1985FM gave Telltale's point-and-click adventure game of the year for 2012. As critically acclaimed as The Walking Dead is, many claim its not much of a "game". Randy goes into finer detail on this and other reasons why The Walking Dead is so revolutionary and important to games.
You know, I really enjoyed this game...for what it was; but all this overpraise is ruining it for me.
It was a pretty good story told in a classic adventure game sort of way and it was a fun 5-6 hour experience. It wasn't a great game, it wasn't a very memorable game, and it is hardly "important" for the industry.
Diversity is important for the industry, originality (Which walking dead is not) is important for the industry, risk-taking is important for the industry. This is just a fun, reasonably priced experience that a lot of people will enjoy.
I very much enjoyed The Walking Dead game but I think its stupid how its getting praised so much because I have been playing games just like it since I was young, point and click adventure games have been around forever and just now people are like, this game is so great and original,lol
Awesome that one of my favorite types of games is coming back but so silly that so many people think its a new thing. It is a great game nothing against the game just the blind people who never cared until now.
