I will stick with WW2 Online, and the devs are making a new product which will be free to play also. I just like killing the germans from the 1939-1945 era, if you know what I mean.

Ive now played the telltale walking dead game.......I enjoyed it.BUT there are some large hurdles to that enjoyment.The controls are basically none existent.Its setup to run like a console game..... shudder.....AND there is NO camera control,all views at all times are pre-determined.

Those two alone annoyed the piss out of me.

Then theres the gameplay.The game draws you in,immersing you in the world,and then forces you out of it to make decisions,timed decisions.Its easy to miss the chance to respond completely,simply because you were so immersed you didnt see the event happen,and then couldnt get re-adjusted to using the meager GUI to complete your choice before the timer ran out.

BUT,the gameplay and story are quite fun.And the choices at the very least give a real illusion of consequence.Does it really matter if you save npc A,and npc B dies because of it ?We dont know yet.We are told it will by the devs,and the game,but no sign of it yet.

Same with dialogue decisions.And you get plenty.And you get different responses based on your choices,but other than humorous replies,of which again there are plenty,there are few places where your choices seem to have a direct consequence.The bright side on this one, is that there are some readily apparent spots in this first episode where the dialogue and choice options do seem to have clear consequences.

Lastly,as the game is episodic ,you have waits between content AND episode one is in my opinion too short.

But again, that all said,I found it a fun game.Happy with the purchase.Enough to even cringe my way thru the radio sillyness........and keep going.

Yea the walking dead looks like a good game with a good story and it has zombies. But I dont think I could get over that gameplay style, It would piss me off with its limited ability, So I am just going to avoid it.

You should check EvE out. Its essentially one massive sandbox....in space! EVERYTHING in game that you use has been created by another player, it is easily the most immersive and complex game of its genre ive ever played

yea did not do my research on it. and the connection problems they are having are horrible. They have done allot of down time, and restarts forcing you to log out and back in causing areas you have cleared, to have to be recleared. I will say this is the worst aspect of the game. However being a classic diablo fan I just had to play it. The original is just so great me and a fried where retro gaming it last year.

I got two copies because my wife has been playing Diablo II since it came out. She's beaten it dozens of times. The opportunity for MP with my wife was something I couldn't pass up. There is certainly some good stuff in the game.

I've had LOTS of connection problems, very unimpressed. Some lag. Some auction house glitches.

Strangely, my connection problems stopped when I joined Public chat - general. No idea why.
