You should have been hipster like me and got it before it was cool. But no, yeah you should get it. Don't let the graphics skew your opinion on it, the game is terrific for a reason.

What house has a rocket pod, has legs, and has a long narrow barrel that probably shoots something powerful?

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.

If you like point and clicks and QTEs then go ahead.

If you prefer story over gameplay. Like, big time.

I'll consider it I guess.

I don't see what's so great about that game

No point in putting something funny, clever or informative here. Most probably im going to get perma-banned anyway.

Definitely does not deserve GOTY at all. Seriously now. But Story is good I hear. Which is the only thing that carries it and you said you already saw gameplay. If you like the Walking Dead, go for it. If not, skip it.

GET IT!

Do get it, but be prepared to be disappointed by episode 4 and 5. That just killed it for me probably won't get season 2.

  • 12.10.2012 9:41 PM PDT

It's a good game, so yes I would get it.

Call me Rdog, not RdOG or RdOG1507. I made that username when I thought it was cool to use alternating capital and lowercase letters...

How much do they cost per episode? And how many episodes are there?

400 per episode and there's 5 episodes so 2000 msp

Not really considering you can watch someone play it on youtube and get the same experience for the most part. Though the story is good it didn't really deserve GoTY since it lacked gameplay for the most part. If anything the only good thing that can come out of it is games with lower budgets getting more attention than just major titles.

That's -blam!- nonsense. I'm skeptical that you even played the game if you think it "lacked any gameplay for the most part".

It had very little actual gameplay. Sure there was the look around and find the occasional item, talk to some people, smash some buttons, and the very rare shoot/kill a zombie. Other than that it has very little actual gameplay and even then none of that is challenging enough for me to really consider it gameplay.

I don't think you've played this game. If you'd played this game you'd understand it requires constant engagement from the player (you know, gameplay) or else you're gonna end up dead often.

And then if you wanna follow this route that "The Walking Dead has very little actual gameplay" then are you going to claim the entire Adventure game genre is best watched online and lacks real gameplay?

If I ever get AIDS, I'm going to sleep with another AIDS person so my AIDS cancel each other out, or I'm going to make the AIDS I already have worse.

The ending made PewDiePie cry, like full on tears.

As far as I know, the only difference between other Point and Click adventure games and The Walking Dead are the lack of puzzles. Games like, Secret of Monkey Island, Grim Fandango, Leisure Suit Larry all have puzzles.
I can't really say, though. I haven't played many.

  • 12.10.2012 10:48 PM PDT

I never cry but the ending made me cry.
It's the best game I ever pirated.

How so I described for the most part everything you do in the game? Sure it requires moving your character around and the occasional shooting/button mashing, but unless you are a 5 year old that stuff is far from challenging or engaging for a veteran player. If you want constant engagement or else you are dead there are other games out there that punish you for not paying attention or not knowing what to do. It isn't a challenging game nor should it be for the game it is suppose to be and the story it is telling. You really never die other than the occasional screw up in which case there is no negative consequence on the player since you never really fight anybody or manage your resources since everything you pick up automatically fits in Lee's pants no matter how big or small it is. Sad part is I have played VN's with more gameplay than that game.
