The Wolf Among Us

[NoCalMike]

Just finished Episode 1 of The Wolf Among Us....it is fantastic. I love the noir vibe, the characters and the execution makes everything you do feel not quite good enough when it comes to trying to solve the mystery. Just excellent stuff.

I loved it too. No one else talked about it so I just let it pass...but it was just full of interesting developed characters and a great overall feel.

 

[NoCalMike]

Yeah I had it downloaded for awhile, everytime I went to play it something pulled me away. It was very fun. Highly recommended.

Wolf among us episode 1 is free on xbox live arcade until 12/31. I loved it (and where the hell is episode 2?) and you can't beat free.

Episode 2 is supposed to arrive "after the holidays."

 

[bps21]

I hope this isn't a sign of things to come as their workload doubles again. When it was just walking dead episodes were monthly. Ow there are two and it's going to be at least 3 months between episodes for this. How long will it take when they're steeped in game of thrones and borderlands?

 

[vivisectvi]

FWIW, there was a two month window between episodes 2 and 3 in season 1 of The Walking Dead. That being said, I am willing to bet that the two series are done by different teams since they increased their staff to 125 after the success of TWD..

 

[bps21]

Huh it says there was a two month gap between most of them. It didn't seem that long.

First episode is free on XBLA right now.

 

[NoCalMike]

When TWD was released it was originally supposed to be a new episode every month, and that didn't last at all. So I wouldn't count on a timely releasing of episodes in 2014, though the bitch of it is they are so goddamn good that I will still be there to swoop them up regardless.

Really loved it. If I had this was "Fables" related I'd have played this a long time ago since I love the comics so much. Really looking forward to seeing where it goes.

Thanks for the heads up, PK. I've been wanting to check this out, got the free download going right now.

 

[KingPK]

The season pass is 33% off as today's XBL deal. Microsoft is smart. That's basically two free episodes.

 

[AnonymousBroccoli]

Considering that the season pass gave you a free episode to begin with, you're getting all 5 episodes for the price of 2.

 

[bps21]

I'm glad people are playing this now. I really think its high quality work that seemed to be falling under the radar.

Considering that the season pass gave you a free episode to begin with, you're getting all 5 episodes for the price of 2.

The shit thing about the Season Pass for this game was that it came out about a week after the first episode for $20.. and there was no indication that there even would be a season pass. So by that point I'd be spending $25 either way on the game. =\

 

[muzzington]

Roughly how long is the first episode to play through?

 

[KingPK]

About 2 hours.

Just finished Ep. 1. The little fairy tale nods all over the place were nice. I'm intrigued by the story and I hope the second episode completely hooks me like TWD did.

First week of February.

 

[NoCalMike]

Just saw that on twitter. Kind of glad I played the 1st episode so late into it's cycle, cause I think this one, even moreso than TWD game, is better if you don't have such a big memory gap between episodes.

Can't wait!

 

[vivisectvi]

The Season Pass is also really cheap/on sale on PSN right now, too. Works out to a savings even though I bought Episode 1 on it's own.

Can't wait.

Episode 2 drops Tuesday: http://www.joystiq.com/2014/02/01/telltales-the-wolf-among-us-episode-2-to-be-among-us-february-4/

Anyone play Episode Two yet?

It was pretty good, but thought it loss some steam with the

Spoiler

Snow White

reveal. It feels like the story is trying to push you towards bringing some redemption to the Bigby character, but then I usually say F-that and smash things.

I had a suspicion on the

Spoiler

Ichabod Crane

character and wondered if

Spoiler

the Headless Horseman

will be the one behind the murders.

 

[KingPK]

I'm not as hooked in as I was with TWD after two episodes, but I'm warming up to it. Bigby's reputation seems to procede him, so I'm trying to use that to my advantage by intimidation rather than just beating on someone for info.

Is it me, or does Toad Jr. sound a LOT like Clementine? EDIT: My Google Fu reveals that it is indeed the same voice actress. Apparently Lee's is in here too.

 

[BlackFlagg]

Episode 3 is up and Steam has the full season on sale for $14.99
