The Walking Dead Video Game

Huge fucking spoilers:

Nod to the TV series before you reach the hotel.

Which one.

I *hope* it's Michonne and a pet walker

This is about 3-4 month into the Comic time. She should already be with Rick. Also the comic has a backstory on the Pets - they are not random.

Nothing I try gets episode 2 working :/

Is this a common issue with these games?

[Herr Matzat]

Yes. On all platforms oddly enough. I only had it happen once and was able to fix it within an houre after some googeling and trial and error.

[Ruki]

Took me most of the day, but I got Episode 2 working!

Holy crap, that was even more intense than the first. I kinda figured something was gonna be up with the farmers...so I wasn't surprised.

But killing Larry? That was harder than I thought. And taking food from a car? That seemed like a no brainer, but people made me stop and think.

I want to survive, but I also don't wanna taint Clem (which is kinda hard now, since she saw me shiv a guy with a pitchfork)

Love this game.,

Well AFTER the hotel too, but I was specifically talking about Lee going kill crazy with the meat cleaver and blood splattering all over him, much like Rick did recently.

Also, I must be the only one that never had an issue at all with the savefiles.

I doubt that was related at all.

Picked this up on Steam when it was 50% off on Wednesday after hearing all the good reviews and peoples opinions on it. Just a quick question: Does it matter much if I haven't watched Walking Dead before in terms of story?

Because I've been meaning to watch Walking Dead for a while now and didn't know whether I'd have to watch the show and then play the game or if its not that important.

[Gazz]

No, they take place in the same universe and there is a couple of crossover characters, but they're completely different stories.

[Herr Matzat]

The game is based on the Comic license. The TV Show will have it´s own licensed game (a FPS with Zombies, yes, creative people at work) What happens on the TV Show is not related beyond the fact that the TV show owns the comic license and is based on it´s story.

I terms of the comic Gazzuchika Okada is right though, the game largely stands on it´s own just using the rules and some ways of storytelling that were set up in the comic universe instead of just retelling it´s story. It´s a different group of people each with their own story. Except for two cameos, but since the cameos appear before the comics timeline even starts so there is nothing you could need to know about them anyway. It´s more a "hey, we are using the license, k thx bye"

Wow. Holy shite. What a game. Ended just the way it should.

Haven't finished episode 3 yet (have to step out of the house for a bit)...but holy crap. Things are getting kinda depressing :/

Although, really like Omid. He's got my kind of humor.

[RPS]

Yeah. Omid really shines through the game. He has a lot of great lines in upcoming episodes.

[Herr Matzat]

Was he even in Episode 3.

[Gazz]

Was he even in Episode 3.

Yeah, though only towards the end.

[Herr Matzat]

Oh, now i remember, i thought the train was a episode of it´s own. Silly me.

[Herr Matzat]

Don´t visit the tumbler if you have not finished the game. Spoiler Heavy.

Just finished episode 4...holy shit!

I figured Lee was going to die by the end of it, but I didn't expect him to get bitten right now! That was a bit of a shocker.

Although, my game it went "Next time on The Walking Dead" and didn't show a trailer. Weird.

[Ruki]

Just finished episode 5....that was depressing.

[Herr Matzat]

There is no next episode trailer at the end of episode 4. the text should not be there either.

I wonder how it compares plaing the game as quick as you did. I think a good amount of what made it great came with the time to let each episode sink in (maybe not as long as some of them actually took to get don, but maybe a week inbetween).
