Some really good FanFiction stories... (rip telltale)

[Starman]

While I am waiting for episode 2 of the final season I decided to read some stories of this game. And my god, there's a ton of good ones. I am currently reading this one and its very good.

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8480643/1/A-New-Day

It has a total of 20 chapters and 166,503 words. Its exactly how I wished telltale made the orginal story with the option of saving Carley. This story even far more indepth into the character's than the orginal game. It actually made me feel bad for Ben, Lilly and Kenney while reading this. I truely recommend anyone to read this even though it came out in 2012 and was last updated in 2014. Carley does survive in this story, but the story is so well done I wished it was the main story of the game. And a relationship does grow between lee/carley and clem as the story progresses.

Heres another story, it is set before the apocalypse and it also has a great story to it. I really enjoyed reading it. The authors previous version of this story did lead up to the apocalypse. He redid this story to write it better. The story was recently updated in April 2018. It has 5 chapter so far, with 29,515 words.

(a completely different plot but it's still a awesome story 'set before the apocalypse')

(the orginal story with 26 chapters and 37,210 words. Both of them are equally good, the newer one is way more indepth though.)

A little rant on telltales part.......

- I just realized how close the Carley death is compared to the new game. Has telltale changed a bit? No, instead you got a teleporting aj at the end of the episode just for the shock factor. OH wait.... Its just like season 1 ep3. ♥♥♥♥ing bull$hit!! I for one can not forgive telltale after reading these stories and realizing how much of a game changer it would've been if Carley would've survived. Lee could have easily turned around quicker to take the bullet for Carley thus saving her. (lee wouldn't have died from the wound)

Or he could have pinned lilly aganist the rv without any shots being fired, once he saw lilly pull out the gun and aim it at Carley. Lee obviously cared for Carley so I don't think he would've allowed lilly to just shoot her in cold blood. I mean in the end, it's just pure lazyness on telltales part. It sucks for them as I am not buying anymore games from them after TWD ends. It isn't that hard to dedicate extra time to improve the story of your game to make your game better, while making more money doing so rather than♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥off customers with some "shocking" deaths just for the wow factor. Maybe telltale would've avoided that funding crisis if they actually cared more for their games. I do trust them with season 4. They better not mess up.

Rant over-----

I'm not going to spoil the story(s) I linked above for those who want to read them. I really recommend reading them, its well worth your time. I didn't mean to create a large post I meant to just share these stories as I felt they are really good... Butttttttttt it turned into somewhat of a rant as well. Sorry! :/

I heard telltale is shutting down.. Well RIP, I guess I was right after all!

They should've cared more for their games and users. Its well desevered to them in my pov. All they cared about is money, they made a excellent first game and slowly started to do a half ass job on their stories without allowing the users to make different choices ie: saving carley for example, altering the ending and the whole story. Thats only 1 choice out of many they could've included in the begining.

Exactly what I said above in my thread, its due to them being bloody lazy. Hopefully these sh1tbags will grow a brain and listen to their community in the future if they start up again. Maybe some indie developer will redo their twd series with the same characters and make it the way it should've been in the start. That would be awesome if someone did that and i'll definitely buy it if someone does that. Honestly I'm pissed off about how stubburn they are, and it just bit them in the ass. Haha. Well deserved.

yeah, quality of their game has been going down HARD since the first walking dead season. wolf among us was okish, but after that they devolved into these "interactive movies" with little to no gameplay. i mean, walking dead s2 was so dull on the gameplay side, pretty much no puzzles etc. havent played the batman game, tried the game of thrones one but that sucked so hard i refunded it.

So if Carley had survived they wouldn't have gone bankrupt?

Even if she did survive, that wasn't what I was trying to say.. It is a 'choices matter' game afterall, so she should've been saveable depending on your choices. I only used her as a example because she would've been one of the bigger plot changes if you managed to save her. She could've been able to take care of clem when lee goes out to find stuff after lee gets to know her more.
Like in that fanfic: ( https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8480643/1/A-New-Day ), it went deeper into the characters of the game. Along with a much better story than the actual game. Although that story is not finished and probably abandoned, it has a lot more detail in the story and characters than the game had in the first place. And it still had 166 thousand words with 20 chapters. I never regretted spending my time reading that story. Each chapter took me around a hour or more to read.
Maybe they still would've gone bankrupt even if they made the story the way it should've been. And I think it is all due to the as$hole ceo(kevin), the one who screwed the company over a few years ago. But at least they would've made the game how it should've been a long time ago.

Should she have been saveable? Sadly the story was made the way it should have been as it was their game which means they get to tell the story they want to tell even if that means a more preffered character dies.

rip telltale, i just wish they treated there workers and fans right, telltale sorta brought it on themselves cause that recent game that came out called detroit become human kicked telltales a*s.

Come on, making a game is much more difficult than writing a story, and if they really make many characters you choose to save alive till the end,guess what? We are still playing season two at the present.But I agree that TTG should concentrate on making games that really make money for them like TWD series instead of buying so many IPs.
