Ben didnt really prove himself in the end.
Which is a damn shame.
Yeah, he finally stood up to Kenny and told him what's up, which was good. But he was still a liability in the end. I really feel sorry for the poor kid, he couldnt do anything right and died a horrible death.
- got several people killed.
- Got bitched at all the time and treated like a kid.
- Never got to see his family.
- Had to live for a while with the guilt of indirectly killing Katjaa/Duck.
- Died in an alleyway surrounded by walkers with no one but the guy who hated his guts all this time by his side.
- Probably never got laid.
Such a sad story.

A real shame.
He got Kenny killed. As I expected.
Ben's killcount:
-Duck
-Katjaa
-Carley/Doug
-Chuck
-Brie
and if you didn't drop the idiot in episode 4
-Kenny
if you brought only ben with you, he will question if he should cut off lee's arm, then tells lee to do it himself. then he passes out when lee cuts his arm. lol.
"Life sucks and then you die."
So heartwarming.
Kenny decided to go off in a blaze of glory? Okay.
Lee is shot/passes out from the infection after a sad and heartfelt goodbye to Clem? Fine.
Ben dies because a railing was loose? Fuck no!
I would be fine if he ended up like Crista and Omid, having no idea what happened to him or where he went! At least then I could dream!
Not cool, man.
Actually, is it possible to not use your bullets in the fight scene before? If so, would the game recognize it later in the alley scene? I have some experimenting to do tomorrow...
the game would not advance unless you use up your bullets.
oh, and it was ben who told everyone that you don't have to get bit to become a walker.
Are you serious? Omg that's hilarious lmao. And also I was right that ben never got to truly redeem himself and pull his weight. That's just how TWD is.
Ah, nevermind on the ammo thing then. I thought I heard somewhere that you could technically save the bullets so I almost thought I was onto something there.
And I was thinking of after episode 4. Personally, I kind of like the way he went. Him not getting the chance to prove himself, but he definitely showed the resolution to, and didn't have another big screw up. (if anyone counts falling off the balcony after kennys weight made it come loose as a screwup...that's just mean)
Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that both sides can still feel that their philosophy on dropping/saving him is valid.
And yes, I know he's not a bad person.
Later Kenny asked me for if I had more bullets left, I gave him my gun and he fired two bullets. One definitely into Ben, and one I assume into himself.
Unless I spaced out during these scenes then I'm pretty sure that's what happened.
So Ben grabbing my gun, was a valuable act indeed...
Kenny - "Remember what Ben said, gotta destroy the brain...
Ben is by far the most dangerous person in this game.
Really? So say he didn't tell anyone about turning without being bitten. Would you rather have Larry becoming a walker in that room with Clem, Lee, Kenny and Lilly? The way I see it, he saved everyone in that room by saying that, even if in the end I tried to help Lilly anyways.
Instead, ben falls to his death, which causes Kenny to get killed. And thus saving absouley no one. And in my playthrough, he lost the boat to Vernon. So he was a useless character from the start, his antics in Episode 3 moved the plot along, but not in a good direction.
Post-Episode 5 Ben supporters "It's not about redemption, he apologized and was forgiven by Kenny, that's enough."
Sure, whatever.
To me, Kenny risking his life for Ben meant more than him risking his life for Christa. It would be easier for him to go to the aid of a pregnant woman he had no problems with. So that was more of a bonus to me.
That's a real stretch. If you do CPR fast enough, Larry comes back. I think the creators confirmed this. On top of that, heart attacks can take a while to kill depending on the person.
And even if Larry did came back, you don't think the Trio of Badasses (Lee, Lilly, and Kenny) could handle him?
His mouth just moves. TT never confirmed or denied Larry being alive, so we'll never know and it's up to each player to decide if he could be saved or not. And no they couldn't handle him! They might be badasses, but Lilly wouldn't help put down her zombified father, while Lee and Kenny don't even have any weapons. IF Larry was about to come back, Kenny saved everyone.
Yep,I think they confirmed it and you can clearly see him breathe just before Kenny kills him off.
Pretty sure they confirmed it, dude. Kenny didn't save anyone.
the untold story.
You can link everyone to every death, that's the problem with the whole "Ben killed everyone" line of thinking.
Take Lee for example, from the very beginning would the cop have crashed into that walker and died if Lee hadn't killed the senator and needed to be driven to the prison? and as a result would any of what happened afterwards have happened without Lee there to influence things?
They only confirmed that Larry moved, not that he was alive or had turned.
No, I meant that if Ben hadn't told them about turning no matter how you die, Larry would've turned without them expecting it to happen. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have been able to handle a guy his size without at least expecting him to turn.
And no, It wasn't confirmed that Larry is alive. They meant for that scene to be ambiguous, it would be pretty weird if they said "yup, Larry was alive.", and if you are indeed quick enough you'll realize his mouth moves but that's it, he doesn't open his eyes or anything.
