Am I the only one?
Am I the only person who is getting less and less excited for Season 3 the more news they release?
When they announced we would be playing as Javier, I immediately didn't want to play it anymore. I've been looking forward to playing as an older Clementine, not as a man who we haven't even met. The emotional bond the player has with Clementine is what makes the game so great for me.
And comic book characters showing up? I really feel like they're going to end up taking away from the Telltale characters.
I don't know, I have pretty shitty opinions. I enjoyed Season 2 more than Season 1. (I absolutely loved both seasons though!!) Which I guess is why I'm not looking forward to playing as Javier. I might wait until some playthroughs are done and consider buying it. But right now I'm unsure.

I'm really looking forward to it, this season has high hopes. To each his own i suppose.
I'm indifferent to Season 3 in general.
I'm not sure what to expect from Season 3. Hopes were crashed after the end of Season 2 and I wasn't really crazy about the Michonne series like many of people outside of Telltale Games fanbase
I got high hopes that Telltale won't repeat their previous missteps.
Belive me your not man. if they keep giveing just some news or photos to us and nothing about we need to know like kenny and jane or an other trailer and of course a date of the game when its going out every one going to lose his attention to this up coming game sooner or later
I got other stuff to do so yeah, I'm not overhyped.
I'm not as hyped as I would have expected to be. I should be bouncing off the walls and replaying the game every few weeks. Javier could work as a character which I will come to enjoy immensely, but he has a long road to go. Unlike you I was not big on season 2 and I didn't like the Michonne series very much either so Telltale no longer has my full trust to make this work. So while im looking forward to seeing Clem again, I am mostly filled with trepidation and frustration knowing I will have to deal with a third wheel.
I'm really excited for S3, I already like Javier and I want to play as him. I'm happy there's someone bringing something new to the story, not just Clem Clem Clem. I love Clementine, but still I'd like to see something new. I wish people would give him a chance and stopped bitching like we won't see Clementine AT ALL.
I'm excited for Season 3, I just hope it makes sense chronologically and doesn't stray too far from Season 2. I don't want a repeat of Season 2, with one familiar character having an overbearing presence, but some references to old characters and events would be nice. We need to see what happened to Kenny or Jane, not an offscreen death, and find out what became of Christa.
You do know that we play as both Javier and Clementine, right? The way you phrased it seems like you don't.
I'm always excited for new Walking Dead game characters, they usually bring so much to the table, even if they end up getting scrapped.
I'm looking forward to Season 3 but I have to admit that the introduction of more comic characters into the game has put me off, because I'd prefer to keep the game and comics separate, and it feels like the focus is being taken off of Clementine. I'm not sure about Javier yet, but I hope he'll be an interesting character. We have to give him a chance - we didn't know anything about Lee in Season 1 but eventually we got to know his character and liked him. It's the same with Javier, so we'll just have to give it time and see what he's like. (We've only seen him in screenshots and a short trailer after all)
...AND Bonnie and Mike.
...and Taavia and Becca...
I have high hopes for S3 to be well done and spicy, but some doubts come along with it. Already we got the community talking over every little detail and playing Javier as well could add a little something extra like it did with TFTB (which was a great game). S2 and S1 have not dissapointed me, so here's hoping the good times keep rolling.
Explain, please, I want to hear/see this.
Yes, I just feel like playing as Javier will take me out of the experience. I wasn't a fan of the whole protagonist switching in Tales From The Borderlands, and I don't want that to happen with The Walking Dead.
I'm not worried about not seeing Clem at all, my main hope for this season was to be able to play as her.
No I'm aware, I should've clarified. I just don't particularly like the idea of switching characters, I didn't like it in Tales From The Borderlands and I don't expect to like it in this game.
You mean like in 400 Days?
While I agree TFTB was a good game, I wasn't all for the character switches. It felt too jumpy for me, and I don't think TWDG is a game where you can be so jumpy.
You play as both, that means Javier AND CLEMENTINE.
Starting with the kids, we have Clem (a resourceful 8-year-old we need to take care of and eventually grow as), Duck (presents the dilemma of "what if a kid was bitten" as well as potentially being the first mentally-disabled character), Ben (technically a late-teenager, meaning we're dealing with someone who's neither a child nor an adult, and he just happens to try to keep his group safe while being alienated and screwing up), Becca (the first actual-sibling-of-the-player who we thought we'd get to mold), Sarah (trauma-stricken, sheltered, and trying to put trust in the player), Arvo (physically weak and harder to communicate with, hard to tell if we could trust him compared to the other kids), AJ (the first baby), and the Fairbanks (reminders of people you left behind).
With player characters (bar Clem, who I already mentioned), there's Lee (teacher-turned-criminal with a duty to protect a lone child no matter whether or not he regrets killing his wife's secret lover), Vince (a criminal who we hardly know anything about, so we don't know if he's good news or not), Bonnie (a recovering drug addict), Shel (the only PC with an active sibling-role), Russell (who, at the time, was the only PC looking for their own family), Tavia (a camp scout with a then-unknown affiliation), and Michonne (the only playable character who had a history outside of the games).
In terms of groups, we have the motor inn Traveliers (ex-military folks, the only "complete" family, and whoever feels guilty for being saved), the railroad survivors (a pregnant woman and her optimistic boyfriend, and a literal hobo), the St. John's (a family that survives on cannibalism at a dairy farm), the cancer survivors and expert scavenger Molly, the Stranger/Campman (revenge-seeker and a man trying to prove he can be a good father), the cabin group (a doctor with a living relative, a depressed guy whose uncle dies soon after you meet him, a supposedly-nice group leader who rescues you while you're injured--by the only living pet you manage to come across, and a pregnant woman who might have committed infidelity against a husband she fears for no readily apparent reason, almost none of these people trusting you--a child--during first impressions), the cabin group (a gay couple who you have already wronged and a woman who an old acquaintance is using as a Replacement Goldfish), the Howe's group (with the first rapist/leader combination in the game timeline and a surviving amputee), and the Monroe residents (specifically dubious-but-possibly-reasonable community leader Norma and her trigger-finger brother who she has trouble trying to keep a leash on).
Oh, I get ya. You like the variation of character concepts, types, races, backgrounds, and personalities that we encounter. That I can definitely agree on that.
I also wanna note that you forgot Michelle, Wyatt(my least favorite of the 400 Days PCs), Troy, Mike, and named the cabin group twice(you mean ski lodge). And what did you mean when you described Rebecca?
,
I have high hopes for S3 and I hope that our choices will have a better impact then the first two seasons.
The only 2 things i want to know from Season 3 (with more news coming this Friday are):
Honestly this is something i've wanted to know since Season 3 was first announced.
Yeah, I couldn't pinpoint what exactly I thought it was that Michelle put in. I think I left Wyatt out on purpose (as much as I like him far more than Vince, I didn't feel like there was anything unique with him). I dunno about Troy, either, although I felt like he could've made for a complex character if he got to leave with Clem's group. I was gonna write about Mike that he could've been a maybe-ally, maybe-person-who-attacked-your-friend (Christa) and completely forgot to add him >_<; With Rebecca, I meant that she could've cheated on Alvin with Carver, but we don't know if she did, and in any case, she feels afraid to tell him that either she cheated on him with Carver or was raped by Carver, because she's afraid that Alvin will hurt her by finding out, despite the player and Clementine not having any reason so far to believe that he'd be a threat (considering he tried to vouch for helping her with medical supplies when Carlos first checked her bite, and if you approach him at the window, he won't out you and might even try to help as best he can).
Btw, thanks for catching the typo.
Michelle would fall under the kids apparently as a petty thief with a few standards, a bully with no bite, or a unprofessional nihilist.
Wyatt has that erudite stoner thing I guess. Too bad its his only noteworthy characteristic.
Same here. It was part of the reason Jane was so suspicious in her first episode, though it did serve as clever foreshadowing in my opinion.
Jeez, and I thought my theories about Sarah were dark...
I can understand. I'm having trouble trying to be hyped for the release of Season 3, after having found Season 2 to be a somewhat disappointing experience overall, and not being all that impressed with the Michonne series.
Not to say that I'll be expecting the official release of Season 3 to disappoint me, but more in the lines with lowering my expectations a bit and holding off my judgement before all episodes are released.
Well TT thinks they can pull it off. Perhaps they'll be more subtle about it in S3, I guess we'll find out soon enough.
At the ski lodge, Rebecca confesses to Clem that the baby is not Alvin's and she expresses the thought that Alvin will kill her if he finds out. Clementine can then either agree or disagree with Rebecca or state that she doesn't really know what to say to her.
...and Lilly...
...Lilly's pretty cool...
...I really like her...
...like, I'd be SO happy if she appeared again...
...REALLY happy...
...TellTale, pls........
Yes, I'm aware.
I do not want to play as Javier. I should've phrased better and said only Clem. My apologies. The character switching is more than likely going to take me out of the experience anyway. Either way, I'm unhappy with the decision that Telltale made in this.
I am interested in getting to see all of these below.
Maybe it won't be that bad as you think it is
400 Days was different, it was different characters and entirely different stories each episode. TFTB was one story, two protagonists and random switching.
I still have hope that it will be good, Telltale's games are always good. I just don't think it will great. It'll probably hit me the way Season 2 did for most people.
What way?
As I said, Season 2 was my favourite season. But I was underwhelmed by Michonne as well. I don't think Season 3 will be awful. I just don't think it'll live up to Season 1 or 2 for me.
I'm excited to see all this too, but as I've mentioned, the way they shape the characters and the protagonist switching could out-weigh the positive of this game if it isn't done entirely right.
