Keep dying....

edited July 2013 in The Walking Dead
My biggest beef with this game is there seems to be no way to skip a place in the game that you find too hard to complete.

you would think that the game logic would either compensate after you die like....say 30 times or so...........or the game would simply allow you to skip forward past those parts.

I play the game for the decisions, not the shoot em up stuff, SO I am forever getting stuck in rewind land over and over again trying to kill this one or the other...when I just want to move along.

    I couldn't agree more. Let's hope Telltale adds in a skip to credits button for all future episodes.

    sarcasm detected ;)

    all i can really say is if you suck at the 'shooting sections' and can't figure out the simple task of aiming in the general direction and pressing a button..

    my only conclusion is you must be the worlds worst gamer.

    or you're a troll trying to be funny

    either way the op is failing.

    no..

    some of the season 1/400 are bad enough if say you want to stop molly from attacking lee you gotta be very quick.

    if you want to stop nate killing wyatt in the car you gotta be quick..

    if you want to stop kenny beatting lee up you gotta be quick.

    either improve them with a different less annoying button combo or stick with what works..

    note to devs the mouse click and mouse movement does NOT work.

    the mouse click and arrow movement does fine.

    imho a combo of stuff should have more than one main button and a secondry like use the arrow key's /dpad/stick to go with the action. moving the mouse for bonnie removing the rebar was imho too clunky and seemingly didn't register anything quickly.

    You're right Milo, and stopping Molly's attack is definitely the hardest one in the whole game to pull off for me. Catching Danny's rifle comes at a close second but the reason these are so difficult aren't completely because they're just quick, but the game puts the cursor too far away and makes you fight the moving camera. You can be ready for it and still miss them every time.

    What section did you die 30 times on?

    Something tells me it was the scene where Katjaa was being held hostage by Brenda St. John. :D

    LOL........not a "gamer" at all

    which obviously is the problem

    I bought the game as a summer lark to hold me over between TV seasons of the series.


    I was a gamer back in the 1980's though!!!

    maybe that's the real problem there.

    anyhow

    no I can't kill all the bandits at the RV in part 3.

    just using a PC with mouse and arrow keys

    so I just pull the game up once in while and then screw around with it a couple times till I am sick of getting shot in the head and turn it back off.

    I know what I am SUPPOSED to do ( I can do a goggle search)... but at my advanced age, apparently my reflexes are not "quick" enough to complete this simple task (at level 3 no less)...or perhaps my deteriorating eyesight doesn't allow me to "aim" my MOUSE curser properly at the bandits head.

    seems like it would be pretty easy to adjust the game logic that once someone dies repeatedly at the same spot the game ether adjusts the level of difficulty there or allows the player to move past that spot in the game.



    but I guess not!!

    so unless one of you "gamers" wanna come over to my house and help the old man out past this level I guess I am zombie meat!!

    Try adjusting the sensitivity in the pause screen, lower might make it easy to aim those shots without missing accidentally. Aim your sights directly over the cover they take and try to hit them on their first pop up if you can.

    Stupid bandits screw everything up.
  • edited July 2013
    thanks

    I'll work on the mouse adjustments some more...have dome some, but I can do more

    probably just practice, but frankly I am close to just taking the laptop in the backyard and using my REAL scope to "take care of things"

    LOL.

    If it makes you feel any better, I died the most at that section too. I suck at shooters anyway and I wasnt used to this new game mechanic.
  • edited July 2013
    I am happy that they tied to make new mechanics, they could have just stuck with the whole point and shoot, not that it's a problem, I like pointing and shooting the zombies, but you do have to give them credit for trying something new.
  • edited July 2013
    here's another tip :)

    don't try and kill them in one go take a few shots and then use the cover i think by clicking the right mouse button to 'exit' give it a sec or two and then try again.

    after you've shot enough dudes the game moves on. rinse repeat !

    if you offer candy to anyone willing to help you, i'm outta here.

    Me to, but if no candy is offered, I will continue to help you.

    Use an Xbox controller for your pc. It's much easier and clearer and allows you to react to situations faster because the controller is planted on your hands rather than keys on a keyboard... :D

    Oh, I absolutely do, I was just getting mighty frustrated. I didnt throw my controller at my tv but I was close, lol.

    geez why not just have a der duh derpa derpa pffft difficulty level.

    And if its your eyesight maybe video games and tv are not for you.

    lol wut? you are much more likely to miss with a controller than a keyboard and mouse...simply because the joysticks simply don't react as fast as a mouse.

    I would have to agree with this. I played the game on xbox too and it is significantly harder to aim at all the shooting parts due to oversensitive controls. For me it was movie too fast.
  • edited July 2013
    I have no problem on the PC, but then again, I don't know how it is on Xbox.
    But, really, in all honesty, the game ISN'T hard.

    The OP is a troll or just too bad playing. It's not Telltale fault.
  • edited July 2013
    I had no problems with the Xbox version during shooter parts.
  • edited July 2013
    It might be worth allowing configuration for time the player has to respond in fast clicking segments, and all dialogue choices as a seperate option. Considering someone with bad eyesight, dyslexia, or just slow reaction time/reading speed might need a couple of seconds more.

    Er, it was definitely overly sensitive for me. I still managed to get 'em all but it felt way less accurate than on pc.
  • edited July 2013
    It might have, but I think I keep my sensitivity at like level 3 when I play FPS.
