Why are you still talking?

Because three threads of posting the exact same thing wasn't enough.

David, if you don't like Telltale's TWD game, you ahould play TWD: Survival Instinct instead - I think that game's cast and writing would be a much better fit for you.

Nah. The graphics aren't good enough.

Ouch

To be fair to David, if he didn't enjoy the first episode, he's well within his rights not to buy the rest. 

 

So, David doesn't like TWD. Big deal. Characters aren't attractive enough due to the art style and there isn't enough HEROISM. No need to get caught up in the rest.

 

I will ask David though, aside from Mass Effect, what are some games you actually like?

 

 

Its old and done. Time for new things and not the same old same old.

 

By that reckoning, Skyrim is overrated. It's really just re-using the same formula of Oblivion with streamlining and bringing back some world design principles from Morrowind.

 It's obviously not done by any stretch of the imagination if there are still thousands of player playing it daily.

Lee is a better hero than Shepard ever will be. Godspeed you magnificent bastard.

We know it's his right, but his logic in relation to Lee not being compelling or interesting because he hasn't experienced the rest of his development - that's tear-tear-fake level-type-swag.

Is this really such a difficult question? Me asking what people see in TWD? I'd think people would be able to answer it without resorting to childish ridicule.

We already did, you and your yee-yee questions.  

[Br3admax]

No one ever said that he had to buy any of them. But he can't judge an entire series because of his first impression. He can say that he's not interested. He however can never say that the entire series is anything, because he knows literally nothing about it first hand. 

[Bob from Accounting]

Here's a question.

 

IS the rest of the series of a significantly better quality than the first episode? Significantly improved writing?

What did I see in it? The rest of series. 

[spirosz]

This is like me saying Shepard is only a male option and not heroic, since I only played the first game.

Subjective.

 

For me, yes.  

[Rusty Sandusky]

Yes it is. Dem feels

Sure. Not that the first episode is lacking in quality. 

[I SOLD MY SOUL TO BIOWARE]

What did people see in the Walking Dead?

 

Nothing about the writing impressed me. Yeah, they gave minor characters fleshed out backgrounds, which is rare and nice, but I didn't find anybody compelling in the first episode. Lee came off as, frankly, not that articulate. Compared to Shepard, both his responses and voice were somewhat dull. Clementine was nice enough I guess, but I can think of a lot of characters that have caught my interest a lot more in less time.

 

I did not like the choices one bit, and that's not even seeing the consequences later on, which, from what I've heard, aren't very impressive. I believe I've heard that whatever character you save just dies a bit later on anyway?

 

There weren't really any themes I saw. It just...bored me, really.

 

I understand I only played the first episode, but this is 20% of the story. Things need to be off the ground by this time.

 

Yes, they were still finding their footing in the first episode. I'll give you that. If that was all there was it would have been a 'eh, I guess that was pretty good.' from me. But Telltale proceeded to step up their game enough in the writing department for the next episodes that so many people, admittedly myself included, were probably unhealthily emotionally attached by the end of it. Just look at how many people were bawling their eyes out at the ending. 'Average writing' doesn't tend to do that. Simply put, it has more emotional payoff than any game I've ever played. 'What you've heard' is probably that the choices don't matter, which isn't really true; the reactions from the rest of the characters to the choices you've made were what they were really there for. Kenny, for example, his relationship with Lee throughout the series is pretty much entirely painted by what you've done. He can be your best friend or your worst enemy. Clementine can look up to you and adore you or simply stick to you because she has nowhere else to go. Which, given the feeling of just holding out against inevitability the whole story has, I'd say fits. 

 

As for Lee, he isn't Shepard. He's a history teacher who did some bad things and tries to hide it. I'm not even sure why 'compared to Shepard' is a thing here. (But if we are going to do that, Lee wins a thousand times over. That glorious bastard.)

Erm, you can play as a FemShep in ME1 SpiuSpiu

No you can't, that's not possible.  Canon playthroughs only.

Spiu Spiu is a casual of the highest order.

Is there a person who can respond maturely to me saying I thought the writing in a game they liked was of mediocre quality and pointing out why?
