Can we call this poor editting? Poor writing? Poor acting? Characters don't seem to cry.
Well if i was in a zombie apocalypse. And i would meet tripp, spend like 2 weeks with him. I would cry. Cuz i mean like, you both saved each other so many times, u became big buddies, etc. We didn't see any tears.
And with the gabe and david deaths. Almost 0 tears like. If your brother was going to die in a few minutes. Wouln't you cry so hard that u would drown in your own tears? Like srsly. Its just like 2 lil tears...
The fuck is this telltale?
BTw it was a good episode tho

ALL OF THE ABOVE
It's called "Everyone's used to sudden deaths by now" and "No one sane wants to play a game where people are crying every 5 minutes."
Despicable liar.
When Ava just fucking randomly dies but atleast when you die you put up some kind of fight
There a thread with all those photos from the end?
I wanna see them.
I guess we're supposed to assume they've become desensitised after witnessing so many deaths or they internalise their grief. Remember its 4 years into the apocalypse....
Yet Javier,Kate and Gabe seem to be somewhat emotionally affected by Marinas death. Clementine cries when Jane dies i believe. Javier is quite emotional over Gabe's death as well.
I'm assuming your partially joking and I'd point you to S1 for excellent use of crying. Kenny crying when his family dies, Clementine crying when Lee dies, Lily crying when Larry dies. Shocker the season wasnt a crybaby fest with the group paddling down a trail of tears as the crying was realistically fitting for the situation. In S2 Clementine crying when Kenny dies and Kenny crying when he departs from Wellington are also good examples as well. Also Marianas (sudden death) seem to have quite the lasting impact on the Garcia family despite being 4 years into the apocalypse.
This annoyed me in season 1, too.
Lee never freaking sheds a tear. Not even one. Let alone cry.
Not when he thinks his whole family is dead, not when he knows his parents are dead, not when he has TO KILL HIS OWN BROTHER, not when he has his potential girlfriend's brains shot out in front of him, not when he has to shoot a LITTLE BOY, not when he has to bury a LITTLE BOY, not when he hears a little girl was raped, not when clem gets kidnapped by god knows who, not when he gets bitten, not when he's about to die and leave Clem alone.
Not one tear.
People really put season 1 on a pedastal. It has flaws.
Besides Clem, (and she's a little girl) Kenny is the only one shown actually crying, with tears streaming down his face.
Wow. I never even thought about this. It is strange how very little times someone cried in season 1, especially because season 1 took place right at the beginning of the apocalypse. Does Katjaa not cry when Duck is bitten?
Here are some scenes where tears were shed that I can recall off the top of my head, seasons 2 and 3: Clementine during the Kenny/Jane fight, both Kenny endings, Javi when Mari dies, Clem when Kenny/Jane dies, and Clem when Gabe dies. For a bunch of traumatized people four to five years into the apocalypse, that's not too bad.
Her voice breaks a bit, but that's it. She does not cry.
She's evidently tougher than Kenny.
I suppose Jane is really close to crying near the end of season 2 if you save her, as she's afraid Clem will leave her. But still not quite.
Did anyone cry when Mari died? That's seriously one of the things that bothers me the most this season, like top 5. YEARS they spent in the van with her, but I swear it feels like they knew Mariana for like a week before she died. Like "oh it's a little girl, this is sad, but we didn't really know her so it doesn't hurt so much."
That's what it felt like.
And, even if the voice actor sounds like they're crying unless the animation reflects that, it's bogus.
It's ironic, these snazzy new character models, and they can't make them cry?
Seems that tears are not included in this game, like for real they must not render the tears or something cause you can clearly feel like the characters are crying (David's death, Gabe's, Kate's...) but no tears
improved graphics
I played the episode again and got the ending where Gabe is dying and it's clear that Clem is crying but no tears
improved graphics
Mariana was family and Clem still wasnt a completely hardened survivor in the Jane ending.
if i remember right if you get The Gabe only ending then you see that Gabe s eyes are red from Crying ((Thought it does get magically fixed when he talks to Jesus.))
Check out the details thread.
We can also easily assume that they have barely seen anyone die at that point with the exception of walkers, since they have been on the road in the van
Not hardened Yet? After S2 she was still a marshmallo then? And even if Mariana was family if you were actually desensitized it wouldn't matter who she was.
Anyway, Kate, Gabe, Conrad, Fern, and possibly Jane cry. There just aren't any tear graphics apparently.
I love it when the voice actors out-act the character models.
...Are you in the right thread or are you just referencing some of them?
Making characters shed some tears over the loss of friends and loved ones would have been too realistic for this game.
i briefly considered suicide after episode 5 it was THAT bad, but i fought hard and now im stronger than ever!
did you forget your own comment?
...Maybe. All I'm saying is some of seemed to be doing so offscreen, with Kate in particular lacking the appropriate graphics considering her father-in-law just died and I'm pretty sure you can see her crying in the house when Javier is talking to David.
Honestly, this has been a problem since the beginning of this series. I mean, okay, S1 did have a few characters with actual visual tears in their eyes... but even then, it was a grand total of two. Arvo in S2 also has tears. Michonne also had tears towards the end of ep 3, but I think that's it for characters actually seen crying, unless you include Gabe and Fern, since they have red puffy eyes. How many characters does that make total? Six. Out of lord knows how many characters across the entire series to date.
To be honest though, it's not really a case of the characters not crying... it's just a case of them not having tears.
There's a lot of scenes where it is very clearly implied the character is crying, they just didn't add any tears. Examples being:
Lee, when he has to put down his brother, when he shoots Duck, after Ben and Kenny die, and when he's dying at the end of ep 5
Hershel, after Shawn dies
Irene (the motel girl)
Lilly, after Larry dies
Katjaa, during most Duck scenes in ep 3
Kenny, after Sarita's death
Leland, after Dee is killed by Bonnie
Christa, after Omid dies, and when she thinks he's dead in Around Every Corner
Sarah, after Carlos' death
Bonnie, after Luke's death
Rebecca, when Alvin dies in ep 2, and throughout ep 4
Nick, when he learns Pete died
Sam (from Michonne), after Greg dies, as well as her dad
John, James, and Alex (also from Michonne), after learning Greg died, and later, their dad
Jonas (from Michonne), if you kill Zachary
Javier's mom, after Pa dies
Javier, after Mari is killed, when David dies, when Kate dies, and when Gabe dies
Gabe (granted, he has red eyes from crying), when David/Kate die
Clementine (during most scenes regarding Duck's death, the meatlocker when Larry dies, when Lee tells her they can't look for her parents at the end of ep 4, Kenny's S3 death, Jane's S3 death, when AJ is taken away from her, when Omid dies, when she kills the dog, and probably more I forgot)
Conrad, after the fall of Prescott/death of Francine
Fern (also has red eyes from cying), after losing her daughter (and possibly Rufus)
All of those characters were technically crying during those scenes, there just weren't any tears. And even the two characters who have been seen with actual tears in their eyes-- Kenny and Clementine-- still have multiple scenes where they don't have any tears.
Those are all really good points.
Huh. I thought that was intentional.
Was he supposed to be crying there? I always just took it as him being extremely pissed off to the point of not saying much.
Yeah, that one is a good point. I guess I was so distracted by the fact that she wasn't wearing glasses to notice that. Well that and remembering that she's Hispanic.
For Lee/Javi, I could see it as being partly intentional, but still, could have at least had their eyes well up or something.
For Kenny, I meant more the scene where you axe her, or when he's in the tent... doubly so if you didn't cut off her arm, meaning he had to do it.
True.
I guess an old man dying is sadder than a little girl getting shot in the head.
Unless I'm forgetting something, Kate really gets over Mariana's death easily, (as long as she has sexy Javier to make kissy faces at, she's okay)
and you wonder why I hate her.
Huh. Never really put too much thought into it. Probably cause they were 4 years in and she was bleeding internally. At the very least, Mariana probably didn't even realize what happened before she flew out and avoided being the one on that table, even if that would've been preferable for most of us.
Who got raped?
I will just say that this upgraded engine sucks walker dicks...you guys are right...no fucking tears..other than the ones I shed when I understood just how much good and interesting content was removed from the game.
I think he means Danielle, in which case I'm pretty sure it was Jolene they raped and they're taking Danielle away regardless led her to make assumptions.
Also:
"Hi, Jane!"
"Hel-lo, Jane!"
"How are you?"
"I'm fine today, thank you!"
