Why I liked S1 better than S2 (so far)
I must admit that so far I haven't enjoyed TWD S2 as much as I did with S1. In S1 I believed that my choices had a big impact. So after finishing S1 I realized that it had much less impact than I was imagining while playing. The good thing is that it gave me a very enjoyable time playing the game. But the downside is that I'm playing S2 knowing that my actions are only causing minor changes in the game. So I don't put as much feelings into it as I did in S1. Hope TT prove me wrong on my assumption ...

No idea what you are talking about; season one never had the amount of determent characters (if any) that season two had. Never has the game HAD more impact.
At the moment I also prefer the first season. But telltale have only released two episodes of the second season. We haven't really got to know the characters or that much of what is going on. I'm sure that , with more episodes, we'll see bigger consequences for our choices.
I'm sure S2 has more impact than S1, but in the end it's not a BIG impact.
Season 1 will always be better in our hearts because its what introduced us to this amazing series. Here is to hoping Season 2 does better.
looks like season 2 has bigger choices because you can lose 2 characters in episode 2 . But i still agree with you but because of another reason that there is less gameplay and story isnt as good altough its picking up. So i still like season 2 but like season 1 better
Story liked first better as with Lee when he found Clem she was the hope in a depressing and bleak zombie apocalypse and gave myself something to fight for. While in s2 feel hope is gone as Clem lost everything what she has live for. Only thing she fights for is happier tomorrow which will never happen and things just get worse very sad and depressing.
Hub Areas and puzzles love a challenge in a game and just going on a adventure I love freedom to look around and get used to the new area and appreciate it
Better character interaction love just chilling having look around just walking over to everyone having a little chat felt in more control of the story and listened and learned more when could just walk around and interact with people in hub areas loved it without any motives(linear missions) just look around and have break from the action to get more character depth.
But saying this love new season and can't wait for next episodes still a quality game.
I find S1 better ATM, but lack of consequence is not on the list of reasons for me. As @Ohyoupokedme said, as of what we've seen in A House Divided, our choices seem to have more impact than ever. Here's hoping that TT can really pull off what they're trying to do.
My gripes right now are the lack of character interaction outside the necessary amount for the sake of the plot. Because of the kind of introduction that was All That Remains, our "social" choices have not been as many as S1's (by "social choices" I mean the ones that change a certain character's perception of the PC), but the ones we do have seem to be rendered moot. I will say again that hormones or no, you can basically threat Rebecca and have her forget about that immediately next episode. She could have toned her attitude down, for sure, but in her shoes, I would not forget that threat.
I have mentioned that length is to a degree something I don't like that much this season, but there are ways to increase it easily. With a couple more scenes, A House Divided and All That Remains would have been vastly improved for me. They are focused as they are, and that's good, but some more time should be spent defining the characters, or to level the pace of the episode with some downtime.
Also, while the most important relationships for Clem seem to be Nick and Luke, I want them to expand on the little triangle that is Clem, Carlos and Sarah. Back on Ep1, I thought all the "Stay away from my daughter" would be an interesting dynamic to explore. Sarah is a much more naive Clem 2 years ago, and you can worsen your relationship with Carlos by telling her the hard stuff and teaching her how to defend herself. But this was glanced over this last Episode. I mean, the Carver scene is great, but couldn't they have had Clementine and Sarah talk a little more? Or talk more with Carlos about how he sees Clementine?
For the thousandth time, I also want hubs back. They broke the feeling of linearity and you could have some great character development and interactions there.
I hope that if by the end of S2 I find S1 better, it is not on the grounds of quality, but only because of nostalgia.
Ok, while S2 may be great and such and even if the rest of the episodes are going to be awesome, S1 will always be my favorite and beat any season, because of Lee and Clementine's relationship. To me, the scenes and bond of Lee and Clem are much more powerful than the badass Clem scenes.
Sorry, But I competely disagree with this. If Season 2 has something Season 1 didn't have is the importance of your choices, Hell, I feel like if The Meat Locker Scene would've happened this Season I actually had a chance to save Larry.
Imagine that... Larry in Savannah.
The fact is, dialogue choices don't matter as much as they did in S1. Judging from the first two episodes, of course.
You can be a bitch to Rebecca in E1 and in E2 she treats it like nothing's happened.
You can be sour towards Carlos in E1 and in E2 he trusts you to look over the house and Sarah.
Now in S1, you could choose who you agreed with at the motor inn, and the respective party would remember that for the course of at least one episode. And that was over switching between different writers over the first two episodes.
And in S2? Same writer for E1 and E2, yet dialogue choices don't matter to the degree that they did in S1. I'm not saying that they should, I'd just like there to be a little consequence for your dialogues.
Can you imagine Larry fighting through the horde of Zombies alongside Lee ? Badass level is over 9000 !!!
Yeah, I think Larry would immediately have a heart attack the moment he tries to punch a zombie and he would be eaten by the horde.
Agreed. There seem to be more story branches with more consequence, but the choices that you make verbally that can change how a character sees you are the ones which seem weaker this time.
I don't think so, Despite being a bit overweight Larry was a strong dude And looked pretty good for his age and all he had been through, According to Lilly. I'd like to think he would hang in there to save Clem.
He is talking about altering the outcome. Which he is completely right about for season one, and chances are is won't change for season two. But I could be wrong.
"Season 1 will always be better"
"hoping Season 2 does better"
Wait what?
Nostalgia, man. It's powerful like that.
"So after finishing S1 I realized that it had much less impact than I was imagining"
How are so many people confusing the point being made in this thread?
Either he is saying season two needs to do a better job (which I don't think he meant)
Or he is saying something that is paradoxical to the initial statement.
I just thought that was funny
lol fuck it
Oh the downvotes! They so hurt the validity of my post. ..
super sad face
Haha sorry Jon!
Don't worry about it.
Trippy
In the first instance the comparison is between season 1 and season 2. He's using the word "better" in the second instance in the more general sense where the betterness operates in a self-contained and discrete season 2 continuum, therefore referring to the earlier parts of season 2 and not season 1.
You fuck.
damn son.
There's the berating with an extensive language we talked about. Was the "You fuck," necessary? I thought you were the reasonable troll of the forum!
Paradoxical: self contradictory. If the first is the best, then the second cannot be better.
Even the poster admitted it was paradoxical.
Now devolve troll.
Sometimes you just need to believe in yourself and do your own thing, Jon.
It's ok Viva I gave you upvotes.
i do believe in myself thats why im not going to edit it what has been said has been said.
Well thanks lemoncakes!
Your dying dog would be proud of you.
You didn't understand my post.
No he wouldn't he'd be begging for death to an uncaring God, his mind erased by a deafening internal scream that never ends.
I guess I didn't. As I understood it you were saying what he said first referenced season 1 vs season 2 while the latter part of his post pertained to only season two, and the continuation of said season being better than the first 2 episodes. Which was covered in a post above this troll session in which I said "Either he is saying season two needs to do a better job (which I don't think he meant)," and he confirmed was not the case.
EDIT: Er, was the case I guess is the correct phrasing
What you said makes sense, don't let others get you down turn the frown upside down instead that's how to go through life man.
Correction, he wouldn't be praying to an uncaring God, simply a non existent one.
But I still think he would have a "good job Lemoncakes," cross his mind
I feel people may take these posts in a negative light. I'm done here
You were correct to add a disclaimer to your claim that the statement was internally inconsistent, confusing, and/or paradoxical in that it wasn't. Accepting this, the writer's intent is inconsequential as is any post-script or commentary by the author such as "lol fuck it" or image macros. The reader applies his own interpretation and life is richer and fuller for it.
I am glad you came around to my way of thinking.
Either way this whole "argument" is meaningless. We are on a forum lol this shit shouldn't even matter or get us upset.
No there's a God in TWD and Kirkman doesn't really give a shit have you seen his beard? I think he just got tired of shaving.
