The Walking Dead: The Game

I don't want to be on that, but I have this bad feeling it's a decent bet.

Anyone find it foreboding there's no preview for Episode 5?

"Who wants to bet on whether the finale will have you make Lee shoot a zombified Clem, or vice versa?"

Vice versa, judging by the Wham Line.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck yooooooooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Telltale.

The final stats screen blew my mind. Clearly there's a lot of ways this episode could have gone down....never involving saving Chuck, though. And damn.......Lee's a goner. And Clem's kidnapped by some weird git.

So, was Molly actually Anna? With like, a wig? Was that meant to be obvious? Because it never got answered...for me anyway. I suppose she could still come back, but...well, it's a weird loose end. I mean she went crazy on the doctor so it must have been her, right?

I think Anna and Molley were two different people.

Ah, I've learned I missed a third tape with some kind of reveal about Molly. Wish that was mandatory to find, as replaying is annoying, I have to move files around because of a glitch with the Steam version TT still haven't fixed.....plus, do I have to redo everything after it if I want it to count?

I guess I could just watch it on Youtube if it doesn't have a lasting impact.

It doesn't really. Probably.

^^ You can just rewind that episode to the chapter with the tapes.

Episode 4 with the zombie boy moment was the only time I really felt bad for Kenny.

I'll try, if the save files let me. (Have none of you heard of this problem? It's a pretty big issue with the Steam version of the game.) If it doesn't make a difference for episode 5.

And fuck you Ben. You better pull through in the last episode.

I Left Ben to die.

So I'm really pissed with Kenny. I was playing on my room mates save file because mine was bugged, where he completely and utterly supported Kenny in every way. Then when Lee tries to convince people to come with him after Clementine. Kenny says that if it were reversed roles that Lee wouldn't have done it for him. Then I reasoned with him to get him to go.

Pissed off that there's no way to keep Lee from being bitten or keeping Molly. I already had my 5 man band for the boat picked in my head.. Left Ben, was hoping Omid had turned and that we would have him kill Christa, so that I could have Molly, Vernon, Lee, Clem, and Kenny.

Damnit Telltale. Fuck you. Fuck you for being so unpredictable and awesome.

Should have saved Ben. You would have had more help.

I saved Ben. Guy has been more trouble than he's worth, but dammit I just can't let a man die like that.

Though I had to scold her a couple times Clem was awesome this episode. Especially when that gun training paid off.

In the end I only had Omid and Christa to come with me. Not that surprising.

I don't want his help. He has never helped, and he should have died a long time ago. Every single task I gave him, he failed miserably. My roomate and I agreed to put him on the three strikes rule, and I even gave him a fourth chance, that's when I just gave up on him.

I had Kenny. That's it.

I got everyone but Ben.

Wondering if I should reload back and see if he'll stick by if I save him.

Though I wonder if he'll redeem himself if I do. Or if he'll just get us in more shit.

Again.

Remember when I said last episode was the Wham episode?

Fuck that. A video game has never made me sweat, or have my heart beat so fast I thought it would burst from my chest. Jesus fuck.

Also, this was the only episode where I was in the majority for every choice. Cool.

Also, I would like to take this opportunity to quote Kenny regarding the ending: Fuck fuck fuck fuck FUCK!

EDIT: Nevermind. Apparently I missed that only 20% of people killed the kid. What the what?

Yeah. That confuses the hell out of me.

"Hey I know you're still in one hell of a Despair Event Horizon so why don't you kill a zombie that looks like your son!"

Luckily Kenny resumed Bro Status at the end for me.

I wonder if Saving Ben would have spoiled that.

Also I wonder if Molly will show up again.

I mean we aren't leaving the city just yet, and she didn't say she was leaving the city did she?

I mean she's got an asston to scavenge in Crawford now.

I saved Ben (because even if he's useless, that's no reason to kill him. Crawford shows why that mindset is fucked.) But I managed to get everyone to come with me. Apparently even though Kenny hates Ben, and doesn't think Lee would help him in a role-reversal, he's still like "eh, Clementine, man."

So yeah. That.

Yeah, maybe you should notice the parallels between Crawford and Ben. Lee even MAKES the connection. And incidentally, I got EVERYONE to come look for Clem. Everyone.

PS. I expect Lilly to show up in Ep 5.

As a walker I hope.

And I would have saved him but he said to let him drop so...I did what he wanted.

More like "We understand you're grieving, man, but you really need to accept that your son and wife are dead and move out of this gloom cloud."

Through killing the dead boy, he accepts that he has to "kill" his depression over his dead family, and move on.

That's... not how psychology works. You chould never intentionally expose a trauma victim to more trauma. It will just lead to their eventual breakdown.

Now, at the same time, you shouldn't shelter them from it, but making Kenny kill the kid is just heartless.

Also, Krista is almost definitely preggers. Anyone got an idea how this'll play out?

I think you had the choice to not kill the kid at all too, right?

Not that that seems like a good choice either.

My episode ended with Kenny and I against the world.

Omid and Christa, those ungrateful bastards. I killed Ben, because he told me he didn't want to go on any longer being a burden. I accepted that, and kind of let him have his death through redemption, attracting the zombies to his dying body so that the rest of the group could get out.

I wish Vernon stayed as cool as he was when you first met him. :<
