I am so mentally exhausted after EP4 (Spoilers)
I have managed to stay away from the trailer, so I didn't know anything that is going to happen in episode 4. And I gotta say, this episode really pushed my morality to the limit. I have made so many harsh decision such as abandoning Sarah, stealing medicine and killing a zombified Rebecca that caused a shoot out. After I finished this episode, I never felt so exhausted.
What is your guys' opinion about this episode? Was it good? Because, in my opinion, it was the best episode of Season 2 so far.

It reminded me of the good old Season 1; 100 minutes of lenght, exploring, dialogues, etc.
Choices could have been more impactful and I really wanted to see either Christa or Eddie, but, you know...
After my desperate struggle to save Sarah my mind was already slightly tired, then I had to choose whether to take the medicine or not and after a few long minutes I finally made the doubtful decision to take them. My doubts were confirmed when I saw Arvo walk up to the group in the distance. That's when I shot Rebecca, that's when I instantly realized that I had just doomed the entire group at the cost of one basically... Useless infant. Regretting the decision, the names of the people I had indirectly murdered began flashing through my mind and I just kind of sat there, crying. Weeping at the possible loss of all those people.
I feel like crap.
I feel numb. Too much death, too much cynicism. But that's The Walking Dead for you, I guess.
At the end i just kind of laid on my bed; lifeless. Rebecca.... Sarah.... no.. ;(
Yeah me too, this episode was so stressful!
I shot Rebecca, then screen cut to black and BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM!
At that moment I realized I fucked up.
Also, Sarah [*].
At least she's with Carlos now
Bit annoyed with the banners but it is easily my favourite episode of Season Two. Probably my favourite Fourth Episode Telltale has ever made in one of their games.
Let's hope the final episode isn't a long wait, with them only working on one ongoing project again though I'm going to be cautiously optimistic.
Exhausted? Nah man, I'm craving more! That cliffhanger is just holy shit.
Same here man. This is how the game should be. It doesn't hold our hand, it forces us to make very quick tough decisions on the spot. In the end, we have to make the choice that we feel is right and less wrong mortality wise. This is why the walking dead is so amazing. The TWD universe is horrible and no one is safe, this episode really showed us how brutal the universe is.
The baby is not useless. It's the future of humanity. Without the huge risk of bearing children, humans will go extinct. That baby is more important than anyone in the group, in my opinion. Unfortunately, it will be burden for awhile, but a worthwhile burden. Also, I didn't steal the meds JUST for the baby. I wanted to help Kenny so his eye doesn't get infected and Luke, so his ribs don't hurt him so badly.
You abandoned Sarah? Wow, you must be a horrible human being.
I shot Rebecca without a second thought.
I guess Carver was right in the end... and I couldn't hate that fact any more than I do now.
How could anyone leave Sarah, to be honest? Well, except her haters are people who finds her too annoying...
It was hard for me to slap her.
Good point, I guess the baby isn't completely useless. Still though, with the small odds of survival it has, I'm not sure if that baby is the most worthwhile decision in short term, which I think is what matters most in a survival situation.
I was screaming internally after some of those choices. DAMN. It was well done.
No. I did care for Sarah but I told her she had to be an adult, she didn't want to so I let her make the choice. If she wanted to die she could stay but if she wanted to be smart and grow up like Clem, she could stand up.
I bet you enjoyed seeing people get killed.
Nick.
This episode...
me too, my mind is spinning right now, episode 5 is gonna be fucking crazy
In TWD only the strong survive. You know she is a walking tombstone. It's survival of the fittest.
I'm exhausted too what an episode...
I was really immersed into the moment. During the heat of the moment, you do what your instincts tell you. Let's just say that survivor instinct and survival of the fittest mentality kicked in.
I still feel honestly terrible for the choice I made.
I remember starting episode 1 with a bit of hope, after Omid...that look on Christa's face just made me feel so alone shaping so much of what I did in episode 1 and 2. After finally letting all these people in, after trying to keep the group together I now I feel more alone than ever. Kenny's right, being beaten to near death it almost felt peaceful, for a moment I wanted them to mow down everyone and just let it end. Then I sat back and felt overwhelmed, what a way to realise that we are the walking dead.
Best episode yet, it was awesome
Kenny's speech about near death and peace really hit me. He was really questioning the meaning of surviving in a such hopeless world where death seems like the only release.
The worst part is that I promised Pete I would keep Nick safe and look after him... I have failed you Pete
R.I.P NICK (please write R.I.P NICK to show your respect... It means a lot)
R.I.P NICK ;(
Yeah the morality in this episode was just... Whoah...
I struggled so hard to know if I should take the meds or not and I finally took them knowing that it would bite me in the ass later. I tried my best to look out for Sarah but she isn't even determinant... And shooting Rebecca! Oh man, that was so hard to choose, I didn't to shoot her because the other would take that for the beginning of a fight so I called for help... And when I saw that Kenny looked away because of me during the gunfight, I immediatly thought I just doomed him.
What an episode.
Thank you so much DaveTheArakin for showing your respect.
Nick was among my favorite characters of season 2. I liked him for his flaws and his good heart.
Yes in general it was a very good episode and made me remember the good old days of Season 1.
I thought to myself while playing it "that's exactly the kind of gameplay I expected to have during the whole season 2 not just this episode, but I'm glad it's later than never"
As for the choices? Man... Seriously none of them matter now. Like - at all. They don't even try to make you think you had the option of doing something different because you can just plainly see it 5 seconds later. All I do now is play as a super nice Clem because knowing that none of my choices matter I'm better off being kind to people
Yeah but at least I don't read "Your story is tailored..." before every episode so I've got that going for me which is nice.
Nick was loved by many and worshiped by the telltale community as a God.
what if womans go extinct........
Exactly my choices. The ep was ok. Kenny's part felt redundant to me, thank god, there were no "help Kenny finish Saritha" choice. And that moment about noone knowing how babies are delivered and Guru Kenny tells «You need water and blankets!» – You don't say!
P.S. Sided with Kenny all the time, he's the only one i feel attachment to (Well, maby Jane was very useful and e.t.c., but she's not a team player and while it seems that Kenny worries only about team Kenny, at least he stays with it till the very end).
I know it doesn't sound much, but when I make my choices during the episodes, I make choices that matters to me. I don't really care if it effects the story or not, because it is my choices. When you see it in that way, it matters to you personally.
I'm an emotional wreck after this episode!!
Yes I understand and you speak words of wisdom here but I've played too much Black & White and Fable instead of Witcher to keep that in mind
Also brofist because of your avatar

Then the entire human race goes extinct.
Wait, it's the apocalypse. It is already dying out.
P.S: By the way, if you want to mention more than one woman, it's "women", not "womans".
