Ok so I seem to be the only one out of my friends who has this opinion and I wanted to see if anyone felt the same as me.

The first TWD game was brilliant and it's one of my favourite games of all time. The Wolf Among Us even more so, TWAU may likely be my GOTY of 2014.

But there was something about Season 2 that just didn't feel the same. Episode 1 for instance was extremely boring. There was hardly any interesting character dialogue and it the main set piece of the Episode which was Clem stitching her arm, Which in my opinion just felt like Telltale was just like "OOHHH SHOCK VALUE!"

Episode 2 was a bit better besides the re-introduction of the worlds most unlike able character. Kenny.

And that was when after playing through it for the 4th time that I realised why I didn't enjoy Season 2 as much as their other titles. The characters were shit. Now with the exception of Luke & Alvin everyone in Season 2 acts like an asshole just so Telltale can have their big choice decision moments. Now I know in real life you're not going to get along with everyone. But in a game where character interaction and decisions matter. I couldn't give 2 fucks less about what happened to this new group because I hated all of them.

I don't hate Season 2. There quite a few good moments sprinkled in there. Such as Carver who was a fantastic villain, who they proceed the episode after you meet him.

Which brings me to my next point. Season 2 has no story goal. It has one for about 2 and a half episodes then stops. This is part of the reason why I don't enjoy the show at all. Season 1 started out with the proper introduction to the TWD world then soon after it became about the group trying to make their way to Savannah then becoming Lee trying to save Clementine from The Stranger.

Season 2 however begins with you being picked up by this new group. Then trying to escape Carver. The escape from  Carver (Which was really well done I might add) But then it just turns into the group mindlessly wandering around. This is why I hate the show. Theirs no proper goal. Now sure in a zombie apocalypse that's probably what you'd be doing. But that doesn't make an interesting gaming experience, it leaves me bored.

I still have faith however. Season 3 is going to be interesting in how it picks up your choices from earlier games. Considering there are 5 different endings (Calling that we're going to Wellington anyway) but Season 2 was just bleh. Maybe I was just too short attended about the whole thing. But I hope at some point it get's as good as the first Season was.

EDIT: I'm going to get flak for this.

I do agree it's inferior (not saying it's bad) but you also have to understand that S2 had a LOT to live up for to S1. S1 just nailed so many things and did so many right things, that trying to compete with it was going to be very hard.

I still think Clementine evolving from an innocent girl to one who understands you need to do things to survive, was handled beautifully. Though how they killed off some people just made it feel like it was rushed.

Rushed is a much better word for it. I agree Clems evolution was well done aswell. But yea I guess S1 is kind of blinding my view of it's sequel.
