I was joking...

 

But you're wrong still. I don't know about the Wolf Among Us, my joke was simplly satirical. But the first two seasons of Walking Dead are atrocious. They're the definition of artificial choice. They affect who lives and dies, but the problem is that doesn't affect the actual game, it just affects which buddy you hang out with the longest. In theory simply saying "It affects who lives, dies or who gets maimed" sounds great, but in a video game there are so many things to factor and who lives or dies doesn't really change anything in the actual game. It's not real choice, it's the illusion of choice. Of course I haven't played those games in forever, but I did play both of those seasons twice, and they both had terrible decision making. Which is funny, because having the main character being a free little girl without custody should have made season 2 more open.

Ah, I haven't played any of the TellTale Walking Dead games.  I have Game of Thrones, The Wolf Among Us, Batman, and just recently started Guardians of the Galaxy.  Game of Thrones specifically, these are your family members that you are literally deciding the fates of.  And, you play as each of them throughout the episodes, so you do grow attached to them.  So, having to choose one or another escaping a certain situation unharmed affects you personally as well as the other characters in the game.

I guess that's fair and I honestly haven't got to those titles, I just feel like this is a fairly common occurence in TellTale Games games. There's been a lot of backlash from people who like choice based or point and click games about how the choices aren't really affecting the game. To me, which character lives or dies isn't as important as how that decision affects the game. But maybe you are right and it's different in Game of Thrones, I can only guess. Maybe if you ever replay it do different decisions and see if the gamme changes. Although I'm sure there's a chart of decisions somewhere on the internet xD
