    i'm not the one who brought up personal attacks, but if you can't read you own words or comprehend what you are saying, you implied i was a fucking asshole and that i was a sociopath, maybe you could explain how i personally attacked you.

    back to sarah, you are ignoring the fact that carlos had her entire life to teach sarah how to be a competent human being, however sometimes people are mentally challenged and cannot ever become as competent as most other people, that is life, and to deny that is just insulting to people that are mentally challenged and the people that care for them, basically saying if only they or their parents had just tried harder people with mental issues would just be fine.

    Those comments weren't directed at you. They were directed at your ideas. Specifically speaking, they were directed at the idea that Clementine's entire group - a group that included such individuals as Luke, who would canonically be willing to go to hell and back for their people - cared for naught but their own survival. You stated that these people were essentially relieved when Sarah died, whereas I believe that goes against almost everything we know about these people. Even Jane, the most "pragmatic" one in the group, is upset enough by Sarah's death to leave the group (however temporarily). By stating what you did, you implied that these people where no better than the likes of Crawford and Carver, two people who were (admittedly, this is my opinion) complete fucking assholes. I strongly disagreed with this characterization, and made my objections known in an admittedly harshly worded manner. In this case, I felt the point in question warranted such harsh language, and I stand by that assertion.

    That said, if you would be seriously willing to sacrifice a young girl - in the most horrific manner possible - in the vague hopes of improving your own chance for survival, then yes, I personally feel that that does make you a horrible person. I'm speaking my personal opinion here, and while that isn't meant as a personal attack, you can take it as one if you so choose.

    With regards to your attacks against me, the following lines don't exactly leave a lot of wiggle room.

    i am just sick of 12 year old girls on the forums...

    if you feel the need to defend such an incompetent character like sarah, maybe that means you identify with them, and also maybe that means you should stop making excuses and learn to be more competent and useful yourself.

    (not to imply that being a twelve-year-old girl is an insult, but in this case, I'm pretty sure it was meant as such)

    With regards to your comments about Sarah, at no point did she strike me as not being a "competent human being". That said, there is quite a massive gulf between "competent human being" and "competent survivor in world infested with flesh eating corpses", a gulf I feel she could have crossed had she not been killed because the writers felt like "shocking" us. Am I saying she would have been as competent as the likes of Lee and Clementine? No. Am I saying she could have been trained to use a gun, tend a campfire, and generally been an asset to her group? Absolutely.

    Also, you've spent most of the day arguing that Sarah should essentially be euthanized for the good of the group. You don't get to take the high road by implying I'M the one insulting individuals with mental health issues.

  • when did i say sarah should be euthanised or that i would be willing to sacrifice a young girl in the vague hopes of improving my own survival?

    i said:

    in the back of their minds i bet everybody thought "this is for the best" while she died

    and i also said

    although it may be sad, it is one less burden and danger to the group, everybody has some pragmatism in them, especially when it comes to a basic instinct like survival,

    in no way was i saying anything about sacrifice or euthanasia.

    and you didn't actually explain how what i said was a personal attack however you did say:

    I personally feel that that does make you a horrible person.

    first off why would you be in the middle of a herd carrying a baby? is clem carrying the baby? if the answer to those two absurd situatio

  • she was never actually "in the middle of the herd" in that ending, she was walking towards it for some stupid reason, but she could have came to her senses and avoided them, but if she didn't and the baby did make noise, the only thing she could do would be fight and run as i said

    I see someone didn't see the alone ending.

  • I don't think you understand how hard it is to get through a large herd of walkers while carrying a baby.

  • well of course i can only imagine, but i imagine it would be very hard and it would be a stupid thing to attempt unless it was your only option, and in the alone ending clementine clearly had many other options

    Come on, you're telling me you don't have first hand experience?

  • i know, it's hard to believe, but there are infact many things i have yet to experience in life :P

  • Maybe one day we can all experience the joy of a zombie apocalypse.

    Anyway, past my bad effort at making jokes, while Clem can walk around the herd, I suspect that would take too much time...even though, where do you have to go? It just seems obvious from how the cutscene plays out that she'll walk into it. Therefore making the whole bad scenario thing you brought up earlier proven wrong.

    You are right however, it is a terrible idea to walk into a herd with a baby.

    i know, it's hard to believe, but there are infact many things i have yet to experience in life :P

  • yeah i agree she was probably going to try and walk through them (no matter how bad of an idea that was)

    but what was "the whole bad scenario thing" i brought up, not trying to be funny, but i just don't know

  • first off why would you be in the middle of a herd carrying a baby? is clem carrying the baby?

    if the answer to those two absurd situations is just because and yes

    These two things. It's not that you said a bad situation but that you said someone else was making a bad situation.

    yeah i agree she was probably going to try and walk through them (no matter how bad of an idea that was) but what was "the whole bad scenario thing" i brought up, not trying to be funny, but i just don't know

  • oh right, i get what you mean, i still think it is an absurd thing to do, but it was heavily implied that it would happen, so the chance that it did happen is far from absurd, infact thinking/hoping it didn't happen is absurd

  • The real question here is, why did she have to die in the first place?

  • I find her annoying because she's incapable of doing anything. Like i said it's my opinion.

    I know finding a character annoying is subjective, but I fail to see how Sarah can be considered annoying. If I were to think of an annoying character, this kid fits the title well: enter link description here

  • No. The plot wanted her dead and it made it all too obvious. She fell and got stuck under plot rubble which made no sense

  • She's more or less incapable of doing anything because no one allows her to do anything for herself or for the group. That's hardly her fault.

    I find her annoying because she's incapable of doing anything. Like i said it's my opinion.

  • I also felt like her death was unnecessary, however I think that even if Jane surprisingly managed to free her from the rubble in less than 10 seconds, Sarah wouldn't lift a finger and Jane would have to carry her all the way up. I don't think that would be possible when there was so little time. She was afraid of her own shadow by that time.

  • Of course Sarah could have survived if Jane had actually bothered to be a decent fucking human being, but... y'know.

    But there's also the possibility that Sarah could have broken her legs from the fall.

  • aj is a baby

    sarah is a huge baby

    Couldn't help but laugh at these two, but then get really bitter.

    aj is a baby and you can hold a baby with one arm or a bag, sarah is a huge baby child that can freak out and you can't control. seriously, i shouldn't need to explain a baby's role in society.

  • Jane? Jane actually goes down to help while Luke, Bonnie, and Mike just stand there.

    Of course Sarah could have survived if Jane had actually bothered to be a decent fucking human being, but... y'know. But there's also the possibility that Sarah could have broken her legs from the fall.

  • She does, but nearly every commentary about Sarah is more or less this:

    "She doesn't want to be saved!"

    "She'll only drag you down with her!"

    "She's not strong enough to survive!"

    "You're just delaying the inevitable!"

    Jane never says anything positive or expresses any concern to a girl who did her no wrong, and most of her dialogue behind her back is usually condescending. For someone who used to have a younger sister who is similar to Sarah, Jane sure likes to belittle them.

  • Well I know if I was in Jane's position at the trailer park, I'd do the same thing. Sarah was not moving, and that could've killed Clementine and Jane. Let's not forget when you are prompted to pull Jane up or tell her to save Sarah, if you choose the silent option, Jane actually risks her own life to go down and help Sarah.

  • I understand that Jane will help Sarah of her own accord, but her hesitation and reluctance in initially helping Sarah is what gave the walkers time to kill Sarah.

    Then again, I also blame Luke, Bonnie, and Mike for doing nothing to help Sarah.

  • Jane goes down to help reluctantly, and doesn't even bother to properly lift the wood up.

  • I'm not saying they're not at fault, but Mike and Bonnie were covering Jane. And Luke and Clementine probably thought Jane had it under control, considering all she had to do was lift up wood and let Sarah squirm out of there and run up the deck.

  • How was Sarah a burden exactly? She didn't kill anyone or get anyone hurt, plus she wanted to learn how to survive.

    i think if everybody tried to help she may have survived, but others could have gotten hurt, and after that she would have just been a burde
