    As good as TWD game is, Max Payne is GOTY for me so far.

    Haha, well TWD isn't a bad purchase anyway, really glad I got the season pass for it.

    The TV Show is pretty different.
    Not a bad show though.

    I own a good few telltale games.
    They're pretty similar. They specialise in point & click.
    I'd say this is more decision-driven than most of their other games.
    The timer on decisions is different from the others I've played.
    I really like this series, but since I'm a massive fan of Back to the Future, buy more.

    I haven't read the past 3 or 4 pages, but did anyone side with Larry?
    Ah, looks like nobody did. Spoilered just in case :p

    It's not looking like it, I mean I would love if it was out Wednesday but surely they would have announced it by now.

    Because Episodal development means they can get your money now, give you part of it, and still use your money to fuel the other 4 parts of the game to give you later on.

    Never buying like this again, I think next time I will wait for all episodes to be released ..

    **** off june dats very vague way were goin be lucky to get 5 by xmas


  • Registered Users Posts: 29,477 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    Yeah, I wish they had a date for each episode. If one is running late fair enough as long as they keep us updated but I don't like this 'every month' and then 'june....' it's too vague.

    Ah Max Payne is taking up all my time atm and then Batman DLC is out end of May so that will keep me going till episode 2.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,599 ✭✭✭James Howlett


    After seeing the promo for episode 2 at the end of the first episode it looked like they had everything prepared.

    It's possible that they didn't expect the popularity they received and are now doing re-writes to include more characters from comics/ tv show in an effort to convert even more Walking Dead comic/ tv show fans into Walking Dead game players.

    Was hoping against hope that they might spring he next episode on the PSN today alas no :(

    Will it arrive next week? Time between the episodes is a bit much really.

    According to wikipedia

    The game will be released in separate ensembles consisting of five episodes in total.[11]
    Episode 1: A New Day - April 24-27th, 2012
    Episode 2: Starved for Help - June 30,2012
    Episode 3: Long Road Ahead - August, 2012
    Episode 4: Around Every Corner - TBA
    Episode 5: No Time Left - TBA

    Got a few more weeks to wait unfortunately


  • Registered Users Posts: 29,477 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool

    Surely there cant be 2 months between episodes. Personaly next week is plently late enough

    It doesn't give any information regarding dates on the PS3

    E3 schedule shows The Walking Dead Episode 2.

    Fairly bad to unveil it at e3 when it should already be out by now!

    06/06/2012 | 3:20PM - 3:40PM PST - Walking Dead: Episode 2

    We are heading into two months since EP1 debuted that's twice the wait people woulda guessed at most. Episodic nonsense... within the fortnight else >>>

    A few hours to finish, no official word on ep 2 but seems they held it back to get publicity for it at E3 hopefully this week or next.

    About 2 hours for the playthrough but you'll most likely want to play it through again to see what changes happen when you change your decisions


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,406 ✭✭✭Nollog


    Took me around 2 hours too, the choices are timed though, so you have only a small amount of time to think as you make choices.
    It would be longer, but not as good a game if they didn't have the timer.
