My friends who watched the show but never played the games think they are ready. They are so very not ready.

I really need to go back and try to play the first one again; it wasn't what I was expecting and I didn't enjoy it. I might just need to accept that I'm a fan of the TV show and not the game. Not everyone can know about the Red Wedding before it airs on the TV, and maybe it's time for me to experience that.

My worry is that they will substantially change the story to try and

I do think it would be foolish to make Part 2 just one season. There's more than enough content to turn it into 2 full seasons. But 3 might be stretching it.

I guess it's time for me to go back and finish Part 2... can't remember what other game dragged me away, but I think I have quite a bit left. I'll probably just start over and try to bang it out before watching the next season of the show.

I've played through it twice and enjoyed it both times. It is a punch in the gut multiple times through to the end though.

The first season was great, but I'm leaning against watching season 2. Like it was a great show, but also just thoroughly depressing in almost every part (which I guess wasn't really a surprise), and when I finished it I was like... that was great, but did I really enjoy watching it?

Plus Joel's big decision at the end of season 1 (which I know is reflected in the game) was just infuriating / depressing.
