The Walking Dead Season Two

[Scareb]

So I'm guessing this will be hitting next week?

Hey guys--please no spoilers... I just have a question about season two because I just finished season one on PS3.

I have a Ps4 and Ps3, but I plan to sell the PS3 in the coming months and just keep the PS4.

If my TWD save file is on the PS3, how do I get it onto the PS4? And even if I did, if I were to go and buy the disc (or download the episodes) for season 2 onto the PS4--whenever that comes out--would the PS4 even be able to recognize the save file? Or would season 2 not be able to read a PS3 game save on a PS4?

I do have Playstation Plus, so I believe my saves do go up to the cloud, but truthfully, I have never tried to attempt to retrieve them, so I don't know how to do that as of yet.

It's really sad when you care more about the characters you've known for maybe a year in the video game than you do about the comic characters you've known for 10 years. This episode was pretty great and just one giant decision after another. Cannot wait for season 3.

 

[Remy]

This game is becoming bittersweet for me.
On one hand, the story telling, emotions, characters, are magnificent.

On the other hand,

Spoiler

what's the point of caring for these characters if
Every single one you cared about except for Clem is gonna freaking die!!!

Yeah, I get it, its a grim scenario, but C'MON!!!
It's like the writers enjoy finding ways for all the characters to die.
It's at the point where the game is almost not enjoyable cause its no longer an emotional roller coster
ride, but a downward depressing game.
It needs to lighten up a bit!!!

It's just the medium. Even having a slight say in how the story goes gets you more emotionally involved than you are in the comic or the show. Especially with the pacing - it's so well done. It's a brisk pace - not so fast that you can't get involved, but not so slow that it becomes... well, the show.

And let's not ignore the fact that the game is just so well done - well written, well paced, and just well done when it comes to tugging at your heartstrings.

I won't get into what a wreck I was at the end of S01E05. But it went so far that every time Lee was mentioned, which was almost always in a positive light, I either teared up or came close to it. Lee might be the character I became more emotionally involved with than any other video game character, ever.

I came into Season 2 very late, because I can't take waiting between episodes. I'll start episode 5 tomorrow - and from the light feedback I've heard, I'm looking forward to being a mess.

Episode 5 spoiler so dont read it unless you played it

Spoiler

I felt terrible after plugging Kenny and then having that bittersweet moment before he dies. But holy **** was I speechless when AJ was still alive and I realized that Jane had goaded Kenny into what happened and I had to shoot him. This has never happened but when it came down to telling her that I either forgive her or I'm not going anywhere with her, I actually had the timer run out because I honestly didn't know what to say to her.

The way this episode went, everything just went so **** up, it's unbelievable.

 

[Fritz]

It seems the further along I played this season, the less interested I've become. I think it's down to too many different characters in and out in such a short period of time (5 episodes). I thought I would have been more excited for this last episode.

Spoiler

I had no problem shooting Kenny. I didn't like him in season 1 and I still didn't like him in season 2. In season 1, he was the only one in the group that didn't help me/Lee so **** him! lol Also, I wish I had the option to shoot Arvo. I stood up for that ******* and he shot Clem.

Spoiler

Oh man, nothing would give me greater pleasure than to shoot that little ******* right in the face. I stopped Kenny every time he started **** with arvo and while I didn't side with arvo. I treated him nicely, even after all he did. If he shows up in season 3, he's so dead. Even the redhead pissed me off. She treats me nice and then because I let the guy she had no shot with drown, she turns into a total *****.

I wonder how next season will play out. According to IGN there are 5 endings to this episode and of course you can choose between Kenny and Jane. So will it take longer because they have to do 2 seperate story paths? Or are they just gonna kill Kenny/Jane in the first episode.

Spoiler

Yeah, it was Bonnie's fault that Luke fell into the water because she walked over to him and the ice was thin. Why was she blaming Clem? Stupid *****! Don't you dare blame Clem!

Spoiler

Not sure which way you went but I chose to cover Luke instead of run in to save him. Then Bonnie fell in as well and Luke got stuck under the ice. I tried to break the ice and ended up falling in where I saw Luke drowned. Jane pulls you out and Bonnie hails herself out as well. Then later on you talk to her and she blames you for not helping Luke out of the water and she doesn't want to talk to clem anymore. Just goes complete ***** over some guy who would rather bang Jane than her. One thing is for sure, the moment I saw them try to take all the supplies and the truck and leave Clem, Kenny, Jane, and AJ with nothing, mercy was out the door.

Still hope I run into arvo down the road. I'll mess his other leg up too.

 

[cokebabies]

I really liked this season, but not as much as 1. Quite simply, it didn't have Lee, or anyone close to his caliber. I liked Clem, and I liked being Clem - but I'll always miss Lee. It says a lot to how good a character he was, where even when Clem mentioned him in passing, I'd choke up.

Then, when

Spoiler

You see Lee again, I almost lost it. It felt really weird not being the one to answer Clem.

Spoiler

This season seemed a tad less focused - lots of characters, some didn't matter to me. My other problem was in the last couple episodes, the choice was just to clearly binary - Kenny or everyone else. There didn't seem to be anything close to an organic way to resolve anything. This was especially tough for Luke vs. Kenny or, especially at the end, Jane vs. Kenny, since I really liked all three of them. But sorry Jane - Kenny may be slightly crazy, but he's been with me for longer. So you're gone.

My siding with Kenny until the end was the choice I made that had the smallest percentage of people with me (12.5%) of any choice I've ever made in the game. Although as usual, I'm sure those numbers will even up a bit more as people replay the season.

The multiple ending option is cool, but kind of a waste for this game. Even season 1, which I loved, I only played twice. I don't see myself playing this too many times, so I'll probably have to Youtube the other ending options. I think my next game will be:

Spoiler

cold hearted Clem, who sides with Jane at the end.

 

[Mister Ski]

Just finished Season 2 and I am loving this series. I will continue to use the spoiler tags...

Spoiler

I shot Kenny and stayed with Jane and let the "family" in at the end. About 36% of people made the same choice. Losing Luke sucked. Mike and Bonnie trying to scurry off with Arvo pissed me off. I wish I had shot them all. If any of them show up in S3, I won't hesitate to put them down, especially Arvo that little prick. There are some absolutely gut wrenching decisions that have to be made. Bravo and hats off to Telltale Games for making such a compelling and immersive game.

Now when does S3 come out?

Spoiler

Mike is the only one I would hesitate to kill of the three. He was the only one who was almost conflicted about leaving and who clearly felt the worse about clem getting shot. Bonnie and arvo both get one in the head, arvo gets 5. I wish they had made a bit more effort to show Mike not liking the situation. I mean they showed a little but when the moment happened, it felt off. I stuck with Jane. It really sucked killing Kenny but ultimately it was the more right of the decisions. He was on his last nerves and it felt more like a mercy killing of him then of defending Jane.

I'm assuming season 3 will probably be around October of next year but being that Telltale will be releasing game of thrones and tales of borderlands first along with hopefully wolf among us season 2, it could be a longer wait than it was between seasons 1 and 2 of walking dead.

Yeah, I was really liking Mike. I was figuring they'd set him up for some forgettable death, but instead I wound up just disliking him. I get wanting to leave Kenny, if the three of them just set off on their own, I'd have been fine with it (if Arvo hadn't taken the shot). But instead, they stole something that wouldn't have been working had it not been for Kenny. So for all their complaints about him, that option wouldn't have existed were it not for Kenny. Bonnie, whatever. I went back and forth with her, but overall, I didn't like her. And **** Arvo. Little ********. Mike seemed level-headed, and mostly a nice guy, for the most part, so I'd spare him, should I come across him again.

Spoiler

Yeah, arvo is one person I'm most looking forward to killing in future seasons. I mean I stuck up for him and made sure he was being treated well. I know he wanted to leave but shooting a kid to make sure he can is not on. Leads me to believe that clem was wrong and he wasn't a nice person that did a bad thing but rather just a bad person. If he's already dead next season, I'll feel a little better knowing he is but disappointed it wasn't because of me.

I wonder if there is a way you can kill Arvo this season? I am tempted to go back and side with Kenny and let him kill Arvo. If no one has done this yet, then I think I will eventually get around to trying it on a replay while waiting for S3. That *****er needs to die.

Quick Google shows that he isn't killed. I think him shooting clem is a major plot point. Hopefully next season.

Spoiler

I'd buy a DLC that consists of nothing more than "press X to shoot Arvo.
