To do it right though they'll probably want to let Bella Ramsey grow up a bit. I mean Bella Ramsey is the same age now as Ellie was in the 2nd one. Probably just need to get her a bit training and get rid of the loose clothing by the time season 2 starts shooting. 28 minutes ago, Arthur Morgan said: The story in the second one is insane, would make amazing TV imo. Hopefully that will be season 2? I mean it definitely will be but they've already hinted it'd probably only cover part of it as there's far more story so sounds like 2 and 3 at a minimum. How they split that up will be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantjambo Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 They need to get the infected included more. Four episodes in and, other than the clickers in episode 2, they’ve been pretty much MIA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack D and coke Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 1 hour ago, Lord BJ said: Sure have, played it before the first. Found the first a better game tbh. The second was so dark at times it felt little more than a button mash in the pitch black. I don’t really care for storylines in games. I’m just trying to skip cut scenes to get to the killing. I don’t get the fuss about the game or the show. Each to their own I guess. I tend to skip cut scenes but not in that. I found the first game much more linear with narrower corridors to move down. Aye each to their own I suppose. Im not getting the fuss with the tv show I’ll say that. It’s all pretty lame so far for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFK-1 Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 For all of you who prefer action type constant shooting games some think the success of this show is going to change gaming. The big game producers will try to copy this formula to then create spin off shows of their own. It's what always happens across multi media, if a film is a roaring success then they try to repeat that same formula, over and over. The gaming world thinks this formula will go down the same path.

I wasn't pulling you up for the use of the word Zombie. My point was that you said the Zombie genre might not be your thing. Which is fair enough. And that in my opinion the story here doesn't really revolve around them unlike say, the Walking Dead, where it's very much about fighting them and trying to control areas to keep them out. The TV show so far has barely had any Zombie scenes. Edited February 9, 2023 by hughesie27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swanny17 Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Never played the game so this is all new to me. Things that bug me: It’s been 20 years since the 1st outbreak so how come all of their clothes look so new? How come their teeth look so healthy? Who is making bread for the sandwich? How is there electricity? Where are the batteries being made for their torches? The bullets for their guns? 🫣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan_R Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 It's well made. Well acted. Maybe they are playing the long game knowing it will get more seasons... But (as a non-gamer) I'm starting to think it's just going to be overhype. We are almost half way in the series and it's fine but it's hardly moved. So far I'd compare it to 4 filler episodes of walking dead. I'll stick with it but I suspect it will live off of fanboys of the game. My mates raving about it so far trying to tell me its a social commentary etc. While that may be true of the game I'm not seeing it so far in the TV series.
