Writing quality and general theme. Among those four titles, you've got zombie apocalypse, space western, Batman, and an urban fantasy retelling of fairy tales. Taking Borderlands for example, if nothing about the Borderlands franchise interests a player, it's unlikely the Telltale one will either. It's not impossible, but I wouldn't put money on the odds.

I came at it as a Borderlands virgin, but it struck me really as poorly written compared to the other titles, almost as much as their Monkey Island and Sam and Max titles (both franchises I love otherwise).
