The one thing that bothers me in the game though, ... And this is understandable as it seems mostly as a mechanic of affecting the gameplay, but:

What I find annoying is that whenever Lee makes the tiniest white lie, or has to make a tough call, everyone shits all over him about it forever.

Like okay I saved Kenny's son and stuck up for him the whole time, but I agree with Lilly like 2 times when he's acting like a dick, and he just pretends not to see me when I'm about to get ganked instead of running to help??

And then I make it out of that alive but he STILL acts like he can be mad at me?? WTF bro

You know, shit like that ... The characters are a LITTLE too touchy about minor disagreements. The game probably does a check to see how many times you've agreed or disagreed with them to affect how they react to you, but not all decisions are equal, and they probably should have done it on a variable, weighted scale. (For instance, saving a man's child and always doing right by the kid should outweigh pretty much anything else, and he should pull for you no matter what, unless he's an evil asshole or something)

Also it REALLY pissed me off that I did EVERYTHING goody-two-shoes, except for telling Vernon that Clem was my daughter (hello?? gun pointed at my head?? and why couldn't I say "well i think of her as my daughter"??), and he chews me out for being a bad leader. >:I

fuck you, homeboy :mad:


I bet it's because Lee's black :(
buncha rassicts

what i'm REALLY bummed about though is that the two people in the whole game that seem like the greatest survivors -- Charles and Molly -- die and leave, no matter what :/

At the end there I felt like I was just ending up with all the runts of the litter or something. "Yay, I get a short dude with a fucked leg, a pregnant bitch, a bumbling teenager, and a guy who holds grudges like no one's business who probably wouldn't mind dying anyway. Great."

In my playthrough I totally let Ben go. I felt that he was more of a detriment to the well-being of my group and when he asked me to let him go and said "We both know." I felt that at least in MY story, this was his redemption moment. I didn't bring Clem with me to Crawford so when we had to spill the beans about Ben (thanks to Kenny's asshole-ness) I had to explain to her that Ben wanted to sacrifice himself for the survival of the group and she responded that she understood.

I agree with the touchiness of the characters; it's akin to walking on eggshells whenever any decision comes up. I'm fairly happy with my run-through, tho'. :)

I'm assuming you took Clem with you to Crawford? The scene where Molly gets attacked by the Walkers in the school was intense because Clem wasn't there to save her and it's completely up to Lee to save her. I've watched videos online and apparently you can actually shoot her on accident! Crazy!

According to the Telltale games twitter and forums, the release date for episode 5 should be within this upcoming week. I'm really curious as to how they're going to pull this episode off with there being like 8 different ways to start the episode depending on who went with you.

Did you hide or show the bite in your play-through? I hid mine for fear of worrying my group and them abandoning Clem and I. I'm now worried that this is going to have some crazy seriously effed up consequence in ep. 5

No, I left her, too. Seems like a stupid asshole thing to do to take a 7-year-old with you on such an excursion. Also I figured it'd have consequences since the black chick just finished chewing me out for doing the same thing earlier in the area with the train.

I tried both showing it and hiding it (after a rewind) ... I think I will go with showing it and going alone at the beginning of ep 5. Seems more noble, and there's less chance I'll royally piss everyone off ...

I may be a little bit be a bit behind on buying this game but I've been playing Batman: Arkham City and I cannot for the life of me stop playing it, even after I've beaten it. It gives me this feeling I had when I was little boy watching Tim Burton's old Batman movies over and over again. It sticks to the comic book versions of Batman and his enemies, and has one of the best fighting systems I've seen.

As for arcade, I've been playing a game called The Misadventures of P.B Winterbottom, and it's pretty addicting if you're into puzzles and platformers and what not. I just really like the art style of the game and the soundtrack is awesome. It's 800 MS points and I'm sure you won't be disappointed if you decide to buy it :P

Beat Hazard on Android. One of my favorite shmups on the PC. So Figured I'd give it a shot on mobile. Almost all touch screen controlled games I've ever played that required precise movement were awful. Beat hazard seems to be an exception.
 
Been playing Heroes of Might and Magic III with my friend Patrick. We won a game so far (well, he won, I tried to assist him, haha).

Might start up Baldur's Gate with him OR shoot demons in Doom soon. Hmmm...

Hey guys, how is Lone Survivor? I'm thinking about buying it

Onzephyr & jB, I see ya'll own it


It's quite good. it's story and feeling over game play. Not a lot of action or reaction skills needed. plays out kind of like the older silent hills. Were you avoid all you can instead of facing it, mostly. It also either changes a bit with each play through, or I'm just really bad at noticing stuff. Not sure which

I also found I like playing it more with a controller sitting on a couch. It however does not support controllers by default. so I used joytokey to fix that.

Just bought Tropico 4, since it's only € 7,50 on Steam atm.
I've only played through the tutorial so far but it looks promising.

ty :D i think i'm gonna give it a shot ~~

sounds like a slightly more action-oriented HOME, which was also a pretty good indie "horror".

Just finished Halo 4 on legendary. I was affraid 343 industries might ruin Halo, but I have to say that this game makes an excellent addition to the series. This was a much better game than the latest ones from Bungie. (Reach, ODST)
The ending was what I expected it to be..

They killed off Cortana!! :( They'd better bring her back in the next game somehow
 
Finally got around to playing Phoenix Wright, the first one. NOW I see why people like this game! Love a lot of the characters :heart: On the fifth case's last day now!
 
Played Age of Empires with Star last night - to make him happy.

I totally messed up my towns. XD

Now I'm playing Skyrim, looking for a good-looking fella to marry. Trying for Onmund, but he won't give me his quest. GAH.

I won't have access to as many games when I move, either. *cries*
