I'm not sure. I told everyone I met in the beginning that I wasn't Clementine's father, but people kept calling me that anyway. Maybe he's always supposed to call you out?

Hey yall! LONG TIME NO POST.

It's been a rather rough few weeks for me beyond releasing this title. I'm still working on getting stats back up and running (yup, they're static for now). When things get back up and working, I'll let you all know. Hell, I can't wait to found out the info!


So are you actually still collecting the data, or once you get it working will it only show data collected from that point on? It'd suck if it was the latter, since so many people have already beaten the first episode and won't have theirs count towards the total.

Is each episode going to be $25~ ?

As awesome as the game was it was really, really short for $25. I don't know if I'd want to pay $25 4 more times for equally lengthed episodes.

If you paid $25, you got the season pass and all the upcoming episodes will be added automatically when they're released, free of charge.

God damnit Kenny. I was on his side in episode 1 but he's pushing me over the line. His poo poo with Lilly is getting bad enough, but he just asked if Lee knew how to pick locks because he's "Urban". Kenny is on my poo poo list.

I had the same reaction. Really turned around after ep1. His actions in this one MAN!

RamrodMC posted:

Are you sure? He helped me. I took the cattle prod, and it wasn't enough to take the brother down, so Kenny popped out and slashed him with the sickle, which he had taken. Kenny seems like a bro to me, just had a serious foot-in-mouth moment. He even admitted it was a retarded thing to say.

That motherfucker just sat and watched. I took the cattle prod, but Lilly came in with the sickle and took Danny down. Last episode I was against Lilly and with Kenny (Although I don't like how trying to reason with Larry about Duck possibly being bitten makes Kenny act like you were against him, I was just trying to avoid any violence), but now I'm 100% on Lilly's side. As much as Larry was a dick he had good reasons for it.

So I ended up killing both the brothers. They were sick motherfuckers and I couldn't let them get away with what they did (Especially to Mark, I liked him ). I was also against killing Larry, because by that point I felt like Kenny was being an irrational rear end in a top hat. I didn't want to take the food either, since what Lilly said made sense. Besides, Clem is still my #1 priority and she already watched me kill two guys.

I'm kind of depressed now. That was heavy.

He's the new guy. Lilly mentions near the start that he joined them because he brought a bunch of food.

Er, but they totally did unless I missed something - I mean, the farm gets swarmed by walkers at the end, right? I can only assume that meant the generator was still off?


I don't know if you did this, but I killed the second brother by kicking him into the electric fence. The generator failed just after that and the walkers started to come in. It might have failed because of the rain damaging it; maybe if you don't kill him the walkers get in and finish him off?

Someone said it when that episode came out, but I gained a ton of respect for Larry when I spoke to him at the end of episode 1. He knows who you are and what you've done, and while he's not going to cause a massive rift in the group by trying to expose you, he doesn't trust you and he doesn't want you near his daughter because she's his priority in all this. That's not so different from Lee and Clem.

Meanwhile, Kenny might be a good leader when the situation is alright, but when the poo poo hits the fan he's irrational and makes a bunch of stupid decisions. He wanted to kill Larry before we knew he was dead, he ran off alone to try and save his family, and he was willing to let Lee die because he didn't care about him. Lilly on the other hand might not have wanted to piss off the family at the dairy by poking around too much, but I thought the same thing when I first arrived. I didn't agree with everything she did but she's a much better leader under pressure than Kenny, who gave up all pretense of trying to protect everyone in order to find his family.

And I don't care if that "Urban" line was funny, it still makes him a dick.

Is it possible to keep Larry and the dairy wife alive, or Jolene? Also the game seems to be slipping up at parts. Kenny started off saying I didn't have his back in Episode 1 even though I did, I just didn't punch Larry, and then it spiraled down and down from there.

Nope. They all die one way or another.

As for Kenny, if you choose to reason with Larry then Kenny takes that to mean you've taken Larry's side. I did the same thing and I'm annoyed about it, since I was just trying to take Kenny's side without it coming to blows. Telltale apparently saw that a different way.

And Holy poo poo 81% of players shot Duck themselves which proves my point IMHO. Sure, you could argue they wanted to spare his parents the pain, but I doubt that. And for that matter, can you imagine having some half-stranger mercy-killing your own child? It might seem like a mercy at the time but it's really the parents who should have to do it, for their sake. I picked Katiya because I thought she would be able to handle it....

gently caress that, I probably wouldn't be able to shoot my own kid, I'm not going to make someone else do it. You really think 81% of players shot Duck just because they found him annoying?

That's from the comic. originally Lilly was supposed to be a character from the comic, but they just put out another comic that contradicts that so now she's just a really similar person with the same name.

The trailer for episode 4 is fantastic and I MUST play it now. Episode 3 was a nice breather (relatively speaking, of course) but it looks like the poo poo is going to truly hit the fan in 4.

Did you play a different episode 3 than I did? Cause my episode 3 was far from a breather. I don't know how they're going to top that many characters dying.

With Kenny, I managed toconvince him to join me, but I was against him most of the time.

I:
tried to save Shaun
reasoned with Larry over Duck possibly being bitten (which Kenny held against me anyway)
tried to save Larry
refused to take the supplies in the car
shot the woman in the street
fed Duck (and Clem)
talked down Kenny instead of fighting him
Shot Duck and the kid in the attic
Told Kenny to kick Ben's rear end later, voted to kick him out and let him drop (Not particularly proud of that)

Despite mostly being against him, I used the "Clem is family" line and he came with me since I was there for his family. Considering I went for Shaun over Duck and the whole reasoning with Larry situation, either what I did for his family was enough or Telltale decided to let the Larry confrontation in episode one go after so many people complained about it. I'm surprised he's on board, but it's cool to have so many options for who you could take with you.

The problem with Lily is [comic book spoilers]that her fate after being abandoned/leaving the group is already determined. She joins Woodbury, is part of the attack on Rick's prison, she shoots and kills Lori and the baby and then she kills The Governor.

Actually there's a comic coming out about Lily, so they've had to retcon that so that the Lily in the game is just a person called Lily who looks like the one from the comic and has a really similar background. I'm sure that was the intention originally but the wires must've gotten crossed somewhere and now there are two.

Just starting this game, does it actually penalize you for not efficiently terminating the weakest/lowest-value characters at first opportunity? This would really impact the realism for me, it's a zombie apocalypse, not a charity gala.

Wayyyy late, but this reminds me that before Episode 5 was released (meaning if you haven't played through 4 yet you might get spoiled) there was an interview with the voice actors of Lee, Clementine and Kenny about the game. Not sure if anyone linked it before.

Fennoy (Lee) calls it the best video game script he's worked on and his only advice at the time for Episode 5 was "Have a box of tissues handy." Also he and Hutchison (Clementine) didn't even meet until they the recordings for Episode 4 which makes the whole thing even more impressive.

Be warned, if you don't know what Dave Fennoy looks like then you're in for a real surprise when you scroll down.
