Yeah. It's not mechanically linked to the original game in any way. Just inspired by it.
Yes? Low 80's isn't very good, 85/B is considered to be average. C's are you barely passing the class, anything below that is basically failing.
Even in middle/high school, the 80's range/B was consider to be average. Nothing really to be proud of.

Thanks for clarifying, I saw the season pass and incorrectly assumed it added on to the main game.

Just finished it. The podcast I co-host called The Gaming Outsider will be recording a review episode on this game tomorrow.
The game is certainly aimed towards children. The story was kinda boring up until the halfway point where it became a little more fun. Didn't really care for any of the characters. One of the lesser Telltale games but kids will enjoy it.

In NY Public Schools a B isn't good and is only "average"?
As a public school teacher myself, B's are good, you are performing well, but you could do better and have room for improvement. Probably a few areas you can improve, give more effort, could have had 1 poor test, etc.
Also, assuming you were talking NY Public schools (I do not teach in NY btw, I am in Indianapolis) I know NY Public School still use the same GPA Scales as all other schools. So a B is still a 3.0, and these are the exact same GPA Scales used by colleges for entrance requirements. Sure, some colleges may not let you in with a 3.0 average GPA because of their specific requirements, but some smaller colleges will still accept that for entrance.

80s are great scores.
I go by and write by this:
A - 80-100
B - 70-79
C - 60-69
D - 50-59
Fail: 49 and below
A much better scale

Think what makes it worse as well is that this is coming out before they've even announced a date for the last Game of Thrones episode. Basically saying yeah fuck those guys we already have their money lets try and sell our new thing first.
Tell me about it. Game of Thrones is terrible and I'm only looking forward to the last episode at this point for the Platinum Trophy, but yeah, fucking Telltale.
I have no idea why Game of Thrones was an uncharacteristic 6-episode series, in the first place. 5 is clearly the sweet-spot, no idea why they decided to fuck with that.

I'll pick it up during the 2016 winter sale. I'm not even worried about the reviews, I've just played too many Telltale games this year.
Just finished episode one and I gotta say it was pretty enjoyable. This is the first Tell Tale game I've played and I like what they did with it. Playing this though just made me want the real Minecraft to add things like better lighting and effects because honestly this game looks incredible and even though there are mods it would be nice to see Minecraft get a nice graphical upgrade. Overall it was very easy and easy to 100% but I'm interested to see where the story goes.
Here are some screens and it would be totally doable as well to make Minecraft look this good without taxing systems that much.

Didn't like this one bit. I love most of what Telltale has put out, but this blew.

So I saw this is already 50% off on GOG. Didn't the first episode just come out?

Quickest telltale release between episodes? Quickest telltale release between episodes.

Played the intro of this the other day with my two nieces. It's quite good.
Unless you have a younger relative who also wants to play it... not really. It's clearly a game designed for kids with everyone else as an afterthought. The plot is really simplistic and generic, and the gameplay is even more linear than the typical Telltale game.

I got episode 1 for 10c and my son beat it. Ended up using my Google rewards credit to buy the season pass for 15 on Android. I actually ran through it this morning and quite enjoyed episode 1. My son is playing episode 2 on a spare phone as I type this. I might end up double dipping on PC or console down the line.

There is no OT for this game? I couldn't find it.
Anyway, I just got the full season pass on PSN for $11,99. Pretty great deal IMO. I'm a huge fan of Telltale and Minecraft was the only one I was missing out. I just finished Episode 1 and I loved it. It has that Borderlands comic vibe that was so great on Tales. I personally never played the original Minecraft and I don't plan too but the story Telltale created is really compeling. Can't wait to play the rest.
