  • Kenny's been through a lot then Nick and Luke just basically said his plan wasn't good, he killed Larry because he knew what would happen, though i admit Kenny should of waited for him to die you would be scared in that situation and not take any chances.

    If he says you weren't always there for duck- then simply you may have been there for Duck alot but not all the time, in my playthrough he insisted on coming with me right away and gave me a bro speech.

    What about when he flipped out on Nick and Luke? That was uncalled for, too. Or the time he said that I was not always there for Duck, when I definitely was. I hit "Go fuck yourself" in half a second

  • My Kenny is love thread is still in people's minds even after being deleted? yey i feel special

    Really? Mostly everyone likes Kenny. I don't not like Kenny. After all... Kenny is love. Kenny is life.

    It's ok, the opinions of those people are based almost entirely on negative emotional responses and are therefore garbage.

    Way to generalise and insult loads of people dude. Kudos.

    More like 23% Kenny, 31% Luke, 39% Clem, and 7% Lee.

    Well I haven't known at least three people who dislike Kenny(I only know two) But I said mostly everyone likes him. Maybe like 2/3 of the community?

  • Their opinions are based on disliking his bad emotional responses and they are thus not valid?

    same here. that was my only liking of Kenny and came back who-knows-how, he couldn't lift the lead to the sewers un less he had a weapon to pull it off, unless he find a place to hide and stayed quiets till the zombies were gone, or he work out putting zombie blood you could let you appear as one of them, there is pretty much no logical way he could get out. It's magic.....that's how he got out, forget it! he only came back because there was enough Kenny fans out there saying "please bring him back", and low and behold he is in series 2.....oh geez.

    I'm kinda pissed that they brought him back. That scene where he sacrificed himself for Ben (or Christa) was really powerful and it really made me respect him more, buuuuuut then he reappears with a godlike beard and says I got lucky....

    You think someone being mean to you isn't a valid reason to dislike them?

    How can people possibly dislike Kenny? He's a loyal friend as long as you do every little thing he expects of you otherwise he'll have a hissyfit and nearly let zombies eat you.

  • Is it really biased, though, if he's done it once before? Like you said, he's already had one heroic "death" so it wouldn't be out of character for him to go out heroically again. That doesn't mean he WILL die heroically of course, but I don't see how that would make Telltale at all biased considering how much of an asshole they made him in both Seasons.

    That would be great if you're a Kenny fan, but what about the many others? For me I want his death to not at all be heroic. After all, he

  • I think Kenny killed Luke or left him for dead, honestly. If he did kill Luke, Clem will obviously think of him as a monster, because Clem and Luke have a little bit of a romance going on. But, like others have been saying, if Luke turns out to be a pedophile: "Yay!" for the Kenny fans, and "Nay!" for the Luke fans... :\

  • Sure I guess I see. But I don't have friends on here if that's what your saying (at least I don't think so). Just people who agree on the same things as I do. I could be totally wrong as I do not know how many people there are that dislike Kenny but in my about 4 months on this forum I haven't met many people who dislike him. If they're are they aren't saying anything like you said.

    I guess I can see your point.

  • Ah, but the shit is only stupid in your opinion, not theirs, and hence it is still a valid reason for them.

    Just as in real life, if I found a joke really funny but you found it to be really offensive and crude, it would not be intrinsically stupid for me to want to hear another of the same kind, but it would for you.

  • I don't see how people like him I really don't he doesn't have any empathetic. and the things he says he won't takes his own advice. the ideas you have you just kill them and says this is how we do things. gamers play games because they the ideas, enjoyment, music, action and number other things but the people who love Kenny must not have empathy I don't know how dose people can agree to those ideas sorry I just don't know how to.

    No, they were objectively stupid and actively harmful to your and the group's survival.

  • It would be in that they gave him two chances to redeem himself when one would suffice/. It would be like they're hitting us over the head with 'THIS PERSON IS A HERO. YOU SHOULD LIKE THIS PERSON.'

    Anyway, I doubt he will leave in any similar way to how he did in season 1.

  • I really don't know why people are even siding with Kenny in the first place... In the first season with Lee, Kenny is a complete asshole the whole time. I mean, COME THE FUCK ON guys! How could you pick Kenny as your favorite character when Lee was, then Kenny was being a n asshole the whole Season... What I'm saying is, if you liked Lee in the first game, how could you like Kenny now, as much of an asshole he was then. Just think about it, it doesn't make sense for your likings to turn to Kenny, the asshole, from Season 1...

    It's subjective as to whether that was smart but that could be considered helpful

    I don't really see how Kenny is only mean to you if you do 'stupid shit'.

    For example, in my playthrough he hit me for suggesting that we stop the train to sort out Duck.

    Or do you think that keeping duck alive on the train would have been beneficial for the group's survival?

    He was indeed trying to help, but that doesn't make him always right:

    Larry was alive, as seen by the fact that he starts to breathe if you press on his chest enough, but doesn't breathe if you don't.

  • Maybe I'm just a sucker for bookends, but I disagree. Especially with how far they've gone in making him easy to dislike this Season. Of course, we've only had a little time with him in Season 2 so maybe he'll be less of a dick in the next Episode, but as of right now it's like they want us to hate him.

    When you said 'I haven't known at least three people who dislike Kenny', I thought you meant in real life.

    Anyway, the number of likes people are receiving on this thread should show you that not everyone loves Kenny by any means.

  • the way season 1 was design you could side with Lilly or Kenny. If you did with Lilly everyone pretty much hates you and you are caught two sides and can't really take one with them. If you don't side with Kenny you get abuse from Kenny while stating that his way is the only right way to go about things and that Lee is a scaredy cat that doesn't have guts. so you have to pick one side. If you don't side with Kenny he doesn't help you with anything and you don't get any help from Lilly regardless. If you side with Kenny do everything he wants you to do, his ideas are horrible and you feel you turn into a monster for making bad choices.

  • If an elderly man with a history of heart problems has a heart attack, isn't breathing and has no access to medication, much less a hospital, the dude's dead. He might literally meet the qualifications for "dead" as far as we know concerning the infection.

    The group has absolutely no idea how long it takes for a corpse to become a walker or what the determinant factors are. When it happened to Mr. Parker/Travis it was near instantaneous.

    If you try to revive him, you're gambling with every life in that locked container.

    The only reason you'd do it is because you imagine yourself as the protagonist in a story and imagine you have plot armor that allows you to make risky "good" decisions. If you're not metagaming like this, however, it's incredibly fucking stupid.

  • I'm not sure they quite want us to hate him, they just want us to know that something isn't right.

    But you are correct, he is slightly less likable this season (although he has repeated his policy of antagonizing anyone who disagrees with him remotely).

    The trouble is, lots of his fans now do things such as hate Luke just because Kenny does, and they have adapted their like of him to fit the new Kenny instead of being objective.

  • So you're saying that CPR is impossible to be successful for the elderly?

    If you genuinely want to follow that thought train, then I shall email my sister, a doctor, and ask.

    And you're right, they don't have any idea.

    That is why I said he was trying to help. However, that does not mean he was correct in his assumption that LArry was dead.
