TTG's Walking Dead has absolutely nothing to do with AMC's TV show (which has its own game based off of it, of the same title, which is equally shitty). TTG's Walking Dead is based on the original comic book, and it is a good proper video game with excellent plot and characterization.Captain Mazda wrote:Walking Dead was awesome, unlike the shitty TV show.
Actually, TTG's Walking Dead has little to do with the comic book either. The characters, settings and events portrayed in the game were all made up specifically for the game. In that sense, the TV show has more to do with the comic because it features roughly the same characters.obsidian wrote:TTG's Walking Dead has absolutely nothing to do with AMC's TV show (which has its own game based off of it, of the same title, which is equally shitty).

well ok smarty pants, but my point still stands. games don't need plots because they're gamesMKJ wrote:Cos before those, there were no movie tie-ins. LOL ET on Atari2600.

Depends on the game doesn't it? You don't need a plot for a FPS or RTS, but it is integral to a point and click adventure game like those made by TTG or those made by Lucas Arts back in the day. Discovering the plot is the whole point of the game. It's a bit like saying you don't need 4 wheels on a car because of motorcycles.seremtan wrote:games don't need plots because they're games
Your retort has absolutely nothing to do with my criticism and your logic for reasoning that this could be "better than the actual show" is beyond retarded.Memphis wrote:Walking Dead was better than the actual show.

Go fuck yourselves.

Pissed at the lack of originality, the lack of effort, the lack of foresight, the lack of taking risks, the lack of doing anything new, the lack of doing anything that can't be turned into a franchise, the lack of any genuine caring about the future of games instead of how much money they can squeeze from it this week...Don Carlos wrote:I think GKY is pissed about the lack of originality in games at the moment...

It's a job that pays the bills. I don't have to like the games I work on (thank fucking God for that) because if I had to I'd leave tomorrow.Plan B wrote:Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't you part of that industry you seem to be so disgusted with?
