The Walking Dead

[Lemur]

Played it, liked it a great deal. Updated video drivers, and now it won't launch no matter how I tweak it.

Seems to be a very common problem -- app is as fragile as an alcoholic Southern woman who gets by on the kindness of strangers.

I loved the game when i first played it. Then I replayed it thinking I'd make different choices and see how the storyline branches..... Except it doesn't. You're forced into all the important choices and the only real ones you can make have no meaningful impact on the storyline. Once the proverbial curtain was pulled back, I lost a lot of respect for this game.

Sure, it has a compelling storyline- but any linear game that doesn't would be considered a complete failure. Where they do excel is in funneling you towards making the correct "decision" without making you feel like the choice is being taken from you... which in hindsight, it pretty much is. I guess the same thing that made me love it the first time thru is what made me hate it when I tried to replay it.

Hrm, that's worrying to hear, I'll keep my high regards by not replaying then.
