I just (finally) after working up the patience to replay Episode 1 and 2 again, finished the season (Still can't believe that save deletion bug never got fixed...).
I really really enjoyed it. I would have liked Episode 3 to have a little bit of a grander scale, but Episode 4 was so perfect.
I told AJ to kill Lily, which led to a confrontation with James. He gets left with a pretty mysterious ending. Holy shit Minerva. What an insane "final boss" sequence.
While I'm obviously happy that Clem survives in the end, as I was playing through the Barn Sequence, slowly transitioning over to AJ as Clem became less and less able, I became at peace with the idea. Watching AJ realise how hard he has to work to protect himself without Clem there to help and protect him... It was extremely moving. Top notch job to the animators on that front, as most of that sequence has no dialogue at all. The Walking Dead games should leave me feeling not too happy, not too sad, but a mixture of both. The main thing it needs to make me feel, is vulnerable, and they nailed that.
Rewinding to episode 3, I really enjoyed the scene where James tells you to go into the barn with the walkers. I really wasn't expecting a commentary on what it means to be human but we sure got it, and it was presented really well. The way that walker tells the other walker off for pushing into you. Chills.
Finally, I'm really glad whoever was there to make the decisions gave the Still Not Bitten team the go ahead to sign the game off in the corridor like that. It was wonderful.
Overall, while I've grown to dislike the TV show quite a bit. I will dearly miss the Telltale Walking Dead games for a very long time. I've never played a single one of the games through a second time, so I'm looking forward to doing that in a couple of years time.
For Clementine <3.
