It's a comic book series that I've never heard of. Will skip.

MAF likes Fables. And he said he was going to send me his extra TPBs of it, but then he didn't.

Something weird about the game is how when your choices add up it makes characters seem bipolar.

Kenny's all "Lee, you're my dude, bro." And a moment later he tells you "YA SELFISH PRICK, FUCK YOU. WHAT DID YOU EVER DO FOR MY FAMILY?!" You mean all those times I helped them? gave your dimwit kid some crackers and stuff? and half a dozen times throughout these four episodes you left me to die!

I kept thinking "I bet one of the last choices will be choosing your own fate after you're bitten." Glad it's happening. I hope they don't wuss out and exclude options like having Clementine do it.

Episode 5 Trailer

I'm kinda wondering how my game's gonna turn out, since I decided not to take anyone with me. It looks kinda badass in that trailer, with everyone together making a final stand.

Final episode was nice.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

There's less happening than in past episodes but as a whole it's a great conclusion. BTTF was the only other Telltale game I finished and it had a similarly brief final episode.

Some really nice moments in it. Thought it was awesome when I chose the "FUCK IT, LET'S DO THIS" option and cut up zombies in front of the hotel. Entire ending stretch was nice and sad. Post-credit sequence is such a tease.

As hokey as it could've been, I wanted an internalized vision of the zombification process. Like Lee losing his mind and stuff. Maybe that happens if you make different choices. I can't remember if Walking Dead fiction went into the brain activity of the zombies.

I'm eager to see what Season 2 is about. As far as I know, the only characters who are still alive are: Vernon, Lilly, Omid and Christa, and I think that's it (excluding comic characters from episode 1). Unfortunately the way these are setup, if someone can die, it means they won't be important in the future. It's like Final Destination.

Overall, I really liked it. All it took for Telltale to make a good video game was not to make it a game.

I had to bite at that price. Will play this after I finish Ass Creed 3

Yeah I just finished it. Short episode but not unfulfilling as it caps the story for season 1 well and has a nice ending. The whole experience is highly recommended. Even if they fumble season 2, season 1 was great and certainly one of the most entertaining experiences of the year.

I think Kenny is going to turn out to be still alive, you never saw him die in the alley.

Lee was badass in that part, just walked it off like a boss.

I got hit with the save game bug. I loaded it up and none of my saves were showing. Tried a ton of fixes but nothing is really working. I'm really disappointed. I don't want to replay the entire game again...

So basically either Telltale needs to fix the save bug issue (something thats been reported across platforms) or I'll just not play the final episode and they'll hace lost a customer for good.

archnemesis · « **Reply #133 on:** November 23, 2012, 01:19:47 PM »

They really need to improve their QA. At the moment they're even worse than Bethesda.

iconoclast · « **Reply #134 on:** November 25, 2012, 06:33:46 PM »

Just finished this. Was pretty entertaining. The best part of the whole series was in episode 4:

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Where you can let Ben fall to his death in the tower. Guy was a burden since day 1 - he got Carley killed, he got Katjaa & Duck killed, he left Clementine for dead, he didn't watch Clem when she went out into the yard, he took the hatchet out of the door that was clearly being used to lock it, and he couldn't even get the armory open. Felt good to get rid of him.

Wrong. Clementine is the best female character. (no fistful)

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #138 on:** November 27, 2012, 04:18:34 PM »

I sent a PM to Patrick Klepeck @ GB regarding the save game situation with TWD and how Telltale has really done nothing to try to fix it and he responded today and said he would see what he could get out of Telltale.

So, fingers crossed, maybe we can finally get some kind of information regarding it.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #139 on:** December 12, 2012, 12:31:21 AM »

Through many trials and tribulations. I've managed to finish 1-5.

I can't ignore the amount of technical garbage and poor customer service. As a product, TWD is kind of a mess.

However I also can't ignore how amazing it is as a piece of storytelling. It creates an amazing caste of characters and manages to make you feel like your choices matter. It really is one of the best games I've played this year.

So this is a tough one for me. Looking at just the product itself, it's an easy 5/5. But everything around it?

Now that it's in the past it's easier to forgive though.

Sho Nuff · « **Reply #140 on:** December 12, 2012, 01:22:53 AM »

Game was fuckin terrific. They done good

Shaka Khan · « **Reply #141 on:** December 12, 2012, 01:50:13 AM »

I really want to start this game, but the ghetto save bug is discouraging.

chronovore · « **Reply #142 on:** December 12, 2012, 03:09:52 AM »

What's the best platform for this, control-wise? PC, iPad, or Xbox?

archnemesis · « **Reply #143 on:** December 12, 2012, 12:36:59 PM »

You don't need good controls. I've been playing with mouse & keyboard on PC since all the QTEs are really basic.

I'd go for the platform with the best graphics.

Which do you prefer to watch movies on? TWD isn't a game.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #145 on:** July 03, 2013, 08:38:16 AM »

400 days is out this week.

I have to wait till for Friday for XBLA version though.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #146 on:** July 05, 2013, 01:50:18 PM »

Finished it. It's "okay". Basically a setup episode to introduce characters for season 2 where you play these short little episodic stories with different people. Very short. Around an hour and a half.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #147 on:** July 07, 2013, 06:34:18 PM »

Pretty cool little piece of content. It's a great idea to setup these characters so we already have some kind of feelings towards them going into season 2.
