Man " adapt to the choices you make"? What choices?!?

[Aldaron]

Lily is a comic book character, that's why she HAD to leave and you couldn't kill her (a reasonable course of action for a convicted murderer). She had to leave to join with the governor so don't expect her to come back.
It's a bad move from Telltale to use characters from the comic since you know (or at least the ones that read the comic know) that they can't die, they have to leave.

probably worse for the non readers since they dont understand why their choice to save Sean was mooted or why no matter how nice they are to Lily she's out too...Im sure Sean's death was the spark to the 'no choices' fire

Every choice in this game is bullshit and pointless, it's too much of a rail game, even that bs decision where you had to give out food. I don't care at all about putting up more money towards the game but damn c'mon can I at least get more options which will actually effect something? I loved the game up but the lack of how ineffective my decisions are to the story is pissing me off. Dude, throw a donate button on your site and I wouldn't mind kicking out some cash for an actual update that would tidy up some choices so you actually can save Carley or leave with Lily or something.

People want the option of being able to save everyone, if they do things just right, but that isn't how TWD works. People die constantly in the comics, the game does a good job of staying true to that. I would have loved to save Carly, I was sad that Lilly was out of the group no matter what I did, why did Duck and Katjaa have to die, etc. etc.. Tragedy is hardwired into TWD, it adds realism to the writing, and I think they were wize to make the game this way. Try to appreciate the story, and stop worrying about how much your decisions are affecting it.

That not the point, I didn't want to save anyone, I just want the decitions to matter, I want them tpto change something, anything. The RockPaperShotgun review hits the mark in that sense.

I don't think that is it. People didn't like Carley and Doug serving the exact same purpose and dying the same way. Or that if you choose to save Sean he dies the same way if you choose to save Duck. Or the end of Episode 3 who ever you choose to save when the train leaves, has the same line and the other manages to jump on the train.

People want just a little variation, it wouldn't take much to do it. They could have found a way to kill Carley and Doug differently. Or Irene, she shoots herself no matter what. I think it would have been a good scene to leave her begging for mercy, Would have made the choice to give her the gun or not much more meaningful.

Technically speaking, they did have little variation. Or rather, they did the same things, but done differently. Carley saves you at the St Johns by shooting one of them, Doug however shines a laser-light in his eye hilariously.

They both die by Lilly's hands, but differently. Lilly thinks Carley had done it Carley doesn't help by driving her over the edge, making Lilly snap and kill her(which shows once again that Carley is an idiot for ticking off the lady with a gun, smart move guys for saving her! She totally was useless!). Doug however dies like pro and saves Ben's because Lilly is about to kill him instead, but Doug pushes him out of the way and takes the shot.

I do however like your Irene idea and wish they did that instead...

Can we just chill with the complaining and appreciate the game for what it is? *sigh* I hope this forum doesn't transform into a whine fest...

For someone who doesn't like the complaining, you sure show up in every single thread on the subject to complain about complainers. Why the hell are you even reading the threads if they offend you so much?

That is a double negative, therefore you meant that all the choices DID make a difference

I'm glad we agree
