Episode 2: A House Divided Impressions?


Recommended Posts

I just completed The Walking Dead: Season 2 - Episode 2 - A House Divided. Wow. What an episode. I'm obviously not going to spoil the major events in the episode, but overall I thought it was a really great episode to build up for Episode 3: In Harm's Way.

Somebody, who thought to have died, returns (if you've played Season 1 of The Walking Dead), as well as we are introduced to this Season's main antagonist, Carver, voiced by Michael Madsen (Reservoir Dogs, Kill Bill, etc.), who I thought did a very excellent job playing as the villain. He's very quiet and calm, but a very sadistic son of a b*tch.

Impressions?

I didn't care for the beginning...

 

I dunno if it's any different if you save Pete, but having saved nick you end up in a shack where Clem and Nick are holding a door against 3 walkers which they wouldn't be strong enough to do, and then nick walks away and clem holds it herself which is even worse, and then he puts a box of apples which holds off the 3+ walkers. That was a really dumb sequence.

 

The rest of the episode was good tho.

I thought it was fantastic. The last sequence of the episode was truly intense and unnerving. It also seemed like it was more around 2 hours than the barely 1 hour first episode, but I didn't count. It just felt a lot more like a full episode, if that makes sense.  I was really pleased with this episode!

Story was pretty decent with some good surprises.

 

Damn game froze on me twice though. Seems like Telltale still can't get their engine right, I've experienced similar problems with Season 1 and Wolf Among Us.

I'll make sure stay away from their Game of Thrones game until it has a hefty sale. The quality of their games (technically speaking) isn't worth the price tag + the multiple month-long wait for episodes.

Me too. I always hopping that this episode won't be very short. But, glad it didn't since I able to enjoy more of playing this.

 

8/10

loved this episode... one of the best IMO... impression:

 

 

I could swear a tear or maybe tears fell when Kenny and Clem reunited... but somehow more surprised to see Bonnie... immediately got suspicious to her when she said she had a family...I knew that she's already lying which is somehow contradict to 400 days... where it is mentioned that she always tell the truth... It is also strange that I don't like Kenny like I used to like him in first season... :( anyway.. what a cliffhanger and can't wait for the next episode

You liked Kenny in season one?! I felt bad for him, but I felt like Lee constantly had to make sure Kenny wasn't flying off the deep end and messing stuff up or killing people. At least now he seems to be a little more balanced! I'm not saying I blame him, episode three of season one was one of the most unpleasant scenes I've ever played, but I didn't really care for Kenny most of the time! lol. I thought the same thing about Bonnie, but I wasn't sure when 400 Days actually took place when compared to the timeline of Lee and Clem's story... Maybe she had a family before 400 days but it did make me really suspicious. Now at least we know that the lady who "saves" them at the end was part of Carver's group. It'll be interesting to see who else turns up in Episode Three. I'm stoked!

well.. I like Lee and Kenny's loyalty to one another (well... at least in my options chosen in first season)... you know, Lee is there for Kenny in E3 and Kenny's support for Lee in E5... anyway... with regards to Bonnie, I am not the theory type of guy but considering what we saw in 400 days, "IF" Bonnie had a family before DAY 220, it somehow shows that she has moved on considering how she interacts with Leland and Dee during her game play in... after that I am doubting she and Leland had that long relationship since it shows that between day 220 to 400, Leland abandoned her then managed to meet the other 5 characters... so that's why I have made suspicious that she's lying during S2E2... anyway... I really don't want to think about this much because my mind would just be blown and I will just wait patiently and let TT surprise/amaze me ^_^
