The Walking Dead: The Game

...

 

I played the first two episodes at a friends house, and I gotta say it was really rather fun, the amount of things that are taken note of during your play, and how much of it will come back to haunt you potentially, it's quite gripping, plus it makes for a whole lot of replayability.

Never watched the show or read the comics personally, but the game is still fun regardless.

 

this is just a point and click game right? is it worth a buy? like...what's so great about it? (jw, interested in it)

 

Just finished Episode 1 and I've got to say it was excellent. A game with such limited mobility and user input shouldn't be this much fun but it is!

Buying the season pass is definitely on my agenda now.

 

I've only finally played Episode 3 now.

Nothing could prepare you for that type of world. Unforgiving. IN the end, the survival of the fittest is truly not the one with the biggest muscles or the best plan, it's the ability to diplomaticly deal with those around you

I didn't feel for once that my choices were good ones, but I had to live with them.
The episode was, aptly, train wreck for the player. I mean, seriously, each moment was just one bad thing to the next bad thing, with nothing to do but use your own personality and thoughts on how to deal with it.

I dodn't know how they'll top this.... actually I can only guess:

Spoiler

Clem dies, seriously if that happens I will.... I will not forgive what this game has done to me.

 

That episode hurt so muuuch.... It was emotionally straining. All the episodes have been, but they just dished it out in Ep. 3.

I feel like it's rather difficult to just make any sort of remotely good decision. Just because it feels right in the moment, people can act unpredictably sometimes, especially when decisions are so split second. The overall outcome isn't always at the fault of the player's decision, but of the reactions on the other characters,

Living with those decisions is a difficult thing to do, and this is just a video game. I think this game reveals so much about the difficulties of actually trying to survive an apocalypse, zombie or otherwise.

 

Ah, but that's where the game reflects life and the reality of the situation. It may ultimately be that other's decisions are purely their's alone, but as a person, especially an empathetic one, you will question and put yourself as the one to blame for such actions. I felt like these people's lives were in my hands and all I could do was just try to give them the best of both worlds when possible, siding with different people at different times, picking who I trust to tell things, deciding whether i'll do them or not. That is why this game is incredible in terms of immersion.

We all kind of think, to some degree, that we can take on an apocalypse alright. But the reality is we wouldn't we might even be wiped out by it. In the end, it is us that decides what makes our species live or not.

Thanks for the heads up. I had no idea it was out. I'll probably play it tomorrow, since I have no responsibilities that day. I'm just really nervous for what lies ahead.

 

No spoilers please. :c I won't be able to play it until almost Christmas time.

But from the general vibe I'm getting... I suppose my predictions might be right. ;-;

 

I just finished episode 5. It was powerful and haunting.

 

Got it free a couple of days ago. It's good but not my cup of tea.

 

THAT PLOT THOSE DECISIONS THEM FEELS

It's really not all that much about the game play, but rather the plot and your decisions. Well, I guess that is the gameplay. But it's powerful and well done.

Why don't you like it?
