Well... That Was Depressing (No Spoilers)
Well, I am now safe to say that my emotions are completely messed with and I think that I'm done with TWD.
Although we got a variety of endings, no matter what ending it was, it would leave my heart aching or leave me in tears.
One thing I wish to say; if TellTale is planning another season for TWDG, please, since it's later in the outbreak, can we have less emotional deaths please? Or emotional scenes.... I get it, it's the walking dead, but man... my emotions are fried from all three seasons!

Walking Dead is set in a apocalyptic world with the dead roaming the Earth and food and supplies are sacred, of course people will die!
In fact, I think that's what makes Walking Dead special. Everything ends bittersweet or sour. That's what made Season 1 so good! There's so many emotional moments and scenes in that game that made it what it is, a masterpiece!
I know, that's what I said. I get that it's The Walking Dead, but COME ON, there are one too many unnecessary and poorly-thought-out deaths.
At least in ANF you basically had a choice of who died and who you saved.
They would have to sacrifice what little character growth there was to have unemotional deaths. lol
How do you mean?
You were actually emotional in this finale? Lol i was so far away from feeling that way about these shit characters who i never had the chance to get attached to due to shithole writing from Telltale
I was emotional at the end when my game bugged and I couldn't see my stats, was pretty pissed when it happened.
But seriously speaking, this game was nowhere close the emotional/atmospheric level of both two previous games.
meaning we get emotionally attached through the character growth. If we don't want emotional deaths we need to be more detached. Or have less deaths but like you say its TWD.
Hey, no need to bash the game. If you didn't like it, why did you watch/play it?
You're kidding me right? The multiple different endings made my heart ache or break.
I liked a lot of people in this game (and hated a few).
Yes, it is. Telltale fucked up their most beloved franchise and we should point out their mistakes. Why would you defend them after telling us lies like "Episode 1 was split in 2 because it was too big"?
No, I'm not kidding. If I had a dollar every time ANF made me emotional, I would be broke. I get more emotional when my pet rock is about to move.
Pacing was bad, dialogue plain, empty and anticlimactic, character's behavior switched or not-in-character, outcomes unrealistic and it felt very forced, like TT desperately tried to make our choices matter.
In a contrary, I could write down numerous examples from previous two TWD when I was highly emotional, which even made me teared up - and I never cry - and made me fall in love with the series and replay the games multiple times. Numer one will always be Lee's last stand and his death in the jewelry store, there's no other scene like this in any video game I've played throughout my life.
Because I'm not a person who thinks about what games COULD be. I appreciate games for all that they are. And the time? Doesn't matter. I felt that two to three hours was a bit long - there were far too many minor things that you could find in the game that could extend your time a bit too much. We also gotta remember, in the first season, there were LOTS of opportunities to talk to every character in your group, which is really one of the bigger sources of time than anything else. If you were to ignore talking to other people, your game time would be cut a fair amount. (TellTale mods/staff, do correct me if I'm wrong, but that's just what I noticed)
TellTale is working hard at keeping up with all of their series. They don't work to keep everyone happy, to bend and break so people get what they want. I appreciate the work TellTale has done for The Walking Dead series!
What mistakes were made? I barely saw any story mix-ups, no glitches, no inaccuracies between time, places and plots. I don't see any characters missing that should be there. As far as I'm concerned, there were no mistakes in the game. (Also, if you're talking about "mistakes" like; it was a mistake to kill off Kenny; then Imma just ignore that cuz those aren't even real mistakes. they aren't mistakes at all.)
I'm getting real sick of this meme.
Give me game mistakes right now; glitches, story mix-ups, plot bunnies, time and place inaccuracies, etc. Name them all. What mistakes were made?
Jacksepticeye had Tripp killed in Episode 4 but he is back alive somehow
Javier and his family survived 4 YEARS with the same van.
If Ava is saved, she only has 6 minutes screentime...
then just dies so fast and everyone forgets about it
Kray, you can't enjoy things in here! This is a fan forum!
Haha.
I really didn't feel anything when Gabe die or David or pretty much anyone in this, the only one that make me say something was when i saw Kate's death, just because i decided to have a relationship with her and i like her to be happy with Javi. When the choice to go with Kate or go after Gabe/David came it was a really easy choice for me, i really don't like Gabe, it is an inconsistent character who pretty much whinnes every time, he fucked up too many times and telltale trying to make him fell like somewhat "worthy" with a 180º change in his personalitty just to make him ok in our eyes just make him look worse, at least to me, so when he was dying i was like "should i be sad or something? because i don't feel shit" Mariana's death make me feel more than this and i really didn't feel nothing more than "danm, she was nice"
The only thing about Gabe's death that make me feel something was Clementine kissing him and saying something like she was alone untill she met him, after knowing him for 2-3 days and after talking to him like 2-3 times...there is no way that my Clem, the way i played her in S2, would be like that or say something like that, it was too fucking out of character that actually make me mad instead of sad or something, i just wanted to end that so he can die and keep moving. And the worst is that the kiss happens if you go with Jane, who is a person that didn't want to relay on anyone and of course didn't want to have a boyfriend...
About david death...well considering that no matter what you do he will figth you because reasons, i really stopped caring about him, just like everyone did with Ava after she die, in the worst death ever, so why should i care for anyone that can die in the game when there is no reason, unless you want a relationship with Kate and she die or is missing...
Well i will have to do what Telltale will do if they made another TWD, treat like this seasson never happened and try to see Clem like she lost AJ for reasons and is trying to find him, because let's be honest we won't see anyone from this game in S4, also the final choices won't matter because we will follow Clem's path to find AJ and never going back to ritchmond so...
Jacksepticeye might have gone back and changed something; he WAS upset that they killed Tripp.
Ava dying after sparing her life is not a mistake. Scratched off the list.
The van is also not a mistake. Vehicles last longer than you think; my family had this van for almost ten years and it worked fine before we got rid of it (I think we sold it, but I'm not sure).
I also don't watch those videos of "everything wrong with..." because they tend to point out the things that are obvious in a fictional world. They are like, it has to be perfect or it's wrong.
I've felt sad over Walking Dead deaths before, but the only two deaths that have ever made me cry were Lee's and Gabe's.
I didn't see the kiss (and although I find their relationship to be cute), I don't think I wanna see it. Too many feelz...
I was BAWLING when I saw Kate and when I saw Gabe AND David die. David was a d***stain, but still, he tried being a family man who loved his kids and wife, but he had a hard time showing it (there wasn't too many tears shed ((none at all, actually) when David died but I was sad). When I saw Gabe... the tears decided to flow.
He showed bravery in the face of death. That's what got me...
Wow, you're actually the first person to say that they were sad about Gabe's death....
Yeah, same here. I actually got emotional over Jane's death (and Duck and Katjaa's... and Nick's.... and Rebecca's........) and I cried a little, but NOTHING compared to when Lee died and when Gabe died (and Kate, for that matter). Whenever I play over the last episode of Season 1, no matter how many times I see it, I ALWAYS CRY!!! And Gabe... poor kid, I actually liked him!! I'm glad that you technically have a choice, though, of how you want your ending to be. Choices do end up mattering (if that's even a word) this season.
I went with Kenny and was heartbroken over his death. But it was so quickly and poorly done that I just didn't cry. Luckily for me, I'll not have to witness Kate's death (At least not in this season) because I ended up having Javi and Kate surviving together. I really wanted both Kate and Gabe to survive, but when I first finished the game I had no idea how to pull that off. I like to stick with my original ending as my canon ending, but I'm pretty sure that I'll play it again and have both Kate and Gabe survive now that the details on how to do that are out.
I don't think you CAN save both Kate and Gabriel. Unless you gotta do specific things... I dunno
I cried with Lee death in S1, i cried again with Kenny's death in S2 and again when he left you and AJ to be safe in Wellington and goes alone, but with this deaths.... i didn't fell anything, i just felt annoyed because of the forced scene that Clem has with Gabe after she kiss him when she said just BS and it is based on a choice that i did in the end of S2, it really isn't something that they build in the game (like the Kate and Javi romance), mostly because the two didn't interact too many times and just knew from 2-3days, and they made it to just have some fans happy with the pairing or something like that, even if it just feel odd at the best, they put it there because reasons.
Then i didn't get the image of "yor Clem has become..." or something like that because my game bugged and didn't show it at the end, so yeah instead of sad like the other two seassons it just make me mad, which is not a good thing for a game like TWD.
I also cried for Lee's, Kenny's and Gabe's death.
Kenny and Gabe died on my second playthrough, but their deaths made me feel so bad.
Kenny and Gabe have always treated me well on my first playthrough, that is the reason I cried for their deaths, even when they werent on that playthrough.
I stupidly purchased the season pass, that's why i had to play to the end and thank god I won't be anymore!
And yes there is a need to bash this game if i so wish. If you enjoyed it then fine good for you but i cannot understand why anyone does because it is extremely poor in every aspect. The story was somewhat ok for a while before the plot just went all over the place and made little sense.
Dude, he had Ava saved, watch his video.
Wut?
They used that van during the apocalypse. The gas and repairs were very limited.
These are nitpicks and some of them are true.
You can, but it's based on very specific actions that you have to take as Clementine during her flashbacks.
Tripp being there is a glitch. They just forgot to remove him, I guess.
Same when you see Clementine in Episode 2 when Javi hugs Kate even if you killed Conrad.
Hey, Dickcheese, HANDS OFF THE MURCHANDISE!
Is there any way to keep David, Fabe, Clem, Kate and Javi alive? What about Ava and Tripp? Seemed like no matter who you choose to save in episode 4 they both die in episode 5. Also, is there going to be another season? In the end it stated Clem's story will continue. Any know anything about that?
In the ending, I only got David killed. TBH, I wasn't really sad, seemed batter that way.
oh dabig, you dog
I got that too, but it didn't really seem right so I went back and got Kate killed too, (which I had no idea would happen)
Now the more bittersweet ending with just Gabe and Javi? THAT feels right.
You should stop consuming stories like TWD then. Death and heartache are built into the formula.
If you still want to keep with Telltale, you can. Tales From The Borderlands, Minecraft Storymode, Wolf Among Us, Batman are all structured differently.
There were some pretty sad bits
-The rufus/soldier girl scene in the apartment, with the presumably dead daughter
-"I love you"
-David's death
-The wall/memorial of photographs at the end (this almost made me cry but I couldn't get too good of a look)
-and the gabe/javi alone ending has gabe red-rimmed eyes from crying, and wondering how long it will be before they're up on the wall with mari and kate
wish I could say Tripp or Ava's deaths did something for me
lmao i don't think my Javi could handle Gabe all by himself
Gabe sings his praises on the bridge, they're going to do good from here on out, I'm sure...
Fern from Above the Law and the daughter's name was Ida.
Yeah, I definitely appreciate that.
Yeah, poor boy.
