SOME of the main issues.Telltale Games' The Walking Dead adaptation is delivering more of its compelling interactive narrative this November with "A New Frontier," the third season in the series. This review would be too long if I talked about every issue, but SOME of the main issues are up there. Easy choices and deaths don't affect you because there is not enough character development and the game just pushes you forwards without any chance to talk to characters like in Season 1 (and even S2).
The walking dead a new frontier release plus#
We played as Clementine in Season 2 and shaped our Clementine, and now Clementine is a supporting character again plus her personality doesn't change at all depending on your choices last season. Her being in every bloody advertisement also doesn't help. All the false advertising pre-release doesn't help either. This isn't Clem's story, this is Javier's story - so this shouldn't even have Clem in it if Telltale wants to tell Javier's story so badly because she's just shoe-horned in and a side character. Short 60 minute episodes (and the awful story makes it even worse), Clementine is playable for 5 minutes per ep, false advertisting pre-release, this is Javier's story for whatever **** reason even though we never asked for this and just wanted a GOOD continuation of Clementine's story (but this is an ABYSMAL continuation - this shouldn't even be called S3), The story is awful, and Clem is just a side character shoe-horned in when she was pretty much the main character for the previous two seasons.
The walking dead a new frontier release series#
Rest in bloody peace: a series which once used to be great.
Short 60 minute episodes (and the TL DR - Offensive to S1 and S2 players. So yeah, a huge technical step forward which lost its soul along the way towards visual perfection. It tries real hard and theoretically speaking, it does tick off all the boxes, but in practice, it just doesn't work, you aren't curious what's gonna happen next, you don't partake in their suffering, you willingly engender the lives of the main characters just for fun, etc.
5) Finally, the game simply doesn't make you feel ANYTHING. Predictable and boring, with walkers coming out of nowhere in hordes and the bad guys being so 2-dimensional you d swear they are cardboard cut-outs. 4) The story itself also falters, just like the characters. 3) I love the graphics and animations though! It's an IMMENSE improvement on the last two series, really contributes to immersion. 2) Just like others wrote, choices you make don't seem to matter at all, they all lead to the same conclusions in the end. That's the major complaint that for some may constitute reason enough to quit midway. 1) Very bland main character, which is absolutely unforgivable in a game like this - compared to Clem and Lee, Javier is a **** joke, he's a complete push-over that has no depth, emotion or vibrance to him. 1) Very bland main character, which is absolutely Obviously, all fans gonna buy it instantly, but stuff still needs to be said.
