The Walking Dead

Just finished episode 4, only got the game Wednesday so have quite enjoyed it.

I let Ben die, never liked him, and have wanted to kill him since he caused Carly's death (only person outside of Clem, or well Glenn, I actually liked). Left Lilly behind after that happened so was nice to finally get payback on Ben. Now I'm just waiting on a chance to get Kenny killed.

Anything else required?(Apart from the comics not in the compendiums).

Is there a B&M place in Dublin to buy?(doubt it, no harm in asking).

AFAIK There's a forbidden planet in Dublin, could be wrong.

There is, along Aston Quay, just over the Ha'Penny bridge and to the left (Southside)

PirateShampoo · 10-11-2012 10:29am

I'm just happy that before I die, I got the chance to tell Larry to **** Off. The slimy little sob tries to kill me every chance he gets.

The Episode 4 Choises video is out. Really raging I

hid the bite at the end. Looks like I could have getting everyone to go with me if I showed it to them.

Obvious spoilers are obvious

Guess we'll be seeing the fifth episode next week or early the following week. I'm assuming they won't be doing a simultaneous release for the series and final episode. Think this has been my GOTY, I get excited whenever I see the topic bumped.. :P

If they knock Ep. 5 out of the park, my GOTY will be between this and Journey.

Never before has a game series sparked so much debate for me. I always spend ages down the pub discussing it with friends after we've played through the latest episode. Probably one of the most emotional games I've ever played too. Love it.

pixelburp · 15-11-2012 10:12pm

I am conflicted - I want to play the final episode, and yet at the same time I utterly dread it. There will be no happy ending, all we can hope for is a bittersweet one

Give 'em hell Lee, just make sure Clems safe & sound.

I'd say it will come down to Journey or Walking Dead. I doubt a psn/xbox live game has ever got game of the year before? I picked Walking Dead anyway, and Journey for the rest where I could.

You'd like to think so, but I think ME3 will get it even though people were in uproar about the ending.
I'm delighted that COD didnt get a chance to get in on the GOTY award.

Star Lord · 16-11-2012 6:13pm

I'm scared of what Episode 5 will do...

Lone Stone · 16-11-2012 6:24pm

cant wait, i just hope its not some huge anti climax.

Princess Peach · 16-11-2012 9:22pm

I don't know if I'm emotionally stable enough to play it!!

danthefan · 16-11-2012 11:28pm

Anyone know how this runs on a laptop? I've a Core i5, 6GB RAM, and I think a ATI HD7470M or something like that. I would assume the processor and memory are alright, not sure about the graphics card though.

I have a weaker laptop and it ran Jurassic park just fine and I'd say this is less intensive.

I' m running it on a Toshiba Sat L850 with 8gb and an Intel HD Graphics 3000 card. Works great.

Orim · 19-11-2012 3:36pm

Not long to go now. Anyone care to make any predictions?

Personally, I think we're going to find Clems parents and it's going to turn that they're scientists and they have a cure and everything is going to be okay. Just fine and dandy. Just perfect

Have you read the Novels ? Things don't go according to plan like that.
I expect a massive Cliffhanger and a "coming in Season 2 - etc etc"

Fluffy88 · 19-11-2012 3:55pm

I might be a little late with this.
Just played EP2 yesterday. At the beginning of it I was getting a bit sick of the slow pace,

walking around the motel yard talking to everyone and deciding who to give food to, even though it wasn't going to have any impact on the story.

.
But I kept going and I have to say WOW it really picked up so much. The story in EP2 was far better than 1, it was longer and it feels like your decisions had far greater consequences than they did in EP1.

Hopefully things keep up the pace in the next few episodes. I'd love to do a few runs through to see what impact each decision has but I don't know if I could as there were so many and it will get very long trying to reply all 5 episodes

Zero-Cool · 19-11-2012 3:59pm

Fluffy, wait til you play episode 3....and then episode 4.... and I'm sure ep 5 will be a cracker. Game just keeps getting better as it goes. After ep 5 is out, it will be interesting to see a poll for everyones favourite episode.

That was meant to be a joke prediction hence the repetition of the "it's going to be okay" stuff at the end and the sad face.

I really hope we don't get a cliffhanger for season 2. I'd rather close it out and have season 2 be it's own beast.

Zero-Cool · 19-11-2012 4:09pm

Yeah they should end this storyline to top off the GOTY. I just hope the game doesn't follow the TV Show format and turn sh*t for the 2nd season

It's annoying that Clem won't find her parents though, the message on the phone in her house in Episode 1

Cannot wait for Ep 5 now. It will be a one sitting playthrough I suspect as well!

Thinking about this. I can see us finding Clems parents but the choice being to sacrifice Lee to save her parents.

We know it's possible to survive a bite with a bit of arm chopping off.

It would be good if you had a choice like that ,you or the parents, but I just don't see a good ending for

Lee

Bone-idle.ie posted a link to voting TWD for the Spike game awards on their facebook page and the actors that voice Clem and Danny St. John (from Ep 2) left comments. Was fairly cool.

Clem "Melissa Hutchison Wow!! Thank you so much!!! I am still in a bit of shock...Voicing Clementine has been such an amazing, fulfilling experience. I am so thrilled this game is getting the recognition it very well deserves!!! This goes for you too Brian Sommer!!!!"

I asked Brian Sommer (Danny) if he would be returning in Ep 5 "The answer is ........ (Please stand by, we are experiencing technical difficulties)"

Does the group in the game know this? Even if they did, they don't really have the supplies to keep someone alive after

cutting off a limb

It hasn't come up but someone might give it a go. Supplies could be an issue but in the last episode

the group found the doctor who could help and took medicine and supplies from Crawford.

If it were any other character

that got bitten

Lee and Kenny would probably argue and decide to kill that person

for preventative measures

chrislad · 19-11-2012 8:17pm

Doesn't

surviving a bite with amputation generally depend on the amputation being done instantly

?

SeantheMan · 19-11-2012 8:31pm

I would think so too,

in order to stop it spreading, however it's all fictional, so depending on what "universe" it happened in, they can make their own rules up - it didn't take long for the teacher to turn in episode 2, although he was completely dead. So I guess Lee has to die first before turning ? I dunno. I can see the ending being, everyone dies , except Clem and the black lady, can't remember her name...and then they go off into the sunset or something.

Orim · 19-11-2012 8:35pm

It's all meant to be the same universe as the comics and iirc didn't it take a while for them (Comic Spoiler)

get to Dale after he was bitten?

Also we don't know when episode 5 is going to pick up so it could straight where it left off in four.

In the comics yeah,

Dale took ages to go, he said his goodbyes and thanked Rick etc, sure he was even captured by the cannibals, rescued and brought back to the prison before he died. So can take a while I guess

Zero-Cool · 19-11-2012 9:26pm

Ya I think getting bitten is just like a death sentence spreading through your body until you die. You can heal from from a regular injury but only way to stop a z infection is to amputate. Up in the air how long you have tho before its too late.

I wish I hadn't

hid

it

Yup iv been playing all the episodes on iPad so far, iPad 2 stuttered a bit but nothing major. Runs perfectly on iPad 3/4

The drag finger to walk action can be a bit tricky to get used to but other than that it plays really great overall.

Mr Freeze · 20-11-2012 4:05pm

Hard to make predictions for this last ep, easiest thing to say is

it's gonna be bad

Will definitely play it all in one go, with some time left over to fall on the floor and rock back and fourth in the fetal position once I see the ending.

chrislad · 20-11-2012 4:33pm

Ugh, I just know it's not going to be out until, like, west coast American time 6pm or something just to mess with me!

Mr Freeze · 20-11-2012 6:23pm

Just watched the trailer for it.

WOW. Can't wait.

Watch at your own risk, it hints at how things might end for 1

or 2

character.
