Yup. Been playing it quite a bit lately.


MrBobz

That's my Tribes name. Add me! Won't be home till later tonight but i'll be online to play!

Double XP weekend going on right now too, good time to start playing. If you like it I'd recommend buying one item in game, then you'll get a 50 percent XP boost that is attached to your account for as long as you play the game. Makes it easier to get XP to unlock things in game.

Yeah its very cool. And unlike Starhawk, there are tons of servers populated with players. FMT, I'll accept my free copy of Madden 13!

On a slightly different note, sounds like there is going to be another Killing Floor event this summer. When it goes dirt cheap on Steam you guys should pick it up. I'd love to be able to play this game with more people.

God, to think FMT is paying for bobby to be in this league when we could've had a real fan like AirBrian as the Bears

Has anyone other than Ferny played the Walking Dead episodic games? I don't like this style of game but I'm really into it. It's probably cause I'm starving for more zombies since I just powered through all the comics, it's constantly got me at the edge of my seat.

Yeah, I finished Episode 2 today. The first two episodes have been really good, obvious plot twist in episode 2 withstanding. The intensity in the experience is great. Especially for an adventure game where you wouldn't think it could be intense.

Love the series but the wait between episodes is terrible. Need to find more games like it. MASQ is the only similar game I've played.

I bought the first two episodes shortly after the second was released. I just finished episode 1 yesterday and thought it was very good. It's good to see some actually mature writing in a video game for once.

I'm kind of pacing myself and haven't started episode 2 yet even though I would like to, just because it does seem like the wait between releases is so long.

I think the time between 1 and 2 was unusually long. Episode 3 should be out in 1 month not 2. I was surprised that the game actually got me to care about Clementine.

Yeah The Walking Dead has been awesome. I bought the season when episode 1 came out though and it took forever for episode 2 to release. Now I just read that episode 3 will be out mid august! I never bought one of their seasons before it was complete so I didn't know it took them this long. Kind of disappointing

Just read about that. So fucking disappointed.

In happier news, I got a new avatar. :D

Episode 2 was awesome. I feel like even if you saw the twist it only made the experience better. I can't wait till ep 3!

I'm 3/5 of the way through episode 2 and have no desire to keep playing. I loved episode 1 but the writing and story in this episode are so damn terrible and bog standard that I just don't give a shit.I hate adventure games where you know exactly what is going to happen every step of the way and you can't do a damn thing to change the outcomes.

There are very few games where I am genuinely surprised at the story or that actually let you affect the storyline. As soon as I saw the farm I knew it was going to be about
cannibals
but it was still handled extremely well in terms of how these specific characters react in that very generic situation.

Edit: Anyone else watching EVO this weekend? I'm glad my boss won't be in today so I'll be free to be stream monster all day.

As soon as I saw the episode title I knew it. My problem isn't the story, it's that its written so lazily. It's so damn generic. I wonder if the lack of originality/creativity is a result of the production schedule?

:( Thanks buddy.

Trust me, you would've figured it out well before the reveal.

Oh shit. Just woke up and wasn't even thinking about that. Don't know if it helps any but you would probably tell that's going to happen minutes into the game.

Actually, I recognized the characters from the comic book during the preview so it's not a huge shocker. :p

The episodes are short if part 1 is any indication, so I can't buy the production schedule as a reason for the short coming of the story.

I blame Whitta for the delay but most people seem to really enjoy episode 2. Ignore ez, it's just eznark being eznark. ;)

It's time for Evo: http://evo2012.s3.amazonaws.com/live/index.html Let's go Daigo and Tokido!

But yes it is just me being me.

If you are normally ok with the God awful, rote, cliched story telling of video games and have no interest in critical thinking and no problems with logical fallacies or brain dead characters (like most gamers) then you will love the story in episode 2.
