The Real Pizza and Ice Cream Choice and your thoughts
I've already played episode 5 twice, and wow I really liked. Telltale actually didn't have crappy deaths like in ep 4.
How did you feel about there not being a Luke vs Kenny fight?
Also, your thoughts on Luke's death and the final showdown between Kenny and Jane?
As well, what did you think about Mike, Bonnie, and Arvo trying to leave the group.
And finally, who did you save and did you decide to go with them? What choice did you make with them later?

I was happy to be able to know that I wouldn't have to chose between two characters that grew on me (Luke more than Kenny, although I had to do that in the end anyway..) Luke's death made me a little upset and made me get a little teary but I didn't break down. I really liked his character, and I really wish he could have lived, but I just thought practically watching him die no matter what you chose was really sad. I feel betrayed that they left with Arvo. I mean, really. I understand Kenny was insane, but to completely up and leave and have that result in Clementine shot? Unbelievable. I chose to save Jane and to forgive her, since Kenny went total apeshit, I would have to, but to attempt to kill Jane? I felt like it was his time to go already and I burst out in tears when he died. I felt he wouldn't have to suffer anymore than he was already. Of course Jane's plan was really stupid and could have went a different way, but I didn't think Clem would be okay on her own with a baby, especially. I wish this game could have an actual happy ending, but this is The Walking Dead, there are no happy endings.
Pretty much sums up my thoughts about the episode
I wasn't so emotional about Luke's death, call me heartless, but it was still sad to see him go out like that.
First time I chose Jane, because I thought that without the baby Kenny would just go absolutely apeshit. When I discovered she just hid the baby I was really fucking mad and wanted to kill her, but I thought that Clementine wouldn't survive alone with the baby. I was really unhappy about choosing Jane, so I reverted the save, chose Kenny and stayed in Wellington.
I was a little surprised there wasn't gonna be one last heated Kenny vs Luke battle but I was cool that it didn't happen.
Luke's death was tough especially if you tried to save him and you just see him being dragged deeper into the abyss as you have to watch his scared expression as he sinks deeper and deeper all the while with the thought going in the back of your head(At least mine) being: "What a shitty birthday."
Mike, Bonnie, and Arvo was just messed up and extremely selfish, I mean I understand pity Arvo because he was a kid and maybe because he looked like a Russian Harry Potter, but they completely ignored or forgotten the fact that HE WAS PARTIALLY RESPONSIBLE for what happened to them previously and when they got into the shootout, And it was a huge slap in the face for them to keep spitting on Kenny for his treatment towards him and in addition trying to abandon them the way they did. They act as if THEY were the one being abused and beaten to death by Kenny.....
Jane vs Kenny......That was just foul and totally messed up the stunt Jane was pulling. And when you found out the truth it can just make you hate Jane even more...at least if you have enough reasonable sense to understand the weight of what's happened.
I personally Shot Kenny at first, but when I found out the truth and saw the more darker ending I said screw that and did the smart thing and sided with Kenny and it was a MUCH better alternative. I also chose to stay in Wellington because dammnit it's what Lee would have wanted all along and that has been Her goal all along to get to Wellington.
I was a tad disappointed that there wasn't greater friction between Luke and Kenny. I felt that Luke being one of the cabin group's leader, and Kenny... well being Kenny; there should have been a showdown to determined who was going to lead the group. Luke's death wasn't much of a shocker. The trend was the slow and methodical extermination of all members of the cabin group. Luke being the last member alive, in my mind, it was inevitable.
Mike, Bonnie, and Arvo wanting to leave wasn't a surprise either. Immediately when you get to the house you were getting that vibe that they weren't happy and were murmuring their subtle intentions. I was annoyed with Arvo. I went out of my way in episode 4 and again in episode 5 to accommodate Arvo. Made every effort to treat him nicely and prevent Kenny from totally beating his ass, and, near as I can figure, he shoots Clem for killing the walker that was his sister. But I really can't blame them for wanting to leave. Everybody else, except Kenny, was trying to form their decisions on mutual agreement. With Kenny it was always his way or no way at all... and if the group objected Kenny then became even louder and even more violent in his tone to get his way.
Now for the showdown between Kenny and Jane... it was inevitable as well. Jane is strong willed and won't put up with people's bullshit, and Kenny rapidly devolving attitude towards anyone except himself and AJ (I've exclude Clementine because if you don't agree with Kenny on his Wellington plan he does hold it against her). The choice between the two was easy for me, and I chose Jane. She's no saint, but she's at least even keeled when compared to Kenny's impulsiveness and his bouts of rage.
