Too Close to Home: Why I'm giving up on The Walking Dead

Jason Imms isn't usually a big fan of scary movies or games, but he's become hooked on The Walking Dead -- or at least, he was until episode three broke him. Read on to find out why.

Episode 3 is the best 1 yet.

I haven't played Ep.3 yet. I've heard the decisions in it are the toughest yet. As if they were'nt tough in 1&2 LOL.This game is all about the tough choices it's amazing in that aspect.

I disagree about Episode 3 being the best.

As far as making the difficult decisions and new gameplay mechanics Episode 3 is the best. It was also very glitchy. I fell through the game floor when boarding the train and had to start over, The roof of the train blocked my view of everything in one section, Duck magically disappeared from the entier scene although he's still with his mom, and two other things happen but they involve spoilers. Not to mention I was pissed off that they give you all these choices throughout the game, but you couldn't save them no matter what.

IMO Episode 2 was the most enjoyable, although you couldn't save the amputee. The only thing wrong with that episode was they offer you the choice to take over the farm, but it's meaningless. As well as not taking the trip to the farm all together.

It's a great series though, and I recommend it to anyone who loved Heavy Rain, Indigo Prophecy, LA Noire, and looking forward to Beyond: Two Souls. It's $5 per episode (5 episodes = $25), and best of all if you're already a PS+ member you get the first 2 episodes free so it's total only comes to $15.

I loved Episode 3 so much. DAT MOMENT WHERE [SPOILERSPOILERSPOILER]

just.... shocked.... me....

seriously though. How could Telltale do that to me? I guess that's what made it a good episode though.

Something tells me that ___ will come back in one of the next episodes, most likely in the last one. I'm about to finish this episode, , one chapter to go.

[Kran]

No. ___ wont come back because of what happens in the comics.

[ABizzel1]

I was pissed off. I was restarting trying every option, and looking online to see if you could save them. I left ______ . I think they're going to come back and try to kill me in a later episode.

Ah. When he mentioned daughters, I now know what he meant.

Yeah. That part would be hard for any father to see.

Why the hell can't somebody code a spoiler tag for N4G baffles me...it cannot be that hard (I know there is a new site being done, it damn well better have spoiler tags, and hopefully a better voting system)

Story is good but the decisions dont really do anything.. so much for the game being tailored to how you play.
