Steam is downloading a 347 MB update. Does anyone know what it's for?
Right in the beginning of episode two, how was
Maybe the lead creatives of episode one shouldn't have left?
Clementine able to get in the house without knocking? Why was the door unlock when Claver got in? Aren't the group paranoid enough to avoid these kinds of mistakes? It's tiny details like these they're missing that are really starting to irk me.

it was a different door. That could explain it. just forgot to lock the back one but kept the front locked.

It seems like Telltale has fixed the Choices screen.
It likely fixes itself after they collect enough data.

Guys, need some help :[ I just installed the first season on my pc to start playing 400 Days...but I dont have my season one save. I had no idea it didn't have Steam Cloud saves and I'm pretty sure I lost the save files. I dont remember if I even had it installed on this pc.
Anyways, anyone know where I can look up some save files? I barely even remember all the choices you can make. Super bummed out :[

Screw this
in it's stupid ass. I've failed five times in a row.
Edit: Finally cleared it.
zombie shooting sequence

Fwlt super random. I hope TT avoids a sequence like this going forward.
Yeah I had the same thing happen to me. I lost all enthusiasm to play season 2 and I have doubts I ever will, which is sad because I really loved season 1.

Season one should have cloud saves, its how I started playing on my laptop. Did they remove them?
Season 1 shows that I have 1 or 2 MB saved in cloud storage, but when got an SSD and reinstalled Windows and started up Walking Dead Season 1 the save wasn't there.

Weird. It worked for me just fine.
Always EU PSN is last, when it comes to all 'Telltale Games' games....
Doesn't NA have this bug?
Can't play this on my 360/pc, since my WD S1 saves are in my ps3.
Hmm, i need to find something else to play this week.
There's nothing random about it,
you just need to shoot the zombies closest to you first,
Ugh!!!! Crap. Now I want to go back. Wonder how much it will affect things in the grand scheme of things? Usually TellTale always ends up in pretty much the same place.
I'm fine with that, given that was clearly the intention of the writers.
Out of all the new characters that have been introduced, Luke & Alvin are the most welcoming to me. Rebecca is probably the only character that rubs me the wrong way, but I'm unsure if she is just distrusting towards others, or if she is just a VERY cranky pregnant lady.
I still haven't made up my mind on the others just yet, but I feel more neutral towards them. I'm just wondering how Carlos has been able to shield his daughter from all the nonsense & gloom from the world, especially since the outbreak.

After playing episode 2 and getting more backstory on what's going on, it really put how they treated me in episode 1 into perspective. At least for me.
Team Luke ftw.

Gamekult review: 5/10
They've got a point. The story isn't too bad but it feels like Season 1.5, or as if Telltale was on auto-pilot. It's like they're afraid of shaking up the formula now that it's proven commercially successful.

Between the game and the show, I can't actually tell if these comments are in regards to the quality of their writing or whether they personally feel that way if they were in that situation.
So I wanted to check what everyone's feelings were on final decision.
Thoughts?
Find Kenny and Nick or give yourself up? I had to think about this one longer then other Walking Dead choices. I ultimately decided to give myself up. My friend viewed this as the coward option but I disagree. I think it would definitely be safer to go find Kenny rather than be held hostage. Besides, Kenny would have had to know they were being held in the cabin so I thought giving myself could stop a man from being tortured and buy Kenny and Nick more time to do whatever. But then again maybe not.
Thoughts?
Even though there has been longer gaps between episodes, they still feel rushed. The game doesn't have as much to do when you get a chance to free roam an environment, which doesn't feel as often.

Obviously as they're on the move, it's hard to justify the group staying in one place for long, but the FIVE DAYS LATER felt like a cheat. Season 1 was pretty good about keeping the player in a continuous time frame in the episodes themselves. Season 2 has more scene transition problems

I pretty much used the same reasoning. Having Clem
give herself up makes little sense to me when there are two able-bodied adults outside that may be able to help.

The way that I felt about it....
I thought that Carver was going to kill some people anyway, so I felt that giving myself up would cause as few casualties as possible. I also decided to run out and protect Alvin because I didn't believe Carver would shoot a child. Turns out I was right, at least this time.

I like what they are doing with those ending songs.
Solid season so far, though it certainly doesn't feel as fresh as it did season 1, and the 'thick strings' the writers are pulling are ever more obvious. Still, with all its fakeness, it's fun (and better than the tv show).

Just finished Episode 2.... I'm glad I didn't pay money for this game (it was gifted), pity I wasted my time with it.
Cant stand story games - plot driven- that are full of characters making stupid nonsensical decisions. Who the fuck write this stuff?
I would have thought that tale tale would have learnt from the first game but no.... same plot driven game.
Not to mention I had to restart it thanks to a corrupted save file.

It seems like there are more dumb character decisions in season 2 than season 1. That's another one of my frustrations so far.
Clementine saw the flashlights approaching/crossing the bridge. They should have been boarding up windows and preparing for an attack,not having dinner.

Excited for the rest of the season. I can probably guess what's going to happen in episode 3 (lots of people you like/don't like dead) but I'm curious as to what the image for episode 4 is. Clementine going native? Who are all those people she's with (don't look familiar)?
I guess we'll find out on the next Walking Feels.

Yeah, that really bothered me, too.
It was strange how nobody even mentioned the lights for a while after they met, and even stranger how they didn't ever really address that it could be an issue considered how worried they've been about Carver following them.
That image seems to be different for different people. Sometimes the guy on the left looks like Vince from 400 Days. Sometimes it looks like Kenny. The guy on the right is definitely Wyatt's friend from 400 Days.

Yeah, I can't believe Telltale didn't learn from the massive success of the first season and completely change the kind of game the second season is because you don't like it. What were they even thinking?

Except for Wolf Among Us runs like hot garbage. At least on PS3 it does. I wish it would adopt the updated Walking Dead S2 engine.
Do you guys think they will ever kill off Clementine? She's seriously the one carrying the game to make it so great, so I'm not sure. But if they ever did it would most likely be one of the biggest things in gaming (for me) if they did.
I never expected (season 1 spoiler but just being safe)
but since that happened who knows what Telltale will do.
I'd really like to see season 3 with Clem even older, like maybe 16 and season 4 having her in her 20's. Kinda like Ezio aging throughout the Ass games.

Lee to die because you play as him and he's the main character

Wouldn't be too surprised if they did,
we did have that baby zombie in the attic after all and Duck's death, so it's not like they have any inhibitions in that regard

I might be done with Telltale. Ep. 2 was so goddamn predictable, it just feels like they have to "shock" players with killing off characters and it just feels cheap and hackneyed at this point. Whereas season 1 actually had parts you could walk around and pick up items and stuff, season two has truly become nothing but a series of meaningless decisions without any control being given to the player. I honestly don't care whatever happens to anyone at this point.
I was always iffy on Telltale games, but then they sunk their hooks back in me with the Wolf Among Us, but even that was showing some serious fatigue by ep. 2 that I've just about lost all faith in Telltale ever making a decent game again. It truly seems like they don't know how to handle themselves, it's getting kind of ridiculous.

Agree. I was extremely frustrated for the same reason throughout the whole episode.
I kept telling myself why are we staying here because Clem saw lights on the bridge, that it makes no sense and was annoying me like crazy then trouble happens.
Totally agree. It's odd because I still do enjoy the games but after completion, season 2 so far has been very disappointing. I was highly anticipating it but you nailed the flaws on its head.
If people here enjoyed episode 2 like I did, go rethink and ask yourself, what did you do? It was a very short episode with little interaction at all and mostly walking and making choices even a lot of meager ones, and that's it. Season 2 has not been very substantive at all and I am extremely disappointed Telltale did not capitalize on season 1 by expanding season 2 with more interactivity, bigger environments, puzzle solving, etc., etc. Thinking about it I am starting to like this game a lot less and season 2 has been very small in all facets with Telltale hiding that with aggressive story choices.

Episode 2:
* Writing for the first part sucked hard
* Writing for the second part was fantastic
* Finally affected by the Save File Bug. The Episode III teaser showed shit that I didn't do.

Real people in real life are stupid and make nonsensical decisions all the time.
