was anybody else depressed after this death?

edited December 2013 in The Walking Dead

Was anybody else besides me depressed after killing Sam and then him attacking you for the food? Like I could get over the death of human characters in the game but Sam got to me emotionally

  • Didn't bother me at all. Dogs that bite people get put down. Sam was probably a good dog once but the ZA turned him bad.

  • The dog wouldn't ran off. He was fighting with a 11-years-old girl. Clementine was luck that the dog was fallen onto spikes. Probably it saved her life.

    It was horrible, the death was kind of unnecessary, he could've just run off or something, not fallen onto spikes and had to be mercy-killed.

  • The visual was more disturbing than the notion of killing the (aggressive) dog.

  • It was very unexpected, so I have to give Telltale some credit.
    Wasn't it cute how Clem was teaching him survival tips and sounding a lot like Lee teaching her? It's terrible what happened, but the dog was viciously attacking her, apparently I didn't react fast enough, it rips out her fucking throat! Super depressing all around, but at least with it dead Clem was not in immediate danger anymore.

  • Seeing him lying on the spikes was really disturbing, but i felt leaving him there was even worse so i had to kill him, and whilst i wouldn't say i was depressed i was certainly shocked.

  • I've got a dog of my own. I was upset that it attacked Clem, but I couldn't help but pity it. It doesn't have free will in the same sense people do. He was probably an awesome pet at one point. Putting him down was depressing though.

  • I liked the scene, really showed the difference between playing as an adult male and a young female. Take Lee for example, he would have kept a grip on the can and the dog never would have attacked but once Clem dropped the food, in the dogs mind it became his and he wasn't going to let her take it away, where as if the can never hit the ground and Clem had the strength to push the dog back and throw some beans on the ground, nothing would have happened.

    I'm hoping for more in the next few episodes, I don't ever want to be treated special because the character I'm playing is a little girl.

    I have a dog too, and what affected me more than anything was the gore of the dog on the spikes, rather than the concept of killing it. It bothered me a little bit that Clem had to be the one to do the killing, though. I think that's when the story becomes the most effective, when you're looking at it through Clem's eyes.

    This episode in general had a very unrelenting, unforgiving tone. It evoked a sense of very mild depression, but most of the episodes did.
