Just replayed Season One in its entirety
And just like the first time, I couldn't hold back the tears at the end. I forgot how hard some of those decisions were to make. Such a good damn game. No wonder it won GOTY.
With that said, I think what season two is lacking are these tough decisions that make you think critically. The toughest decision so far, in my opinion, has been choosing who to sit with at the dinner table. I'm just not having to think as much when it comes to the choices Clem has. Anyone agree?
P.S. I think this will all change with the next episode. Looks pretty intense. Can't wait!

Agreed. I'm sure some of the choices will finally start to matter in the next episode.
True, it's felt like most of the decisions I've had to make as Clem, except the dinner table, felt pretty one sided to me. Emotionally weighty, yes, but right and wrong has felt pretty clear for most of them.
Then again, looking back on the decisions for episodes 1 & 2 of the first season, I can say I feel similar about the decisions in those episodes. Many were also emotionally weighty to be sure, and some were very gray, but the decisions in episode 3 really picked up in gray areas for me. Really made me uncertain.
If the trailer for episode 3 is anything to go by, I'm sure this will hold true. Seems like lots of fertile ground for opposing loyalty based decisions.
Meh. I played it nine times. I'm completely numb to everything at this point.
I always try to play it again but cant get past the pharmacy when Lee and Clem are alone in that room talking. Too many feels just seeing them together.
Intrigue, trust, action and death. It's impossible to fuck this one up!
I am about to go back and replay S1, too, as soon as this damn week's over. I do this so that I can eventually replay A House Divided with both hindsight on S1 and spaced out so that it can last me long enough for In Harm's Way or at the very least A Crooked Mile without feeling all burnt out on S2.
My feels aren't ready to play Season One again (For about the 7th time), even tho I know the outcomes I cry every time.
Well actually, most of the stats in Episode 2 of Season 2 were 50/50 if I remember. And I was in the minority for them all. I actually did have a tough time deciding on most parts of it, especially on deciding if Nick was a good guy or not.
I replayed it about a couple of days ago. I never get tired of it. And I still cry at the end of it. I wont ever forget Lee and Clem's relationship.
I have finished season 1 3 time in the last month and each time the waterworks start lol. Anyway Im still enjoying season so far even without the heavy decisions.
I gotta hand it to Telltale, TWD is probably the only franchise in any form of media that made me reach for the tissues. The only other things that came close were Toy Story 3 (I saw it right before college) and the end of Project Overlord in Mass Effect 2. I cried on my first playthrough and cried even more on the second time when I had Clem leave Lee to become a walker.
I agree that the choices haven't been quite as hard this season. Nick vs. Pete was really a matter of preference, though the decision to surrender or find Kenny was a bit tougher. I have a feeling that Rebecca is going to hate my edgier anti-hero Clem for indirectly causing Alvin's death. Dinner table was still the hardest, though.
I do agree with you. I have really enjoyed the second so far as well, as much as the first season. I just think if the decisions get tougher, some people will stop bitching about it not being as good as S1.
I remember playing through it for a 3rd time and I cried at the end even harder than before. How is that even possible?!
Telltale giving me the feels man. It's contagious.
