Indeed, but then it would be either F2P or P2P and I most certainly am not gonna dish out money for a subscription based game again. Unless they do like Guild Wars and don't make you pay after you buy the game. It's better than paying them continuously to fix what they broke in a previous expansion (which you paid for).

Yeah so I played the game. It was garbage. I can't believe they are asking $25 for that. Three hours for $25. Jesus. Like if it was actually a game rather than an interactive story book, it would have been fine. Half of it is on-the-rails, a quarter of it is just general time wasting, and the other quarter is actual gameplay. I didn't expect much, but I thought it'd be much more than this. I understand the graphical style they chose, but I still feel it's too muddy looking. I was playing on the highest settings and in-game it looks as thought it's low settings. I won't go into it too much and let you play it yourself, but what we have here is mostly a children's game with swearing and gore in it. The characters don't give off the serious vibe that the ones in the comic do. They just get angry pretty much. I ran into my fair share of bugs, too. It's still early, though, but I'm just astounded by how short the game is. And there are 6 episodes priced at $25. They really want to cash in on this.

EDIT: I learned last week that I was mistaken. There are actually 5 episodes instead of 6 and all five are included in the $25 cost. That significantly adds value to the package, but quantity can't make up for crap quality.

So I'm late to this party, and unfortunately, Netflix only has 6 episodes. But holy damn is this show good.

Netflix only has Season 1? I'd check, but I don't have the interest :D

Just download Season 2. It'll be better than streaming from netflix.

I lol'd.

Issue 98 was fuuuuucked up.

Finally watched most of Season 1 and all of Season 2.

First off, Lori is annoying as hell at the end of the second season. "OMG GETAWAY FROM ME BCUZ U KILLED THE MAN WHO FUCKED ME EVEN THOUGH YOURE MY HUSBAND AND YOU WERE DOING IT OUT OF SELF DEFENSE AND FOR THE WELL BEING OF THE GROUP. YOU ANIMAL!" Goodness this show makes me hate so many characters, it's unbelievable. Carl was a little brat most of the first season and during the entire second season except towards the ending. THE PARENTS IN THIS SHOW FUCKING SUCK. WHO THE HELL LETS THEIR KIDS ROAM AROUND AN APOCALYPTIC ZOMBIE LAND. This reason alone is why I hated Carol for most of the second season and why Lori is a terrible mother because she can't keep her borderline sociopathic brat of a son on a leash so he doesn't attract random Walkers that kill characters in this show who have a conscience and some intelligence. The entire group as a whole is fucking "broken," like Deryll and Dale both have said, but not because they're split on decisions, but rather because only three of them have any fucking capacity to make intelligent decisions. I didn't feel the least bit concerned that Rick was so fucking pissed at the group at the end of Season 2 because, frankly except for Deryll, Hershell, and T-Dog, they're all fucking stupid.

On a positive note, can't wait for Season 3. I really like how Angela, Carol, and Beth have all shaped up in terms of being characters I can actually stand to watch now on the TV. The Prison is supposed to be very intense plotwise and considering all of the characters from the Comic that aren't existing for the next season, I think it will end up being real interesting.

I still want to know who was Firebombing Atlanta during Season 2.

Anyone still watching this?

I will, starting Sunday. I didn't have my TV with me for a few months at College/University, so I couldn't really watch it without hounding down a stream. Really interesting season though that definitely makes you wonder where exactly the series is going.
