Walking Dead: Season One Comes to a Close With its Fifth and Final Episode

Wow, Ben looks a lot different than the last time I saw him.

Strange how they went from making detective stories involving an adorable dog and bunny, to a bloody tale about the distraught heart in man.

In retrospect, shit, indeed, got real.

@SuperSambo: I think you may have misunderstood what they were talking about, that scene I think you're referring to is always with Clementine (...trying to avoid spoilers). The scene with Christa in the dark room is in the middle of the episode, and apparently only shows up if you dropped Ben in episode four.

I totally missed the scene with Christa waking up in a dark room. What happened??!!

You have to have dropped Ben in ep 4 to get it. It's instead of the Kenny/Ben/Balcony thing.

What?

I dropped Ben in ep 4 and got something with Clem.

Of course I dropped Ben. A decision had to be made.

Game was good, some things don't make sense to me but overall the game was good. I don't understand why they don't show Ben and Kenny dying graphically. It makes me think they are still alive... And that cliff hanger at the end isn't too cool.

And the people who say this isn't much of a game.... This is just as much of a game as Mass effect was. I'm glad it didn't have pointless shooting.

This game is my GOTY.

I dropped Ben too. I kept giving him chances and all that asshole did was lose Clem every cance he got. I didn't drop him to appease Kenny. I did it because I thought the guy was dead weight. I assumed it was the popular decision until I saw the end game stats. What an amazing game.

The final achievement should be called, "Onions, onions everywhere!"

@dyong It's half off on Steam right now ($12.50), and on PSN there is a season pass option that gets you the game for $20. $25 anywhere else and a physical copy is coming out next month.

Episodic games done right!

@Alex: You saved him? I let him drop like a bad habit.

Seen!

This is probably my favourite story ever told in a game, and most certainly has my fav character (Clem, duh!)

@dyong said:

So it's $10 an episodes for 5 episodes? I guess now I can get the whole story without waiting for each episode.

It's actually $5 per episode, which is a pretty damn awesome pricepoint.

@smiddy: Agreed! Especially after he took the axe holding the door! God damn it, Ben!

Hello.

I, too, have just finished it.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go find more Kleenex.

Finally I can get Kenny killed. Can't stand that dude.

The poor sod lost both his wife and son in less than two minutes! You cruel cold-hearted bastard!

Nah, I feel what he's saying. I helped Kenny through every single one of his family problems, but didn't side with him on like two things and he left me hanging last episode. So, no Kenny drama in the finale for me, it would seem... maybe?

Man, I disagreed with him on almost every point. I made it my goal to get him to hate me. And yet, at the end of 4, he decided to come with me because we were suddenly the best of friends. thefuck?

That's crazy. I don't get what they did with Kenny's scripting, but it sounds like he makes the most random choices. Guess he is supposed to do whatever the opposite of any sane person would do.

Also just finished it. God damn.

As a whole, I feel comfortable saying these games were the best story experience I've ever had with a game.

Just finished it. GOD DAMN.

I think I might have set a record time for making a decision in the Walking Dead game when I chose to drop Ben.

That dude fucked up one too many times.

@WMoyer83: I can't remember the last time I cried so hard.

LOL, I haven't even played any of the Walking Dead, but a few weeks ago I watched the video decisions breakdown for Episode 4, and read Patrick's article/interview on Episode 4.

And this is so hype!! xD Almost wish I got on the bandwagon sooner, definitely going to play through it once this term is over.

Ben doesn't look steeley, he looks fucking dead to me. Good riddance!

I just dialed #ForClementine and it could not be completed as dialed. What's up with that Telltale?

@WMoyer83 said:

Just finished it. This game really dug deep into my emotions. Game of the year.

Yup. Like holy shit.

God damn. This episode...

My god damn emotions.

End of this week or upcoming weekend I believe.

No, today on PSN. Tomorrow on 360 and PC.

Where's the best place to repeatedly hit F5 for the 360 version, do you think? "Tomorrow", given time zones and things, it pretty vague, and I'll be around to play it the minute it comes out, probably.

I can't wait to play this tonight, my game of the year thus far.

Can't wait, gonna make me feel horrendous to play it. However, Clementine must be saved.

Ben? I freaking let that liability die. Forget him.

gonna skip 4th one and play this

i cant wait, even though its going to be sooo fucking sad.

You sound like those monsters from Crawford.

Oh God, this game has changed me!

I wonder if there will be some way (on 360) to modify things to allow for Ep 5 playthroughs with some of the other combinations of characters. I have everyone but Kenny, but I'd kinda like to play out the different scenarios without having to go through all the previous episodes trying to make all the decisions I need to specifically to end up with a particular group.

Man I really hope it doesn't end on a total downer.

Reviews are out.

I dropped Ben like a sack of whiny potatoes in Episode 4. That guy was a liability.

Steely and determined? In my playthrough he looks DEAD!

I get the feeling I'll be blubbering like a fool at the end of this one.

When is it coming out?

well, in my first play through, i am going to be doing it all on my own. ben died in crawford after i let him go, kenny can go fuck himself, and those other two characters decided not to tag along.
