Ah, so the NeXT episode is out? Excellent!
Off to YouTube to play the game at no cost whatsoever!
Over 3 months waiting for not even 1½ hour of playtime.
At least is was pretty much on par with the first episode.
Metro, can you go be a massive hipster somewhere else?
what he is or isn't doesn't change the shitty nature of telltale "interactive" movies.Derp. Metro is a hipster.
The interaction elements are sparse and lacking. Especially in The Wolf Among Us.The walking dead and wolf among us are interactive stories, which is a fine genre in and by itself. Most criticism on the codex has been "lol it's an interactive story", which is like criticizing fallout by saying "lol it's an RPG, RPGs suck"
How so? Your choices affects the game more than most games ever released. They are not nearly as sweeping as that one choice in the witcher 2, but it does provide (at the least the illusion) of the game reacting and acknowledging your choices and how you handle situations. This simply can't be recreated with a book/movie/series as some people claim. Sure, you can't interact with the environment a lot, and there is little exploration, but there are several dialogue options.The interaction elements are sparse and lacking.

I've just finished the first episode.
It was way too short, pretty simplistic and had some stupid moments but it's been fun and since I know fuck all about the comic or the setting, I'm very interested in the story. The characters are surprisingly relatable and not at all annoying. I'd wanted to play a PC Heavy Rain for a long time and this is the first game of this type I've found and it's satisfying. The examination of areas looks pretty dumb sometimes and Bigsby is captain obvious, but whatever, never in my life have I seen a game that didn't sometimes feel retarded/for retards, so who cares. The art style and art direction are perfect and I don't mind the QTEs after pixel hunting in Broken Sword just a month ago.
What I'm trying to say, it feels like a breath of fresh air, especially as I'm coming in blind and have not been much touched by the recent adventure/interactive movie games.
