Telltale Games

Katjaa holding her son while talking about Doug. It even beats Kenny and Ben in that alley and Lee's final moments.

The most emotional moment for me in the series was Duck's death.

To me losing one of the children represented the lowest point for your ragged group of survivors. The safety and well being of the kids had always been the number 1 priority, and to lose one just felt like an absolute disaster. It also didn't help that I had grown fond of both Kenny and his family.

From the first reveal of his bite wound, to watching him suffer as his health declined, to talking Kenny down on the train, to Kat's grief-stricken suicide over the loss of her son, to Lee volunteering to do the awful dead to spare Kenny from having to do something no father should ever have to do...it was far and away the saddest portion of any game I've ever played.

Previously only had one game had made me cry, and that was the end of Silent Hill 2. TWD got me twice, first with Duck's death and later with Lee's.

I'd rank Duck's death as having been affected me more than Lee's however, because Lee sacrificed his life to save Clementine. There was a small positive there in that, whereas Duck's death was just a horrific loss.

While not quite moving me to the point of eyeball sweat, there were a couple other moments in the game that I was emotionally affected by. Carley's death and burying the boy with his dog (and Lee being reminded of Duck) were up there.

Personally, Ben hanging by my hand in the belltower broke my heart.

For about four years I was suicidally depressed. I'd convinced myself that I didn't deserve to live, that I was worthless. I barely hung on and pulled myself out of that black hole eventually, but it has always stuck with me a little.

Ben begging me to let go, I just-

It's the same hole. His is a hell of a lot bigger than mine, but it's the same goddamn hole. And it just hurt me in a way I can't describe to see someone else in it. I had to pull him out.

I melted down, my heart broke into a million pieces, and I started sobbing like a baby when Clem said "My parents, it's so horrible... and now, you? PLEASE... please don't become one of them, please don't become a walker..." ;_;

BenIsKindaCool · 12/17/2012, 05:09 am

I knew from the beggining,that ep. 5 is gonna have a sad ending,so I tried to keep myself together..But I started to cry when Ben stood up for himself...God,I'm weak!
And poor Ben,man,He didn't have ANYONE with him after what happend to Travis and Their teacher..

zev_zev · 12/17/2012, 05:31 am

I don't know why, but I was cryed when Lee hug Clem after he killed stranger, I remeber that she was told "I'm sorry Lee, I'm so sorry!" They was finally together, but no long. That was a last moment when they was happy together.

twisty77 · 12/17/2012, 12:19 pm

My most emotional moments were Lee's death, Duck's death, and Carley getting shot.

Lee's death was the most rough because of what you have to ask Clem to do. Gosh dam I was crying like a little girl. I'm tearing up just typing this haha

Duck's death was so bad, I can't imagine what it was like for an older guy who might have a family and was playing this, imagining that it was your wife that just committed suicide and now your son is about to die as well...

Carley's death wasn't so much sad, but I was legit rage pissed at Lily for doing that. I left Lily's ass behind in a fit of rage, only to have Clem ask about it and she looks at you like you just kicked a puppy...

Rock114 · 12/17/2012, 02:13 pm

Duck's death, by far. Everything from making Kenny stop the train to shooting Duck myself was just heartbreaking. I'd about had it with Kenny by that point, even though I sided with him in the meat locker, so when he told me he thought he was being punished because of Shawn's death, I understood how he had been just in time to see his family die, and Kenny change. After he and Kat went into the woods and there was the gunshot, I actually said "nobody else dies today!"... and then I saw Kat. After I shot Duck (barely, because I could hardly make him out through my tears) I pretty much came to terms with Lee's death, because seeing exactly how screwed the group was I was certain Lee wouldn't make it. That may be why Lee actually getting bitten didn;t affect me as much, because I had already braced myself for it.

Ichig0cake · 12/18/2012, 02:42 pm

When duck got bitten, when lee died and was talking to clementine (I cried the most), when chuck died and when kenny died. Oh also, when andy was on his knees and got punched.

anyway, there are too many emotional scenes for me to list! (+ when Ben was hanging by the bell tower, and when Molly explained her situation... When clementines parents died..)

HiggsBoson2142 · 12/18/2012, 07:37 pm

I was one of the people who tried to hold in their tears, and I told Clementine to leave me. But I completely lost it when she whimpered while walking away. I kept it in again, then there was "Take Us Back".

This. This is where it finally settled in that this wasn't going to have a happy ending. Also, "I cant imagine Sweet Pea."

The delivery of those lines hurt even worse.

slimymeteor · 12/19/2012, 11:45 pm

Duck's death was incredibly sad, thinking about how not too long before that, he was having fun, being a kid pretending to be Robin. When I saw his bite, my heart sunk, and I had bad feelings inside, but the moment I cried was right after Kat had killed herself. When Lee raised the gun to shoot Duck, I could hear his strained breathing, and that was rough hearing the dying breaths of a little boy. I couldn't help but wonder if he was still conscious enough to see his mother commit suicide, knowing he was about to die as well.

I probably cried a lot more though in the finale. When Lee struggles to just stand and realizes he can no longer go on was like running into a brick wall, knowing that the road ended there. It's weird how even though I knew it was coming and was bracing myself for it, it still had such a big impact.

Makes me really happy to see how much you guys love our scenes. Keep the compliments coming!

The winner for me has to be the Finale, with Lee telling Clem he was bitten (her reaction was heartbreaking), the whole scene with them talking and then Clem shooting Lee

But Kenny's bromance speech and when he locks Lee behind the gate and shoots Ben aswell as The Duck scene. TellTale certainly know how to get you attached to the characters!

HarshMouse · 12/22/2012, 09:25 am

When Lee showed the bite to Clem just after she saw her parents as walkers

I cried like a little girl the rest of the episode. And I had never cried because of a game or a movie before.

And when I sided with Kenny in the meat locker. Damn... Never again

BenIsKindaCool · 12/22/2012, 11:15 am

When Duck died..(I have that feeling,like I'm the only one who liked him -.-' )
And all the Lee-Clemy thingy..Also, Ben dying (?) :/

bretonian · 12/22/2012, 01:20 pm

The most powerful for me was in the pharmacy office in episode 1. Moving the table with Clementine, then her cutting her finger and Lee putting a plaster on it, was when I realised I totally loved this game.

Besides the ending, the most emotional for me was also when Clementine curled up in front of the window in episode 4 and started crying.
