    I just don't care anymore. ANF was okay but not good enough to renew my interest. End it already, I'm done with Clementine.

  • That's so trueee, Clem became a responsibility we didn't have a problem with. And even though some we may not look at her as a priority, you just help but to care♥️

  • Same, I don't want telltale to force anything. And I'm willing to give give them the time they need to at least find their rhythm they had in S1, or even something close to it.

    Very much so. I have to see it through. I just pray Telltale goes back to their roots and lets us talk about our past experiences, lest they fade away in vain.

  • Yes, they could have developed every cabin member but decided not to because killing them off one by one was more important to them.

    Well i am glad Kenny came back. I would have been glad any Season 1 character had come back, i wanted Omid and Christa around longer than the disgraceful time they were given in S2. Even if the cabin crew and other characters were developed and well written, i still would have preferred the S1 characters.

  • Yeah, what was point of the characters if they just die no matter what? For just shock value is not a reason at all.

    Honestly no. I just cant get attached to any new characters, all of them just die anyway who cares

  • TT is the Oprah of stories XD and I agree, I'd hate it if TT just started throwing anything out there and expecting it to sky rocket cause of the name. Like I said, I'm more than willing to give TT all the time they need to get their rhythm back to make something if not close to, then something similar to S1. I think they can do it.

    I'm sure they'll be able to create a story that'll get some people attached to the new characters. Some people liked ANF. I'm done after Cle

    Out of all the new characters introduced in ANF I wasn't attached to any of them. I'm not even attached to Clementine who's been the central focal point up until now

  • Yeah same here. I couldn't just turn off my liking for TT that easily.

  • True. I felt that way at first after Lee's death. But then I thought Clem's still here, so I couldn't look away.

  • I mean in TT's defense, Clem's been through some rough times, especially in S2 which gave her tough skin. But I don't think she should've transitioned into this complete hardass. But then again it could just be her being extremely cautious in any scenario avoiding what she's been through in the past.

    ANF didn't introduce anyone that I grew attached to (it actually had the opposite effect where it seems I'd rather never see any of those ch

  • Yes, they could have developed every cabin member but decided not to because killing them off one by one was more important to them.

    Which is why I feel that Season 2 is a disservice to me as a whole, because the writers had taken the lazy way out by using the new cast to fill up the deaths-per-episode quota, instead of actually giving each character a purpose of being in the story to begin with.

    This also ended up highlighting one of the main problem that some have with Telltale's story-telling formula as of late; too many characters are being written to die for cheap drama instead of actually developing as a character, and it happens too frequently to the point where the audience starts to not care about the survival of the cast.

  • Yep, they should have had at least more people survive from Season 1 into Season 2 and made them a relevant part of the story, even if that meant shorten the amount of cabin members or something. Most people i know only cared about Clem and Kenny and Omid and Christa before their exits. They didn't care about anyone else, even when they tried

  • Gentlemen, you're thinking about this all wrong. It's about the practicality.

    You can call it ANF or call it S3. Calling it S3 is easier: that's an entire letter less to type out compared to ANF!

    Sharples65 posted: »

    Season 3 doesn't exist yet.

  • I'm the loyal, 'ride or die' type, even to people/things that might not always deserve it. So I'd say yeah, I'm still attached. I'm one of the people with the blessing/curse known as low standards, so the bar to disappoint me is pretty damn low. And even S3 wasn't able to go below that bar.

    Now, before anyone goes off accusing me of being a raging idiot (which for the record, I will not deny), I'll admit two things; it's definitely not as good as the first two seasons, and I took S3 a bit less seriously than I did the first two, which might have something to do with why it didn't disappoint me as much. I don't know. But either way, I'll admit at the very least that I do find it inferior to the first two seasons... just not as inferior as most. But I ain't gonna sit here and make excuses about how it's still a good story and that you're all wrong, because honestly, most of you bring up good points-- there are indeed a lot of problems with it, and I can acknowledge those. But even in lieu of those problems, it's still just not enough to make me hate it. I don't know what else to say here. I simply don't hate/dislike it like most people do, and I'm not entirely sure why. I mean come on, you can't tell me you haven't felt the same way about something before. You never had some shitty song that you actually don't mind when it comes on? Some bad movie that you can't help but find kinda entertaining? That crap show no one takes seriously, but you secretly watch it at night with the volume turned all the way down to hide the shame?

    But at any rate, I'm still attached and invested in this series, and moreover, I'm still loyal to it, even in spite of recent events. Maybe TWD is a sinking ship these days... but fuck it, it's a ship I'll happily go down with.

    There's very little difference

  • It's basically that most of the people hating on ANF will be back once the next game comes out. Sure, one bad instalment can ruin the whole franchise, but it was more disappointing than it was bad. Sooner or later people are gonna get bored of sitting on their ass and typing angry comments and they will come back to check S4 out. Maybe out of pure curiosity, maybe because a sentiment or just to make memes, but some of us are used to TWD series being one of the best of TT's titles, so it's no use in saying that ANF destroyed the whole franchise.

    Now, before anyone goes off accusing me of being a raging idiot

  • Season 2's story suffered because the writers didn't feel confident enough to tell a new story without resorting to reusing old stories in Season 1, which was why Kenny was brought back to use as a crutch

    To be fair, it's more or less been confirmed that Kenny was always considered to return in some shape or form since the earlier drafts.
    But you're right regardless.

    Jane was created to add an opponent for Kenny for the sake of making a 'compelling' drama in the finale.

    Actually, I'm pretty sure Jane was originally created as a plot device to help get the group out of Howe's and then help exacerbate the tension in group, particularly where Luke is concerned. It was people talking about her that gave the writers of Amid the Ruins the excuse they needed to overindulge with her.

  • Yeah this kind of reaction towards those who claim to like the game seems pretty common on here. I mean I get it, A New Frontier did appear to be a lazy middle finger to long term fans of the franchise with those pre-release grandiose marketing lies, the apparent mistreatment of the last major choices of Season 2, the drastic shift in tone from previous games and the shorter episode lengths. I suppose a lot of fans just became so embittered by those things I listed that they can't really fathom how anyone can possibly like the game despite its flaws, which I guess I can understand.

    Personally I'm glad you enjoyed the game even though I don't really share the same opinion. Hopefully nearly all of us will agree that The Final Season is good so we wont have these kinds of reaction towards those who enjoy it.

  • As much as I like Kenny, I gotta be honest, he should've died in No Time Left. His character arc ended perfectly at the alleyway with Ben. Constantly berating him after finding out that he's the one responsible for the death of his family (even though he never meant for that to happen), to understanding where he's coming from with his own grief. Finally ending it to where he shoots him while incapacitated, so that he wouldn't suffer from getting eaten by the walkers surrounding them.

    Kenny being in Season 2, essentially caused most of the plot to center around him, rather than the Cabin survivors, whom by that point are pretty much irrelevant, aside from maybe Rebecca & Luke. Even though they basically are just waiting to be killed off, just like the rest.

  • If i had known how the latter half of Season 2 would be, I would say him dying in S1 would have been a blessing and should have happened. I say that only because maybe then the Kenny haters (the ones who speak vile and wish death on him, those extreme types i mean) would possibly not be as shitty about his character.

  • No honestly not at all. I just struggle to understand people who can like this game knowing what Season 1 was like compared to this that's all.

  • Its not just the episode lengths dude! I gave you the list above as to why we hate S3 compared to S1. If the game was a much lower price, I wouldn't probably be as annoyed. A lot of why I don't like it is that Telltale think its acceptable to charge people more or the same price as Season 1 for much much less quality.

    As i said it's fine that you like it. Not trying to change your mind.

    Why do you like it then? What was it that changed your life? Do you like it more than the previous 2 games?

  • I mean I feel like it's just the feeling of wanting to know what's gonna happen next and not wanting be left out if it's good. Cause to me I always felt like TT can do something similar to S1, it'll just take a little while, and every season that came out after S1 I was gullible enough to believe it'll be up to par with S1. S2 was was kinda close in my opinion with S1 cause of some of the difficult choices, but after that to me it just went downhill.

    • Clementine having no purpose on this game.
    • Choices mattering without letting the players know how they did that.

    • David tries to kill me despite the fact that I've been on his side all the time and never touched Kate.
    • Conrad doing nothing in this game except Episode 3.
    • Episode 1 was split in two because it was TOO BIG.
    • BIGGEST SEASON SO FAR

    • Jesus having no purpose on this game.
    • Eleanor having no purpose on this game other than being a traitor bitch.
    • Marianna's death having no affect on this game other than shock value.
    • Walkers aren't acting like walkers during the saving Richmond part.
    • Clementine can kiss a boy of her age she has only known for 3-4 days and cried the way she did to Lee and Kenny (If killed in S2).
    • Full of bugs and glitches.

    • Conrad disappears after the end of Episode 4.
    • Max and Lonnie disappear after exposing Joan.
    • Richmond people still trusting Joan despite the fact that she caused a lot of deaths of innocent people.
    • David kicks Clementine out of the group for stealing medicine but doesn't kick Lingard out for getting high.
    • David takes AJ away from Clementine when he just said they should have left him behind days ago but he changed his mind because.....
    • Kate, after being shot in the stomach and blown up in an armored truck near explosion, is in good condition.
    • Wellington wasn't attacked by The New Frontier despite the fact that one of the attackers shares the same model with one of Richmond soldiers in Episode 2. (DO YOU REALLY THINK WE'RE BLIND, TELLTALE?)
    • Kenny, one of the main characters of Season 1 and 2, dies by car accident.
