Well, the games from Telltale aren’t really a challenge; I’d say they’re more like an interactive movie and quite amusing overall. But why on earth can’t you skip scenes, especially the recaps? What annoys me the most about this game are the characters. I know it’s just a game and drama is necessary, but do the dialogues really have to …
Read moreWell, the games from Telltale aren’t really a challenge; I’d say they’re more like an interactive movie and quite amusing overall. But why on earth can’t you skip scenes, especially the recaps? What annoys me the most about this game are the characters. I know it’s just a game and drama is necessary, but do the dialogues really have to be written in a way that you have to treat them like fragile eggs? Everyone is an emotional powder keg or a wimp, and I’m not talking about the complete insane enemies of Batman but the 'normal' people in the game. Has the dramatology gone completely overboard here, or does it partly reflect reality, where if you talk to someone and accidentally say something 'wrong,' they get offended, hurt, or sad right away? The characters in the game are extremely emotionally unstable, and that ruins the whole fun for me.

Honestly, it's been a while since I finished it, but I have fond memories of playing this series and I believe I enjoyed it.

So, I was halfway through episode two of this game (approx. 3 hours in) when it crashed in the middle of saving and this happened after reloading:
For some reason the environment I'm in is the police station, while Bruce Wayne seems to be already one scene ahead in the bat-cave, typing on his invisible bat-computer and sitting on his invisible chair. He also seems to be talking to somebody (the butler I think) but I can neither hear him nor see him and had to choose answers at random. I was hoping if I played like this until the next scene it'll be back to normal. No such luck, a few minutes into it, I couldn't progress anymore. I think I was supposed to do something but I couldn't see anything or click anything. Reloading again didn't help, using the local save file instead of the cloud save file didn't work either. I guess this is going into my discontinued folder. I'm not willing to play those three hours all over again. I wish Telltale would get their shit together and release working games, had a similar problem with TWD New Frontier where I played through the whole first episode only to have my save file deleted the next time I started the game. Very disappointed and slightly angry.

While the gameplay is still pretty much the same as any other telltale game and the plot twists weren't as bombastic as say The Walking Dead I still really enjoyd this game.
I really enjoyed intarecting with all the vilains and how they gave them a unique spin while still making them very recognazible.

It took far longer than I expected, but I finally finished it with a breakneck 4 hour stint through the final 2 chapters this afternoon. As with most other Telltale games, I enjoyed it....even though I'm well aware of its faults.

And as with all other Telltale games before it, I'm going to vow never to play another of their games again. Until Game of Thrones S2 hits. Because I hate myself.
