Episode 5, no thrill of anticipation?
Hey guys,
I've been barely able to wait for all the previous episodes of TWD but now since Lee's one of the walking dead himself, I feel like I don't care that much for the final episode because Lee will end up dead anyway and that's quite a lame ending. I feel kinda similar to how I felt playing ME3...it was all a waste of time, since the ending is going to suck regardless of what you did before. I would have preferred Lee dieing in the finale depending on your choices rather than railroad him to death, but TTG thinks different, obviously. Let's hope TWD isn't going to be the 2nd highly anticipated game in 2012 that has a terribad ending.
Are you guys still looking forward to the finale, or do you have mixed feelings about it?

I'm really looking forward to this last episode, I want to know how he's going to save Clem before he turns.
Seriously? There's still people who think he isnt going to die...? You seem to have some awareness of the Walking Dead universe (or maybe not), so saying something like not having him die is stupid.
Dunno why they had to have him die. They cold have made it an option in episode 5 or just don't kill him at all. I know plenty of decent books/movies that are decent even if the main character does not die a tragic death.
In Kirkman's world, Lee is dead, it is just a matter of time.
Telltale showing us the story where he dies is nothing new.
Telltale showing us that he lives while remaining faithful to the Holy Kirkman, that is a challenge.
It's a lot of undead to digest but I'm still looking forward to e5:D
all i'm hoping is have an EPIC showdown with RADIO BASTARD!
lee is now a DEAD MAN WALKING
This.
Just because the main character dies doesnt mean it is a bad ending. ME3s ending wasn't written very well. If the previous episodes are a sign, that won't be the case for TWD.
Agreed, the whole we have to use machines to wipe out organic life in order to prevent machines from wiping out organic life, really just sad. A lackluster ending to an otherwise great series.
what... why?
He's going to die.
Pretty much exactly how I feel.
Think about it though, what was the point of this game? To keep Lee alive forever? Wasn't the point to get Clementine to safety, either to her parents or some safe place?
I'm fine with Lee dying if he can accomplish the objective.
I'm looking forward to season 2.
Uh people blew that out of proportion i put over 300 hours into ME 1-3 it was unnecessary. The ending were decent the extended cut was horrible no effort at all. The point was we were supposed to guess what happens and if your still not satisfied there's a fourth one coming.The whole plot of mass effect 3 built up on the catalysis what did you expect to happen?
Oh this is a thread about TWD yes the wait is "killing" me
Uh, anything but another character being suddenly introduced at the last 10 minutes of the final trilogy. Then picking your colored explosion to the original endings which were 97% the same. I was expecting to fire a weapon and not talk to a ghost kid with circular logic and being completely unable to call him out on his BS. I'm sorry but not everyone views ME3 endings as decent, let alone great and the backlash that BW received was very necessary to wake them up. Its no longer the company that made great games like KOTOR or DAO.
1. That's your opinion.
2. Something more interesting.
Whew! Preach it! Amen brother!
Also I didn't mind the ending of Mass Effect 3, but then I consider the entire game to be the ending to the series, not just the last cutscene. All of my choices mattered there.
Having Lee live or die depending on your choices is, to me, a copout. It would mean there is a 'right' way to play the game and a 'wrong' way to play the game. Having him get bit regardless allows us to play how we want and not be completely punished by a premature ending.
Yeah, that would have been perfectly fine as ONE of many possible endings.
You know that was a fictionalized account, right? It wasn't a given the main characters would die.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanic_(1997_film)
You missed the point of what I wrote.
The Titanic sinking was the inevitable end, it was one piece of the story everyone knew would come. People didn't know how the character pieces were going to turn out and so it remained something intrigueing enough to get excited about.
Lee dieing is just one piece of episode five that everyone knows is coming.
We're yet to know how the group dynamic that ended episode four will play out.
We're yet to know the fates of those he takes with him.
We're yet to know the fates of those he leaves behind.
We're yet to know how he'll deal with it if he goes alone.
We're yet to know clementines fate.
We're yet to know how Lee will deal with her kidnapping.
We're yet to know who the kidnapper is or what he wants.
We're yet to know how Lee or others will deal with his inevitable end and possible rise.
There's a lot more to episode five than Lee dieing, Just as there's a lot more to Titanic than the ship sinking.
No, I'm pretty sure I got the point.
Of course, the issue with that being that Rick ain't dead, ditto for his kid who happens to lack depth perception.
Of course there's a "right" way to play the game. If you choose not to help Clem in the Drug Store at the end of Ep. 1 or in the train station in Ep. 3, the game ends.
Forcing the bite at the end of Ep. 4 (atleast the way they did it) basically strikes me as a cop-out in and of itself: it lumps all Lees into the same pile, alert, observant, Lees get the exact same fate pretty much the exact same way as the Lees that weren't. I say that as somebody who fully expected Lee to bite it at the end, simply because killing off the protagonist is old hat (seriously, the very first story written in the English language does it). Problem being it wasn't even a surprise to me what was going to happen when I noticed I was literally being railroaded to the garbage pile by the invisible wall on the left side of the street so I couldn't see behind it, since I know to be observant around potential cover sites.
I'm itchin' to see how much Lee can do before he dies.
Can he save Clem?
Can he find Clem's parents?
Can he take down Pedo-Man?
Can he save his friends?
Can he take down a horde of zombies with only a shotgun, a chainsaw, a smart ass comment and a kickass attitude.
Can he kick Kenny in the Daddy-bags for being suck a jerk?
Find out in Episode 5!
Then try responding to the point instead of going off on some pedantic tangent.
I suppose the question becomes once again: How many of these options can telltale realistically implement in a $20 game? ME3 has gotten a mention and it couldn't do what some people want TWD to do for a third of the price. And yeah, killing the protagonist is old hat, but then so is leaving the protagonist alive.
