The Dog Scene
I'm disgusted and appalled. How dare you ruin the game for me like that. I'm never buying another game from your company again. Ruined my whole damn evening. I hate you.

Why? Do you not like seeing animals get killed or something? I mean much worse things happen to animals on a day to day basis then what was portrayed in-game, I thought It was an intense and sad emotional experience that I didn't even see coming. I liked the dog a lot and was very sad when it died but that doesn't make me hate the game.
Don't be a big baby. Nearly your entire group dies in season one, seven people all together, yet you're worried about ONE dog?
Oh, I'm sorry, lets make The Walking Dead completely age appropriate. Let's make sure that nothing dies and everyone is happy, that is such a fun game mechanic! Yes, a completely harmless environment with no intensity whatsoever! In fact, lets replace those lurkers with kittens! Yes! The Walking Kittens! No swearing or naughty stuph either! How fun and emotional for a choice game!
You are sad about the dog dying (understandable), but you are more put off by that than all the dead people we see in this game? Pathetic, go back to PETA, I'm going to get me some chicken.
Animals are NOT innocent! They are savage, ruthless, and moral-less! They do whatever it takes to survive. Racoons and other small creatures dig into your food stash, causing you to starve. A bear mauls you because you are to close for comfort. A mountain lion murders you out of starvation and kills you. A dog bites you and gives you an infection for a can of beans. Animals are far from innocent; it is the worst you can be. When a domestic dog turns savage, is kill or be killed; I don't care anymore what it once was, it is now a savage.
What kind of sociopath likes to see animals getting killed? Because worse things happen to animals on a day to day basis is WHY I don't need to see it in the games I play.
Besides, it didnt make any sense whatsoever. It was a pet that was used to being fed. it played fetch and was docile around clem. Telltale just made the dog go beserk cause they dont have a clue how real life works and in the process ruined a perfectly good game.
I have no problems if a person dies in a game, chances are a person had it coming.
Animals are innocent (and children) which is why you don't do this sort of thing.
Peta kills animals, you're an idiot.
Do you work for PETA?
People Eating Tiny Animals?
Animals are innocent? Oh the ignorance! Please, stop playing the game and go live in the woods for awhile. Animals are not innocent, they are vicious, disgusting, horrible creatures. I have pets, and I like them, may even say I love them, but they are animals and are nothing more than animals. I will care more about what happens to an animal than a human when they have sentient thought. Until then, though, I want more chicken.
Whaaaaaaaaaaa? Even People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals don't care then, sounds about right.
Except when it's impaled on a spike an is suffering in pain.
Children and animals are innocent. Wtf? Wow let's base a whole game on one quick meaningless scene. Get over it. It's just a videogames dude. Get off here while your at it. People don't need or care about your negative comments. Bye now.
Your anger just means that TellTale done their job of invoking an emotional response extremely well.
This comment made me chuckle. Take my like.
I do, best job ever. :P
"You don't kill dogs" - Luke
Remember when that woman shot that teenage girl in the stomach with a rifle, though? That was pretty rad. Shame they had to ruin it with a scene of a little girl kicking away a dog that viciously attacked her and then mercifully putting it down when she saw that it was suffering.
Yea a negative one. One that cost them a customer. Good job.
The situation existed to show how much shit Clementine has gone through, and to show that even the most timid creature can break out in acts of violence and turn to savage ways to survive. This is a lesson to be learnt, not a moment to rant at.
I'm sure this is sarcasm but I agree.
Obviously she had to mercy kill it. The whole point is that the situation shouldnt have existed.
Telltale has lost the famous Vangallus as a customer! What will they do?
"You should totally let the dog kill you because you just don't kill dogs."
Hurry, take my like also!
This is totally a troll thread! Vangallus just joined today and started this only discussion! He/she is either a troll or a pissed off customer that joined this thread and created one about the scene expecting that we give a shit!
Unfortunately people are weird like that.
Some time ago some guy commented that he was deeply disturbed by the dog getting hit in the GTA V trailer over the thousands and possibly millions of death that will be in the game.
Yes it should have, it was the basis for why the people couldn't trust her to begin with. Null and void.
It cost them a customer? Doubt they care. Negative emotions, sadness, hopelessness, fear and others, are what drive the story.
I don't give a shit that you care about that scene: I am sickened at how childish someone can be.
Either way:
Telltale: 1
Vangallus: 0
On a completely serious note, thank you so much! This post made me giggle and smile the entire time.
You gave enough of a shit to post on it lol
In fact, the whole EPISODE is based around that dog bite!
You should all be ashamed of yourselves.
They should have just made sam the main character anyway.
Obvious troll is obivous. Damn where is the GIF when you need it??
That sounds great! He could wear a suit and have a little rabbit companion that follows him around. They could, like, solve mysteries and go on adventures and stuff. Telltale, get on it!
And I'm guessing the animal DIDN'T have it coming after almost killing Clementine?
Lol.
People have been complaining about this scene since this episode came out. Although the scene killed me it was not in vain. The whole idea with Sam is two things:
They needed the new group to think you were bitten, since you spent like half the episode trying to convince and survive the group. The whole bite incident was the central conflict in episode 1.
It shows how the world has changed to the point where a dog would back stab you for a can of beans. I thought it was symbolic showing how selfish humanity has become and now you don't know who you can trust. Ironic since dogs are supposed to be the most loyal animal on the planet (I could be wrong about that though).
Why do people who can't handle Sam's death on an emotional level always try to paint the scene as being unrealistic?
Oh, wait, I know; because it's silly to speak out against it based on their feelings alone when the series is based on a realistic, gritty portrayal of life in a zombie apocalypse.
Telltale won't miss you as a customer, because there are probably thousands like you who had the good sense to learn what they were getting into beforehand with TWD and avoided it so they wouldn't be exposed to unsettling situations in-game.
The actual fanbase understands that extremely unfair, depressing shit happens in TWD, and we love the series for it.
Thanks buddy
nope your wrong telltale should have never killed that dog even for the story thats just cruel.
