Which th einternet seems to be doing.[/QUOTE] As much as I love Mass Effect 3, the game has glaring flaws, and a lot of things that you protect in the game are those flaws. Bioware messed up. They did sh*tty job with a lot of parts in the game. They did some great things with it, especially the combat, but they f*cked up story and choices. The new characters were mostly ridiculous, and the one that was interesting was DLC only. They promised the choices in the first two games were going to be impacting the ending, but in the end, they rarely mattered. And ending was hideous, a bad ripoff of Deus Ex, and just plain bad. Destroyed lore. You say you shouldn't let people voice ignorance, but you are not realizing that it's you that is voicing ignorance and refusing to accept and try to understand what others are even saying. And as for it getting high scores, well, I was never a believer of scores, or video gaming "journalism" for that matter.- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

First of all, there's like hundreds of games like TWD. The genre is called ADVENTURE GAME. Games like Monkey Island, Sam & Max, Broken Sword, Discworld, Syberia etc. (though these are all primarely PC)
Does this game have any survival strategies? Like collecting food, water, ect? - There is collecting food and making tough choices regarding it, but it's not the kind you want. It's part of the story, not the gameplay.
Is there any type of gamesplay besides QTE? - It's an adventure game, you do logic puzzles and talk to people. You pick items from inventory and use them with other items. And there aren't really any QTEs in this game besides some minor button mashing.
Is this game all about choice and story? - Again, it's an adventure game, it's about story and small puzzles.
And can an arcade game like this really be worthy of the title GOTY? - Do you even know what arcade game means? TWD is not one. And yes, it's my personal GOTY. I've been playing adventure games for a long time, and this one is among the best.
Replay Value? - Unlike say Mass Effect, your choices actually matter here. Apart from that, have you ever watched a movie that was so great you had to watch it several times? I personally replay games solely for the story (in games like say Dragon Age I always choose the same choices)
As for the TV show, this game's story and writing is like a hundred times better.
[/QUOTE] I think by arcade he meant XBL Arcade, you know, as in Digital Download, he does own an Xbox and MS Points afterall, and other than that you are totaly on point. Just please consider being more polite about it next time.- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

[/QUOTE] Other than the concept that he was right a lot, it's the same exact take of how he's douchy and does sh1t for douchy reasons like sweating another dudes woman. He would have been far more compelling if they justified his behavior better, and he was a more endearing parralel to what Rick was doing. As a character from what I hear the comic handles it better, because it gets rid of him quickly before he can expose how much Rick's indecisive nature holds them back before the prison arch.
Never played the game, didn't read the comics, but I would say Texas is wrong on the show being overrated. Not because it's great, no because how is something that is popular, but widely regarded as nowhere near a great drama overrated? Because for it's first 2 seasons it was consistently exposded for having iffy writing, poorly done characters, and contrived plot threads. Especially season 2 and the stuff with Shane. It's popular sure, but it's not a heavily praised TV show, and if it wasn't for The Killing it would be the worst show on AMC.
The third season has been better, because it's focused less on the drama/character stuff and more so on just being a show about people having to live in a world with zombies.- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.
- Dec 8, 2012 5:51 am GMTI don't think it is GotY material. It's a great experience but it's more of a visual novel to me. Every actual gameplay mechanic/element in them is something that makes the experience noticeably worse. If there was a segment for like "story of the year" or "interactive experience of the year" I'd give it a vote in that, but GotY is a bit much for a title with such bad and so little actual gameplay elements.

So you're saying the guys who created the comics for Walking Dead aren't good writers? The show is far from overrated.- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

DoDonPachi SaiDaiOuJou (X360) - May 2013[QUOTE="texasgoldrush"]the gameplay is nowhere near as good as other point and click adventures...and its no Kings Quest VI, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, The Longest Journey, or Grim Fandango....which all have better puzzles and far better adventure elements than the Walking Dead. [/QUOTE]that's because this is more of a visual novel than a point and click adventure, and it's not really fair to compare it to puzzle based point and click adventures. It's more similar to games like to the moon and tswce.
what's funny is that it's probably telltale's best game this gen and a lot of their focus is on point and click adventures more akin to the old lucasarts games.

I think this is were the adventure genre is supposed to go, i mean, the old way that's ben standard for Lord knows how many years is ageless, but this seems to be a proper evolution. And this is the only genre were i feel it fits like a glove.

Ofcourse it is Game of the Year material, except if you are a ''IT MUST HAVE AWESOME REALISTIC GRAPHICS BETTER THAN BF3!!!!'' or ''THE GAMEPLAY MUST BE AWESOME AND UNIQUE AND VERY HARD TOO MASTER!!!'' guy.
You should play the game from start to the end to see how good it actually is. As said before, its an adventure game, and you need to build up a relationship with all the characters there are.
