Breaking Point? [Ep. 3 Spoilers]
Did you reach a breaking point? A point in the game when it just seemed like too much?
For me, after Duck's death I was at a low point. I felt there was no hope for a second there. Carley's death shocked me. Then Duck was bitten and Katjaa killed herself. After I shot Duck, I went back to Clem and I felt like she was the only good thing left in the world.

-Chuck- I like this guy even though I think there is something suspicious about him regarding the missing family photo in the train. He is realistic and straight to the point, which really helped Clementine. I liked his quote "There are no 'boys' 'girls' there is either alive or dead' it went something like that. He makes some very good point even though I have suspicions he might be Terry St John, The father from the st john farm.
-Ben- He is not trustworthy because he lied about his deal with the bandits, which caused a death... I can no longer trust Ben, he seriously fucked everything up.
-Kenny- He's an asshole still, but I feel for him considering what happened to his family. I don't know why, but I just can't come to trust Kenny. Yet, I think he is one of the only people I can trust.
-Clementine- She's the only good left in the world, and she's very trustworthy.
-Omid and his gf- New survivor, seems nice. But still going to be some trust issues considering the past with the St. Johns, etc.
I'm not too sure. Just pointing out that it is possible.
I was saddened by Duck getting bitten. No child deserves that, even if the child is a bit obnoxious. I expected Kat to take her own life. I thought it would be after Duck was shot and not before, though I can understand why she did it. In her shoes, I would have done the same. Even if she hadn't committed suicide, I think she would have been a liability in future episodes. She simply didn't care anymore, and that attitude alone is enough to get someone, if not everyone, killed.
I don't really trust anyone that we're with now. I actually wish there was an option to leave everyone we're with and just take off with Clem. I think the chances of survival would be greater, but I have a feeling that no one is going to make it out alive in the end. I hope I'm wrong about that though.
I didn't even notice the photograph missing on the train.
Thats why you should NOT of choose Doug! I knew Carly/Doug were gonna die this episode I just didnt know how. After building a romantic relationship with her the entire beginning of the episode...well it was pretty shocking. I agree too, at this pace everyone will die somehow. I think 1 or 2 of the current members will make it through maybe like ben and christa. I dont think kenny will last much longer, he like katjaa has nothing to live for now.
But then Lilly goes and shoots her point blank in the head because she thought Carley stole the supplies and no doubt she couldn't handle Carley putting her in her place. Jesus I was so mad at that point. There was no way in hell Lilly was getting back in that RV. Man I was wanting to put a bullet in her skull after that.
Carley's death was too much of a punch in the gut. For all the ways for her to go out that had to be the was the worse ways for TTG to do it. I don't think I can manage another play through and see it all play out again and not be able to stop Lilly from killing her in cold blood.
It was too abrupt, when they killed Carley/Doug I didn't even realize.
I was like "Wait.... who the f*ck did she shoot?"
Then it dawned on me.
Someone I follow on Twitter compared "Long Road Ahead" to the Kobiashi Maru scenario from Stark Trek; a test where the more you tried to win the worse things got, and the whole point being not to win but to teach you to think clearly and remain focused till the very end. I think that sums up Episode 3 perfectly and, by the end, I had no sense of victory but I did feel I'd made the best choices I could under the grim circumstances.
It really was a shameful scapegoat for Lily's departure, but what can you do. It certainly added to the sense of no longer being in control even remotely.
Ben: Burn the whole city... that's pretty extreme for the life of one girl
Lee: Fuck the city. I'd burn the world to save Clem
Then Kat shot herself and, well
I felt pretty heavy after that. I just can't believe how fast you're able to lose people in this.
You'd think by the end of the deaths you'd get used to them dying but, no such thing here.
It's realistic in that sense.
Are you 5 years old? :X
This is GREAT story telling!

Yeah, I was starting to get pretty apathetic towards deaths because of the comic. Then all of this happen and somehow I felt so much depression. Not anger or rage, just hopeless and depressed. Probably because it's a game and I feel like I'm more in charge of their lives whereas it's just a comic and I'm reading a story.
but wow i'm actually dreading ep4/ep5 at this rate...
