The Walking Dead games - which ones are the best?

Post Reply New Topic

Oh I think she actually has two bonus games in RE4. "Assignment Ada" and "Seperate Ways".

Assignment Ada is pretty short and she wears a black tactical jumpsuit and is given limited guns while she inflitrates the island laboratory to steal a number of samples of the plagas parasite before calling for an escape helicopter. It's basically like the "Leech Hunter" mini game in Resident Evil 0.

Seperate Ways on the other hand is a story driven game. Although shorter than the main game itself involving Leon's mission to rescue Ashley, it ties Ada's role behind the scenes while Leon was off doing his own thing pretty well. It also does a rather interesting job of showing the stuff in the game from Ada's own perspective. For example examining certain background stuff like the dirty beddings in the villager's homes reveals how Ada really looks down on their lack of hygiene by saying "I would never let such filth touch my skin!" Also if she ever accidently shoots a treasure item that falls into one of the dirty water wells she will outright refuse to pick it up and sell it, unlike Leon.

I guess Ada really looks down anything dirty and unlike Leon she really has no sympathy at all for those villagers under control of the plagas parasite.

I think i read somewhere that Ada was described by the developers as having a "limited concious". I mean she worked for the badguys and knew what they were doing with those illegal bioweapon viruses and parasites she stole for her employers, and yet after meeting Leon something about him changed her and she became like a sort of guardian angel for him even though she would still use and betray him at times (but never left him to outright die).

I think that the best quote that sums up Ada's character in the second game was when she got wounded badly and Leon wanted to help her. She insists he needs to escape without her and in a rare moment of sincerity on her part tells him "I know I'm not capable of caring about anybody, but I don't want to lose you."

I thought you knew he murdered good old Abe in cold blood. And he was such a likeable character, just like Glen. As for Negan's name, I never encountered a similar name before. In Poland practically EVERYBODY (myself including) has a very common name, you can't make up new names unlike it happens in English speaking countries. You can give your child an uncommon name of course (like Michał Wiśniewski, that eccentric singer who gave his 6 or seven kids veeeery uncommon and veeeery pretensious foreign names) but you rather can't make up new ones.

Yeah, I think Separate Ways is the one I'm remembering.


Nope, I didn't know o_O Or if I did know, I forgot.
I stopped watching shortly after Abe and crew showed up. That was part of why I stopped, it was too confusing trying to remember what happened in the show, and what happened in the comics.
"Wait, I thought that guy was dead/alive??" or "Why does he still have his hand??" etc.
And the show killed off two of my favorite characters from the comics.
I thought they did a really good job casting Eugene though, he was pretty spot-on.


Common names are still pretty popular in the US, depending on the culture, but plenty of unique names out there as well.
Or names that are common, but have unique spellings.
We almost named our child Wednesday (after the Addams Family), but it ended up being a boy.

Apparently Negan isn't common at all, because searching for the name in Wikipedia only brings up the TWD character.
Huh, neat...his appearance was based on Henry Rollins, who auditioned for the role in the series, but lost.
Matthew Lillard almost got the part, I can't even picture that o_O

I think my favorite character in TWD from the older seasons was Carol. She was a lot like Helen from Night of the Living Dead having an abusive husband and a young daughter whom she loved very much before the zombie apocalypse (and her daughter later became a zombie too).

However unlike Helen who dies because she was too attached to her family even when it put her in danger, Carol actually becomes one of the smartest and most hardened survivors on the show after losing her family.

In a way she's also like Barbara from the 1990 remake of Night of the Living Dead who too went from being the "scared chick" stereotype to an actual survivor just trying to stay alive.

I am sure he's as aspie



In Poland, there's NO WAY you could name her Środa (the Polish word for a wednesday), you can't give your kid a name that is a common noun. Well, you CAN give a baby a name that is a common noun in Poland, but it must be an established, officially recognized name (like Jagoda - a berry, Malina - a raspberry, Sława - fame etc.) rather than a randomly chosen word. Anyway, środa is a LAST name here, like Magdalena Środa, that famous feminist. And even names which aren't THAT rare, like Kaja, are rare enough to be associated with just that one person who has it - like when you hear the name Kaja, you instantly think just about Kaja Godek, that famous prolifer or Kaja Paschalska, the actress. Or Faustyna (a grannie name) - you think instantly then about Faustyna Kowalska, that nun who claimed she saw Jesus in her visions.
