You know, what Yahtzee says normally goes in one ear and out the other but sometimes what he says really grips me by the balls. "It took four or five chops" is very much one of those scenarios.
Zero Punctuation: Walking Dead

Part of my long-term survival plan is too rebuild society. I am even planing on building a library 25 years into the apocalypse, sooner if the political and military situation permits.
I am working on a short-term (1-5 years post) mid-term (6-15 years post) and long-term (16+ years post).
So ya, I would enjoy a Zombie game where I got too rebuild society.

I saved the man over the child in the first one. A grown man that has been shown to be handy with tools and mechanics, is of far more use than a child.

No Strong Bad's Cool Games For Attractive People? For Shame ZP!
OT: I might want to play the game, but I don't get a lot of money to Steam, so I might not. Who knows...

I completely agree. The characters in this game that force you to make choices really only want a yesman. They make it like they just want you at their back, but fuck 'em. Disagree once, especially in an instance where their side is really fucking inhuman, and they act like you've betrayed them.
Other than that, the game is quite good, but it does hamper the fun when you realize in the long term that your choices don't matter in the end:
The game has different multiple endings depending on your choices, one of which is writing up a new constitution and creating a new government. Another is actually finding a cure to the outbreak. Getting one ending doesn't ever end the game, so you can potentially get all of them.
Enjoy.

Save the kid or the guy from walkers? Doesn't matter. The guy dies no matter what, and the kid's dad just grabs him like nothing.
Save the guy by chopping his leg off or let him die? Dies from blood loss anyway.
Try to resuscitate a man who's heart has stopped or crush his head with a brick before he dies and comes back as a walker? Your buddy does the dirty deed while your doing CPR, so whether he was going to die or not is irrelevant.
The only game changing choice was made when you had to save one of two characters, and this time whoever you choose is the one to live and the other dies. From then on, that character has your back, which was pretty awesome in a lot of tough spots in the second episode.

Um.. it was amazing? The peak of gaming history by a mile. I thought everyone knew that.trollpwner said:
The reason Yahtzee doesn't care about playing episode 3 of the Walking Dead is the same reason I don't read the comics anymore, nor follow the show at all.
Everyone is fucked, in the past, present and future tenses of the word and once I realized that, all interest in the story left for me. There is nothing new to say here and I have plenty of examples of how things go to shit. So meh.

We didn't see that kind of good genuinely hilarious comedy in games again until Portal came out five years ago.
It was a damn good time full of damn good games.
And this kiddies is the crux of modern game design, you are watching a movie you have to frequently unpause...
I know what you mean as soon as I followed them back to their property in the beginning I was likeWaaghpowa said:

Knowing the series from its comic origins, and knowing the writer who hates endings like what yahtzee used as examples. All of them(show,comic, game) are most likely going to end with everyone dead and as the last person you know dies it will be extreamly heart wrenching. Then you leave the series loving or hateing it almost on that final moment alone because it was so dramatic.
