Do people honestly think these choices matter?

[CrisWithoutH]

Just being curious, does anyone actually think that choices in Telltale's games have any meaning and that these games have any sort of replay value?

They do seem to be making decisions matter more lately, like in this game and New Frontier, it seemed like the story would be a lot different if you did things differently now unlike older games

I didn't notice it. I played TWD 3 with my friend when he bought it and it seemed fairly meaningless, like, no matter how you negotiate with New Frontier Conrad hates you, it doesn't matter if you stay and fight them with Clementine, etc etc.

Different chioces result in alternate outcomes. I've been able to stream this on multiple occasions already and all have been different. Though they indeed all "END" the same way in the episodes

No.
They don't lead to different outcomes.
You saved Doug or Carley? Doesn't matter, it won't change anything and the saved person will be shot by Lily anyway.
You were nice to Larry? Doesn't matter, he still hates you.
You tortured the criminal or merely interrogated him as Batman? Doesn't matter, everyone still hates you.
Harvey didn't become Two-Face? Doesn't matter, he's still Two-Face.
You tried to save Conrad's wife? Doesn't matter, Conrad hates you.
The list goes on and on.

And where is the prob? Yep, it does not matter. Yep, its the same ending.
But Telltale Games are often masterpieces in storytelling.

This is the reason i buy these games. This was discussed so many times in "Telltale" Games Community ...

This is a problem because the developers lie straight into your face that the game is tailored by how you play.
Also, masterpieces in storytelling? Don't make me laugh.
Larry is a random jackass who hates you because the plot demands in. Any interesting conversations with Carley/Doug and any possible character development are cut short because the game needs to nullify your decision and kill them.
The first season is full of plotholes, such as Clementine getting to the hotel in Savannah by teleporting, otherwise I don't see her getting past all these walkers.
Harvey Dent in Batman goes insane for literally no reason other than "the gas did it", which is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, because that gas does whatever the plot demands from it.
The fact that Bruce Wayne's father in Batman is basically Adolf Hitler is not only stupid on itself, the game literally tells you you can't get rich unless you send people to mental institutions against their will, whcih doesn't make one bit of sense.
Every single character in Season 2 of TWD is the most forgettable, bland example of mediocre writing you'll ever witness.
Michonne, on the other hand, is a prime example of a character with troubled past done wrong, because she literally has hallucinations about her dead kids every 5 seconds. That abou as subtle as a locomotive and it doesn't evoke any emotional response other than annoyance.

I usually play through them twice. The choices don't ultimately matter, but I think they do a pretty good job of letting you change how your character acts and the "feel" of the story.
Playing as good guy Bruce Wayne who puts on the cape & cowl was a different story than playing as Batman who puts on a Bruce Wayne act.

"Telltale games" are a known factor at this point, I think most people understand what they're getting.

It doesn't matter if you play as psycho Batman, nice Batman or nice Bruce Wayne and ruthless Wayne. It's the same. You still ally yourself with the police, everybody still hates you, Harvey is still insane, Hill dies. It's all the same.
Also, this guy in the discussion who claimed that the choices clearly shows that some people don't know what they're getting.

Never heard or unterstood the word "Advertisement" ...

You know, everyone's ignoring there's a small but rather obvious option in GOTG, the fact that you can either help rocket or help gamora. It probably doesn't change anything in the story, but we get to know only the backstory of the person you picked.
