I'm in love with the Walking Dead video game

edited November 2012 in The Walking Dead
I must say that I am a ps3 trophy hunter ever since 2009. I bout my ps3 in 2008 with Little Big Planet that same day. (First game to have trophies manually installed instead of having to do an update.) I never really cared for the trophies back then and I played it only for fun and to see why there was so much talk about it. Then I found out about trophy competition and I got hooked, but it wasn't until 2010 where I took it serious.


2 years later, I am in shock. The Walking Dead is simply amazing. I loved the TelllTale games before, but the one thing I liked about them the most was the easy and fun-to-obtain trophies. When I got this season of the walking dead, it was only to get the platinum, which I just recently found out about. (Thought each episode had a 100% trophy amount like other telltale downloadable games.) Plus, I bought this only because I had earned $20 free dollars from the U.S. money event in October. After seeing how the trophies were just complete each chapter, I was excited even more. I thought this would be one of my easiest platinum trophy accomplishments, far easier than Terminator Salvation. However, this is not why the game is amazing. It's because I just can't stop thinking about how great it is.


This game is by far my most favorite game I have ever played. Having played since the NES ages, that says a lot. It is one of the only games I have played where I am NOT aiming for the platinum, but the fun and excitement, heck, it is one of the only games where I don't care about trophies at all. It is one of the very few games in my collection where I am playing a second or third playthrough and enjoying must as much or even more than my first. One of the fewer multiple playthrough games I'm enjoying that's not on a handheld, and the ONLY ps3 game I'm playing multiple playthroughs to have fun instead of to get trophies. (Infamous may be an exception but I played it four times and only enjoyed playing the good and evil sides once.)




Long story short, it just goes to show how one game can truly change you.

    I play the game because I'm a Walking Dead fan (obviously) and there aren't many games so story driven as this. I love a game with an actual story to it, makes playing worth while :)

    What I find most surprising is how the game actually trumps the tv show, and in some cases is a better vision than the comic books. insane.

    True. If you asked me a few months ago before this game came out if I liked the TV show or comics, I'd pick the comics. Now it's the game all the way :)

    Im assuming these "trophies" are the same thing as achievments.
    To play a game you dont like just for some fictional points is mother fucking retarded (excuse the harsh language) i play to enjoy, have fun, relax, then discard it away when something better comes along. unless the achievements are actually fun to get or unlock anything.

    But i agree with playing this game multiple times. it doesnt get old. im always asking myself, what if i did this or what if im actualy nice to this person etc. etc.
