the demo didnt really do it justice, probably the best game i have played all year, looking forward to the last chapter

Have fun :).  And yeah you should watch the show and read the comics =p.

This man is wrong. Games today are more story focused than they ever was. The problem of modern games is not bad story telling, it's that there are too much of it, and too little focus on solid gameplay.

I do agree that most games benefit from a story, and obviously a strong story is better than a bad story.

But games in the mid 90's had weak story and presentation. Just compare the story presentation of the original Tomb Raider to the upcoming Tomb Raider in 2013 or to Uncharted.

Or compare the story presentation of games like Duke Nukem and Doom to games like Modern Warfare and Bioshock.

In the past the story was something subtle you had to actively pay attention to while today developers make sure the story is forced upon you like a Hollywood movie.

It's night and day.

Dammit, stop hyping up obscure games already. I don't have time to even finish a fraction of my backlog and you keep praising all these Deadly Premonitions, Of Orcs and Mens and Walking Deads. I feel like I'm missing out on so much.

I do like a narrative driven games. Also games with good story usually have a good pacing. Looking forward to picking this up during steam winter sale.

Did you buy Tokyo Jungle yet? Oh, and check out Retro City Rampage when you get a chance!

Haha.

(Yes, I already wasted 10 bucks on Tokyo Jungle and I'm about to go check out PSN in just a moment.)

Excellent...

And with Walking Dead, you can easily get through the first four episodes in one (long) sitting. So it won't hold you up on your backlog (that's probably like mine and will never, ever be cleared anyway) too much.

I can dimly remember a time when gameplay drove games...not story.

Ah well, it was a fun ride.

Why can't we have both.
