The ending is always the same, but your choices change everything. In TWD it is not the end what matters at all, but what choices you make, and what you say. It is all about the journey. It is second in reactivity to Alpha Protocol, even if the end result won't change.

And it totally is a gamew, it is the most arcadey point and click adventure game out there. Shame the walking speed is sloooow.

Best adventure game after the Longest Journey, and that is some pretty high praise coming from me. Just do yourself a favor and play it through blind, this game really benefits from not knowing anything about it beforehand.

It's my GOTY for 2012. Though it's more of an interactive story than anything else. The traditional point and click adventures had puzzles you had to think and mix-and-match your way through, no such thing in TWD, you just walk through the story.

Just out of interest what made u stop watching it in Season 2?. I thought Season 1 was pretty good..Season 2 was too...can't explain it. Trying Season 3 now...
Oh yeah might look into getting the game ;)

I haven't played the game myself, but I picked up the complete series during a Steam sale recently, and I was just curious - could someone give me an estimate on how much time I will probably spend getting through all five of the episodes? I'd google, but I've got the impression that the game is very story-driven, and I don't want to accidentally read spoilers.

I also picked up the first two issues of the comic series. I'll start reading as soon as I'm done with my finals, and I'm pretty excited to see how it compares to the TV series.

Here you go.

... Wow. They have a site for that, too??

Well, it's bookmarked now! As a college student who works on the side, knowing how long it will take to finish a game has become a very important factor in choosing what to play next, so this site should be useful. Thanks!

The Walking Dead is amazing.

Telltale did a good job at making me care about the characters. I'm not ashamed to admit I cried more than once while playing it.

Brilliant game, only game I've ever shed a tear for. Well that and BG II

Umm... No. The outcome is always the same, and I don't mean ending. EVERYTHING. Your choices merely change the dialogues.

The story is as linear as ever, they didn't even make multiple endings, this is how cheap and lazy Telltale guys are.

You may build up your character, your trust, your friendships. It doesn't matter. Whoever has to die, dies anyway, whoever has to snap, he or she snaps in the exact same moment in exact same way, even if it seems riddiculous because of your choices.

My first huge disappointment was with the scene in 3rd episode. That near the RV with Lily.

Comparing this to the choices of Alpha Protocol is just wrong.

Another example - at the end of episode 4, I thought "wooow! that's something that is gonna have impact on entire game!". Nope, it doesn't. In the first 5 minutes of episode 5 everything is back to normal.

I've heard nothing but good about The Walking Dead game.

Season 1 was great but the second was a mess. I barely got through it. Seaspn 3 beats them all. It's just fantastic.

I absolutely hated season 2. Season 3 is a lot better - I wouldn't go so far as stating that it's great but it is definitely a vast improvement over season 2.

I could agree, even despite totally ridiculous action scenes.

i just started playing episode 1 and i love it so far. Awesome graphic novel feel.
