I've played the entire first episode so far. It's not even a point and click game. It's just a long QTE, with multiple choice questions inbetween that you can't actually fail (if you pick the wrong answer the game just chooses the right one for you anyway).

If you love Jurassic Park you'll possibly enjoy it, mostly for the music, but that's literally the only positive thing I can say about it. I doubt it'll improve as the episodes go on.

But what you are not understanding is that it is not there place to do that... it is the fans of the game's. Even then, you can replace a few words in your statement & it would still be absolutely true... shall we?

See? It is not like the haters of a game are the only ones who affect its score more than it needs to be. That & the fact that they posted those four reviews before there were even any other real ratings (besides one).

That being said... as I stated previously...I hate Telltale as a company with a burning passion. However, I will praise Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures to anybody who will listen. Do I feel that it is a 10/10 game? No...8/10... yes. What does this tell you? That even though you can hate a company, you can still respect some of the products they make.

1. They're using it to make money and put something in portfolios rather than as a source of entertainment.
2. The interviews with various developers indicate that after the release very few play their own work. Even if it's highly randomized as opposed to on rails interactive movie we have here.

I'm not understanding your point.... it was four different people from my understanding.

It is despicable, not that they would reviwew a product in which they have a stake in, but that they do it without properly disclosing their stake. Their actions do nothing but contribute to the general permissiveness and promiscuity regarding the fudgery bewteen roles/entities that flood society at large, and while here we are talking about nickle and dime implications i'm sure i don't have to tell you about the reach of the implications of the same non-disclosure principle taken to other areas of our lives.

In regards to stances like the one outlined by ChickenHero, from where i stand it's basically joining these 'legitimate reviwers of their own products' in their own cesspool. Some will undoubetly do it because they preceive it as the only way they have to counterbalance the industry's institutionalized cheating. Still, nothing to toot about or be proud of.

Edit: Typo's.

No, the idea is that one's integrity would lead them to disclose things about them that might have biased them in their review. "Disclaimer: I worked on the game." That's all it would have taken. For an offbeat game there may not be a large number of reviews and the lack of said integrity not only may unduly influence the reader but actually does massively inflate (or deflate) the score.

If you don't like what Chickenhero did how the hell can you defend what they did? They're the same thing.

I didn't say they weren't a subset of users of the product, I said they weren't representative of those users. There's a difference between the people who worked on the game and those who simply played it. Yes, it's possible for developers to get put on the rose colored glasses when viewing the results of their labor and it's fucking ridiculous to maintain that something that obvious is worth debating.

EDIT: But in the end it's about integrity. The three who did not directly disclose their relationship the game had none. The one that did had much more.

Telltale is still one of my most revered companies. I hope their rep don't suffer too much as a result of some employees.

What I don't get is if you're rating your own product, why not pick a 9/10 instead of a 10/10. It's alot more believable.

they were scared that their reviews will be the only ones to carry a 10/10 honestly though at the current price id rate it 3/10 probably 5 for good graphics but if they sold it for 5$ maybe its worth buying , seriously though if you want to remember the horrible times playing Fahrenheit get this game , you wont feel anything different.

Their Sam and Max series and TOMI were pretty good though so were the hardcopy dvd orders that they do, also they put up great sales once a while. I got Back to the Future too and thought it was good. I only liked the first movie of Jurassic Park after that I'm not really interested in it so I guess I'm skipping Telltale's Jurassic Park. Though I will most definitely buy the next S&M and Monkey Island iterations from them.

"inexplicably collapse dead on the ground" Usually that's from falling of something too high or etc... The game uses a controlled environment for its action set pieces but even then it still allows you full control of Drake (Mostly) ...

'If that's different that would seem to be a similar method of gameplay even though one doesn't have a big button flash up in your face. " May as well call all scripted events in gaming QTE"s then including Crash Bandicoot's boulder dashes (Which is the best thing to compare some of the scenes in this game too) rather than in Super Meat Boy if you jump a little too high in boss fights you die too etc etc

They expanded alittle too fast after the 3rd season of S&M imo. All the sudden they announced BTTF, Jurassic Park and an onslaught of other movie/TV franchises in a short period of time. Maybe they should take it slowly and concentrate on the franchises that made them great. Hell I'd be more appreciative if they did a Day of the Tentacle remake.

If they were rich enough they could just buy some good review scores a la Modern Warfare 3, amirite? LOL!

Just look at the press reviews vs. player reviews on metascore regarding that game.

Yeah Modern Warfare 3 is terrible it only gets high scores because they pay for the reviews everyone who played it themselves thinks it's a shit game and will never play it again. That's why there are only 25 people playing the game online and its so boring.

you might want to get the facts right though
