Rate season 1-3 on a scale of 1-10

edited October 2017 in The Walking Dead

Comment down below. This is my review: (my opinion changes every 5 seconds)

Season 1 = 8/10

I never thought I'd meet one of my favourite protagonists in the back of a police car. The beginning was unique and something I don't think anyone else has done. Most games would've probably had us play the police officer; the heroic role. It was refreshing to finally play as the "villain."

Clementine was adorable, the storyline was decent and the ending definitely didn't make me cry. ಥ‿ಥ

Season 2 = 3/10

I didn't like playing as Clementine. It's hard to explain why but I'll try; if you've played TWAU, imagine playing as Snow instead of Bigby. If you've played TLOU, imagine playing as 14yr old Ellie instead of Joel. If you've played Fallout4, imagine playing as helpless Shaun instead of Nate/Nora. Playing as Clementine put a bunch of restrictions on the game that were horribly bypassed anyways. You had all these adult characters relying on one little girl. It was just weird.

The beginning was good, but then it went in 500 different directions. TT obviously didn't know what to do when the characters escaped Carver. When episode 4 came along, Telltale freaked out and killed off half the crew so there wouldn't be too many left for the final episode. It was horribly amusing to watch.

Also as others have mentioned in the comments, its a no-win story. You save Nick, he dies anyway. You save Sarah, she dies anyway. You go with Jane, she dies anyway. You go with Kenny, he dies anyway. Season 2 could be deleted and nothing would change. Clementine acts the same in season 3 anyways.

Season 3 = 3/10

It was just as poorly structured as season 2. How did they make the same mistake twice?

The beginning of the game was alright, but it was just a cutscene. It was arguably the most bad-ass moment in the game and all we could do was sit and watch. Like season 2, things went downhill after the introduction had finished. It turned into a walking simulator with a side of bad dialogue.

    Season 1: 6/10

    A serviceable first entry. Also a game that has aged very badly and holds little charm other than a few interactions between Lee and Clementine, besides that, can't say it's a "game" I'd ever go back and play largely due to it's choice and narrative restrictions.

    Season 2: 0.5/10

    Abhorrent mess of shitty writing, awful pacing, dull characters, boring conflicts, and an overall grimly structured series of unpleasant set-pieces disguising themselves as "compelling drama."

    Michonne: 4.5/10

    A largely more sharp mini-series that, if nothing else, benefitted from a much shorter episodic release-line. I did actually enjoy small facets of the game, such as Michonne's inner-conflict (even if it wasn't the best itself, it's an interesting step in the right direction), as well as the antagonists being surprisingly fleshed out characters with an actual means to their less attractive qualities. Still, it is largely boring to sit through though.

    Season 3: 1.5/10

    Marginally more entertaining than the abysmal Season 2, this game traded in the plethora of continuity errors and shit pacing for extremely obnoxious character dialogue and although the conflict was more tight this time around, it was flimsy as all hell. The characters were awful as well, with Clementine being one of the worst. And the dumb shit the game bent over backwards to force into the game was laughable at best (Period scene, anyone?). Regardless, I marginally prefer this over Season 2.

    So, those are my less-than-popular opinions and ratings over the series. One that both has not aged finely and one that just overall is pretty awful.

    Oh god don't even remind me. I think everyone on this website can agree that the whole series just went downhill after season 1.

    As for Michonne, I did kinda like that game. I found the hallucinations of her daughters to be kind of repetitive though. A fair 5/10 from me.

  • Season 1 - 9/10

    It would have been 10 but i have to account for the lagging and glitches throughout the game.

    Season 2 - 6/10

    Story was great but drifted off towards the end. Also the rating is lower due due to the decreased quality compared to S1 as we had shorter episodes, less gameplay, too many cutscenes and dialogue options and less character development/interaction than the first game. Plus some of our choicesndidn matter and i felt we didn't get enough changes to feel like they mattered. Still enjoyed it though.

    Season 3 - 1/10

    Sorry but those who know me know that i hated this game. It was the worst game (if i can even call it a game) since Survival Instinct. Everything good about the previous 2 TWD games was missing in this one. I won't be buying the final season because of it.

  • Seeing all the scores were people are rating S3 higher then S2 makes me disappointed.

  • Season 1: 8

  • I'm not doing half points.

    • S1 (counting 400 Days): 9/10, not gay enough
    • S2: ew, 1/10, marginalized people were treated like trash and every storyline was thrown away
    • Michonne, for whatever it counts as: 6/10, not game enough

  • People don't owe an explanation, certainly not to people who demand that someone explain themselves when liking one shitty fictional zombie game over another.

    It's that kind of malicious pecking order that severely stilts dialogue with opposing opinions of any subject. Some enjoy it more cause of their own perception.

  • Seriously you need to stop being so narrow minded towards people who enjoyed A New Frontier. There's absolutely nothing wrong with fans liking the game aside from your constant prejudiced insinuations that they have bad tastes. You're being incredibly rude and disrespectful.

    Who said I'm disrespecting opinions?

    You just said you felt sorry for those who liked the game. Even if you're somehow just kidding there's nothing in your post to suggest that that is the case.

    Do I even sound serious?

    How am I suppose to tell your inflection through text? As I already said there's nothing in your previous posts to imply you were just kidding or being sarcastic aside from maybe the emoji but that's not really a good indication that you weren't serious.

    Use your head, not eyes.

    You have a history of inciting heated arguments based on seemingly countering replies to people who expressed their satisfaction with A New Frontier. I thought you were just a little abrasive in expressing your discontent at first but your post above saying you felt sorry for those who liked the game made it seem like you were belittling those in favor of A New Frontier. If you didn't mean to come across like that then alright then, sorry I misunderstood.

    That was a long time ago. I don't want to remember anything in the past. I was just making fun of them but you treat me like I'm on youtube right now.

    It's a little bit difficult to pick up sarcasm through text.

    You're taking it too seriously.

    Just wanted to clarify why I mistook your post as serious.

  • The first two seasons had their issues, but were still an enjoyable 9/10 for me. Didn't play Michonne, wasn't too keen on a spinoff series. Didn't finish ANF, wasn't to keen on spinoff series masquerading as a legit entry in the series. Wasn't impressed with the first two episodes or anything I saw in playthroughs, I'm just going to hope for a real story generator with the final season, so I can make sure Gabe stays dead in the unfortunate event I have to see another Garcia.

  • Every time I try to talk about ANF, I feel like I'm turning into the Angry Video Game Nerd.

  • Seeing people scoring ANF higher than Season 2

    Never really understood this myself. I mean season 3 has all of season 2's weaknessess plus more and none of it's strengths.

  • eason 1: 7.5

    It had a cast with a wide variety of personalities that worked well as foils to each other, and having much of the focus of your decisions involving you being the middle man was smart. Having Clementine fall under your care was also a smart move in a decision based game. Gameplay was very stiff, though, and that matters in a game. Having flags that seem insignificant or having one flag outweigh many others felt unfair. It was the least buggy TT game I've played with the best character decisions.

    Season 2: 6/10

    Gameplay stayed largely the same, but bugs were rampant (for me), and character decisions were made much worse. From the beginning to the end, TT tried to instill that we need to choose Clementine's guardian or group when everyone she comes across is either incompetent, an asshole, or both. We are supposed to care about characters who rely on a 10 year old girl half the time and either manipulate or treat her like shit during the second half. The only way that I feel Clementine wouldn't feel like she is better off alone because she's surrounded by idiots is season 1 nostalgia with Kenny, but I didn't. I hated every character except for her. A bleak, no win story that punishes you for not making the decisions it wants you to make by changing them 2 scenes later (Nick, Sarah, siding with Jane). A sequel that didn't build well on the first and was too open ended to build upon.

    Season 3: 6/10

    A character driven game that really made me not care very much about characters. Clementine has now become a twerp who you would only side with if you had season 1 and 2 nostalgia. The main character and his crew come across as whimsical, and it ultimately feels like they got what they deserved at the end of episode one. Characters like Kate and Conrad constantly seem to change their views and contridict themselves. Gabe doesn't seem like he needs to be there at all except to be a piece in the David and Javier storyline, which I could not care about because there was no reason for the player or Javier to have any sympathy for him. The New Frontier was a very poorly fleshed out group with a moustache twirling leader. The game is the buggiest of the three, easily. However, it did address weaknesses the first two seasons have. Flags make more sense. The story has branches. The player can decide which characters matter to them in a more direct way and expand their story, with the exception of Tripp and Ava. The rushed nature of it and it ending on an advert really made me regret putting time and investment in it, though. Should've bought it on a $5 season sale.

  • A bleak, no win story that punishes you for not making the decisions it wants you to make by changing them 2 scenes later (Nick, Sarah, siding with Jane).

    Part of the reason I so detest Season 2 is that very reason.

    If a game presents it's features and then doesn't deliver even remotely on the one thing it has going for it, then as far as I'm concerned it has nothing. It'd be like purchasing a racing game that promises fast intense driving, then only allows you to trike the entire game with great restrictive control as other participants speed past, never allowing you to win and constantly flashing a message that calls you a loser.

    Some people may enjoy the experience of watching tail lights constantly whizzing by, but it's not a racing game and it's a meaningless heap of an experience... That's how I felt about the "choices" in Season 2.
