You don't need to kill anyone
You don't need to kill every character in the game to make it compelling. Many great movies/books don't kill any (Or at least not all) characters that you like and it is still compelling. Seriously, every character I liked (Except for Clementine and Molly (I liked the other ones that survived too but I was never attached to them) ) died. Mark, Kenny, Carley, Lee, even ben.

I read the comic. I just feel like it wasn't really necessary to do this.
Well Kenny and his family make sense to me.
Doug/Carley seemed a bit random and not needed, at least not at that point.
Mark AND Larry dieing didn't seem right to me, should have only been one or the other IMO.
Chuck was really random, I mean I read and heard about why his death is quick and off-screen but come on, shouldn't have added him to begin with if he dies that fast.
Ben I guess made sense? But should have had him die saving someone or helping the group.
Lee I hated to see but had the feeling he'd die since episode 2.
Now if it turns out that Omid and Christa didn't make it out of the city I'll be pissed because that would be a huge waste of two good characters for no reason.
This is the walking dead, not any other movie or book. You should have known or at least expected going in that people were going to die, sometimes pointlessly, mistakes would be made in the heat of the moment, and you would experience extreme loss.
I mean, yeah, Telltale took it kind of far especially in episode 3 & 5, but I don't think it would have been as memorable if nobody died.
And I bet none of them were Zombie Apocalypse stories......
Now I'm interested. Do you have a link?
True, I think we'll get some fulfilling closure to their characters in season 2. Omid and Christa definitely weren't created just to be dropped at the end with no hint of their fates. Telltale loves their characters, even if they kill some of them off. I think we'll see a few familiar faces in season 2.
Considering how frequently survivors meet each other I'd say at least 25 to 35% of the population live, but that slowly decreases after the initial outbreak.
Errr no. When Rick was in Atlanta, still pretty early after the outbreak -considering...- there was like 10 survivors. Make another 10 or heck even 20, 30 or hell 40 who were hiding. thats 50 out of 5.5 million. Nowhere near 30%.
according to you there should have been 1.65 MILLIOn survivors in atlanta alone.
don't be ridiculous.
JakeSt123's statement that a third of the people is still alive however is more than laughable. this is clearly not the case in the walking dead universe.
it would mean that in the walking dead universe every major city still had millions of survivors, which clearly is false.
and the government advising people to gather usually happens far earlier to when shit really hits the fan.
It's simply unavoidable.
I don't but I believe Gary Whitta or someone else posted about it in the Questions for the Team thread, and also it was mentioned in one of the Playing Dead videos.
And why not - At end game lee and clementine skip off into a sunset and find themselfs outside a home and it smells like hot dish night then... lee goes in and chet and all the other fallen people are sitting at a table and then the next day everybody realised Duck wasnt bit he was just coming down with a cold AND the bullet missed - Katjaa - she was learning a new move for a her dog at home! ( play dead ) and carley AND doug get married.
Why not have BEN find the cure whilst your at it.
and lets have Larry alive and well and it secretly turns out he is gay and loves lee.
And the crew go to the swimming pool the next day!
EDIT: Then Beatrice and Irene were bulletproof!
When everyone we ever met on our travels sits down to eat - there is a knock on the door, Its lilly and a few zombies too! they all sit down and eat and lee gives the zombies a cinderella doll!
then the zombies stand up and leave and lilly sees her dad after the zombies leave and its a typical running to eachover in a sunset field and hugging scene! Then lilly says '' i love you, Dad. ''
Larry then replies - I know, i have charm coming out of my ass!
then The St.Johns and maybelle AND maybelles baby laugh until the neighbours - Jolene and danelle complain!
Are you high?
The walking dead : glee
xD.
I think some people would disagree with that.
Primarily the entire cast of Season 1.
Except Omid and Chritsta
Well, what was the reason?

Around 12:15 they talk about killing Chuck.
If the player has become attached to the characters (read: Lee, Kenny, or Ben as probably the biggest examples of this), then it's a good way to make the player feel emotionally lost or hurt, bringing them into the world of The Walking Dead by making them vulnerable.
Killing characters for no reason, though, is just lazy, especially if you do it clumsily and without establishing a connection with the player. Chuck is probably the most egregious example of this. He's introduced as a kind of emotional cornerstone for the player to lean on after losing Carly/Doug and Lilly, but his impact isn't great enough for his death to be felt. Especially given that it's off-screen and pretty much ignored.
All in all, deaths were handled well in this game. It's a sad story, yes, but it's a good sad story.
Thanks!
Because I said I wanted to have Lee survive and thats it...
That was such a smart response and so well constructed, the arguments were great!
Yup, When the zombies came down to eat ( stated on my other post ) Lee and Carley got bit :O but need not worry because the hot dish made by chet was bite proof and the smell cured all the zombies at the table too! because there IS a cure for the zombies.
HOT DISH NIGHT CONFIRMED FOR SEASON2!!!
lol
I'm happy with our list of survivors.
I have read the entire comic book series. Oh that's what actually happens? Funny because there has never been a zombie apocalypse.
