they are the publisher not the developer

you mean the same year

Sorry to disappoint you, but Gollum was published by Daedalic... so yes Gollum is a absolutely abyssmal pos game but its not the failure of gamemill ... rather the corpo fucks at daedalic who are tho blame for that one. And no that does not make it better... If you are interested here is a documentary on the reasons why Deadalic screwed up Gollum so massively: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/rqOrmmekrq9yx6s.html

When the games look like this, it's not that surprising

Kong was made by another company

It could have been Detroit become human but a plot people actually care about but they’re so lazy. I would have waited 10 years on the game to make the quality better but it’s just so clear these devs didn’t care. I really hope someone else can make a sequel or something that actually justifies the premise cuz this is GOLD they’re sitting on a literal gold mine

this is one of those developers that found out all you need to do to get your hands on an IP is ask

You almost describe an scam , these games are scams . Was the gollum and the king kong games having any barely decent quality at all ?? Nope . How Sony or Microsoft allows these crap on their stores ??

How is that creative when other games already have done it?

kid named Fate/Stay Night visual novel:

Why even pick it up???? Just pirate it if that’s the case

I'm sure this game will be I'm the 5 dollar bin soon

ClashedPR have you watched the Walking Dad porn parody of TWD?

Wow surprised to see you on a gman video. I watch your shorts all the time on UKposts and TikTok.

Bro why don't you upload anymore your videos were so good

I mean, it had a long successful break with telltale. It's post telltale that things went screwy.

So many shitty games in a row, one of these so shitty that was canned

Telltale had a simple formula with it that worked. Every other game however failed miserably especially Overkills FPS one

Maybe they should try not sucking.

This franchise has fully had its time in the sun. It needs to be sent to live on the farm.

It's not screaming that, it's screaming mismanagement and a team that doesn't care. None of this game would have been great if given enough polish. The most it could have been is a "mediocre Last of Us" and passed.

​@@DamienDarksidefr it's not always the higher ups, employees can mess up bad too. It can happen both ways

Like others said, not necessarily. Sometimes dev teams are cheap, lazy and passionless by nature. It's a job, and sometimes people just end up starting up a cashgrab dev outlet after college, and a dev team can be responsible for pumping stuff out the door for short term profits sometimes, it's not always artists Vs cashgrabby publishers, it depends on the dev team.

Dude I hate this constant excusing of dev teams lmao. Bro, it's from Game Mill. Seriously. Same people that have released Gollum and Rise of Kong, both are the cheapest games from the discount bin you'd find at the game store.

@@camblongkaras7121 I know people personally who worked on Gollum. They are not the kind of people who rush games out for a quick cash grab. But they were not given enough funding for the scope of the game that was expected by the higher-ups. And anyway, Game Mill was only responsible for the publishing of that title. Most creative people would not be happy with the state of these games, but the average joe programmer can't do anything about that. This is not their fault.

Hell, the telltale game has better visuals too lol

I bet "Still not bitten" team could have made a better action RPG/narrative choice game. Even using the revamped Telltale engine. With half the budget.

It has the same amount of 'choice matter' as Telltale. The choice is binary, and characters just replace each other in future chapters.

Someone pitched it during a meeting. Great idea! Waaaay too much for them to handle, though.

considerng that it was made by he same company who made the rise of kong and the gollum game, is it really that big of a surprise?

@@ragnakakthe robocop game was published by nacon and developed by tayon that i think made the rambo game angry joe hates. nacon is also a shitty scummy publisher, because of what they did to the developer frogware for the sinking city game. but gamemill is the publisher responsible for gollum, skull island and this, which are without a doubt the three worst licensed games ever released as well as the worst games of 2023 😂

Didn’t expect anything from the company that published rise of Kong 😂

When he started talking about how you can change the events of the TV show through choices I was like, holy shit what a missed opportunity. If they had picked a better dev team and given them more cash + got the og actors on board it would've been so cool

Lol. Lmao even

@@legend7951 It would still be severely limited with more cash and actors included, unless the choices wasn't binary. It's the reason why Telltale Walking dead doesn't work on a fundamental level. How fun is it to play as Rick in Shane's body, you will do the same anyway, say the same, feel the same. Try to play Telltale WD again. Then replay a chapter where you have made a choice between 2 people. They will both serve the same function in that chapter, and in many cases say the same dialogue. It's boring and creates the illusion of choice. True concept of that type of game would be to create a tree, where choices leads to different outcomes, not just in terms of characters, but setting, story, gameplay and so on.

That first sentence pretty much sums up all Walking Dead titles save for Telltale's

Even if they did not want that, they couldve used graphic style used in the later tv intros/ed if they wanted to distance themselves from the comic.

wouldn’t comic panel drawings be more work than just taking the in game 3D models and just freeze them 😂

Never once did it look like it had any potential.

Probably not the devs, most likely the publisher Gamemill being greedy and giving them no budget

Lmao tf are you talking about this franchise has been dead and rotting for well over a decade 😂

@@Juref98 Yeah. I've played both this and Gollum, and the gameplay is actually well enough (when not weighed down by glitches, mostly visual). Even in terms of adaptation they seem to be good enough at knowing when to change (and how to change) and when to stick religiously to the source material. I'm content the cause of the problem is Gamemill handing AAA-level projects to a A-level studio - presumably because that's the cheapest way to do it - and on top of that not taking into account that doing so will AT LEAST require more time to complete. Get these devs a higher budget, more time to work on the game, and a bit more time to get actual experience (and maybe let them partner with an actual animation studio) and they'd probably do great... but god forbid any publishing company in 2023 respect developers enough to do that, right?

@@Fartucus the ability to play through the game and change key events there was a lot of potential replay value to this

This version of me can’t protect you, Lori! He can’t do what’s necessary!

Both Survival Instinct and Destinies have the skeletons of good games. I remember they wanted to push SI to release prior to Merle's death in the show and was marketed as the prequel for Daryl and Merle. Due to the rush, it turned out as you stated. The case seems to be similar for Destinies but what I'm failing to understand is...why? Why rush this? The Walking Dead was at the height of it's powers in seasons 3 and 4 with something like 14 million weekly live viewers. So while it's scummy, I can see the dip shit corporate think of trying to release the game to capitalize on sales. With the series "finale" they barely cracked 1 million viewers and, save for the Daryl spin off, I can't see the audience being beyond that million or so die hard fans. So why rush this game? The Walking Dead has been...well...dead for years. Who are you rushing this title to sell to? It doesn't make sense to me. Destinies could have been an awesome alternate universe telling of The Walking Dead's universe like Gihren's Greed was for the Gundam universe. As it stands, they released this abomination.

If we want games to be good we as consumers gotta figure a way to support developers that make good games. They keep getting lost cause they put out good games but aren't marketed correctly when they need it due to executives strange obsession with viewcounts and Twitter likes. Games can live and die now by the burn or praise of whoever gets a game code first and says something clever.

incidentally, Season 5 is where I quit watching

I quit watching during season 4. Even season 3 it started going downhill. Those first 2 seasons though, I remember being obsessed with it. Looking forward to the great big post apocalyptic world to explore. But they just kept running around the woods and the most boring places imaginable.

When you play as Lee you know you can probably always sock someone in the face as a last resort if you need to, but I imagine the other seasons are just constantly running and hiding which sounds so lame, I liked leading a camp of survivors and protecting them

There is nothing intelligent about making a game based on a TV series and then emphasising its comic book version.

​@@johnboylan3832It would be going back to its root visually.

There is if the alternative was this fucking mess@@johnboylan3832

They almost certainly planned to animate them but then lost the budget or couldn't make passable cutscenes so they just posed the characters and took screenshots like they were playing Garrys Mod. That's actually even cheaper than drawing them, maybe they didn't even have the budget for that.

The walking dead killed off popular characters in the season 7 premiere because that’s what happened in the comics.

The difference is that Lost didn't kill off characters just for shock value. Every death served a greater purpose to the plot. When the Walking Dead kills Abraham, it's obviously for shock value because he is literally never brought up ever again.

There are plenty of characters who have different fates between the two. Like Sophia and Carl are still alive in the comics. Rick noped out of the show.@@onesaucynougat7471

Right

do they actually matter tho? i hate games when the choices dont matter. Wolf among us did choicing right when you get lots of ACTUAL endings

this idea would be great for comic games. Imagine a Batman/Spider-man game where your choices changed the plot.
