I'm speechless - what kind of game is this??

edited October 2013 in The Walking Dead

What kind of game would make a grown man cry? OMG I just finished Episode 5 and I'm not ashamed to say this as a grown man..... I seriously needed a box of kleenex after that sad ending. Wow. I'm speechless - the writers & designers of TellTale deserve a round of applaus.

Gripping storyline
Real believeable characters
Fantastic idea behind the game to give the player a choice at critical moments....
All of it - just super.

And Clementine - my heart just bleeds for that little girl. I can't believe I'm so emotional over a fucking video game. The voice acting... the facial expression on the characters ... all of it just pulls you right in.

Unbelieveable - I can't wait for Season 2 to come out.

  • This game was fucking depressing and this game definitely doesn't fuck around. I didn't cry though. Maybe it's just all in my head and I feel that crying and letting out such emotions can be considered acts of pussies. Maybe I am the pussy for not crying. Then again, I had nothing to hold back. I had no urge to cry. I did feel for the characters, isn't that enough? Anyway, this game truly is a masterpiece, I just wish those damn technical errors and glitches weren't there. They are the only obstacle preventing this game from being "Perfect". The voice acting was very convincing and you can hear the emotions run through the tone of their voice, whether it's anger, sadness, or fucking happiness.

    This currently stands as my favorite game of all time. Hopefully Season 2 will be just as good, if not, better.

  • Episode 5 gave me manly tears too, there's no shame in admitting it. It's only natural if you truly care for the characters, they feel real. Telltale has a firm grip on our hearts with Clementine, I cannot even imagine what we will be put through in season 2.
