Also, I could see how a game player could have a disconnect with the show. A game is going to have a lot more 1st person shooter action -sort of the point of a game - work your way through the zombies. A movie that devoted the same percentage of time to zombie killing would be pretty two dimensional and boring. I think they are doing a good job of telling a story where the zombies are a danger to be accounted for, but not the main focus.

I think the majority of game players are loving it. Some are wanting more action but like you said, you can't have 30 minutes of Joel crouching and stabbing 20 people and 40 zombies in the neck. It would make bad tv. They show has done an incredible job of telling the games story and changing just enough details to make it fresh but still tell the same story with the same outcomes. I'm incredibly impressed with how well they have pulled this off.
