The Walking Dead Game - The End

Ok this is going to be a post about the ending of the game and stuff so look away now.

SPOILERS

The  Walking Dead

So by now Kenny has lost his wife and son who I'll be honest... not the best characters anyway also Lilly fucked off with the RV in my version because I was too nice to leave her to die like I should have. I guess she was pissed that me and Kenny jumped at the chance to kill that shitty old fucker she called Dad.

Man that was a good moment. Anyway so you make it into town with the help of angry motherly character Christa and short stack well needed comedy guy Omid.

Oh and Charles the homeless guy but sadly he lasts all of five minutes as he dies trying to save Clem who Ben,t he massive useless fucking douchebag that is Ben just runs and leaves her to get noshed on.

So anyway the ending is Lee gets bit, I choose to show everyone my bite and they all helped as much as they could, oh and I also gave my Lee the Rick treatment and had his arm removed.. I honestly thought 'hey they save someone in the comic and the show like that!' but no.. didn't work.

As a game The Walking Dead doesn't have alot of game play to offer, alot of the time I found myself so sucked into watching the story and sometimes clicking buttons to pick what Lee says that when it comes to SMASH THE FUCKING A BUTTON TO WIN I forget it's NOT a movie and it is a game that requires I do something from time to time. If you like a game full of action, this isn't for you but if you prefer something that's heavy on story then this is amazing.

So as the ending draws you have a choice when Ben gets knocked back and Lee has to pull him up or let him drop.. I could not fucking let him drop fast enough,I always thought he was a shit and annoying buthole.. he got Carly shot in the face, left Clem to get killed, also was at fault for Kenny losing his wife and child.. and when Kenny was like 'Do what you need to' I was more then 'RIGHT AWAY BESTEST BEST FRIEND' it was not a hard choice for me.

This kind of game shows you the kind of person you are in a crises.. and I am a heartless asshole. I also tried to save Shaun not Duck at the start, pfft.. kids.

So in the end Ben gets dropped, Kenny vanishes trying to save Christa and you are left alone to find Clem who you do save.

And oh god.. when your alone with her and turning into a zombie regardless of cutting your arm off... I have never sobbed so much at a game, it was intense and gripping, you have been with Lee and Clem all the way and everything I did in the game was for the sake of Clem, I always tried to do right by her and the bond they had was.. excuse me for sounding like a wussy baby.. really beautiful and touching.

The whole scene and the dialogue between the two characters feels so heart felt and gripping that it honestly broke me heart watching it. I picked for Clem to shoot Lee to stop from seeing him turn. Oh god, so many manly tears. My partner also had a cry so it wasn't just me being a massive wussy..

It was made even sadder by the fact there was some sad chick song at the end which just added to it.. and then the ending seeing Clem all alone... baaaaw.

Clem seeing her folks as zombies then having to shoot or see the one person she had left in the world turn into a zombie... really pulled at the heart strings. I'm a fan of the comic and the show but this game has raised the plot and story bar SO FUCKING HIGH that the other two media forms need to pull their acts together.

Also the ending where Clem see's two people in the distance? totes going to be the start of the next game I recon.

So cast break down..

Lee

 Is a pretty awesome guy and a great character to play as, not to mention he has hella smooth voice. Such a great stand in father for Clem.

Clem

I honestly thought as she was a kid she would be the most annoying person in the game but she's this adorable, lovely and brave little girl.

Doug

Some fat guy you don't pick cus it's him or a hot chick with a gun. 

Duck

Ok this is the most annoying person.. though he's not too bad and it's sad what happens to him.. Also don't feel too bad, he dies and comes back as Sid from Toy Story..

Glenn

Oh hey that guy from the show and comic who's pretty much 'Hi this is my cameo... bye!'

Hershal

Pretty much the same as Glenn and well.. a meany doodoo head.

Kenny

Redneck soon to be bestest best friend forever. I wish my ending with him had been a littler gayer better then it had been, but I guess punching him in the train wasn't the right way to cement the best of friendships.. I liked him all the way through tho.

Larry

That massive cunthole that no one hesitated to kill off. I hated him but I think that was the point.

Lilly

Cuntholes angry always PMSing daughter who could benefit from a good dicking.

Shaun

Yeah.. that guy

Carly

I liked her, she was a good strong non massive vagina rage monster female. I was hoping to bonk her but fucking Ben got her face blown off.

Kat

No impression on her what so ever other then her accent would change about a hundred times and sometimes altogether vanish.

Marc

Who the? where did he com- oh doesn't matter he's food now anyway.

Christa

I thought she was another rage monster women when we first meet her but she's a pretty kick ass female char in the end and I totally wanted her and Omid to have Clem.

Ben

What a useless bellend.. if ever a character I wanted to get rid of.. was so useless and lanky and stupid and useless and... yeah I had no moments hesitance to drop that fucker into the all you can eat zombie buffet.

Molly

I didn't like her or any of the Vernon's lot.. found them boring and she was just....eh....

Omid

I liked Omid and wish there had been more of him as he was a nice light hearted dash of comedy here and there but he didn't seem goofy or shoe horned in.

The Stranger

Who I'm convinced was just William Defoe in video game form..

Also sorry to chuck about a thousand images at you but I don't think it's just a coincidence that the achievements look alike..

L4D vs Walking Dead achievements..

 The games final marks from me

Plot: 4.5/5

Pacing: 4/5

Cast: 4.5/5

AMC The Walking Dead FACEBOOK Game

So as many people have done in the past and present when bored and sick of looking at the same friend spam their facebook 20 times about their every movement or having to read that one friend who only talks about their freaking kids we've all been known to play one or two Facebook games.. while playing LOST BUBBLE I notice an advert at the side for a Walking Dead FB game so I jumped right on that.

 

I like the art style... how ugly it makes Shane which is true to the show to be honest haha.

 

You get to make your own character which is pretty neat, it's better then most FB games where you have very limited choice.. but saying that I think I had about 7 choices for tops, pants, shoes and like 5 for heads? By the way I look nothing like this I just felt this looked the least crap.

 

Also FB kept freezing and I had to keep resetting and making my char like 5 times before it got on with it.

 

Shane and his nose give you a step by step on how the game is played. Your health can be regenerated by giving up your stamina points, 10 a go in fact which is alot when once you've used up all your free shit for starting the game you can only move 28 times.

 

 

Ok now the super awesome fun missions. Most the time they just ask you to kill a few walkers, grab bags of food and water and every single time you risk your life for these assholes they just reply with something crappy like 'OH GUESS THAT'LL DO IT'S NOT ALOT THOUGH' fine do it your fucking self.

 

 

This is cool and I do like games which do it and that is you can level up your guy. You get 10 to start with and then after every mission you get another point to add. Each time you level up a skill the three empty slots become four.. then five.. so it gets harder and harder to upgrade.

 

Also after missions you get money to buy things and upgrade weapons... which can break FYI but like your stamina if you ignore the game and come back to it at the end of the day everything will be back and fixed.

 

 

You can also kill your friends which is abit..... um... not sure how I felt about that to be honest.

 

 

Oh and whats a kicker is in typical FB fashion you have to pay real money if you wanna play the game longer after you have run of of your daily bits and pieces and the free shit they pump you with for joining.

 

 

Every mission is very same-same and you realise that almost right away and to kill zombies you have to wait for a red cross hair to be in the right place and smack them around the head. If fighting isn't your idea of fun you can hide and sneak around them but as easy as it is to kill a zombie might as well do it, extra points.

 

So the game is ok, it passes like.. five minutes... it's easy as anything but least well madeish for an FB game.

 

Gore: 1/5

Scares: 0/5

Plot: 0/5

Overall enjoyment: 1/5

The Walking Dead Game - Game Play & More

Well the other day I decided to have a go at The Walking Dead game and I know I smack talked it when I first saw bits and pieces about it here and there but damn, it shut me up. It's freaking awesome.

So here we go with the review and some insight into what you will be getting in the game.

They are in 5 parts at 400 points a piece and I think they are going to come out every month. And hey they aren't VALVE so they should be good on their word!

Ok so set up, I do suggest you put on the subs as sometimes it can be a little awkward to hear what people are saying so it'll help.

There are two ways to play, STANDARD which gives you hints and points out things in the background for you and MINIMAL where it's pretty much all up to you. My first time around I picked STANDARD as I am no gaming master.

If you have no interest in the game but are an achievement whore this game is freakin' good for that. Each one is worth 25 a pop [if I recall] and you get them all just by playing the game which is very easy but also... where's the challenge and the creativity?

The art work is so pretty and amazing I just want to stare at it all day. It's cell shaded and looks alot like the comic book come to life which is really nice to see and also a nifty touch, makes it very stylish and very much part of The Walking Dead franchise. It's flawless looking.

Our main guy is a fello called Lee who is on his way to prison and is looking rather glum about it. Lee is a decide person to play as, he's likable, animated and also has one hell of a smooth Barry White style voice. He's a very likable character cus nothing is worse then playing someone who you can't stand..

The Walking Dead is a very different game to most zombie related and horror survival games out there. If you have every played Project Indigo / Fahrenheit you will be similer with this sort of game play. You interact with the other characters by picking a reply to them, you often have four choices and a limited time to make your reply.

Deepening on what you say sometimes means another character's actions will be different to you in the near future or much further down the line so every action has either a positive or negative effect on you and how you will be treated in the future.

If you take too long to make your choice it just picks one for you.

The hints are very good for a first time player or someone new to gaming as a whole.

More examples of awesome art used.

Your world in the game is very small and you can only look at things the game wants you to look at, you have pretty much zero freedom to move about and see other things, very much a set piece but not every game has to be a sand box.

Next big part of the game play is this adventure sort of tool where you have options to talk to someone, look at something, interact with something so that's pretty neat and also makes the game so much different from your normal horror games, it's refreshing.

Combat! it's EVERYONES FAVOURITE.... QUICK TIME EVENTS!!! mash buttons to not die, ah who couldn't love it? yes the combat is quick time event based but for the most part you have a fair bit of time to do something I think I only died in the game twice.

So yes, quick time and in some cases you need to grab something quick and then aim with your right stick at the target you want to hit and press the right button to attack, but it's well timed and no need to panic about it.

You also have tough calls to make during the game, again these choices will determin what happens to you in the future. You really need to play this game a fair few times to get all the story out of it which makes the replay value much better then games like L4D or DEAD RISING you can keep playing and see what outcomes you get.

I knew it would be one big escort mission but since the game has such a simple path the AI at least can't get in trouble or walk off and get munched on by zombies and this girl? she's really sweet and adorable, nothing worse then having an annoying fuck chained to you.

You will meet cannon cast from the show/comic and you will meet people new to the franchise. There will be people you like, doubt fancy and hate! But this is one zombie AND adventure game with a twist.

Also due to the set nature of this game.. no shitty cam angles! Hey SONIC TEAM, please take note.

Gore: 5/5

Charter enjoyment: 5/5

Art style: 5/5

Game play: 4/5

World: 4/5

Overall enjoyment. 4.5/5
