Why do people want to keep playing as a child?
So I like Clem as much as everyone and it was definitely interesting playing as a child ( I think first time ever in a videogame)
But if Season 2 showed someting than it was that playing as an adult is much better
I mean I really miss kicking someone's ass with Lee or being one of the leaders and plan stuff with people not just fucking adults asking me stuff
that they should do themselves
If Kenny would have yelled at Lee or some other adult for that matter he would have fought back (like in Season 1)
and not just be like Depri ( seriously her voice and face is just so sad always its become depressing to me) Clem sry...
Its sad that so many fans want Clem to stay there is no potential left in her unless they do a huge time-skip but that can't happen
because of the comics
And for anyone who says The Walking Dead is Clementine thats just bullshit
Lee was the protagonist in Season 1 you played as him not Clementine, and Clementine was only the protagonist in Season 2

Lee disapproves.
Because you can "kick ass" in Resident Evil/Left 4 Dead/Dead Rising/Dead Island/Dead Space/Nazi Zombies. Or play the game based off the TV show.
This version of The Walking Dead is a drama, not a power fantasy. The whole tension comes from being a vulnerable person burdened by broken people. And I find that more enjoyable than another 'daddy simulator' as Season 1, the Bioshock sequels, and The Last of Us were.
Because Clementine, to me at least, is the very heart of The Walking Dead Game. She was Telltale's first idea and everything in both Season 1 and Season 2 is founded upon her. We've seen her go through a lot and watching her personality develop as she slowly loses her innocence is extremely interesting and makes the game fun. She's gone through a lot in this second season and people understandably want to see how it all affects her in yet another season.
But Clementine was in both seasons and Lee was only in first and Lee's ''job'' was to protect Clementine so The Walking Dead IS Clementine a little bit
That's my view
i miss LEE
I like playing as a child, because I think it's unique!
very few games (or maybe none) are able to create so many emotions with a child .... and Clem is just perfect!
yes, maybe someone (like you) might think that in the long run it becomes boring, and perhaps might even be right, but it will not be a child forever ...
maybe, you know, in the Season 3 Clem will be bigger, and then you will be able to make choices more "real", but then again I liked a lot the Season 2, and above all to have the opportunity to experience first hand the choices of a child!
However it is your opinion, and as such, I respect it
I agree with you
Well, the reason why I like playing as a child is the same reason I and most other gamer love and enjoy games. Because we can be someone we aren't in Real Life.
I am a 20 year old adult male, so I can never experience being a little, mostly defenseless little girl no one listens to because me being a child. But TWD Season 2 gives me the opportunity to feel how it is. As much as, say, Devil May cry gives me the opportunity to feel like a badass demon, or in Crusader Kings 2 to be a ruthless medieval Norse Viking.
Isn't that the reason most of us play Video Games? To be someone you can't be in Real Life?
next season you play as the baby....
Clem: So, what are you hungry for?
1) I only want to eat candy
2) It's Tuesday, so... spaghetti
3) I want what the dog is eating
4) -silence-
(regardless of choice, your response is just incoherent blabbering)
Clem: I hope you said beet mush, cause that's all we have. (hold out spoon of mush)
your important choice: Eat or Refuse
I don't want to play as a child. I think that has run its course, and we will see what fate happens to Clementine. We shall see what Telltale decides to do. If she makes it through season 2, then yeah i want to play as someone else. Why not Shel, or Russel, or Nate, or someone more interesting then Clementine. That being said it doesn't mean i want Clementine out of the game, i just don't want to control her throughts/feelings anymore.
The game feels really unemotional. Clementine doesn't care about anyone anymore, its apparent in the lack of tears she has for people. Its just getting to the point where none of the characters mean anything to me anymore, if any of them die at this point in the story i would feel nothing other than disappointment. She went from being about being nice, and helping others to Clementine 2.0, where she is now "sassy" , which in my mind is a complete 180 character change from the Clementine we knew in season 1, Clementine remaining as the protagonist in my opinion is a mistake. In season 3.
Some people play video-games expecting them to be power fantasies, and cry foul if the character doesn't represent their ideal alter-ego.
Chuke:cause we are.........lee:Clem's strong!...Clem is different than any child!
Why do people still want Nate? He was only in 400 days DLC and yet only in Russel's story and for a while he looks like a ''badas'' and nowyou want him as protagonist in Season 3? WTF?
And it's fine to try to be ''badass'' with Clem cause swearing and this things are normal with adult but with 11 years old girl it is different so think about it
Well i'm not going to get into this argument, but for a general reason , people think he is cool. They think he is funny, charismatic, and crazy. The best combination in a zombie Apocalypse.
I agree she is quite depressing to look at
and I don't want to play as this depri Clem anymore
People are just dying left and right and she shows basically no emotions
its bleak and a bit too bleak in my opinion
Some fans find him interesting as a character because he's unpredictable, scary and violent. He's one of the most memorable characters from the DLC.
But he's a horrible, horrible human being, and I think certain people IDENTIFY with him rather than just appreciate his role as antagonist. It seems like every villain will have misguided people who actually agree with them.
But Clem is almost the same with exception that she's younger then him and she appears in all (except DLC) episode of The Walking Dead and he is just in the DLC. +Read the second part of my first reply to your comment
But that doesn't change fact that Telltale can take her to Season 3
I agree, i love Clem and I really want her to live, but playing as her isn't as interesting as I thought it would be. A while back ago i made a thread suggesting in season 3 why not play as 2 characters? This way everyone is happy. Sometimes it switches to Clem, sometimes it switches to Kenny/Luke/Any Adult currently alive/ even a new character
I saw it already somewhere and it can be good idea,too
Well I want to play as Clem but In S3 I want a time skip so we can play at least a year older Clem.
their are plenty of games that cater to that fantasy, that does not mean all games need to be that though.
Clem and Lee are heroes, and I think the majority of people tend to gravitate towards the right thing rather than deliberately embrace evil.
But I wonder if some of the current hesitation and disbelief being thrown at Clementine's personality change is due to men's expectations of how girls should be. Clem was designed to be a virtual perfect daughter in order to appeal to paternal instincts, and now that we identify WITH her rather than with her protector the emotional response is of discomfort. Which is good, because Clem is not just some child to protect. She's a traumatized person who is struggling to learn what's right and wrong, and is constantly let down by the people she's expected to trust.
I think I actually feel even more strongly for her now than I did back in the original Season, which is quite a feat considering the haphazard quality of Season 2's writing. It seems only natural for Season 3 to show her physically maturing into young adulthood and work on rebuilding civilization.
Clem has been through so much in Season 1, which now seems to me logical that do not try "almost" anything ...
is a bit like Vernon said: "After a while the deaths of others does not make you effect"
i agree that playing as a young Clem has run its course but that does not mean we should stop playing as her it means we should in season3 get to experience playing as a older Clem. whether you like it or not she is the main character in this story.
That's because the poor writing didn't allow her to be interesting to play. I remember reading articles before the game came out where they promised playing as a child would make sense, instead of becoming a little Michonne she'll be more "resourceful, smart and use her environment" to deal with danger, instead we got a little girl who can kick doors down.
Because this child has more character development than anyone else and we want to continue her story. Simple.
and this mind set is the reason spec ops the line was created.
I guess points of view are different on this forum because I, for example, really enjoy playing as Clementine. At least as much as I enjoyed playing as Lee. I think that this character still have some potential and Telltale could used that in season 3 but I guess it's their decision, not ours who will be protagonist. Well... I think that they won't change main protagonist. I don't talk about possible DLCs because there we could play as ANYONE but... I don't think that Telltale will change protagonist for season 3. Not if Clementine will survive episode 5. Like I said earlier in other threads I noticed that for Telltale Clementine in game is like Rick in comics and TV Show. I mean, how important this character is. I think that Telltale will change main character only in one case - when Clementine die and I think it won't happen in season 2.
Good god don't remind me did you shoot yourself?
The fights that 11-year-old Clem has been in have relied on her speed, agility, good aiming and use of the environment. Notice that she never actually punches or beats a zombie, and that when using blunt force trauma she has to put her whole weight into the attack. She's a pretty convincing fighter.
Kicking down a door is still silly.
I agree with that I am 12 year old boy so I can at least feel how it is to be 11 years old girl in apocalypse. For example: How she stitched her arm in Episode 1. I couldn't done it. I would be happy if I would survive 1 zombie attack. And I can even imagine Clem as my girlfriend
So like it or not but this girl is brave as no one else (just a simile
)
My only problem with playing Clem is that it seems like by default our group is more stupid -_- I mean really no one bothered to open the ticket booth before or noticed the coat? Stop acting like an 11 year old is smarter than 2 adults please!
" Why do people want to keep playing as a child? "
Because...Clem!
well she isnt gonna be child forever
if they continue clems story will play as her when she is a teen/soon to be adult around 16 to 18 i persume
i would love to see her meet up with the alexandra and hilltop group
paul/jesus would be a cool character for clem to interact with
Most games you don't play as a kid, so it's a nice change of perspective; especially in a game that deals with mature themes. When you're in a post apocalyptic setting it really comes down to survival of the fittest and playing as someone young puts you at a disadvantage—which makes it so much more satisfying when you do kick ass or succeed at something! It puts you a bit on edge, too, as you care more about what happens to them. I think that's why I like Ellie's part in The Last Of Us so much.
If they just put an adult to the story and dump Clem's story then I don't think someone will buy it (maybe because he/she get interested in season 1 and 2 so he/she wants to try it)
Dude Wyatt and Eddie has Nate
I don't really agree with him but most good villains are relateable actually
I like to play as a child cause I'm pretty much a child myself,being only 4 years older than Clem. It just adds an immersive factor for me.
