The Walking Dead Game Series is in trouble
**(WARNING IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED THROUGH EP.1 TO EP.4 OF WALKING DEAD SEASON 1 OR 2 DO NOT READ THIS PLEASE) **
I believe that alot of dramatic scenes and pulse pounding emotional scenes in The Walking Dead are just completely nonsensical,go against the characters's personalitites that TTG has worked so hard to build and have completely put The Walking Dead Game series,and Telltales budget, in jeopardy. I also believe that alot of fans of the Walking Dead Game series are extremely dissatisfied and extremely puzzled and angered at these choices TTG has made for Season 1.
And already in the first episode of season 2. I am not trying to say TTG is a bad company I believe they are an extremely talented group of developers, but things like Lily shooting Carley for no reason, Katjaa shooting herself (or if Duck killed her which doesn't make much sense because hes obviously not turned yet), a zombie grabbing Ben in that armory from the bell (which does not make any sense since the zombie wouldn't be smart enough to do that and how would it get up there to begin with?), and these next four things are COMPLETELY NONSENSICAL AND NEVER SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED, Molly leaving Lee and the other survivors to go out on her own in a suicide mission in a zombie infested town instead of surviving with others on the boat? THAT MAKES NO SENSE would'nt she increase her chance of survival by going WITH THEM? Next why do you play as Clementine in Season 2? It's kind of weird to play as an 11 year old girl in a zombie apocalypse.
And this next thing just outrages me, as much as everything else I've mentioned. Lee wakes up after he was sleeping on the couch to find Clementine is missing. He runs outside behind the house in the backyard to see her hat laying out in the alley. He jumps over the fence, picks up the hat and worries about Clementine. He hears a noise behind some trash and looks. After that a zombie jumps out at him. The zombie scratches and infects Lee. ALRIGHT WHY WOULD YOU KILL OFF YOUR MAIN CHARACTER? IT DOESN'T BUILD UP ANYTHING. IT SHOULD JUST BE ABOUT LEE AND CLEMENTINE'S SURVIVAL AND RELATIONSHIP ALONG WITH OTHER SURVIVORS. THAT MADE NO SENSE LEE COULD CARRY THE SERIES MORE.
AND TELLTALE GAMES WHY DO YOU ALWAYS SEEM TO KILL OFF OR COMPLETELY REMOVE ROMANCE INTERESTS ALL THE TIME IN YOUR GAMES. STOP DOING THAT PLEASE I ASK YOU WHY DID YOU KILL OFF CARLEY, HAVE LILY GO NUTS, AND THEN HAVE MOLLY RUN OFF AND MOST LIKELY KILL HERSELF BY DOING SO AND THEN KILL OFF LEE AND THEN HAVE YOU IN SEASON 2 PLAY AS CLEMENTINE?
PLEASE TELLTALE I KNOW FOR FACT THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE DID NOT LIKE THIS AND WOULD LIKE TO SEE A DLC WHERE THESE ISSUES ARE FIXED. Some have already even given up on The Walking Dead Game Series because of this please fix it. Oh yes and (DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED THE WOLF AMONG US EP.1) I HAVE NOTICED THAT YOU ARE TURNING THIS KILLING OFF ROMANCE INTERESTS IN YOUR GAMES A THING NOW PLEASE DON'T WHEN I SAW ALL OF LEE'S ROMANCE INTERESTS GET KILLED AND THEN HIM HIMSELF I FELT OUTRAGED, LIVID. ALSO BECAUSE IN WOLF AMONG US YOU KILLED OFF SNOW WHITE A LOVE INTEREST. PLEASE FIX THESE ISSUES. AND STOP KILLING OFF ROMANCES PLEASE. Oh yeah and I just edited this lol I was pretty pissed when I wrote this I might come off as weird sorry. Im not actually like that man. But don't be disrespectful. Also I'm just looking for more opinions on this. I'm not gonna argue with you over the internet. And if you actually talk to me you would'nt probably suspect I wrote something like this. But this just angered me a bit and left me puzzled along with others.
Comments
dude, paragraphs
If you have any questions or want to help me notify TellTaleGames about these serious issues in the game series that has me and many others who love this franchise worried and outraged about It's future and what has happened throughout the game. Just comment please I'd highly appreciate that. And if you can repost this thread or help get this message out to TellTaleGames and other gamers I'd appreciate that even more. I know people who've cried and have actually been emotionally hurt because of these issues in the game. And some have made youtube videos about them. Me and other gamers who have been worrying about this classic legendary franchise are just trying to save it by fixing these issues and maybe even getting a DLC that fixes them. Thanks
Sorry it was alot to type I'll fix it.
the "issues" are what make the game good
Obvious joke topic.
No man... It just doesn't make sense just think about it.
It's not actually
This isn't Mass Effect, love interests aren't one of the main facets of The Walking Dead.
The emotional turmoil that can result through what happens in the game is what makes it good.
"Why would you kill off your main character?! RAGE ONE O ONE ONE ONE" Because this is the walking dead, noone is immortal, save for Rick who Robert Kirkman has a boner over aparntley.
It's not The Clem and Lee show, everyone will die. It's just a question of when.
It just ruined the story for alot of people
sorry, it's actually why it won so many awards and why so many people like it, as well as the whole "choice and consequence" thing.
This guy has some serious messiah complex
erm.. if by ruin, you mean, it wasn't fair?
Let me tell you something Connor, life is not a fairytale and there are no happy endings!
Just like The Walking Dead.
Kirkman was going to kill off rick in issue 6! and he assured us that rick "Will die" before the 300 isuses are done.
Agreed. you really need to calm down. i could see this beeing a good post.....if the walking dead had not won 90 game of the year awards. its working man. while im not yet 100 into season 2 there doing a good job
They're pressing buttons... and certainly a lot of yours.
Calm down dude, reading you is like a screaming donkey would (if it could write).
People will still survive. Its a zombie story, true but killing off the main character is still kind of lame. And why would Molly just stay in a Zombie infested city to die instead of surviving on the boat with everyone else.
Did this
pop off in the middle of your post ?
nah not that it wasn't fair it just didn't make any sense where they were going with some of these scenes.
Pretty much because people tend to do what they think to know best. If that is surviving on your own, because it has kept you alive for the past months, it is just a logic move. Nothing too strange here...
And killing off your main character to make room for something new... ah... come on... think dear!
?
I was mad as hell when I wrote this lol Im not actually like this. And I don't talk like what I wrote in the paragraphs. I might've said some false things.
Yea it did actually
No worries! Screaming helps sometimes... even if it is just in words.
All I'm sayin is if Molly is really trying to survive she would stick with everyone else and get on the boat were they could get to somwhere safer is all I'm saying what she did just made no sense to me and others.
If the game was 100% or just tailored by how you play wouldn't you kinda think that you would have more of an option to stop some of these things from happening... not looking to argue just discuss. That's kinda what this is for right? I just want some more opinions on this.
What?
There is actually sense to all those "nonsensical" things you mentioned. You just have to play the game 20 more times to see them XD
Lily had snapped when she shot Carly. Looking back on it after the second playthrough where Lily targeted Doug more than Ben I realized Lily's judgement on Carly was possibly biased due to Lee getting closer with Carly. Jealousy does crazy things to people.
Katjaa killed herself because she didn't want to live without her son.
Molly left after seeing the big argument at Crawford between Kenny and Ben. Who would want to be stuck on a boat with those two after that? Kenny also revealed to the whole group at Crawford that the boat wasn't big enough for them all, so Molly did a really selfless thing. What's nonsensical about that?
I agree it's weird to play as Clementine, but for me it's good weird. Very hard to click that one button to stitch up her arm and that scene disturbed me so much I enjoyed it...if that makes sense.
Lee's death. Best video game scene ever. It was the first time something in a video game made me feel something other than "Oh that was cool." Also I think (not sure though) that Lee's death was supposed to be the end of Walking Dead period. But then the game did so well, fans cried for more and Telltale got slightly richer. As a result we got another season. The worst thing would be if they left Lee alive, left a cliffhanger at the end of season 1 then ran out of money to make season 2...so lucky us then.
In short Telltale has made one of the best games I have ever played and wouldn't want them to change a thing...unless it involved more episodes. Do that!
Actually your right on alot of things but TellTaleGames has made some of the greatest games I've ever played also. But thanks for tying up the Katjaa and Duck thing, makes more sense now. But I still think the Molly thing was a bit ridiculous so she would almost completely turn away hopes of survival on the boat just cus she heard Kenny and Ben? wouldn't she try to survive still? And Lee's death shouldn't of been the end of TWD series. Because I think they should of kept him alive because he's the main character and still teaching Clementine survival. Me and others just think that he should've survived. It would've made more sense to us and could be more interesting.
I don't know...that boat looked pretty small....Kenny: "I'LL KILL YOU!!!" Ben: "I'M SORRY!!!" Lee: "QUIT IT YOU TWO!!!" Kenny: "I'LL KILL YOU!!!" Ben: "I'M SORRY!!!" Lee: "QUIT IT YOU TWO!!!" Kenny: "I'LL KILL YOU!!!" Ben: "I'M SORRY!!!" Lee: "QUIT IT YOU TWO!!!" for days and days and days with no escape...I'd rather jump into a walker's arms...plus if Molly stayed she probably would have died which would have left no chance for her return...hopefully. Either that or she's a big softie at heart and didn't want anyone else in the group to go without a spot on the boat since she was the newbie.
As for the Lee thing...as Clementine said "Everyone needs to grow up sometime." And Lee's death forced her to grow up
I mostly saw it as her just thinking smart, she saw the errors and problems with the whole boat thing (Only limited number of people could get on, she woudn't want to risk being left out) We don't know she stayed in the city, she probably left, hence why she never found Clementine all on her own.
I wasn't aware of the issue 6 thing, damn, I'd of appreciated him more as a writer if he did that! but I was aware of the 300 issue thing.
I struggle to respect him as a person due to some of his comments "I'll never move the walking dead outside america and if you dont like that you can kiss my ass" and his disrepect to an ex artist of his or something?
If that's true then that shows how much he really doesn't care what consumers think.
Not really smart to completely jeopardize yourself in the POSSIBILITY that you might not get on the boat.
I mean... Fuck... Dude, there aren't many things wrong with season 1, and the few things that are, are not listed here.
Season 2 isn't so great, but again, not for these reasons. Having a fucked up world is exactly what Telltale wants, and most of the shit posted here is artistic design, and if an artist changes his art so some may like it more, then it isn't fucking art.
That was the first HUGE group of zombies she'd seen. It'd make sense that she wouldn't feel in too much danger if she left.
PLEASE STOP KILLING FEMALE CHARACTERS, I WANT TO HAVE PRETEND VIDEO GAME SEX WITH THEM.
Thank you.
It's an interactive story, but it's still a fucking story. Meaning it has themes, a general plot, and character development, evenif the last two change from game to game, it doesn't matter.
