Alone Ending players have an advantage.
They don't have to worry if Kenny/Jane is alive and well. They either killed Kenny left him, or let Jane die/ Leave Jane. I think TellTale will make Season 3 Episode 1 like Game Of Thrones episode 6. That's how I hope its done and I think that's the route they'll take.

Don't forget the Wellington ending
Edith is love. Edith is life!
Lucky bastards.
Don't forget the badass Clementine ending: Let Kenny kill Jane, then shoot Kenny immediately after.
More like asshole ending, right?
You allow Jane to be killed, when she was carrying this out in Clementine's potential benefit, and you also convince Kenny that he deserves to be killed, just before killing him.
Correct, my Clementine is a scum bag.
I think it's pretty Badass of Clem when she tells Jane to go fuck herself and leaves her standing in the snow too. I always wind up with the alone ending, nothing else ever feels right.
Given that Clem is more then capable to defend and take care of herself, I can see the advantage of the alone ending. Though don't forget we don't yet know the fate of Alvin Jr, so she maybe still taking care of him.
The ends justify the means.
The end is to get two people with good intentions, but who blindly engaged in a fight, killed, and the means is to kill one after they have killed the other.
You know who also thought that way?
H...
...
awke.
Hawke.
Ethan Hawke.
Yeah, that's right
Ethan Hawke thought that way
Do you really want to be like Ethan Hawke
Ethan Hawke?
The man from Training Day who stopped Denzel Washington from being a corrupt asshole cop?
Yes. Yes I would.
Hmm... I always thought that the alone ending was the worst ending for Clementine and AJ.
The ends is to kill a racist short-sighted, short-tempered, volatile, small penis, no-eye-having psychopath from ever harming anyone again.
Hell, fuck that. Just not to be in the story anymore really. So yes, ends far far unequivocally justify the means.
Wow. I took issue with a lot of Kenny's decisions and his general attitude, but he was hardly a psychopath. Sheesh. His son had to be put down and hit wife killed herself. I think that would throw anyone off balance, much more so after an apocalypse. Kenny didn't force anyone to stay with him. Please let's not bring race or private parts into this either.
I didn't like the alone ending. It's unrealistic to expect an 11 yr old to be able to survive and care for a baby. Going back to Howe's with Jane makes the most sense. They knew the place existed, unlike Wellington, and that there was food there. In the alone ending, Clementine has no food, one gun, and limited ammo. In order to hunt she would have to find a secure place for AJ (not easy considering he could wake up at any moment and start crying) since he can't defend himself or run away. The nearest shelter is probably miles away and they are on foot. Babies need fed every few hours.
Usually, my interpretation of a psychopath is someone who is willing to crush in a man's head without consent in front of a terrified daughter and little girl, bludgeoning a man to death with a crowbar, constantly butting heads with people and is fully willing to murder again and again without thinking or displaying signs of remorse or regret. He definitely doesn't seem exactly stable.
And sure, he's family dying was a very tragic event, if not caused in part by him rushing to start up a vehicle in order to leave Lilly behind while Lee and Lilly stagger to keep his aforementioned family alive and safe. What happened to "family first?" It's wasn't "mean's of escape first, then my family," so there already is either a huge fallacy in his own agenda or the writers wrote a seriously huge plot-hole (both are viable, I choose to believe that he's a hypocrite because it's an all too common theme with his "morals.")
In terms of the penis comment, I'm sure TellTale at this point would like to have made his schlong around 13 inches, the realist answer... probably 2 or 3, erect. Judging solely by his constant anger and seemingly needing to abuse those around him to feel like a big man.
I have to agree, Alone ending is rather dark, pessimistic, and improbable when you take in consideration of what would be the most possible outcome of that ending is if it were to happen in a different zombie apocalypse game altogether.
Okay, I will sacrifice Kenny in order to let Jane live, ten iterated times if necessary, but she dies either way in the route that @alexgo described. Would you like her to die, too.
Machiavelli was a cool guy though.
Regarding Larry, had there been time, they could have tried to resuscitate him for longer. However, CPR had been tried, and had he reanimated he could have bit Lilly. They were all facing being butchered alive and eaten by true psychopaths. I'm inclined to give Kenny a pass on that one. Carver was overkill. They should have shot him and been done with it. We see overkill of an abuser frequently in games and television though, and I honestly think that would be a normal reaction. To be fair, Carver beat Kenny near to death and destroyed his eye. I will agree with you on the roadside standoff, to the extent that Kenny's number one priority should have been protecting his family, not condemning Lilly. I let Lilly stay with us, no small favour considering I really liked Doug. I think the writers screwed up Kenny. They should have wrote a redemption/recovery arc for him or left him out of Season 2 altogether. He was originally supposed to take Carver's place. Telltale scrapped that idea and made him a sort of secondary antagonist. It doesn't work in my opinion. The other characters suffered from underdevelopment due to Kenny.
Btw I've been abused by a man and genital size has nothing to do with it. That's a myth......
I don't know or want to know what you're implying here, all I know is that I as a child was also abused by a man who frequently beat my mother and I so I don't care about life stories.
Kenny is a piece of shit, end of story.
Im not sure how not having kenny or jane is an advantage. Despite there flaws they are still both capable adults who could help clementine.
I'm not "implying" anything. I'm stating a fact. That men can be a-holes regardless of their anatomy. For the record, I shot Kenny and went with Jane. She felt like the lesser of two evils at that point. That is not to say she isn't self-centred and manipulative in her own way. Kenny inspired pity in me rather than hatred. I think shooting him was a poignant moment for Clementine. She realises how much the world has changed, that being weak or scared is no longer an option, and that there are no easy choices or even "right" choices anymore. Season 2 had a few plot holes and weak writing, but I think the endings were fitting and could potentially set up a really kickass Season 3. You are entitled to your opinion of Kenny and probably won't appreciate my two cents, but thank you for being civil. Have a happy fourth of July. :-)
They will just miss out on the cutscene were the writers execute the survivors in order to clean the slate
I've been worrying about that since the finale.
There is no best/worst choice, imo.
Thank you, and to you as well.
But what does that mean? Your saying its an advantage because you are not worrying about them being fine, so them being dead is better than possibly in danger?
…logic.
Really alone is the worst, clementine is alone with a baby in the middle of nowhere and surrounded by walkers. I know there can be arguments for all but that ending is pretty much her worst case scenario
Well that's you. I love my ending and wouldn't change it, so that makes it the best for me. I also think the Kenny ending is the worst. But that's me.
You see, it's all a matter of opinion.
Alone ending players will have the advantage to start Season 3 with the secret bonus scene of Clem walking alone with AJ singing: "I walk a lonely road, the only one that I have ever known. Don't know where it goes, but it's home to me and I walk alone..."
...Okay, I'll leave now.
P.S: If anyone's curious or didn't get the reference, it's "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" by Green Day. XD
In your opinion, but I'm sure there are people who'd rather be alone. I'm sure the people who chose that ending felt a since of freedom in that herd.
I'd say so. You've already said goodbye to them. If you chose the alone ending, the only thing you'd really need to worry about is where Clem's going.
P.s. I don't think he/she meant an advantage for S3, but more of an advantage throughout the wait time. (Edit) I took it that way at least.
Thats....pretty terrible logic but alright....
Yeah okay like I said you could somehow argue its better but im not seeing it, its the only ending where she finds no other people and is on her own taking care of a baby with walkers everywhere.
That's a little insulting, not sure how else I'm supposed to put it. Kenny and Jane are dead, Clem puts guts on her and AJ. What would you have to worry about that's equivalant to the death of Kenny/Jane? The death of Clem? I wouldn't worry about that too much if I chose that ending.
First lemme say that in my ending, I went with Jane to Howes. But in the Alone ending, with Clem wise and brave enough to cover herself and AJ in walker blood and just walk past them, to me that makes Clem bad ass. She's smart, fearless and willing to do what's needed to survive and protect AJ.
As said, their are valid arguments for any ending anyone chooses which I think is what makes these games so good. We're all different people playing them with different opinions and personalities deciding to do what we feel is best.
I chose to go with Jane simply because I felt she had alot she could teach Clem from survival to fighting and even human character manipulation. Let's face it, Jane has some history with "playing" people and that could be a very good skill to have. But the alone ending in itself is pretty cool and I think Clem has the smarts to basically deal with almost any situation.
