Psst yr thread name is wrong.

But yeah I was chatting with Bollo about this last night. I know nothing of the Fables universe beyond what I've read on the backs of the TPBs. A review that I read suggested that a lack of familiarity with the source material might hamper your experience of it, as it kind of glosses over lots of important things and characters that turn up. 

I've also heard it's as janky as The Walking Dead, but I can forgive that if plotting is strong.

Edit: well caught

Last word is the reason I know nothing about it

I had a quick go of the demo on Sunday. Liked it enough to warrant a purchase but wasn't sure if it was CG or NG. Also, do you have to buy the first episode separately to the Season Pass?

As for the comics, I was a big Vertigo fan, but had stopped buying comics when this came out. Might download the first couple of issues to see if I like it enough to get some of the graphic novels.

I like Fable enough to buy this. I should probably finish Walking Dead first though.

This won't do anyone any favours now, but there was a Fables sale last week on comixology for $1 per issue, I guess it had something to do with this game, though I had no idea at the time.

Bought a bunch of the comics, then the next day in Steam's Coming Soon page they were advertising this game.  Only clicked on the link because I thought the main character looked like Bigby, and it turns out it was him - assuming the reason they didn't brand it as a Fables product was due to the Lionhead games?

Anyway played the first chapter on sunday afternoon, on PC.  Very Walking Dead and I'm fine with that.  Captured the style of the comics quite well. 

Probably only because I am a fanboy but I wished there was more stuff you could point and click on that would expand upon the universe a little, or give little easter eggs for fans of the material.  Not sure how much that would add to the game, but.

Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

I might have to try the comic, any news on an iPad version of the game?

No, it's everything bar the first episode as it states there. Sometimes a season pass is just a discount too.

I really enjoyed this. Hadn't even heard of the comic series before playing this but I really enjoy a well written noir type mystery. It's a bit of a slow burner and involves a lot more exposition than the walking dead which benefited from all the characters being strangers to each other. Played it using the steam game share beta but I'll probably buy it for myself when the next episode is released.

How long is Frosty ?

You can fire through it in a couple of hours without missing anything. Although I apparently missed one Steam achievement. 

It's the same length as The Walking Dead episodes.

I played chapter one of this yesterday - For some reason it stutters quite a lot on PS3 (not so much slow down more juddering/sound glitches) - but still really enjoyable - will definitely be getting the next one.

This thread has a ridiculously small amount of posts.

Anyone that enjoyed The Walking Dead needs to get this too, you'll love it if you also like hard boiled detective fiction.

What formats is it on?

The final episode of this is out now.
