Well then you missed the point. If you don`t see how a story can be interesting and engaging if it is set in one place, then you did not read enough books / watched enough films / played enough games. It does not have to be all action, it will rely on interesting characters, dilemmas etc. And again, if you are going in with the thoughts of how boring it is, how it already (lol) feels rushed to you, then probably should not play at all.
What I infer from this trailer is that Marlon made a deal with one or all of the adults in question and is keeping it from the kids, hence why he seems to come unglued by the end of the trailer. As to why? We obviously don't know yet.
Let the episode play out first. There are trailers that tell too much, trailers that tell a fair amount and other trailers that are purposef… moreully ambiguous, and this is obviously that one. It also appears to be an episode primarily about the kids' survival and life in the school an the focus is heavy on Marlon and his responsibilities.

As to why? We obviously don't know yet. Is that a bad thing? It doesn't have to be. Like you, I've sadly been spoiled recently. But let's have the episode play out first.
Going into a Telltale game saying you're "expected" to care about these characters doesn't help you in the slightest way feel any better about them. I could say in the same way that you were "expected" to care for Clem when the Launch trailer for … [view original content]
Why did this trailer felt like Clem is gonna die? I mean this trailer felt like that and idk why I feel like that while watching the trailer… more. Even on the Telltale YouTube channel? Where Telltale literally said "The Beginning Of The End". Like WTF?
Maybe this is just me saying his but I wouldn't be surprised if we get a option of either doing what we did with Lee. Where Clem or us decide how Lee died. Like leave him along or just shoot him.
Just let the dude play the first episode and decide for himself damn pfft. There's nothing wrong going in skeptical as it could lead into being delightfully surprised, and if does disappoint aw well.
Well then you missed the point. If you don`t see how a story can be interesting and engaging if it is set in one place, then you did not rea… mored enough books / watched enough films / played enough games. It does not have to be all action, it will rely on interesting characters, dilemmas etc. And again, if you are going in with the thoughts of how boring it is, how it already (lol) feels rushed to you, then probably should not play at all.
Not at all missing the point. Im not saying it being set in once place means its bad, Im sure the boarding school will still be in the future episodes, but I can already tell its going to be under some type of lines of "We need to get it back" even though we personally just got to know the place.
The problem is, considering the little we do know of what to happen and you saying its all in one place would work well, is not true. How does this story go in your head? Every episode is just the kids in the school fighting the adults off? Do the adults invalid the school and now every episode is the kids wanting it back? Do they come to an understanding and work together but still dont trust each other so every episode is just them going "I dont trust them adults!"
For what we already know, keeping it in once place just wont work, it would feel repetitive as hell. They are going to have to move the story farther from just the school vs adults.

For a second there I was confused and thought there may be actual swears that I don't know and got really excited to learn some new curse words, then I figured out what gendered swears is probably referring to and I already know those.

No, you are definitely missing the point. So okay, did you watch The Hateful Eight? Reservoir Dogs? Did you find it boring? These stories are told in one place and are pretty engaging to me. The enclosed school will create an amazing atmosphere for these characters. In this first episode being among these children, having a dinner with them, playing the piano for the first time, going on a hunt with them, teaching AJ some stuff, showing him remains of art from the old world will create this "home atmosphere " for Clementine. Then they are threatened by the adults from outside. They still don`t leave the place, but there is a looming threat out there. Dynamic change, tensions can arise, but something can calm them down, new hopes, new fears. It is not just the school, i mean. Characters will have supply runs, they will probably try to sneak into the camp of the adults, find new locations. But the main one will be the school, fortifying it, decorating it, creating a home. That is an interesting and engaging story, the one we did not have before (with one place as a main location) and i would take that over ANF any day.
All above is just my opinion, not based on the leaks.

Fun fact: Hateful Eight and Reservoir dogs are movies. They are about 2 hours long. Also in those stories are set over just 1 day total. Also like I was clearly saying before, Walking Dead has an external threat, not an internal like those movies you said. This is a video game with multiple parts that overall will probably be around 8 hours long. This game is also about choices and consequences. There is only so much that can happen in one area in a game where your choices are suppose to change things. If you really think 8 hours of the same place will work out fine, I dont know what to tell you.

It will work out fine, the examples I mentioned are just more common, they are known better. It is entirely possible to have an 8 hour story within the same place, and what makes you think that the only threat they`ll have is external? The Walking Dead taught you nothing? Maybe something about people acting irrational under tough circumstances (especially in an enclosed space)? People betraying their own? You really lack the imagination when it comes to predictions. Also you conveniently left out the rest of my message describing to you how this kind of story can work and be interesting and engaging. If you just want to hate, we should stop here, if you have no more arguments except "I dont know what to tell you".
Also the majority of the first episode is going to be : The 15-30 minute part from the demo, Clem and AJ arrive at the school, get used to it, bond with other kids (dinner scene, Marlon scene, Louis scene, Violet and Tenn scene), go on a hunt, get back to school and get attacked by the bad guys it seems. It does not take place in one location only and is is heavily relying on character development, something ANF seriously lacked. So yeah, so far so good, and I believe Telltale will keep up.

Oh and also, fun fact: Telltale usually makes their episode 2 hours long(funny, just as much as you mentioned in your fun fact, I wonder if that is just a coincidence). You sure you can handle 2 hours of boring in one location lol (sarcasm intensifies)

But I fucking hope so if the episodes will be near enough 2 - 2.5 hours long. Knowing me i'll make my finger slip, make a terrible choice near the end and then need to reply the entire episode again.
I haven't seen anything about that.

Im aware its not in one location, which is why I was telling you how it wouldnt work based on what we already knew. We know they go other places, which is why I was arguing the boarding school probably wont end up being our like "home base" the whole season. And no, Im sure there will be some kind of "internal struggle" that isnt well developed, thats kinda become a Walking Dead staple at this point.
At this point I want to just post both our predictions in a bullet list of what happens in episode 1, and then when it releases we can compare and see who was more accurate, then I guess whoever ended up more accurate wins and can boast I guess lmao
Wanna do that? just hit me up with those predictions for what happens in the story/plot of episode 1 and then Ill reply with mine?

Well the way you presented it seemed to me like you were complaining that the entire season would take place just within these walls and that would be boring, or otherwise they would have to leave it behind because it gets taken by other people (I don`t think either of these things happen). I doubt I want to have a childish competition. Why we just dont wait for the episode and then see if you were bored with it, like you think you can be? I see no point in making predictions on episode 1 since most of it was already leaked tbh.

No... I really wasnt, quite the opposite, you were the one who brought up being at the boarding school the whole season with minimal conflict, and I was saying how that wouldnt work at all. Again, I was saying how it would be boring if it was your whole idea with the whole "every episode no real conflict happens." It would be boring if every episode is just the adults vs the kids but in the end neither party gets anywhere and then they just go back to the places they came from aka the school. I dont think its going to go down like that all which is why I kept saying the school is 100% going to fall/taken over/adults beat the kids or get the upperhand in the first episode.

No I am for the entire season being set in the school, but the way I described earlier, with runs outside, etc. I never said about there being no conflicts, there always will be a conflict, outside or within the walls. The school does not have to fall for that to happen, I dont think the school will fall, I believe that would be their final "destination" the game will end there with them finally finding and securing their home (so far Clementine was always driven out of potential homes by force or when she left Richmond to find AJ ).

So Telltalegames acknowledged the leaks on their Tumblr. They thought it was unfortunate and were just telling people to be nice and not to spoil it for others and essentially it's to be expected that people would find them.
I don't know how others interpret that, but i'm pretty confident that they aren't going to rewrite anything in the season, so I wouldn't worry if anyone is concerned regarding that.

This was a great shot and Telltale knew it. Possibly their most detailed shot in the episode.
Well then you missed the point.

I left the decision up to Clementine in one of my playthroughs and she walked out on me.
Did she learn nothing from me shooting Duck?
Maybe she left him because she was so attached to Lee that she couldn't physically do it?

So how about following through with his promise to fix EU prices (that he said would be fixed in early july)...?

Might be true, then.
I never saw it when I was datamining. But it's possible given everything else they are adding into the game.
The trailer was very good. There aren't that much story details in the trailer. It's only a trailer to increase your hype level
Apologies. Didn't mean "bitch" as a derogatory gendered insult. I call my Brother it. But I won't use it again on here.
Yeah you don't see anything crazy. AJ gets a high five and the leader guy is cool until he comes unhinged. That's pretty much it.
A little early in episode 1 to become unhinged, don't you think? Just kidding. Can't wait to see how this pans out!!!!

I honestly scrolled my instagram and found the leaks without a warning so now I’m trying to forget I saw it :’)) it isn’t working bro
Any advice for how to stay hyped/not disappointed over having part of the game spoiled for me?
Apologies for the late reply, I watched it and felt it was really good and I enjoyed it. Why are you not impressed may I ask?
