Which version of The Walking Dead is your favourite?

[Mix-pack]

Just saying this is like a forum for the the walking dead game so it's not really surprising if it's in the lead, though it's great but I love the tv show more.

Why you all hate it? I thought there isn't a gameplay trailer until yet and the description sounds like a Deus Ex in the Walking Dead universe which would be quite cool..

I think the reason most people hate Activision´s game is because it´s the exact opposite of what The Walking Dead is.

The Walking Dead in all its incarnations is a human drama first, a zombie apocalypse second, which is why it deals mostly with survivors interacting with each other with only the occasional zombie or two. That´s why in Telltale´s game you spend most of the gameplay talking to people while the fight scenes are pre-made cinematics. On the other hand, Activision´s game will be mostly about fighting zombies and managing supplies, only interacting with the survivors every now and then, which is less like The Walking Dead and more like DayZ if it had a campaign.

I know it´s probably more realistic if everyone is an unrelenting dick, but dicks generally aren´t that enjoyable to hang out with, and in a story that revolves around their lives, that could be a death sentence. The Walking Dead´s only goal is to explore the lives of its characters, there aren´t any other mysteries like how the plague came to be, but since everyone is an asshole 100% of the time I find it hard to relate or care about what happens to them. When someone dies I tend to say "yep, he´s dead" and immediately stop caring.

I really want to care and connect with these characters, but the comic just won´t let me.

It's hard to pick one because the tv series, the comics, and Telltale game is my favorite.

I like the comic universe. So the game and the comic book. I think the tv show is written terrible and i don´t expect much of their game.

I loved the TV show so I went with that and the TTG Version of the game second. Not a fan of comics so I not including that in my list.

Series. Andrew really portrays the emotion in the story.

My thoughts exactly.

I started this journey with the tv show and that will always be my first love. Plus, its been on fire lately.

The game comes first because nothing beats being a part of the story instead of just reading/watching it.

Game > TV Show.

I haven't read the novels or the comics.

How can you say reading the comics doesn't beat the game when you haven't read the comics? Logical failure. Shutting down.

[Joker93]

I haven't read any of the comics or novels. Haven't played Activisions game, just TT's and I watch the tv series.

He's talking about the difference between interactive and non-interactive fiction. He could say the same thing about any fictional media, whether he's seen it or not. I tend to agree with his position, as a rule I find interactive fiction far more interesting than non-interactive fiction. I get drawn into it more when I feel that I'm the one driving the story forward.

I think the game is in the lead because people who have only watched the show and played the game are preferring the game not realizing that the game is good because it tries to capture the essence of the comics and succeeds for most part. But for me though, I have to say the comic is still the best medium. It is the set standard after all. Without the success of the comics there would be no show or video game. The game is good but is only 5 episodes long the comics have been consistently good for 103 episodes. Even if you were to just look at the first 5 hardcover walking dead collectors books everything that was liked about games 5 episodes would have been amplified in the books, bearing in mind that each game episode can probably be finished in the time it would take to sit and read one of the hardcover books at a relaxed pace.

I tried to read some of the comics.....not that into it honestly. Sort of like Manga. T.V. show this season is a big improvement over season 2. Game is a blast and its a change to interact some. I am interested to see the new game, i am not a big activision fan...but willing to look at it. Can't be worse than that facebook game.
