This sounds like somebody that simply wants to pontificate on why they hate the theme. Real gameplay comments (actually a single comment) are the amazingly descriptive "weak". Oh also "worst of all Lawlor games"...ummm NOBODY has even claimed this before. Even the people that didn't love it.
No mention of the magnets, Einstein Theater, diverter action, etc like people have talked about that *actually* played the game. If he DID actually play it he was obviously hyperventilating over the theme so the gameplay went by in a confused blur.

But hey it's the interwebz so if there is something we don't understand or personally care for... let's start a whole new thread about it.
Don't forget the hyperbolic "worst game ever from -xx-" comment. Well at least that old chestnut got trotted out.
And don't forget the trollish title so your awesomely important opinion gets some eyeballs... "Pat failed us". Check

PS: I'm glad I didn't let the frighteningly important concept of "scale" between game toys scare me off from enjoying the awesome gameplay of TWD. Holy bejeezus Batman

I'd rather read comments by people that a) didn't like the theme but liked the gameplay or b) liked the theme but didn't like the gameplay. At least you know the person is capable of separating the two.

I hope that's a quote from Mrs. Slocombe in "Are you being served"

Quoted from o-din:

I watched the live stream at home with a friend and I didn't think it was that bad.
I can imagine it might have been a little different in a packed room full of expo goers, many that may not have bathed that day, and some of the goodies and beer was starting to go thru them. I might have been one of the first to hit the exits if that was the case.

Yeah it wasn't that bad. A little long winded to be sure and indeed people seemed a little shocked at least at the name initially.

But if you kept watching the stream you saw crowds of people playing the five machines and looking pretty damn happy about it. Lotta smiles and laughs and that was the important thing. That's THE important thing... who's gonna remember/care about some speechifying and a "presentation" in the future anyways.

A lot of people said they didn't love the name or the sounds, etc... but NOBODY said the gameplay was weak. Even at the supposed early code release. Will this be enough to sell it? Who knows?

Personally I can't believe *anybody* would buy a machine at 8k and up. They are simply not worth it comparing cost/fun factor IMO.
