ya, because in a world coming to an end, peoples house pets are still being feed and cared for. Totally not walker bait or since they are "house" pets have no outside surivial skills and will likely starve if a zombie or human doesn't kill it for the scraps of meat on it. Food...is Food.
True. But a butthurt user can also become a troll anytime they choose if they start to feel like they don't have a leg to stand on.
My gues… mores is that TC expected more positive responses to his misguided point of view, and when he got well-reasoned arguments against it instead he started getting belligerent 'cuz he doesn't have the chops to make a rebuttal.
I'd call him a troll of convenience; shifting into "derp" mode to cover for the fact that he was feeling all these confusing emotions that nobody shares.
It wasn't a real dog, jeez. It's a videogame, how people can get this mad due to a fictional dogs death is beyond me, even though it's a game based on that humans become zombies who kill everything they see, but this is of course no problem, who cares about humans, dogs are so cute so pls don't kill them Telltale! I hope episode 2 is more childfrendly, I mean, it is the targeted audience, right? Picture yourselves in that situation, a dog attacks you under a zombie apocolypse, do you think "Oh go ahaid, I can't hurt you, you are a dog after all. I've survived years under the zombieapocolypse but I'll just let you kill me now"?
" this is getting intense, gotta change the subject" ....... So anybody hear about that new Juice box theory, it's apparently made with 10% real fruit juice

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 t… moreo 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.
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.
Was it the dog's death, or the brutality of it? I sure didn't like it, it was completely unexpected and I had to pause the game until the dog lovers and weak stomachs left the room. Hell, I teared up a little. However, your reaction is, while not as ridiculous as what has happened before my post, a little questionable, as this game and series is known for its brutality and gut-wrenching emotions it brings.
Don't get me wrong, I'm completely with you, I hated the scene. But the main difference between us is that I'm buying Episode 2.
who cares man! you should be more worried about people actually abusing a REAL DOG and not some video game dog that doesnt exist. i respect you dont like animal cruelty but getting mad when seeing not actual animals die? haha you people make me laugh.
Man all this upset over one scene. Can you imagine what Telltale has up their sleeves for future episodes? I knew something would happen to the dog eventually. Keeping an animal around that would make noise every time it ran into walkers? Bad idea.
I thought it made plenty of sense. The dog had been living without humans for a long time and was starving.
All the options for Clementine had her do something that could invoke food-aggression, even if you willingly share the food the dog gets overeager and Clementine tries to take it back to prevent it from eating all of it, which provokes an attack because she is taking away his food.
Many seemingly docile dogs turn quite crazy when you get near them while they are eating and there are actually quite a few kids getting killed every year due to dogs suddenly turning on them because they unknowingly breached their boundaries, like touching their food.
Animals are never malicious like a human might be but the term innocent doesn't really apply either.

For me its more the point that everyone is fine with the death of most of the games population, nearly all the charcaters including kids but not some random animal.
Even if its just season 2 these people were happy for your two loyal protecters to get gunned down, fight a maniac until he gets eaten alive and ends up all alone. However just as they killed a dog after it reacted instinctively to you taking its food they riot over it.... I dont get it

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 sce… morene 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.
Ruined the game for you? Did you not know the premise to this game when you bought it? It's a kill or be killed kind of world in the game!! Clem did what she had to do to survive! Don't be a Sally!! I think it was great! she's a tough one that Clementine!!

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 sor… morery, 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!
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!
Intredasting. This is just the kind of scenes that makes TWD what it is: uncompromised and realistic (in a zombie setting), compared to other franchises with their gratuitous violence and nudity for the heck of it. Emotional reactions were granted, given the fact that a lot of people have pets, especially dogs. I'm curious how they will top this.
BTW: You should probably stay away from the original TWD comics. The game and movie series are romantic love stories compared to those. Well, not quite, but almost.
Don't know about you, but the illogicality of it all annoys me. Unless the owners were lax with their training of the dog (which the dog's initial timidness testifies against) then Sam's attack was out-of-the-blue even ifhe was hungry. A proper dog is trained to know the humans eat first and the dog eats later, if at all.
Really, it was simply forced as TT couldn't spare a moments worth to give us two ways to get bitten or even injured on the arm. Had to make all the set-pieces look pretty.
Wait a minute... Set pieces... Little interactivity... Rail roading... My god, The Walking Dead is slowly becoming Call of Duty. Hell, they even put FPS sequences in the first game.
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 wit… moreh 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).
While I agree with your compassion, as I am also a huge animal lover, this specific scene was a pivotal moment in her story. Everything is cruel in the apocalypse. Humans kill other humans for food, shelter, supplies etc and animals (even docile) will do the same. Sam still held onto the loyalty for his owners, he lingered around their camp, probably waiting for them to come back, protecting it. Then, Clem shows up and even though they got along fine, she was able to pet him and play with him without any repercussions. The moment Clem finds food he grew territorial because the camp was his "home", it was his to protect. And in a world where food is scarce, of course he grew greedy. We don't know how long Sam was alone or when his humans died or how long this poor dog was starving. I don't know about you, but, I would have done the same thing as Clem regardless of my love for animals. In this world you either fight or die.
The fact that you were so disturbed by that scene proves that it was well done. That was the whole point. Besides, it's a world filled with flesh eating cannibal dead monsters, death is pretty much everywhere. Hell, it's called the Walking DEAD. So it's not disturbing when people attack and kill other people for survival, but it's disturbing when an animal does that out of pure instinct? I understand you did not like that scene, but it's a stupid reason to blame and hate the company behind the product. Just my opinion.
Let me get this straight... you are going to ragequit because your emotions can't handle fictional, animated violence?
Do you understand how pathetic that sounds?
People aren't calling you a troll to try to be mean... they are doing it to be nice. Being a troll, in this situation, would make you more respectable as a person. It's sort of like giving you the benefit of the doubt. That's what I will do, too. I'll just say you're "trolling" as a sign of good will

A troll of convenience, I like it. And I agree.

Doesn't matter really as OP is an obvious troll.
" this is getting intense, gotta change the subject" ....... So anybody hear about that new Juice box theory, it's apparently made with 10% real fruit juice
I sure did it the best theory I've heard yet
What about the other 90%?
When the entire population of Earth is replaced with lurkers... Nobody panics...
But when a dog is killed in the process... Everybody loses their minds!
Liquid Kenny. The stranger put him in a blender and shipped the juice around the world. It says it in the files of season 2.
Ever eat a hamburger or eggs?
They had to die oo...
Guess she didnt mind the parts when walking dead were eating children and adults... :P
So Clementine was drinking 90% Kenny?
Hey Vangallus,
Have you ever said anything that actually made sense?
It will help Clem grow a awesome mustache like Kenny's

You wouldn't last one day if something like The Walking Dead were to happen.
Some animal would have you for lunch

They eat dogs for lunch in some places of the world without an apocalypse. Welcome to the hard real world little kid.
Agreed!! God forbid some crazed Dog dies, But go ahead and Kill Duck off in season 1! lmao
Are you kidding Vangaluss? They killed Duck you know, and he's a kid....
