Learn What Horrible Choices Players Made in The Walking Dead's Season Finale

I was the complete opposite of most if not all of those choices. Weird.

He only continues to pass out if you keep the arm. If you cut off the arm he stops having his little feinting spells so it does help.

What the hell, that's bollocks. Fuck this game then.

Holy shit, I didn't even think to use those handcuffs on the zombie.

My Lee was solo at the start of ep 5, so i had him cut off his own arm. Lee is hardcore.

I wanted to see the animation and dialog for it. Pretty good stuff.

Most of my decision were like that though. I wasn't all that invested in the story or characters after ep 3.

They left out the most horrible decision a player could make; playing the last episode before it got patched and in so doing erasing all previous progress.

Well.. either way, if you cut off his arm, at the end it's pretty much implied that if you leave Lee alone, then he's going to die of blood loss and return as a zombie anyway..

Personally I cut off Lee's arm, thinking he would make it out okay. Then... the ending..dammn. I wish they did another statistic to fill out the following table:

I think these percentages would be interesting.

Huh. Clemetine's Brooklyn Sweater really bothered me, in that video. Took me a while to figure out which choice lead to that.

PARADOX.

Oof. Most of those aren't the choices I made, including the last one. But man, that last one's still rough.

I'm still confused by people who say things like "the choices were always perfect - the thing I wanted to say or do was always one of the choices!" and "the choice was always represented perfectly in the description". I call BULLSHIT on both. I found that most of the time, what I clicked on was not at all what it suggested it would be. I'd end up coming across like a jerk or pissing someone off, simply because what the character said had no bearing on what the option I clicked on claimed he was going to say. And I found that the thing I wanted to do was almost NEVER one of the choices.

Also, I still demand that the second season of Walking Dead be DIFFERENT PEOPLE, ENTIRELY. That's what I wanted from day-one. I want each season to be a new scenario with new people and new events. Not just following the same tired cast on and on and on. If they aren't smart enough to figure out that's the way to go with this; if they make the second season "And now, we follow Clem on her own, as she encounters a new group of people and shit happens", then they're going to burn away a lot of the affection and respect people had for the first season.

Eh, I don't know. I feel like introducing a new group is just an easy way for them to recycle a bunch of the tropes and ideas that were already recycled in this season. At least if they pick it back up with an older, hardened Clementine they're open to something new and different. And I think you're wrong about what people want from this. People are definitely attached to Clem.

Whattt?!? Who would make clem shoot lee?

man, I got all teared up at the end of this video! This game really got to me.

Only two of those I did the same.

@alibson: Yeah because by doing that I totally took away Lee's ability to dual wield.

A shame it wasn't Giant Bomb's too.

Giant Bomb gave it 4 GOTY awards.

I don't think you know what I mean by "GOTY".

Who cares? The Walking Dead got it's own fucking category! lol

This was more or less exactly how my game went.

I must be a horrible human being because I didn't really care. The game started good, but the longer the series went on, the more obvious it was that the choices were superficial and that the developers tried to guilt me into feeling bad with cheap tricks, such as killing people off randomly and somehow making me responsible.

And then there's of course the whole "zombie" thing which is a dumb concept to begin with, but hey.

not shooting him was a better ending; much less cliched

The majority of people cut off Lee's arm AND had Clem shoot him? You are all monsters. Both of those choices seem unnecessary in the game...but then again that's my opinion. Did cutting off the arm have any benefit?

There are two non-dialogue choices that after the episode I felt a little cheated by, but I've sort of come around on them.

The first was

Second was

At least I got to see what happened. My save file corrupted after the end of episode 4.

I know this is a commercial, but don't watch this if you haven't played the game. It's full of spoilers.

I also know how few people will read this. Oh well.

Didn't see a GiantBomb logo at the end.

I didn't cut Lee's arm off, and I don't think I could finish the game if I did. Looks so comically ridiculous without it.

There are a lot of fun lines and stuff about it, actually. Like Kenny is constantly bringing it up. "Should we really have the one armed guy do this?" and such. I thought it was cool not having it.

I actually had no idea that you could restrain the zombie.

R.I.P. LEE.

Well this has no emotional impact because Clem is dressed completely wrong... hmph...

I'll Miss You, Clem D':

Clem's whimper at the end ruined my day.

I'm welling up just watching this and remembering that episode. Makes you want to call family and say hi.

@tristenkw5: She already knows how to use a gun and defend herself.

Yeah, she already knows how to shoot at zombies, BUT, does she know how to shoot those who she actually cares for? It's a zombie apocalypse. Sometimes you just gotta finish the job onto the ones you love.

Shows how people play differently. I never made anyone shoot someone they loved if I could help it or do it for them. Making her handcuff Lee was like Lee doing it for Clem.

I didn't know it was going to be available on disc before this. Might make a good gift.

Seeing all this information makes me realize how my playthrough was so much different than practically everyone else's. I also wasn't expecting the end of the trailer to hit me as hard as it did, it's like I just went through it all again. I'm pretty sure this game gave me PTSD.

Man. Broke my heart all over again.

Yeah, it's weird that this is edited like a commercial. You've bought the game already , but we won all these awards so buy another copy why don't ya.

Still curious about the final stats. Looks like I was in the majority on everything except for that final decision.

@HibikiRush: the data varies though. For those of us who tend to finish the episode shortly after it comes out the percentages can change by the time these videos come out. I enjoy seeing them.

You always keep the arm.

I just finished the game today and I ended up on the minority side a lot. I thought Kenny was the best choice to take Clem because he valued family over everything, which not many people agreed with, also I couldn't believe so many people made Clem shoot Lee. I just couldn't do that.

This data was available to anyone that finished the game... kind of pointless to make a video for it.
