The Walking Dead Season 2 SPOILERS Thread!

Well, having played through the various endings I think I'm happiest with the stay with Kenny and leave Wellington ending. It feels the right ending based on the relationships across the two seasons.
 
Played through during the weekend.

Kenny was just such a walking ticking timebomb. I couldn't stand his anger escapades, and when he is about to kill the only resourceful, pragmatic and sensible person in the entire season (ok, maybe apart from poor drowned Luke), I just had to shoot him, friend or not.

Then I let Clem tell Jane that she was being fucking crazy with that, but in the end forgave her. Let the family in at the end, they looked somewhat trustworthy and could help out, hopefully.

Anyway, it was a great season overall. I watched the other endings on youtube, they were fine too, but I just can't accept letting Kenny kill Jane.
 
Powered through this today and enjoyed it, but not to the same degree as the first. Too many niggles that irked me. Clem being far too precocious and perceptive in her interactions, for one. It just became increasingly difficult finding a place to pitch her behaviour and understanding. At times I felt caught in a trap of playing the game with my choices and choices a kid would naturally make. Another point of minor annoyance being the zombies that magically warp in when TT wants to inject urgency into the plot; way too artificial. It's like I'm playing a JRPG with random encounters. I did like Jane Solo coming in with her knife throwing save and going "yeehoo! you're all clear Kenny, now let's kill these Russians and go home!" That was good. It's probably why I ended up going with her in the end. She had a nice Han Solo vibe about her. Kenny was an unreasonable lunatic. His inability to be able to rationalise in the heat of the moment is a death sentence for Clem. He can fuck off with his "I don't have the right", the man cracks under nearly every high pressure situation he faces. He was a liability.

I agree with you. I like Jane, too, despite her questionable choices. At least she had a justification for putting AJ in danger (even though it was evil), while Kenny was old, broken, tired of living and a time bomb. I was willing to forgive him for a lot of shit because we had been through a lot together, but there's only so many meltdowns you can have till I decide that's enough.

I went with Jane at the end and told the survivor family to fuck off. I like lone wolves.
 
I shot Kenny. Stayed with Jane and let the family even (yes, even if the Father is white). Gonna watch the endings now and see badly I fucked up.

I dunno. Season 3 was the highly and since then...meh. Wasn't terrible but I wasn't satisfied. Probably because of my ending though.

Edit:
Looked through the endings. Eh. There is no right answer. I can say "fuck Jane" but she's right about Kenny. In a way, killing him was putting him out of his misery. Jane is a good survivour. She's seen this type of thing before. But she did manipulate Clem.
Again, eh.
 
God damn Kenny I really wanted to see you live but youre too fucking crazy. Went with Jane and accepted that family at the end. Sigh...
 
For me, killing Kenny and forgiving Jane seemed like the best options for Clem. I was surprised to see that I was in the vast minority on going with her.

Oh yeah, fuck that family at the end - something was not quite right about the way the dad whipped his arm away from his wife. Felt bad for their kid but that's life in the zombie apocalypse.
 
It's really interesting to see the strong difference in opinion across the gaming press. IGN didn't like episode 4, yet loved episode 5. Complete opposite for Gamespot and Gametrailers. I definitely side with IGN on this one. I'd give episode 4 a 6.5/10 and episode 5 a 9/10. I just couldn't give a damn about the events of episode 4.

For me, it went:
Episode 1: 9/10
Episode 2: 9/10
Episode 3: 9.5/10
Episode 4: 6.5/10
Episode 5: 9/10

I killed Kenny and ended up with Jane, letting new people join us. It's really cool how much the endings differ. I'm curious to see how they're going to handle that in season 3.
 
From some of the slightly less-than-positive reviews of individual episodes, I went into it with mixed expectations... and loved the entire season. Occasional weak characters (Mike anyone? He needed fleshing out), but otherwise more of the same, and just as enjoyable.

Yeah okay, so one of the antagonists was basically a carbon copy of The Governer, and another incredibly Michonne-esque, but these templates have been proven to work, so why not reuse them? Fucked-up characters in a fucked-up universe, where typical people are forced into atypical situations.

Anyway, I found the choices harder to make this time around. I can't believe they did that to me at the end. Forcing me to choose between my old favourite, and new favourite (Kenny/Jane) characters. It felt like a natural climax... I especially enjoyed the dynamic of Clem and Jane's (the aforementioned Michonne-esque female) relationship as it grew throughout the season. Made me care about the crucial decision. Went with the old South Park line: "OMG, you killed..."

Bravo Telltale. Bring on Season 3.
 
I could see a time skip being possible as a way to let all the endings merge into one. The only thing that annoys me with this series is if you're ever given the option of saving someone's life, they WILL end up dead within the next episode. I assume it's because they can't have the main story arc involve that character anymore since they could be dead in someone's game, so they kill them off for some action/drama. But knowing this, no matter if you let Kenny or Jane live in the finale, they will be dead by Episode 1 of season 3. Or at the very least, they will leave Clem at some point. So yeah, I might save Kenny now, but not for long. :(

Yeah, it's funny to me how Call of Duty (Black Ops 2) manages to do this better somehow despite TWD being all about this. In Black Ops 2 your characters matter, and the plot actually changes if some characters die or don't die, quite amazingly. They still retain their place in the story and do stuff differently. They don't even get killed off if you manage to save them.
 
Replayed the final yesterday because I played it when the achievements never synced. The game really does try hard to make you feel for Kenny while Jane is pretty much trying to usurp Clem's level of trust from Kenny in some ways. I went with Kenny this time and I honestly think he's got the much better ending.
 
After a small hiatus, I finally finished the season. I'm probably in the minority, but I actually think the season finale was better than the first. More variation in how the finale plays out and tougher choices than I anticipated. I sided with Kenny and stayed at Wellington.

Random thoughts:

-Poor Sarah. Her death really hit me hard. Something about a little girl screaming bloody murder while being eaten alive is just awful; especially since I spent so much time being nice to her in prior episodes. It's an effective plot line in setting up the justification for Jane's outlook on life though.

- I think the ending I chose was the best possible ending for Kenny. He finally gets a situation where he didn't fail to save the ones he loved. He'll probably die alone in the cold, but shit he did survive an alleyway full of walkers so who knows?

- 400 Days seems pretty darn pointless in hindsight.
 
Only 13% of us ended up with Kenny at the end according to the choices that were presented to me at the end. YOU MONSTERS

Chose to stay with Kenny and left Wellington with him.

Last episode was good, didn't like he first four as much as I did the first season. I feel a little disappointed that season 3 will probably feature Clementine again. I had hoped there would be more closure to the story but I guess not, Christa was also nowhere to be seen in the final. Guess they are saving stuff for season 3.

Good season all in all but I liked Wolf Among Us a bit more. Let's see how Tales of the Borderlands will turn out.

I'm more interested in what they have in store for us with Game of Thrones. They're still doing that, right?
 
I just finished Season 2.

I'm going to read through some of the thread, but was anyone else like me and basically sided with Kenny the whole way through? Everyone kept complaining about how he was dangerous and how he changed, but fuck, he was the only one really keeping everyone safe and thinking about the group. Why shouldn't he be skeptical of everyone? Why wouldn't he treat the Russian kid who nearly got EVERYONE killed like shit? This is the motherfucking zombie apocalypse, sympathy can take a back seat to surviving. You have to be tough in that world. I didn't buy what everyone was saying about how he only cared about himself. I know what he went through in Season 1 and I know Kenny is a fighter.

I loved the ending, I ended up staying in Wellington. I was so sad to leave Kenny, but I felt like it is what Lee would've wanted for Clem, and he probably would've done the same thing for her.

I did the same thing and although I hesitated for a sec about letting the guys in at the end,because of when the guy said,hey I am a father also and the kid is black and the 2 adults are white,found it a little suspicious but they might not be a family per say,I let them in....so I got the 36% of people ended up with Jane and the new family for the ending,back at the lodge where Carver was killed...found this strange.

I mean I redid the Luke part,covering him instead of running to him to help,but he dies anyway in both choices...I loved the season except I thought it just went too fast from the part where the truck gets fixed till the end...Bonnie and the other black guy just vanish and all...

Lol at "Kenny" and "keeping everyone safe" :P

I am really curious if they manage to top the Cyanide's Game of Thrones RPG game. Because that game was balls to the wall fantastic in its storyline department. I kinda doubt Telltale will match or exceed that, as much as I enjoy Walking Dead and Wolf Among Us.
 
Just finished the season. Great stuff.

Ended up killing Kenny in the end, forgiving Jane and told the people coming up to the holdout to go away. Throughout the last couple of episodes I kinda kept switching between siding with Kenny and siding with the others, but in the end I had to kill him. I thought of all the irrational bullshit he did in mostly the first season and decided that I was tired of him.
 
Finished it yesterday. Thought it was great. I ended up letting Kenny off Jane, forgiving him and then went with Alvin Jr into Wellington and left him by himself :( It had been ages since I finished Season one, so it was challenging trying to remember the events that happened. I'm looking forward to seeing what Season 3 is about!
 
I let Kenny live by not making a choice. Throughout the last episode I rarely chose dialog. All my cares were drained by this season. There was less gameplay than ever in this episode, almost nonexistent. I can remember 2 or 3 "action" sequences, with 1 obligatory short "combat" sequence. I didn't care for any of the characters and all the choices were typical Telltale overly cheesily dramatic earth shattering "me or her, us or them" decisions.

When Luke died I didn't care because he's dumb. When Sarah died I didn't care because she's dumb. I never cared about sleazebag Bonnie. I didn't care when Jane left. I didn't even care when Rebecca died, clutching her baby, in the ultimate tear jerker scene.

It was interesting to see just how little gameplay was required of me if I didn't touch a button. The conversations continued to flow unbroken. In fact, if I did talk it would interrupt other character voice clips. If I didn't talk, other people actually did and said things, instead of having Clem do everything.

Boring game. Boring season.
 
Just beat the game, shot Kenny and forgave Jane. I feel like I made the right choice. I mean, I liked Kenny, but that guy was going crazy. I might be in the minority but I really liked Jane. She was an interesting character, someone both tough and frail, who was afraid of getting close to people. I don't feel she manipulated me at all, she just saw that the group was imploding, and didn't want Clem to get hurt when it did. She wasn't really wrong either.

I did cry like a baby though at Kenny's last words though.

Edit: I chose to let the family in, because I don't want Clem to lose her humanity, even if its more dangerous.
 
Finally finished episode 5 today. Great stuff, they sure didn't hold back on the heart strings though. After all I've been through with Kenny, I toughed it out with him, and let him kill Jane. I could not shoot him, that would just be awful. I didn't go into wellington either. I'm not abandoning Kenny on my watch. We all left together. I wonder if they will do a season 3.

Would we play an older AJ or what?

Actually a season 3 was confirmed.

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/comic-con-2014-the-walking-dead-season-3-confirmed/1100-6421327/
 
finally played the ending

not completely content with my decision to leave with AJ alone but my initial reaction to that manipulation was fuck Jane so.. yeah, dunno. I really liked Kenny till the end, and I could see how shooting him was the best option so I did, still but playing with the AJ thing was low

episode was wild

I guess if Jane comes back in season 3 i'll forgive her.
 
You can rest knowing you've made the right choice, SalsaShark.
He's with his boat now.

This got me good...

I think that boat is cursed. In either 400 days or Season 2, there's a mention that the cancer survivors group (the ones that stole it in Season 1) ended up crashing it - killing the lead dude.

I reckon in Season 3 a piece of wreckage from the boat will end up killing someone somehow... I'll be disappointed if it doesn't continue to live up to its reputation.
 
Just beat this a few minutes ago. I chose to kill Kenny and leave Jane at the end. After watching some of the Kenny/Jane endings, the one I got really sucked (not stylistically, though!).

I really liked the ending where you get to Wellington with Kenny and choose to leave with him. I kind of wish my ending was a bit more like that one, but Kenny was too crazy near the last few episodes.

Overall, enjoyed the experience. Maybe not as much as S1, but I'll be back next Season.

Is that what happened to the boat that they stole? I thought that they got ambushed trying to push it out to the docks and that's how the guy got killed.

I assume this is what'll happen. the Boatpocalypse is upon us.
 
Just finished this. Decided to take out Kenny and forgive Jane...the dude had to go, he was clearly not the same dude and lost his humanity. I decided to let the family in and hope I start up my own camp. I hope I don't regret that choice.
 
Finished this yesterday. Very disappointed with it. Nowhere near as good as the first.

I killed Kenny. Clearly it was time for that asshole to go. He just lost it, couldn't keep his shit together. He never could, even in season one. He should have died long ago.

Went with Jane and allowed the family to join. They needed a new group. There is no way they would survive alone with a baby.

Anyway, it was really hard to relate with Clem. Everything was so unrealistic. The way she behave but mainly the way people behave around her. "Hey Clem, what do you think we should do?", "hey Clem, please fix this situation, I can't do it despite being a grown ass person". It just felt really forced. Clem even survived on her own with a baby and no food in one of the endings. I mean, really?

I also disliked all of the new characters and their interactions. Felt nothing when they died. I just didn't care for any of them. The way the episode telegraphed how you would make a choice between Kenny and Jane was pretty lame too.

If the whole thing was a dream people would really rage, but ironically that would be the ending that would make the most sense and explain the behavior of Clem and the other characters. Clem's preeminence among adults is the thing only a child could imagine.

Overall, the story just didn't grab me. It felt it was very uninspired and uninteresting overall.

But the biggest crime was not letting me tell Rebecca the baby looked just like Carver. Really, Telltale?
 
Finally finished this.

Luke :'( i wanted him to make it.

Was gonna be pissed if it was all a dream. Though seeing Lee again got me teary eyed.

In the end chose to get rid of Kenny. He was just a ticking time bomb. Couldn't stand his anger problems. He had to go for the sake of Clem and whatever group she would join.

Forgave Jane. Sure her manipulation was messed up but she had a point.

Also chose to let the family in. They can help with the baby.

If you can, unwind to the last moments and choose Kenny. See his ending. Not that I want you to stick with him, but that way you can see both options and choose what you liked the best to carry on to Season 3, if you play it. That's what I did, anyway.

What is the family you guys are talking about? I never saw an opportunity to let any kind of family join... Does this only occur if you have Jane with you at the end? I always have Kenny with me in my playthroughs.

Yeah i'll check out the other endings later. Sis currently playing her save file. I'm guessing she'll either go the Kenny end or solo end

Maybe it's a Jane only option. Jane suggests going back to Howes. There a man, his wife, and kid ask for shelter at Howes. You can either let them in or tell them to take a hike
 
Little kick

Waited a while to play this, but it happened; overall this season isn't as good as the original, but still entertaining. I think my biggest problem with this season are all of the characters (except for Clem and Kenny) are just passing by. Felt that in season one characters are more fleshed out. In season 2 they'd die and that's the end of it. Episodes were pretty short too.

Went with Kenny in the end. Jane is crazy as well; she's not a bad person, but showing up without AJ just to prove a point? Come on man, that's terrible. Luckily the Kenny ending delivered bigtime. Staying in Wellington and seeing Kenny being selfless again... you're allright.

The short length is definitely part of the issue with how the characters are presented. There's no real moments of bonding, you're just constantly doing things, there's some minor conversation but it's just them telling you things or asking you things, there's no depth or backstory to them. Saying that though they did give Luke some but it's literally just before he's about to die.
 
Only just finished the game tonight. Some notes:

  • Overall a few hours shorter than the first; due to fewer/no puzzles and few optional conversations.
  • Each chapter didn't feel as unique as last season. Looking back it is far harden to remember in which episode certain things happened.
  • Still missed the lack of a meaningful relationship. Telltale tried it with Kenny, but it just wasn't as good as the Lee and Clementine relationship.
  • Wasn't happy with my ending (with Jane and the family) as it didn't provide any closure.
  • Much preferred the ending with Clem and AJ in Wellington.
  • Greatly enjoyed Clem's growth in the season, especially my cold hearted approach.
  • Still dissapointed with the lack of meaningful decisions, but I've come to expect it from TTG.
  • Really hate Mike now, wish we had the chance to kill him.
  • Not as great as the first season, but still an excellent story and good game. It ends up feeling like a TV show, but where you have some minor inputs and a lot more emotional attachment, and that's plenty good for me.

I don't know. I'm pissed at Mike for helping to try and steal the supplies and truck, but he wasn't my least favorite character. It's not like he's the one who shot me or tried to convince me to go into a death trap. I think that goes to Bonnie. Did Bonnie die in your story? Because that might be why you hate Mike so much.
 
Finally had a chance to play this and just finished the last episode about half hour ago. Overall, this season was a severe disappointment. There weren't any memorable moments on any of the episodes unlike in the first season. The best way I can attempt to describe how I feel is to say that the first season had "heart." Season 2 just seemed meh in comparison.

I can vividly remember sneaking into the upstairs room at the cannibals' house in season 1, and being on the verge of having a heart attack. This season by comparison, the only part where I felt just as engaged was around the campfire in the last episode.

Also, I was annoyed by the voice acting. The actors in S1 seemed to be a lot more into it.
 
Just finished it too, reading about the different endings shocked me with how different each one was! Apparently I got the least common one though, with Jane and AJ but didn't let the family in. The way that guy slapped away his wife's hand didn't sit well with me, even if the kid did need food.
 
I feel good with my ending, i shot the unreliable and manipulative Jane, went to Wellington with the normal being guy Kenny and finally stayed with him. 13% of players followed that path, meh.
