Let's Sperg Walking Dead: destinies discussion thread

[Vibe_Guy]

I haven't played this game so I didn't earn the right to completely shit on a game made by a modern dev company sweatshop.

It's been out for a month and neither journalists, reviewers nor vidya consumers like this thrash fire.

What happened? Why release shovel ware and market it as a AAA title? Was the lead developer clinically depressed?

The game has been criticized a lot. Only nice thing I've heard said about it in a review is that it allows you to take some events from the show and change the outcome of them.

The question answers itself.

No surprise the company is called "Gamemill", the masterminds behind the hit games: Rapala Fishing pro series, Deer hunter: reloaded, Disney's Frozen: Olafs quest, Hotel Transilvania and Zhu zhu quest. We get this international phenomenon of peak game design The walking dead: destinies

Truly the game of all time

Really, the twist is that the surviving humans are the real monsters.

Gaming is so shit that the worst gaming trends of the past (shitty brand tie-in games, bad original games, shovelware indies) are making a comeback because of clueless retards flooding the market.

No, I played the game. The twist is that the people who worked on this game saw the finished product and thought it would be a hit for fans of the TV shows and zombie genre.

Walking Dead must be on it's last legs for some time. Everyone stopped watching after like season 3 or 4. Die-hard fans are not wathcing it anymore too, as I recall.
Same with the Fear the Walking dead. It starts good, in my opinion, first season is devoted to the events during the actual apocalypse. After that it devolves into the same boring Walking Dead.
The game is an attempt at swindling a few bucks off the fans and clueless bystanders while the franchise has some steam left.
Tales of the Walking Dead is good, I liked it. But it's because they've completly changed the formula- every episode is a separate story with the separate characters. Like Twilight zone, only with zombies.

Why release shovel ware and market it as a AAA title?

Because anyone who still cares enough about the Walking Dead is a retard and would probably buy this trash.

Also I don't think any team comes in going "Yeah let's make a turkey!" One of the best games this year is Robocop Rogue City and it was made by a small studio on a relatively small budget. What separates Rogue City from a shitty Walking Dead tie in? Good management, a studio knowing what it was doing and having a clear vision. These things don't come easy.
