Comments

  • All the episodes were good my favorites being episode 2 and 4. I'm glad Nick breckon is writing it episode 2 was arguably the best episode telltale ever wrote.

  • Why the fuck Luke is there?

  • Because he was actually written well back in Episode 1?

    Why the fuck Luke is there?

  • And two and three.

  • I agree with two, but three.... Heh no. He was written to become a Lilly 2.0 by that time for the sake of a conflict.

    And two and three.

  • I don't see how he was written badly. He saved the group. He wasn't anything like Lilly in that episode.

  • A House Divided was an amazing episode. My favorite in Season 2.

    All that Remains had alot of good moments, but felt weak at times.

    Hopefully Telltale can win me back for TWD S2 finale.

  • He wanted to leave Kenny behind, and before that he wanted to take the cautious route, like Lilly would've, and you have the same type of dynamic between them in Episode 4.

  • Just curious what did you think of episode 3 and 4.

    (Also I agree episode 2 was my favorite too well tied with episode 4.)

    I really have no idea what is being said here but YAY!

  • I have a feeling that they will make everyone happy during season finale... or miserable. Em... I hope it'll be awesome. :D I'm almost certain that with Nick Breckon we shouldn't be worried.

  • People are still going to be freaking out and saying they'll boycott Telltale and crap like that, I'm sure of it. Hopefully the forums will be a bit better after it releases, but I doubt it.

  • He only wanted to leave him behind because he didn't think their was much hope for him(he wasn't the only one in the group that wanted to leave him) and who wouldn't want to be somewhat cautious just look what happened when they left.( I do agree about the dynamic in ep.4 though.)

  • Well... it's their choice. I like season 2 so far and season 1 was the best so far. :) If someone will insult me because of what I think then I'll argue. In any other case I accept that other people have their own opinions about the game.

  • For me, both second and fourth were amazing and I can't decide which one is my favourite, so they're both at first place.

  • Nick Breckon wrote Episodes 1 and 2. He had amazing writing skills, and now he returns for Episode 5. (Episode 3 and 4 were written by other guys)

    Yeah, I just hate it when people freak out like this, sending hate mail and death threats, telling Telltale to fuck themselves... it's pretty ridiculous. I wish more people knew how to have an opinion without seriously freaking out at people who have the opposite mindset.

    EDIT: Like that MMA guy below :(

  • Thank God that lazy writers (like f**king writers of "Amid The Ruins") isn't write the season finale ("No Going Back").
    I hope that Clementine or Luke will mention Nick and remember him. I hope.

  • Same, Episodes 2 and 4 are my favorite of this season thus far =D

  • This is pretty much paradise for me. I love Nick Breckon, but not literally. He's amazing and I'm glad he returns.

  • nick breckon should have written the last 2 episodes, episode 1 and 2 were flawless.

  • Yeah, really, he should write every episode. Looking at Episode 4, he had amazing concept of it, but then another writers came and he needed to go onto buisiness with them.

  • Still not as bad as Bioware forums a few years back, lol. Yeah, people are overtly melodramatic I've come to notice. Those who "boycott" tend to buy the next product anyway or if they don't nobody notices and it affects zero of the production company.

    Nick Breckon is the lead writer of season 2 just as Sean Vanaman was the lead writer of season 1.

  • Eh, I was one of those people boycotting Bioware, since I was annoyed and disappointed by their poor PR performance and (IMO) crappy game. I never really said anything rude though, although I was ticked. Sort of overreacted I suppose, but the boycott was more to avoid purchasing another Bioware game only to be let down again, which is honestly what these people should just do if they're really this ticked at Telltale, rather than insulting them this much.

  • At least the "movement" with Mass Effect 3 promoted charity as a positive way to put forward their discontent. But I was there during the fallout and I was part of it, but I never thought I was going to boycott Bioware over a decision their game director and head writer made. I wasn't blaming the developer studio on a small game team that had nothing to do with non-ME games.

    But gamers at their worst are one of the most selfish and narcissistic people out there which has always been weird to me. I didn't like the decisions telltale made this most recent episode but I'm not holding it against them, I'm seeing where they go with it.

  • I'm so happy he's writing episode 5. For me personally episode one and two had the most memorable character moments throughout all of season two. Just through one on one conversations. He just keeps it simple. Having two characters just sitting down and having a conversation is a simple thing but a great thing. All I want Is to sit down for five to ten minutes and have another emotional'meaningful moment with Kenny or Luke again. Instead of debating and siding with which one is right. When all I want to say is stop fighting and bickering over every little thing. It get's tedious.

  • Yeah, I quite enjoyed episode 4. I guess I'm just different that way, since I really enjoyed episode 4 of season 1, even though apparently most people disliked that one a bit. Hopefully episode 5 is on par with season 1 though. Crosses fingers

  • Does any one know why he didn't write episodes 3 and 4? (Just curious)

  • I think I actually like Season 2 over Season 1, even with it's flaws and problems. Just feels more... interesting, I guess is a way to explain my feelings on it? It feels less predictable and a capocophny of ideas that oddly find themselves done well most of the time. But hey what do I know I liked S2E3.

    Not a clue. I think that's how Telltale works. Every game has lead writer and writers who help him or her. Sean Vanaman also didn't write some episodes from season 1. To be specific - episode 2 and 4.

  • It's not about whether it's my choice. It's about Kenny being a petulant child if you don't agree with him about everything.

    Disagree with Kenny about Lilly's dad? Kenny will actually sit back while Lee is struggling with Danny St. John, and Lee will have to wait for Lilly to finally come in to help him.

    Disagree with Kenny a few more times? He will literally say that he's not going to help Lee look for Clem because Lee didn't always have his back.

    So, even if he's helpful and friendly when you always agree with him, he's still a petulant child who only wants to help Clementine to the extent that Lee is useful to him.

    How much can Kenny possibly care about Clementine if Kenny is willing to let Lee get killed by Danny St. John over a simple disagreement?

    So, to me, it's not about what Kenny does in any particular situation, it's about how Kenny's concern for Clementine is almost entirely dependent on Lee's loyalty to him.

    As for Christa and Omid, they at least base their decision on current priorities, and not past disagreements. Christa and Omid have a gestating child to worry about, and to ensure has parents. It's actually quite a credit to them if they do go on a wild goose chase with Lee with that much at stake. Kenny, however, explicitly ties his decision on how much Lee has agreed with him.

    In season 2, perhaps Kenny was willing to take what he expected to be a mild beating at the hands of Carver on behalf of Clementine. Perhaps he had an ulterior motive, I don't know. But in season 1, he's not willing to risk his life to find Clementine, even without a family to protect, unless Lee "has his back" enough times.

    I'm just not going to be particularly fond of a guy that I have to agree with all the time in order to keep him happy with me.

    Maybe Luke wouldn't risk his life to go on a wild goose chase to find Clementine. But I could guarantee that Luke isn't the type of person to abandon someone to potential death when he could easily assist, just over a simple disagreement.

    So I'll take Luke over Kenny any day of the week.

    Who you can get to help look for Clem is up to you as a player. You could get everyone to come along if you're savvy enough. If not all of t

    ya i thougth episode 1 and 2 delivered and lived up the hype, episode 3? not so much, episode was almost flawless.

  • I wasn't really disagreeing with your choice. I've despised Kenny since the beginning; but when we hate things we become biased and say things that are wrong. I was simply pointing out that Kenny does help to look for Clem (depending on the player) so you should probably use a different example as to why he is a bad guy.

    It's not about whether it's my choice. It's about Kenny being a petulant child if you don't agree with him about everything. Disagree wit

  • I agree with this thread completely.

  • ALMOST flawles not flawless. There is difference. But it's your opinion though. I really like epiode 1 and 2. Episode 3 was also good but I think it was a bit rushed. Episode 4 was amazing and I can't wait for episode 5.

  • Should be the guy who wrote episode 4 because it was far and away the best ep.
