That's why I said it's halfway between the two styles.

I can't play any game called Snow Place Like Home.

I *really* wanted to like these games, but it's too "Telltale" and not enough "Sierra".  The production value is impressive, but that's about where it stops for me.
nah its not ttg style
if it was, it would be 90% QTE and 10% dialog lol.

There are also puzzles, though, which still beats out TTG.

To be fair, some TT games have puzzles. But it does depend on what you mean by puzzles, nobody does old Sierra style "try every item until you find the right one to click on the object" puzzles anymore. I kinda think of TT games as more interactive stories, particularly their later series such as Tales from the Borderlands (greatest game I've played in many many years).

haha I also loved tales from borderlands!

and yea I meant it would be pure QTE not just some..
and no ive not played past again chapter 2 of this lame new kq game its just boring.
the "puzzles" annoy me and hurt my head how lame they are..

ill take the old LA/sierra click all items on everything mode over this junk.

and still this new dev cant make a proper save system
once the game nears the end people will have like 30 save profiles in order to do stuff different ways each chapter to effect the end game waah,
again this is where TTG got it RIGHT
REWIND... replay the chapter and see new outcomes!
autosaves! short episodes vs long ones
as much as id prefer longer episodes  ttg figured out how to not annoy people with those choices and allow for room to change them..
odd gent doesnt allow for this.. spit..
oh you want to go this way? well  replay chapters 1-3 again.. all over again..
zzzz

wake me when its over and someone mods the saves to allow MANUAL SAVING.

(what happened to save early save often!)

I prefer, from a developer point of view, not allowing manual saving like the old games did. Saving becomes a game-play mechanic (take the pokie machines in the early Sierra games as an example - save and restore until you've got all the money). But so many fans are all about having as much control as they can so I hear that argument too.

im not the kinda guy that demands or wants manual saves in all games
but in this kq  as you can see even just chapter 3
requires a few save slots which pc doesnt have,
you have to manually back up the files, (which is worse  adding a manual save option or forcing consumers to back up saves manually so they can backtrack ?)

lame save system, at least let us rewind to parts of the chapters and id have no problem with the save system.

but nope..
one of the main reasons i wont touch that game is that..

I will admit the trailer got me slightly interested.

I read about it, PC trash that violates the spirit of kingsquest hard and slow, like silverlining did, done by people that mean well but where not there and can not consider to understand the feel of the thing.

Its non-canon bs after the fact in my view, (OOC bad fanfiction) Conors game was even pushing it in my opinion (unless you supplement with the agdi fanfiction adaptation) which tries to patch things up with the cloud spirit cut-scenes, not cannon but oddly satisfying.

Agdi got it with there remakes, the right feel, with romancing the stones which was a great re-imaging that added something, but lost nothing, and there kq3 redux was gold.

It had no propaganda and anachronistic adaptive social commentary added ''read bullshit'' which I believe has no place in anything called kingsquest.

These people have there head up there butts so far they even have to change king Ghram being a noble, to start with, because that is not very politically correct, cant these a-holes even leave the past alone? The fantasy past no less. Talk about being insecure.

They should just make there own little nuttbuddy circle jerk games and leave nostalgic art to people who understand it. I am surprised they don't try to re imagine or remake peoples butt-holes in digital format to be more pc.

These games were sacred and innocent and I don't like it when people drop there pants and crap all over them, well meaning or not.

Yet some of these these people will never understand the true appeal of such games and there  adaptations and re-imagings are about up there with the Freddy Kruger or night  of the demons remakes.

Its like hellraiser with a not-Doug bradly fake or missing pinhead, holding a intervention in hell wearing a red pantsuit and funny black rimed glasses while listening to justin biber.
