But I like this gang!

Disturbed316 11-19-2012 03:04 AM

Same. With the new seasons group I don't know if they could go with such a young child in the group like Clementine, might get a bit samey otherwise.

Looks...epic!

"Lee’s final hours are some of this season’s best, and Episode 5 is the emotional finale fans deserve."

Tomorrow cannot come quickly enough.

Mercenary 11-20-2012 07:07 AM

*watches trailer* Oh my............It better be up soon for PSN. Think I'll look. Aw nuts.

Mercenary 11-20-2012 05:44 PM

Taking their sweet time updating the store....fuckers

Mercenary 11-20-2012 07:22 PM

About time! I'm going to love and hate this.

Mercenary 11-20-2012 08:32 PM

DAMN! DAMN! DAMN!

Mercenary 11-20-2012 09:52 PM

..and I finished the game, and just...damn!

#BROKEN Hasney 11-21-2012 03:11 PM

I knew it was going to be bad. But not that bad.

I don't want to talk about it. I just want to play Scribblenauts and try and cheer myself up.

Disturbed316 11-21-2012 04:07 PM

What a final episode, so many 'oh shit' momenets. I knew the final ending was coming but was still sad when it came about. Feeling a bit numb at the moment :'(

#BROKEN Hasney 11-21-2012 05:39 PM

Easily game of the year. I don't care about other games shooty mechanics or how a racing games engine makes for perfect slides. This game made me feel emotion like no other game has ever done.

There is no debate. It may not just be the game of the year for me, but even bigger than that. It is incredible.

That's how I felt well you can read my posts above.

Disturbed316 11-21-2012 08:08 PM

Yeah it should easily win any awards it's up for, but without the massive advertising other games have gotten I'm not sure it will. Despite a few niggles (having to sign out and back in of my xbox profile once the game has started in order for it to recognise my saved games) I've absolutely loved playing this game, more so than any boxed game for the past few years and haven't felt so much emotion since Shadow of the Collosus.

Going to do a number of play throughs to see what other options come about.

Ermaximus 11-21-2012 08:13 PM

I'm only halfway thru the final and chapter and I already feel...horrible having witnessed what I did. I just feel so helpless as Lee right now.

Ermaximus 11-21-2012 09:13 PM

UGH....

SPOILER: show
WHO THE FUCK WERE THOSE 2 PEOPLE IN THE DISTANCE AT THE END?

Crimson 11-21-2012 09:56 PM

Damnit stupid psn store isn't working. Good job Sony

Also i've reccommended this to some friends and they didn't like it because I think they were expecting a shooter zombie game. I told em to play for the story not shooting. Their loss, dummies

SPOILER: show
I hope its Christa and Omid, even though I hated them, for Clems sake.


Was surprised to find that, like with episode four, my choices went against the majority. I went with what I thought was the right thing to do for my Lee, but somehow seemed to be the opposite everyone else.

I was absolutely heartbroken when
SPOILER: show
Ben died. I saved him at the bell tower in episode four and was the only one who came with me to help find Clementine. I felt he was really trying to make up for his earlier screw ups and grew to trust him again. When he stood up to Kenny, I was like 'whoa' but he was right. When I saw him impaled in the alleyway, my heart just sank. Like Lee says in the attic, he's still just a kid himself which we forget at times. And when Kenny went down to help him and eventually had to put him out of his missery, again I couldn't help but well up when he sacrificed himself.


What were everyone's choices for the final episode, mine were:

SPOILER: show
Remove Lee's arm: No Didn't see the point, I was bitten and it had been too long since it happen for it to make a difference. If I wanted to get Clem back, I needed everything I had left to get her.

Lost Temper: Calmed the situation Don't really remember this choice, but that apparently what I did.

Gave up weapons: No (lied) No way in hell I was going to be unarmed with that freak

Killed Clementine's captor: No, Clem did Only because I didn't time it right and got shot myself, before Clem popped him in the head

Stopped Lee from turning: No I couldn't do that to Clem. I asked her to leave me as I didn't want to put her through doing that to closest person she had left.

#BROKEN Hasney 11-22-2012 03:28 AM

CHOICES

SPOILER: show
Remove Lee's arm: Yes Looking back, this was the worst scene. No, not because of the gruesome detail of the scene, which was fairly shocking, but because it gave me hope. Obviously nothing was going to end up OK, but it was a worth a punt to at least stop Lee from turning.

Lost Temper: Yup Kenny pisses me off and he continued to

Gave up weapons: Yes Dude had a gun and I didn't know what the string over the door was about so if I was found out, it could have been catastrophic

Killed Clementine's captor: Yup Choked the bitch out

Stopped Lee from turning: Yes Felt I had to keep her strong. I may have done this with tears, which is a huge testament to the game

Guess what I voted for?

PapaGeorgio 11-22-2012 11:44 PM

Fucking eh, I upgraded my PC to Windows 8 for whatever reason and did a refresh on it getting rid of all apps and shit. Just realized I lost my save file. So fucking pissed that can't play episode 5 with my file. I think there's a way to still just play it without having to play everything again but Ben better not be on my team. SOOOO ANGRY!!!!

Crimson 11-23-2012 12:00 AM

Wow ..the ending brought some emotions. When does episode 6 com out??

I'm afraid I have some bad news for you....

Though there is a season 2 coming eventually though could be new cast of characters.

I just finished my play through. Lost may save file but overall the random choices were close to what I did. So sad. Last half of the episode was just wow. In the hotel, the silence there was amazing.

Skippord 11-24-2012 01:17 AM

might have to buy this when it's on disc

I could sort of see that coming, because
SPOILER: show
when all the guys were jumping across to the roof, the railing gave way a bit on Kenny. I bet if Ben were with us, he'd have fallen there. But, I let that bastard fall to his death previously, so basically it was enevitable for him. I feel less bad about it now- and I wasn't broken up about him not there to begin with.


Final Choices:

SPOILER: show
Remove Lee's arm: No I went with the fact that it was "unknown" by these people that that had a possiblility of working. In spite of having seen the show, this not only happened previously, but to a different group in a different place. I figured there might be a chance to stop turning, but two arms were better to help find Clementine.

Lost Temper: Calmed the situation I tried to keep everyone focused on finding Clem. Arguing about finding another boat or not wasn't accomplishing anything constructive.

Gave up weapons: Yes I didn't know if he saw that big ass cleaver hanging out my pants, and wasn't going to risk literally bringing a knife to a gunfight to save Clem. I don't know why the radio counted as a weapon, and I had already dropped my gun.

Killed Clementine's captor: No, Clem did I *DID* time it right, and we still rolled around like a catfight. Clem tapped him Boondock Saints style.

Stopped Lee from turning: No I couldn't do that to Clem either. I wanted her to be strong, but not 100% cold. I did tell her to keep cutting her hair. It seemed like the most touching, personal response I gave in that whole last speech.

Also, with the walker guard, I had her reach for the gun. Lee told her "always go for the gun." It seemed a bit more personal to me, since that's why I rescued Carly over Doug to begin with... she had the gun.


Also:

SPOILER: show
Firstly, although they make it seem possible that the two figures are Christa and Omid... seems unlikely. My first question was "If Clem knew how to get back to the train, why the fuck is she walking through a wheat field?" It doesn't expressly say how much time has passed, and Clem may have been there already and not found them. I figured with intertwining cannon, it may have a possibility of being Andrea and Michonne between season 2 and 3 of the show. They may have been making a run for supplies or something, and as such, not had the two chained walkers with them. Seems "hopeful" that it's them, but likely it's just a setup point for getting a crew for the next game.

Secondly... how the hell did Clem's mother get all the way from Savannah? In my game, the one cannibal brother shot her in the face at the campsite (presumably before she could give too much information). She shouldn't have turned, let alone herded her way to exactly where we were going. I get it being a dramatic moment with Clem seeing them there and knowing they are now dead, but that seems an unpatched plothole due to my choices.


All in all, I loved this ride... but there are some things I wanted to know how the other path would play out in the same scenario. It'll be pretty hard to retrace the steps I took to begin with just to do/say three or four things differently. And apparently, that first choice has a HUGE bearing on the outcome of the entire landscape.

To your second point in your last spoiler tag, that wasn't her

How so?
SPOILER: show
I did manage to pick up the recorder and had batteries out the tent when reclaiming Clem's hat. I couldn't look at the other stuff because I got cut off. In the recording later, didn't she say she was Clem's mother?

FearedSanctity 11-24-2012 03:32 AM

SPOILER: show
Can't really recall what was said in the recorded message, but she was just some crazed woman who'd lost her daughter and stalked Clem to try and make up for it

Slightly different, a bit more ambiguously
SPOILER: show
my game says Kenny died too. He slapped me on my back and made me drop the radio. I thought it might still be important in finding Clem, so while we argued about who should go down and get it, Christa jumped down in the hole.

She couldn't reach us to pull her back up, and grabbed a metal pole. When she slid off and we dropped the pole, a bunch of walkers who were standing in the room the whole time suddenly realized she was there. Kenny jumped down to give her a boost, then ran off into the darkness shooting. I didn't know if he took a couple of them with him, shot himself, or found an alternate exit until the ending says he died. Kind of the same thing with the hobo. He says "i'll catch up with you later" and I just find him dead randomly in the sewer. Kenny says "I'll find a way around", and isn't seen or heard from again.

Honestly, I wouldn't have bothered about getting it back if I knew the radio had no bearing on anything anymore. Seriously, it didn't come into play once after Clem managed to tell us she was OK.

(Presumably) Kenny got killed for no reason. Bastards.

Change "might" to "should definitely" or preferably "absolutely will", and you have a winner.

Skippord 11-24-2012 03:53 AM

what is the gameplay like?

from what I've read it seems like Heavy Rain but I'm not sure that's true

#BROKEN Hasney 11-24-2012 04:22 AM

It's kind of a cross between Grim Fandango and Heavy Rain.

Unlike Heavy Rain though, this game is brilliantly written.

Skippord 11-24-2012 04:29 AM

I liked Heavy Rain :'( the ending was bullshit though

But since I enjoyed that gameplay I will definitely buy this now

Crimson 11-24-2012 12:12 PM

You won't regret it.

Can't wait for the next one to come out. Hope we get some answers as to what happens to some of the characters from this one. Maybe some cameos?

They'd have to do it in the same city again though..so probably not :(

Razzamajazz 11-24-2012 02:24 PM

just got this on steam and in the middle of the first one. my biggest issue is the fucking mouse sensitivity when i need to be quick to kill a zombie. i always over shoot the target area or move to it too slowly.

Razzamajazz 11-24-2012 02:25 PM

but i've wasted a good couple hours on it so far. i love this

PapaGeorgio 11-24-2012 03:42 PM

I had issue with the mouse if you go into settings and change the resolution to like 680 x480 or what ever it is it fixed it for me

Ermaximus 11-26-2012 11:51 AM

I just wish they would've let me keep Molly and Lily in my group.

Also, Chuck the hobo was the most pointless character in this game.
SPOILER: show
You find him near the end of Chapter 3, and he dies near the start of Chapter 4.
