Jesus, Metro. We know all this by now. Puzzles aren't the only reason for playing an adventure game, not that this was ever marketed as such.
Well, I had fun with it and so did others.
Yeah, the puzzles went from trivial to non existent in Season 2. Not that they ever really mattered.
So in this new Episode/Season did they actually make any of the choices you make, actually effect anything? Or is it the same boring BioWare/CDProject all choices are meaningless, and they all lead to the same thing?

All choices were meaningless in The Witcher series...?
Nah, in the first one at least it all followed through nicely. Here it's all virtual reality, it's just that the lie is told so well that you don't really care it's not true.

I don't think there's a lot of difference between the first and the second game in terms of consequences (by Codexian standards I'd assume they'd be considered insignificant in both instances). Two characters from this episode can get killed off/saved depending on your choices. Just sayin' this since I think it's easy for some players to miss.
They'll probably get killed off later, but anyway...

The graphics in TWD are much better.

He's saying roleplaying games should've never been made into computer games, I think.

Yes, I like A Song of Ice and Fire as well.
Here the new characters get to say a whopping 5 sentences before they get the axe, not 5 books.

Just like the comics, then.

I'm impressed by episode 2! They used to only have binary outcomes, A dies or B dies etc, this time there are like 2*2=4 outcomes! That's great incline right there!
Yet some guy has to die no matter what, right? Remind me the arc word in some critical acclaimed rail shooter game, "constants and variables".

So, episode 3 is out.
Nick actually survived. Could have sworn they'd kill him off quick after the choice of him living or dying in Episode 2. He didn't do anything of course, but he survived. Wow. Alvin apparently is dead meat though (I got him killed in Episode 2 though), but that actually makes sense.
Carver was one sack of shit.
Kenny is one hard motherfucker.
The ending choice did make me wince. The choice won't matter of course.

I don't know what matters any more, or what happened to me that didn't happen to other people. But Kenny is awesome, I stayed and watched him beat Carver's head into a bloody pulp. Spotted Carla ruining the escape a mile off, I just hope I'll be able to abandon her somewhere or let her be killed. I didn't think the "chopping off the arm" was that shocking as an ending since we've seen it done before and we know by now that Clem is one smart and tough kid.

It was more because
She's doing something that Lee did to himself, but it didn't help. Granted, they established that Reggie survived it, so it'll either be Sarita always lives or always dies.
Not reading the rest of this thread in case I change my mind, but... I played through a couple hours of the first episode of this last night with the wife looking on and I was bored to fucking tears. The dialog was poor, the pacing slow as fuck, the puzzles non-existent and the controls lame as fuck. Does it get better? Or am I just not the type to like this game?

I'm only really playing ironically. *Tip Hipster Fedora* My above serious posts are rare exceptions.
It's awful, but I'm really just treating it as something amusingly awful to devour. If you're bored, don't bother.
