Who cried during the finale?

[AsariTears]

Yes, when Lee and Clem said their goodbyes and Lee told her she's so strong and can do anything. And then told her to always keep her hair short :'(

[Cyreen]

Ditto. A perfect "Aww, *sniff... tears*" ending.

[Maggard]

No offense guys, but if you didn't "see" how this was going to end by the wrap-up of Chapter 2 then you must never have read The Walking Dead or know the basis of it.

There is no "winning" in the Zombie Apocalypse. There is only breaking even for as long as you can.

Lee did everything he could in every way imaginable and you know what? He bought Clem longer to do the same.

No one is safe. Nothing is sacred.

attaboy Vain! And it should be noted that anyone who starts a new "crying" thread "should be boiled with thier own pudding and buried with a stake of holly through thier heart, ", or at least have the Dickens slapped out of them.

I never reached actual tears, but I did feel an intense sorrow watching the ending play out. I tried both endings to Lee's story, with him asking Clementine to shoot him and asking her to leave him. They are both so intensely sad, but I think asking her to leave him is by far a sadder end.

Her pleading with him to come with her and not become a walker, right to her final words asking him "Don't go..." and then watching as his lifeless body slumps against the radiator. Man, I felt so sad watching that play out. Episode 5 was just intensely sad from beginning to end, much more so than any other chapter and that final chapter in the jewelry store was just plain heartbreaking.

I'd say I was just a shy short of CinnamonToastKen's reaction to this. I had then started to wonder whether I could somehow ratchet up the misery a few steps more, so I went ahead with some musical alterations to the scene. Even if pushing it a little, given our sensibilities, it will certainly pass muster with someone from over here. However, I can only guess how one outside that native background might take to it (likely a deal over the top for some), so consider it at the least a cultural experiment.

Holy Crap, not only did i Cry, i broke down in front of my family. This was insane. I felt a little sad about katjaa, ;ess about the other deaths, but holy crap was the ending heartbreaking.

Not since the last episode of Battlestar Galactica with Adama and Roselyn did i cry so much.

[TheNNerdGamer]

I literally cried on Lee's last moments, when Clem shot Lee I was sad.
At the end of the credits might have been christa and omid at the distance so she might be safe

[Emmerd]

*Slowly raises a hand* ...And I'm a girl.. (Not that matters, cry your eyes out men!)

But seriously, I get a bit hurt by comments like "If you didn't cry at the end, YOU'RE NOT HUMAN >:C". So what am I? An alien? Seriously, I just knew it was just a game, not real. If it was real I would cry untill I died from dehydration. But really, I don't tend to do that a lot in games.

It's okay to cry, but it's also okay when you don't cry.. Right? XD


P.S. Excuse me for my English, it's not my mother tongue c:.

Well if im honest i did feel like crying, and the reason was is because the characters are not just some cheesy made up on the spot people who are like mindless idiots, I actually adapted to the characters (im a guy by the way) And when kenny died...I felt destroyed, I loved him, I loved the whole series. Can't wait for the next 5!

[JakeSt123]

I didn't, I was more astonished than sad.

[Matrox Yang]

I didn't cry (I've never cried at a video game) and didn't even feel like crying. That being said, it was a very good episode and I felt like I'd been punched in the gut when that thing that happened to Kenny happened.

[rachellouise85]

I was more "no...I haven't got Clem back to Omid and Christa" Not now,a little bit more. *keep bashing the button, trying to make Lee get up* Then mixture of feelings, which stopped me from crying.

That's true and I respect that.

Cheesy or not, it was still just a game for me.
Of course I was a bit sad.

Sorry i couldn't help myself!

A question for OP and the people who didn't cry. Nothing wrong with that btw.

How recently did you pick the game up? Have you been playing the episodes as they released from the very beginning? I feel like I cried so much because I just got too attached to the characters over all those months. I can see how somebody who bought the game last week and played through it wouldn't experience the same emotions I did, maybe wouldn't cry.

[WD40]

I didn't cry, and to answer the other question, I got each episode on the release day. I did feel emotional, but it takes a fair bit to make me cry. I think the last time I cried from a media source was when Sturm Brightblade dies in the first Dragonlance book trilogy.

I don't know about that. I played it over the course of a day and a half and shed more than a few.

Emotions are weird. I laugh sometimes, especially at jump scares in video games/movies/etc. Not a normal reaction, mind you. For instance, I laughed when Katjaa was trying to help that guy in episode 2 and... well... you know.

[HiggsBoson2142]

I cry when I've given up on hope, and I didn't cry. Well, maybe when Ben was telling me to let him go...

Glad to hear it.

I'm not saying this game won't make people who just picked it up cry, just saying they probably won't feel the same attachment as the guy who's had them on his mind for the last 8 months or whatever.
