The Walking Dead: The Game

@Mukora: Sorry, completely forgot about the misogynistic aspects of the Legion. But you know, apart from that.

Carver seems like a self-styled messiah essentially leading a cult, not to mention a whiny little shit under a cool exterior. Maybe they're what the apocalypse needs, maybe not, but few who side with them are good, or not under duress.

At least, this was my interpretation of the Legion.

What's Woodbury?

I remember Crawford in certain aspects.

Woodbury is the town that is led by the second major antagonist in the comic and TV show. It's run by a man called the Governor, and it's completely fucked up.

Oh, something I forgot to mention.

It wasn't until Carver showed up at the end that I remembered the second half of the saying that provides the title, and that's the point where I lost any hope of it turning out well.

A House Divided against itself cannot stand.

Is this recommended if you've never played an adventure game before?

@Cassidy:

It's recommended if you've played nothing before.

Anyone can play it, really.

You may have trouble with somethings in the first episode of season 1, but overall, you should be fine.

There's no real adventure game-style bullshit like "Connect the fish to the ceiling fan to open the alligator's mouth." It's mostly cutscenes and dialogue choices.

//"Connect the fish to the ceiling fan to open the alligator's mouth."

Now I want to make an adventure game just so that I can actually use that as a command.

I would highly recommend playing the first season before season 2 since Season 2 makes so many allusions and references to the first.

"Allusions" and "references" kinda undersells it, considering it's a direct sequel and all.

It's more like what you do in Season 1 directly affects some of the stuff that happens in Season 2.

I actually haven't seen too much that 'directly' changes something in Season 2 besides maybe a line of dialogue or two. So far, Season 2 has mostly contained itself to its own thing. At the moment, Kenny and Clem are the only characters from Season 1 who have remained part of the group of survivors.

The game has only been out for a week and a half. That's still a spoiler, dude.

The point is more that if you're going to be playing it anyway, you should be playing Season 1 first, since you're otherwise going to get randomized results for choices from Season 1 in Season 2.

On top of that, 400 Days looks like it's about to get more important in Episode 3.

Forgot to post: the second episode is now available in Sweden. Will be playing it tomorrow.

I mean, even if the choices didn't matter, it's like watching Season 2 of Breaking Bad (or the actual Walking Dead show, or any show with a linear plot-thread) without watching season 1 first. It's dumb, and you won't have enough context.

Brilliant.

Something that's been bothering me for a while: in Season 1, Episode 3, the Walkers some how managed to bring down a military helicopter. How the hell does that work?

Have you seen World War Z? Like that.

Seriously though I think it just crashed...for some reason. Maybe the pilot got bit while he was grounded?

Or, it tried to return to the base to refuel, saw it was overrun by zombies, tried to fly to the next closest base, and ran out of fuel on the way there.

Nick Herman, cinematic artist at Telltale, just tweeted that someone figured out how to play animations in the games.

The results are amazing.◊

*snrk*

I guess that's where all those "Bigby on a stripper pole" Gifs came from too, then?

Haven't seen them.

IGN Interview with Molly, Snow, and Bonnie's voice actor, Erin Yvette.

(I now want to see her in GOT as Ygritte since their names are similar.)

If Playing Dead is up, that means we're very close to Episode 3.

The Vita episodes are coming out so I'll be joining you guys shortly.

Oh god, soon I might be making uninformed decisions. AAAAAH!
