We need some distraction! How do you bridge the time until season 2?
We are all desperate for season 2 to be released, but unfortunately we still have to excercise ourselves in patience.
What are your videogame or activity recommendations so time can fly until we finally get new adventures of TWD served up on a plate?

I am looking forward to play "Beyond Two Souls" - have you finished it, yet, and if so, is the end as dissapointing, as "Heavy Rain"?
I recommend State of Decay, probably the best zombie survival game so far.
Okay, is it better than 'The Last Of Us'?
It's very different from TLOU. State of Decay is more like a sandbox type of game, you got a big map to explore and you can fortify your safehouse, look for supplies to collect, assign your survivors to different tasks etc...
The only real similarity between the two games is the post-apocalyptic universe, not much else.
I still need to finish season 1 and 400 days on the PC. I need to do it tonight, in case the proverbial snowball's chance in hell scenario that season 2 comes out tommorow.
No need to rush. Im sure it won't come out tomorrow so chillax and enjoy without hurry
I've started playing through Season 1 again, choosing different options for the less important dialogues. Had a lot of fun seeing the different reactions... did you know that by choosing silence when you first speak to Clementine on the walkie-talkie leads to her getting worried that you might have left her? It's adorable and sad.
It's not a zombie game, but I like the Sims 3.
Played Beyond: Two Souls, mainly because I loved Heavy Rain. Also Ellen Page.
Uh, what didn't you like about the end of Heavy Rain? Is it that whole "choices don't matter towards the ending" problem? If so, I wouldn't recommend getting Beyond: Two Souls. It has even less seg-ways that affect the ending than Heavy Rain. Hell, you CHOOSE your ending in Beyond: Two Souls. Nevertheless, I still really enjoyed it.
I haven't played Beyond Two Souls, but I watched it on youtube. It is probably one of the best games I've seen this year, and I actually really liked Heavy Rain as well. I'm not sure what your preference of games is, since everyone has different opinions, but my favorite games that I've seen that were released recently are Beyond Two Souls and The Last of Us. You could still go and find some free downloadable games, those usually keep me busy for a while
The ending of Heavy Rain just doesn't make sense. They drop a major plot point that dominates the first half of the game without explanation. They make it clear from the start, that Ethan could be the Origami killer in a multiple personalities kind of way, as he states he can't do origami and still he wakes up after his blackouts with the origami in his hand. They do that multiple times. Why is that? They never explain. I have seen the explanation that was supposed to be in the game on youtube, a ridiculous Harry Potter-Voldemort connection between the killer and Ethan, they cut that out, but didn't bother to put another explanation in the game.
As for Shelby. His actions also don't make much sense. He knows who the killer is. Why on earth would he go after his copy-cat, where 20 people shoot at him? Risk his life so willy-nilly?
It was really disappointing how this game turned out, because playing it was really fun... til the ending came.
It also shows a problem when you as a player make decisions for a character, and then the game developer just turns this character upside down, so that your actions as player don't fit the personality of said character. Why would Shelby intervene in the mugging at the store? He would get rid of a possible witness and (again) not risk his life. But the player doesn't know at this point, that intervening here doesn't fit his character.
(Don't get me started on the creepy shower, strip and sex scenes. The strip scene did something at moving the plot forward, so I would let that slide, but the multiple shower scenes relly felt icky (not that ther's something wrong with showering, but here it felt that it was solely for the purpose of voyeurism))
David Cage is really overrated. He makes interesting games with interesting premises and just can't tie them together in the end. Still I know i will try beyond two souls and hope he finally gets his act together.
No, really? I don't wanna even imagine Clemmy being sad and scared
I enjoyed the last of us a lot.
Another kick ass game I enjoyed this year was Tomb Raider. I grew up with the ps1 tomb raider games but the latest one the put out was amazing.
I am totally into "choices do matter games". @Made made very clear what's so wrong with this game, no need for me to explain any further, his comment described my feelings and observations very well. The end with SPOILER Shelby being the killer made absolutely no sense, not at all. Hopefully "Beyond Two Souls" has a better plot.
I am into different kinds of games, mostly adventures, "choices do matter" kind of games or cinematic games with depth and an interesting plot. Playing a lot, no specific genres. My favorite games are e.g. Portal (I
GLaDOS), Catherine, Monkey Island games, Broken Sword series, ZombieU, Kingdom Hearts, Journey, Limbo, anything Telltale and Daedalic. What I don't like: classical shooter games - I just can't shoot, that damn reticle really drives me nuts. There are some really good shooters out there, e.g. Bioshock or Mass Effect, they have a good storyline, I prefer to watch someone else play it.
It's not really a distraction rrom S2, but I recommend the youtube channel by "theturningdead" - he makes tons of TWD season 2 prediction videos and analyzes the TWD universe, here's one of his latests:
Is State of Decay out in PC?
Hehe, I kill time every day by taking long walks. Since I found The Walking Dead I lost amusement in other games. Right now play The Wolf Among Us while waiting for a official release date. When we get one I will start re-playing the first season of The Walking Dead to get my choices straight. I just hope it's very soon, this eternal wait is unbearable.
Yeah (windows) try looking for it on steam.
Stinks for ps3 owners such as myself though.
Although not everyone here likes Wolf Among Us, the gameplay is similar enough to Walking Dead to count as something to pass time to me.
If you don't like Wolf Among Us, you could also replay Season 1 and/or 400 Days. I initially finished Season 1 on PC, but replayed it on iOS with different choices. Watching videos of 400 Days can also pass time, which is great in short doses.
Definitely watching different let's plays of the games can kill hours easily.
I heard something called "sleeping" is a very good time killer. Gonna give it a try!
I've been playing 7 days to die, game's still in alpha but it's kind of fun.
I tried state of decay on pc but the game overwhelms me with side missions like it did back when i played the 360 version (guess it was a feature and not a bug), game is fun but the infinite side missions get old pretty quickly and make the game feel like a chore, you don't have much of a choice either if you don't do them everyone dies.
Just got it yesterday on steam, its a great game to kill time, the whole 3rd person zombie survival is pretty cool.
I'm growing a mustache until Season 2 comes out, going for that Kenny look.
I've been playing The Dead Linger. The game is still in it's Alpha phase and full of bugs, but it looks promising.
Go to the gym, work, play other video games just to keep you mildly entertained until season 2, and go parachuting.
I'm playing through the monkey island games at the moment..I just started Tales of monkey island a few days ago. While waiting for a new telltale game I play a old one
Guybrush is the best, I need to replay those games like I need a fourth nipple!
They aren't for everybody but since you did mention liking cinematic games with interesting plots and mentioned Kingdom Hearts as a game that you like, you might try looking into some jRPGs/action RPGs that are out there. Atlus, the company that made Catherine, is well-known for their Persona games. There's also any number of "Tales" games that you might play. Dark Cloud 2/ Dark Chronicle. Then there's games like Okami that are less RPG-like but still have a pretty interesting story (and also really cool art). Of course, there's always Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest but those have more dated turn-base battle systems that may not be to your taste.
EDIT: Also Shadow of the Collosus and ICO.
I loved Final Fantasy VIi, VIII and X, after these I quit playing the series. I tried some chapters of XII and XIII but the stories lacked emotional depth and good twists IMO. Thanks for your recommendations. I gonna give shadow of the collossus and ICO a try, as I've heard they got good critiques. A friend recommended Pikmin 3 and is even willing to borrow it - think I got a plan for this weekend
Follow The Girl From Aus's let's play of The Wolf Among Us she just started. Looks legit.
And watch her The Walking Dead/400 Days let's play.
I think some zombie movie recommendations is in order:
Did I leave anyone worth a watch out?
Yeah, you forgot the "Rob" Zombie movies
Bump.
I sure did!
And Evil Dead!
Currently playing The Wolf Among Us and then I guess it'll be time to get Into the Future and play a little Sims3
I actually have some Telltale games that I have bought and haven't finished playing, because sometimes when I get the jones real bad after I complete an episode, it helps to have another game to taper off.
But I've only got a week before the enhanced edition of Baldur's Gate II comes out. So, I don't feel the need to tap into my strategic reserves.
Yup yup yup that's a really good game. I played it between TWD S1 and 400days. My only problem with it, it has an ending but there is no State of Decay 2 yet. You just return to your safe house and continue to gather resources. then do it all again.
I would like to see this game expand not only with additional map's, but also like a worldwide mmo. Join with other players and groups. defend your safe house or go on raids. That would be cool.
Give yourself an ultimatum to explore all the land of Skyrim and discover all locations. Bought Skyrim like a year ago and still haven't explored all locations. The game is huge! This includes all DLCs giving you more locations to explore.
