How Could Things Possibly Get Worse?

edited September 2012 in The Walking Dead
Ep. 4 & 5 are supposed to be as bad, or worse, but I'm wondering how.

From the preview, nothing excites me.

After seeing all the characters I care about gone, except Clem, I'm a lot more jaded than before.

I could care less if Omid dies of an infection or Christa offs herself.

Chuck? Pfft!

The mysterious man really isn't that scary. I mean, take the damn walkie talkie and all ties are cut.

In this dangerous world, why would I bother looking for him?

Clem will just have to not see her parents. They're probably dead. She has to deal with it.

But all that said, I'm guessing Clem with be kidnapped or something. What else could match the death of Carley and the others?

    I don't care much about the remaining people either. With the exception of Clem and Christa (They took Carley, dammit... gimme a new love interest!), I don't care if I don't see the rest anymore.

    So, even if we leave the lot behind, I don't see how things can deteriorate more. I wouldn't want an entire episode to be focused on searching for Clem - that'll just piss me off.

    Considering Kenny's my bro, a subplot where you have to convince him why he still needs to live would be interesting.

    Clem runs off to go find her parents. The guy is not only a pedo and psychopath but a liar her's already killed Clems mom. He makes Lee run errands threatening Clem if Lee fails including forcing him to kill someone. Your torn do you mindlessly obey this guy to save Clem or do you try to subvert his orders to kill torture and steal knowing the consequences. Either Way Lee will find the guy and either he kills him or Clem does. What happened to Clem in that time? You'll never know.

    Give the new guys a chance. Omid and Christa seem to be good people. I dont understand why people are hating on them. We know literally nothing about their characters. Omid seemed like a really nice guy, Christa admitedly sounded like a total b-eye-tee-cee-h but given the circumstances wouldnt you?

    I dont think it will get worse, but I do think something will happen to Clem in the next episode... personally based off the trailer Im thinking episode 4 ends with Lee and Clem getting split up. Im sure of the 8 members right now ATLEAST 2 more will die in episode 4. I think chuck and omid as of right now.

    The things is. Things can get worse, its just that no one cares, and that should be of concern to the writers.

    Short of seeing Clem have her head torn from her body, watching her eyes roll back into her head as the flesh rips from her collar bone, the apathy that Episode 3 has brought with its pacing, plot, poor script and lackadaisical narrative its hard to be interested. Episode 3 did barely enough to keep the series head above water, and that is never a good thing.

    Only people i care about left are. Kenny, Chuck, and Ben.
    Of course people hate Ben but, they don't realize Lilly was the problem too, they point at Ben, but Lilly didn't want to leave the motel when they should have, when they knew there were bandits in the woods.

    I don't think theres a single character who is totally blameless in the walking dead game by now. Even *SNIFFLE* The Queen. WHYYYYYYYYY WHY QUEEN WHY DID YOU TALK TO THE EVIL MAN AND NOT TELL US?

    TTG said I would cry, throw up or want to shot myself in e3-e5. I got misty eyed and felt a little queasy in e3 but that's it so they have their work cut out for them. Something very bad happening to Lee or Clem may achieve those effects. Otherwise, it's good times....especially if Kenny or Ben get killed...both would be better.

    Well, all I could think of is having Lee fail Clem somehow, that's about the only thing that would phase me at this point.

    It's kind of hard to say this, but what if she gets molested? Could/would TTG even go there?

    We wouldn't see it. course. But I can see Lee asking her "Are you ok?" like in the meat locker. only this time Clem answering in this soft sad breaks your damn heart voice "He touched me Lee"

    i think my Lee would be come a murderer at that point

    I know something that would be worse, amputate Clem's hand, and fast or she dies. Not saying I think that will happen just there are worse things that could happen still.

    Hahaha, why is this so hilarious to me. Oh God. I mean in a real life context terrible, but in the game, in the way you described, I can't stop laughing over here...Hahahaha " He touched me Lee ", Hahahaaaaaaaa

    Kenny rapes Clem and then he kills her, and a zombie comes to finish up Ben Paul then Lee survives all that by himself.
    And Chuck suicides by throwing himself in middle of zombies crowd.

    That's as long as Telltale wants to make the episode more emotional so let's make it so emotional then >_>

    I honestly thought it couldn't get worse than 2, but I think I can say I was proven wrong on that count.

    Then we replace it with a chainsaw. Which she can't use till she's older.... a Dagger to start maybe?

    Pretty much how I feel after playing Ep3. I have no idea how Ep4 will be more intense than 3, but we will see.

    Merc Considering Kenny's my bro, a subplot where you have to convince him why he still needs to live would be interesting.


    Yeah in my other play through I sided with Kenny on everything and I am good friends with him. Right now since he lost his family I feel that there really isn't anything left for him in the game. I have a feeling he will probably kill himself or more than likely save the entire group by a self sacrafice like staying back and holding up the walkers. If Kenny were to die that way I would have much respect for him because of all the things he dropped the ball on he would make up for it. At this moment I can only speculate, its just so sad to see his entire family taken from him in Ep3.

    Want to really be sad don't fight him talk him down. "There's no way this world let's my boy live when I let someone elses die."

    I can't see things growing worse than THIS. Half of our group is gone, and we only have the characters who nobody likely cares for (save for Clem).

    They always hurt. The ones you love. The ones they shouldn't hurt at all. And now all thats left is Clementine. I think you should prepare to bawl.

    Last time someone asked this question, TTG went there... and they made us feel like crap afterward, too. Stop asking this horrible question! :D

    I have to admit, though, I do agree with another poster on how it's getting difficult to stay interested in the game and storyline, as of right now. Episode one was a good starter, and episode two was kind of slow, to me. Episode three just seemed overwhelming with all the events that took place, leaving episode four in a hard spot to compete.

    At this point in time, if episode four seems slow paced, the end of it better be so messed up that it causes me to tear up (I haven't cried in six years, since my wife passed away and my stepdaughter moved out. It's no easy task to make me cry. :P). If not, then episode five is going to be really hard to follow up with.

    TTG, give it your best shot! :D

    I don't want to cry in the next episode. I want to be pissed off. I want to have an source of anger who builds me up and builds me up then allows me to finish him. If not in episode four then in the next one. Epically. Like facing off against Ulysses in Lonesome Road cept TWDG style not action adventure style
  • edited September 2012
    We've already had happy, sad and angry with the current episodes. I have a feeling we're about to get a gut wrenching, heart breaking episode in the fourth. Probably followed by The Incredible Hulk-like rage soon after. It's time to step it up, a notch! :D

    It can get worse, but i doubt i will care, since theres no one in the group i care about now.

    Seriously, if theres a chance for me to leave someone behind, i will do it.
  • edited September 2012
    Agree.
    I dont care for the new people.
    I stopped caring for Kenny in episode 2.
    Ben is useless and annoying.
    I stopped caring for Lilly when she shot Carley, so 2 flies in 1 there.

    Katjaa... Duck....

    As for Christa and Omid.... Yawn. I have no idea who they are as i didnt pay attention when they came along.

    It's a pity. This game had potential, despite being very linear. But when you kill every character its pretty much like starting over and i dont feel like it. Maybe in a month or two, but it will be like starting over as everything that happen up to this point doesnt matter anymore.

    The tv series pushed the line when they killed Dale, Shane. Im sure if they had killed Daryl, Andrea and so on they would have lost a huge fanbase in the process.
    I think that might have been what Telltale just did.
  • edited September 2012
    But Shane is like the Lilly in this game... also in a game like this, we need a troublemaker and Lilly was that part. You can love or hate her...
  • edited September 2012
    I like Kenny, here's hoping I can make him see some good in life and maybe get in a new family. I'm sure we will grow to like Omid and Christa. Remember how Telltale made us like Duck?
  • edited September 2012
    Episode 3 maxed out my sadness. I honestly don't see what they can do to make me depressed other than killing Clem. More likely some interesting twists and turns concerning the plot though.

    Do your worst TTG, nothing can affect me now :cool:

    Yeah that was bad when he said that when I played through talking him down. It shows that Kenny could have saved Hershels son but cowered out because his son was safe and thats what he cared about. I can understand him doing what he did though, why risk your neck and possibly get killed and leave you wife and son by themselves. Just my .02 cents though.

    [paranoia]I'm so suspicious of everyone right now except for Ben. That's where they're going to get us. He's going to try and hurt Clem. right when we least suspect it [/paranoia]

    you can tell Clementine to be careful of ben

    they could cancel the series after Ep4

    It be nice if they threw a curve-ball into the mix, like something happens that may or may not have triggered/activated the virus in Lee. And even though we're not sure of his status, his health is going and as bad as it is- it seems different than what happened to Duck.

    The possibilities with this are vast, fighting to stay in the group and trying to keep the groups trust and faith while at the same time, trying to figure out what to do should you die because you don't want clem to be alone, while at the same time trying to find a way to keep yourself alive or stay healthy long enough to achieve what little you can with the time you have left. And if possible, cure yourself as unlikely as it may seem at the time. It would be fresh and it would be cool.

    But seeing how chapter 3 showed us that our choices don;t matter and so forth, this turn of events would be a waste.

    Andrea was more popular than Shane?

    {Off Topic}
    here in Brazil, 95% of people wanted Shane death. (I do not): D

    (Topic)
    I doubt somehow that episode makes me feel sad In my group the only ones that I care about are Clem and Kenny, but if Kenny die, I will not be surprised.

    I dont agree.
    I thought Lilly was reasonable up untill she shot Carley in the cheek.

    I think Andrea grew in season 2.
    While Shane became more and more hated. What Shane did to Otiz is unforgivable.
