Telltale Games

montesinos7 · 12/06/2012, 05:00 pm

This game was awesome, and I loved it. It followed the tradition of being depressing as fuck just like the comic. The ending was... freakin insane. I felt a part of my soul get stabbed every time they killed people Carley..Kenny..LEE. Well I guess it was a good ending, I just wish that you could have saved at least yourself. What did you all think of the ending and predictions for season 2?

Well, Episode 5 got me really depressed. My first choices in my main playthrough pretty much lined up with Kenny, so I got sad as heck when he died saving Christa. So after seeing his best friend die, my Lee nearly got killed at the hands of the Stranger, was forced to smear Clem with zombie guts, then promptly passed out in the street. After waking up in the jewlery store, it was a non stop depression fest as Lee slowly died in front of Clem. After being separated from the only people left he trusted, and seeing his best friend die. Seeing Clem after the credits made me feel (somewhat) better though.

I would have to say LA Noire is more depressing than this game but it's close.

i found LA Noire depressing but only because it had this amazing technology and had an authentic feel to it, but the game was ruined by the main mechanic of the game which was deciding whether the stupid faces they were making were lies or not and then if you were wrong you had to stop interviewing the suspect and you couldn't just ask the question again, that totally ruined it for me and i didn't complete it

Really depressing. I had to hug my blanket for a few hours.

..And I'm not even a kid ._.

Yeah I agree with all of you--- I have never played L.A Noire but I doubt it could be more depressing than this.

short_stack · 12/07/2012, 03:33 pm

this together with Braid are the most emotionally depressing games ever.

Xarne · 12/07/2012, 05:19 pm

Depressing masterpiece is a really good term. As much as it killed me inside to watch everything post handcuffs play out, TTG really stuck to the theme of the series and didnt handwave a happy ending...at all.

Will85 · 12/07/2012, 07:22 pm

idk does kenny even die? After he tried saving Ben all you hear is a single gun shot and then silence.

You think he could survive all those zombies with no weapon?

its potentially possible if he managed to push his way past the zombies in the alley without getting bitten he could run, and the building he ran into could have had places to run to and doors to close behind him, but I'm not saying that potential is proof he is alive

aaron1290 · 12/08/2012, 08:24 am

Did you know if you saved ben in ep 4.
dont shoot the incoming zombies in ep 5

when kenny gets given the gun it will have 2 bullets... he shoots himself and ben with it... you hear 1 gunshot cutting ben out of speech and kenny ( presumed ) saved himself the pain so if ur a pro kenny dont shoot the zombies in ep 5 and let kenny kill himself

montesinos7 · 01/26/2013, 03:22 pm

Thanks for the tip, had no clue about that.

Shrewsbury Survivor · 01/26/2013, 05:05 pm

Playing episode 2 again. As Kenny kills Larry and Clem crys. I started getting worked up.

My problem with Kenny's death is that This is The Walking Dead, where it glorifies showing the deaths of loved ones to make you depressed and sad.

The only reason they would not show some gruesome end is to leave it open for possibilities in the future.

The Fallen · 02/01/2013, 01:33 pm

Episode 3 was actually the height of my depression. I wasn't ready for it, and everything i'd been trying to hold together fell apart and of my two friends (Clem is family) Carley was dead and Kenny wished he was. It was clearly a dark game from the start but for 4 characters that had been there from day one to be gone so suddenly was more than i ever expected so that took me of guard and i was actually quite shaken.

By the ending i knew what to expect and it was very much head down "got to get Clementine out", especially once Kenny died. I was actually felt bittersweet. It was hard for Clem, but i felt like i had done my job and she could make it without me now.

The end credits and reflective song still got me though.

montesinos7 · 02/01/2013, 02:43 pm

Argh they should have either made 1 game and killed off Lee, or made 2 and killed off Lee at the end of the second, not killed him off at the end of the first and made a second.

Violet Virago · 02/02/2013, 12:42 pm

My most emotional episode, discounting of course the immense volume of tears at the ending of Episode Five (I think that's just a given), was actually during Episode Four. While Episode Three was definitely the saddest (even if I only cried a little), I found that Episode Four had the most weight behind everyone in the group, or at least what was left of that group. It was in large part due to just seeing how the next episode would be the last, and that it was almost over, but Episode Four just struck me as a long haul in which all the characters you've grown to care for, and all the new ones you've just met are suddenly shown for what they really are: The walking dead. Kirkman's famous line from Rick echoes throughout the entire cast and it really does seem that after all that has happened in Episode Three there is no more going back, these characters are exemplified by the words of Chuck, "you're either living or you're dead." The whole time I played Episode Four, and then onto Episode Five, I noticed that any of those happy "Did you lick the saltlick?" moments were almost gone or made irrelevant as the truth really set in. They did a remarkable job of making the series "lose it's innocence" so to speak, and making sure that the events of Episode Three were not just sad to be sad, but that they had a lasting effect on the narrative itself. I don't know, just playing Episode Four always makes me see the struggle to find humanity that The Walking Dead is known for in all of its forms.
