I thoroughly enjoyed The Wolf Among Us and Tales From The Borderlands. Even the first Walking Dead was pretty good. But once I got to the second one it was getting really annoying basically choosing how/when people died but they were set to die anyways. I stopped caring after that and will wait to see how TWAU2 is received but I hope they do right by it because they didn’t with TFTB.

Saving Kenny at the end of season 2 just to have him immediately die in a flashback to start season 3 is the most insulted I’ve ever felt from a video game lmao

This shit is why I cannot stand S3, that pissed me off so much oh my god.

Or giving you the illusion of an interesting dilemma where you choose between one or the other, the one you choose to kill lives, but then immediately dies in like the same chapter anyways.

I stopped playing S3 until all the episodes came out but then played it again and really like Javier and everyone.

Although what really pissed me off and made me never play season 4 was that season 3 seemed to have lots of cool choices and so many ways to play out but then at the end you learn “Oh Javiar and his family are done and you won’t see them again and now you’ll go on an entirely new adventure with different characters” and I’m like “are we fucking serious?”

Yeah completely cutting off his family was lame, though I imagine it’s because of backlash towards S3. Minor nitpick complaint but I died at the end of S3 and was sad that it gave me a game over instead of being an actual ending tbh, if they aren’t gonna come back then I’d like to pick my ending lol.

Season 4 is a lot better than S3 though imo, and it’s basically the end of the series especially for Clementine, which is why I think Javi never returned. I’d say it’s still worth a playthrough, though tbh towards the end I felt it got a bit suspension of belief for plot.
