This is the first time a game that I've actually not wanted to play a game that I'm excited for. On one hand, I really want to see how everything wraps up, but on the other, I am so god dam scared that I'm going to screw something up and someone's going to die. Anybody else have the same feeling or am I crazy?

Presenting an original story in the same franchise as the comic book series of the same name, The Walking Dead is a five-part adventure game from Telltale that follows the story of a convicted murderer, his guardianship over a young girl, and his co-operation with a roaming group of survivors in a zombie apocalypse.
Is anybody else dreading episode 5?
Nope, I'm just looking forward to playing it. It's usually really depressing to play, but I wanna see how this thing ends. Evidently ending a game is a hard thing to do :o
You can either kill all the zombies, control all the zombies, or create a combination of humans and zombies to replace them all.

Isn't this TaleTells best selling game they've ever made? I would assume they are already working on the second seasons script.
I'd also like to point out that this didn't have to be the end of The Walking Dead for you. Have you read the comic? It's fantastic. Way better than the TV show and it has the same narrative style this game does.

Clem needs to die. She has been bothing me the whole time and acting scared when I brutaklly murder someone close to us.
No.
@Landon: I believe it is, but who knows how long they would take to work on it? I think it would take them a good quarter to figure out how to outline the story, do voice acting, animate, etc.
Also, I think you and I could both agree that even though the comics and the show are superb, there's no substitute to making the decisions and choosing the responses yourself in the games.
Not dreading it, particularly. I've already mentally prepared myself for Lee--and a good part of my Clem Rescue Team--to die horribly. But if Clementine herself doesn't make it...
Fuck. I totally am dreading it now!

Oh.....fuck you.....I was not expecting a line like that. LOL respect.
i'm really looking forward to it, and i hope they have the stones to do the right thing- make it brutal, emotionally difficult, and substantial. i'm totally alright to see anyone die (EXCEPT CLEM)- and frankly i think some should. i also hope next season focuses on an entirely new cast.
edit: actually, i had a quick think, but i've decided it WOULD be okay if they take out clem. if only because it will really demonstrate tell tale's not afraid to write a very mature, realist, and ultimately depressing story- and that would signify a real achievement in videogame storytelling. death scenes are terribly sad, but they're sometimes truly beautiful. but that doesn't mean i'd enjoy it- might have to look into some antidepressants should that come to pass...
I just want Clem and Lee to live in a cottage, all happily ever after. I just want the game out already.

I bet they're going to make you choose between Clementine and Lee. Calling it!
That's really not that hard of a decision for most people I got to assume.
Well perhaps not, but I don't think there's anyone else who comes close to Clementine in terms of emotional investment for most people.

Why I think it is such an easy decision. How I've played the game since ep. 1 is Clem is my number 1 priority and fuck everything and everyone else, Lee included.
I'm totally dreading it, but not for the same exact reason as the OP. I know that no matter what, some fucked up things are going to happen in this episode. Ever since
I've realized that sometimes in this series, it doesn't matter how hard I try or nice I am, people will die.
That said, I really really hope that Kenny dies in this episode, I've been trying to get him killed since episode 1.

No.
no. once i saw that bite i resigned to the fact that i'm done for. but by god, i'm gonna do whatever i can to make sure clem's alright before that happens.
but dude, whatever happens... game of the year. nothin else came close. well maybe spec ops. that came out this year right?
sheesh, it's a good year for games that make you feel like shit.

The deal for this game was inked in early 2011, and we saw the first episode roll out in April 2012, about a year later. Assuming they have a similar development process for season 2, and assuming they get underway with it soonish, I would pencil it in to start releasing about this time next year...at the latest.
Assumptions!

In that situation, I think 0% of people will choose to keep Lee alive.
I'm looking forward to it, but I just know that me not getting that hoody for Clem back in Episode 2 is whats going to fuck everything up!
