The Wolf Among Us (2013, Telltale game based on "Fables")

Looks like they are keeping the "choices have consequences" system from The Walking Dead.

Can't wait!

Is this based on a specific run in the comic, or a new story set within the Fables universe? I've read some of Fables but don't want to play this if there are spoilers.

It's my understanding that it's like The Walking Dead...it's set in the same universe as the comic, but the story doesn't overlap existing plot points.

Okay, awesome. I wasn't sure since the lead character is one of the main characters in the comic book.

Well if the main character of the game is Bigby Wolf, he's a lead character in the comic book series. But I recall reading that this would be a prequel as to how he got his position in the town.

I wonder if this would be worth it if I never read Fables. Been meaning to read that though.

Hell yeah. Finally something that can tear me away from GTA for a little while.

I can't decide if I want to get this for my PC or for the PSN.

Any word on a PS4 or Xbox One version of this? I'm just so over the current gen consoles at this point...

I don't think the graphics would look any better on next-gen consoles.

It's not graphics I'm worried about. I just don't want to keep buying content for consoles that aren't going to be in my primary gaming location.

Like with TWD and BTTF:TG, I'm getting this on PC.

I bought TWD on the PC and ended up having to get it on the 360 because it was so buggy.

I had zero glitches on TWD on PC. I also liked that it gave me the option of using my 360 controller. I wish they had included that option in BTTF:TG.

First time I've seen this criticism of the game...usually it's the opposite.

I remember there being all kinds of issues, but maybe it was my hardware that was the problem.

I heard of save issues. It was fine on PC for me though.

I was a huge fan of the comics up to a point, stopped reading around 112 or so. But I'm in for this.

Re: The Wolf Among Us (2013, Telltale game based on "Fables")

I am really curious about this game and would love to play it on my PC... but it is older.

Is there any place online where I can check my specs to see what would run well and what won't? For instance the Sims 3 runs fine but freaking FTL is unplayable due to choppiness.

And I am so PC clueless anymore I don't even know where to look.

I went ahead and ordered it for PC, as I've got an updated computer since The Walking Dead came out.
