Another Contender For Worst Game of 2023

[@DeepfriedChips]

it's not just the developer being bad, they definitely are but franchise deals are also horrible because most of the time the franchise owners put really tight time limits

[@paing06]

Didn’t they make a tweet abt that being that they have to do a punch of projects in a certain time?

[@weebwarrior9727]

Isn’t this the exact same thing that happened with Atari and ET and ended up tanking the video games industry the first time?

[@housewilma4904]

hence why 99 percent of the time youll never hear about franchised or movie games any more there always rush to launch slop. it why the recent robocop game being just OK was giga mindblowing to the entire gamer community for being a exception.

[@Condorian_]

Ok, but why did they take TWO of them at the SAME time? It's basically just shooting yourself in the foot, twice!

[@hunterlonglegs]

Protogen :)

[@powwowken2760]

Gollum, Kong AND The Walking Dead all in one year... My conspiracy theory is that Nintendo paid off these developers so that people would look at Scarlet and Violet and think, "Maybe these aren't actually that bad".

[@PLNKYELLOWBLACK]

17:18 love how he was eaten by…nothing. There’s no zombie anywhere near him but he falls on his back like he was tackled

[@GamingDemon]

The game has a weird mechanic where you suffocate to death if you stand up in smoke lmao, The only way to not die is to either get out of the smoke or crouch, because crouching makes you not breath in the toxic fumes

[@HateshWarkio]

Yeah, every death is apparently coded as getting eaten by zombies So, the smoke suffocated him and then ate him, I guess

[@troydodson9641]

Mime gets an imaginary bite and actually turns

[@gamerman782]

Well, in case of fire, you are supposed to stay close to the ground so you don't breath in the smoke@@GamingDemon

[@furret8456]

​@@HateshWarkio nah mate the smoke particles are just extremely tiny zombies who decide to eat you when u are taller than their collective organism aka the smoke cloud

Don't disrespect SFM animations like that!

[@Romanthony2007]

I do like the idea of a Walking Dead game where you can change how the story plays out... But this was handled so poorly, and like how Kaif said the choices dont even matter and the cutscnes... Big L

[@dogninja0180]

It’s pretty much the telltale series but worse…..and they weren’t really great either

[@TheMasterUnity]

@@dogninja0180 True that the choices didn't matter too much in the long run, but it was offset by it's really great writing. Lee is still one of the best protagonists

[@dogninja0180]

@@TheMasterUnity season 1 and 4 are really good to me…..season 3 is okay minus that really bad choice in episode 4 that literally meant nothing and I hated season 2 for the sole reason of these grown ass adults were bitching and moaning and expecting an 11 year old to lead and solve their problems

[@TheMasterUnity]

@@dogninja0180 Season 2 was carried by Kenny and Luke for sure. Final fight should've been between them.

[@dogninja0180]

@@TheMasterUnity I liked Luke but he felt like wasted potential so much, if it was Kenny and Luke that fought it would have made the actual final choice so much more impactful…..I’m pretty sure most people let Kenny kill jane

[@Zer-ec4ly]

Calling the cutscene 'cutscene' is very generous. They're more slide show than anything else.

[@Corium1]

the cutscene looks like they left them in the blocking stage. this is amazing by how embarrassing it is

[@Haulvarn]

just realised: Around 2:30 when he has to get through that big horde to get to the tank... that's not an Abrams... that's not an american tank. That's a Leopard 2... why developer? Was that a free asset and the Abrams wasn't?

[@knightmareza9478]

Irs worse. If you look at the side view its an Abrams chassis with an attempt at an m60 turret that has no mantlet, just some texturing. Almost looks more like a tiger 2 in shame and the on the top was an oversized cupola on the m60 from the show, But they made it even bigger and stuck some kind of mg init

[@knightmareza9478]

Oh, wait, sorry, though you meant the tank from the prison fight. THAT thing is an abomination. But the one you pointed does indeed seem to a leopard 2. What that’s doing here is beyond me

[@blvalverde]

Must be a cheaper asset with less demand than an Abrams

[@Haulvarn]

@@knightmareza9478 damn, I see what you mean. I didn't make it to that part the first time. It looks almost like one of those old toy soldier tanks. You know those small green army men? They had tanks like that that were kinda just optical features of every tank in history cramped together xD

[@Gyrhoe]

At this point I'm kinda wondering if some companies got hired by the bigger ones that made a shit game just so they could make a shittier game and look better by comparison XD

[@gamerz1172]

The cutscenes feel like they were going for a comic book "minimal motion" style, the problem is that they are clearly unfinished even going off that

[@PrincelyDusty]

what sucks is the game honestly looks like it could legit be amazing if it was made by... any other company. And with less time restraint. Like the gameplay mechanics of "low hp leading to wrathful" was amazing. I love the "choose your own story" its just ruined by, well, them.

[@KameradeKitten]

The cutscenes arent even animated.... theyre just screenshots.. what the fuck 😭

[@hakuryu5874]

Honestly though, like it's just been companies we've never heard of without proven track records. I genuinely have no idea how they get a hold of these IPs.

[@Chaos_Senpai]

The custscenes remind me of infamous where they tried to make it like a comic book this game looks like they done it this way to hide up the poor animations

[@homelessmexican410]

I love Infamous thank you for reminding me of a childhood game of mine

Holy, thoose faces. Is that some walking dead "special" episode?

[@jakeking974]

I mean... Isn't the show just OVER without Carl? Like, sure, it'll continue for a while because he doesn't do anything important yet, but he's basically the lynchpin in the entire Negan resolution, so doesn't this mean everyone just becomes pseudo-slaves to the Saviors?

[@darklightningg]

6:34 soo i might be wrong but im pretty sure tires wouldn't screech if you drift on dirt but this is an apocalypse so i guess anything could happen

[@nadrewod999]

At 28:50, it looks like one of the Executive Producers lost a family member during the production of this game...

Wasn't expecting beanie-less Kaif in the beginning and that's neat, I like it

[@codysellers4151]

The Gollum likes are really showing up this year. What an inspiring new genre of video games.

[@captainhyperion2936]

Honestly I think if the game was somehow similar to Evil Within 1, it would be a solid good game with an alright story, good gameplay and nice graphics and since evil within 1 was focused a bit on conserving stuff, i think it'd fit walking dead nicely

[@Giaggyenot]

Did you play the evil within?

[@Giaggyenot]

Also the evil within is a 10 years old game. The AI is not great but still far better than this shame of a game. It s a bit like comparing the gollum game with shadow of mordor.

only thing i can say that is good about this game is that you can essentially create a "What If" version of the Walking Dead, which is actually really cool. but that's about it.

At this point, the developers probably know exactly what they're doing, right...? Surely, the PR of a game being this... what's the polite word... *rough,* is just better than putting ten times as much time into it?
