Why Season 2 Finale WILL Be Better Than Season 1 Finale
Season 1 was by all means amazing. And Season 2 has always been looked at inferior to Season 1. Personally, I think the plot/ intensity is the same but I think the storyline is missing Lee a lot. Anyways, thats off topic. Season 2 finales will be a lot more intriguing than Season 1. Why? Seasons 1 finale was pretty much written in stone by the end of Episode 4, since Lee was bit. We all knew Lee would die it was just a matter of when. In addition, we knew the group we had, we knew the main objective, and nothing new was introduced in Episode 5. Dont get me wrong it was a great emotional episode that provided closure but it also was very predictable if you take a step back.
Season 2 finales is the complete opposite. Who is going to make it out of the shootout? The objective is to get to Wellington but depending on who survives and supplies that plan must change. There are a lot of rumors about Lilly / Christa/ Jane returning. I mean, it is literally wide open. And I am sure there will be some, as there always are, of people who are disappointed with the episode, I am much more excited for this finale than last seasons finale because nothing is imminent. Heck, everyone left could survive . . . hypothetically of course. As the tweets that have been posted already, it seems like it will be a tear jerker but I am really looking forward to the ONE BIG PLOT TWIST. Whether that be the return of Jane/ Lilly, or whether that be something else I feel like there wasn't that element of surprise in Season 1's finale.
Long story short,
Personally, I think Telltale did a great job in Episode 4 setting up for a great finale. By far the most hype going into an episode of this game (both seasons) yet. Sure, we can speculate at who is likely to die and sure that may happen BUT we all know there is going to be some crazy occurrence in this finale that just throws everything in a loop, which was not present in Season 1. Like I said, it could be the returning of a character, it could be the inclusion of 400 days characters, it could be something with the baby, or it could be the death gulp of a certain protagonist... I mean honestly I am way too pumped for this season finale! Also, #SaveMike.

I really like episode 4, but as far as setting up a great finale - no. The Russians were bullshit. I'm plenty happy having a Russian immigrant (Arvo) in the story, but them running into a whole group of Russians (including a very stereotypical mafioso) in the middle of podunk Virginia seems slightly far fetched...
I will agree with the general premise that we knew how things were going to go with Lee in episode 4. But it'll take a hell of a lot to top this:

The game is set in a zombie apocalypse. . .and meeting a Russian mob in Virginia is farfetched?
EDIT: I just don't understand everyones dislike with the Russians, I mean regardless it doesn't seem like they are going to stick around for a while so I don't think they will bear significance in Episode 5.
Not sure if serious or joking. . .
The Russians can't even speak english. What business do they have being in America?
Well, Russian speakers dislike them for how stereotypically (Buricko) they were portrayed, and how bad their Russian was. Not to mention the fact that their presence in the game is not explained at all.
No other minor character who appeared before was done so badly, regardless of how insignificant they may have been. What makes it worse is the fact that Telltale designed them to be that way. Players weren't supposed to understand what they are saying, but TT didn't even try to account for any Russian-speaking players. Good job, Telltale.
Funny enough, they can't even speak Russian properly...
Probably because they come out of nowhere when we already had an antagonist built up over the season who then died.
Can't tell if you're joking or being serious . . .
Personally, I'm perfectly game for Carver having died. Season 1 didn't have a long term antagonist and that was fine. His sudden change between episode 2 and episode 3 is what ticked me off.
We've known them for like 10 seconds. They don't speak a lick of english. Clearly they will all die within the opening scene.
Eh, I honestly think the Russians and whoever is still alive on your group will join together. You'll end up finding Niko, and his cousin will always want to go bowling with you. I hate that guy.
Season 1 also had a more central focus than season 2 has had so far.
Taking care of Clementine.
Season 2 has not. And removing Carver so early didn't do it any favors.
I'm confident that Niko would shoot his cousin first chance he gets during a ZA
I am not holding my breath. This season has been a consensual letdown for the TWD world. It is still a good game, but its not up to the standards of the first season.
Roman was my favorite character in that game
Even though it was more fun playing, I agree with you. But I guess that's also because season one was there first. You can have Telltale's Walking Dead experience only once. I have a friend who's playing the second season without ever having catched a glimpse of the first, and he's absolutely astounded.
He told me to leave it, I left it :_( JOHNNY KLEBITZ 4 LIFE
Nah, it has been a consensual letdown for you. I have enjoyed it just as much as Season 1. And I think with a good ending, it may even surpass Season 1.
Successful? It's very successful from what I hear.
IMO there are a lot of reasons that caused it to not be as successful as it could be. Many are listed in other threads, I could find them if someone wants them.

I just want Arvo to take Clem to Hogwarts and teach her magic.
Probably not, but we'll see.
Not just me, every day there is a thread saying how much people don't like something from season 2, most of the threads have valid criticisms.
Why does everything have to be so politically correct? Who cares what nationality they are
I don't like people who say Season 2 is the worst thing ever, but people who believe there should be no criticism at all also piss me off, how do they expect TellTale to improve without criticism?
When that happens, you will have the infamous "Pizza vs Ice Cream" choice. Bring Lee back from the dead or bring Omid back from the dead.
Complaining and critiquing are different things. Complaining is fine to an extent but the level it has gotten to on here is down right embarrassing. No one is saying there should be NO criticism, every person that has ever played this game has some flaws with it they would have liked to see whether it be with the plot or game play. Much of the complaining is unwarranted and almost all of it is unvalidated.
You sure you're not just upset that your precious company is getting negative feedback? Alot of the complaining is actually validated and not unwarranted, there are going to be immature idiots, but most what I've seen is valid criticism, and your complainers OP was basically telling all the complainers to shut up which is completely unfair.
I gotta get back to my MOMS
Or combine them to make...
LEEMID!
DUN DUN DUN!!!
ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS FOLLOW THE DAMN TRAIN, CJ!
Fuck Big Smoke.
telltale built hype? More like killed hype by killing all the characters.
Not expecting much for the finale really, the whole season has just been a mish-mash of idea's that have gone literally no-where.
If Telltale ever had a plan for Season 2, it was clearly thrown out the window with Episode 3...by now its pretty clear they are just making the story up as they go along.
Yea your totally right. Except for like Luke, Mike, Bonnie, Clem, Kenny, the baby, and Arvo. . . every ones dead.
You and 100% of players brought Lee back from the dead
You and 0% of players brought Omid back from the dead
lol people actual think I am defending Telltale. Hilarious. Just proves you don't do your research at all.
That would be really strange for Christa and Carley...
"its clear they are just making the story up as they go along"
So I guess you work at Telltale, right? In another thread, you were telling me they do re-writes. People its ok to have an opinion but please back it up with fact or efficient evidence. Pulling stuff out of thin air doesn't help anyone.
Yeah they might've had a plan with Episode 1 and 2...this is Episode 4 going onto 5 and its clear they are just winging it anymore.
Edit: Kirbinator once again I've yet to see you counter any criticism people have made of Season 2 other then for you to say "Nope your wrong!".
You can't expect the series to get better if you just blindly praise it at every turn. Your problem is you refuse to even admit that problems exist.
