The Kenny choice was the hardest choice in the whole game for me..
I shot Kenny literally as the knife was going to impale Jane.

How can you kill Kenny.... Seriously....
So, did you regret it?
I did the same, but I'll say just one thing: Watch his ending in Wellington. You'll change your mind.
Kenny is great.
You chose poorly.
It was one of the easiest decisions I've ever had to make in the series. My cursor was hovering over the screen, and I was anxiously awaiting getting to put a bullet in that crazy hillbilly. Not even a split-second hesitation when the option appeared to put him down.
I understand why people shot him in the heat of the moment, but I could never. If you watch the endings with Kenny, you see just how selfless he is.
Its crazy some people would do that. I hated Jane soooo much, whereas even though Kenny is a bit off, he would never do anything to put Clementine in danger. If you take him to Wellington, he practically begs them to just take Clem and AJ in.
Kenny for life guys
I didnt want to put him down but the truth is; Jane was right in my opinion he was just going to crack again... im pissed at Jane for tricking me though.
No. I care for Clem above all. Kenny was a great guy, But he was insane and couldn't be trusted. The whole season I was with him I sat down with him instead of Luke. I agreed with him almost 100%. But he was too far gone. I left Jane also. These groups always fall apart. Sort of tired of it. Me and the baby is better imo.
the only hard part about that decision was that there wasn't a shoot jane option, so i had to trust that telltale wasn't tricking me into letting kenny die
It was a hard choice i'll agree. But i will have to say, in my opinion. You made the wrong choice.
...Sometimes I miss the dislike button. Oh well. I disagree with you (hillbillies don't come from Florida).
Easy... just aim and pull the trigger.
That's not a good reason. Because at the time of the choice, you don't know what would've happened at the end.
It's about doing what you think is right, not "what's the most 'Hollywood ending' ending."
He wasn't insane at all. Just angry.
Kenny's problem was, he chose one person (in Season 2 anyway) and they were the only person that mattered. Once that baby was born, only the baby really mattered, sure he still cared a great deal about Clem, that was plain to see, but it was baby first.
But I think Jane was right, she said the baby had gone in an accident... (Clem had stumbled in on her own, so clearly something went majorly wrong even if Kenny didn't hear the crash)...and Kenny tried to kill her for it. Jane cared about Clem too and she was worried Kenny would hurt Clem eventually if anything happened to the baby, no because Kenny was a bad guy, but because the baby was his chosen person to care for; as soon as anything happened to the baby his thoughts for anyone else vanished.
Yup I hated Jane when I saw the truth, but think back to Luke, as far as Clem knows (in her world it's unscripted remember) she could have Saved Luke if she'd listened to Bonnie. She tried to help and someone died, now Jane tried to help Clem and it went too far and someone died. What Jane did was wrong, but in my mind Clem has guilt she's done similar, so I forgave her.
Kenny is the man. He always protected Clem, he lost his eye for Clem, he lost his whole new life because of that group. I stuck with Kenny because he always had my back. Jane can go to hell, I am glad I let her DIE.
Letting Jane die because I think Kenny is a better person isn't a good reason? Speak for yourself, because that's exactly what I think is right. I didn't trust Jane and couldn't forgive what she did, so she died. You can take your "I hate Hollywood endings" attitude somewhere else.
Kenny has been with Clem since the beginning. If i was in Clem's position i just couldn't do it. I wouldn't side with Jane because there is no history and i would see her as another Molly. I trust Kenny despite everything.
If it was your best friend or say your brother who'd gone crazy like Kenny, would you shoot him? I mean really? In a real life situation think about it. I suppose if you cared more about the person he was trying to kill then yes you could probably shoot him. But for me i just couldn't, unless it was me he was trying to kill. Then your human instinct would kick in
I felt like she'd crossed that barrier with Lee. Yes I know he was going anyway, but I feel that was a turning point. Sure she wouldn't have wanted to shoot Kenny, but if she could shoot Lee, she could shoot Kenny.
Aye, I did not enjoy making the choice either. I felt it had to be done, though.
You have a point
Settle down, you got defensive REALLY fast.
You pretty much stated that your reasoning for letting Kenny kill yet another victim was cause "dur, hiz ending waz so nice. Kenny waz a gud guy. Derp?" Which is a terrible reason. So, you're saying if put in that situation, you'd just let him kill a person because... what? You trust him?
Well gee, I wonder why? You're acting like an ass and clearly have no respect for someone else's opinion. Yes, I trust Kenny despite all his flaws and did not like Jane in the slightest. She pushed Kenny and knew it was reckless, so I had no problem with her dying. Sorry that's not good enough for you.
If you wanted Kenny to die because you thought he was a crazy redneck, good for you. But I'm not going to attack you for it. Saying that my explanation is "a terrible reason" and the like isn't going to earn you any respect though.
But he kind of lost it at some point. He's broken. And it's dangerous to keep him around. He beat a kid half to death. He beat Carver to death, even if he did deserve it. He lost his loved ones, which caused this, I guess. He wasn't stable, I guess. It was such a hard choice though. Made me tear up. I actually liked him. Especially when he wasn't angry.
I was about open a thread about how killing Kenny was the easiest decision I have ever made.
Not only he's a complete wreck and a danger to everyone, he's a weak nerved neurotic fuck and it didn't start with losing his family. He had a terrible temper even back when he had Katjaa and Duck. He just wasn't fit for this world. And as he said, he was pulling everyone down. He should've died a season ago. I'm with Jane, AJ and the family now.
No I'm not. You're misconstruing my arguments.
And how could you like Jane? She directly opposed Kenny's "leadership" and was bringing light to his hypocritical bullshit. Of course you can't like her. What? You probably think she's the Lilly of season two don't you? An incomprehensible demon-lady that was trying to take the spotlight from the great "beardlike savior" huh?
I just finished and I couldn't shoot Kenny. I was hoping he would prove Jane wrong (I wanted to pistol whip Jane as well but you can't get everything). After that, I had to leave Kenny. How many times has he had to apologize for losing it even before his wife and son died? Yes, he just wants to protect people (his wife and son, Clementine, AJ) but killing Jane was just too much for me. I hate to say it but if Clementine had been the one to lose AJ, he probably would have killed her. He probably would have regretted it afterwards but I honesty believe he would have. He is just that far gone.
Thank you for further proving my point, not to mention jumping to conclusions. I appreciate it.
Simply put, I don't like lone wolf types and prefer to remain loyal. Kenny wasn't perfect, far from it. But I liked him, and I'm not going to lie to you. I just couldn't warm up to Jane. Guess that means I should feel bad, huh? Newsflash: not everyone likes Jane. I'm sorry if that hurts you, but it's a fact.
With that said, I'm done with you, so later. A shame this couldn't be discussed politely.
Why don't you think Jane is a good person? Has she not been clutch at every appearance going all the way back to season 1?? Saving people's lives? Including Kenny's?? More than once?? You don't like her because of her no non-sense approach to surviving a zombie apacolypse? Because of the way she doesn't let emotions get in the way of life or death stituations?? Come back down to earth. Lets not forget that this 'is' the end of the bleeping world. She only supported clem at every turn. Kenny and Jane were both friends to clem. Lets not make this a competition between the two. There was no right or wrong ending, there was only a decision, no more no less. The sooner to realize that the longer you last.
At the end of the episode, Kenny proved to me he was a good person. Despite what they all said about him, he just wanted the two children to be safe, to have a small opportunity in this now ruined world. I always had faith in Kenny and I knew that it wasn't a wasted investment, he and Lee are among the best two characters in the whole series to me. And I couldn't have even wished for a better ending, I honored his wishes and stayed at Wellington- it broke my heart to see him walk away alone, but what he did- was give Clementine and AJ a better chance so they don't have to become like him. And I think Lee would be proud of Kenny and his sacrifices for Clementine; yes he did some bad things- but he couldn't have redeemed himself in a better way, that ending speech was remarkable. Hats off to Gavin Hammon as well, he really made Kenny feel that much better. That being said, that's hands down one of the best episodes I've ever played and we've finally got our story branching, thanks a million telltale! 10/10:)
Only cause he wasn't in a group!!
Try to think:
Kenny with Clem and AJ? ---> selfless and good
Kenny in a group? ------> mad and dangerous
"Jumping to conclusions." Then immediately assumes I like Jane, wrong again. I ended on my own, cause fuck Jane for using me and lying. I would've sided with her if she was honest, but she wasn't...
But this whole thing started cause you stated the reason you let Kenny stab Jane was cause you liked his ending. That's not an answer. Sorry if the truth hurts, but it's not any answer.
I agree with everything you said. The only thing is that I couldn't forgive her. At least not so soon. Of course kenny was going to flip out about the baby, who wouldnt? it seemed that the point she was trying to make cancelled itself out and seemed pointless witch led to clem being in a f'd up position that lead to a tragedy. I felt i had to save jane from suffering a horrible death at the expense of someone who i considered was a best friend to clem. So no, i could not forgive jane for that.
Hillbilly:
"A person who lives in the country far away from cities and who is often regarded as someone who lacks education, who is stupid, etc."
He probably had a shack in the Everglades or the Apalachicola National Forest, where he could conduct all his hillbilly activities.
I shot him in the heat of the moment. But I regretted it as I never did before in my life, so to saev my mental health and stop blaming myself, I rewinded the episode. Still can't get rid of a feeling that I betrayed him...
i didn't I never rewind. I am a big fan of Kenny so it hurt to have to shoot him.
Sure...
I forgave her, but I wanted some more dialogue afterwards.
Something like, "Don't forget him Jane, he wasn't a bad person, and now he's dead." I forgave her for the reasons I stated above, but then Clem just started saying Jane was right about everything, whereas I wanted to forgive but still be angry, at least for a while.
I understand why Jane did what she did, but 'she dun goofed'. Yes it went to far and Jane didn't mean for Kenny to die, but she knew he was unstable and his reaction would be the same. But I suppose if she didn't show Clem then, they would have been back to the argument about where to go, so it couldn't wait.
