Disappointing Deaths
I understand, this is the Walking Dead, and people have to die. But there are some deaths in the game that really disappointed me. Not only because of who died but the way they died. One for example would be Luke's Death. Huge fan of the character, didn't want to see him go but was hoping for more of like an heroic death, even though he saved Clem. I don't know, I was just expecting more especially from an important/major character. What are your thoughts? R.I.P. Luke

This one disappointed me the most.
Nick´s was underwhelming.
Luke´s just made me bitter. It wasn´t bad but it was uncalled for. Yes, I´m biased, leave me to suffer.
Nick and Sarah
For me it had to be bromid and luke.
Inb4 more Nick.
Omid and Nick were the lamest...
Literally everyone in the cabin group.
The cabin group got screwed over.
Kenny S2 E5
I think kenny deserved a more heroic death as if it were season 1 again
i dont think kenny deserved to even be considered evil. they were so focused on making ken look bad after ep4 s2 , that they themselves became evil.
Also, Rebecca and sarah, they didn't deserve to die, and their deaths were just thrown at you.
Nick and Sarah comments intensifies!
And I agree.
I think Rebecca's was well done. She was well developed, had a good role in the story, and had her last moments as an overall nice lady.
I was really shocked/sad when she died.
me too, i screamed for 5 minutes straight the second she turned, i didn't choose to shoot her or yell for help, i just yelled.
this was just for shock factor
Anybody really surprised that Sarah died? She couldn't hack it in that world. Honestly I figured she was did the second she ran off screaming with walkers hot on her heels.
I agree, Rebecca's death actually made sense, given she had just had a baby, so she would be really weak. Although I will admit that by then, I was at the end of my rope and severely depressed having lost Nick and Sarah before in such disgustingly pointless ways. The worst part is that I saw myself in them. Two very real people suffering and trying to cope with loss in a world gone to hell. It scares me what the Ep 3 and 4 writers did with them and the way they tossed Nick and Sarah in the garbage.
Chuck. This poor wise man deserved much more.
ask not for whom the bell tolls...
It tolls for thee...
R.I.P. Chuck. At least something heroic caused his death.
cough nick cough
I wish Kenny could've gotten the same death treatment as Jack Torrance.
the most disappointing death was the missing death of arvo
Nobody's, really.
I actually really liked Luke's death. Nick's death was the only one I thought was really cheaply done.
I'm actually glad that didn't happen. The only character in my top three who's still alive.
luke and sarah, i mean i wish atleast one character from the cabin survived season2 but oh well, only season 2 characters we may see are mike bonnie and arvo.
At this point in the game, i don't care who dies, as long as the game plays interesting like the Nate scene in the DLC. If its another Clementine cry story please shoot me now. Thank god they're doing something new.
This. Don't forget Omid.
Carlos' death was really disappointing. I was hoping Sarah would die, and it would develop his character, not the other way around (although Sarah wasn't developed at all after Carlos' death).
How's the suffering been? It's nearly the 3 month anniversary.
Omid, Luke and Pete's. They were disappointing because I didn't want them to die.
I was so looking forward to playing again and happy to see that it was indeed Omid and Christa that Clem found, then BAM Omid is gone
Luke and Pete both became likable instantly to me. They were both the first new characters Clem found. We only had Pete for one episode but it was set up to give hope that he could survive and a part of me really thought he would at the cost of amputation.. Would have been an interesting path to take and don't get me started on Luke.
Also Nick, Alvin and Sarah but for different reasons. I don't like how if you saved Nick and Alvin, you don't see them again for most of the episode. Kinda defeats the purpose of saving them. Admittedly Saving Alvin gives Alvin a better death -going out as a hero- but Saving Nick gives him a worse death as he dies off screen and you see his zombiefied corpse stuck in a fence. Then Sarah... I always felt she had so much potential with Clem as her teacher. She just had to loose Carlos to fulfill it. Unfortunately that didn't happen and if you saved her the first time, you got another chance to save her but she still died anyway. Again making the decision to save her, seem pointless. Pete also fits in this category as another save him and he dies anyway.
It hurts as if it happened just yesterday...
Definitely Omid, because he was one of my favourites in the first season. The fact you basically didn't see him in season two ruined me. Nick was another, turn the corner and he's gone.
What I call a disappointing death isn't about who, it's about how. One of the thing's that attracted me to TWD from the very beginning was Sandra's death by Lee with the Hammer. That was so graphic and I loved it. Carver's death was a close second.
This is a Mature rated game and that's what I want to see. Now I do understand and agree that some death's are actually better not really being shown.. Like Duck. It wasnt about being graphic, it was about being heart broken. Duck's death was perfect imo.
But I was disappointed in Sarah's, I felt they should have shown that or at least I wanted to see it. This is TWD, people die horribly and that's part of the expirence I want to see. I'm a big boy, I can handle it, and if telltale can shock me, make me go "holy shit, woooooooow" (like I did with Sandra and Carver) then I feel they've done me and this game a service.
Carver's death was probably my favorite scene in the season to be honest. It may have been to early but it was done extremely well. I don't think it was too early though.
then again season 2 could've written better than that :'/
Jane's death: It has no real impact to it. She just gets stabbed and that's it. Kenny gets an emotional and worthwhile death, that's fair enough given the gravitas and role of his character. Jane doesn't need some heart-wrenching goodbye like Kenny's, but she needs a death that actually has an emotional kick to it. She should have gotten something more visceral, like Ben's death in Around Every Corner: you get to watch him break both his legs and get eaten alive so you can feel like a piece of shit for letting him go. If I saw Jane choking on her own blood, gurgling and desperately struggling to breathe and stay alive as the life slowly drains from her eyes, I'd feel much more awful about it. Right now she just yells "AUGH", lets out a gasp, and dies. There's no kick to that at all, you're just like "Well... okay then" instead of "Good god this is actually a really brutal death jesus christ why did I just do that"
Both of Nick's deaths: Neither of them are really acknowledged by anyone, and the lack of reaction make his deaths feel pointless, like they weren't even a loss for anyone. Hell, the only person that gives a shit about his episode 2 death is Carlos asking where he is. His episode 4 death, however, is in a league of it's own in just being a piss-poor way to end a character that deserved better. The writers managed to make a death so unceremonious that I actually felt more angry and irritated than I did sad about it. I want to feel bad about his death, about him ending up as a zombie and me having to ultimately put him down, but I just can't. His own group barely seems fazed by the fact that he's gone. Deaths like Duck & Katjaa visibly hammered the group; when they died, everyone left was either depressed or utterly shell-shocked by it. When Nick dies, Rebecca cries for two seconds, and Luke just says "fuck" in a really sad tone.
Carlos' death: If Sarah would've developed from his loss, I would've been fine with it, but since she doesn't, it makes his death pointless, much like Nick's, because there's no real sense of loss or impact from him dying. Shock factor deaths like this only work if the characters actually give a damn about the shocking death in question. Carley got a shock factor death that actually worked; Carlos did not.
On a more positive note, I found Pete and Luke's deaths to be pretty well done. When Pete died, it definitely affected characters, and wasn't immediately forgotten or cast aside. It obviously affects Nick heavily, it's brought up and acknowledged by other characters after it happens, and when Reggie outright asks what happened to him, everyone looks visibly saddened at the mention of him. Luke's death was pretty much the catalyst to the group completely falling apart. It affected both Bonnie and Jane pretty heavily, Mike was pretty shell-shocked over his death, it even hit Kenny, despite how he felt about him. Their deaths actually carried some weight.
Rush written....
Luke.
