I'm a wreck after episode 4!
So much emotion! To think I said all these things in one episode:
"I love you David!"
"We have to save David!"
"I love you Kate!"
"David, what the fuck!?"
"Kate noooooooooooo!"
I honestly loved this episode. Gabe was great as well, which has me a little confused on my return to the forums as a lot of people seem to be mad at him. He saved me, we had a couple of really good talks, he kind of screwedup when he got me stabbed but I can forgive that. Is this affected by a past choice? I have no clue. I loved the David flashback too, just seeing those two bond was great. Then the hug! "You never gave up on anyone David, I'm not gonna give up on you" I actually really grew to love Ava this episode, which sucks because she's a little on the dead side now. I tried to save her and she died for it! Now with Lingard, I really enjoyed his scene too and found a burning desire to help him. And what he said about David and making him care again was amazing. I of course refused to kill him. It's funny, I love Clementine in ANF but I don't think I've sided with her once in my playthrough. I can't forget that Clem scene with Ava, that was beautiful! Her making Clem promise to hold onto that light gave me hope. Hope that real good people still exist in this universe. Conrad's role was a lot smaller but he was still great, I loved when he came and saved me. I also ended up confessing to having feelings for Kate, that scene overall put a smile on my face. Kate and Javi had a good talk and Clem and Gabe playing cards in the back was really enjoyable. I was really nervous about telling David about me and Kate but... guess I don't have to worry about that now! The final scene was really exciting, I was determined to save David and I got this trial vibe, I love those sort of scenes. I was determined to turn the people against Joan but then fucking here comes Ava and Tripp out to break my heart. UGH!!! Tripp's been one of my favorites since episode 1 and Ava really won me over in so short a time. I ended up choosing Ava then fucking Joan kills her! And Tripp feels betrayed as well! No bright side here. But then get a little hope when Clint proposes exile, I was all "Hell yeah, I don't want to kill anyone!" Then David... oh my gosh... I had hope for this man. Fucking David starts a war! I begged him not to but he did it anyway. He ran off after Joan and I managed to convince Gabe to stay with me. Everyone's been telling me David's lost it and I refused to believe it but then Clem says "When are you going to believe me?" I really don't want to believe it but it certainly looks like David is on the warpath. I think I'm still gonna try not to give up on him but we'll see... That damn ending destroyed me, it's not fair! Why did Kate have to die? Part of me actually blames David so that might affect how I act towards him from now on.
Overall fantastic episode, I loved it. Let's share our thoughts. Anyone have a similar emotional experience?
Comments
Well see, Kate is in a state I would call.....
Schrodinger's Kate....maybe she is alive maybe she is dead...but at this moment..she is both alive and dead.
Are you telling me that there's a chance she's alive?
Well yes.
Huh... I'd love to hope but at the time there wasn't a doubt in my mind that she died. Maybe...?
See a body?
Good point... we'll see what happens I guess.
Yeah...either she is or she is not...I like her a lot...and I hope she made it...but man I am still Bummed about Tripp.....
I haven't played episode 4 yet, but I don't think anything's going to change my opinion of David. He's not a bad or boring character, I just don't like his... personality? Last time he told me he loved me I told him to fuck off, so...I don't think i'll be telling him I love him.
Don't forget about dr. Lingard.
He told Clem she does not know David, David is a good man, and David is the reason AJ survived.
Clem's anger is obvious about being kicked out of the group and being separated from AJ. Nothing more.
I don't blame Kate for trying to help but she definitely didn't deserve to die like that. Now David and Gabe are going to kill me.
Kill you? I'm tempted to go apeshit on David. We were home free! No one else had to die. However I don't think I can abandon him. I really love his character and don't want to give up on him.
I like David too, I even hugged him, glad he didn't punch in the cell (According to the trailer). I just hope David doesn't act like a dick to me.
David punches you if you tried to escape with Kate. The scene in general goes pretty differently based on whether you abandoned him or came to his aid. I hugged him too! I loved that short sweet moment between brothers.
I knew it. I knew that decision would be bullshit. Always sided with my brother.
I loved this episode. It was BRILLIANT.
For the first time, I felt so attached to all the characters. My previous choices came back to haunt me, the choices in this episode were so difficult. I loved all the characters. The first scene was great, it really made me like David a lot more (And made me regret my final decision of episode 3 a lot more). Clem has become a likeable and understandable character again. Gabe was awesome in this episode, even though he revealed my darkest secret in front of everyone, he has definitely become a great character. That final scene was tense as hell.
Ugggh. I loved it.
Out of curiosity... what was it about the flashback that made you like David more?
Well, we got to see David and Javi kind of bond. It made me see them more of brothers. It made me sympathize with him. It made me REALLY REGRET TRYING TO LEAVE RICHMOND IN EPISODE THREE.
I just thought it was great.
The bickering kinda made me chuckle and go "awww..."
"All you do is talk, talk, talk."
"You need to shut up!"
Argh! I loved it.
Were you the one that Kate got into?
Or the one Conrad did.
He literally sheltered Javier, even through his dislike he gave him a home when the boy was alone and broke because of his own stupid actions. His shitty wife took it as an opportunity to jump onto someone with less commitment. David might not be the nicest cat, but he was there for his brother then and now.
"Ouch, damn. Too soon."
(Javier in Episode 2)
Nope. Doesn't change my opinion on David. I was happy to show him up at the batting cages, call him a coward and punch him in the face. I don't think Kate's shitty either, she's my favorite character actually.
I was more then happy to punch him back.
I liked Episode 4 (shocking, I know). My rating: 8/10.
The flashback at the beginning wasn't the best and I found it... eh, but it picked up by the end. The Kenny flashback was well written (and almost made me tear up a little) and every Clementine scene was well written imo. Choices were difficult and choices actually mattered. The ending and the ending choice was also difficult. I wanted to save Ava but she died so Tripp is with me now (and he hates me since I shot Conrad). I chose to accept the deal at the end but of course David had to fuck it up - poor Clint. I wish this writer wrote more episodes, he's a great writer! I ship Gabentine now because Clem is happy and that moment was cute - I want to see Clem smile more. I understand the Gabe hate a little since he did annoy me when he told everyone I shot Conrad and that caused Tripp to hate me but hey, he apologised for it after so I guess it's fine. This episode finally had a few HUBS. I killed Dr. Lingard though because I wanted to know AJ's location. Overall it was enjoyable and easily the best episode of the season.
This episode finally gave me the opportunity to decide what Javier should be to Kate, it took a lot of thought and I finally decided for them to be together. I was also very sad when Joan killed Tripp that was totally not cool but if I chose Ava, then Tripp would hate me so I just left it at that, and I'm also finally allowing Gabentine to be a thing seeing how they seem relatively happy around each other and I'd be a fucking monster if I got in the way of that. Idc if Gabe is not perfect, as long as clem is happy.
I had a good laugh being a jerk with choices .
Overall it was an awesome episode with lot of emotions
She was in an armoured truck so I like to think she is alive. I have also seen a few screenshots of her not in the van so I also like to think that she got out at some point when Javier dived to the ground and we couldn't see the truck for those 2 seconds
It's just her period XD
The part where Javier wouldn't stop crushing the ball XD 100% perfection, even though it was javi doing all of that it just made me love the 2 brothers a whoooole lot more. I also liked the part where David offers to buy javi a beer and they just walk off. Even when I weren't crushing the ball I still went with the half-assed approach between every swing when you get the dialogue and stuff.
People were like"oh man Conrad is dead for the majority he's gonna have the worst determinant death ever in ep4 Nick style...Nope.I fucking loved it and I'm sad to see him go.
Oh? Did Conrad die for you?
Yeah found out after writing my comment that he can still live.Shit.Looks like I'm rewinding lol
Yeah... About that....
Let me guess,it erases my past decisions when I rewind just one episode?
Well he went out like a boss,I guess but it always feels bad to know he could've lived
Why not? It was a heavily armored truck after all.
You can use a new save file slot in the settings somewhere but you'd have to replay an entire episode, no rewinding a chapter. I also believe if you use the same save file and you replay the episode, your past decisions get erased - not entirely sure about this one. You have to start at Episode 4 (and play the WHOLE episode again) and just be lucky that Conrad is alive when choices get randomised for past episodes.
I killed him in Episode 2 so I know that feeling...
If you got Tripp shot, don't worry. He got shot in the neck, and a few seconds after you can see him move. So I think hes gonna live.
