  • So what? I'm just supposed to let them live?

    In S2 we played as a little girl, so it would be rather worrying if she could kill people like a genocidal machine.

  • Just because sam also isnt a good person doesnt suddenly make norma a good person.

    You know Sam started all this, right? Norma did give her a second chance, but Sam didn't give a shit and made the same mistake again.

  • You're right. I can just thank her so much for killing herself to prove how stupid and coward she was.

  • I am going to ruin the streak and say I thought the premier was done terribly.

    Gotta love how this is the first title in who knows how long where fans aren't chomping at the bit for the next episode and the release date

  • I wouldn't use "terribly" but I agree it was quite bad.

    I'm in the middle; I liked the Solo Javi bits, but I think the story would be stronger without the forced connections to the comics and Seasons 1/2. Most people dislike the game because of the small amount of time you play as Clem, but I actually would like it if they went all in on Javi. Granted, I'd also like if they used a more original storyline instead of repeating Season 2 and Michonne where X group of friendly protagonist survivors gets crossed with Y group of evil antagonist survivors with a small touch of moral ambiguity to spice things up.

    Season 1 had a good amount of original ideas and storylines, and I'd like it if Telltale had used more original ideas for Season 2, Michonne, and New Frontier in that same way.

  • I'm sure if you want to kill people you dislike, you can play Counter Strike or any other FPS, but in TT games you play as a character that is already made and have its own way of reacting to situations.

    Like it would be quite out of a character if a 11 yo girl (raised by reasonable and generally good people) started to kill everyone on sight just because the player commands her so, for example to grab a crowbar and bash Carver's head on her own. The game has already too many unrealistic moments, let's not make it worse.

  • Like "Terribly" with big "T", or does small "t" is enough?

  • Games are only realistic when they need to be. Didn't you notice that the zombie apocalypse is not possible in real life?

  • I definitely agree with that.

  • Big T but the T is split because it was too big.

  • It still has to follow the rules of how most people would act, especially since this is based off a comic series where the whole point is seeing how humanity copes.

    I mean the connections to the comics are relatively minor as of now. Jesus really didn't have that big a role, at least in Episode 2, so I think waiting till Episode 3 would be better for a fuller judgement (which judging by the title card should answer that).

    I'd also like if they used a more original storyline instead of repeating Season 2 and Michonne where X group of friendly protagonist survivors gets crossed with Y group of evil antagonist survivors with a small touch of moral ambiguity to spice things up.

    Part of the problem of the Walking Dead is that the formula you mentioned is essentially everything, because as the theme of the story goes, humans are the real walking dead. There are few storylines that can incorporate the action and the drama without that, and of those storylines, a bunch of already been done, for example a disease outbreak (which, actually would probably work out in a game), zombie herds, bad storms, and the like. Season 1 even had this, with the St. Johns, the Save-Lot Bandits, arguably the Stranger (who I suppose is different). Conflict with other humans, especially at this point in the outbreak, is kind of expected.

    But how that conflict could be improved is what we really should be asking here. I think what they should done is improve on that basic formula, making that more original. The branding, that's pretty original, the familial relations between the leader and brother aren't so but you know, it's different, whatever concept of justice the New Frontier has will probably be original. But is originality really the best thing? You can a pretty good argument that being original doesn't necessarily mean it will be better.

    We're still on two episodes in. Personally, I think everyone should wait until at least Episode 3 or 4 before calling this season downright horrible, because since Episode 1 and 2 were released together, no feedback was incorporated to Episode 2 which 3 and 4 will have to pick up on. Maybe Telltale has an ace up there sleeve that we all jumped the gun and didn't think of.

  • I think it would have been more interesting if the Season started out with Javier and his family already being in Prescott and already being friends with Eleanor, Tripp, Conrad and Francine. And Javier might already know Clementine as the young girl who passes by occasionally, rather than conveniently meeting her on the road for the first time.

    The events in the junkyard can still happen with some minor changes of why they are there. With the goal still being a scavenging mission. Javier takes Gabe and Mari with him because they insisted on joining him and Kate joins to watch over them.

  • That's why they have two TT in TellTale.

    Big T but the T is split because it was too big.

  • If they made Clem a Borderlands character headshoting dudes for fun, they might as well make a game in which Clementine The Fruit and her best friend Lee-chee try to escape from the bad blenders ready to slice them up into a fruit salad.

    Length time and the killing of Kenny/Jane totally erasing the choices matter factor. I couldn't care less about Clem's playable screen time.

    Can I ask. What are the main issues people have with the episodes? No fandom rampage on this, just the basics of it.

  • I finally understood what Job meant with the Clementine scene that broke him! People probably assumed that it was an emotional moment, but that's just ridiculous. I have figured out the truth.

    Telltale made a walker model based on Job, and Clem is literally going to break him. Ambiguity, people.

  • No! The scene was literally broken in two and we wont see the other part until ep 4!

  • It's not. It's in all the files. Just a name they gave it, odd coincidence.

  • I think ANF probably would have worked better if they just focused 100% on Javi and the New Story aswell. Then again, it also suffers from taking inspiration from Michonne. In my opinion, Michonne was a pretty bad game, there wasnt really a purpose to it at all and nothing really happened, that plus annoying kids popping up. So the fact that they did alot of copy and pasting with coming across and evil group, a hostage situation that leads to violence no matter what, and a character getting shot in the back of the head for shock value all over again really got me mad.

    Another thing. Season 3 uses things that were dropped for Season 1 and season 2 for the purpose of "it didnt feel right and didnt work" and its show in season 3 with the things that shouldnt be in it because it doesnt work.

    Javier has a family. He cares about them, however, us? Not so much. We can like the character but he has a much stronger bond to them than the player. For example, Javi likes Gabe, but a fair majority doesnt. It makes a disconnection, kinda like how they dropped Lee being Clem's brother because having a pre established relationship didnt work for bonding with the character like they wanted. Season 2 also had plans for Kenny to be the more big bad, but because we knew him it would be drama of "is he really that bad, blah blah blah, and they decided to drop that because it wouldnt work well. And now flashforward to season 3 where the big bad is someone we know and we are going to need to see if they really are that bad blah blah blah...

  • its the code name they used for the game. For this game is Alexandria. For Wolf Among Us it was "PuddinNPie" Borderlands "purpleskag" ect.

    However, most code names do end up having something to do with the game, so it is possible that Alexandria will appear.

  • THANK YOU Murmie22, I have been wanting to say this for days, BUT PLEASE MAKE MORE NEW MUSIC, I hate the fact they reuse it because it takes away from the original score in it's respective scene, Such as the Music used for Carver's "face-off" with Kenny, and it's reuse in EP 4 where Kenny and Clem find Luke and Jane.

    Murmle22 posted: »

    I noticed What's in season 3 there is no new music. It's just ost's was taken from previous seasons. Music still engaged by Jared-Emerson

  • To me it is an insult to the game and fans to have such short episodes. It feels like they got big and could care less to really put the effort in to which grew this company and won this series game of the year.

    Every other month it feels like Telltale is bringing out or announcing a new series. Slow it down telltale. Let's focus on a few games a year. Thank you

    :)

  • Yeah actually you make a good point Pudding'N Pie appear in TWAU, Purple Skag appear in TFTB so this practically confirmed Alexandria for S3 That would be awesome(especially if we "met" Negan)

    I'm pretty sure they're so short because they originally was one episode and they split it hour by hour, so this is why we got 1 hour eps! So judging by that i'm pretty sure that the next episodes will be somewhere around 2h. 15 mins. or so!
