The Wolf Among Us (Telltale Games)

Yeah the choices were there, but the consequences weren't. If you chose something they liked, they'd give a awkward smile or sneer if they didn't. The worst that happens is somebody doesn't have your back in a time of need, which effects nothing really as Lee can take care of himself. It has the same level of diversity as Mass Effect or Dragon Age, which is great but with the nature of adventure games like these, there doesn't seem to be any reason that they couldn't include 3+ different storylines depending on your choices, completely different areas, hundreds of characters etc.

I'm not hating, I think their games are superb, I just think that with the extreme simplicity to their games mechanics they should start to include tons of different paths that leads to completely different content all the way through their games.

I'm really enjoying this!

The voices, the choices, the way it comes across as a great animated story of our fables but in a dark adult way

First episode was great! It was paced so well and ended beautifully.

Was really hoping Snow wouldn't get killed, kind of wanted a duo investigation team of Wolf/Snow

I agree with you. I also didn't like how you're forced to hit the frog!

You're not? I've played through twice and not had to hit him either time

Hmm, well I've only played through once, I must have missed something. Though I'm sure I tried every dialog option and nothing happened until I hit him.

Woaa, that ending!

But seriously short episode

Two hours is about standard if you explore everything, I think a 10 hour game these days is pretty good for the money.

Did you find all the clues? Catch him out in the lies? I also didn't have to hit him.

I think I caught him lying twice. Once with the window/door and once with foot/hand. Did I miss something? I'll just replay that bit I think.

The lamp is another clue, I caught all his lies which is probably why I didn't have to hit him

I managed to catch him in two lies, he talked himself out of a third and I didn't have to hit him.

Really enjoyed this. So far I think its better than walking dead. It also spurred me on to restarting walking dead so I did the first chapter of that today aswell.

The only lie I caught him for was the lamp and it still gave me the option to hit him

I got the option to hit him but it was the second, first was call him out on his lies to tell the truth

nice look forward to this but will only play it when all episodes are released. Played TWD like this and was epic

FutileBreadMachine · 21 Dec 2013 at 21:23

Just finished the first episode. Very dark game, but very cool! The performance on the 360 is terrible in places though. It lags and freezes a lot.

Pighardia · 11 Jan 2014 at 21:54

I just finished episode one and thought it was great. I am a bit disappointed that, as in TWD, they seem to think it has to be really bleak....I find it pretty tedious tbh. The end was not surprising in the least!

I didn't have to hit Toad at all. I caught him on 3 lies, and intimidated him a bit. I also went to him first.

Just to let people know episode 2 "Smoke & Mirrors" is due to be releases on the 4th of February

aceytrixx · 3 Feb 2014 at 17:48

Can't wait for episode 2. After the fiasco of the walking dead 1 on ps3 I said I was going to wait but this one suckered me in and again it's a longer than expected delay. Hopefully they will be more frequent from here on out.

Really enjoyed episode 1, I hope they release the remaining episodes on regular basis from now on though..

I'd only let them off if they delayed it for the Game of Thrones game they are doing
