I didn't say every character that died is likable and you are just being rude, Milosuperspech.

It doesn't prove your point at all. I'm not assuming anything, I'm making reasonable guesses based on the information I gathered. You are asking for an unreasonable amount of due diligence and the fact is, there are a LOT more disposable characters in the comic and series then there is in this game. That alone makes a pretty big difference.

In horror movies, the more likeable characters tend to live longer not die out in the third act. That is what this game is more akin to. For the tv show and comic series, those things can go on for years. This is 10 hours of gameplay. That is a very different format style and combine that with supposedly being given choices... Choices mean that you can change things for the better, save people that might die otherwise.

Given all that, why should so many people be dead at this point? There is a difference between saying anyone can die and just killing off so many characters that your emotional involvement with the relationships, the primary focus in this game (remember, it's not a shooter where you just blast everyone), suffers.

Where do you get this attitude that you need to insult everyone that is upset about how the game is turning out?
