Yeah, it probably wouldn't. Mundies are supposed to have dull thoughts when they reach the Woodlands, or the Farm. I was hoping Detective Branigan was some long lost Fable.
The rumor is that the original plot wasn't too faithful to the comics; the NYPD was suposed to have more involvment (the detective on the sl… moreide proves it), Bluebeard was supposed to, at least temporarily, be the command (episode 4 slide and episode 3's preview suggests it) and Episode 2 preview was tottally different from the actual episode.
I'm not even going to mention the weird achievments....
And that's something to brag about/ be proud of how?
If you were 8 and you were playing a violent video game rated 13+ or 17+, then that wa… moresn't only illegal but it was also an oversight on the part of your guardians/ parents.
Considering the number of downvotes PerttuLaulaa has received (and I might receive), it appears most people here are either underaged, who are just mad about being told not to play a videogame, or are mature people who feel that videogame ratings are stupid, and it's fine for underaged people to play games rated M.
Regardless of your opinions, as Bigby says in the game, the law is there for a reason, even if you don't understand or appreciate it.

A 16 year old should enjoy everything they can within limit of reason and legality. While playing a game meant for people older than you is … morecertainly not akin to a grievous criminal offense, it is still incorrect.
Next people will be saying it's fine for minors to watch porno. It's a short step from disrespecting the set norms to going too far and actively flouting something you shouldn't.
And yet it was made a rule for a reason. You can either choose to respect the rules of the country you live in our you can shout about how you enjoy breaking them on a public forum.
Just because it was ok for someone's kid to be allowed to play a violent game not meant for their age does not mean it is fine for everyone and inciting or promoting such behaviour is wrong.
The ESRB's ratings are not legally binding under U.S. law, but there have been several attempts at both the state and federal levels to pass bills that would make it illegal for retailers to sell video games which are not rated by ESRB, or to sell games rated M or AO to minors. However, such laws have been declared unconstitutional per the Supreme Court case Brown v. Entertainment Merchants Association—concerning a 2005 California law banning the sale of "violent video games", defined using a variation of the Miller test that is separate to the ESRB rating, to those under 18. The court ruled that states could not pass laws to restrict the sale of video games to minors, as they are considered a protected form of expression under the First Amendment.
ESRB ratings don't have legal standing but nonetheless most stores have rules wherein you cannot purchase a game unless you show valid ID.
Try sending a 12 year old in Walmart to buy GTA V. He'll be sent back empty handed.

Laws are not always correct. They get amended quite a lot. There are reasons why laws like this are place and there are also reasons why its very rarely enforced.
Besides its only illegal for stores to sell to minors, if a parent chooses to buy a game and give it to their child (as is what probably happens with most of children on here) then that's their decision and who are you to say its wrong? IIRC there isn't a lot of psychological evidence to suggest its as bad as the media likes to think.

You are correct on the point that there is a reason why such rules are in place. Incorrect in saying they are not enforced. If an employee of a shop that sells videogames sells inappropriate games to underaged players, I am certain that can be used as grounds for termination of his employment.
As far as parents being choosing games for their kids most of the time, that is true. Statistics show that at least ~93% of parents approve a game before their kids buy it, at least when you talk about buying a physical copy.
Purchasing games online is a whole different deal though and is not monitored as effectively, so assuming that most underaged players here are here with their parents consent, and that their parents agree with statements made in defence of them playing games meant for mature audiences is a little to much to just assume.

True. There's no wrong ways to play these games.
Don't get me wrong, I think Episode 4 was great, it just seemed less than compared to the other episodes. You make some good points!
In reply to PerttuLaulaa
From another forum - it seems that the episode is probably almost complete, as Telltale is testing some scenes.
I'll be SUPER optimistic and guess that we'll get the episode either on 24th June or 1st July

This shouldn't make any difference. Would you want them to hold TWAU from us if TWD had production problems? Like TWAU had after ep1. Same brand but different products and different teams. Making a habit of taking much longer than a month to release an episode is worse for business than any ideal schedule.
Because it shows a general lack of care for TWD fans. Like: "Hey, we know TWD is our most popualr series by a lot, but we're gonna delay it for TWAU" and even if it isn't delayed, it brings up the question of why they got it done before Amid The Ruins. sounds like some bad resource management.

Lack of care? TWD has 2 seasons, the biggest gap between episodes (3 months) was still smaller than the biggest gap between TWAU episodes (4 months), it didn't undergo the overhaul of the entire script (thank God that Telltale was still able to come up with a fantastic story, despite those changes) and TWD still maintains the 1.5hr episode mark while the latest episode of TWAU was supposedly barely over one hour (for many players; I can speak for myself that it did not affect my playthrough that much), besides - without the 4-month-wait, the TWAU season would be over by now. If anything, TWAU fans should be the ones to complain; thankfully, the majority of us is patiently waiting.
I am not bashing TWD fans. I understand both sides as I play both games, but we should stop accusing both games for the delays. If it helps TWD fans, the chance that TWAU will get Season 2 is very slim (although I hope that I'm wrong on that one), while TWD will probably receive Season 3. Tell me how is that supposed to be Telltale's lack of care for TWD fans.

yeah im just hoping they get up with twd and then show us the twau finale hopefully with 2 hour of gameplay here's to hopimg
Cheers mate!
not to be rude or anything, but playing a game underage is not illegal in anyway LOL
Selling a game meant for mature audiences to someone underage is.
The people already found the killer,that's why
EPISODE 5 WHERe
At least we know that Ep5 is coming (soon :P ), but after Telltale finishes TWD2, GOT and TFTB I want to see this.
Telltale wouldn't make it obvious enough for people to figure out who the killer is if they had to rewrite the plot in case that happened...
Oh god yes.
Detective Brannigan, you tease us so.
Nothing happens when you go from being 17 and 364 days to 18. People are ready for things at their own pace.

Prying?
Probably an attempt to rhyme with 'flying'. But we're not poets, goddammit. It's not a part our resumes
Why am I worried that Cry Wolf will be out before Amid The Ruins? This shouldn't even be a possibility.
