F*** Kenny

[adam86shadow]

Initially I was sympathetic towards Kenny however since Episode II he can go screw himself! Reasons be:

* Granted I chose Shawn, but I knew Kenny would save his boy HOWEVER he still didn't help me save Shawn

* Three months on and he still won't drop the fact that I just wanted to be sure Duck wasn't bitten!

* Apparently I am not welcome on his RV despite giving his kid sweeties at the Drug store however I still give his boy food a second time and get a maybe...

* He's so bloody argumentative... I get accused of 'sitting on the fence' when trying to keep peace

* He assumes because Lee's black that he can pick locks

* He then kills Larry before we even get a chance to help. Yeah he's an ass but it's better trying to save an extra pair of hands!

* I then get accused of not having his back (again) because I wouldn't kill infront of Clem

* He does F all to help in the barn except run off and potential get killed

* He seemingly doesn't care that I saved his life, his wifes twice and fed his boy twice...

adam86shadow, that's basically what happen with my first play, except with the difference that I saved Duck and not Shawn.
That's the reason cause I will never ever again tolerate his behavior. He's going to pay for betraying me.

P.S I want our thread to be top thread again so, well, say something
Sisterofshane, where are you? :P Say something that we will make us discuss is for another 10 pages :P

Different depending on whether you sided with Lilly or Kenny in the meat locker. Also, Kenny thinks that he can "sort everything out" with the group. Sudden personality change?

If you side with Kenny again in the meat locker, he says "I'm going to need you to back me up on this" AGAIN.

You think too much that your action have impact. They don't. I did the exact opposite to Kenny. For example if you Chose to save Shawn and not duck, and then even say it was all Kennys fault that Shawn died he will still give you the ride without being mad. And then after Duck got MAYBE bitten if you go all balls and want to throw Duck out to the zombies etc later he will STILL save you after you got punched down etc.

None of your actions within the relationship actually matter as much as you seem to think. The exact same happens. Doesn'tmatter if you do 500 actions all in his favor, or do the complete opposite. The only thing that will change is a sentence every now and then during a scene, but all results stay the same. So it is not worth the hassle to try to side with Kenny.

If you do,you will essentially have to back up all 3 or otherwise theres always a reason why he could be against you. And like I said, it doesn't matter. Even if he DOES have a boat, he will mostly likely use it anyway regardless what you did the 500 times before. Or someone else will do something with the exact same result. Such as the Doug / Carley situation where no matter what you chose both do the identical moves just with minor tweaks to it (Doug use laserpointer instead gun, Carley just magically fixes the camcorder while they actually imply that Doug fixed it himself).

Making your decisions to actually matter in any way, shape or form seems to be too expensive as far as I heard.

the TTG writers really dropped the ball with kenny

at least give lee the option to confront kenny on his bs. i've saved his family more than he has and he has the nerve to show me disrespect?

[Superfluid]

It's easy to side with Kenny in the beginning because Larry is such an ass. But the hard/unpopular decisions usually pay off in these types of situations. My guess is that those of you that side with Lilly over Kenny will get a better payoff in the end than siding with Kenny. I cant bring myself to do it, however, solely because of Larry.

[zgamer]

They still need to fix the "Reason with Him" issue

Ok, now I got that out of my system.

The fact that you think they dropped the ball probably just proves how well-written the character actually is, since he's provoking the desired response.

A lot of players seem to expect a lot of gratitude from people for the things they do, even when what they do goes against the character they expect gratitude from. If you don't have his back why do you think you should have his respect?

It's not Kenny's responses so much as the lack of response Lee gets in being able to call him out on stuff or beat people over the head with facts. I've made the same observation.

As the saying goes, "crap rolls downhill", and Lee's been getting a face full of it for like, two full episodes. That should change.

Kenny is my best m8, how dare you speak of him like that, we look out for eachother all the time.

Ok good point. So if any of you had the chance to tell Kenny something what would it be?

[Galdis]

I sided with Kenny almost all of the time, except in the meat locker. Even then I told him "you're not a bad guy, you just jumped the gun". The previews for episode 3 don't bode well for this.

Since Larry dies either way I doubt my decisions with Lilly really matter. At least I have Carley and Clem.

[YamiRaziel]

People, our thread is slowly dying!!! We must keep it alive until episode 3! Then we will have fresh material to hate Kenny for :P

it's not dead noone has anything to add that isn't said to death

I wonder how many people would shoot kenny in the back soon as they get to his boat and get it running

Not that simple, you need someone with sailing expertise.

Next Episode Lee and Lily are going to be going at it like rabbits if carley isn't around if she is then lee and carley and lily. Even if Lily hates Lee it'll be angry sex. Because these people are so damn pent up.

or worse Kenny and Kaatja blowing off steam

your welcome for the mental image
