Not to the extent in Minecraft Story Mode, man.

If you don't mind getting spoiled for the TBF LP, you can always watch Bro Team's videos.

Tales from the Borderlands was actually pretty great. I even know people who HATED Borderlands 1 and 2 that really enjoyed it.
Unfortunately, it still has the all the problems that come with the Telltale formula, but I'd say its [I]arguably [/I]their best one.

I thought it burst after TWD Season 2.
Telltale's bubble burst halfway through the wolf among us, to be honest.

You guys should look forward to the next NBA2k16 part, it's [I]preeeeetty[/I] strong.
So the minecraft episode came up on vessel today
[sp]You see in that first Bro Team video, the guy does nothing and the game glitches, causing the zombie to walk away. This doesn't happen in SBF's video, and they die. They fail a supposedly unfailable game. Otherwise, good podcast episode, excited to see how much they shit on all this shit.[/sp]

No, there's no ghosts yet, but there is [sp]Vic being a scumbag, Pat slightly dying, and more offscreen development that we aren't allowed to see. There's also some hype from Woolie and Pat.[/sp]

Tales from the Borderlands was alright until Anthony fucking Burch got his hands on it.
You can tell the exact moment in the story where he gets control, too.

[quote]“Myself and [Gearbox writer] Matt Armstrong are constantly going down to Telltale and basically sitting in story meetings with them,” says chief Gearbox word man Anthony Burch. “We helped come up with the overall season arc of the story. [/quote]
He's the most tone-deaf writer I know of, being the most plausible reason for the awful mood swings of the game.
I didn't see the story ever get burchered, he's probably exaggerating what actually happened, knowing him
Anthony Burch isn't exactly bad at writing stories, sure he just writes average ones that don't take full advantage of a setting's potential, but his most obvious flaw is everything [I]around[/I] the story, not the story itself.
There's a pretty lengthy 4chan post that someone did that explains in detail why the story portion of his writing is not that good, and it's basically just about how he can't utilize the universe for shit, letting the tidbits take over until they actively make chunks of the story illogical. He doesn't write nonsense, he just fails at finding anything original and compelling to drive the story onwards, missing on really good opportunities in the process.
His meme-spewing feminism pandering obnoxious as fuck dialogue and flavor text is absolutely fucking terrible though.

Let me guess, is this because he relies too heavily on gag characters like Claptrap or Tiny Tina and gives them too much coverage? Or is it more of an issue with the humour taking priority over a well structured plot?

My problem with him is he doesn't think things through. For example, in Borderlands 1 the New-U stations are explicitly an in-universe thing, they are referenced multiple times. In Borderlands 2 he decided that they're not canon and wrote a story beat in such a way that they can't exist as a part of the world, the problem is the way he wrote it was entirely unnecessary, he could have simply written it as that character was locked out of the New-U system and side stepped the whole thing. Another problem with it is there's a side quest in the game where you have to kill a guy to save him from a cage, because he respawns at a New-U station.
So you have the story making the New-U station non-canon, when they previously were, and a side mission relying on New-U stations being canon to make sense. He thinks he's far cleverer than he is and his writing isn't well thought out at all.
It would be really nice to see if they played xcom2 for a bit and then continued the LP from the beginning. Their LP got me to playing xcom2, I started one difficulty easier than them(no ironman, lots of savescumming involved) and after playing it for a while I had to go for the easiest difficulty because the game is literally RNG bullshit.
But yeah, ironman is good for Let's play because no one want's to watch save-reload-save-reload shit. But it's dumb if you don't even get a chance

Actually it's because he made the New-U stations canon in-universe, but only when it's convenient for a joke or a side quest.
In the first game, New U stations are only mentioned once by a character, and that's claptrap right at the start of the game. It was a funny way of explaining how the enemies you killed would return, but it didn't have any further story implications and would remain a background element that could be only considered a gameplay thing. Kind of like Phoenix Down in Final Fantasy.
Then BL2 happens and New-U stations have a prominent place in the story, but only when it's convenient. Characters mention them, there's a quest that revolves around killing yourself to get money (because you'd be brought back), but at the same time Burch tries to maintain the heaviness and brutality of death while never addressing why exactly we should be taking death seriously in a universe with devices that literally make death obsolete.
Why is it such a big deal that [sp]Roland[/sp] would get shot and killed, since he's obviously been in the New-U system for several years ? Why would Handsome Jack be afraid of dying since he's in the New-U system and nothing is done throughout the game to remove him from it ? Why is there any tension at all when everyone is immortal ?
The 4chan post made a pretty lengthy suggestion about the story that, without altering any of the core elements of the plot, would also explain how people would suddenly stop coming back by including extra cutscenes showing Handsome Jack purposefully removing key characters from the system and adding extra quests to remove Jack himself from the loop, in order to permanently kill him. This is something that Burch visibly never considered.

It's also because there's tons of bugs with the game too, though- the amount of times bugs made him think he was safe when he actually wasn't was unacceptable.
Speaking of LPs no one wants to do...[sp]part 7 of reboot is up on vessel! It's the "I'm so fucking done and broken right now" episode as Woolie faces a boss that shows up out of nowhere and is almost legitimately impossible to beat. He might just have to nuzlocke this shit and stream it because oh my god.[/sp]

The tweet he put out right before was him saying the latest patch cleaned it up well enough. I think at this point it's more a matter of them not having the interest in it.
I didn't watch reboot until like 4th part because meh, but after watching it I watched all the previous ones and immediately wanted to see woolie suffer more through that seemingly endless trainwreck
