You owe it to yourself to read books if you at all enjoy the show.
Tempted to buy this but i'll probably just wait for the bundle or a nice sale.

Ps4 store updated but it seems it's not up, what gives?
They were headed to Savannah, I think. And it was always Kenny's idea/goal.

I know what I'm doing after work!
1. Yeah, it does.
2.
I suppose that explains why they have no regard for the correct voice actors. I wonder why they go off The Walking Dead comics but The Game of Thrones TV show.
As for Ezekial, has he been subbed in by another character in the show or has he yet to be introduced? He looks pretty cool.
Came here to check lol,was looking for it on PSN,couldnt find it,everything else is updated...
Getting this and Soma and maybe Axiom Verge also
I bet it's due to licensing. Doesn't Activision have the license for the TV show?
Telltale made Walking Dead back when it was still doing comic book properties like Sam & Max, and Fables(Wolf Among Us) which was shortly after. They only got the GoT property to work on after they got successful.

I expect he'll be introduced next season.
He hasn't made his debut yet in the series.
The tv-series seems to follow the comics a bit more now, so at this point Ezekiel will make his debut next season.
Sweet. I guess I'll play this when Michonne separates from them next season.

Hmm...may wait to see the reception for the other 2 eps before committing. I didnt think S2 was that great myself either (nowhere near the level of S1)
Holding out hope for S3
It's up on the EU PSN at least. Has been since this afternoon.
Just finished it.
It has potential, I was worried at first after the ripoff that was 400 Days. Hope it does get better though, I was happy to see more free roaming options picking stuff up, but it was still a little too on rails like S2 was.
Anyone feel that the controls were a little too sensitive? On the PC version at least?

It took me a minute to use the damn binoculars to look over board to find the Ferry.

Probably be up a bit later. PSN updates don't always run like clockwork.

Telltale games almost instantly drop in price once all episodes are available. That seems like a bad plan.

I just finished this and thought it was quite good. At the very least Telltale has stepped their engine up, game looked good and didn't run into any performance issues. Big fan of the comics and I love MIchonne as a character - interested to see where this goes.
I felt the same thing. I was actually surprised when I got credits. Strange place to end it. I feel like it took me 2 hours at the most.
I died a lot in this too. Especially during the
3 button combo prompt
Hopefully the next episode comes out as scheduled.

...lacks reading comprehension.
The standard Telltale episode takes 60 to 90 minutes, not sure how that surprises anyone. Didn't die once, I felt the controls were much tighter than ever before and the button prompts lasted longer than in other TWD episodes. Graphics were surprisingly crisp, detailed texturing, improved animations and a sleek looking new UI. Love how the button prompts are now 3D and integrated into the scene.
The fight scenes were much more dynamic, I had a blast cutting through zombies. Story was ok, decisions and reactions were good, characters ok. I know Sam is going to be an annoyance but so what. Overall very good Telltale episode, great TWD episode, can't wait for the next.

Yes and it's stuttering way more than for example Borderlands, also the load times got longer towards the end which was weird (PC, SSD). It's almost like they used an even older version of the engine or something. Going from finishing LiS yesterday to this didn't help.
You know you didn't have to press them all at once but one after another? Tho I got confused at first and died one time too, the prompt could've been clearer.
The Borderlands eps were afair all over 2hrs long, as were the ones in TWS s1 and most of Wolf's. Worst was TWD s2 and I agree that this felt rushed, they should've added another 30-60 minutes to introduce the characters

If you played Tales from the Borderlands, they started using far more button prompts during combat in the later episodes, so I expect this to be something that they use going forward. IIRC in ep 5 of Tales there were 3-5 buttons/sticks for some moves during the last fight.

Um... so I'm kinda disappointed by this? And I was super excited for it. I think it took me around 1½ hours.
- - Spoilers? - -
But I didn't feel invested at all in the story... it was kinda boring and nothing exciting really happened? It had events and tense moments that led you to believe something scary or whatever is gonna happen and then nothing. The Sam character is beyond annoying and I can't stand her or looking at her.
There was not one single exciting or shocking thing that happened tbh... maybe cause the whole captured thing has been done a few times already. And most of the conversations bored me to death. Also the whole... "there's good and bad people in this world and we do what we gotta to do survive, can we trust this distressed signel it might be a trap..." like wtf?! It's been done... it's so boing now.

if this's really just 1.5 hrs long, i'm definitely waiting for all episodes to release before buying...

Got my first trophy at 4:34 and my last one at 5:44. Mind you I also, took a 10 or so minute break at one point. Think I died once at most... or maybe not even that.

Most episodes are 2+ hours for me so this one stood out as being really short.
I didn't notice anything different with the animations. They were still janky as hell. They really need to improve their engine big time. It just looks really awkward during conversations.
One thing I did like with this was the letter-boxing when you enter combat, that's a nice touch. The slow-mo decapitations were also really well done. The 3 button QTE threw me off and it was even weirder that she didn't get 3 kills after it. So what was the point except trying to get you killed?
Yeah I knew they had to be
pressed in sequence
It hasn't been mentioned here yet but I loved that opening theme. Hoping there is a longer version released as an mp3.
For those interested, here's a link:

Anyone with PS4 this is just stereo audio right? Have been tweaking my 5.1 audio system and this is the first game I've played since.

I'd say you are almost doing yourself a disservice by experience TWD through that awful show.
I still think that first season was fantastic. Since then it's been a slow decline.
I'm worried the games may suffer the same fate.

Yes I say wait for all episodes to be released.
I just finished episode 1, meh nothing special so far, I don`t think they will ever beat TWD season 1. Maybe they really should move on to new projects like they did with Tales of borderlands (which was amazing)
I was praying for a Kenny cameo on the
boats section, Imagine it, Kenny found a new boat and he is a pirate now, hell he even has an eye patch now

I enjoyed it quite a bit. Had nothing on the first episodes of Season 1 and 2, but it was still good. I like how Telltale manages to draw me into their stories with every game. Chopping zombies up was much more dramatic this time around, with black bars appearing during the action scenes, giving it a more cinematic look. Looking forward to the next episode. Hoping they don't get delayed.
Played it on the PC. Did anyone else experience odd stutters during movement? FRAPS showed 60 fps throughout, but it felt like the game hitched around a bit.

I liked it but probably my least favorite out of all the walking dead episodes. I give this a 6.5 or 7. I hope the next episode is more interesting.
Yeah, it stuttered around a lot for me too, and the frame rate on Steam never dropped except for a couple times to 59. I blame the engine Telltales still uses.

I finished the episode yesterday and i am very disappointed with the length.Only 1 hour and 30 minutes to finish the episode.I think it's the telltale most short episode i ever played.

Shortest episode award goes to that one Minecraft Story Mode episode that was 40-50 minutes long and caused huge outcry.
Finished it the day it came out. Was okay, didn't really have me crave for more though due to the same old TT formula being used (the games lose their magic after the first few titles... too predictable).

Decided to pick it up after allowing some Xbox credit to burn a digital hole in my wallet.
I'll try and time how long it takes to complete.

That one balances out if you count the other path that relies on a decision you chose in the previous episode.
Haven't finished this episode yet due to a bug where you sharpen the machete that wouldn't let me sharpen it causing me to have to start the whole sequence over.

Started it at 1:22 AM and just wrapped it at 2:39 AM
Cannot believe how short that was. Quality wise it a surprising bump, story content, however, was vastly lacking.
They're on a tight release schedule relative to their history, here's hoping not every episode is as thin as this.

I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case, game of thrones had much longer gaps between episodes.

I'll definitely be grabbing this when it's complete, I can't just play one episode and put it down for a month.
Every Telltale game has this character stutter, Walking Dead S1 was the worst for it but it was minimal in TFTBL and TWAU.

I found this incredibly disappointing. Feels like a rehash and a waste of Michonne.
