Since the "What games are you playing" thread is all Walking Dead discussion, I figured I'd make a separate thread for it. I'm sure there are people in that thread that don't play.

I also would like to be able to openly discuss the game without spoiler tags all the time. I didn't post any spoilers yet though, not until I get the okay from you guys

How good was Episode 2?!

[M.C]

Episode 2 was great. I am in love with this series.

This game is doing what I feel Mass Effect tried and failed at, giving me characters that I really feel connected with, either with hate or love, while providing me both small and large choices that range from easy to difficult, all in a short time period so there's a "panic" and real sensation of "damn I hope this works out".

I thought Episode 2 is the best game I've played all year, and that's including Diablo 3/Mass Effect 3. I realize that sounds crazy, and I love Diablo, but this simple, short, cheap game has my attention more than anything else at the moment, and I'm honestly looking forward to episode 3 more than I am Dishonored or Darksiders 2.

Certainly my favourite game in a long time as well. I can't even remember the last time I've been so emotionally connected to characters in a video game.

Telltale did a great job with the gore as well, it shows the reality of how twisted the world would actually be had there ever been a zombie outbreak.

[M.C]

Yeah I agree.

It's not gory to be gory, like 80% of the episodes are calm, relaxed, but when you need to chop someone's leg off to save them, that's brutal, and because the gore is so limited/not a major factor of the game, it makes me cringe more than most if not all other games.

Another thing I really like is the relationship between Lee/Clem. I really thought I wouldn't care about her too much, but like I specifically didn't kill the two brothers cause I didn't want to upset her - that right there is great characters/game design.

What happens to the first messed up brother you have to decide about if you don't kill him? I know the 2nd one gets eaten if you don't but I pitchforked the first guy who just shot me in the face before the scene rebooted and thought he kinda had it coming.

[M.C]

He gets his leg trapped and stays there, you can assume the zombies got him as well.

Stoked they announced a 2nd season to the game. So far the writing and the game experience has been wonderful.

[HitOrGetHit]

I just got done with episode 2. This game is awesome.

Damn, I wish I would have pitchforked his face too, I kinda screwed up and clicked the hay. Either way, he died so whatever. I shot the second bastard though.

[HitOrGetHit]

I pitchforked him but Clementine got kind of weird about it once I killed him. The second guy I just left to get eaten after I kicked the crap out of him.
