What is the game play style of this game and how long is gameplay with all episodes together?

FPS, and about 1 hour total. Easy achievements though.

one hour total?!??! Wha?!?!?

I must really suck. Takes me 3-4 hours for each episode. So with 5 episodes all together, should take at least 15 hours.

What a lie! It's a Japanese RPG that takes at least 376 hours to complete.

Damn, that final episode felt VERY short.

I think the file size was big to account for all the possible paths, but yeah it was a short one.

Just wrapped it up. It did feel short, but was still awesome nonetheless. I really liked this game. My brother hasn't gotten it yet and I told him he should definitely pick up the retail version that's coming out. Although I do think waiting a couple months between each episode made it seem ever better than it already is. It's in my top 5 for games released this year and I hope there's more to come.

It's only $12.49 on Steam! :)

I'm fucking furious right now. I downloaded and played the first section of episode 5 earlier today. I just log back on to finish the episode and the game fucking reset. I can't play episode 5 because the only save file is now episode 1.

You probably shut off your Xbox while it was autosaving.

Re: The Walking Dead (Telltale Games)
 
A couple of hosts of a bi-weekly Xbox 360 podcast recently said they had similar problems with their save files. I doubt it's related to amateur hour and shutting off the console during a save.

I had a problem loading the new chapter today saying something about "if you rewind yada yada." and I exited back to the dashboard. After that everything worked fine.

Same thing happened to me. No save detected, so I rebooted and then it showed up. I was ready to rage.

And goddamn... Game of the Year. Hell, Game of this Gen.

I'm mildly amused that a zombie adventure game made such an impact.

love adventure games.

I've had the Mac version direct from Telltale since the pre-sale, but I've yet to start because I was waiting for the whole thing to be out.

Tonight I won Episodes 1-4 on XBLA from Twitter, so I'll probably just buy the 5th and play it there instead :lol:

It's easily the best narrative ever in a game.

Episode 5 was short, and it had more "that's not what I thought that dialogue option meant" moments than the previous episodes, but it was also the culmination of a very emotional story, and in that regard it was incredibly effective. It was also the first video game that actually made me cry. Taken as a whole, The Walking Dead is easily my GOTY. Unless I'm completely forgetting something, nothing else really comes close.

Episode 5 spoilers:
Spoiler:
Did Kenny survive in anyone's game? Ben fell while trying to jump from the fire escape, and Kenny stayed behind with him once it seemed that Ben was well and truly screwed. They seemed to keep it intentionally open ended, but I get the impression that Kenny doesn't survive.

Also, did everyone else get the same post-credits bit? Clem's in a field, and she sees two figures walking along a distant hill. I didn't know if that was supposed to be Omid and Christa, or just two walkers, or if it was intentionally vague.

Spoiler:
Different circumstances with Kenny in my game. He jumped in to the hole in the roof to rescue Christa, boosted her out, then disappeared into the shadows surrounded by walkers. They never specifically said he died, but the postmortem before the credits rolled seemed to imply so.

Same post credits bit for me.


And I cried like an infant.

Re: The Walking Dead (Telltale Games)
 
i dunno. i kinda liked the all too short demo and wanted to see where it went, but wasn't keen on all the quicktime events or whatever they were when you pan over the dot and press a key.

is the whole game like that?

i didn't hate it and perhaps if demo lasted longer i would have liked it more, so debating to get the whole set on 12/4. seems like the emotional payoff is well worth it though, but i think i like to have more control over characters.

Have you played any of their other games? Jurassic Park, or the Sam and Max games. It has a very similar control scheme.

I'd still recommend this game for story alone.

^This is the only kind of game that Telltale Games makes. It's like an old school point and click adventure game (Maniac Mansion, Monkey Island, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, etc., if you've ever played any of those).
