What the title says.
I'm asking because I'm playing the entire series for the first time (I only played season 1 but a very long time ago), and, IDK if it's an unpopular opinion, but I was really surprised with the drop of quality from season 1 to 2. I'd dare call season 1 a masterpiece, great piece of storytelling and almost every character was likeable or relatable in a way.
In season 2 I hated everyone, I don't see the appeal with Luke, I also don't understand the "liking" the game had for him (He gets disappointed if you don't sit with him when he is a guy you literally just met, what? lol), the rest of the entire new group is lame too, them defending the russian guy was so stupid.
Season 3 is off to a good start so far, but it's barely about Clem from what I'm told. And I know literally nothing about The Final Season.
So I was wondering what's y'all's ranking.
Sorry for the length. I just want to share my thoughts playing and finishing the game for the first time and how l've been feeling since. I finished the game exactly a week ago. I really enjoyed it.
I played season 1 on mobile for the first time in April and I randomly decided to download it and play it. I thought the game was fantastic, so when I finished it, I thought that you had to pay to play episodes before completing one, so when I played episode 1 and couldn't play the rest I was disappointed, this is what got me into the show though. I was on my pc and when I randomly decided to search up the game around a month ago, I saw that the Definitive series was $12 for the whole thing and at first, I wasn't going to buy it, then I saw that it was normally $50 so I decided to get it. I replayed the first episode and didn't get the same feeling that I got whenever I first played it on mobile. I kind of regretted it. I started playing more and at episode 3-4 | really started to enjoy the game. I waited around a week to play episode 5 and didn't feel like playing it and after playing it, that's when I really started playing this game more.
I thought that I was going to only play season 1 and not play again for a while, but it got so good I played it more and more.
After finishing the final season, it was crazy because I was spoiled about what happens to Clementines leg, so whenever she got bit, I knew that wasn't it for her. I did see that there were different endings so whenever I got to the barn scene, I thought I got the ending where she doesn't make it.
It's crazy to me because that's the first time I actually teared up from a game or show/movie. I usually get light headed or there's some water but it's usually nothing but at that scene, I actually teared up a bit. Seeing people play and videos right after finishing the game made me tear up a bit more.
When Aj was fishing I really thought it was it and when the gates closed I thought the game finished, whenever Clem spoke, I was just shocked and didn't know how it happened that she was still here. I thought it was just his head when she spoke, but when I saw her, it was just crazy to me.
I thought the final season was fantastic. Every episode I really enjoyed. At first I was sad that it was only 4 episodes but seeing that it was around 2 hours an episode, if not more, made me realize that it's actually longer than any other season which each episode is around 1 hour. I really enjoyed playing the game. Clementine's character is amazing and seeing her go from this little girl to her growing up in the game and actually have to protect someone is crazy to me.
Whenever I see her in season 1, her skin is so smooth, her clothes are clean and has nothing on it (because of graphic reasons l'm sure) and right after seeing a clip of her in season 1 to season 4 where she has dirt and stuff on her face and clothes, it makes me realize that she actually had to grow up and know how to survive because in season 1 she had people to protect her so she didn't get her hands dirty, but in season 4 she's the one protecting.
Would love to hear what you have to say and your thoughts and experiences.
My biggest frustration with this series is not just how meaningless the choices are, but how the poorly the shoehorned choices affect the quality of writing, especially around Season 2.
I both kind of love & really hate Season 2, Kenny does not feel like the same character in Season 1, Luke is the one shining character besides Clementine that works very well, everybody else is incredibly inconsistent, Carver is one of the most overrated fucking villains who has a great vocal performance by Michael Madsen but the dumbest decisions that deflate his intimidating presence, seriously Carver is hate-able but not the way the writers intended, he is so badly written I hate the character itself.
I mostly love & kind of hate Season 1, Kenny flip flops hard where he outright abandons saving Clementine if you didn’t agree with every single micro choice you can give him, The Stranger is a good idea but his execution sucks so much & he ultimately becomes forgettable.
I’m gonna be straight on this, the series would have been better if it was a linear Walking Simulator.
I’d rather have no choice than be constantly teased.
And the poor choice system affects the quality of the writing that becomes inconsistent & chaotic due to the poorly crafted web of choices.
It would have been better if all concentration was put into a hyper focused & solid storyline.
Even moreso, I think it shouldn’t have a game series at all.
Really think about it, would the story be all that different if you just took every cutscene & edited it all together, and advertised it as “The Walking Dead: Animated Series”, a Mini-Series with 1 hour long episodes.
I think it would have been as well received as something like Castlevania on Netflix, but now were left with a bitter taste of 7/10 Season 1 & 6/10 Season 2 that have great potential, but are let down with a sea of poor writing among a small cluster of great writing.
I bought it on steam have restarted reinstalled checked folders verified the game files comptability settings to windows 8 or 7,ran it as administratior damn near hundreds of times doesn't seem to work any of it....It opens a black screen a shuttering or shuffling sound is heard snd closes in itself the damn game isn't opening....did I waste my money? What do I do? Please somebody help I have damn near scoured through countless reddit and steam foruns none of it is working please help me
Looking back on it, the first 2 were kinda ass, I mean they had a great story sure but your choices had no real impact for a game that 'changes based on your choices'. Sure you can save doug or carley in the 1st but no matter what they'll always die. Bigger then that your choice doesn't change Larry, lily never stays, saving ben doesn't do much either, and katjaa will always kill herself with duck, your choices do nothing basically. The season 1 group always ends the same, and 2 one is worse, you go with Pete and nick lives and Pete dies, go with Nick and nick still lives and Pete still dies. It doesn't matter if you save Sarah, she'll still always die. Doesn't matter with anybody, because it'll always end with kenny vs Jane. The only real change comes in 3, where the people who live at the end adjust like 4, where those are the only real two seasons where your choices truly affect the seasons.
I mean same but I’m curious what your guys’ reasons are? Personally I think I did because I saw all my favorite YouTubers also save Carly lol
This is why Violet was mad. She wasn’t invited to the party 😡
But seriously, am I the only one who finds this funny? Who thinks of partying when there’s villains to deal with? 😂
Well, enjoy my 3rd animated meme. I’m still open to ideas!
Does anyone know of any youtuber who completely chooses Louis as Clem's love interest? I've only seen ones where they choose no one or choose Vi completely. I wanna see more of my boy.
on god this is real
I know that the Michonne game is meant to tell what Michonne did during a time in the comics in which she left Rick's group, but I'm following Clem's story... I just finished season 2 yesterday, and tried to start playing Michonne but got instantly bored.
So, I was wondering if any decisions in Michonne have an impact on TWD Seasons 3 and 4.
I don’t think Luke should have died at all in my opinion, asides from the optional death of Kenny or Luke that was planned during the fight, but out of the 2 options for Luke’s death, (either covering him or going to help him) am I the only one who feels like going to help him feels more natural than covering him? Let me know your thoughts!
