I took Lilly with us. I was really super pissed but I couldnt leave her to be eaten or whatever. I know what you mean though about the safety. Wasnt sure.

How far have you got?

[darkly]

Just finished episode 3. Pretty intense and good. So far I haven't been disappointed with any of the episodes.

So is Lilly still with you? It wasn't easy leaving her but she flat out killed Carley. I felt I had to do it. But I have to admit I'm still not sure if it was the right thing to do. The Duck thing was really sad. I may have gotten something in my eye there for a moment

I did ya. It was extremely sad. Did you say you would shoot him? I did. But wow, it was a sad moment. Not many games makes me feel such strong emotions for characters as this game. What I didnt get was Khatja (sp?) killing herself. It was really a selfish thing to do. She knows how heartbroken her husband is, and how much he is in denial about his son. So she blows her head off in front of him?? Does she not consider how that would make Kenny feel losing Duck and his wife like that at the same time. Awful

ooohh and I almost forgot. That bit where Lee is dreaming and Clem is a zombie! OMFG I was straight out panicking and in stunned disbelief when that was happening. I was about to burst into tears myself! haha. Carley, Duck and now clem! gone!!! Luckily he then woke up

I've played the demo and thought it was ok. Would I need to know the comic/tv series to get extra enjoyment out of it?

[Matt]

Not really, it's based off the comic rather then the tv show and I've never read the comics, though I love the tv show.
It's pretty much all original characters and starts from the outbreak.

It's an amazing game. Very story driven. I've played Back to the future and Sam and max but this is telltales best game by a mile IMO. Like I said my game of the year.

Only criticism I have is the release schedules.

Yes I said I would shoot him too. Katjaa thing was pretty sad, I guess she didn't want to go on without her son but I agree she should have thought about Kenny. Maybe she just lost all hope, kind of like the girl Glenn wanted to save in episode 1. He mentioned something about things like that going to happen again due to more people loosing hope in this new world. Although that girl was dying anyway.
And that dream about Clem! I couldn't belive she was dead too! She was definitely the scariest zombie as well. Made me both angry and scared for a sec there haha, I was all like "nooo! not her too!"

[Matt]

Hehe, I certainly look forward to Episode 4 for sure!
Do you watch the tv show?

[Yukupo]

I just started watching the TV show so this sounds like something I'd be interested in! I loved their Back to the Future games.

[Matt]

Nice, then youl love the walking dead game for sure.

[darkly]

I can't wait for episode 4 either . When is it suppose to come out?
Yes I watch the tv show too, I love it!
I couldn't belive my luck when I found this game, it was shortly after I finished Dear Esther for the second time and I was still pretty excited about it and a little sad to as I didn't expect to find something quite like it for a while. This game isn't exactly like it but they have the story focus in common and they are both great stories and games that'll stay with you for a while.

I love reading the statistics, always interesting to see what other people did btw.

[Matt]

I expect Telltale will say it is due out late this month, no doubt thatl really mean late October.

I like the statistics too, I was surprised by the last episode, my choices didnt go with the majority. Normally they do.l

I also love the tv show, the last half of series 2 kept me really really hooked. It just came alive after the first half which I found a little slow.
I cannot wait till series 3, which is sometime this autumn
I find myself in the odd situation of pretty much not liking any character though, lol. Only Glenn and Hershel I like. Daryl is ok too.

[darkly]

Glenn is definitely one of the most likable characters. Last episode sure ended pretty interesting, I can't wait to see where this show is going.

Nor can I wait for the next episode in this game! I wonder how it's going to end. Feels like it could go either way.

[Matt]

As long as its not to depressing.
But im fearing it may well be

[Matt]

So the new episode is out
I havent yet completed it but enjoying it as always. Not as heavy as the last episode so far thats for sure. But again, a whole lot of fun.

The new series of The Walking Dead is on later in America Not here in the uk til next week, but il find a way to watch it tomorrow.
