A New Frontier tells two tales, one of a battle-hardened teenager and the other of a brother who is trying to keep his family together while struggling with his emotions. It's powerful and steps away from the aesthetics of a melodrama but my dear reader, A New Frontier sets the bar high for its excellent narrative, storytelling and politics of society. You will drown in the world of New Richmond only to be awakened by a Walker nearby.
The episode does move the story along at a pretty good clip, and it feels like a pretty substantial and dangerous shift for the group as a whole. The ending has a big cliffhanger, and it’ll be interesting to see how that resolves in the next episode. Hopefully the wait for that isn’t too long, because The New Frontier certainly has its hooks in me thus far.
this game is amazing , gives a copelling story and great narrative , i dont know why the **** **** holes like critics think thinks a game that gave you good content should be rated like this , what the ****
this episode was awesome. great starting and kept going well but the ending was not good enough. two remaining episodes will be great. choices were awesome and of course would effect to next episodes. graphics looks much better now.
9/10
The Walking Dead: A New Frontier continues with a great rhythm in its third chapter. Even though it is a transition episode, it answers previous questions and generates more for the future.
Above the Law is a sudden change of pace for this third season of The Walking Dead. Our hope is with the last two chapters the series can return on the right track.
This season maybe have a high potential but shortness of the episode is really annoying. In this episode we can't see anything to move the story, it was a weak one
i gave this a 7 out of 10, to me it was the worst episode out of the three we have so far, but it is by no means a bad episode there are some tough choices that the game makes you pick not ruining any spoilers but i found taking the medicine a hard choice even though I already kind of knew the outcome. Also trying to care for each character and keep there respect was hard which is something i enjoy out of this series. Also this episode explores family bonding which makes some decisions hard in terms of ethics and morals and still keeping respect with the characters that I feel invested in. However I'm still looking forwards to the next episode.
But this episode looses points because it had such a week ending. And some choices seemed to be meaning less or have no real effect as the game will still force you to move along something telltale need to start paying more attention to. To me it wasn't worth the nearly 4 months wait, but in a sense it does lead up to what episodes 4 and 5 will be about and now we have an actual plot for the rest of the series. All in all good game but don't expect it to have those Holy **** moments.
Such a long wait for such a short episode. Some of the outcomes for choices didn't give me the intended outcome i was after. I'm not sure if that was the intention or if it wasn't supposed to go my way. Even though there were answers to some questions i had overall i felt a little dissatisfied with the episode as a whole.
Series 3 continuous to disappoint. After Clem and Lee, Javi seems like a joke rather than an actual character - he is bland as hell, I actually did my best/worst to somehow harm him through my choices, but to no avail - this cardboard cutout appears to be immune to fire. Making him the lead was a disastrous choice, he barely stands on his own two feet as a side character. You rarely control anything here, it's mostly cut-scenes with occasional Xs and Es to mash. And that would be fine if there was anyone to root for, but there's just no one except Clem and she gets less and less screen time with every episode. Javi, the chick he bangs and the kids are just meaningless, washed out bots whose slaughter wouldn't force out of me anything except for a sigh of relief. And hope that someone with an actual personality might replace them.
However, IF you happen to like Javi and IF - for whatever reason - you did not play the previous episodes and have no emotional connection with either Clem or Lee... then yeah, I suppose. But for a fan, one hour of blandness ain't enough I'm afraid.
As far as the narrative is not bad, but you almost don't play the episode, you never Controls the character, it's just a long long dialogue where you only watch, more the any other episode of the all game series... Unsatisfactory.
