Hey Sqweky, when I get my book published, would you like to review it? I'll give you a free copy. You Telltale guys can have a free copy too!

ScreamingFalcon · 05/27/2012, 09:42 pm

Hey, been a while since I've been on these forums, but here's the review i did for the PS3 version for Nerd4Sure.com!

Spoiler: I think its great!

I did my best to keep the game spoilers in the review to a minimum though. Tells me what you think! It was only my second review!

ADavidson · 05/27/2012, 09:56 pm

Well done! Not too spoilery lol

ScreamingFalcon · 05/27/2012, 10:03 pm

Thanks!

ADavidson · 05/27/2012, 10:11 pm

I'm trying to pwn the board list, where you at that you're still awake? 2am here

ADavidson · 05/27/2012, 10:57 pm

Wow wayy out there huh? North Carolina here. Since you're a fellow writer, care to preview Chapter 1 of my book? Hoping to get an agent soon. Hopefully will finish the novel in the next 6 months or so and get the publishing process going. PM me with your email if ya want

I've played through three times now, each taking a different character direction. First playthrough ~ Mr. Nice Guy. Second ~ Total selfish jerk. Third ~ Man of few words. I find the game to be the most rewarding when you're not being an ignorant asshole, which is to be expected. Have to say though, it was quite a challenge to ignore Shawn and Duck at the farm and just stand there like a heartless coward, while Shawn was begging me for help. Damn. ><

ADavidson · 05/28/2012, 11:27 am

Same thing I did... nice then douche then silentbob

Fathom · 05/30/2012, 04:53 am

I love that you can play it through again and choose different paths, but I decided that I wouldn't until I've done all the episodes through once because I want to know where my initial choices/instinct will take the story.
There's a nice review at SofaWarriors about Walking Dead http://games.sofawarriors.com/blogs/...u/walking-dead. Also doesn't appear to have much in the way of spoilers if you've not played it yet.

ADavidson · 05/31/2012, 11:04 am

Yeah that was my plan too... But I just numbered them in my head and will continue the trend in future episodes. Save 1 - nice guy, 2- douche, 3- silent

I couldn't wait over a month to play the next 2hrs lol so playing it 3 times I get 6 hrs which will laster me longer next episode too

I watched this today. At work. Bad move. Uncontrollable laughter w/ literally tears streaming down my face raised quite a few eyebrows among my coworkers. That guy is hilarious! I think it was just the perfect combo of his accent (sigh), comments, and wonderfully dry sense of humor. Seriously, I want to tie him up in my attic and bring him out when I need cheering up!

+1

I watch all his videos. The accent and monotonous dry tone are perfect.

I really liked that, must have seen it immediately after it was put online. Totalbiscuit is not only a good and fluid commentator, he also really puts the finger on what's good and what's not while he plays.

Not as good the first time round, and you can't change the main events but this is episode one, hopefully things will start rolling and we can start to see some real drastic choices!

Even if you cannot change main events, I still feel that the first episode had much replay value.
The dialogs can change quite a lot depending on your choice
And there is so much to see and hear, for example after climbing the fence, just wander around in the garden for a while...
Also, when Lee is attacked, why not just let him die and see the animations, most of them are well done: http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/...ad.php?t=29962

I took away the .75 because it was quite short, and at one part, a little tricky. I also had a glitch with the cursor on the PS3 twice.

You actually deducted points because the game was a little challenging?!

Zombieface · 06/14/2012, 02:59 pm

Loved the first episode but it was sooo short!!! Just a little teaser! lol, then a 2 month wait! I hope the next episode is a bit longer! Can't wait!

NessaT · 06/18/2012, 09:27 pm

I liked Episode 1 a lot too! I saw the playthroughs on YouTube, and decided to try them out myself.

I'm quite relieved that there isn't much hack and slash with the zombies if truth be told.I normally avoid zombie games like the plague (Resident Evil, Silent Hill) but this I can handle.
