Couple of notes for our GBeast editors, from a casual minecraft fan. (I haven't played much but I absorbed information from youtube people).
This looks WAAAAAAAAAAAAY better than Minecraft. There are shader mods that apply alot of the colour correction and lighting effects that make it look similar but Telltale didn't just take the vanilla look.
Animations are more natural here and have many more points of articulation (plus they can bend). I would have preferred more simple animations, actually.
Wither skulls are used to summon a wither, which is a giant black flying monster. Austin was thinking of a Ghast (white), which is an intimidating enemy, but a mere baby by comparison.
Minecraft basically is mods. It continues to have life because of the crazy things that can be added, even on server side. Whole other games have been recreated inside minecraft. MS paint is in minecraft, and can be played with servers full of people. The vanilla game is a platform at this point.
I really appreciate the GBeast style of quick looks (you didn't just spend 30 minutes shitting on it) and hope you keep it up!
I had absolutely no interest in playing this until I watched this video. Now I really want it. Maybe I'm just a fool but it looks a lot better than it did in my head.
I hate to be that guy suddenly, but for the first time in this entire series. Please.
Please, crouch walk. Please, interrogate. Please, try deploying at night if you're going to run around in a black suit. Please, kick out those troublemakers.
I feel like playing with Dan and playing on camera really rushed Drew through the early part of the game where you learn a lot of the fundamentals.
I want you guys to keep going, especially since the final episode is out next week. I prefer to watch you guys play narrative choice games because then it's more of a shared experience and creates interaction between you rather than one person playing and 2 people watching.
