For one thing, I feel that it went for a more cinematic experience, watering down the sections where you were able to get to know characters and explore subtle choices in favor of jumping from one action/death scene to the next.

I quite liked some of the new characters in the first two episodes, but they're never given the time to really stop and breath, and allow us to form any connection to them. The heart of season one was the development of Clem's relationship with Lee, and nothing really fills that void.

It comes down to two things, I think: That Clementine is not a strong lead, and that she has no emotional anchor. Clementine is a child. She's an unusually capable child, but her role in the story is predominantly screaming for everyone else to stooooop fiiiighting. There's not much player agency to that.

Second she never has anyone to build a bond with, so the story feels desperate and empty. They try to force it all in in the two Kenny endings, but that still leaves five episodes of "I am literally the only stable person left in the apocolypse and I am crying."

>>321848963
I thought episode one did a decent job of portraying Clem's limitations as a child. She wasn't as strong, but she was quick and able to reach things that others couldn't. People looked down on her, but also underestimated her.

But as time went on there wasn't much difference between Clem's role and Lee's. She's strong enough to kick doors in by episode four and she practically carries the rest of the group when she's the only one with any sense of rational thinking.

I can't believe how lame Luke became by the end of the season.
He seemed cool in the first two episodes, but then after that...?
Not to mention that his character went nowhere.
>>
>>321848410
Season 1 writers left
Clementine as the playable protagonist was a terrible idea
>>
>>321848410
I would have forgiven a lot more if they hadn't killed nearly everyone off at the end and left some hope of being able to continue developing characters for season 3.

Nick, Sarah, and Pete, were the only members of the new group I developed any investment in, and they all have a bridge dropped on them as soon as it looked like they might be getting an important role.

That was really more a change of tone than a missing scene.

>>321849605
I thought Luke was okay at the start, but you're not given much of a chance to get to know him until the end. And by that point all I wanted was an option to call him out for shirking his watch in favor of having sex with Jane.

I really started to sympathise with him in ep 2.
I can't believe how horribly wasted he was.
He had maybe one or two lines with Kenny in ep 3 and then died off-screen in ep 4.

The lack of an emotional anchor sums up a lot of it. I think episode 1 of the first season had more scenes of Lee and Clem bonding than Clem was able to have with most characters throughout the entire second season.
>>
>>321848963
The Camper Scene was so great.
It's quiet, peaceful, but at the same time ominous as all hell. It really makes you understand that things are about to break down completely. Too bad that the process of said breaking down happening is just very subpar. It's not a result of a natural conclusion regarding the members of the group's motivations, it literally happens because one character decided it was time to check wether or not another would emotionally break when prodded enough.

Because Clem is a 12 year old that's not a 12 year old girl

Just because of plot reasons, fucking Carver treats her like some war hero or whatever, and people ask for HER HELP

What?
That's mentally retarded

She's a little girl, and this is never touched upon, in any fucking way

She just as might be 25 in season 2, that's how shit the writing is

I'll draw a parallel with Lee
Lee was black
It wasn't the point of his character or the focus BUT it was a part of Lee as a person, like when Kenny makes that remark and how some people react to him

That's good writing
Season 2 is pure shit
>>
>>321850675
400 days only gave us one character who was a completely emotional unstable bitch that they try to make you feel sorry for, but ruins everything with her selfishness if you don't try to get youself killed. which still results in getting Luke killed no matter what you do.

If there IS a season 3 Kenny or Jane are gonna die at the beginning, or die right before. Even if they don't die they aren't getting an important role in the story and will show up like once so they don't have to put any effort into story customization.

Season one had plenty of choices that were streamlined in the end, but it did so much better in making it Feel like you made an impact on things.

Even if Carley/Doug dies, they still offered divergent scenes and interactions for two episodes. And the relationships with Kenny and Lilly were always shifting depending on your actions. By comparison, characters in season 2 were generally going to hate or love you regardless of what you've said.

Purely unrepentant garbage. It's an experience of not only having the player's actions have no choice in shaping the story, but also of said actions having no effect in the overall progression of the story in the first place.

It's not, say, like Wolf Among Us where your actions drive the investigation and you slowly set things right, Game of Thrones is a constant exercise of grinding the player's face into the dirt and screaming about how you have ultimately no power and are meaningless as a character. And the one, ONE singular victory you achieve over the course of four episodes gets undone before the end of the same episode.

I don't think it was a bad as walking dead season 2 got, but I usually say it was just okay.

It was pretty obvious when your choices were being herded one way or another, and it had a bad habit of using canon characters for fan-service, to the point where one of the main villains was from the source material, and thus unkillable regardless of how arbitrary his actions were.

I was hoping for Clem, Sarah, and Becca interactions at Carver's camp to be a thing.

It would have been an interesting way of actually using Clem's age, having her interact with a younger group and showing how they all represented different outcomes of growing up during the apocalypse.

Hell, the Saint Johns were more subtle, because you get a sense of who they once were and that they actually cared for each other as a family.

Aside from Clem, who's practically a blank slate, and the old dude who dies in the first episode, I don't think there was a single likable character in the entire season. It really doesn't help that your first interaction with the cabin group is them locking a little girl in a shed because they're afraid of her. Your pool of characters starts off shitty, and just gets worse as the season goes on, then they're all butchered by the end, and you're right back to square one, except you have a black baby now.

As a whole, Tales From the Borderlands was great, but episode 5 was a huge misstep.
Apart from the insanely stupid ending (yeah yeah I know it's likely leading to BL3 or Season 2, but even beyond that it was just poorly handled), a bunch of smaller things about ep. 5 really annoyed me.

Didn't really mind it. The gift had been introduced long enough beforehand that I was alright with it having some use, and the overall tone was fine for a more uplifting ending than another tragic death.

Yeah alright, but most of the robot fight was over-the-top. I can accept that it was slow at getting the base destroyed.

>Handsome Jack's final scene
What was wrong with it? I thought it was a decent final confrontation.

>Loader bot somehow survived
Eh, he's a durable robot. If any of the massive space station survived, I could accept that he made it long enough to transfer bodies.

If I were to critique something, it'd be that Athena's dramatic departure didn't have much of a followup, as they never really elaborate on her kidnapping outside of the Pre-sequel.

It was still a complete copout/Deus Ex Machina which is weak storytelling even in the best of circumstances. Not to mention she shouldn't have even survived the explosion.

>most of the robot fight was over-the-top
I guess but considering the traveller did end up smacking the laser near the end of the fight it's still a little weird that he didn't earlier on.

>What was wrong with it? I thought it was a decent final confrontation.
I mean the final scene, when you see him in the wrecked office of Jack, the writing just seemed really unfocused.

It's like half of the writers wanted to try and make Jack sympathetic, and the other half wanted to keep him obviously villainous, so you just get a weird mix of the two.
I'm all for moral ambiguity, but I don't know something about that scene made me feel like the writers themselves were confused.

I guess I liked Sasha enough that I was willing to overlook losing out on gritty realism in favor of what we got. It was more realistic when everyone died in Walking Dead season 2, but that didn't make it more satisfying.

> it's still a little weird that he didn't earlier on.
He did have Gortys and the rest of the group to deal with most of the time. Arguing that the monster wasn't the best tactician isn't the worst plot hole I've seen.

>It's like half of the writers wanted to try and make Jack sympathetic, and the other half wanted to keep him obviously villainous

That's kind of been Jack's thing from the start. He's clearly crazy, but his story was always about thinking he was the hero, because "the path to Hell is paved with good intentions"and all that.

I could see why it'd be hard to swallow considering the rest of his psychotic actions, but I thought he was a fun enough villain.

I'd be angrier if The Wolf Among Us ended on more of a cliffhanger.

Of course I'd have been happier if season 2 was announced as opposed to Batman, but I was still fairly satisfied with where they ended it.

Is the humor the selling point?

One thing that always bugs me about Telltale games, why are the eyes always so big?

I know eyes can be really expressive, but it just doesn't look right.

I haven't played TFTB yet, but you're saying its ending was better than TWAU? That was the perfect hook for a potential S2.

I understand that they couldn't skip ahead due to having to stay in the comic's timeline, but they could have lead to better interactions with her being a child in that situation. I forget all the time that she's younger then my siblings and its weird.

Jesus, the writing was so lazy this season. It made me feel like I was playing a child's game with some of the 'puzzles'. Even the fucking wind turbine could have been made more interesting had they not half-assed it.
>we need to turn off this wind turbine
>shit, we keep the key inside the lodge for safety
>clem, you're too small to properly handle the weapons we have, go inside the cabin and find the key
>you have a time limit to find the key before the lodge is overrun
That's not much better but it could have caused some sort of urgency, better then what they fucking gave us.

>'You're dad isn't going to hurt anyone Sarah, isn't that right Carlos? You won't do anything bad or...not nice."
Fuck, I thought that would make Carlos some sort of murdering machine and that would have been great. Sarah accidentally walking in and seeing that her father was more then capable of murder or that he had hurt someone she knew/care about before to escape the camp could have been great.

Does the season 2 disc I bought have every episode on it? Better not be some fucking download code.

I pirated the first episode and it's non stop cringe.

Man, I feel bad for anyone that tried to play S2 and didn't have a few characters they enjoyed, because otherwise there would be no other reason to play it. It felt like they had all these interesting elements and ideas they could have used, but in the end they all just fell flat instead. Playing as a child could have worked for an interesting story in a zombie apocalypse, but just like every writer no one seems to understand how to write children properly. As another anon stated, Clem was more like an adult in a child's body. There were a few moments when the kid part of her were present, but never during any of the important parts. If they could have made her even into a young teen it wouldn't maybe have been so jarring.
What sucks the most, of course, is the lack of your choices having any sort of impact. The only one that really felt like it mattered was the last ones, where you choose sides and that staying at Wellington/Kenny or the allowing the family in. But with how the record has been, those choices will end up being for nothing when S3 rolls in. If we're Clem then we will have a moment where we see Kenny;_;/Jane killed, and then everyone will have the same story again. That's why, when S3 comes I'm going to watch the first episode online before buying it.

Is Lee the best black protagonist of all time?

>>321869931
Better then most protagonist I've played as.
>>
>>321848410
Clementine a cute. CUTE!
>>
Who had the worst wasted potential in S2, aside from Clem? I feel like Nick would be right up there, he could have done so much more. And I am still mad that Sarah didn't do shit with the gun after I showed her how to use it.
>>
>>321869931
He is the best black protag because he is just a player insert wich is going to be some white dude.
>>
>>321870852
As it should be, unless I'm playing as MLK or some shit, I don't need to be constantly reminded that my character (or the others) are black. If that is one thing TellTale did right with S2 was that. Some anons might feel like the cast was diverse for the sake of diversity, but it never really stood out or became a plot point and that was great.
>>
>>321848410

Because Season 1 sucked too.

What's the point of playing a game where choices don't matter? Go watch Walking Dead on TV.
>>
Because Season 1 sucked too.
>>
>>321871614
Fuck the TV show, those characters are just begging to die.
>>
>>321850183

They shafted him because they didn't want him to be important past episode 2. Because he can die in episode 2, and making it so that choice matters would be just too dang difficult for a company for make games that are pretty exclusively about choices.
>>
Season 2 sucked because they were working on three different projects. Telltale are doing waaaay too much. The talent that made twd season 1 is still inside the company.
>>
>>321848410
Clementine needed to be older. They fucked up when they made her a preteen. She should have been at least highschool age. The fact that she was a child was really limiting.
>>
>>321871890
Read the comic. Rick is still alive and well after 149 issues.

One of the few redeeming qualities of Jane is that she almost killed that stupid baby.

Episode 4 was rewritten to hell and back and ended up being real shit.

>>Sasha's revival (seriously, fuck that so hard)

that seriously made no goddamn sense, i think they were going for something with that thing and totally forgot about it half through the game and remembered it in the last minute.

>>the traveler didn't immediately try breaking the Helios laser, despite it clearly being the only thing that can actually destroy him
that's not that hard to ignore since he was fighting and if i remember correctly he actually goes for the laser when the laser misses.

>>the final scenes with Handsome Jack
the last scene was alright, what is wrong about it?
>>Loader bot somehow survived Helios crashing into Pandora (??????)
plot armor, even that other mercenary survived

>>321871401
It takes place in the south, there's gonna be a lot of black people. The only one that might be a reach is omid.
>>
>>321873008
I wasn't complaining about the cast, in fact I enjoyed that they weren't afraid to stray in that category without shoving it in your faces. Just like with gay characters, it seems like a lot of writers enjoy pushing those aspects as character traits rather then just being a part of the character themselves.

>most potential
Nick and Sarah still felt the most definitive to me. They both had potential character arcs established through their flaws and familial relationships, and they were the closest to forming a natural friendship with Clem after both ended up losing their only family.

The story would have endeared itself to me more if it was about managing to form a new family with these people despite everything you all had been through.
>>
>>321874935
I'm aware. I'm saying that where the game ended things it didn't close on too much of a cliffhanger.
>>
>>321875005
I agree, Sarah would have made one of the more believable connections with Clem thanks to her age, and they could have worked Nick into that too some how as Clem being one of the few who doesn't consider him a constant fuck up.

>>321865454
I liked TWAU's ending, but there was something about Tales from the Borderlands that really resonated with me in a full-circle adventure kind of way.

This reminds me that I can't recall Clem having one conversation with Carlos outside of the first episode.

Either they forgot that they ever had a plan for his character, or season 2 suffered constant rewrites.

Lee died, and he was a cool character, so that alone fucked the franchise's shit up, and turned game into Daugherfu fodder. Also, she was already old in chapter too, which also deprived us of watching a loli surviving the zombie apocalypse, which also sucked ass.

They pretty much gutted the series of what made it good in season 1
>>
>>321848410
You were playing as Clementine.
>>
>>321877841
Aside from him telling Clem to watch out for Sarah, there wasn't much. I was prepared for papa-bear mode to come out or something, like when he was supposed to slap Sarah.
>>
>>321869931
I love that the only way to get a final answer as to whether or not he was a murderer pre-walkers is to choose a specific set of dialogue options in the confrontation with The Stranger. Otherwise, that shit is completely ambiguous.
>>
>>321848410
I bought season 2 over christmas cause I had free time to play it
it is half the content of season 1 and also poor story
you can't make decisions that matter at all
for example
try to kill the ukrainian cripple

it isn't possible
>>
>>321879515
I think it's implied to be a crime of passion regardless, but the line Lee can have about his wife with the stranger was some really good dialogue for him. Easy to miss too.
