Hopefully with the R18 rating coming into play soon this will finally hit the shelves in Australia and New Zealand (I think some places in Europe too).
I was a dumbass ordering it on Ebay FORGETTING about the region code, PAL is Australian/Europe only and NTSC is U.S only :/ |

I completed the first 4 episodes, got anew Xbox, transferred my data over. Went to play episode 5 and it started from the beginning. Not very happy. The game is great but I wanted to finish the story with the choices I've made.
Ah well. Worth another play so can't really complain, awesome game |

| I'm so happy to read this; The Walking Dead is hands-down the most surprisingly good game I've ever played and it may well be my favourite game of all time. I could even argue it's the greatest game I've ever played... That sounds hyperbolic, but that's how I feel. It's a goddamn masterpiece. How Telltale could top this is beyond me. |

Awesome, great game. Got it during the 'countdown to 2013' sale and so glad I did. :D
But I was wondering, did they count the number of people who bought ALL episodes or just one (or maybe just episode 1). Since ep 1 was free during the aforementioned sale... ^_^'
However, I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't get the other episodes after the playing the fantastic first one, apart from financial issues of course. Also, I doubt it matters that much, since it was only on 360 (I think) and looooads of people already bought them before that. So it's still a lot of sales, well done TellTale and bring on season 2! :-))) |

| I liked it. I just wish we could get a happy medium between overtly comic book visuals of TWD and the dead-eyed realism of Heavy Rain in this genre. TT has the cartoon stuff down, but I would like the formula applied to more serious stuff. In fact, I'd love it if it became a thing where all major tv shows got spin-offs like this. Firefly could return with minimal effort from the old cast! A House or Bones procedural spin-off with, say, Chase or Hodgins as the leads! This is the "original programming" direction I think MS should be investing in (as well as game shows and edutainment) instead of just financing traditional tv shows (if the rumors are true) for the future of Live/Xbox Video. Play to the strengths of interactive entertainment instead of trying to become a dinosaur media company. |

I have read this news elsewhere and it seems that the number refers to individual episodes. I would be very surprised if most people didn't buy them all, but maybe a few tried the 1st and didn't like it.
I loved it, but haven't finished it yet because of the amount of other stuff to play! |

@#2 - Having read the comic to the current issue and having seen most of the TV program, I was astonished that the writing in this game was better than both of them.
@#27 - The choices weren't there for the game to have branching story arcs or wildly different endings.
They are there because you are choosing what kind of person you want Lee to be(come) and how you want other characters, especially Clementine, to react to him.
I mean, seriously, just how different could the endings be anyway?
@#35 - I think Left 4 Dead would like a word with you. ;) |

@35, zombie's have been a popular thing for allot longer the the CoD inclusions. They're a simple, weak enemy, in some ways, but horrifying in many other ways, 1 is only a danger if you're unarmed, inn numberes they incredibly dangerous. There's no complex ways to kill, no over the top ledgends, just destroy the head.
The zombie is my favourite horror creature because of all of this, and more reasons. The only reason you don't find it scary, is because you've played CoD's over glorified action mini game, not a horror game, like they're intended to be in. This game gets the terror element very well, with allot of the 1 on 1 encounters to just how dangerous one can be.
Never mind the modern reinvention of the zombie that 28 days later gave us.
It's about time zombies get their praise, the walking dead is the hall mark of the praise, both in series, comic and even game, left 4 dead is the over the top action of running for you're life. Dead rising covering the fun beat em about side, resident evil... well... capcom tries, but they're lost what made the games good. They lost themself's.
I've loved zombies personly since Resi Evil3, the first game I ever completed :3 Provided something is good, I welcome zombies.
And for you're information, we still have about 60/70 issues to cover from the comics yet with the series, zombies aren't going anywhere fast. XD |

@17 you are aware that people play games on different tags or even at other peoples houses?
4 of my friends and me all had different choices but same ending. What is there to carry over to the next game? you play as Clem and long hair or short carries over? |

Forum Posts: 773 | Comment #52 by Jack Frost Monday, January 07, 2013 @ 12:54:25 PM | |
@#48 - Seriously?
Did you not get the choice to save either Carly or Doug? Or whether or not to shoot the woman or let her live to have more time to check for supplies? Or how about the one where you can decide whether or not to save Ben? Or dealing with Lee's arm?
I'm sure there are probably others, but those stood out as significant changes to me.
But again, I think the problem might come with people's expectation that the message about their choices affecting the story means those choices will affect the story drastically. Which, of course, isn't really the case.
But there are changes and they are more subtle. It usually boils down to how the other characters react to you.
Apparently there are 8 different configurations of your group that you can have at the end of Chapter 4 depending on your dialogue choices. Naturally, the group is simply made up of different combinations of the characters you've still got left, but it's still different. Not to mention pretty impressive from a developing perspective.
@#51 - Perhaps there are some characters/things you've overlooked that could return down the road that remember/are connected to what happened in Season 1? |

@32 What does skill have to do with making it GOTY?? last i checked it was GOTY because it was a great game, not because of the difficulty, i'm tired of your CoD kids who think difficulty matters when your playing a game that literally a six year old can be good at.
@16 Yes because CoD should win GOTY all the time because it's SUCH an amazing game... *facedesk* |

@54
None of those people even mentioned CoD...
Y'know, it's not good when the only way to get your point across is to pass a slur about a totally unrelated series, based on a personal stereotype that anyone who disagree's with you MUST play that series.
OT: Excellent to hear! Though like 48, I wish there had been more meaningful changes, thought the subtle changes were still brilliant. Small things like Clem swearing in episode 2 if you chose to do it in #1 :) |

I don't care that its "GOTY" 2012, I don't care that people consider it one of the best story lines in gaming history, I don't care about people bitching about its gameplay.
The one thing I really care about is the genre. Telltale's The Walking Dead isn't a FPS. It's basically a point and click down in its core. The attention that TWD has recieved so far is phenomenal, considering point and click is a dying genre in a market cluttered with FPS games. I hope this means that developers realize games don't have to be a FPS to be good. |

Forum Posts: 977 | Comment #57 by Delow317 Monday, January 07, 2013 @ 04:31:08 PM | |
I'll admit it was a great game, but the game is filled with stat/game resetting bugs. I havn't played a point and click adventure in over 20 years and The Walking Dead was a pleasant change of pace.
When I consider how many times I had to start chapters over due to how buggy this game is, TT better implement some better quality control this time around with Season 2.
Also I was thinking about replaying this as an evil SOB bad Lee. For those of you that played like this, I have a question for you: Do things really change that much when you're a prick to everyone? Personally I wanted to kill Kenny but played nice with him throughout the whole game only to see him die in that alley. |
