As you can probably see from many of the comments here: it is not worth getting. It is a boring, 3rd-rate story attached to a pseudo-interactive, boring bunch of click-throughs.

This kind of "gaming" is not to be encouraged. The production of these kind of "games" is not to be encouraged.

Just wondering what are your thoughts on "point and click" games such as the Sam and max games? I kinda agree because I'm personally not a fan of them but I know a few people who are so would disagree with you.

So the walking dead getting so many game of the year awards is wrong to you? that is a point and click game

Here's the thing we all have opinions i like LA Noire and you don't

That doesn't mean that the entire genre should be scrapped because you don't like it, there is a different between whether you dislike something and it is actually bad

I liked it. I can understand that it may not be to everyone's taste but I enjoyed being a detective and examining crime scenes. It was something a bit different and slower paced than most games and I liked that about it. It's been a while since I've played it but I do think I will play it again at some point.

The Walking Dead was awesome. Definitely deserved all those GOTA awards, IMO. Great story, great characters, etc.

LA Noire? Meh. I gave up on it once I'd finished the Homicide desk. Too repetitive, too dull, plus it was annoying being forced to arrest someone you knew was innocent.

Yes...

While TWD didn't deserve GOTY (that honor goes to Dishonored, of course)...

Here, you see, we have immediately a couple of people who recognize the difference between TWD and LA Noire (etc... btw):

TWD was actually a very good story; and well told; (and without so much pretense as the likes of LA Noire too).

TWD doesn't deserve to be GOTY, no. But it's alright. Because bringing that level of honestly enagaing story-telling into the realm is to be encouraged.

...

Sam and Max seemed more honestly a nice little set of puzzle-solving, old-school, less-than bloated and over-hyped games... but I haven't played them past episode 1 (or maybe 2?) as they were nice but basically mediocre up to that point and I had other games to move on to. I will probably revisit someday and catch-up?
