Spoilers! Brenda Glitch

[cols_12]

After a long wait for episode 2 of The Walking Dead, near the end i find out i cant finish it because There is no option for Brenda when she takes Kennys Wife hostage. Does anyone know a way to fix this glitch? I go through the door and when i walk forward i get shot and there is no option to talk or anything.

[Wonktnodi]

Every time she talks, walk forward. Check her for an option. If there isn't one, walk forward again. Repeat. I think the first time you go inside she has two lines before you can talk to her.

[cols_12]

Ok sweet that worked. You have to go really slow and just tap the analog stick thank you very much! :)

[ThunderCrapper]

That isn't working for me. She speaks once as soon as I walk in the door, I then creep forward little by little searching the room for an option and get nothing. The next time she speaks she shoots and kills me. It is so frustrating I gave up playing. Anyone else having this problem?

Did you choose to say nothing to Brenda? I did that, and was never able to make it trigger. Tried for at least an hour, then rewinded back to the part with Danny, and chose a different option. After that, I was able to do it several times first try.

I am having the exact same problem. The very first time I entered the house there was dialoge and options about how you could bargain/threaten Brenda.

I could see Mike/Mark (can't remember his name) as a walker at the top of the stairs... but Brenda shot me.

Now when the game re-loads I have no dialogue options and absolutely nothing works. Inching the controller forward just gets me shot.

[holeydonut]

Man this sucks - stupid glitchy game... they should have just kept delaying it since the damn thing doesn't work.

I rewound to back before you and Kenny sneak out of the barn. no change. There is absolutely nothing that i can do to get the dialogue options with Brenda to repeat. She just shoots me... and if I stand there nothing happens.

If I approach her to where she points the gun at me - I take both hands off the thumbsticks but she shoots me anyway. I can try to hold BACKWARD on the thumb sticks and she shoots me anyway. There is nothing I can do (or not do) to prevent her from shooting.

You need to move the right stick onto her and talk. It's not a glitch it's just your lack of observation and trial and error.

My right-stick cursor is planted on her forehead. I am not a gamer who relies on "inverted" mouse to be effective.

[epaR_Sly]

When she says don't move or I'll shoot(The second dialog where she shoots you), do NOT move the analog stick at all. You can talk. Had the problem for awhile too.

[ThunderCrapper]

None of this is working for me. Also I haven't seen a walker in the house but I do hear some groaning. This does appear to be a glitch if this many people are having the problem.

[cols_12]

I had this same problem when i played but you really just have to barely tap the analog stick forward then check if theres an option and then repeat. Before you enter she will say something then when you get inside the door she will say something and Lee says to stop or something. Wait for the dialougue to finish then just barely creep forward. Just keep on trying and you should get it.

[ChickVelcro]

People are so quick to cry 'GLITCH!' whenever they can't get their head around something.

Just keep trying and try to press the analog stick gently, rather than hammering it with all the subtlety of a Gorilla.

[ChickVelcro]

The walker (Mark) is at the top of the stairs. If you walk slowly and use some patience, Brenda keeps backing off, further and further up the stairs, until he grabs her.

[MF25]

Been lurking since Episode 1 came out, thought i'd register...

This is whats happening to me, I open the door, walk forward till she tells me to stop, i stop, i talk to her (using the calm option) and then she backs up the stairs, i then do this again...

After i've done it twice theres nothing i can do, the option to talk doesnt come up again and the only thing i can do is walk forwards and i've done it so slowly it took me a few minutes, moving a tiny bit at a time and still doesnt work, she gives no warning, it stops me, she says something like "i didnt want it to come to this Lee" and blows my head off.

I'll try it again tonight to see if it will work but unless the way you do it changes after the first two times then it's definitely a glitch.

I put down my banana before trying again (you know, to absolve myself of your gorilla analogy) and it's hit or miss whether it works (mostly miss)

I'm not a moron, I understand that you have to make sure your cursor is pointed at Brenda and you let go of the thumbsticks when she points the gun at you. The problem is she blows your head off without the game ever providing dialogue options.

Apparently most of you seem to get dialogue options when you're patiently waiting while she points a gun at you. I'm telling you all that even with the cursor pointed at her face and my left thumbstick in its neutral position, I get shot in the face.

Basically there is about a 10% chance I can get past the first time she points the gun. If by some strange stroke of luck the game lets me past the first dialogue option, then there is another 10% chance I can get past the second time. As you can imagine... this isn't an effective way to play the game.

[ArthurV]

The interaction node to communicate with Brenda when she points her gun at Lee is on her stomach. Try placing your reticle there. The analog stick on the Xbox 360 can be very sensitive. You need to immediately stop when Brenda points her gun at Lee. Then use the right analog stick to place your cursor right above Katjaa's head. Select the "nice" option (if you let the dialogue time out or select the aggressive option, she will shoot Lee).

Hope that helps!

[MF25]

I went back to the start of the chapter and made a couple of different choices, i spared the guy in the barns life and told Brenda i left him in the barn instead of pretending to be him like i did the first time, it then worked how it was supposed to so anyone having problems should go back and try something else to see if it works i guess.

[holeydonut]

I think you guys are being obtuse - there is no place I can put the cursor on her to trigger the interaction. Do you think I would be able to get this far in the game if I didn't know how to move the cursor over the hotspots?

Brenda simply does not pause after pointing the gun and proceeds to shoot you with no opportunity to butt in.

In the rare cases where she doesn't shoot Lee - I can just sit there and stare at her while mulling over the two dialogue options for quite some time. Unfortunately this is a very rare occurrence and does not repeat it self often enough for me to get past this scene in the game.

My point is the dialogue options are not appearing - regardless of where the cursor is and with the left-thumbstick in its neutral position.

The only thing appearing is a bullet hitting Lee in the face.

My cousin beat it and it was her 2nd time picking up a Xbox controller. She didn't even die once.

It's not the game it's you. If she shoots you right when she points the gun at you it means you didn't stop fast enough.

No... If you read my posts it's pretty obvious its a glitch. I did nothing different the second time and it worked after i'd made different choices before the scene.

[Littleweasel]

im not sure if this is happening to everyone, but on chapter chapter 7 when you goto the house and enter the screen door, i get no prompts to do anything but can walk a couple steps forward. then brenda points the gun at me a shoots me even though i stop when she says to. and i get no prompt to do anything?
3 months to finally get episode 2 and a stupid glitch seems to be effecting some people like myself, causing us to not be able to finish the game.
yes i now know that it doesn't seem to effect everyone but to the people that it is effecting it is annoying.

[Milosuperspesh]

PEOPLE it is not a glitch..

the key is watch brenda if she points the gun at you STOP wait for her to move and put the gun to katjaa's head.

when she has done that then you can move, the reticle pops up when she is aiming at you/lee, yes as the ttg guy has said around katjaa's stomach area.

once she is close enough mike gets her..

[HexRei]

It is a legit glitch. I'm on PC and don't even have to deal with analog controls. I move in tiny increments with the W key, slow as can be, and all of a sudden she points the gun at me and tells me to "stop, i mean it" and she shoots me even though I am not doing anything with the controls. I got it to work once randomly but could not pass the second checkpoint.

Do you try talking to her when she yells at you to stop?

[DevilDogRob]

You GUYS KNOW its not a glitch right. your just getting to close when she says stop. *snip*

[Stromko]

Wow, a lot of people assuming that other people are morons and insulting them. Really making the community look nice.

I haven't encountered this glitch, but I'm willing to accept that it could be a glitch that they are legitimately experiencing.

I don't know why people are so offended that others are having a problem.

[Milosuperspesh]

You GUYS KNOW its not a glitch right. your just getting to close when she says stop. *snip*

yup how clear do we have to make it?

open the gate

go up the steps

open screen door

move untill brenda says stop Y U NO LISTEN...

Look on katjaa for the hot spot

lee HAS TO 'reason with her' (top option only).

ONCE the gun is being pointed at katjaa MOVE.

rince repeat. done....

I have tried this a dozen times. I said "Yeah, its me" before walking up the steps, dont know if that is the problem. There are NO options on either character no matter what I do! As soon as she points the gun at me she shoots me.

[DrDankenstein]

Yea it's not a glitch. You wont get that Interaction node until you have walked far enough for her to point her gun at you. If you don't stop right when she says to she will shoot you. So walk up let go of the stick when she says stop then talk to her. There is only two options so it will be obvious which one is right. She will back up onto the stairs. Repeat the process three times and done.

It is for sure a glitch. I just used REWIND and spared Danny this time, then said I left him in the barn. Got the interaction hotspot this time around every time no problem

[BlackAlpha]

The same problem happens with the PC version. First time around I could talk to her once before she blew my head off. Second time, no dialogue option pops up, so all I can do is go forward after going through the door and get my head blown off. It's clearly a glitch with the game.

Also, I noticed the character keeps automatically walking forward when she points her gun at you. I'm guessing that's the actual glitch, the character gets stuck in the walking forward animation, and so you get your head blown off before you can initiate the dialogue.

To clarify, it's impossible to stop when she yells at you to stop and points her gun at you.

[Milosuperspesh]

agree to disagree....

once i figured it out there was no problem, so imo it is down to player error / lack of patience and it's sort of a puzzle.

also the sensitivity maybe to blame or you have faulty equipment if lee moves with out your input...

[mynameistej]

Its just really really sensitive. Do not hold down the walk key! Instead single tap it forward like u are typing to someone w w w w w w w w. Once she starts talking stop immediatly. This method does not fail.

[mynameistej]

What is it with you fuckwits, people who play games just as much as you are telling you it doesn't work. It doesn't for me and it doesn't for a lot of other people...

This is software, software has bugs and we don't need rude soft cock fan boys calling people idiots... it is a glitch and coupled with the ridiculous amount of time you have to wait for an episode it is the VERY last time this mob will get a cent of my money

Try it the way I suggest and post oresults... please :). I had the same issue.

[cmcgamer]

As others have said you just have to barely move forward, do not hold down the w (if on PC). I kept getting killed over and over (and thought it was a glitch). Finally I just barely tapped forward, waited a second to see if Brenda started talking and pointing the gun and I got the interaction. After about 3 interactions a walker grabs her at the top of the stairs. It isn't a glitch you just have to inch your way forward and it works. Good luck to all.

[NessaT]

Not sure about the glitch, but when Lee called her a bitch, she shot him.

I wonder why? :D

[Woder]

Its not a glitch, just don't walk towards her when she's pointing the gun at you. Pretty obvious if you ask me.

[SteelcityCanada]

You people just dont get it! Just because it doesn't affect your game doesnt mean there is no bug/glitch! Like I said, when I used REWIND and started the chapter over, and changed my decisions it worked fine the first time through, no problem at all. It is NOT player error. The steps I took the first time were
1. Killed Danny
2. Said to Brenda "Yeah its me"
3. Walked through the door, once she raises her gun to shoot you just get shot no matter what.

Second time around
1. Spare Danny
2. Said to Brenda "I left Danny in the Barn" or whatever
3. Walked through the door, got the hotspots and completed the chapter effortlessly from there.

This should be looked into by the developers as I now have to play knowing I didnt kill Danny.

[Milosuperspesh]

Its not a glitch, just don't walk towards her when she's pointing the gun at you. Pretty obvious if you ask me.

thisthisthisthisthisthisthis....

[SteelcityCanada]

thisthisthisthisthisthisthis....

How many times do you think I did that before using REWIND? IT IS A GLITCH. You cant just tap it and be patient. No matter what you do with the choices I made it wouldn't work. Change the choices, works like a charm. By the way when I did complete the chapter I didnt need to tap it. I could just hold up until she raised the gun, let go and repeat.

[Milosuperspesh]

ok so you told brenda you where danny and she see's a black guy walk in the door ???!!!

SERIOUSLY??? course she'd bloomin shoot you..

it worked second time cos you chose the RIGHT OPTION..

and then you do what i did and what other have said it ain't a glitch is just player error period. and that is my view not gonna change.

in short the whole section is a puzzle

So when she shot me shouldn't it start again before that part? Instead of "saving" and restarting a dozen times where my only option is to open the door in a neverending loop? This is a dead end then. The only option is to use REWIND. That is what you are telling me?

[Milosuperspesh]

i only have played ep2 once and i got past it within a few tries to work out how to avoid being shot.. i picked i ain't danny/ he ain't coming

[stunt double]

guys it's a glitch, I signed in just to post this. you may not be experiencing the same problems and the other posters but i am. When u walk in the door and begin to walk towards her the game automatically makes us continue the step. I have done this for 2 nights now restarting after each fail for a combined 2 hours. it's a glitch.

I've managed to to instigate the 2nd portion where the zombie is just above her once. since than i've not been able to get to that point.

it's a glitch to some users NOT ALL. the game makes us continute walking forward even though we stop, and hold back the stick to "go backward" in a sense but it does not allow us. the game automatically makes us take that extra step.

not all people get the same glitches. just because you didn't have the problem doesn't mean you need to be all over other people who have.

[stunt double]

and also i went through and played the scenario using all available replies numerous times, "got what he deserved", " yeah it is", etc...it's the same no matter the response for myself. and probably others

this really sucks because my game played smooth with no other problems and I literally was gonna beat it in one sitting but ran into this. hopefully they patch it for those who are having problems.

Actually I told Brenda I was Danny, and I managed to do it in the end. I did get shot quite a lot before I knew what to do, but then I stopped when she raised her gun and talked to her.

[Jimeainct]

It's a glitch ! It's easy to blame the player when you don't have the same problem , but trust me it is a glitch the dialog choices just don't load for whatever reason , it's not how you answer Brenda on the front lawn. If you lie to Brenda you can still progress in the game. It's not how you hold the joystick or whatever ! That is not how this game is played...It's an 'effen glitch! I had to reinstall the game to fix it . So that is what worked for me . Hope it works for anyone else who had this very frustrating problem.

that has no barring on game play...
You can replay that chapter yourself or go on YouTube and watch the I.G.N. walkthrough . Lee can lie to Brenda and still clear that part of the game no choices you make actually effect game play they effect the cut scenes . It's an actual glitch in the game. I had to reinstall it to get it to work .

[craftyard]

Yep. This is a glitch. I left Danny alive, then tried to trick Brenda into thinking I was Danny. I open the door, walk up, and stop immediately as she points the gun at me.

I try moving my cursor over her head, no option to talk to her at all, I die.

Try again, move it to her stomach, I die.

Tried this about 10 more times, I die every single try. And no, I'm not some big dum gorilla who doesn't know how to stop - I stop the split second she tells me to, and I always die.

So I rewind a bit, try again, and when I'm sneaking up to the house I choose the option to tell her that I've left Danny in the barn. The next time she points the gun at me, the option to speak appears, and I succeed.

So it's definitly a bug. So please, everyone who's called us "stupid" or "idiots", at least consider that maybe our game really is bugged before you start slinging insults around.

Btw, I played this on PC. Everyone I see who calls us idiots are playing the xbox version. Seems to me like the PC version is bugged, but not the xbox.

[stunt double]

I downloaded it again and reinstalled now that problem now it's fixed. I hope that works for you.

thanks for that, i'll give it a shot when i get home.

[stunt double]

Still dragged my guy into triggering her shooting me. I'm gonna try a rewind and use different approach. Which completely goes against the "choose your own adventure" style the game is.

I only deleted episode 2. Did u mean u delete everything but the save

[Ben_Kenobi]

I was stuck at this part for a good 10 minutes and it was very frustrating. I eventually turned the game off and tried to go back to the last auto save because I figured I was not supposed to go inside the house, but it would not let me exit the house once going in, and it autosaved at that point so I couldn't go back. Finally, I just got on the forums and found this thread and I tried a few more times, going a little slower and it worked.

Not sure if this is a glitch or what, but regardless, it is poor game making by Telltale, they should have made this part of the game a little more clear about what you are supposed to do at this point. It's very confusing and frustrating, so hopefully Telltale will learn from this mistake.

[greenj2]

Sounds weird. I'm playing on PC. I killed Danny, accidentally made the choice of telling Brenda that "I left him in the barn and he got what he deserved" and she still allowed me to approach her for dialogue options.

It's a pretty simple mechanic; approach slowly when she points the gun at Katja, stop and look for a dialogue option when she points the gun at you. If that's not doing it, sounds like you've got a nasty glitch.

[darren00000123]

I'm having the same problem on the 360 version.

When I first got to that point, I had killed Danny and then told Brenda I left him in the barn. I got the conversation options 3 times and I could see the zombie at the top of the stairs but she shot me each time after that because I screwed up.

Now every time since then, no more conversation options and no more zombie appearing at the top of the stairs. Brenda just backs up a bit and then shoots me. I've tried rewinding to the barn and choosing all sorts of different options but nothing is causing those conversation options with Brenda to pop up again.

Guess I'm stuck until they fix this. Hopefully soon.

[jojimbo]

tell her to "put the gun down...bitch!"
hahahaha rofl

[SteelcityCanada]

Hmm when I did the rewind maybe I should have tried the exact same responses again to see what would happen. Either way it was very frustrating to not be able to play the game and to autosave at the screen door where you are stuck in an endless loop of getting shot in the face.

[stunt double]

Ok if this doesn't get psyched this week I'm gonna split. Such a great game ruined becuz of this glitch to me. I was at edge of my seat when I originally got to this but now I'm fed up.

Redownloaded game and no dice. Still forced to walk into bullet. I have 2nd save back in episode 1 ill catch up to this point in ep 2. If sane problem and no word if patch I'm bouncing.

That aggravated.

[Tsteve]

Ok so I ran into this problem, tried looking all around the entryway, I tapped the 'w' key, couldn't figure anything out, she just kept killing me when I approached her after the first dialogue box. So I Google it, landed here and read all the pages thus far and figured out a way for people to get passed this part whether you're on PC or Xbox...

I literally had to TAP the 'w' key, wait 1-2 seconds to see if I triggered the response---and simply repeated that until she did tell me to stop again; to which I held my breath and was pleasantly surprised not being shot (repeat this process until she is grabbed, obviously). The problem is if you don't just tap the 'w' key (or however you do so with the dpad or analog stick) you literally will move "too far" beyond the zone of triggering just the dialogue and not overstepping your bounds with Brenda and getting shot.

Visceral games should release a patch or something, because it literally is a matter of milleseconds of tapping the 'w' key and you're dead. I went the whole Epi. 1 and 2 thus far without dying, but now I have died maybe 5-6 times just because of some over-sensitive dialogue triggering mechanic.

P.S. Wow, there are some useless and rude people on here. Try not being douches maybe?:)

[Machinimatt]

xbox.

This is the bug, right here ^, I have tested it. It makes no difference if you kill Danny or let him live, what matters is the four way dialog option as you approch the house, if you pretend to be Danny you will always get the glitch, (this option is kinda stupid anyway, how does a black guy sound like a southern white guy??)

If you use the option "where is Katja" the game tells you that Brenda has noticed you, then everything works fine

[CapnJay]

I found a brenda glitch.


She sounds remarkably fake when she finds out about kaatja. like an high school drama student trying to read lines in rehearsal

You guys are still :confused: talking about being shot while moving forward correct? I posted a solution that worked for me when I kept getting shot. Like I said, tap 'w' slowly.

I forgot to add earlier that I killed Danny and then tried to fake being him, but Brenda 'Noticed my lie' obviously.

Not a glitch...:mad:

[ronedogg]

I am having this same "glitch". Nothing im doing wrong. Game glitch 110% no doubt at all.

Ive tried tapping w waiting up to 5 seconds between. Still same god damn thing.

I have died, probably 40 times trying this. ONE time I had the first action pop up to plea with Brenda, then I was shot shortly after on next dialogue.

The hell with this game. 2 month wait now ya cant even play the whole episode hahahahah

telltale -1 customer here.

bye!

[Jdzspace]

Ok, this is silly. There doesn't need to be users insulting other users about this. I had this SAME ISSUE my first playthrough, and got really frustrated with it,tried it a dozen or so times. So I get it, i really do.

That being said it is with out a doubt 100% operator error,and NOT a glitch.
It does NOT matter what choices you make up to that point. None of that matters.

It's very very simple, when she says STOP and points the gun at you. Stop, don't jerk backwards ( which is what I did with out realizing it). Just stay still, it DOES take a few secondsfor the option to pop up, but it will show up.regardless of what you choose prior.

So please ,stop crying glitch when there is no glitch. You probably like me didn't realize you were nudging him back or something. Relax and enjoy the rest of the game :)

[RappinReggie]

I just have to say, I had NO issues with this part.

I did get shot first time because I called her bitch.LOL! I am really impressed with the way TT did this sequence. I reacted as I would in a real life situation and it worked out beautifully, nice job TTG, very intuitive. Sorry for those of you having issues, but I have encountered no glitches on this part of the game.

Absolutely fantastic game!!

It's very very simple, when she says STOP and points the gun at you. Stop, don't jerk backwards ( which is what I did with out realizing it). Just stay still, it DOES take a few secondsfor the option to pop up, but it will show up.regardless of what you choose prior.

So please ,stop crying glitch when there is no glitch. You probably like me didn't realize you were nudging him back or something. Relax and enjoy the rest of the game :)

sir you are correct. And i owe u a beer.

NO MATTER WHAT. AS SOON AS BRENDA STARTS TO TALK. DO NOT PRESS NOTHING AT ALL. AND THE DIALOGUE WILL COME UP.

Thank you.

[Machinimatt]

can someone with this problem plz record it and show us exactly what is happening

[guldur]

Yea, after getting shot over 40 times I finally got through it.

I am playing the PC version, and chose to pretend to be her son.

What happens is that the game is over sensitive, and if you walk one inch too much, your character will take an extra step and get you shot automatically.

The way I got through was moving milimetrically, barely touching the "w" key from time to time, eventually I managed to see the first dialog and talk to Brenda - after the first dialog finally appears, the others doesnt have much problem.

The game is definitely glitched and took me over an hour to get past that scene.

[SteelcityCanada]

Ok, this is silly. There doesn't need to be users insulting other users about this. I had this SAME ISSUE my first playthrough, and got really frustrated with it,tried it a dozen or so times. So I get it, i really do.

It is a glitch. I finished Episode 2 so used REWIND and started from the barn. Kill/Spare Danny doesnt matter. It is when I pretend I am Danny walking up the stairs into the house that sets up an infinite loop. I use REWIND again and use the other 3 options and can make it through with no issues about getting shot. It is NOT user error. I can beat this part with ease when there is no glitch. My controller works fine. Fix this bug please!

Wrong. In the scenario I was in I can press nothing at all and still get shot. I know how this scene works as I have been through it close to 30 times.

[bghjkl]

Can someone record this glitch happening? My first try I pretended to be danny and I died the first time when she shot me "I told you not to move" or whatever (because I didnt stop walking, didn't know she'd actually shoot me etc). The second time I did the same thing but when she said "Stop right there" I FUCKING STOPPED RIGHT THERE and called out to her. 3 time. No problems.

The problem is that you can´t stop when the glitch occurs - she says "stop!" and shoot you right after, you don´t get the chance to do anything as your character takes an extra step automatically.

Why would anyone bother recording so you can believe them? Enough people had this glitch, and I myself had it too.

This is false, I have made it through with all choices. There is no infinite loop. There is a sensitivity issue. But that is it, that's why I said operater error

The reason he is asking for a recording is because many of us had this issue and made a simple adjustment to fix it.

It's just a stupid sensitivity issue not a glitch

He asked for a recording because he did not believe us. He stated he got through with no problems. All I am stating is that many many people are having issues with that part, just do a google search. I did have it myself after being stuck for over an hour on it.

I never said I didn't believe it. I said I'd like to see it happen because I tried to replicate it and couldn't. I think a lot of people would like to see the glitch in action. Stop being so angry and drawing conclusions.

[riven4300]

hi guys,just registered for answer.

kinda glitch because u step up 1by1 lee keep going forward and YOU PRESS DOWN TO STOP HİM.BUT WHATEVER KEY U PRESS HE KEEPS GOING.SO

its glitchy.But just use right key(D) for going forward while Brenda not poking at u.and u will see the dialog button.

btw previous answers dialogs , do not effect of this problem.

[guldur]

I never said I didn't believe it. I said I'd like to see it happen because I tried to replicate it and couldn't. I think a lot of people would like to see the glitch in action. Stop being so angry and drawing conclusions.

My bad then, I apologize. There have been some many people treating those with glitches poorly that I got a bit defensive.

Anyways, since I managed to get through, I can't record it anymore. The issue is that you never get a chance to stop. even if you take small steps, Brenda tells you to stop and then shoots you immediately. No dialog, no nothing.

[Mike]

If any of you are still experiencing this, are you playing with Standard or Minimal UI enabled? Are you playing with a gamepad, or using keyboard/mouse?

Our QA department is definitely looking into this issue, but we have not been able to reproduce it. If any of you have a video of it happening that you could post, it would be helpful.

[crash665]

I found that if I pressed any button at all after she tells me to stop or don't move, she shoots me. If I "Tell that bitch to chill," she shoots me.

It was a little tricky and took me a couple of tries, but I got it. Think about it: If someone is pointing a gun and you and tells you to not come closer, yet you still do, what do you expect to happen?

[Sunago]

For those of you saying that people who claim this is a glitch are morons and need to stop making idiotic decisions and that they are whiners....knock it off please. It's not nice.

Having said that, I'm sorry but it's indeed a small glitch in the game. For some reason the walking option gets a tad stuck when she's raising the gun, causing Lee to keep walking for a fraction of a second if you had been holding it down before that. It could be that it has a small delay too, haven't been able to tell. Hence why you get shot quite often.

The solution to this is to just tap the forward button/key in very short bouts. With some patience you can solve it this way.

It causes the walking animation to get a little dorky and it looks off and weird but it really is the best solution.

[holeydonut]

I have typed a long commentary about this in a new thread. Please read it if you are having issues against Brenda on the Xbox360 platform.

I was playing standard with keyboard/mouse. I have already got past it so won´t be able to record, but my choice was killing the guy in the barn and pretending to be him. Also I was moving forward with "w" key.

[moicanorj]

I passed since first try and attempt to react as i would do in real life, i never threathned her and only walk closer until she warn me, so when se open the mounth i full stop and try to calm her again, and so walk close again(and she start to fall back a little) repeat and continue
considering the fact that i warned her of my approach i cant see worst case scenario to her shot me and still i been suceded
Maybe some of you just only going to fast?

I did the same thing but on PS3. Killed Danny, pretended to be him. Stuck in a loop at the screen door. I will try and use a REWIND and see if I can recreate it on video. Also, I would just tap the stick fwd and release it right away and still get shot. On my rewind playthrough I dont need to tap it. There are no sensitivity issues. I hold the stick hard until she points the gun, release, repeat.

I'm still having this problem on the PC version of the game. I've tried using both my 360 controller AND the keyboard controls, and have had no luck with either. I'm going to try to get it on video soon - and I'll post it here when I do (if I can capture it right).

[Tjam84]

My cousin beat it and it was her 2nd time picking up a Xbox controller. She didn't even die once.

It's not the game it's you. If she shoots you right when she points the gun at you it means you didn't stop fast enough.

No it's not him. The game is badly glitched at this point. No interaction icon appears, no matter how fast or patient you are.Thousands of players are having the same problem, just google it. Oh and check things before you write replies.

It does NOT matter what choices you make up to that point. None of that matters.

It's very very simple, when she says STOP and points the gun at you. Stop, don't jerk backwards ( which is what I did with out realizing it). Just stay still, it DOES take a few secondsfor the option to pop up, but it will show up.regardless of what you choose prior.

Sorry mate but you're wrong. Maybe on pc you're right but on xbox i've done it like 50 times and not moved an inch sometimes taking about a minute to get to her, but the game locks you in and she shoots. It's a glitch pure and simple. Gonna try the rewind thing and see if that helps

Try swapping controllers (I posted about why this may work in another thread).

I borrowed some controllers from work and was able to successfully pass the Brenda-Scene on my Xbox at home.

Then I swapped back my old controllers and sure enough I failed the scene when I was doing the exact same thing with the controllers from work.

I think it's ludicrous that we have to produce video evidence of this happening. It's also ludicrous that in the mean time the moderators allow trolls to crap all over these threads where we're trying to communicate that it is a serious problem affecting the game.

If using different controllers got you past it, doesn't that prove that this is an issue with your controllers, not a bug in the game? Unless the bug you were referring to is having Brenda shoot you for moving the stick AT ALL when most people have worn-out controllers that wiggle when stationary....which isn't a bug.

It isn't "ludicrous" to have to make a recording to report the problem. TTG Chimed in here and said they're trying to look into it but can't recreate the problem (I personally wouldnt waste time in this thread if I were them, would be worried about the ACTUAL bugs like the one affecting mac users). Obviously if they can't see the problem they can't fix it. It's not like recordings are hard to produce. I made one of me passing the scene and it took like 10 minutes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFLX5KM3HhM

Also, I tried all the selection combinations leading up to this scene trying to recreate it and always passed it. so, if there is a bug (huge emphasis on if) it must not affect the PC version (the steam version anyway) because I can NOT get it to happen. Later on I might dig up my beat up M$ xbox 360 controller from 2004 to see if that does it.

Update: everything worked fine with xbox controller too. see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzD2ByMQfDM

You do realize that in my other thread I do assert that there is an overt problem with the code itself. I assert that the game players have no way to know that their controllers are at fault.

If you play Call of Duty and your left thumbstick is messed up, then your aim moves by itself when you're stationary. You have some feedback mechanism to tell you that something is amiss. On top of this, the game is still playable with the problematic thumbstick.

Contrast that with the Brenda Scene. Users have no way to get feedback that they've encountered a scenario that is impossible to pass if your controller is slightly wonky.

And it's pretty obvious this affects a huge number of players because TTG introduced a very odd gameplay mechanic that I have not come across in any other video game on the Xbox360. There is no game I can think of where the effects are game-halting punitive if your left thumbstick is not absolutely stationary.

Edit... you're a lucky SOB since you were able to pass that scene using your your controller doing what you show in the video. Because I'll swear under oath of penalty of death that I did the same thing and was shot by Brenda about 2 dozen times. Letting go of the thumbstick = shot in the face. And now I have to put up with non-empathetic trolls telling me to eff off. Thanks.

A funny note in my game is, that when i tried to convince Brenda that i would be her son, it gliched. Everytime then when i tried to stop approaching her lee keep moving forward.

But when i just let Lee say that it's him, not Danny, then everything works fine. I can stop approaching her etc.

Same as in my game. Exactly. I killed Danny, did you?

[Falchek]

I finally got past this after about 30 attempts. I'm playing on Xbox 360.

What worked for me was to rewind. I didn't kill Danny, and I identified myself as Lee by asking about Katjaa and Duck. I don't think these choices affect anything, but just in case you want to try everything I did, there it is. I don't think Tell-Tale-Games would mess something up like that.

Basically the glitch for me was that Mark at the top of the stairs didn't load. I'm fairly certain he's visible as soon as you open the screen door. If you don't see him, you're going to get shot. It's not red light/green light where you move when Brenda is looking at Katjaa That's a load of crap, basically. It's either bugged or it's not, and Mark not being present is a prime indication.

I did end up switching controllers. I'm not sure that the problem is the controller not resetting to null, but it couldn't hurt to try. When I clicked it forward, what I did was tap the stick up, but not the whole way, basically just enough to get Lee to edge forward - basically halfway to the top. Trying to quickly flicker the control stick the entire way just got me killed.

I think the problem is improperly stored variables, not the null stick position. Basically someone programmed too late into the night, and their testers just happened to get through it by luck of the draw so it slipped through.

I severely doubt that this is actually a test of skill - to have a situation this sensitive is far, far beyond the spectrum of the game's difficulty, and out of the scope of the rest of the first two chapters. This isn't a skill game, and shouldn't be one. Honestly, I would prefer if it was a skill/timing based game, but mostly it's just guiding an awkward cursor onto light up beacons. If this is just programmed to be 'difficult,' it was a major oversight, and should be patched down to the rest of the game.

Think about it: Why would they have a difficult stop/go game for the penultimate encounter with zero instructions, and then for the final scene they give you specific instructions on how to punch. There's no way that it's rigged to be this difficult.

They may be delaying patching this simply because they are in a rush to get future episodes out. This bugs seems sort of common, but if it happens to 1/1000 gamers, financially it's not worth spending time on to build a patch for.

Personally, I'm not going to buy the next episode for at least a few weeks to make sure that there isn't a problem like this. I love Walking Dead, but not enough to sit through this kind of frustration again.

It IS a red light/green light event

Mark is not visible at the top of the stairs until Brenda backs up the second time.

A couple posts up I have youtube recordings of myself passing the scene with both keyboard and xbox thumbstick.

I don't think it's even a problem with the controllers, because my xbox controller SUCKS, I got it on launch day, and it's seen 8 years of Halo. The thumbsticks are not perfect, they have quite a bit of play when not being touched, yet I managed to play this scene and vigorously shake the controller with brenda pointing the gun at me, and I still didn't get shot.

This is either a completely random glitch (which I still REALLY want to see a recording of) or just a case of people not knowing how to pass this scene. This is literally the only "do it right or die" point in twd (other than the qte fights)

[billyidle]

I created a forum account just to come here and say the glitch is happening to me too. Whether I use a 360 controller or mouse, I have no dialogue options. I've tried everything. I've changed the UI modes, graphic settings, sound, everything. I looked up youtube videos to make sure I was doing it right, and no luck.

Uninstalling now, good job on the first chapter, got my money's worth for that at least

[ronedogg]

Wrong. In the scenario I was in I can press nothing at all and still get shot. I know how this scene works as I have been through it close to 30 times.

f*ed if i care if it fixed it for you or not. worked for me. :)

[tubaros]

Read through all of this thread, and there are some extremely unhelpful people around aren't there. Registered just to add my name to the list of people banging their head on the desk repeatedly. I've tried this around 30 or so times and it just won't do it. Whether glitch is the right word, not sure. I can get to the first conversation after the door, then move forward and *sometimes* do the 2nd one, but after that, there's just no way of knowing if that next step will kill you or save you.

The problem is that the animation is on rails, as opposed to free in other parts of the game. When you enter the house, if you hold down forward continuously Lees shoulder moves up and down 3 times, indicating 3 steps towards Brenda. If you do it the only workable way, i.e. bit by bit, if this animation is even slightly in the wrong place, he steps forward the animation continues - which you can see if you look at the doorway/light to the right (getting sick of seeing those now..) it keeps moving about 3 pixels (I suppose for the animation to find a resting spot) and she shoots. If the animation hasn't completed its step up or down, then he carries on. It's more a case that it was the wrong way to implement it in the game - it would have been better if it didn't require you to stop dead at the right point in a way that is really open to failure, when you can't see what your feet are doing.

I'll happily video this if, you know, six pages of people with exactly the same issue isn't proof enough. Would be great if there was a way of patching it as this series is one of the best adventure games I've played in an extremely long time. The emotive side, story, characters, choices, everything is just spot on and I cant fault it. Until I try to walk forwards in a house...

[Milosuperspesh]

tubaros have you ever paid attention to brenda and NOT lee ?

are you using a controller ?

yes video it then we know

but ultimately when brenda says stop you HAVE to stop and when the dialogue comes up always pick the top one.. and don't move till she points the gun at katjaa..

it really is fking simple IF your not using a worn out xbox pad...

[skepticalguy90]

Not sure if this still matters to anyone anymore, but I found that Brenda stares at Lee for a while, then glances down at Katjaa. I've done it at least twice, and if you only move forward when she is looking at Katjaa (timing it correctly with speech), you can beat it.

it's all to do with brenda's gun...

Hi yes, I honestly have tried everything-Ive watched when she looks down, ive stopped in a complete mix - Ive even done it so much Ive tried when her expression changes, lol

No, PC, so keyboard and mouse, which is where I think the issue stems

yes video it then we know
I'll capture it on Wegame later or tomorrow

but ultimately when brenda says stop you HAVE to stop and when the dialogue comes up always pick the top one.. and don't move till she points the gun at katjaa..
all the above already tried :-(

I know it is, and that's what's so frustrating for me and other gamers that are also experiencing it - not everyone on this thread but enough for it to be a valid gripe. Honestly, I see how simple it is - just move forward, read the queues from Brenda and make sure you don't overstep a point, but the engine kicks in and makes Lee do another few frames of animation, if you haven't stopped at the right cycle and thats it, game over :-(

More frustrating than anything is its a game that has offered such an excellent experience. I'd hate to go into episode 3 having missed any choices or important story threads

[Milosuperspesh]

sorry if i was harsh matey

i use a mirco soft /razer keyboard

and lee never moves with out my pressing the w and thats with varying pressure and timing.. i'll try the arrow keys.

maybe try and turn you brightness up so you can see brenda if i could figure out how to get a brief vid up i'll do one.

at 0.27, if you see when this person stops, for about 2/3 frames it ever so slightly continues and its that which is the issue. im going to try one last thing, dropping all res and detail down to minimum, in case its just a rendering issue - my pc is fine, but i just wonder if its that..

[Milosuperspesh]

hey tub can you edit your posts to join them up double posting is 'annoying'

yeah i see what you mean it's does look like a glitch

it's like the game knows you ain't moving but the animation has to complete and the game is detecting movement instead of control so you die..

if you look at my vid i move incrementally so i'm on the edge of progressing the scene..

[tubaros]

soz about the double posts - I didnt have my login and was remoting in on my ipad to my pc that was logged in , didnt think about edit post. This is all very strange, so Ill just keep trying, groundhog day style!!

Looks very smooth on your pc, btw

[Milosuperspesh]

cam studio doesn't allow anything less than 1ms a frame lol

and fucked if i know why the sound from the game doesn't work, will try another prog and see what happens.

also i can up the quality but of course that makes the file bigger ;)

how do i sound ? lol

[Halfstackcrazy]

Hopefully this helps; if not, I'm just adding to the chaos. :D

I play the PS3 version, killed both brothers, and told her I was Danny when entering. She capped me dead the first time.

The second time, I simply eased in there (starting back up after I'd made my announcement speech)-- hovering the cursor on both characters and opting to "talk" to whichever one would let me. As I noticed her take a step backwards my son noticed a walker at the top of the stairs. I repeated the "ease forward/talk" method until this crazy woman became dinner for a zombie.

Best advice: use that "talk" feature during this sequence and don't make hasty moves forward. ;)

[Milosuperspesh]

you mean the 'talk feature' that is on katjaa and only turns up when brenda is pointing the gun at you...after you've moved close enough...

[darkstreet]

guys!
i find the way
if you moving the mouse after she told you to stop, she will shot you! every time she begin talking, dont touch the mouse and keyboard

[Milosuperspesh]

did you watch my vid? i am clearly moving the mouse while she points the gun at me....so you is wrong. your welcome ;)

[SaveDoug]

I've never had a problem with her shooting me. If you move the mouse or on PS3 the reticle over her you have the option to talk to her. Once you speak to her she will back up the steps and warn you that she's going to shoot. Don't walk forward and talk to her again. Do that like three times and she gets munched on by the legless walker.

I did experience the exact same glitch on Xbox360 after
- having killed Billy
- having identified as Lee

All went fine for the first two "don't move"+"question" sequences, but at the third time she shot me anyway. So I knew exactly how to do it, but for a dozen times I failed.

Solved with the youtube video hint: when she points the gun at me the third time, I immediately paused the game, then resumed, and I got the hotspot for the third and final dialogue.

fixed :P

Alright, so after reading through all of the arrogant posts about this obvious GLITCH being user based and telling us that we need to stop, I thought i'd make an account to post.

I am playing on the PC and I too have encountered this exact same glitch, I choose to kill Danny and when going towards the house I told Brenda I left him in the barn. Once going through the door I started TAPPING the W key ever so slightly for TEN MINUTES and got to the point where Brenda points the gun towards me and yells "Stop"... I STOPPED DEAD, I DID NOT PRESS ANY OTHER KEY, and no dialogue popped up, I was NOT able to interact with Brenda in any way, including where the interaction option should be (her stomach) a there was not even a pause when I stopped to search for the interaction hotspot, I even turned on the help "buttons" that shows you the hotspots but none showed up. Just after a split second of stopping she immediately shoots me.

For those that have not experienced the obvious glitch and think it is due to the player, please wind your fucking neck in. We are more than capable of knowing what the word STOP means, we are NOT stupid, you are just ignorant due to the game working fine for you. I have beaten this episode before, along with the episode 3, but due to getting a new upgrade for my computer I had to start all over again and still encountered this glitch.

I got past this glitch by choosing NOT to kill Danny in the barn and choose to say directly that it was me coming up to the door and was able to get past this situation without any issue.

So in conclusion I feel that when you kill Danny and say you have either left him in the barn or pretend to be him, it glitches out on that part.

[isavedDoug]

My right-stick cursor is planted on her forehead. I am not a gamer who relies on "inverted" mouse to be effective.

I've just played this scene, her 'Talk' option isn't on her forehead, it's around the stomach area.

[nalandial]

I just got to this scene and am having the same problem. When she tells me to stop I let go of everything and a second later she shoots me anyway. Nothing to click on, forehead, stomach, whatever.

I killed Danny in the barn and pretended to be her son coming into the house.

[cordawg411]

I have tried every solution on this thread. Nothing has worked. I am playing the Xbox 360 version and my controller is brand new. It is not user-error. I have yet to receive 1 dialogue box.

I have used the rewind feature to go back to Chapter 6 and start over.
>Didn't work

I have flicked the LS forward and waited 10 seconds before I'd give it another flick.
>Didn't work

I've tried inching my way toward Brenda mashing the 'X' button.
>Didn't work

I've tried inching my way toward Brenda and immediately pulling back on the LS.
>Didn't work

This is incredibly frustrating and I don't think I've ever encountered a game-breaking glitch like this before. Can someone from TTG please address this issue? I would sincerely like to continue playing through this series, but alas, I cannot get past this section because of this issue.

P.S. - All the people who are calling the people experiencing this issue 'idiots,' 'morons,' etc. really need to get a life. Did you really think for one second that I enjoyed getting shot by Brenda so much that I would do it for an hour and then create an account on the TTG forums to state how much of an 'idiot' I am?

[Milosuperspesh]

I All the people who are calling the people experiencing this issue 'idiots,' 'morons,' etc. really need to get a life. Well some of these people are actually the problem not the game..

erm yeah ?

ok seriously now, what are you actually doing ? cos this scene is all about brenda's gun aim if it's on lee DON'T MOVE

If it's at katjaa's head move till the guns back on lee.

if your trying to move with out watching brenda you'll get shot,

as for what to do when she is aiming at lee is.. only aim at katjaa to talk to them and then always pick the top option/ the option that doesn't piss brenda off..

[cordawg411]

I deleted Episode 2 and reinstalled the game. I then started getting the dialogue boxes doing the EXACT same process of inching forward when Brenda was not aiming at me. I have no idea what happened other than it was very frustrating going through this section of the game.

[Milosuperspesh]

cooler heads prevail

so you're sorted now ?

[aaron1290]

I had a glitch with brenda where her modal was her standing up with her arms out O-o
she still killed me though when i first played...

I guess telling her to put the gun down.... yeah...

[Praxsta]

Clue - Red Light, Green Light,

[dinofire]

Why the heck are people still replying to this thread?

[kaiiden]

Hi, i had the same problems as everyone else is having here and i was getting very annoyed with the people claiming it wasnt a glitch. However i continued to look online for a solution and i found it for me . All i did was pause the game as soon as she said stop. simple

[Ctn04132]

Funny how the iOS version si relatively free of these weird bugs..

[RonTheDon]

Well some of these people are actually the problem not the game..

honestly

I just made an account for this purpose only, and man you are rude and not understanding what people actually are saying

there have allready been PLENTY of individuals telling you it is NOT possible to stop like that due to how the game is made
do you need glasses or what?

I've put exactly 2 hours of game play just on this single thing, and no matter WHAT I do, the game won't give me the option to start the dialogue with Brenda

if you don't got a solution for the actual problem (you pretending to be a know-it-all ain't helping one bit) my suggestion to you is you stop making all those comments

they are a waste of time for us who actually have a problem with this part of the game, and in the end all they do is piss us off

[Corcline27]

As much as you hate her. You have to use the prions they give you try and reason with her. Even though you want to say ill kill you. That won't work. She will shoot if she feels threatend. If ur nice to her she just keeps backing up and threating you. Then mark saves the day :)

[Mattassacre]

You guys are fucking retards. IF PEOPLE SAY IT DOESN'T WORK, THEN IT DOESN'T WORK!!!!!! My guy kept getting stuck in the walking animation OVER AND OVER AGAIN! IT'S A FUCKING GLITCH YOU FUCK TARDS! After 20 attempts it finally worked. If I did nothing different each attempt and it finally works after doing the same fucking thing over and over again then it's a fucking glitch and it luckily didn't happen on the 20 attempt. SHUT THE FUCK UP AND STOP ACTING LIKE WE'RE FUCKING RETARDS!

[Mattassacre]

Yep. This is a glitch. I left Danny alive, then tried to trick Brenda into thinking I was Danny. I open the door, walk up, and stop immediately as she points the gun at me.

I try moving my cursor over her head, no option to talk to her at all, I die.

Try again, move it to her stomach, I die.

Tried this about 10 more times, I die every single try. And no, I'm not some big dum gorilla who doesn't know how to stop - I stop the split second she tells me to, and I always die.

So I rewind a bit, try again, and when I'm sneaking up to the house I choose the option to tell her that I've left Danny in the barn. The next time she points the gun at me, the option to speak appears, and I succeed.

So it's definitly a bug. So please, everyone who's called us "stupid" or "idiots", at least consider that maybe our game really is bugged before you start slinging insults around.

Btw, I played this on PC. Everyone I see who calls us idiots are playing the xbox version. Seems to me like the PC version is bugged, but not the xbox.

Same problem on Xbox and those dumbasses blaming the person, FUCK YOU!

Probably is your own fault.

Xbox 360, disc, unpatched (because I have no internet, which is why I have it on disc)

Is there some sort of patch I can download onto a flash drive, or do I have to ask for a refund? I don't want a refund, I want to playing a working version of Telltale Games The Walking Dead, but if I can't have that, I'll have a refund. I don't want a digital version, because I can't redeem a digital version. I want a patch that I can put on a USB, and then onto my Xbox 360, or a refund. I'd much rather having a working version of the game, though.

Doesn't work, have done everything mentioned in this thread. I did it 65 times, in fact. On the 62nd time, for the first time, a box popped up. Finally, dialogue so I can finally proceed! And then I got shot immediately after. Admittedly, the second stage of the confrontation, where I got myself killed, might have been user error. I've only gotten to that point once, so I won't deny the possibility. However, I'm absolutely certain that my game is bugged, as I was able to successfully do it once, and then less then two minutes later on a reloaded save unable to do it while doing the same exact thing (which I did for the forty or so times before #62). Stage two in the confrontation may be human error, but stage one, I have no doubt, is a bug.

However, lets assume that the second and third stage of the confrontation are all bugged, and at the same rate no less. Thats 3,844 tries until I get past stage two, and 238,328 tries until I get past stage three of the confrontation. Quality control for the win, huh?

[Supporter of Lilly]

Probably is your own fault.

Your probably right it is :D

[michikade]

Maybe it's the iOS version vs the 360 or web or anything else, but Brenda never even pointed the gun at me - she just kept tightening her choke hold on Kat and tightening her grip on her. I wasn't so worried that I was going to get shot, so much as I was worried that she'd blow Kat's brains out and I'd have yet another person's blood on my hands. Maybe I was edging so slowly that she never even got to the point where it would trigger her to point the gun at me.

I'm wondering if the xbox version or the PC version's controls are just that much more sensitive. I know that moving just a little too much or saying just the wrong thing can get you killed (later in the game, I got killed a few times for not doing the right thing at the right time).

[Bioshock Infinite WD]

This thread makes me remember Nova's play through, he almost made a entire video dedicated to him getting shot.
