    What kind of question is that, of course it is. What because your fav character died your annoyed look in a ZA things it'll happen and if your annoyed because of the choices then yeah I feel your pain but just wait until ep.4 okay there is going to be something happening trust me, all choices will be needed and you better have made some good ones

    3rd option please: this game does not stand for what it claims, but I'll buy next ep anyway.

    I voted yes, I've just seen a lot of people raging lately and wanted to get a total poll of everyone in the forums.

    Hell yeah it is.

    I don't get what some people are crying about.

    I can understand why some were upset about Carley (heck, I was, for a short while) but not enough to tell Telltale to piss off.. I mean it's not like the game was about her.... it's about freaking Zombies.

    I can understand why some would be upset about bugs, bugs aren't expected in finished products, though they always seem to seep in... but those can be fixed.

    I find it perplexing.

    It's good to see a majority of people still love the game

    Considering the numbers, the people who are complaining are a very small minority. As for those who are upset about the story, they seem to be missing the point.

    People have died.

    Am I put off by death in a zombie game? Fuck no.

    of course it is.

    Dummest. Question. Ever.

    Ofc, it's still worth playing!!!
  • edited September 2012
    Yes!
  • edited September 2012
    voted yes here.


    it's definitely not the "your choice matters/impacts the path the story takes" type of game that it claimed to be, but it's an entertaining story nonetheless.

    Those are horrible choices.

    Yes

    With all of the uproar over certain deaths, I assumed that the results wouldn't look like they do. That's pretty awesome!

    I'm pretty excited about the upcoming episodes.

    This poll simply confirms the obvious:
    PEOPLE LIKE TO PISS AND MOAN
    So many threads screaming bloody murder but secretly we're all waiting for Ep4 :)

    It wears off after time; I admit that I had to curl up in a ball from the depression and I really despised TTG for it. However, once that wore off, I realized the world is not over. As they say; "time heals all wounds".

    Huh? Of course I'm playing the last two episodes of season 1. I got the season pass anyways :rolleyes:. In all honesty, I want to know if Lee and Clem will survive for another season.
  • edited September 2012
    I definately want to see what happens next, after I came out of my few hour depression after the deaths in Episode 3. C'mon Clem and Lee, I know you guys can make it!
  • edited September 2012
    Of course it's still worth playing. Telltale is probably pleased at the emotional rage of what happened after episode 3 as it means they are doing their job. Didn't like the fact that they killed almost the entire original cast off in one episode. (I just think that focusing on one or two that have a large impact because of their death is much more better than a pile of bodies) but I'm sure as hell interested in what's going to happen.

    while i have lost the fun characters, i dont expect everyone to last forever, especially in the walking dead. I expect alot more death in the next coming episodes and i have already bought 3 episodes, might as well buy 2 more and at least see how this ends :D
  • edited September 2012
    I wanna be there when episode 5 unfolds... and I will be! :)

    yes, for sure, i think TWD game has one of the best stories of any game i have played, personally i would rate the experience of playing the game higher than reading the comic (first hardback at least) and equally as good (but for different reasons) as the TV show, i may have some complaints about the game and i have said my bit (along with loads of other people) so i don't want to dwell on the bad when there i so much good, and i know the worst part about TWD game is that it will eventually end and i wont have any new TWD game to play (first world problem)

    lol you need a poll to decide if you gonna keep playing?
  • edited September 2012
    It is very good as an Story driven/pointclick game and i will keep buying/playing all the eps, yes the next season too if there is one.

    But yea like stated in alot of posts im kinda dissapointed that alot of the game's important parts are linear and my choices won't change nothing but what my character says/thinks about that, you know instead of actually doing something.

    I find the question very valid. But if you're turned off by sudden, shocking, random and violent deaths of the most beloved characters - as you could very well be - then, please:

    Don't watch zombie movies.
    Don't read The Walking Dead comics.
    Don't watch the TV show.
    Don't play the game.

    ^This

    Edit: Its not the deaths but the fact choices don't matter. The deaths of characters didn't help as most of the choices which weren't moral were directed towards these characters so it feels like season 2 begun already tbh as only Kenny and Clem were there from the start.

    It was a great story and emotional experience but im already preparing my eulogies for omar and his girl

    I'll be okay so long as Clem stays alive. >_> She's practically the driving force for me in the game. If she dies I'll be putting the controller down and won't be picking it back up again. ::Lee commits suicide!:: >.<

    But everyone else? I might get heartbroken and miserable, but I'll be able to keep going. I want to know what happens next. :x

    The game reminds me of Heavy Rain, which I loved. I hope that we end up with similar crossing circumstances that affect what happens later on. Maybe that will come in later? I don't know. o.o' TTG does need to pick their battles, though. Not everything can be a so-called 'real choice' or you end up with more branches than anyone has time for. They'd need nearly twice the bodies and much more time, new episodes would never come out.
    More likely your choices will be more tuned to the surviving characters and how they deal with it as we get closer to the end. Like Clem. She's with you nearly 100% of the time in the game. What if something you do frightens her? What if she doesn't trust you because you beat one of the cannibal's face in and stabbed the other with a pitchfork? What if you lose her in the end because of something like that? What if you lied to her and the man talking to her on the walkie-talkie gives her a convincing argument to push you away?
    That said, enjoy it for what it is. We still have quite a lot of ground to cover. :)

    Of course. I'm sad Carley's gone and I am not a fan of Omid and Christa, but I am willing to keep going. I've been invested so far and had so many memorable moments so far. Why quit now?

    The experience is tailored to your play, not "You can change anything in this game."

    The experience is tailored most everything you say gets brought up again.
