#Gary Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Is it just me or was ep 5 a LOT shorter than the others? It was good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Thompson Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Just started episode 5. The end of 4 and the beginning of 5 are a big improvement on the earlier ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Thompson Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Have Mira/Rodrick/Gared done anything yet by that point? No / God yes / yes The Mira plot line in Kings Landing is definitely the weakest of the lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antti Niemi Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 From (notoriously kind) gaming journos: http://uk.ign.com/articles/2015/11/17/game-of-thrones-episode-6-the-ice-dragon-review- "Okay, unsatisfying" http://www.pushsquare.com/reviews/ps4/game_of_thrones_episode_6_-_the_ice_dragon- "Weak, average" http://gamerant.com/game-of-thrones-episode-6-review/ http://www.gamezebo.com/2015/11/20/telltales-gameo-end-in-sight/ http://www.godisageek.com/reviews/game-of-thrones-episode-6-review/ The reaction on reddit, other forums etc. has been much less forgiving.

The Saintee Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I started playing this. Haven't downloaded the last two episodes as I got fed up with it tbh. I couldn't escape the feeling that no matter what I did it was going to end up shit for the Forresters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SramTon Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Average score for a game in reviews is about 8. Checked this for my own interest. Average scores for Xbox games vary per publication (as recorded on Metacritic) from 87% to 57%. The median average between publications is 73/74%. Ep6 of GoT is currently sitting on 89% on Metacritic, btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thistle_do_nicely Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Not sure if I'll get the second season of this tbh. The quality of each episode varies immensely, the wait time between episodes is absolutely huge considering you can rifle through an episode in a couple of hours at most, I loathed all the shoehorning in of canon GoT characters (honestly; it frustrated me that rather than sparingly using characters so that interacting with them felt special, it was almost constantly "Oh hey, QUEEN CERCEI would like to talk to you - but not until you've had a chat with TYRION LANNISTER first though!" in Kings Landing followed by "JON SNOW will see you now" at the wall and so on and so on; making it a squabble between two minor houses is fine and makes sense, as it gives leeway to flesh out their own characters with that SoiaF flavour while creating their own plotlines against a backdrop of whats happening elsewhere), making Ramsay a major antagonist is pointless if you're up to speed with how the canon goes, the choices tend to be pretty cosmetic at best (although one choice in the penultimate episode, near the end, was interesting because it was a way to kind of choose your own narrative - I picked what felt more satisfying to me, personally, but it was a tricky choice) but really its rather linear because there's only so much "branching out" your choices can do before they have to hit a reset button and bring all players up to broadly the same point... I don't know how to explain it... I like *some* of what they're trying to do, but games like this live and die by how much impact player choices really have on the game as a whole, and what I found with this and TWD Season Two is that the choices don't make a jot of difference apart from the choices made in the very last episode.
