    People say that if the youtuber murder mystery came out today, they would've had Dream, are, in my humble opinion, entirely incorrect. Look at the youtubers they had then: it was all the safe ones, the ones who don't swear and keep things family friendly, no Yogscast or anything. Knowing that, it's far more likely that they would've gotten the likes of Grian, Mumbo, or any others from the Hermitcraft server.

    Honestly, I really liked this game. Perhaps it’s just nostalgia but I do have fond memories of it. And, of course, the wither storm was an awesome monster and a really cool idea for the main antagonist of the first four episodes. That all being said, I also really enjoyed your review and I do agree that the writing is often flat and the characters somewhat boring but the game does have its own bit of unique charm. All in all, great video with great points. Keep it up!

    ngl I like how they're animated to fit the minecrafty style for silly moments, and overall, how their faces are animated like a stop-motion rather than stretching their faces like most minecraft fan animations. They have never been able to keep the blocky pixel style and animate them properly, so I appreciate what telltale was able to come up with, even if the mouth movements seemed off at times. (I think they improved on this in season 2)

    To me it felt like a big issue with this game was it not knowing how closely it wanted to stick to Minecraft rules, and when it made sense to. Its like every scene was written by a different team, some of whom went "We will be sticking to actual Minecraft game logic whenever and wherever possible" and another that went "We'll do it when its a funny gag" so no moment in the game feel consistent. Like you said, it feels like the characters have short term memory loss "Oh, I forgot in this moment ANY other player would just do X". Its like they couldnt decide if they wanted to appeal to their established fans, or Minecrafts established fans, and then did neither

    I've never actually played the game but loved it through watching people's gameplay. I loved it so much, my 10-year-old self made Petra my nickname because she was my favourite character. I kinda forgot about it for a couple years and rediscovered it semi-recently and looking back, the story isn't all that good. I don't have a reason to like it as much as I did. The fan content was funny, with the endless debate between people shipping Jesse with Petra or Lukas (or Romeo, for some reason). The game had good ideas with mediocre execution.

    The soundtrack issue was actually Microsoft's fault: When MC was bought back in 2014 after 1.8, C418 did not want to work with Microsoft, since it has a history of being very predatory with copyright. They basically said that any music he made for them would be owned by Microsoft, and he didn't want that, so he left. It wasn't a grand conspiracy or anything, just Corporations being shitty as normal.

    Season 2s choices have far better outcomes for which ones a player chose and here are some examples. At one point in the game you character and a side character are dangling from a cliff and slipping and then some random people come by and offer to help but only if you give them your weapons and if you choose not to then you and the side character fall and get split from the rest of the group and have to regroup later. But it doesn’t stop there because in the same episode you get ambushed by some ninja character who believes your an imposter Jessie and if you fell you have your sword and could beat him in combat making him realize only Jessie could fight like that or lose and need to persuade him that you are Jessie. Or the other outcome is that you don’t fall but lose your weapons but on the bright side your still with the group and can continue on until the ninja ambush where he bests you because your unarmed where you need to convince him your Jessie. Even for the ending it can end differently at least for a character. When you defeat the big bad you’re given a choice to either leave him in a place that will kill him in a matter of minutes or take him so he can face the consequences of his actions. If you leave him, he just dies. If you take him he’ll either sacrifice himself so the player and the rest of the group can make it out or if you did certain choices in the previous episode another side character will come charging through with unintentional help and get the villain out alive. Even characters appearance can change like in the first 2 chapters or so your given a choice to save someone’s sword or help someone get up from a railing or something and if you choice the get the sword the guy will fall giving him an eyepatch for the rest of the game but if you save him the character who the sword belonged to will just have some random iron sword or something. There is also at some point your given a choice to make a promise with a character which you can either promise or not promise you’ll do something and episodes later the choice will be given again and you’ll be given the choice to either keep or break the promise(if you made it) or another option. It has been a long time since I played the game and I’ve left out some details to not go into major spoils if you want to play the game in the future. I liked season 2 more than season 1 in many different ways so I definitely recommend to play it if you get the chance to because from what I can remember it was an enjoyable game.

    A big reason why I'm not too bugged by things that'd be plot holes given how people play minecraft (IE, digging into a wall and waiting for day so zombies burn) is because I'm not so much seeing it from the PoV of people who have played Minecraft before, I'm seeing it from the PoV of people who live inside of it and only have 1 life or they die forever. I don't think everyone would learn all of the nooks and cranny's of the game's mechanics if it puts their life at risk- as a civilian. In fact, there's a good video by antvenom that goes into how Minecraft's Hardcore mode is actually pretty cheap in that It's easy to learn how to do direct challenges, but soooo easy to just die out of no where, in a way that there's nothing you can do about it. I think one'd be understandibly hessitant to do some of the gamer(tm) strats that we know in Minecraft until (after) one actually gets accustomed to living the hero/adventurer life. Those zombies and skeletons aren't just robotic mobs working on a fixed program, They are dangerous creatures, who can kill you. Do you wanna really wait in a hole all night, and risk getting shot in the neck by a skeleton who was sitting in the shade or blown by an unseen creeper?

    There was a Gamasutra article that I found on the Wiki page for this game. It's archived, but you can still read it. They don't go into too much detail other than that they had their own server where they experimented in and documented everything

    With Soren's enderman maybe a lot of them didn't get hurt, and Soren had to know they would teleport when hurt so I think that's a good enough explanation, with Petra I got nothing, maybe it could be characterization? But yeah, it's filled with stuff like that

    crap "choices" if it was released today it would be destroyed , but I would kill for it to come back. It felt like it had some character? or maybe that's just nostalgia talking. edit: the only reason I think I want it to come back is so I can laugh at it. also character wasn't the right word the word is passion it had a lot of passion to the players and the culture of Minecraft itself.

    i love Minecraft Storymode and i agree with most of what you said... season 2 is much more fleshed out so i think you'd enjoy that game a lot more, the fights, the puzzles, and the choices are Much much better. MC SM will always hold a special place in my heart. i remember when Dantdm first played the game an i was so interested in the game an the story, man i really miss the good ol'days of jus watching youtube an playing minecraft as a kid.

    I remember watching my fav KZreadrs play the episodes as they came out, and it was always super exciting! Tbh I think a lot of the issue with this game is that it was obviously aimed at kids, but its episodic nature made it very expensive to play at the time, and confusing for parents to buy for their kids.

    I loved playing Minecraft Story Mode, it's a very fun game and I would gladly play it again. And I liked the description you gave the whole story of the game. Also you missed the opportunity to take the Axel route where alot of chaos happens and it's quite fun and worthy of review. I think you should also try to get Season 2.

    I had all of season 1 on my ps3 and when my parents would leave for work I would plug it into the big tv in the living room during summer break. I also had a wired controller at the time so my dog tripped over the wire while I was playing the game and it fell from wear it was which was pretty high but thankfully didnt break. That moment is what i think of when I remember minecraft story mode

    Story Mode's openning speech is *perfect.* It can be used in almost any genre and format. From a movie to short film to 8bit game to FPS. Its only let down by the dialogue and story being *too safe.* Had they taken more risks, Increased the variety of outcomes with serious consequenses, with a tad bit better storyline, game could be far greater. Most ideas were interesting. A group of legends lying to entire world, The old leader creating something that physically shouldnt exist *and* use it? An old member of the group being erased from history due to ideological differences? A coward portraying as a brave warrior? A hallway of interdimensional gateways that take you to different worlds? Villain having noble intentions but terrible approach due to paranoia caused by past experiences? All of them are great. But like I said, the starting speech by narattor is awesome. ''Every legend no matter how great, fades with time. With each passing year more and more details are lost. Until all that remains are myths, Half-truths.. To put it simply; lies.'' You can slap this on Mortal Kombat, on Call of Duty, On FUCKING SIMS 4 and it would still increase the game's point by sheer influence.

  • @lucky4035

    I personally agree to everything you said. The story had its highs and lows and was inconsistent and the characters had very little if any personality. The concepts of the story I felt was so cool but quite let down in terms of execution where the small scenes which complete the story were inconcsistent. The graphics and music was something I really loved though. Although nothing great I really liked it. The lack of freedom pisses me off but as you said I get that in a free game like Minecraft when condensed into a playthrough cannot be interesting if all you had to do was break a few blocks and build a bridge or something. Great potential and great game really but quite let down with some parts and scenes. Would like to see your opinion on s2 as that really fixed some of s1's critical flaws. Note that both seasons are not fully consistent with each other as s2 is happening after a long time since s1. Great vid keep it up my guy.

    I feel like the existence of Minecraft KZreadrs/content creators is partially responsible for this game's mediocre sales... I know I never bought it, but I definitely remember watching plenty of KZreadrs play it (which for a mainly story-driven game with limited gameplay, there was no reason to buy it when you can watch someone else play it).

    13:00 the reason none of the iconic Minecraft sounds are in this game is because Mojang, nor Microsoft, own the rights to it. When it was an indie game, the music, while commissioned for the game, was licensed to Mojang, not owned, and Microsoft couldn’t make deal with the original composer who wanted to maintain the rights to his music.
