@SethPhotopoulos: okay you dont' get my ultimate point, which admittedly I made it kind of hard to get, so lemme spell it out for you;
these games never got the accolades that TWD will get. I never mentioned fallout 3, I kinda think that is a bad game, new vegas got way less props. TWD will be the skyrim for this year, it's quite obvious. those games I mentioned were not given nearly as many props, because those games all have significant problems. So does the walking dead, but people are handwaving that (this is my point)
also you thought your choices mattered in TWD but didn't in AP? I've played AP 4 times and I've gotten way different endings most of those times. I can play TWD again and know what the end will be.
I remember making a lot of big choices in Alpha Protocol that were never adressed in the ending. You are a spy who is supposed to have influence in world wide events and the game kind of ignored it. TWD may always lead you down the same path but at least it effects character interaction which was the Ultimate point of TWD. Part of the Walking Dead is the powerlessness you feel in some of your choices. It's what kind of person you are at the end of your journey that matters.
Also I wildly disagree with your sentiment on New Vegas, that game ran like garbage on release and there was a lot of ways to break the game without knowing. Like I said it sold really really well (better than TWD will) and did score plenty of accolades. That game had it's flaws ignored
Almost everyone who has ever played the Persona games are going to give it praise, it's just that those are more underground style games and they won't appeal to everyone.
The Witcher 2 has received plenty of praise and was a commercial success. That's damn impressive considering the nature of the game.
TWD also didn't have that many problems/performance issues that would hinder a game. The "action" sequences may be what you're talking about but some of those worked really well, and there wasn't even a lot of those.
Those games weren't ignored, certainly not because of their significant problems. Maybe if you told us what problems you are talking about your point would make more sense.
