Were you not paying attention? They show this many many times. Hell, the ending even emphasizes this with Clem taking charge when Lee can't.
Do you need everything spelled out for you?
No, the lazy way to finish this story is what they're doing now. What they did at the end of Season 1 was bold and refreshing... now they've gone and buggered it all up. And I don't know what game you played, but there was very much a focus on getting Clem ready to survive in the world alone.

Telltale definitely taking the easy way out by making clem the protagonist. Instead of making a new original story, they are continuing a story that should not be further explored.

Season 1 (and The Wolf Among Us) ran poorly on these consoles. Was hoping for next gen jump.

I hope there's a way to transfer save/story details from my ps3 version of the game to other platforms. I feel stuck on the ps3 because that's where I played the first season : /
Can't we leave that question to be answered individually instead of shoved down our throats?
I'm a little concerned about this as well, but I'll definitely give it the chance it deserves.
Clem as a protagonist is pretty risky, it's hard to write a good child character.

I know in an interview somewhere they mentioned lookimg into transfering saves to the new consoles, so they're definately thinking about it (they'd be silly not to)
And we know nothing of the results from that. We don't know if she was ready or not because Lee is by her side throughout the game.
Then don't play this game if you don't want to imagine, but I find being told a story more interesting then "imagining" it. Might as well end the first season at episode 1 so we can "imagine" what happens to them next.

I sweartogawd if she dies........
Has nobody read the comics or watched the tv show for this series? The first season of this very game did well in informing the player that any notion of kids and their place in an old society, in this world, needed fixing. They have to pull their weight and be more careful, since they are kids.
Carl is a child on the show and he had to make two decisions harder than his father and the rest of the adults on the show. He's a kid and wouldn't hesitate to off someone if the job needed done, or he needed to protect someone.

We saw that already in the finale. She had become a competent survivor.
I am starting to think you haven't played the game. Clem saves Lee's ass on multiple occasions and the entire ending is about Clementine learning to make hard choices. We already know she's ready unless you need to be explicitly told that and can't infer it from her actions.

Damn, i was hoping for a PS4 version, although i don't see how they could transfer all my choices from the PS3. Oh well more incentive to keep the PS3 close by/
Carl is still not the leader of the group. He's not making decisions for everybody and rightfully so.
Yep, and now Telltale is going to answer for us regardless of whatever closure we individually took.
I'll still definitely give this game a chance, but this is an awful first impression for me.
How?
Then don't play it. Please god don't play this game, so that you almighty imagination may flourish.

Is it available for pre-order on consoles, or PC-only?

Glad they made her fully playable, I hope they did something like the choices you made as Lee reflected upon Clementine and made her who she is now.
You don't really understand the point of open-ended story telling do you?
Nope, I'm going to play it and judge it based on this lazy storytelling and you can't stop me!
Mwa ha ha ha ha!!!

THIS. I had so much trouble with the save games in the first season it wasn't funny. I played it on two different platforms (Xbox 360 and PC) and BOTH had issues with the save mechanic. How does that even happen?

She
either killed Lee or left him behind. She makes a hard choice just like Lee did. She knows how to forage for food. She knows how to fire a gun. She'll be fine.
Why does a protagonist have to be the leader?
How does she know how to forage for food. It was usually Lee and Kenny who went looking for food while they left her behind. Choosing to kill lee or not has no bearing on survival. And she can barley use a gun.

Waiting for season 1 and 2 to come out for the PS4.

Sure she can fight off a zombie without a gun. She's got a claw hammer. I don't think they're going to make her completely useless. I often felt at times they were holding Lee back a bit, so going from that to a little girl isn't a big deal to me.
Agree 100%.

That doesn't matter. He's more than capable of handling business if he needs to.
Clem has always been the main character of the series. It's just in S1 we were seeing her story from the perspective of a stranger. The stranger being Lee.

im hoping for more gameplay and less hand holding...
graphics are a nice upgrade though.

Who would win in a fight? Clem or Ellie?
No, but the world he lives in demands that kids can't be kids anymore. If Telltale wants to explore that, I'm all for it.
I agree. I'm incredibly excited to see where they go with this.

It's not just about Clem learning to survive, it's about what those lessons mean for the person she'll become. In a game where the core conceit is seeing the impact your decisions have on other characters, there's value in seeing the moral blank slate of a young child develop based on her memories of the actions of her caretaker.

gonna be hilarious what kinda messed up save carries over on PC.
Would you want to be ordered around by a NPC the entire game instead of making your own decisions?
Yea pretty huge oversight.
I played it on PC. Played the first 3 episodes, and then took my PC to my parents house for the holidays and it corrupted on episode 4.
So I was like...fine I will play again. I got through episode 4 in one sitting and went to bed just to wake up the next day and have it corrupt on episode 5.
I tried all the fixes, but just gave up and kept watching the "last time on walking dead" until it matched for the majority of my play through.
