[SPOILERS]The Walking Dead Episode 4 REVIEW Thread

[NeonBlade]

Episode 4 and Episode 2 are probably the best episodes with Episode 2 edging out just abit due to the scenario and writing. Some parts of Ep4 were tone deaf and I didn't like some of Lees dialogue in this one. Episode 1 would take 3rd place and Ep3 being the worst structurally and narrative wise.

what did Ben say when you saved him?
Kenny didn't side with me either -___- I thought we WERE on the same page lol.
And i was so upset Molly left, she was the new Carly lls.

2nd question did anyone HID there bit?
and if so did they find out the same episode or are they saving it for episode 5

I pulled ben up, I hated him for causing carley's death, didnt really care bout katja and duck as much as I did carley, but after hearing clementine talk about ben, I didn't want to let her down. Also, theres a chance that Lee will survive, I'm pretty sure the guys in charge of the game mentioned them planning on doing a second season, and theres also the fact that during the talking dead for the show, they mentioned theres a cure for it. So yes, there is hope. Also still holding on to hope that carley will come back, when I look at the seen it looks like she gets shot in the cheek, which makes me think she might have been stunned, no one actually checked on her afterwards so theres always a chance.

All he said was "why?" lol. I'm thinking of hiding my bite the next time just to change it up and see if Kenny will go with a unbitten Lee.

If she wasn't dead the million walkers that were coming up the road would have gotten her 8(.

Kenny did go with me. The choice I selected was I told him that Clem was my only family. I saved Shawn and sided with Larry in episode 1 ( that is what the games tells me, I was just trying to reason it out ), but I was still kind to Duck throughout the previous episodes. I also did NOT help kill Larry. I even pulled Ben up.

Whatever secondary choices I made throughout my play through it was enough for Kenny to join me in going to look for Clem.

Does anyone know if there is a way to see the stats of the group that follows you at the end again?
I can only see the stats of our choices. I would like to know who the rest of the community is coming with.

Me as well. I checked again, and there is no way to get to it.

I trust she is coming back to save you at some point on Episode 5 or even make an appearence on Season 2 (if we can use our save files from Season 1 it would be awesome!).

NOTE: MAJOR SPOILERS

This episode left me in shock. Lee's bitten, Clem's kidnapped, and now everything's going to hell. Just absolutely shocking stuff.

Oh, and since there's a bit of this discussion going on, I didn't save Ben, showed the bite, and allowed Christa, Omid, and Kenny to come with me. I showed support for Kenny at the beginning, questioned him after episode 3, and I was surprised he kept his sanity at the end of Episode 4 (probably due to Ben's death). Christa and Omid, they were just good people to be with. They obviously wanted each other to live, and I felt I had to save Omid during the episode. Christa was also very nice to Clem as well, and she wasn't much of a threat.

I didn't want to go alone. Clem's basically a big part of the group, and somewhat family to Lee. Everyone has a right to save Clem, and that's what I'm running with.

Just one episode to go... brace yourselves.

That what i thought.....Why TF would i go by myself? lol that seems like a bad idea.

I thought Christa was pregnant too i was like hmmmmm she's too emotionally involved in this video lol

Just finished episode 4. Damn Telltale... That's F'd up!!!!
Intense game playing, and I hate you guys for making me wait another month or so for the conclusion. lol

[Bobo Benitez]

Reading some of the other posts. I hate Ben with a passion, but I couldn't just feed him to those things. I saved him. I showed everyone the bite. Kenny showed me Duck's bite, and all though it's just a game I felt I owed him the same. I told the group I would go alone, but they weren't hearing it so I thanked them and we decided to go as a group.

I've been playing 3 versions of the game. The first play through I just do what comes naturally. Then I have one where I back Kenny on everything, and a third where I side against him on every turn (even going as far as to not give duck any rations in episode 2).

I thought after episode 3, i had really nothing else to lose except for Clem. Whitta proved me wrong. Knowing that Lee is pretty much already dead depresses me to no end. As excited as I am for the next episode, I'm also scared to see how this will all end.

Well seeing since they're still in Savanna, I don't think she got that far. I'm hoping she'll show up sometime next ep.

[2-_-DEAD]

Just played through a second time. I dropped Ben, showed the bite, and got Christa, Omid, and Kenny to come with me. The first time when I "saved" Ben, Kenny would not come with me at the end but when I dropped Ben he came. Glad too because Kenny is waaay cooler than Ben. I would have rather have not dropped Ben but that's the way it had to be lol.

[Hoqt]

My first time playing: I saved Ben because he's stupid and naive. He's stealing and giving supplies to the bandits to keep us safe and alive.

Now I'm ready to play for the second time and see what happens lol.


Chuck, ur always a hero. I wish I can save you,

I showed my bite because Kenny were there. I remembered that Kenny and kat showed duck's bite when we were in the van. They were honest to me. So I have to do the same for them.

[Dave of Canada]

I... don't understand, I loved the episode and every single piece of it was great but I disliked the ending. Now, this isn't to say I didn't expect something to happen to Lee eventually, it's just the way it was portrayed.

Had the bite been somewhere that couldn't be amputated, somewhere like his shoulder or something, I'd understand why amputation wouldn't be possible but the wrist? That's something I'd try to cut off, whether or not I'd die from blood loss the potential for survival outweighs the guaranteed death through the bite.

Hope there's an option immediately during the start of episode 5 on whether or not to amputate, potentially altering how events play out without your hand (leaving you incapable of doing certain things, possibly killing off other characters as you can't save them).

I mean, we've never dealt with a bite victim in a region which is treatable (something which has been covered in the comics). Duck couldn't be amputated, it was on his back.

[Bambietta]

Aw man I can't believe they ended it like that or that a game can stress me out this much, I bet the next one wont come out until Christmas or New Years.

[Mrwalto69]

Did anyone let Kenny beat Ben's ass when he admits to killing his family ? haha
i watched a stream so i'm in Australia waiting till tomorrow for the pc but it was a very good episode 3 and 4 have been the best so far , i'm going to save Ben , i dunno i just feel we need the numbers and even if the kid is a screw up i still respect him , Kenny i've been with since day 1 and am never giving up on him , the whole Lee bitten thing seemed predictable that was the only downside of it , I'm still wondering what happened to Vernon ? i mean he wants Clem , next morning his gone and the creep says his not Vernon which could be full of BS but remember that guy that Lee saw creeping on him when he was burying the boy ? he looked like the same guy in the family picture in the house , maybe thats the guy who took Clementine ? such a massive last episode to finish an amazing season ,
