In what way? Even assuming for the sake of argument that WD had a better story than Heavy Rain, Heavy Rain had better gameplay and actually ran well. WD ran like absolute trash.
And yes, I know Telltale games probably run fine on good PCs, but if they are going to put them out everywhere, they shouldn't only run well on one or two platforms. Especially considering they aren't even graphically intensive games.
I'll definitely have to download this and check it out. Hopefully they have some modes now that don't include bots.
I tried to make the decision, but Telltale's crappy game engine lagged and it wouldn't let me make a choice before all the options went away and it assumed I said nothing.
Don't forget that game came out when Americans were too busy playing shooters on the Xbox 360 to notice any of the great PS3 games at the time. Basically, unless they were made by Naughty Dog, PS3 exclusives got ignored here.
Good. I hope more people wake up to how mediocre these games are, and that Telltale only has success because they have such big IPs. Heavy Rain was a much better game than the Walking Dead Season 1, and it was out well before Walking Dead, but everyone still freaked out about walking Dead and Telltale as if it was some kind of revolution.
Not everyone, but plenty of people are.

Don't pretend to be stupid enough to buy into Metacritic user ratings. No one is that stupid, so it just comes off as sad.
I'm sure they will have some lame story when it comes to Xbox about how "it's good now" because of updates to try to justify their earlier hate.
You really have a vendetta against this game. I hope bashing this game is making you as happy as COD and Gears will this fall.
Yeah, a lot of Xbox One owners are super disappointed they can't play with their friends in this game they were never going to buy for this system they don't own.
Most of the people complaining are the people who ignored every preview and expected the multiplayer aspect of WoW and the storytelling of Mass Effect.
I have it, and it is fun. You don't have a console to play it on, so you are regurgitating complaints about it from other people who haven't played it. Not every game needs to be multiplayer to be good. Single player games (like this one) are fun too.
Have fun playing COD on the Xbox for the 10th year in a row. I'll enjoy new, different experiences like this that you feel the need to bash without playing.
Well someone has to counter all the Xbox kiddies who are jealous they can't play the game.

Sean Murray said time and time again that people should not try to do that, because this wasn't that type of game and it wouldn't work out. I hardly see how they "fibbed" on that point. They have been hammering for two years now that you don't play this game with other people.
Honestly, on a game millions of people are buying, did people really expect to all be in the same instance? Ridiculous.
Dark Souls does it:
Wow, this series is so hardcore. Games today are too easy, and the Souls series brings back the challenge of old school gaming. Games should learn from this design.
No Man's Sky does it:
Wahhhhhhhhhh! This game is stupid and boring. Why do I lose my items when I die/save spam? That is poor game design.
I agree with you that it isn't technically an independent game, but it still is seen as "indie" by a lot of people.
I could be wrong, but I really think we are going to look back on the release of NMS as one of the defining moments of this gen. It could be one of those games (like Rocket League before it) that changes many people's perception of "Indies."
It's just really exciting at a time when so much of the AAA space doesn't seem to be doing anything groundbreaking.
So if you complain about a game you get called entitled, and now you get called entitled if you don't complain. You should write for Polygon.
