One of TellTale's best. Lots of hard decisions and it had you on the edge the entire time.
Definitely one of the best.
Great episode, really drew out the feels. Will only get better methinks.
The scene with Walter was perfectly executed, the way he twirls the knife is so creepy and made me very nervous.
Yeah, you didn't know how he'd react. It's always the unsuspecting ones that flip their shit in the craziest way. I was surprised when he didn't even punch Nick just for saying he shot Matthew.
I wouldn't do that. If my best friend was shot I'd probably hurt whoever did it. Walter was one hell of a guy for sure.
Walter was awesome. I was really pissed when he died. He deserved better.
I didn't even know that. Mah bad, mah bad
One of the best episodes. Lots of actions and emotions were poured out. A connection with just about all the characters and we were alone with them. Sarah,Nick,Alvin,Luke,Kenny,Serita,Walter, and even Rebecca.
Not only did it express things perfectly, like what Scytheslay said about Walter twirling the knife but things like Nick throwing jars at the wall, Luke giving Clem a high five,Clementine putting her head on Rebeccas stomach and my favorite Kenny and Clementine hugging.
Definitely one of the best this season so far. I think the rest of the episodes are going to be great, if not better. Bring it on, Telltale!
For second I thought he would Gut Nick with the knife on the spot, kind of like Negan does to a character in the comics. I like how he reacts if you tell him Nick is just like everyone else, he gets furious. Such an amazing voice actor, I still feel so impacted by the words he said to Clem " I could see it........ I could see it on his face." That whole scene was brilliant. I am really sad that he is gone, even though he could be considered a minor character, it felt like he was more important than that, he was a very compelling character.
Actually it was Nick who was throwing jars at the wall.
Episode 2 was........Awesome! Lived up to the hype and made everything worth the wait. Was only disappointed that some characters I immediately grew to like died too soon (i.e. Walter).
They're both together in heaven now.
Sit with Luke or sit with Kenny? =/
I sat with Kenny. I spent like 10 minutes thinking on who to sit with there. I chose Kenny in the end because I haven't seen him in over a year, and I was pretty sure Luke was going to understand why I sat with him. Especially since I found out later that if you sit with Luke, you get (?) Kenny will remember that while if you sit with Kenny it doesn't say anything for Luke. Who did you choose?
Probably the best episode in the series. Decisions that branched the story, great characters, great dialogue, etc. TTG has made a piece of art.
For me it's the best so far (both seasons)
I sat with Luke because I wanted to talk to Nick some more. I hadn't seen Kenny in forever, but Nick has more immediate grief.
wait.....they were boyfriends?!
I fixed it. Thank you.
I was greatly disappointed by episode one. It was absolutely terrible. It was so bad that I actually didn't even really feel like playing episode two and it took me a few days after release of episode two until I finally started it up (I usually play new episodes the day they come out).
Episode two is good though, I enjoyed it. This episode also had some illogical situations, but they weren't as numerous, blatant or ridiculous as in episode one. That doesn't mean that the writing is good or great though, because it isn't. The writing is decent and passable in episode two, but it is still light years behind the quality of season one.
I agree with episode 1, but episode 2 I found nearly on quality with the rest of the episodes. I feel like there was one scene that really didn't make sense, but beyond that I thought the episode was great.
Kenny coming back was the scene I'm talking about. It didn't really make sense if you had the "Kenny tries to save Ben" scene(the other scene I can see Kenny surviving pretty easily though). There should have been a way to hear more about how he survived. "somehow I got lucky" and "I found Kenny locked up in a restaurant" isn't gonna cut it for me.
Beyond that though I was really satisfied with episode 2.
Is that meant to be a pun?
Michael Madsen is an amazing villian
Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
Yeah S2E2 was epic.
Its one of my favorites from all TTG games Ive played before, now I cant wait for TWAU ep3, hopefully it steps up that series too, last ep was ok but left me asking for more.
I have a feeling we're going to get more information about how Kenny survived and what happened to him afterwards when he was alone.
If they don't go beyond him saying that he got real lucky and then going silent and looking pained when mentioning his life of solitude afterwards, I will be disappointed.
Sarita even hints that Kenny was pretty messed up when she first met him. Several examples of TTG teasing us about those details, so it leads me to believe we'll get some kind of flashback or at least verbal explanation about what happened to him.
I imagine him being a lot like the Governor was post-Woodbury in TWD TV series. Just a shell of a man, barely surviving, somehow redeemed by others (Sarita) needing his help.
But what was Kenny supposed to tell her? A detailed description of his survival? What good woud come out of him telling Clementine a story like "Oh yeah and then I pushed Walker Number 4 aside, pistol-whipped Walker Number 12 and threw him against Walker Number 7 and 3, then suddenly there was a gap and I stormed through. The end."
This just sounds pretentious
TL;DR Very much looking forward to episode 3. Episode 2 has established some cool possibilities and was excellent.
I thought it was a great episode. There were a few things I wasn't too wild about (some of the dialogue was a little stilted, nearly all of the explorable areas were way too linear for my taste, the wind turbine "puzzle" was just... ;-_- ).... But, the actual events and character interactions were far more interesting than the 1st episode (which is to be expected, as inciting action is far more interesting than exposition).
I was sad that both Matthew and Walter died so soon. Both seemed very well written for the short time we saw them (in this IP, character development is all too frequently fatal)... I found them to be believable and interesting because I learned a bit of their back story (Walter used to be a teacher, gave Matthew the knife when all of this started, etc.). The different ways Walter can react to Matthew's death and what Nick and Clem do is pretty cool too. I loved the option to oppose Luke and show Nick the picture anyway, advise Nick to be honest, and for Clem to fess up to Walter. It was enjoyable to see how all the different options played out later when the Walkers appeared.
Season 2's manner of allowing several choices to influence an outcome has been refreshing. I like how there are outcomes that (at least seem) to be based on combinations of choices. We see this with things like whether or not Sarah shows you the gun, and it makes predicting outcomes far more difficult (which is a good thing).
In S2E1, many of the Cabin survivors just felt like incomplete sketches and very exaggerated tropes to me. I know that is probably intentional, and a big part of TWD as a series is playing with our tendency to form incorrect first impressions of people and situations. The joy (and shock) of being proven wrong is part of the enjoyment, at least for some of us. I think this second episode is so much better than the first precisely because it starts to give us what makes this entire IP interesting: interpersonal and intrapersonal conflict.
We are finally starting to get more clues about many of these characters, we are seeing some open and hidden conflicts between them, and there is finally some deeper reason to wonder about the back stories of our companions. And, clearly, we're seeing some deep intrapersonal issues emerging too (examples: Kenny's anguish and mysterious time alone, Bonnie's potential guilt over Walt's death, Clem still blaming herself for Lee's deaths <-- determinant dialogue choice when speaking to Kenny by the fire).
Good catch xD
Yeah, because a detailed description of his survival is the only thing he could possibly give her. Nice strawman response (;-_-)
How about a very basic "I managed to bust through a window and climb up to the rafters where the walkers couldn't get me, but I was stuck up there for hours.... Later when I finally made it out, I looked and looked for everybody but you were all gone and I thought I had lost everybody I ever cared about...." and then he breaks down in tears or something. Anything is better than "I got lucky, real lucky" <--- lazy writing (or... now that I think about it, maybe just an indication that Kenny isn't able or willing to address the things that happened back then... yet). IDK.
I just think that they probably wouldn't have him act so pained when talking to Clem about his time spent alone, and how he talked about how meeting Sarita saved him or something like that (plus Sarita mentioning that his beard was much longer and he was messed up). I'm just making the point that if TTG is going to share these details with us, it's likely that whatever happened to Kenny between now and when we last saw him will bear some relevance to later episodes.
If they don't explore that back-story in some fashion, it will just feel like some pretty big questions are being left unresolved....
