Setting the typical deflections aside for those that like to defend it to the death (lol), the choices they decide to commit to in the second reminds me (not 1:1 mind you) of TellTales The Walking Dead, where they spend a great deal of time and energy getting you to care about Clementine only to go out of their way to 180 on persuade you to betray her at any given chance.

John Wick except instead of a puppy and cool suits its the main characters daughter and the basic idea of zombie ants making its way into humans.

I haven't seen part 2 so couldn't tell you. The reviews are not looking good, will have to try it myself.

I'm also waiting for the TV series.

As a prepper I do like zombie & apocalypse genre games and movies.

 

I really liked Telltale's The Walking Dead season 1 and 2....Michonne onwards was kinda meh

I might've bought a PS3 to play this if there were one other PS3 exclusive I also wanted to play, the problem was there never was that second game so I could never justify picking up the PS3.

 

Now that it's arriving on PC it's so many years later that I'm not sure that I care...

 

But it's also coming to HBO and I happen to have an active HBO Max subscription, so I'll try it there first.  Pity it doesn't drop till 9 PM and I already have plans around that time, guess I'll have to avoid this thread until I can catch up on it Monday...

Watched episode 1 tonight.  It was pretty good.  Felt like watching a zombie apocalypse movie, a bit of a 28 Days/Weeks Later vibe.  Not sure if it's going to be Game of Thrones (seasons 1-7) good, but I wasn't sure GoT was going to be that good for the first few episodes either.  I plan to catch episode 2 some time next week.

 

I'll also note that you don't have to have played the game to follow what's going on.  I haven't figured out exactly all the relations between all the characters yet, and am still figuring out who all is going to be recurring, but I've figured out who Joel and Ellie are so I think I'm going to be okay.
