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.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 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.![]()
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?
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.
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.

Is season 3 confirmed?
I don't think so, but TellTale would be fools not to.

Kenny's a cunt. Always has been, always will be.
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.
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.
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?

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.
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.
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.
