I have this EXACT same problem. I understand there are reasons, both in and out of universe (in-universe, to show that the zombie apocalypse is bleak; out of universe, because it makes coding easier), but it all just feels so pointless. Is it too much to ask that ONE person you save makes it through to the end of the game?

(Anonymous) 2014-08-15 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I really, really hate the "it makes coding easier" thing. I mean, I understand the sentiment, because coding can be a bitch and a half. But it just comes across as so fucking lazy. Like, you'll sacrifice some really dynamic aspects of a game and insist on a rewrite because you don't wanna do the job you were hired to do? Fuck you, you entitled brat.

There's this thing called a budget.

(Anonymous) 2014-08-16 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
ayrt

I'm not talking about budgetary concerns, though. I'm talking about coders not wanting to do some things because it's difficult. For example, the coders working on Bioshock Infinite repeatedly asked to cut Elizabeth from the game because they were finding it "too hard" to program her. Now, you can say what you want about that game -- lots of people don't like it and their criticisms tend to be spot-on -- but I think you can agree that, to cut her, the game would have had to be completely redone and rewritten, which isn't exactly a cost effective way to do things.

Sarah's death pissed me off tbh.
It just seemed like a HUGE waste of possible character development. Sarah's ark could of been her coping and trying to survive in the zombie apocalypse without her only family. I mean Clem even showed her how to shoot a gun, just like how Lee showed her back in season 1. Sarah showed initiative to learn how to shoot a gun, Sarah wanted to learn about what her dad was keeping from her. And Sarah knew how to hide and keep quiet from Carver because she was reliable to an extent, she wasn't completly useless like everyone likes to claim. It just kinda seemed like it was building up to that, like maybe Clem was going to help Sarah overcome her tragedy and finally grow up.
But nope! She dies anyway because who gives a flying flapjack. Certainly not the people at Telltale that's for sure.

The choices change who helps you in the end though, right? Like in the first one, If Lee was enough of an asshole, no one joined him? But yeah, I agree and I wish Sarah could have been saved, even though she really wasn't capable of handling the apocalypse (and I mean, she was irritating but I think a lot of people would have handled it the exact same way).

Jane and Luke joining the six inch deep club was pretty werid to me too.
Like, did one of them have a spare condom or something...?
I mean Jane goes on and on about how being pregnant is going to slow the group down and make everything dangerous (and well, she is right.) So it seems really werid that she'd hook up with some guy she's only known for like, a day, knowing the risks and consequences.
Idk maybe she's infertile or something.

Not in the fandom, but there's fairly common methods of contraception that last for 5 years, so if it's less than 5 years after the zombie apocalypse started, she could be fine for a while yet.

I thought she just gave him a bj or something.

I agreed about the decisions not really mattering thing. It's been more than a little grating for the past two episodes. I seem to remember Season One being better about that - you could actually choose to save someone who would stay alive for a while, or have a reasonably important branching point between your game and someone else's.

But I don't get the Jane/Luke complaint. Who said they had penile-vaginal intercourse? Nobody.

Sarah is meant to be a foil for Clem. The kind of person who can't survive in a zombie apocalypse vs the kind of person who can.

(Anonymous) 2014-08-16 10:04 am (UTC)(link)
The people who can survive should be helping and protecting the people who can't, like Sarah. Otherwise you end up with a world full of selfish assholes and nothing else. Quality of life is just as important as quantity.

(Anonymous) 2014-08-16 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Not when it puts their own lives in danger too. Better one person dead than a whole group of people who were trying to protect that one person.

(Anonymous) 2014-08-16 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
Holy shit, did I write this secret in my sleep? I've been getting pretty annoyed lately too about how your decisions really don't matter, they just prolong other characters' deaths.

I couldn't stand Sarah after a while. I'm glad she's gone, although it sucks that the bit of character development she did get, went to waste.

As for Jane and Luke hooking up, hey, loners get horny too. Plus we don't know the details. Maybe she had protection, maybe she just gave Luke a blow job, or any other non-vaginal-penetrating thing. We just don't know, so I don't see it as being OOC.
