    like ME 3, this game is fraud
    no choice or decision makes any relevant consequences
    dialogue and the order of location may change but all lead to same ending thinking it takes 3 or 4 times of effforts in order to make this kind of game having significant results, it would be indie dev to do the job. triple titles cost too much to do that pros: -story is decent cons: -graphic is    like ME 3, this game is fraud

    November has been another bad month for ps+ users. It's the two year anniversary of PS4 and this is one of the games we have been given. Not only is it an insult because it is part two, but also it's not a very engaging game.

    I grew up playing clicky games a name given to point and click adventures like Broken Sword, Monkey Island, Diskworld and The Dig.

Not only is it an insult because it is part two, but also it's not a very engaging game.

    I grew up playing clicky games a name given to point and click adventures like Broken Sword, Monkey Island, Diskworld and The Dig. These adventures were known for good storytelling, sense of humor, devilish puzzles and high quality voice acting (once introduced with the PC). They represented a golden age in gaming and were very fun and addictive.

    Telltale has attempted to revise these older and better games, and for a majority of fans it has worked. But for me, it hasn't and I don't enjoy them at all. They feel way too forced as if you are just watching a badly animated movie. Occasionally a prompt flashes on screen asking you to press on what you want the character to do or say but this is an old cliche now and just induces yawning. When you do get to control a character you are literally just walking around and talking to other characters, the brain-teasing puzzles have been replaced with simple find this or talk to this person. It's all very slow paced and has little to hold an intelligent persons attention. It's kind of like point and click adventures for the lazy generation who don't want too much from there games, just the odd interaction to make it nice and easy so they can see how the story plays out. Personally I'd rather read the comics or watch the TV show!

    Telltale games are more like choose your own adventure books seen published in the 80's. Apparently your actions affect the overall story, but who really cares, you'll only play this once, if you can get past the mind numbing dull first chapter!

    Walking Dead two makes little sense to me as Sony didn't give us part one, for some odd reason they gave us part 2. Which has given me no desire to purchase the 1st part as the spoilers are given before starting a new game.

    I found the hour or two I put into the game very boring. The character animations were crude, voice acting average and the cell shaded graphics looked very out dated. So another bitter disappointment this month. But at least Fall out 4 is out in 5 days so I can finally get back to enjoying gaming again!

    So by all means download for free, but don't expect much. So again I say to Sony, please please step your game up for December! We really really would like you to do some research into what your subscribers actually want to play or put back the voting system so we have a choice. So we don't end up with another part two of a lukewarm adventure game!    … Expand

    I loved the first Season of the Walking Dead. I thought I was going to love this game. I loved Season 1 and I love Telltale games but this game upset me.

    There is not a lot I can say because I didn’t get very far into Episode 1. It starts out with you taking on the role of Clementine. I got to a point where I met a Dog and I made the mistake of thinking that the Dog is going to be my new friend but Telltale took it too far, too early. After I opened up food the dog changed from being a friendly dog to being an aggressive killer. The Dog attacks Clementine and then she has to kick the dog off of her. The dog goes flying, off camera and then all you hear is whimpering. At this point, I knew what was going to happen next. The dog was going to be gravely hurt and the tough decision was going to be to either kill the dog or leave it hurt and let it starve to death.

    I don’t know for sure if that’s what the dilemma was going to be but I didn’t feel like finding out. I’ll make tough decisions about people, no problem but when it comes to animals and especially dogs. No, I won’t go there and it upsets me that Telltale would. It was there for shock factor and to be edgy. This is probably one of the most upsetting moments in video games for me personally.    … Expand

    Oh my goodness, this game edged a very close place in my heart. “The Walking Dead: Season Two” is a game made by Telltale Games (The same company that made Borderlands), and released in December of 2013. It is a sequel to The Walking Dead: Season One and the DLC 400 Days. The game is made up of five long episodes that take about an hour to an hour and a half to complete. In this game, youOh my goodness, this game edged a very close place in my heart. “The Walking Dead: Season Two” is a game made by Telltale Games (The same company that made Borderlands), and released in December of 2013. It is a sequel to The Walking Dead: Season One and the DLC 400 Days. The game is made up of five long episodes that take about an hour to an hour and a half to complete. In this game, you play as the young girl Clementine as she moves on from the tragic end to her previous group. This game is on the Playstation and Xbox (both platforms) and is around 15-20 dollars for where you look.
    The great thing about this game is how it’s set up. The premise of the game is making decisions and seeing how it affects the others around you. You can build up multiple personas, and there’s not really any that are correct. You can be distant and rude, or can be everyone’s friend. But those decisions can cause people to not trust you, and end up getting killed because of it. While there may be some decisions that might not make sense, like talking about food, most of your decisions affect the game in some way.
    After choosing whether or not you kill your father-like figure Lee after he’s bitten, Clementine leaves everyone except for her two friends Christa and Omid. Clem gets jumped by a girl who ends up killing Omid trying to save Clem, and Christa and her leave after killing the girl. After being chased in the woods, Clem finally becomes alone being separated from Christa. You wander through them and find a dog. Your first big decision is whether to feed it or not. I chose to feed it, and the dog bites you and you have to kill it. You fall unconscious and two guys named Luke and Pete find you. They notice you’ve been bitten and think a walker bit you. You are brought to their group’s base and are made to sleep in a shed in case you become a walker. But as you prove not, the group starts to like you. All the characters are interesting and you talk to them all at some point, like pregnant Rebecca, young innocent Sarah, and kind Luke. There are way more characters but they come at different times. You make relationships and find villains along the way like a man named Carver who’s in search of vengeance. I can’t say much about the story though, since it’s really what you make of it.
    The game itself is a masterpiece. I think it’s probably one of the first games I’ve played that made me (almost) cry. There are some really sad scenes, mainly of people dying that you liked. I really enjoy the art style to this game since it looks like a cartoon but still realistic. The soundtrack is also pretty good, not the best though. The best thing about this game though is just the story. There aren’t really any bugs in this game, which to me is really shocking. Each time I play this game, I can always try something new. But for me, the best part of the game is after proving the dog bit you, on Playstation you get a trophy saying, “STILL. NOT. BITTEN.”
    In total, this game is NOT for children. The cartoony look shouldn’t fool you. The violence is very extreme at times, like having to stitch your own wound, and hearing Clem cry out in pain, or watching a dog suffer after being impaled. If you’re younger and can take the gruesome content, at least have an adult supervise you. But besides that this, in a sense billions of choices choosing game to me is perfect.    … Expand

    Telltale games are the worst. Not sure who is enjoying a barely interactive visual novel. Theres a better medium for what theyre going for, theyre called BOOKS.

    I love these games but i'm scoring it badly for the save glitch on ps4 , the game crashes if you rewind and if you start a new chapter it doesnt carry your past decions over from the previous chapters you finished on that save file , it randomly generates your choices instead . I got all the way through in a sitting upto the end of chapter 4 went to reload to change my choice now it doesntI love these games but i'm scoring it badly for the save glitch on ps4 , the game crashes if you rewind and if you start a new chapter it doesnt carry your past decions over from the previous chapters you finished on that save file , it randomly generates your choices instead . I got all the way through in a sitting upto the end of chapter 4 went to reload to change my choice now it doesnt load or it resets to the beginning of the chapter and loses all previous progress making time spent pointless.
    The glitch needs to be patched , this game has been out for a good while now.

    the choices in season 2 have little to no consequence , i have found in various choices no matter the option taken the ooutcome will be exactly the same , season 1 yyou really fealt the otions you chose through the rest of the game and had a differnt play experience due to it , not with season 2 .
    I have also not found the characters you come across this time round compelling enough for you to care about them as much as you did in the previous game .    … Expand

    The walking whine. Nowhere near season 1 (which was great), the story and dialogues are absolutely pathetic. The ending doesn't explain anything, The characters are just fu#*$ annoying. Whining and complaining about pointless BS. You just want them dead.

    It's like the story was written by local kindergarten. DO NOT WASTE MONEY AND TIME.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 1 The QTE have gotten more annoying then they were before not hard just more annoying.
    2 Clem is also very dumb this season it's not as bad in the later episodes but my god is she super dumb in the first few episodes.
    3 Way too much pointless fighting with Kenny.
    4 Jane is super annoying and wont shut up about her sister among other things she wont shut up about on top of that even if you chose not to steal the beg of meds Jane takes it anyways and than runs off with them and then loses it i guess since she doesn't have it when she comes back like the very next day.
    5 Your choices this season matter very little i mean i think every character you have the choice to try and save end up dying either way and the choice about stealing the kid's beg also doesn't matter because it leads to the same outcome either way, the only choices that seem to matter even a little are the ones to do with Kenny.    … Expand

    Starts out great, there's a bit of a lull in the middle, and finishes just as high as the superlative original. [Christmas 2014, p76]
