I commend them just for the sheer shock value of the story. totally worth the purchase. the 1-2 hours i spent on that was more entertaining than the whole season of the TV show

I actually was somewhat disappointed with Season Two EP 1. ALERT! Huge Spoiler.

Couple shockers were nice but that was pretty much it for this episode. Otherwise this was more about build up for the next episodes to come. My major problem is with character introduction that none of them looked interesting compared to Season 1, mostly because you weren't left with a choice to communicate with any of them freely. So now, you still don't have that bond with any of newly introduced characters. They all look fakish anyway compared to crew that we had in Season 1.

Secondly... this is personal but Clementine has gone through a drastic change. :cry: Remember her with Lee? Sweet little Clem doesn't exist anymore. She's a manipulative lying b now. At least the conversation choices you're left with make her so. Or maybe I just miss playing as Lee because you had that sense of desperate obligation to protect someone bad. Now you're playing as Lara Croft little version pretty much.

I'm playing Season One again. Will finish it, then get Season Two. But is there much importation from S1 decisions to S2?

Nah, not really. I would say difference should be minimal even if that was the case.

Because of the power of making your own choices in how the story unfolds.

I was a little disappointed with Episode 3 today as the choices you made that seemed to make a difference did not matter at all :cry:

Oh sorry Qballer, I thought you meant you bought season 2 ep1. I gave you season 1 spoilers above. LoL

Anyways, choices are there but you can't change the major plot line. :?

PS: 400 days, DLC is also worth looking into. It's pretty fun.

It has nothing to do with original story line whatsoever. But still a great movie-sque experience.

I've been playing Mortal Kombat on PS3 a fair bit. On a related note, I'm also swearing at my TV a lot more now as well.

Hard to let go of that 58 rated striker who consistently scores a goal for you every game even though you have a 75 rated striker just waiting until the 58 rated striker's contract runs out.

Just completed Batman: Arkham Origins. Not a bad game. It's just that the entire game map feels... empty. I also didn't experience any game-breaking glitch and save corruption, just a few twitchy things in animations.

Overall, it's an alright game. Story's good too.

I've been playing Dark Souls II since Thursday, I-cannot-stop-playing-it. I'm loving being able to dual wield effectively, and there is a variety in animations for about each weapon type... If only I could find another Katana, or uchi . . . with an awesome armor getup. Seriously, I don't bother wearing complete sets. Looks too unoriginal, I like to mix equipment up for that unique flavor.

Just picked up AssCreed 3 for $5 from Gamefly and Miasmata for $3 on GOG. Fuck me, I forgot how much I'd rather have games managed by steam than download gigs of installers, mistaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake. Picked up MK9 the other day too.

Playing Trials Frontier (mobile) until I get my evel knievel suit in Fusion. Other than that just bigh0rt's He's on Fire mod and some next gen 2K14 here and there. Tried playing Live, did a fantasy draft, goaltended the first possession and it crashed....so yea. Dabble in some The Golf Club every night before I goto sleep and Next Car Game for shits n giggles, and damn, that is a lot again...

Ass Creed 3 Steam code was $5 on Amazon like a month ago. And a Uplay version was on Gamersgate for the same like a week ago.

You can probably register that AssCreed code on Uplay? I assume? It would be dumb if you can't, so maybe I shouldn't assume?

I'm still on last gen PS3 games. I beat Beyond Two Souls just about today. Here's my thought.

Well... the game was kinda disappointing. I expected a lot but this one didn't even beat Heavy Rain despite the hype. Story's ok but hated how you go back and forth the timeline. It felt like a mess, no continuity but confusion, break of momentum/excitement. Gameplay? Non-existent. More so than the Heavy Rain. It's pretty much an interactive animation. Also I am kinda tired of playing as not so interesting woman characters. 'Remember Me' then this, cmon.

On positive side, I enjoyed it. The game is beautiful. Best I've seen for PS3 gen. And there were times where the game throws a hook and keeps you interested going forward. Voice acting and animation is top notch. Paid $20 so I'm happy. At $60, I'd have been pissed off though.
