I finished season 2 about two weeks ago and have quickly realized that it is quite possibly my favorite gaming franchise of all time!
Kenny was my boy. I LOVED him. Even though he lost a lot of his sanity he meant so much to my Clementine and even to me as a player. He was quick to temper and hsuffered from a lot of rage but deep underneath it all he was a kind spirit that reached it's breaking point.
I was constantly trying to be the voice of reason to him and I'd let him know when I didn't agree with his actions,... but at the same time I let him know that ever since he came back after losing Lee, that he had become a father figure to me. And he VERY much was, which made the season 2 finale a heartbreaker to me.
When Jane arrived at the rest stop without the baby, my first thought was that she'd purposely used the baby as a distraction so that she could get away from the zombie horde, (yes i thought at the time she had actually sacraficed him) and I was pissed! Until the two of them started to fight.
As the fight started I quickly sat up in my chair, my heart was racing as I devoted ALL atention to the fight. I was scared that I was going to miss a button prompt and lose kenny in my story forever. ( I decided from day one all the way back at the beginning of the first season that I would stand by EVERY decision that I make and WILL NOT go back to replay episodes until they have stopped this game series and my story had come to an end
So losing kenny wasn't an option!!
I watched the fight play out before my eyes and something I hadn't ever expected to happen happened. I listened to kenny, to what he said and how he acted in the fight. And I found myself afraid. Afraid of Kenny! Not afraid for my own (Clem's) life, for I know he would never her, but just afriad.
He was screaming "I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!!!" as he tusseled jane to the ground and he was so full of rage and anger he scared me (Clem).
Then the point came in the fight were the gun was tossed my way and I crawled over to get it. All the while I'm thinking to myself "No game don't make me choose between them! I don't know what to do.....!!!
And then it happened , I needed to make a decision. To fire at kenny or look away as he plunged the knife into Jane's heart. And I didn't know what to do...
It felt wrong to let him just kill her, but it was kenny, the one person who has been like a father to me ever since Lee.
The timer bar was vanishing and I couldn't push a button on my controller! What am I supposed to do?!
And then I was pulled back to my thoughts on his rage, and the darkness I had heard coming from his voice. The bloodlust and anger that had consumed him. It dawned on me that I knew why he was SO angry, ... because he was a broken man. The evil and darkness he was presenting was from sorrow and pain. His heart was full of saddness and I understood. As the bar trickled away to nothing I decided in that last moment that I WOUDN'T save Jane, I decided that I would save Kenny. So I...

My PS3 wont let me edit my post so I got to make a new one : /
...Pulled the trigger and shot kenny....
I decided to save him from his pain. He had endured enough so I shot him to save him. That choice I made ended up not having anything to do with Jane.
And as kenny lay dying he told me I made the right decision. And my Clem told him with tear soaked eyes that he would see Kaja and Duck again. He said I could always make him smile. And then, kenny, who was so fond of, died...
I was really upset about that decision , even though it felt right in so many ways....
And then I found the baby. And all of a sudden Jane, who had become a background prop for the time being, focused back into view.
And with the the truth of what she had done staring me in the face I realized how much I hated her for what she did. Because even though at the time I made the best decision that I could that felt right, I was upset the she had to put me in that position to kill my friend. And when the option presented itself I made the choice immediateli and told her to F off. That I wasn't going anywhere with her.
And that's how my chapter ended.
Hopefully season 3 picks up where season 2 ended with us still playing as Clementine. I want to play as a character who's personality I 've built up over the series. My Clem is going to be even darker in season 3 as season 2 taught her that she can't trust anybody!
First the girl who comes for food but then brings Bill. Can't remember her name. Also his name was Bill right? lol Been a couple of weeks so forgot some names. Then her seeing how Bill treats people and how he kills Reggie just because she didn't finish her plant project. Then Arvo bringing the men with guns after Clem let him keep his meds. Then Mike , that lady and Arvo leaving with all the supplies. And then Jane. She has realized the world is full of liars and she wont trust a damned soul come next season.
There were 4 deaths that really upset me through this series. Here theye are in dying order: Carly, Lee, Luke, Kenny.

I was pretty pissed at Jane as well when I heard AJ cry and she started explaining why she did it. I definitely did not enjoy being put into that position by her. I can see though where she was coming from. Piss poor timing but AJ was the only thing that allowed her the opportunity to show just how unhinged Kenny had become, only she didn't realize just how much. The last thing that we needed was for Kenny to snap at Clem or Jane at the worst time and get one of them killed or for him to jeopardize everything. I mean as much as Kenny loved Clem, he was still pretty messed up. I mean how would he have reacted if it was Clem who had lost AJ. In her own stupid way, Jane was looking out for her and Clementine.
I let her stay despite what happened. She has skills I can use and despite how badass Clem is, she isn't the road warrior. Doesn't change the fact I'm pissed with her.
I wonder how all the different endings will play out in season 3.

I finished this the other week. ****ing love this game.
I then looked up all of the other endings, DAMN, I didn't realize they were that different. That is going to make for an amazing Season 3.
I decided to kill Jane and not let the people into Carvers. Which was ****ing badass when Clementine said we will be ready.

Well guys, I know I'm super late to the party, but I just finished season 2 and figured I'd give my thoughts if anyone cares. A lot of you had some really cool things to say. I really felt a lot of what Charger had to say specifically.
Here are my choices and why:
Overall, I felt the final shot was a bit unsatisfying, but it was a good and really engaging season. With that said, I wish the characters were more fleshed out and you really cared about them more. I also felt that in season one, your decisions felt like they had more weight and that you had to make seriously tough decisions. Do you save this person or that person? Do you forgive this person or kick them off the bus? It just felt more important, whereas this season, because Clem was never the leader of the group, those kinds of dynamics were never in play. It was also weird how the adults would always seem to basically say, "Hey, this is a super dangerous situation here--hey Clem, how about you go tackle it?"
So, not as good as season 1, but it had it's moments and I definitely enjoyed it. I hope we get one more season with Clem.
One little quick thing about a big point in season 2:
Here are my choices and why:
Some people say they dislike Kenny, but I always enjoyed him despite him being so angry. I always felt his anger was justified since he lost so much, but admittedly, it was seemingly starting to reach a boiling point.
When Jane arrived without the baby, I couldn't quite tell if she got overrun by walkers and the baby died, or if she was intentionally stashing the baby somewhere to get Kenny to flip out. The first thought seemed more logical, but before Kenny attacked her, she pulled Clem aside and said something to the effect of "Watch how badly Kenny loses it here, Clem" (I'm paraphrasing). So it made me think she had planned something. But, at the same time, I'm thinking "how can you hide a baby in a blizzard and expect him to survive?" I'm trying to put all these puzzle pieces together in split seconds.
In the end, I chose to kill Kenny. I agree to an extent with Charger--that it felt like putting him out of his misery. That he really almost seemed to hate to have to be alive. But it was more than that for me. Jane seemed like a more level headed person, and someone who could definitely defend herself, Clem, and the baby. She just seemed more reliable for the long term, especially when the alternative is a broken man with one eye and a slashed belly.
I think, too, that before I pulled the trigger, I held out some hope that maybe Jane just simply couldn't save the baby (because from my past interactions of her, she didn't seem like someone who would remotely let a baby die unnecessarily--she even felt bad for killing a guy who was pointing a gun at Clem earlier in that episode. So I felt that Kenny killing this woman over something he assumed to be fact but that I felt in my heart wasn't fact would be wrong.
I also feel that, in a game like the Walking Dead, you have (or at least want to) make smart calculations of who gets you to "the end" best. And I just felt that a healthy Jane would be better for Clem and AJ's long-term survival than a physically and emotionally wrecked Kenny--as much as I really love Kenny.
In the end, when I found out Jane's ruse, I cursed her out. But ultimately I forgave her and we moved forward together because it just didn't make long-term sense to me to have Clem out in a blizzard, holding an infant, and expect that she'd survive. She needed help.
Got the ending where we went back to Bill's warehouse, see his body, and a family comes by (man, woman, and child). You can either let them in or turn them around. I chose to let them in--don't want Clem to be too emotionally dead inside, lol.

One little quick thing about a big point in season 2:
When Clem got shot, I was BLOWN AWAY. Shocked. I thought that I had made a decision that essentially ended the game for me. And then when it flashed back to Lee, while I was happy to see him and thought it was super cool and emotional, in the back of my mind I kept thinking, "Wow, the decision I chose basically is going to result in this all being a dream inside Clem's head, and essentially the rest of season 1 and all of season 2 didn't happen." I'm happy that wasn't the end result, but I couldn't believe Arvo shot her.
