Oh my god that ending. Like, I thought this game sucked and was regretting my purchase despite being the hugest Telltale fanboy, but holy crap they loving stuck the landing.

Also I can't get over the horrible graphics and the horrible animations. Which is weird, because I thought Wolf and TWD2 looked pretty drat amazing. I even tried dicking around with hardware options to fix the aliasing but it didn't help. I love the environments, but it is super loving weird when things randomly drop their painterly effect for no reason. The stop-go animations are just hilarious by this point. Once you notice them it's impossible not to see and also it is impossible to have any sort of drama going on with what the marionette is doing. And oh my god the loving opening animation. Why would they do that why did they think that looked good.

That was a great episode. Even looked better than Ep 1. Seven loving Hells indeed.

Only complaint is that the game is rather disrespectful to passivity. Me just staring the rear end in a top hat down as he's blocking the steps leads to YOUR SISTER HAD TO PROTECT YOU. Being sane about the betrothal prospects to your supposed inner council was THEY NOTICED YOU LACK CONFIDENCE. I took the beating for the guy who stole the dagger without ratting him out or swinging at the big bastard and still got lectured by Jon.

Favorite part was getting to be horrible to Mira's companion.

This game is absurd. Like, everything about it. I can't even put together much of a cohesive thought about this last episode. It's just so much nonsense. Totally agree with the guy who's just deciding things on how much chaos they sew.

My favorite part is Gary's deadpan 'he's a wildling' confiding in the Brute followed by the latter's immediate freakout and then lonely lonely Charlie Brown torch duty. Just an immediate 'Well that's going to go poorly' moment.

PS the traitor is totally the dude with the scars. He should have died at the end of the episode when I ordered him to attack but didn't. That's because he is a spaehy.

My logic was that at the very least it's an envelope with the royal seal on it and your name, and you should be able to find some use for that. Burning it seemed dumb. I didn't even know that was what I was trying to do, much less why Tom would care about not.

Seriously the only way for it not to be totally braindead stupid and contrived is for it to be the Maester

It also explains why him telling Evil Spazz not to shred the hurt dude's arm in half actually gets the guy to stop. I'd rather it be dumb and be a family member instead of dumb and some schmuck that's had two lines in the last two episodes.

There's no real way the spy isn't the maester. He asks the badguy to maybe not completely shred your dude's arm off and instead of provoking him to do it he listens to the maester. That's like the single thing he even does this episode, like it was included just to remind you he exists. Also the mother acting suspicious *immediately* after you find out there is a spy is waaaaay too on the nose.

Would still like it if it were Duncan or Royland.

Next Time on Game Of Thrones:

'You're not listening'
'Shhh'
*Pan around trees*
*FADE TO BLACK*

Hey yo this game kinda sucks.

This game is great you guys.

Yes this.

I laughed my way through most of it. Bro Crow dying is the cheapest thing in the world. OH HEY THERE WAS A CHOICE NOT TO TAKE HIM LAST EPISODE BETTER TIE A BOW ON THAT poo poo REAL FAST. Cersei's walk animation was hilarious. So was Asher jumping. So was convincing the fighters to come with by promising them ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Also antagonizing uncle for staying with Queen Dumb Dumb. Everything about this episode was hilarious.

Ramsey pinky promising not to show up in the last episode annoyed me because all the times when he shows up and kills people I don't remember who are and then lets me choose to continue the cutscene are hilarious.

On one hand I seriously loving hate this game. But on the other it is really loving fun and there is no part of it I don't like. A++ would seduce lady after skirting blame for getting her brother(???) killed again.

Can someone just say it is worth playing through? I've basically spent the last three years playing Telltale's stuff the moment it came out and I can't even think of when I would bother trying to play this last episode I'm so checked out.

As much as I loving hated the season, really ended up liking the episode. The ending was dope as gently caress, would buy the sequel.

They finally got the painterly poo poo to look halfway decent.

Like, whatever. I accepted that there wasn't going to be a good conclusion to this poo poo long ago. What the gently caress was that guy in the north doing? Sure Mira accomplished nothing but what the gently caress did that guy do?

This episode gave me Ser Royland being a badass, Asher being a badass, and that black lady being a badass. I'm not sure I wanted more.

I walked away to go take a piss when the game prompted me to kneel for Mira's execution. Got back to see the swing because it railroads you eventually.

That was the best part of the game. Like I failed at least half the button prompts and it still continued just the same. Because who the gently caress cares. Your interaction is not needed.

Seriously, this episode almost redeemed the season in my eyes. Like it isn't good. But this was fun. I bet if the rest of the game was just switching between Asher, Geralt, and Mira it would have been much more better.

The fail states in Telltale games have always been utterly horrible, so yea kinda? If there was something interesting to happen other than game-overing I'd be fine with it, but otherwise gently caress ruining the scene just continue anyway.

I checked out the moment it asked me to choose between rescuing Beshka from a dragon or your Uncle from Some Random Guy.

It's like, great, I'm going to go fight a dragon and this jackass is going to lord it over me forever.

This game felt so much like a satire of Telltale's other poo poo. Remember when they gave you a choice of whether or not to steal Margaery's seal?
