TWD obviously wasn't the first zombie story to hit the screen, but it debuted at a time when the zombie apoc stuff hadn't already been done to death. The helped spread the feeling that you were missing out on something if you weren't watching. Even if TLOU is a better product judged side-by-side, it loses some ability to make a cultural impact due to the timing.

A couple similar examples that a few of you may be able to relate with:

-Perfect Dark compared to Goldeneye64

-Diddy Kong Racing compared to Mario Kart64

The game released later was better, but the predecessors were what defined the generation.

I am a fan of both games. But the actual racing in Mario kart 64 is much better than diddy king.

And perfect dark was just reskinned goldeneye with better weapons and multiplayer options.
