Played about an hour last night before bed and I'll tuck into some more tonight. It's really awesome so far. It's got some real style and flair to it.
Yeah, dafuq?

The showdown
between b.wolf and grendel was pretty awesome, didn't rip his arm off though since that's a little too much
If it makes you feel better, what he wrote isn't as much of a spoiler as you probably think it is.

Why would I want to be classy? I'm the Big Bad Wolf.
True way to play. Being a big bad wolf is more fun than meek little pup
Just finished it, my random thoughts below. No spoilers.
Never finished Walking Dead, so I went into this with some reservations. Never read the comics either. I also hate QTEs... (not sure exactly why I bought this lol)
Pros:
Colorful visuals and fitting music
Voice acting and writing is good.
World is interesting.
Cons:
Terrible menu (PC)
QTE fest
Overall a solid 8/10 and looking forward to the next episode.

As good. Too early to say if it's better, but the themes, story, setting are better than those in TWD.

The first episode of this > first episode of TWD. Who knows how the others will play out.
That's me sold then.
Would you say the puzzles are more challenging then those in TWD or more simplistic?
Since nobody answered your length question, each episode is 2-3 hours long. So when all episodes are out it'll be somewhere between 10-12 hours total. A lot of it is just piecing things together, at least in the first episode. If you want it to be slightly harder, go into options and turn off the thing that shows interactables in the environment.

About the same as TWD. That is to say, there are no real puzzles.
Bigby reminds me of Wolverine....with a more villianous history.

Windows 8, wireless 360 controller. Starting to sound like I just might not be able to play with this setup, even the dll fix avoids the crash but still doesn't get the game to recognize the controller. From a mod on their forums: "I can't guarantee a wireless controller will work with any of our games." -_-
I'll live with m/kb, but I really hate the way mouse control feels in this and TWD, feels much more natural with a controller.

Thanks, I had totally forgotten about that. It's been five years or so since I read the comics.

Just start playing this, loving the art style, the voice acting is really good and, gameplay wise, Telltale once again shows they're pretty much top of the class when it comes to non-games (or interactive movies, whatever you wanna call it).
That said, the premise of this game/setting comes across as totally dumb to me, can't quite get my head around it. I don't think I'm gonna enjoy it as much as TWD.

That's not really fair to Quantic Dream.
But yeah, TT are doing a fantastic job of late. Shame about what happened with Jurassic Park though...
Store doesn't update at all until Tuesday. Sigh, why did you release this on Friday? To torture me?!

yep. He's much smarter than Wolverine though. In the comics he's more like a cross between Batman (superior detective skills) and Wolverine (can be a savage at times). The first episode of this is great.

Wow at the ending. Holy shit.
I was telling to myself "please let it be Beauty let it be Beauty" but I knew they were gonna kill off Snow 
That kinda sucks, she was a decent character. Telltale certainly knows how to make players feel like shit, the Carley wound still hurts.

So can you just buy the individual episode or do you have to pay for the whole season?

Waiting for the whole season to come out to play it is so hard. I did it for The Walking Dead, but I don't think I can do it for this one.
Make the plunge. Playing it as the episodes come out is more fun anyway because you find yourself with more saves that allow you to see the content from all the different angles. It really is kind of addicting going through the episodes a second
and third

Yes. You can buy the individual episode.

Oh yeah! Forgot to mention the music was great. Reminded me of 80's John Carpenter at times and I was definitely getting the feeling this was pre-gentrified NY. Like late 80's or so.

Finished the episode and I love it. Everything about it.
I chose to rip the arm off and felt horrible afterwards. The crying really got to me. I'm going to replay it and choose to show sympathy next time.
It's better to get the season pass. You'll save yourself 5 bucks if you do.
Felt more 90's to me. Fables started in 2002 so who knows.

There's no option to just buy the first episode on PC, unfortunately.
You are remembering it correctly.

I have been a fan of the Fables comic since the beginning (although I stopped reading it around issue 60). It is amazing seeing these characters brought to life on the screen. Bufkin the flying monkey's voice is just perfect as is Colin the pig. Really great voice acting all around. I am also in love with the music.
Its got a darker vibe than the initial Fables issues but I love it. The Book of Fables bios bring back so many memories. This game has me wanting to get back into the comics - I miss these characters and I am sad I ever stopped following the book. Im going to pick up all the trade paperbacks I missed.

I think that's the one thing I really didn't like about the episode.
It was way too much like how Carley died, as soon as they suddenly made it clear she had the hots for Bigby in the taxi I knew how the episode was going to end. I actually ended up laughing at the climax because of how they tried to pull the exact same shit again. I think the whole thing would have worked much better if they changed that cab scene.
Loved the first episode. The art style and music is just excellent. Having not played TWD I'll pick that up too.
I have a feeling Faith or Snow aren't really dead or if they are, there's more to it like some magic that could possibly be undone. The magic mirror couldn't show us Faith but he did show us the dead kings remains.
My only concern with this is that it could take away the impact of these deaths.

Just beat it on pc. Game looks incredible in 1080p. I've never read the comics so this is a brand new story for me. Is it one episode per month?
The funny thing is (Comic and game spoilers)
She doesn't actually have the hots for Bigby at this point. If memory serves, she laughs at him the first time she realizes that he's attracted to her. She does eventually come around and they do actually eventually end up getting married and having kids, but it takes a good long while.
Oh, and she's alive in the comic, too.
