Aside from a cameo by Glenn, this is entirely separate from the show. And it's all the better for that.

Is the compendium a hardcover?

Nope.

From Gamestop's product details : Featuring cover art exclusive to the Collector's Edition, this is the first 48 issues of the fan-favorite, New York Times Best Seller series collected into one massive paperback collection! Over one thousand pages chronicle the beginning of Robert Kirkman's Eisner Award-winning continuing story of survival horror- from Rick Grimes waking up alone in hospital, to him and his family seeking solace on Hershel's farm, and the controversial introduction of Woodbury despot: The Governor.

Man went to gamestop and they told me the minimum deposit for collector editions are 25.00. Wow they went up use to be like 5.00 or 10.00

Woah, tell us how you really feel. Book is 35 and the game is 30, so ur paying an extra $5 bucks for the exclusive cover/art I guess.

LMFAO one of the worst games of all-time? C'mon Slowdance, we all know you like to take the unpopular opinion route, but get real.

This was exactly the thought that came to me. New game sales don't make them much money at all, they just increase traffic to their site and stores.

Wow, not to start a pointless fight, but good grief, a lot of folks love this game.
Worst games of the year? Come on, did you even play it?
Great story, choices that mean something, I thought it was one of the best games all year.

That being said this is to expensive for what you get.

Can you please go be an idiot in some other thread?

One of the very few games that received both critical and commercial praise, and was a massive success this year
Pathetic? Come on seriously, you're straight trolling now. This game crossed boundaries for a lotta people. Even folks who were strictly dude bro shooter guys were getting into this.

No way you played this.

It's still $5 for a standard edition but the deposit for a CE went up to $25 in late March/early April. Basically GS is trying to stop having a glut of CE sitting in stores waiting to be marked down to nothing prices before anyone looks at them.

Of course there's still a bunch of stores sitting on the SF 25th Collection 7 weeks after release when GS marks it down $50 and I can't get an adjustment anymore, grrr.

Also if you don't like Walking Dead, that's fine you can have an opinion. But don't say it's a terrible game when it's not, just you don't like it.

Lots of people loved Dishonored, and I hated the combat and traded it in right after getting it with B2G1F on BF. After being roasted 13 straight deaths by the guys in the first side mission in the brewery where you're supposed to poison the booze and these guys go Skyrim dragon breath on you as soon as they see you I said F this and traded it in.

Lol, so you hated it , yet continued to download three more painful, boring episodes and play through them?
You trooper you.

How is it not interactive? Please explain.

If all you want is gameplay, then The Walking Dead is admittedly not for you. But it is one of the most powerful and emotionally moving games I have ever played. It gave me experiences I never imagined I'd get out of a game. The last moments of Episode 5 are going to stick with me for a while.

This was easily one of the best experiences in gaming I've ever had.

It is interactive in the sense that one of these is interactive:



That said, I wouldn't call it a bad game. It's certainly lacking in the traditional game play elements you'd expect in an adventure game but the writing is excellent.

Originally Posted by gepet0 Good to know. I am waiting for the street fighter markdown myself. Also everyone I talk to and most rpint articles all praised the walking dead game so I find it funny at all the comments. It is like they are talking about another game.

It's down to $100 right now, I guess you can wait to see if it goes lower.

Just a quick heads up...

The 360 version of this is no longer available. PS3 is still up for time being...

If you were on the fence you might want to jump on it.

So does anyone have an idea which console would be a better fit for this? I'm considering preordering the standard edition, but I'd appreciate a heads-up on whether it's better on either system.

The SF 25th is down to $50?! Instore or something?

No no no...they marked it down by $50 to $99.99 from $149.99.

Deep breaths...
