... With little girls on motorcycles, absurd kung fu characters, out of place comic cameos, a propensity to shoot guns to look badass and waste ammo with no consideration of sound, generally a lot of gravitas feels lost from when in the very first episode there was a puzzle to stealthily and carefully take out three walkers, learning about their behaviours and attempting to avoid too much risk.
Stylized movement and combat has its place, but I don't think it should be here. A realistic down to earth struggle during Starved to Death with people desperately clawing at each other and moving like real people (without being absurdly sluggish and comical like Heavy Rain), is something I would appreciate a lot more than where New Frontier headed.
Agreed; I really liked the down to earth tone and presentation of Season 1, alongside the more grounded problems (as opposed to the approach of future games where you get shoved into petty group politics with Carver/Randall/New Frontier), and I hope that Season 4 returns to the more "basic" and realistic approach that Season 1 had.
This rumour actually is the most exciting thing I have heard about this game, that would be a sublime way to make choice have more weight in… more the world, and a smart callback that wouldn't cause quite as much suspension of disbelief as the reappearance of other characters. Plus the potential of seeing the character development of (what would have to be) a reformed cannibal is an interesting post apocalyptic prospect, and how others would react, such as people Andy might be surviving with, when it's him and a teenagers word against one another (if that would occur).
In regards to people complaining about the cynicism, it's hard for me to drop the negativity considering we are supposed to accept New Frontier as canon, and I can't stop thinking of all the wasted potential with Kenny, Edith, Ava, the 400 day's cast, the Michonne series, Prescott, the family at Howe's, Nick, Pete, Sarita, Sarah, I could go on.

Help me out here guys. I'm not quite sure if that is simply dirt and grime or if it is the scar from when Clementine was shot by Arvo. I think it would be awesome if it is the scar, but I can't quite tell. What do you guys think?

Yeah, the more and more I look at it, it does just look like dirt. I think I want it to be the scar so badly I'm making it look more like a scar when it really isn't.
It doesn't look like that's where she got shot.
She got shot more towards the shoulder, that looks like it would have hit her collar bone, which wasn't the case.

It just looks like an smudge of ash to me. An incredibly weak obsidian necklace, if you will.
Though it would be kinda neat if there was indeed a visible scar or whatever. Given that they were ultimately too lazy to think of an alternative fade out and what not.

I'm not sure you are using abject correctly, from my understanding it can't be used to describe an emotional state of ones reaction or speech. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I have no idea what you mean. Pretending to object? Eh.
I'm disappointed that they wasted ALL of the endings, instead of fulfilling their promise to make them matter. I feel Kenny's send off was really poorly done and I'm highly disappointed by it.
I don't really see how you can be spoiled with a fictional character... is this some kind of weird in forum debate about characters and how spoiled people are with them? Because they ruined Jane with the flashbacks in an extremely disappointing manner that runs contradictory to her character arc.
Edit:
To add to my first comment and lighten things up, this is stark opposite extreme of stylized action movies I would like them to avoid.
My point is that people complaining about Kenny's death in ANF need to stop being so faux-abject about something that does not matter considering they are the epitome of spoiled.

It was just a synonym I looked up to describe a feeling of perceived injustice without getting to racy.

True.

I'm not arguing about season 2, I'm talking about New Frontier, which I feel ruined the canon for me. Season 2 had quite a few (big) problems but nothing entirely unbearable.
Looks like they will be lining this up with the point the comics are currently taking place. The comics picked up from the timeskip at issue #127. They are now at issue #178 and in universe roughly nine months or so has passed.
TellTale season 3 took place in the middle of that timeskip of the comics so if they do another year and half/two year skip they will be at the current point of where the comics are currently at.
I... I don't exactly think that's a major spoiler!
But, yeah - I think that is actually good as it may indicate the plot is more expansive than just "head to a ranch to find AJ".

I think it's probably just dirt.

It's not a major spoiler, no.
I've never really liked the whole AJ plot and I'd rather skip the whole finding him thing but doesn't it make ANF and it's ending a bit pointless?
