The Video/PC Game Discussion Thread

I'm crossing my fingers that them making it a standalone means they're using a different engine instead of the outdated one they forced on the base game. But given the current debacle with the beta patch (which I seem to be the only one affected by) I wouldn't bet on anything either. 

I've always avoided it before, but the Morrowind expansion to The Elder Scrolls Online is making me consider getting that game.

Or I might just reinstall the original. Anyone here ever play TESO and can recommend it (or not?).

^Without going into spoilers, let's just say they made some very controversial choices with that one that pissed a lot of fans off. I was a bit disappointed with a couple things, but in the long run it didn't bug me much, and I actually thought it was a better, more focused season than season 2 overall, though still not as good as the first one. 

The game actually has a system for allowing you to recreate your choices from previous seasons before you start playing, btw. Though it probably wouldn't hurt to re-play season 2 if you don't remember it well enough, which is what I did. Honestly, I wouldn't stress out too much over importing choices, because without spoiling, that's kinda the area that caused people to get pissed off. (Not the importing system, but rather how previous choices are implemented within season 3 itself.)

No, you definitely do get different scenes based on your choices. But that's really all I can say at this point, unless you specifically want to know what the problem is. 

Okay, so in case you don't remember, the big choice at the end of season 2 is who Clementine ends up with, or if she goes on her own. Well, from what I understand if you have her go on her own, you probably won't be effected too much. But if you her go with either Kenny or Jane, you'll see them die unceremoniously in a flashback in episode 1 of A New Frontier. That's the big thing that pissed people off, which I can kinda agree with, though in the long run I wasn't too annoyed. The other thing is, some were pissed off because while Clem is still a major character, she's not the main character this time, though I was fine with that. 

The Wolf Among Us is probably my favorite Telltale game to date, so I'd definitely recommend it. I keep hoping they'll give it a second season, but it does work great as a stand alone (plus, apparently it's a prequel to a comic book, so maybe a second season would be hard to pull off.)

I grabbed Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning off the Steam sale, along with all its DLC. It's a game I remember playing years ago on the Xbox 360, but never could finish it because I managed to sequence break it in such a way that it was impossible to advance the plot any further, and I hadn't been keeping backup saves, so I was completely screwed. To make it even worse, that was like 65 hours into the game, so I think it was near the end, and at the time I only had the base game.

Just finished my replay of the first Telltale The Walking Dead season + 400 days. Now onto season two.
