How is Walking Dead Game of The Year?

:Feels stupid knowing that:

 

[Gannu]

Saw the show yesterday night and it was perhaps the best VGA ever. Sam is perhaps the best host I've ever seen. May be Jack Black comes second but any and all of these dudes would easily outclass Zachary Levi! However, unlike the last time we did not have those 3D animated sequences which come live between the show and within the show.

Jessica Alba - :heart:

How is Walking Dead Game of The Year?

Have you played it yet? If not please do that before passing such a lame comment! By the looks of it, you haven't played it. TWD absolutely deserved all the awards this time - the game was that good!

Please don't pass your judgement without knowing if I have

And the matter of fact is, except the last episode I did play it. In fact I asked all my friends to play it. Been doing that since the first episode got released wayy back before summer. It's boring. The gameplay bores you out in half n hour. I couldn't go back to the game after episode 2. Forced myself for the sake of it. Same applies to the friends I had given the game too.

Initially awesome. Quickly bored out.

Well then kid, sorry to say, gaming is just not for you. I rest my case!

 

[comp@ddict]

wow. Among us, it's you who's the kid. Are you so arrogant that if you liked a game, a lot and someone else didn't, you pass judgement on that person? If that is so, I do feel sorry for you.

My opinion is my own, and you can reserve your judgement on it. Nobody is asking for your judgement on what I feel. If you have anything to counter what I feel with some points like interactive gameplay etc. etc., it's valid. But your behaviour right now is equivalent to a 5 year old kid who is not able to convince his friend that the toy he loves is the best toy in the world.

That put aside. I like The Walking Dead series. The game is good. New fresh concept, nicely implemented. I would give it a 8/10. I can go ahead to call it a great game. Just not Game of The Year for me.

That is my opinion Gannu, and if you can't respect it, don't comment on it.
