Anyone else playing this besides me and Boc? Figure I throw up a thread since I'm now officially not the only one. For those of you in TWD withdrawals, this is a good alternative.

This is a Telltale game in the same exact format and art style as The Walking Dead Game. The story changes based off the decisions you make in dialogue and quick-action sequences. You play as the Big Bad Wolf as a detective in a town filled with characters from various stories, fables and nursery rhymes. Not usually my type of game, but it's pretty cool how dark, gritty and gory it is considering the subject matter. And it's still classic Telltale by fucking with your mind. Not quite as depressing as TWD... mercifully. But it definitely fucks with you.

I'm about to download and play Episode 3 in a minute. Choices so far:

Episode 1	+
- I gave money to Faith - I stayed neutral with Beauty and Beast - I went to help Toad before the Prince - I didn't prevent Prince Lawrence's death... there's no statistic for this so I'm not sure if that's actually a "choice" - I suspected the Tweedles, more or less out of rage cause I hate them. - I arrested Tweedle Dee over the Woodsman

Episode 2	+
- I sympathized with Crane - I beat ever loving shit out of Dee in the interrogation room. No regrets. - I let Snow make her own decision - I didn't hit Georgie - I didn't hit Beast more than once

Overall	+
Kinda like Boc said in the GYRP thread, I've been a gigantic dick to everyone so far just because I feel more powerful being both a strong character and an authority figure. Snow has endeared me in a way though so when it comes to her, I've been leaning towards the softer side. Her constantly berating me for being so violent to Dee is probably what made me go soft for Georgie Porgie and Beast.

Was actually thinking about playing Episode 2 tonight! tbh I thought the first episode was stronger than TWD's first, though I definitely don't expect the series as a whole to top that. I really like the action stuff in this, it's a lot smoother than TWD (though it looks like they carried a lot of this over to TWD S2). The chase scenes through the buildings where you're jumping through windows and shit are a ton of fun

Episode 1 choices

+

I made all those same choices except I lied for Beauty and I suspected the PIMP. Although after the ending I'm starting to think it might be this mysterious Bluebeard fellow And I also took almost all of the violent choices (: I punched Tweedledee in the face, I smashed a whisky glass over the Woodsman's head after his intimate confession, and I tore that fucker Grendel's arm off. Which as I said before is weird because in TWD I made magnanimous choices for the most part. I think the extra POWER gets to my HEAD!! Probably my most dastardly choice though was refusing to give the pig a drink of water, twice. He let me know how much he hates me before slinking off in defeat

Will eventually buy when i finish some of my other games. Sounds interesting

Holy fuck. Just finished 3 and I would say it's definitely on TWD's level at this point.

Choices & Thoughts

I vowed to try to be a little bit more passive in this episode after getting yelled at so much for the violent interrogation. lolnope. - I let Snow finish the eulogy. Saw really no reason to interrupt it and make Gren/Holly even more pissed at me. - I investigated the Trip Trap Bar first as I figured that'd lead me right to the witch through Lily's belongings. - I offered Flycatcher a job for the hell of it. I was a bit of a dick to him though. 96 fucking percent of people did this, that's the biggest landslide for any choice in a Telltale game I've ever seen. Wut. Now where I go into asshole mode... - Burned the fuck out of Greenleaf's tree. Yeah, she gave me the location but after what happened with Bluebeard, I didn't want to just find that it was a ruse and then Greenleaf does something terrible with that tree that I could have prevented. Besides, what she was doing was illegal and causing a bunch of shit for the town anyway. Tree had to go and the 80% that kept it are pussies. - I fucking tore Tweedle Dum's throat out and I have no god damned regrets over it. Fuck that guy and fuck the Tweedle's. I know when I did it was the bad decision and it's definitely going to come back to haunt me. But whatever. I hate them and have since the first episode. Can't wait to kill that stupid bitch that shot me. The lack of Mr. Toad in this episode kind of saddened me but other than that, the best episode to date.

o shit

Oh god I just found out Dave Fennoy is playing Bluebeard, I knew he sounded familiar. Funny he's playing such an asshole after winning everyone's hearts over as Lee.

Damnit, I stopped after 1 because I wanted the chapters to get released. I might start them once more soon though >_>

Any idea how many chapters there will be?

I dont think I could wait if I got into this and I think buying the whole set would be better :P

Same with walking dead s2 if ya know

There will be five, but yeah they've been ridiculously slow with this one. I think the first chapter was released around Halloween.

Finished Episode 4. That feels like it came out really quick. Anyway:

Spoiler

Not as good as last episode, but still interesting nonetheless. This one was very dialogue driven with not so much action aside from the pawn shop fight, but the story is unraveling and the big revelation of the Crooked Man was a great way to get pumped for the finale. Seems this one was mainly testing your morals and how well you could keep your word since you were making a LOT of promises to a lot of different people. I promised Colin and Toad both they didn't have to go to the farm, told Beauty not to worry about the Crooked Man, told Johann the same thing, told Narissa I would never mention her magic ribbon to anyone, and I'm probably forgetting a bunch more. I have a feeling that's going to bite me big time in the next episode or lead to someone's death, but I guess we'll see. I know I really should be HARSHER seeing as I'm the sheriff and all. But I've gotten very soft. I've warmed up to a lot of these characters over these past 4 episodes. That opening scene where you pop your bone back in was fucking awful. I hate scenes like that. Clem stitching her wound in the first episode of TWD S2 gave me a similar reaction. Decisions: - Didn't send Colin to the farm. Surprised I was in the mass minority for that! - I didn't try to take Nerissa's ribbon mainly cause I didn't think she'd let me anyway. - I went to the Pawn Shop first as it seemed like a bigger lead. - I didn't send Toad to the farm. In fact I specifically stole money from Crane's jacket in the previous segment so that when I ran into Toad again, I could give it to him. And that's exactly what I did. Toad's one of my favorite character's and his interactions with Bigby are priceless. Once again, I'm shocked I was in the minority for that! - I lit a cigarette when the Crooked Man told me to sit down, just cause I figured that's something Bigby would do.

Oh shit it's out?

I hope they release Episode 4 of TWD S2 that quickly (:

Finale's out next week! GET HYPE
