Waldorf and Statler Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Oh my fucking god.. that ending. I am fucking bawling. Like tears were streaming down my cheeks. The scene of Clem having to shoot me is the hardest I've ever cried in a game. EVER. Good fucking job Telltale. Don't know where the series will go from now. But good fucking job.

Faiblesse Des Sens Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Yeah... that was some incredibly heavy shit. What was everyone's after credits scene like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 I told Christa and Omid to go wait for me near the train. Before I died I told Clem to go meet them up where we left the train. My ending involved Clem walking all alone towards a big field and sitting down. She then looks up to a hill and sees two figures walking in the distance. She's not sure who they are, but the figures notice her and look her away. Clem then acts surprised and the game ends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Rat Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 All my feels as well. Good job, Telltale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted November 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 WaS, I think I ended up doing exactly the same thing as you. Did you cut Lee's arm off? What happened to Ben and Kenny? Who killed the campman? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 My PS3 finally shipped, and while I have a few games I've been waiting to play (again), I honestly think I'll finish this series first. I need to protect Clementine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 @ Jack 1. I didn't cut Lee's arm off. Mainly because within the lore and logic of the show it was too late. If this had happened within 15 minutes of him getting bitten I would have considered it but at that point cutting off the appendage would only result in blood loss and one less arm for everything else. 2. Ben and Kenny died. Maybe not Kenny but it is 90% likely he died. Most optimistic I can be is him shooting Ben and somehow escaping the sea of zombies coming at him from both sides. but it wasn't likely. 3. If by campman you mean dad who had the car and took clementine, Clem did. I was trying to talk him out of killing me and she escaped. in the ensuing fight she took him down.

Mister Jack Posted November 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 Yup, same thing I did in all three cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Rat Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 I think one of the highlight moments for me was when the last walker was chasing Clementime. Lee was handcuffed to the radiator, while his other arm was chopped off. I was all "I gotta hit that fucker with the baseball bat" and reflexively chose "take" instead of "kick". Lee went for it with his cut off arm, forgetting it was cut off, and then realizing his other arm was handcuffed. It ended with me just kicking the bat towards Clem, but it still played out very dramatically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnine Tenshi Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 You guys keep talking about this game! FFF! Don't make me buy it! It's presently $12.49 on Steam; I wonder if it'll drop lower during the winter sale. I'd probably get it now if I hadn't just purchased three games I intend to play ASAP.

Waldorf and Statler Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 Honestly? Get it now. The game during the October sale was the same price. It probably won't go lower until Summer. And it's SO fucking worth it. Especially if you like father-daughter relationships 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Jack Posted November 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Going back through it, I really like some of the subtle touches Telltale took with episode 5 to make the player more emotionally invested. For example... When Kenny shoves you through the gate and stays behind to die, the game gives you an action icon to open the gate. It won't do you any good, though. No matter how many times you try, nothing is going to save Kenny. And also, at the very end when Lee is saying his last words to Clementine, after he imparts his advice the little "Clementine will remember that" notification comes up. It means nothing gameplay-wise since we are clearly at the end of the game, but god damn it she's going to take my words to heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Rat Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 General question, what were your last words to her and why? I told her "Don't be afraid", because I didn't want to break her heart more with something like "I'll miss you". I actually had notifications off, but I still figured "what you say now is what she'll remember forever". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted November 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 "Find Omid and Christa," "You're strong, Clem." "Stay away from cities." "Don't be afraid." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Basically the same as Jack. Apparently we need to be butt-buddies since we made all the same choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Finally got through the last two episodes, and most of my choices weren't the "popular" ones, but then again one of my "unpopular" choices from before benefited me. Looking at the stats site, here's a rundown of my decisions: I killed the zombie boy I was rational and honest with Vernon I didn't bring Clem with me to Crawford (Seriously, I'm going to raid a camp that kills children, so yeah I'll leave her with a gun in a fortified mansion!) I let Ben fall. (I'm very sympathetic, but at the same time Ben actually was letting go and wanted to be sacrificed. Combine that with the MANY times he has failed me... I let him fall.) I hid my bite. (Knowing Kenny, I wanted the group to focus on Clementine. I knew I would have later chances to explain, and I did.) I kept my arm. (Like W&S said, I knew the lore, and even then I knew too much time had past and losing an arm was going to do more harm.) I didn't lose my temper. (Serious, we were in a bad enough decision and seeing that I could grab the bust... Sometimes when you grab things, it's hit and miss (Vernon's gun... I thought reaching out to it would kill me... BUT NOPE!)) I surrendered my weapons... eventually. (I tried to keep a hold of the cleaver, but when the guy was suspicious, I didn't want to risk getting shot in the back.) Clem killed the stranger (Awesome scene if you ask me. "She wouldn't hurt a fly... ARGH!!! Yeah, I told Clem to get the cleaver. ) I told Clem to leave Lee. To go into a little detail of that scene... She had already been through so much, I talked her into remembering me for who I was alive. Truth be told I also wanted her to save the bullet, but with how much she went through leading to the point, she could have left me and been safe. I told her to keep on the move, and that I would miss her. I had already told her how brave and capable she was, I wanted to say a good-bye. I left her in the care of Omid and Christa, and while I wanted them to go to the countryside... I didn't select the option for them to meet up at the train. I though, "Well, that's where all the Walkers came from!" The generic, "We'll find each other somewhere" option was too unpredictable, but at the same time I didn't think they could find a boat. Still, I told them to go along the river and find a boat. Hey, it's possible Vernon and his very small (and sickly) group didn't set out in time. Oh, and while I knew Christa was pregnant, she never actually affirms it to Lee, but before you cross the sign, Lee talks about her being preggers. Like, Kenny figured it out, but there was no indication to Lee because Christa kept saying there was "nothing." Oh, and everyone gets the same cutscene after the credits.

Cyber Rat Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 (edited) I actually cut off the arm despite knowing it was too late according to lore. Mostly because I didn't want to meta-game and knew Lee and the others had no idea about said "lore".

CorgiShinobi Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Even if the game is currently $37.49 on Amazon, Survival Instinct looks like the definition of a rental game. To me, I'd like to see what was done, but honestly I think paying a few bucks at Redbox is just enough for curiosity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luftwaffles Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Looks the definition of generic right now. Like one of those Cabela's Dangerous Hunts games, except with zombies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
