The Walking Dead: The Game

I want to see what's going on in my neck of the woods, in the pacific southwest.

Los Angeles would most likely look the same post-zombie that it did pre-zombie.

Los Angeles is probably just filled with zombies. Like one street would be nothing but 600 zombies crawling over eachother.

I want to see Chicago or Springfield, considering I live in Illinois.

Maine, Alabama, and Maryland sound interesting. Heck, Alaska could even work.

I want to see a really crazy guy, like the governer. Like the guy has lost everything and leads these raiders who wear SWAT armor and gasmaks.

As long as it doesn't turn into COD, ut should be good. The Walking Dead isn't very good at gunplay (press A to shoot the raiders/zombies, only to press RT instead), but it made QTE fun, if simple.

I wouldn't mind the Mojave desert where I grew up, zombies really wouldn't be much of a problem compared to survival.

I'm on board with no more comic cameos; I feel like that constrains the story unnecessarily after it's already proved able to stand on its own. Kenny's 'death' had a pretty distinct Never Found the Body flavor in my mind, but Telltale could always stick with the default assumption of his death if they wanted.

Yeah, the dead should stay dead, and Lilly shouldn't come back. She's gonna be busy in Woodbury killing babies.

No, Kirkman ended up using comic Lily in a novel that contradicts game Lily's story, and Telltale changed an achievement and website bio for Lily that alluded to the connection. She's a different character now, they can do with her as they please.

I could swear the endgame screen actually said Kenny died.

She doesn't stand much of a chance between the scattered walkers, low supplies/gasoline, and bandits.

...... But she was meant to have survived to be in the comic anyway, until they had to retcon it. So they might as well.

What caused the retcon again? Something about Lily's dad?

Yeah, basically, IIRC. Probably other details too.

One other thing: I feel like season 2 shouldn't end on quite as much of a downer as season 1, especially if they end up angling for a third one. Not that I didn't like the ending to the first one; I just don't think you can do it repeatedly and maintain the same kind of impact.

Yeah, they might as well give the chance for an ambiguous ending, if they don't want a flat out downer one.

I think season 2 should be about Clementine taking Chuck's old six-string, making her way to the last surviving city on the continent, the fabled Lost Vegas, and aim to become the new Queen of Rock'n'Roll.

Well, then we'd have Fallout New Vegas, with more ghouls.

I want Clementine to appear, but only in one episode. She can probably take care of herself, and is likely cynical as hell after seeing half her friends die, discovering her parents died, eating human meat, and having to deal with the stress of living in a zombie apocalypse. Of course, Omid and Christie should logically appear in there boat Lee told her about.

Anyone ever felt certain instances where They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot? Like the whole thing about Lee's secret past, or the character arcs of some of the other party members being left unresolved? (Not saying that they are, but that's just what I've read in another forum from someone who thought it was a little disappointing)

Lee's past is only unresolved if you save Doug.

Otherwise... I can't think of any character but Chuck that didn't have a full character arc. Maybe Carley/Doug, but... eh...

There's not a whole lot I can think of that can't be excused to establish the whole Anyone Can Die part. Take Larry, his animosity towards Lee in addition to being the only in the group to know of your past (at that point) could've been stretched to another episode or two. Such potential made his death almost come off as sudden, and thus affirming the Anyone Can Die part.

Agreed, I think it's kind of the point. We go through media expecting all the angles to be explored and all the loopholes to be filled. Say with Larry and knowing about Lee's past, how many people thought to themselves "I hope he dies before he tells the whole fucking group about it, that would make me so happy. But I know it won't happen, because otherwise why would they mention that he knows if it isn't a useful plot device?"

Then he died without mentioning it to anyone else. And I was pretty happy about that.

The game doesn't care about what you want, it cares about what you feel. Larry dies in a quick, undramatic, way that surprises many players.

Lee's past is only unresolved if you save Doug.

Here. I also missed Molly's tape.

....I still don't know Lee's full story, now you remind me. I should go on Youtube.....

^^

Maybe I'm a rather cold bastard, but I was pretty happy about him dying simply because he was an asshole, because he knew about Lee's past, and because I wanted to bone his daughter.

@Occono: How do you not know Lee's past? We learn pretty much all of it in episode 1: He killed a US senator who was sleeping with his wife. His family, who he had been estranged from for a time, owned a drug store in Macon, and he taught history at UGA.

That's pretty much it.

Eeeewww. You wanted to have sex with Lily?

Man that's gross.

Hell yeah dawg.

What can I say? She's Air Force, I'm Air Force, you know how it is.

She looked a lot better in the first episode, her face went downhill from there.

Stress can do that to a person.

Carly was lookin pretty good the whole way through.

Lily has extra pressure on her, as "appointed leader" who has to make all the decisions up through Episode 2, when Lee starts making a few.

Most everyone isn't as hagrid as Lily starts to become. With everything that happens to her, the way her face looks in the next episode is a clear sign that she's about to snap.
