We British like guns, too - we just have a licensing system...
You can have Rifes, Shotguns, and Rimfire Carbines in the UK*. You can conceal-carry Handguns in NI.
We just don't piss away bullets on Water Bottles and Beer Cans - We hunt instead...
I didn't say the British didn't like guns and we hunt too, buddy. We've got miles and miles of campsites dedicated to the activity. People who waste bullets on beer cans are what we call rednecks or hillbillies around here, and despite what you or may not believe, our country is not made up of those. Either way, I'd trust those guys more with guns than I would anyone in any urban or suburban areas here.
Maybe it would appeal to some - but America exports more media than it imports.
Which is something I'd like to see changed over here. We sure do bring in a lot of people from different races and cultures, so it seems logical we should be doing more imports than exports.
I'm not gonna piss away money on a Kiddie WiiU.
I've seen Shaun of the Dead - It was alright...
Your loss brah, it's actually one of my favorite zombie games since Resident Evil REmake, and well...The Walking Dead of course. No one said you had to buy one, just borrow it from a friend.
Your nation stereotypes us as Aristocrats and Thugs - both toothless...
Could you handle what we're really like?
Can't say I've ever thought of the British as Aristocrats or toothless, but then again I do watch a lot of BBC's shows, so my mind isn't settled on any specific stereotypes, unless you count some of the sexy actresses on Doctor Who, because if all of your women folk look like that, I'm booking a ticket ASAP... Heck, those redneck hillbillies I was talking about fit more of the image-in-my-head as someone being toothless.
I dunno, maybe I'm just a special case, but a lot of my friends aren't afraid of their "outside world," so I don't view America the same way as the outside world might view it looking in. I would love to visit another country, Japan being on the top of my list, followed by the UK, and then Australia, and eventually Canada, since I have a friend living up there.
To those saying almost all ZA movies are set in America, you are not looking hard enough. My father owns well over 300 Zombie movies. over 25% of them were set in other countries. Germany, Pakistan, Africa ,UK, Russia, Bolivia, Hong Kong, Japan, China, Australia, Canada. They are out there just gotta know where to look. I am not saying those movies were grade a quality but they were ok. But there is many a time I have had to read subtitles when watching a zombie movie. Anyway 28 days and weeks later is my absolute favorite franchise. I am anticipating 28 months later. (although they keep pushing that release back... /sigh) 28 Days was based in UK and was absolutely loved it. and the second one I believe it was in France. And why are we making this discussion go from what story we want to see in season 2 to America VS UK. Stop that. We are all great people, and we all have bad people. We are here to talk about Season 2 of The Walking Dead The Game. As for season 2 I do hope to see and interact with people from season one if permitted but I will be ok with playing another story. After all from what I understand the game is based in the world of the walking dead and not focused on one single solitary groups in the way the tv series is. I cannot speak for the comics as I have not read them yet.
Why don't you? Take the plunge, man - I don't regret it...
I agree that this is turning into a UK vs. USA thread, which I don't want.
I don't even want a Walking Dead set in the UK - just any state other than Georgia as we've seen so much of it in the comics, the show and the game.
I'd also like to see new stories told in-universe other than Clementine's.
I'm surprised I seem to be mostly alone in this view...
This is the dumbest thing I've heard in a while. Clementine is what made The Walking Dead so awesome! She is The Walking Dead and probably my all time favorite video game character ever. No Clem = No TWD.

I understand your view however. Not everyone has the ability to read the comics and such so watching it play out like it is on tv is all they got.
My father cannot see the words on a comic book, so he hasn't be able to read the comics at all, save from the one that kirkman brought to life on amc site. So if they were to just switch somewhere else to a different city different group and story, my father will have missed out on the story that had already been told thus far in the comics. I really wish I could find an Audio version of the comics for him so he can follow along with the comic and get to actually experience his favorite tv show in the platform it was created in. He is nearing 85% blind so reading is out of the question for him. Luckily though the books are in Audio so he is getting to experience that.
As I said I do understand how someone who has read and seen everything already could be bored, but not everyone has had that luxury (for lack of better words, I mean no offense) As for the games, you never know where it might go. It is just set in the Walking Dead universe. Most everyone in the game itself is not even a WD creation but a TT creation so it is quite possible that it branches out to other states. who knows Take care:)
I'm sorry have you even watched TWD? Read the books? Comics? Because Clementine is TT not TWD. /smh
Yes, unfortunately I did watch the show and it's AWFUL! Seriously, this game is better than anything on that crappy show. The characters are way more likeable and the story actually makes sense. AMC should hire some of the TTG writers to help them out because that show is just embarrassing. Never read the comics and never will because I've heard it's basically the same crap.
So yeah, Clementine is TWD for me!
Maybe. There are probably more like you - I just haven't come across them in my travels....
I'm not saying that there aren't assholes in my country, because there are, and I guess it depends if you visit a more high traffic city, where they're going to be too busy not caring who anyone is, whether or not they're from another country. Since there are a lot of people, it becomes a habit to ignore people for some I guess...I don't know. I've always preferred the more isolated smaller communities and country type areas here myself.
Why don't you? Take the plunge, man - I don't regret it...
I want a decent knowledge of Japan's language and culture before visiting, since I want to actually communicate with the locals, especially if a dire need or situation comes up, plus I do believe it would enrich the experience I have there. The only other thing holding me back right now is money, but I am saving up just in case the opportunity presents itself.

It wasn't my intent to turn anything into a VS debate/argument, because I don't really view anyone or anything as superior, just different. As for TWD being mostly set in Georgia, I would actually love to see somewhere else and what they're up to...I guess they just wanted to connect it to the comics more by setting it there, and maybe they're just playing it safe...too safe.
Maybe that will change in the future. As for the comics, despite it running as long as it has, it's still only been about a few years in-comic, so it makes sense that they haven't visited too many places yet. Though I find the comics to be getting repetitive about now, and wish Kirkman would come up with something new not related to shock value, because even that gets predictable.

Whatever floats your boat but I am sorry the tv show is far from awful you just don't appreciate good tv, like most people nowadays. They would rather watch tv stars lives unfold on television than watch a great story unfold in a post apocalyptic world. Meh to each their own though, not everyone can appreciate it real television. But you cannot have only played one game not even about TWD characters never have read the comics or even watched the show and claim to be the know all be all of TWD. I may not own the comics but I do read them on youtube. Remember Opinion is never Fact. IMHO you have no idea what you are talking about but in your opinion it is the greatest thing on earth. IMHO The game ain't that great, as FF is probably the greatest video game franchise ever. But in your opinion I am wrong. See how this works?

You're just trying to pick a fight w/ me. You're right about one thing though, I don't care about your opinion. This game is far more superior than anything else TWD related and that's a fact. Anyone who thinks that AMC's TWD show is good TV is wrong in so many ways.
I apologize to the thread users for my previous post. I am not sure why I always feed them but sometimes I make /facepalm decisions. Wont happen again.
It's not the worst show out there, but it is not the best out there ether, the comics and great but lately they have been going in the unrealistic almost jumping the shark direction. I sorry but did someone really just say Final Fantasy is better then the Walking Dead, I have to be drunk because those words can not happen, and if so I do not want to live on this planet anymore.

Yes Yes I did. I will take Final Fantasy 3 , 7, and 8 over any game on the market any day. sorry. It is how I feel. TWD game is really good but I like my typical RPG turn based games. Tis my opinion and mine alone
Final Fantasy 6 and 7 were the best, I thought you meant crap like 13, I still do not believe those games are better then Walking Dead but I respect you more for saying the better games in the series.

LMAO Oh god no. I played them simply out of boredom. No I meant classic FF. Not that crap out now. Classic Resident evil was amazing too. See I hate FPS's and FP perspective there fore I rarely play anything other than turn based RPG, this game or WoW-SWToR. I am mostly an MMO fan. console just isn't my favorite platform.

The Old Resident Evils were good, now it's all action, you can't even tell the difference between Resident Evil and Call Of Duty.
Exactly why I stopped after RE 3. If I wanna play action zombies with a FP perspective I will borrow my brother in laws black ops game. I miss the old Resident Evils.... Hell I am having a hard time finding any games on the market today that I like. I tried Fable 3 but for some reason it was encouraging me to make hanky panky with every single person I met. .... No thanks. lol. I tried Skyrim as I heard great things but again I just couldn't get into it. Gimme Chrono Trigger, Legend of Dragoon, FF 3,7,8 (maybe 9 and 10 they weren't too bad as the story was really good) Gimme Lunar Silver Star Story Harvest Moon. Those are the games I love and miss. But I really do enjoy this series as well. I have never played a game like this before. I grew up on pick your journey/path books but never played a game like that.
the game needs one person who is constant which is / should / must be clem.
other wise whats the point in making such a fuss over her with choices and remembering and 'growing up'
(no need to point out the remembering and other shit for people who died)
I cant imagine the show without Rick but I dont think the game needs a constant. The good thing about these different formats of the same premise is that we can see different takes on them. With the games we can expand the universe and meet new characters and see how they deal with this situation. I think thats what's going to keep the series fresh.
Trust me, the game needs a constant, people will get sick of having a new main character in each season, and how would it be a new season anyway without some people from season 1?
I guess some people would but I welcome the change. New season, new start. We can revisit the old characters to see how they are doing but not focus on them.
I guess some people would but I welcome the change. New season, new start. We can revisit the old characters to see how they are doing but not focus on them.
I agree with this. I don't mind change. then again my favorite game has different people with every single release.
Anyway 28 days and weeks later is my absolute favorite franchise.
That was movie was pretty good, and a fresh take on the "zombie" genre. I think I'll have to rewatch it soon, and that was also the first time I got to see Christopher Eccleston in anything, who is a brilliant actor.
Have yet to see 28 Weeks Later, and I hadn't realized they were doing 28 Months later. I guess I'll be playing catch up soon.

I miss survival horror period. While Silent Hill has seen a decrease in quality, it still hasn't betrayed the genre itself. Other than that, pure survival horror has been pretty dry, unless you get into PC gaming, which is the whole reason why I'm getting a custom desktop. There's plenty of indie horror games out there, that manage to actually be a game someone would want to play, rather than just be another stale clone of some triple A title.
Oh, and a lot of them are far creepier and scarier than a lot of console releases. Lone Survivor is basically a 2D Silent Hill game, but it's great, and is even getting a PSN release sometime soon with added content and a new ending. I can't wait for that. Then there's Cry of Fear, and a lot of jump scare based stuff, and The Witch's House. A lot of them are short, but their quality is well worth the experience.
Oh, and Shinji Mikami is working on what looks to be a brilliant true return to survival horror with his The Evil Within project. I think survival horror may soon see a revival, which is what I'm hoping for.
every person sees it with a differing perspective of how it should be.I see this game as the story of Clementine ,much like the comic and tv show are the story of Rick.i want to see her survive from this,against all the odds and continue her story until Telltale end the series of WD games.
I always thought Lee and Clementine were co-protagonists. I never considered it just her story. Maybe if they grew Clementine into an adult, I would want to follow her again, but I dont know what she would add to the story at this point. Her relationship with Lee is what drove things for me and now he's gone. I cant see her having the same kind of bond with someone else.
I trust Telltale's ability to tell a great story. Whether that is with or without Clem is up to them.
400 Days proved to me that we could pretty much drop everything and introduce an all new cast of characters and it would still feel like the first season proper did.
Oh, and on the FF note - I've enjoyed FF13 and FF13-2 quite a bit. The story isn't awful, and the combat system is one of the best in any FF IMO.
Yes, The Walking Dead COMIC is meant to be a continuing story of survival horror. Not the GAME, though - as long as they stick to Kirkman's zombie rules Telltale are free to do whatever they want if it doesn't affect Rick and his group.
I think that Telltale should keep telling fresh stories each season in order to not end up as stagnant as the Comic is now with its recycled plotlines.
And by the way, Kirkman said that Rick's story will end with his death. I guess the same "principles" should apply to Lee then, huh?
I take it you are not a big fan of the comics? I think the comics are still awesome. But to each his own.
I read and hear people say that the comics have become stagnant and plotlines have been rehashed yet they are the same people that praise the game over the comics. Have I missed something here? I love the game becomes it is similar to the comics. The game is heavily influenced from events that have occurred in the comics. Lee straddling and battering Andy Sant John on the floor and Carly having to stop him, where have we seen that before, oh yeah Rick straddling and battering Thomas on the floor during his time at the Prison and Tyreese and Lori having to stop him. Lilly/Lee debating over attempting CPR on Larry and Kenny not wanting to take the risk, where have we seen that before, oh yeah Glen and Rick debating over attempting CPR on Maggie and Abraham not wanting to take the risk. Even the jacket that Lee wears in starved for help is a nod to the jacket worn by Rick Grimes in the comics. I could go on but the point is, although the game is very good it does borrow a lot from the comics which as a fan I see as a good thing.
I definitely disagree with the comment of Telltale beating Kirkman at his own game. The comics still have me on the edge of my seat and the fact that they can keep me so invested in the characters in just 20 pages of reading material is testament to Kirkman's skill in writing. People slammed Kirkman when Negan came on the scene and said it was a rehashed Governor story arc, now Negan and the direction of the comic have proved to be anything but.
After 10 years of writing, the comics are still going in new directions and they must be doing something right since the show only started 3 years ago and the game 1 year ago. That's 10 years’ worth of material to inspire both mediums. Though I agree that different mediums of the walking dead will suit different people more than others, where story writing and character development are concerned, the comics still excel for the obvious reason. It's an ongoing story so the pacing allows for more depth in character development and more realism.
I love the game as a game but if the game's plot and dialogue were written out in comic form it would no way surpass the monumental story arcs of the comic series. For instance could the antagonist of the game really compare to Negan or even the bandits that tried to rape Carl in terms of fear factor and could the kidnapper plot device really compare in terms of suspense and dread?
1- I trust Telltale's ability to tell a great story. Whether that is with or without Clem is up to them.
2 - 400 Days proved to me that we could pretty much drop everything and introduce an all new cast of characters and it would still feel like the first season proper did.
3 - Oh, and on the FF note - I've enjoyed FF13 and FF13-2 quite a bit. The story isn't awful, and the combat system is one of the best in any FF IMO.
1 Same here. Telltale is great at what they do. I trust them 100% to keep giving us quality story lines and a quality game. So long as it sticks to the universe of The Walking Dead. I am adamant on that.
2 Exactly. I won't mind at all new faces every season. And it will be like special treats to see past group members. It will surely be a nice change from what we already get with the other platforms. So long as only the game has these changes.
3 Absolutely. The story was pretty good. My only complaint.. It jumped around too much. I liked the combat system ok. FF8s combat was a lot more fun though like you know smash the trigger just before Squall attacks for special move. I miss that. But 7 and 8 trump all others for me.
the down side to having a new 'leads' is people will rage on about the survivors of the previous season..
for example how many people have raged about not having much from season 1 in 400 days ? only a brief glimpse of kenny which is still up for debate all we got was 3 random 'cancer group' and a simple imo lame copout of vernon.
no clem, no molly, no christa n omid.
(i accept it was a different story)
some people like me need closure for stuff don't always get it and it sucks but sometimes the unknown /make up your own mind isn't something we want to dwell on.
I take it you are not a big fan of the comics? I think the comics are still awesome. But to each his own.

I used to be a fan of the comics - but not anymore...
I read up to Volume 17, digital issue-by-issue, and brought the Trade Paperbacks of my favourite Volumes (1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16).
I left out the Governor arc because I found him to be ridiculously over-the-top for the fist villain we meet (A Rapist, Murderer, Bandit, Thief and Incest Paedophilic Necrophiliac rolled all into one), and I left out 13 because NOTHING HAPPENS.
Of course the game is going to include throw-backs to the source material.
I think that Telltale's writing staff are more realistic and down to earth.
Kirkman didn't have the balls to have Carl raped. Let's face it - it would've happened in real life...
I downloaded an image that sums up the whole comic - give me some time to upload it to my album and I'll edit this post to include it...
EDIT: Here it is
Save it and zoom in if you can't read it well.
...yeah, that's pretty much my opinion of the comic book in a nutshell. But to be fair, if Telltale puts in a sequence where Clem gets raped no matter what you do beforehand, I'll demand a full refund. Call me a wimp all you like, I just don't play video games to see that kind of thing.

I've seen Shaun of the Dead - It was alright...
Your loss brah, it's actually one of my favorite zombie games since Resident Evil REmake, and well...The Walking Dead of course. No one said you had to buy one, just borrow it from a friend.
Your nation stereotypes us as Aristocrats and Thugs - both toothless...

I dunno, maybe I'm just a special case, but a lot of my friends aren't afraid of their "outside world," so I don't view America the same way as the outside world might view it looking in. I would love to visit another country, Japan being on the top of my list, followed by the UK, and then Australia, and eventually Canada, since I have a friend living up there.
It is hard to tell a person's tone over the internet. I apologise.
I agree.
I still don't want to play it...
As do I, along with American & Scandinavian shows.
Maybe. There are probably more like you - I just haven't come across them in my travels...
Why don't you? Take the plunge, man - I don't regret it...
I agree that this is turning into a UK vs. USA thread, which I don't want.
I don't even want a Walking Dead set in the UK - just any state other than Georgia as we've seen so much of it in the comics, the show and the game.
I'd also like to see new stories told in-universe other than Clementine's.
I'm surprised I seem to be mostly alone in this view...

Since there are a lot of people, it becomes a habit to ignore people for some I guess...I don't know. I've always preferred the more isolated smaller communities and country type areas here myself.
Why don't you? Take the plunge, man - I don't regret it...
I want a decent knowledge of Japan's language and culture before visiting, since I want to actually communicate with the locals, especially if a dire need or situation comes up, plus I do believe it would enrich the experience I have there. The only other thing holding me back right now is money, but I am saving up just in case the opportunity presents itself.
I agree that this is turning into a UK vs. USA thread, which I don't want.
I don't even want a Walking Dead set in the UK - just any state other than Georgia as we've seen so much of it in the comics, the show and the game.
I'd also like to see new stories told in-universe other than Clementine's.
I'm surprised I seem to be mostly alone in this view..
It wasn't my intent to turn anything into a VS debate/argument, because I don't really view anyone or anything as superior, just different. As for TWD being mostly set in Georgia, I would actually love to see somewhere else and what they're up to...I guess they just wanted to connect it to the comics more by setting it there, and maybe they're just playing it safe...too safe.
Maybe that will change in the future. As for the comics, despite it running as long as it has, it's still only been about a few years in-comic, so it makes sense that they haven't visited too many places yet. Though I find the comics to be getting repetitive about now, and wish Kirkman would come up with something new not related to shock value, because even that gets predictable.
I am sorry for your father's loss.
Thank you for understanding my position.
Take care yourself.
Whatever floats your boat but I am sorry the tv show is far from awful you just don't appreciate good tv, like most people nowadays. They would rather watch tv stars lives unfold on television than watch a great story unfold in a post apocalyptic world. Meh to each their own though, not everyone can appreciate it real television. But you cannot have only played one game not even about TWD characters never have read the comics or even watched the show and claim to be the know all be all of TWD. I may not own the comics but I do read them on youtube. Remember Opinion is never Fact. IMHO you have no idea what you are talking about but in your opinion it is the greatest thing on earth. IMHO The game ain't that great, as FF is probably the greatest video game franchise ever. But in your opinion I am wrong. See how this works?
Good idea.
Agreed.
Apologies for the previous misunderstandings.
You're just trying to pick a fight w/ me. You're right about one thing though, I don't care about your opinion. This game is far more superior than anything else TWD related and that's a fact. Anyone who thinks that AMC's TWD show is good TV is wrong in so many ways.
I apologize to the thread users for my previous post. I am not sure why I always feed them but sometimes I make /facepalm decisions. Wont happen again.
Yes Yes I did. I will take Final Fantasy 3 , 7, and 8 over any game on the market any day. sorry. It is how I feel. TWD game is really good but I like my typical RPG turn based games. Tis my opinion and mine alone
the game needs one person who is constant which is / should / must be clem.
other wise whats the point in making such a fuss over her with choices and remembering and 'growing up'
(no need to point out the remembering and other shit for people who died)
LMAO Oh god no. I played them simply out of boredom. No I meant classic FF. Not that crap out now. Classic Resident evil was amazing too. See I hate FPS's and FP perspective there fore I rarely play anything other than turn based RPG, this game or WoW-SWToR. I am mostly an MMO fan. console just isn't my favorite platform.
FF13 is not crap. Its gave me much enjoyment.
Exactly why I stopped after RE 3. If I wanna play action zombies with a FP perspective I will borrow my brother in laws black ops game. I miss the old Resident Evils.... Hell I am having a hard time finding any games on the market today that I like. I tried Fable 3 but for some reason it was encouraging me to make hanky panky with every single person I met. .... No thanks. lol. I tried Skyrim as I heard great things but again I just couldn't get into it. Gimme Chrono Trigger, Legend of Dragoon, FF 3,7,8 (maybe 9 and 10 they weren't too bad as the story was really good) Gimme Lunar Silver Star Story Harvest Moon. Those are the games I love and miss. But I really do enjoy this series as well. I have never played a game like this before. I grew up on pick your journey/path books but never played a game like that.
I cant imagine the show without Rick but I dont think the game needs a constant. The good thing about these different formats of the same premise is that we can see different takes on them. With the games we can expand the universe and meet new characters and see how they deal with this situation. I think thats what's going to keep the series fresh.
I agree with this. I don't mind change. then again my favorite game has different people with every single release.
That was movie was pretty good, and a fresh take on the "zombie" genre. I think I'll have to rewatch it soon, and that was also the first time I got to see Christopher Eccleston in anything, who is a brilliant actor.
Have yet to see 28 Weeks Later, and I hadn't realized they were doing 28 Months later. I guess I'll be playing catch up soon.

I miss survival horror period. While Silent Hill has seen a decrease in quality, it still hasn't betrayed the genre itself. Other than that, pure survival horror has been pretty dry, unless you get into PC gaming, which is the whole reason why I'm getting a custom desktop. There's plenty of indie horror games out there, that manage to actually be a game someone would want to play, rather than just be another stale clone of some triple A title.
Oh, and a lot of them are far creepier and scarier than a lot of console releases. Lone Survivor is basically a 2D Silent Hill game, but it's great, and is even getting a PSN release sometime soon with added content and a new ending. I can't wait for that. Then there's Cry of Fear, and a lot of jump scare based stuff, and The Witch's House. A lot of them are short, but their quality is well worth the experience.
Oh, and Shinji Mikami is working on what looks to be a brilliant true return to survival horror with his The Evil Within project. I think survival horror may soon see a revival, which is what I'm hoping for.
400 Days proved to me that we could pretty much drop everything and introduce an all new cast of characters and it would still feel like the first season proper did.
Oh, and on the FF note - I've enjoyed FF13 and FF13-2 quite a bit. The story isn't awful, and the combat system is one of the best in any FF IMO.
I read and hear people say that the comics have become stagnant and plotlines have been rehashed yet they are the same people that praise the game over the comics. Have I missed something here? I love the game becomes it is similar to the comics. The game is heavily influenced from events that have occurred in the comics. Lee straddling and battering Andy Sant John on the floor and Carly having to stop him, where have we seen that before, oh yeah Rick straddling and battering Thomas on the floor during his time at the Prison and Tyreese and Lori having to stop him. Lilly/Lee debating over attempting CPR on Larry and Kenny not wanting to take the risk, where have we seen that before, oh yeah Glen and Rick debating over attempting CPR on Maggie and Abraham not wanting to take the risk. Even the jacket that Lee wears in starved for help is a nod to the jacket worn by Rick Grimes in the comics. I could go on but the point is, although the game is very good it does borrow a lot from the comics which as a fan I see as a good thing.
I definitely disagree with the comment of Telltale beating Kirkman at his own game. The comics still have me on the edge of my seat and the fact that they can keep me so invested in the characters in just 20 pages of reading material is testament to Kirkman's skill in writing. People slammed Kirkman when Negan came on the scene and said it was a rehashed Governor story arc, now Negan and the direction of the comic have proved to be anything but.
After 10 years of writing, the comics are still going in new directions and they must be doing something right since the show only started 3 years ago and the game 1 year ago. That's 10 years’ worth of material to inspire both mediums. Though I agree that different mediums of the walking dead will suit different people more than others, where story writing and character development are concerned, the comics still excel for the obvious reason. It's an ongoing story so the pacing allows for more depth in character development and more realism.
I love the game as a game but if the game's plot and dialogue were written out in comic form it would no way surpass the monumental story arcs of the comic series. For instance could the antagonist of the game really compare to Negan or even the bandits that tried to rape Carl in terms of fear factor and could the kidnapper plot device really compare in terms of suspense and dread?
1 Same here. Telltale is great at what they do. I trust them 100% to keep giving us quality story lines and a quality game. So long as it sticks to the universe of The Walking Dead. I am adamant on that.
2 Exactly. I won't mind at all new faces every season. And it will be like special treats to see past group members. It will surely be a nice change from what we already get with the other platforms. So long as only the game has these changes.
3 Absolutely. The story was pretty good. My only complaint.. It jumped around too much. I liked the combat system ok. FF8s combat was a lot more fun though like you know smash the trigger just before Squall attacks for special move. I miss that. But 7 and 8 trump all others for me.
for example how many people have raged about not having much from season 1 in 400 days ? only a brief glimpse of kenny which is still up for debate all we got was 3 random 'cancer group' and a simple imo lame copout of vernon.
no clem, no molly, no christa n omid.
(i accept it was a different story)
some people like me need closure for stuff don't always get it and it sucks but sometimes the unknown /make up your own mind isn't something we want to dwell on.
I used to be a fan of the comics - but not anymore...
I read up to Volume 17, digital issue-by-issue, and brought the Trade Paperbacks of my favourite Volumes (1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16).
I left out the Governor arc because I found him to be ridiculously over-the-top for the fist villain we meet (A Rapist, Murderer, Bandit, Thief and Incest Paedophilic Necrophiliac rolled all into one), and I left out 13 because NOTHING HAPPENS.
Of course the game is going to include throw-backs to the source material.
I think that Telltale's writing staff are more realistic and down to earth.
Kirkman didn't have the balls to have Carl raped. Let's face it - it would've happened in real life...
I downloaded an image that sums up the whole comic - give me some time to upload it to my album and I'll edit this post to include it...
EDIT: Here it is
Save it and zoom in if you can't read it well.
...yeah, that's pretty much my opinion of the comic book in a nutshell. But to be fair, if Telltale puts in a sequence where Clem gets raped no matter what you do beforehand, I'll demand a full refund. Call me a wimp all you like, I just don't play video games to see that kind of thing.
