400 days - accident in the corn filed was to hard

I know, the TV series got harder (Lori in the prison) and the comic too (the use of "Lucille" in paperback 17). Too hard in my eyes. It was perfect before, but both TV show and comic have added a kind of hardness I think is not necessary.

The episode in the cornfield is just too hard. Nothing like that was seen before in the game I just want to vote: please don't add more of this to the new episodes. The games does not get better showing off mutilation.

Thx.

    I think the scene where you bash in the head of Dee and then talk to here while she is dying is just too hard.

    I think this game should have a slightly darker tone, especially with violence. That sounds like quite a weird thing to say but this is meant to be in the same universe as the comics so it should be more like that in terms of gore. Obviously not that extreme level (thinking of the Lucille bat) but like what happened in Bonnie's story.

    This game is definitely standing on its own and isn't so much associated with the comics (although it is still the same world) so it's not necessary, but it would make it feel more 'Walking Deadish' like the comic and to a lesser extent the TV show. All other things the game does (even the music) fits in with the comics style and it's not like they have to make it really gory I just don't think they should tone it down at all.

    I think it worked in Bonnie's episode because it made what she did eve more shocking as well, I felt uneasy just talking to her and saying sorry when her face was like that.

    When you say hard, do you mean gory? I hope so because thats what I assumed in my post above lol.

    I guess i understand that but.. the walking dead is an adult game with adult content. if the violence really bothers you perhaps the series isn't for you,; understand I dont want to see gore but the game wouldn't have the same impact if everyone just brushed off anything that happened. The aim is to be realistic (in a zombie world at least) and in this world people get real injuries.

    Also was the corn field with Dee really the worse gore? i felt shooting off the prisoners foot, hacking off davids leg or anyone getting eaten by walkers was much more grim.

    Her face was really screwed up, but for violence you can not be Lee cutting his own arm off with no one around, I could not watch him do it with Christa Omid Kenny and Ben there, with no one I am surprised I did not throw up, and that saying something from a guy who thinks the TV show is not as gory as the comic or game.

    Yeah things like Brie's death, killing Clementine's babysitter and Lee's brothers death also come to mind. I guess it was a bit shocking at first to see Dee's face like that but it is a bit more realistic.

    Not to mention the Walkers and how they look.

    For me it's not about the gore or violence. Gore is something, that does not touch me that much. It's more the psychological thing. To hear this women talking really confused, brain smashed in, eye hanging out...a clear reference to the Lucille scene in Paperback 17 (I dont want to spoiler that). And very hard to take.

    Don't worry, I get what you mean. But yeah it is quite uncomfortable to watch, I think it helps the narrative though in the end.
  • edited July 2013
    the visual shock factor was why that scene had the impact it did, having to look at her face (and what you had done) while she talked was heavy
  • edited July 2013
    That just means its effective. If it is making you feel uncomfortable and upset, it's my opinion that Telltale are doing theirnjob correctly.

    (That scene made me cry by the way. Not the gore, just the hate that was coming out of Dee's mouth)

    What makes it harder is we really don't know of Bonnie was cheating with her husband or not. You can play it either way, hinting that they like each other or that they are just friends. My Bonnie was just a friend which made it even stranger to watch.

    If you made it so Bonnie was in love with Leland though I'm sure it would feel a lot different.

    I think instead of zombies biting people they could hug their victims, and instead of 'fuck', characters could say 'fudge'.

    "fudge me??? Fudge you motherfudger!!"

    what about larry meeting salt lick ?

    i wonder if ttg will have a walker with mask on and then pulling the mask off pulls off the face of the walker like they did in the tv show recently ;) that was epic nasty but still epic :D
  • edited July 2013
    When did they do that, I mean it was a few months ago but I saw the whole season, and the two before that so can you tell me when that happened.
  • edited July 2013
    It was hard to watch? This is the Walking Dead man if you can't handle it, don't play!! (No offense, but Walking Dead is supposed to be gorey and violent, it's more realistic)

    Have a great day!

    This.
    Walking Dead needs to darken with the consequences of being both a violent AND a non-violent person in the Apocalypse - there should be more decisions without a right choice.
    In my opinion...

    Lee bashing in a walker's head with a hammer
    Lee bashing he's brother's head with an axe 4 times
    Chopping David's leg off with the same axe 4 times again
    Choosing to help Larry only to get a clean view of he's head completely caved in
    Sawing Lee's arm off alone or even with the others

    I still think most of these were worse then seeing Dee's face and eye messed up from a good smack.

    True, but I can understand why someone may of have a more emotional pull towards Dee being beaten in. If nothing else because it was an accident and could catch a lot of people off guard and cause some folks to feel guilty about it. Which is what the whole scene was designed for. :p

    That eye was so fucked up that I had to replay bonnies story due to the fact that I missed the fact that at that point was dialouge options

    I guess i understand that but.. the walking dead is an adult game with adult content.

    To be an adult (40 years in my case) does not mean, to be able to see any kind of violence and torture without any problem, but to gain compassion over years. Most children have to learn compassion, so they have no problem with tearing out the wings of flys or whatever. At some point you (should) learn then to feel like the other being and so step back from doing harm as possible. Many do not learn this kind of feeling in modern times and like movies like Saw or Hostel, were violence and pain is shown in a most realistic way. These people lack an important part of adulthood in my opinion.

    1. Walkers do not exist, I have no emotional connection to a fantasy creature
    2. Lees brother did not feel pain or react at all like a living being. No problem.
    3. Harder to watch, but so badly acted that it did not sound as a realistic reaction
    4. Well, it was not a pretty sight, but there was too no pain or dying seen. In fact the character was already dead or comatose.
    5. I never played this one, did not see any good reason for


    So i think you did not get my point: gore I have no problem with. But realtisic reactions to pain are something compleey different for me. I just dont like to watch people suffer in pain in a realstic situation (which is, when walkers are involved, never the case).

    Was I the only one that just wanted to finish her quickly so she won't have to suffer through the pain even more?

    Also, that scene was nothing compared to...the end of episode five.

    Lee cutting off his own arm was the most grotesque thing in all of the game. Dave Fennoy's cries of pain just hit me so hard. I wonder what TT did to make him yelp in pain so much, or he's just a REALLY good voice actor
  • edited July 2013
    He really sounded like he was in pain, it hurts to even here that and to know he still dies makes it that much worse, I still love how Kenny chickens out of Christa and Omid come. By the way have you tried it with no one there, you won't believe me but it's even worse, since you have to look at the wound and the camera does turn away, that and it's slower.

    It would just absorb the blood making it stronger.

    I think she was in shock,she didn't sound much like she was in pain. Just asking how bad it is, I would haveBonnie say...uhhh....it's..okay... just walk it off.
  • edited July 2013
    her brain was damaged, so maybe the pain center/nerves were also damaged.

    and she will of been in shock too
