Quite frankly, the first 3 were cringeworthy and not using the minecraft universe at all.
The 4th was a good surprise, and the 5th is really getting a hang of what the minecraft vibe is, there is no doubt that if they keep going that way, it will be an excellent story within THE minecraft meta-verse.
No it's half the price of the main game.
What we get right now... is a 'full story' of 4 episodes, and the 5th one that was supposed to round up the ENTIRE package, happens to be a bait for us to buy the adventure pass for 3 more episodes. I don't know about any other telltale games pulling the same stunt.. but this is not something I appriciate. I'm seriously thinking about not finishing episode 6-8 and recording them for my channel. They gave us a short story that was supposed to last 5 episodes, but now lasted only 4, and then slapped on another episode of an entirely different storyline, that forces you to buy the next few parts if you want to know the entire story.
Now... they gave us a shortend story ( 4 episodes instead of 5) and then added the next chapter of an entirely new book, of which you didnt even knew it excisted. Your appitite is wetted, but if you can't pay, you are left with a bad taste in your mouth. I bought the game, expecting 5 episodes to form a fully fleshed out story, but the 5th episode is basicly just a teaser. Not what I paid for.
I SERIOUSLY hope, that those who bought the game in the first place, before this 5th episode, get episode 6-8 for free. Where did they ever mention we'd be paying for 1,25 stories? This 5th episode basicly stole an entire episode that was supposed to round everything up nicely. Yes... episode 4 was the end of the Witherstorm/Order of the Stone storyline, but episode 5 should have been a part of that too, not some unfinished thing that came with the first package.
I can only see this, as buying Skyrim, and you'd get the first 2 quests of the dawnguard DLC as an 'extra'. Yea... fun... now if you want to know more... go buy the full DLC, cause we are cash cows...
I'm not pleased with this sales tactic.
Why? This isn't a realistic viewpoint at all. On Steam there is only one purchase option which is a single purchase for all five episodes so how would you regulate that when everyone would have made the same purchase
On the main store page, we were promised a 5 part episodic series. We recieved a 4-parter, and a fragment of a new 4-parter. The game has been sold under a false statement.
I'm writing up a transcript right now for a video I'm planning to create about this matter, and how my excitement for this game suddenly dropped.
The store page states this
In this five part episodic series, you’ll embark on a perilous adventure across the Overworld, through the Nether, to the End, and beyond. You and your friends revere the legendary Order of the Stone: Warrior, Redstone Engineer, Griefer, and Architect; slayers of the Ender Dragon. While at EnderCon in hopes of meeting Gabriel the Warrior, you and your friends discover that something is wrong… something dreadful. Terror is unleashed, and you must set out on a quest to find The Order of the Stone if you are to save your world from oblivion. [/quote]
So which part of that didn't occur then? As there's no point there where it states how the story will be delivered over of those five episodes. However you were asked a specific question do you actually consider what wroteyou to be a realstic expectation.
In regards to your question... yes.. it isnt really a realistic expectation, but it was the first to come up in my mind. A different sollution, would be to do a refund of around €5,- ( my currency is euro's and it seems each episode is around €5,-) we paid for 5 episodes of one comprehansive story, but only got 4, and the beginning of a second adventure tagged on.
The game was sold under the pretence of it being a 5 part episodic adventure... only 5 parts and then it would have ended. Story complete. We however, only got a 4 part episodic adventure ( the story about finding the order of the stone, and everything around it). Sure... we got a 5th episode, but that technically is the first episode of the DLC. We paid for a full story of 5 parts, but now it seems, with the arrival of the DLC, that we are actualy looking at two 4-parters. The original story, and then the DLC starting with Order Up.
I can compare this to buying a book. The storepage says the book will be 500 pages in total ( 5 episodes, each 100 pages). When we finaly get the book, it appears we only got 400 pages ( 1 episode missing) but we still got the full story. But... those 100 pages worth of story.. where did those go? What information was removed, what wasn't told? We won't know... but there is still the chance that the original story, with 500 pages, would have been longer and even better written. Certain plot-points might have recieved more attention then what they got right now. But... we can't know that now.
The game being sold as a 5 part adventure, can't suddenly appear to be a 4 part adventure, with 1/4th of an adventure added to that. Technically we did not get what we paid for, and thus the game has been sold under false pretences.
Don't get me wrong... I really liked all the episodes we have recieved. But I can't shake the feeling, that we sort of got scammed. Sure... they added the first part of the new adventure... but it's not what we paid for, and if we want to fully play the DLC, we have to cough up more money.
When buying the game, we didnt knew there would be a seperate second adventure. We didnt buy it because there would be a second adventure. We bought a game that was supposed to be a single adventure of 5 episodes long.
A different solution? A solution would imply there is a problem which needs fixing which there isn't. You got exactly what you paid for five episodes of Minecraft Story Mode.
No it was sold as a five part series which is also what the price got you. Where in the product description does it state the story will be concluded at the end of those five episodes and will not be a setup for a second season or a continuation of the first in some way?. Because Game of Thrones season one doesn't conclude it's story and has been confirmed for a second season does this mean we should get the second for free because the story of the first leads into it? You are aware Telltale have several series where story is not concluded immediatly why is this one different?
