Man, I am glad other people have the same thoughts about this game as me. I don't understand why it's getting so many GOTY awards at all except that the walking dead is really popular. This game was way too overhyped IMO. Doesn't deserve more than a couple of passing GOTYs. I'd rather see them go to Journey. |
Actually, it was the game that made me watch The Walking Dead. I personally didn't care for either until Badgenome told me to play it. He didn't even hype it up. He just told me to try it. The game was so awesome, to me, that I went back and watched every episode of the show (which was also awesome!).
I really enjoyed the game Heavy Rain for the PS3 because I allowed myself to get into the story and forget that, despite ads saying the opposite, most of my choices really didn't matter. The same with The Walking Dead. Yeah, a $5 downloadable game (or a $30 disc) could only have so much content. Yeh, it's a video game so I guess the "game" part is more important but, to me, it just didn't matter. For five episodes, I was trying to survive in zombie infested Georgia (didn't hurt that I actually live in Georgia and I go to Savannah all of the time). It was more of a digital comic book but I don't care. It sucked me in more than any other title this year.....including Journey.
