The Walking Dead is revolutionary.
The characters.
The storyline.
The voice acting & the writing are amazing.
Not just by video game standards but for any entertainment medium and if there was any justice in this world the Oscars and Grammy's would introduce separate categories for Video Games so that people would start recognizing them as legitimate art form. Sure, there are minor technical hiccups, here and there, and other elements of the game that could have been expanded upon but nothing that takes away from how powerful and indelible this entire season has been in terms of storytelling.
People will look back at this game, many years from now and remember it as the Video Game that set the benchmark for writing in the video game industry. That players are so invested in not only specific characters but even moved to tears by this product is a testament to all the talent involved. Don't get me wrong, there have been other video games with superb writing, but that was on the basis that most video games have horrible writers and voice actors -- The bar has been raised and the writers, director(s) and producers deserve endless praise for creating a game that will undoubtedly be remembered for many years to come.
It's the first video game experience that I could not shake days after playing.
Discuss.
