So I haven't really ever watched the show. I don't think I'm going to but, I wanna know if I should play the game Walking Dead Season 1? Will it be fun?

walking dead season 1 has nothing to do with the show whatsoever.

EDIT: forgot there are 1-2 characters in the show that appeared in the TV show but that's about it

Yeah, there are small references at best. It's meant to be a separate story in the same world and I like it that way.

It's still well worth playing. Don't mistake their separate existence as being a bad thing. You get an incredible story where it feels like your choices really matter.

There's a reason my steam profile picture is of the two main characters from that game. I freaking loved every minute of it. Play it.

That's a quote out of context. I said it feels like your choices matter.

And actually, compared to most games, they do. Even if it's only for a little while.

The stories take place in the same world, but are unrelated and standalone.
You're fine playing the games before watching the TV program, nothing will be spoiled. :)

Ew. Poor jashjacob.

Ya, what makes the TWD adventure series so good is that the story is original. The emotional impact of directing avatars from the original graphic novel/comic isn't as impactful as new characters whom you control, whom have unknown fates--even when (in the case of S1) your choices aren't super important.

TWD the adventure game drew people in with emotional impact and that was done most effectively with originals.

Yippy skippy!

P.S. Just read a plot summary on Wikipedia if you want to skip parts of the TV show :p

Yep, it will :) The game and the show just take place in the same universe. More than that, the game is based on the comics, not on the TV show (unlike Game of Thrones).

Only the newest Walking Dead game, the one with Michonne, is based on the comics. The Walking Dead Seasons 1 and 2 games are completely different from the show or comics.

yes. I never saw the show and its one of my favorite games. You will understand it completely and it has different characters and story then the show.

If my memory serves me, the very first episode actually features Glenn and Herschel, but they are not portrayed as the characters of the show (as Telltale Michonne doesn't equal TV Michonne).

Yeah exactly. When you play the game, that are just introduced as small characters in the game and you don't have to have any knowledge of them. Thats the great thing about Telltale, you can play any of their games as a newbie to the universe

As I've already mentioned in this thread, except for Game of Thrones. They understand that there are a lot of people that have never read Fables, played Borderlands or watched The Walking Dead, but Game of Thrones is tailored for show viewers and them only.

I haven't played that one yet so I appreciate the heads up (since I havent started the show yet)

(as Telltale Michonne doesn't equal TV Michonne).

Michonne is actually a (canon?) side-adventure from the comic-books, so it's meant to tie directly into them, rather than the TV show. :)

definitely! The storyline stands on its own, even if someone is completely unfamiliar with the series.
So playing it does not ruin the TV show at all.

Enjoy!

Never saw the show, have played both season, enjoyed it. As far as i heard, the story doesn't require knowledge about the series, therefore start playing and enjoy :)

The game's actually based on the comics, not the show. But the characters are (almost) all original.
