Subject: Walking dead getting GOTY is bad for other developers

Out of all the games I have played EVER, TWD has left the biggest impact on me. Thats what makes a good game

It's an Adventure game. I don't think every developer is going to start making games for that genre.

I don't like it. Yeah the game is good, but lets be honest, it's not really a proper game. Other developers who spend most of their time on gameplay mechanics, and other things deserved it. A game like Far Cry 3 deserves it more than TWD, which is basically interactive episodes.

I like to play Reach for fun. I hate MLG, campers, armor lock, and team killers because they ruin that fun. Deal with it.

I hadn't even heard of Walking Dead before the VGAs. From what I've heard it can hardly be called a game at all. What's the gameplay like?

You've probably heard that from people who either haven't played the game or were butthurt that their favorite fps didn't win.

A game that we actually PLAY more than watch.

It's basically like episodes from the Walking Dead TV series, but it's interactive. It went to the extreme of one factor of video games, the story. Other games are more balanced in factors like story, game play and mechanics, which is a basic point and click, or press a button in Walking Dead. I feel it should have been judged on these elements to, not just because it had a good story.

Is there more time spent sitting with your hands off the controller than interacting with the game? What's the time on that? Habe you timed it? And is it just 51%? 75%? What is it?

There is no such a thing as a "proper" video game. There is no law in stone that says this is how a video game must be. Any -blam!- trying to define it is doing it for the sole purpose of aimlessly bashing a certain game.

People prefer the experience more. TWD was unique because of the emotion and the actual feeling that the choices you made had an impact on later events. Far Cry 3 was just lolololol lets blow -blam!- up and kill people mindlessly

I bet you haven't even played it, have you?

The story is good, the gameplay is very fun, you are given multiple ways of taking on challenges. The island is extensive, and the replayablility of the game is huge. But The Walking Dead is just like a episode from the TV series, it is not unique story wise.

No I heard it from someone who's a huge WD fan--of the TV show. Said he couldn't stand the game, since it's basically a complex one of these.

I have both, I haven't played FC3 for a while because I was getting bored by the story, but the gameplay was fun. I enjoyed TWD more because it always had me on my toes and anxious to see what was behind the next corner.

So like a TV show.

I don't think anyone's denying that the WD had a good story. By all means, I'm sure it's fantastic. But it can hardly be considered a game, rather more of an interactive movie, or TV show.

Clearly it doesn't meet the Game Criteria Act of 1987.

Saying that the walking dead is not a game is like saying a choose your own adventure book isn't a book.

It's more like saying a choose your own adventure book is not like a board game.

This will just make other developers think that al you gotta do to get GOTY is make a lot of cutscenes with button pressing sequences.
Devs don't design games around getting GOTY, they design them around profits. They're businesses.

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.

I hope they don't design their game around it. That game sucked.

It's the only reliable place for game reviews and negatives if you can read between the lines of the very present cynicism.
