Recently, GoozerNation named The Walking Dead our Game of the Year. But then one of our contributors decided to prove us wrong... " When it comes to GOTY I expect an entire encompassing experience – graphics, sound, gameplay, and story. For me, the game only did half that. Now before you grab your pitchforks and torches, let me explain myself."
This is the realist you’ll ever see us. Come hang out and talk Telltale with us. We wanna know your thoughts! Leave us comments!
Talking Telltale is a weekly Podcast/Videocast. Coming soon to iTunes!
Before the announcement that a heavily narrative focussed Walking Dead video game was announced in 2012, Telltale games was a development studio that not particularly well known. Despite putting out other similar properties with Back to the Future: The Game and Jurassic Park: The Game, the products were largely met with a very mixed and ultimately tepid response from the public. The rampant acclaim and runaway success reached with The Walking Dead launched the developer into one of the most anticipated and favourable studios out there with one revolutionary product.
I think the walking dead story telling is amazing. I really love the games and think that they bring the respect of gaming story telling up in the world of entertainment in general :)
A reflection on the business perspective of Telltale Games.
No, next question.
I think if it did. Then why is everyone talking about Farcry 3? That was a blast to play!!!! So much adventure! Great open world! So real and life like.
It does deserve it but I believe there are games in 2012 that deserved it more. Far Cry 3 for example and Journey.
Yes! I bought Far Cry 3 and The Walking Dead for myself during Christmas (among other things). I find myself playing Walking Dead because it is something different. I own and beat both Far Cry games, which were good. It is just Walking Dead is genre I haven't played in a long time since The Dig, Full Throttle and Gaberial Knight, the story is just very good.
i loved TWD , journey and far cry 3
those 3 games are my best games in 2012
TWD deserves GOTY because it taught gaming that you don't have to have shitty writing, or awful developed characters in a video game!!
