't want "Oh well the Ender exists for reason X and that is why there is only one Ender Dragon" and I'm afraid that is what this game will do. It will add a background story to Minecraft. A background it doesn't need.

 

Most games these days have everything setup before hand. Games decades ago didn't.(This was the result of limitations hardware had at the time) and instead they relied on the clever design decision of using art to convey the story. They allowed games to interpret elements of the game in their own way while providing just the amount of story they need.

 

 

I'm going on an endless rant but I just hope this is a novelty game and nothing major. My hope is that this is "something neat for MC fans" and not "This explains the background story for everything Minecraft"

 

//end rant.
