telltale's formula definitely wasn't perfect, but it was certainly a hell of a starting point. series like life is strange are taking the telltale formula and experimenting with it to try and make something better, and i think that's great. i'm sure the story game wave has been long dead at this point, but whenever it resurfaces i bet whatever devs come up with is gonna get people talking again. cus there is absolutely a place for that kind of game, it just has to be taken a lot further than where telltale and dontnod have left us
