Subject: Walking Dead Game is NOT a Game

So you went to the trouble of clicking on my profile, either to send a group invite or hate message, or to check my Halo stats and call me a BK. I like Peanut Butter Waffles.

It's just a long quicktime event. Last time I checked, people played video games for gameplay. Why should it win game of the year solely based on its story? It makes no sense to me. The game doesn't even have good graphics. Who would actually play that game more than once? Why would anyone even buy it in the 1st place? I could get its full value just by watching it on Youtube.

And yes, I have played it.

And the whole thing of taking a story about zombies of all things seriously is another story to tell.

Just my 2 cents.

The human element always mucks things up.

CUZ ITS SO SAD AND EMOTIONAL DOOD

The graphics are super. It's an art style.

Anyways, it's an RPG. It is most certainly a game, except you play it for the story rather than the 'super action packed adventures.' Just because you don't appreciate how great it was doesn't mean it makes sense to dismiss it as not part of the genre it is already obviously in.

I didn't even know there was a game for the Walking Dead until it won GoTY...

I do not want to stop asking. I do not ask to stop wanting.

A fantastic story can carry a bad game, in my opinion.

Though I wouldn't have given GOTY to TWD, I'm not complaining. Except for the fact that Journey deserved it 23492304932409 than any other candidate this year.

This all the way

The VGA's are bad. Halo: Reach should've gotten GOTD.

Look at all the -blam!-s I give.

I think it won GOTY because of the EXPERIENCE. Not necessarily action packed but fun to play and EXPERIENCE.

Dont you worry about _____ let me worry about ____

You have been sent a warning from x Foman123 x. This warning's text is below:
Incomprehensible gibberish.

It.s a game. But a crappy one due to its 2000 tier controls and it's overall lack of anything but a story.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.

I am the captain of my soul.

While I enjoyed the game thoroughly, and was pleasantly surprised that it bet out all the triple A titles - it did not deserve it. In my opinion at least.

I have two friends that just watched it on YouTube, and felt they got their full value. The only reason to buy it would be to make your own dialogue choices and such.

It isn't so much about the game itself, but rather the direction this game in particular took. It probably was a bit of an extreme, but a new and interesting direction nonetheless.

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

Agreed. It's just a long cutscene that costs money.

You aren't playing, you're watching.

I like the "interactive movie" type games like Heavy rain, walking dead and beyond two souls. It's fun to play something different for a change.

  • 12.11.2012 5:44 PM PDT

OP did you love Reach?

It was still fun.

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

Dragon's Lair was a game, Grim Fandango was one of the greatest games of all time. There are many different types of gameplay, and they can all be enjoyable. Time to get over it everyone.

Well then, you somehow found my signature, nice job, so time for your prize.............FLOODIANS! ATTACK! Also, those socks do NOT make you look handsome.
