I love how the decision to let Ben go or save him is the theme of the Episode: Crawford. Letting Ben die is literally like the people in Crawford, who abandon people who could endanger the Group. So if you're against Crawford and letting Ben die, it's a very well-placed hypocrisy. this episode is very good.
the difference is Crawford murdered people before they ever had a chance to prove themselves. Ben was given plenty of chances, and he just couldn't stop fucking up. it's tragic, but he actively got people killed, so it's more cruel to let him stay with us.
@@jonrice3967 not really. Even Lee say so that Ben situation is Just like Crawford when you defend Ben. Besides, this mindset IS what leds to a Group Fall apart and you Ending alone
@oprofeta6408 im all for giving everyone ample opportunity to prove they can carry their weight and letting sick or dying people stay in the group as long as they don't actively get others hurt or killed. im not saying you should kill Ben, but he needed to at least be kicked out of the group after the motor inn.
@oprofeta6408 it was his fault. his actions caused duck, katjaa, and doug/carley to be killed. he is a dumb kid so i try not to blame him too much but even Ben himself admits his faults
I haven’t looked forward to a Let’s Play series by any UA-camr in SO LONG!!! There’s just something so special and nostalgic about Telltale’s The Walking Dead. The characters will stick with you long after you leave them. Super stoked for you to experience the other seasons!
Be strong for the season finale! It's good that you can play these stories back to back. I remember playing on release and having the torment of waiting for the next episode!
I speak for a lot of folks when I say we've seen a lot of playthroughs, this feels authentic and like a real blind play through for a change! So love for the gameplay keep em coming✅🤝🏿
I also 'sacrificed' poor Ben, but the thing with these games is that you never really knew how punishing they would be regarding your choices. If there's a zombie coming after Lee and it's Ben or Lee, sorry Ben but Clem needs him, and Lee's my man. Ben is even asking to make amends and not put any more people in danger. That's part of what makes these games great, even if it's sometimes smoke and mirrors, it puts you in very difficult situations where you feel real danger for the characters. That's one of the things that annoyed me about Detroit, where often if you take selfless actions that in reality would usually get your character killed - instead the game gave you a free pass, making you feel injustice about making more logical, tough but 'bad' decisions.
@@oprofeta6408 I generally try to immerse myself in a game, but obviously there is no avoiding the question of what you would do in a video game as opposed to real life. Real life I would not have dropped Ben, but in the game I just couldn't handle him anymore. The removal of the axe from the door was the last straw for me lol. I mean, Clem is at least 10 years younger than him and yet would realize that the axe was put there to keep the door closed. When he showed up with the axe that he "just found" I had to laugh because it was as if the developers were trolling a video game character. He then proceeds to tell Kenny, AT THE WORST POSSIBLE MOMENT, regarding his actions playing a part in Duck and Katja's death, Brie then dies and I just had had enough
@@clash5j yeah. But his character is the point of the people in Crawford were doing. I Just couldn't let ben die. He was trying his best, even when It got worse, and i know he didn't wanted any of that
Tough emotional episode, Emma. A bit more about Molly's Crawford story could be found in that locker you passed that needed a combination, which was on the doctor.
You missed the tape that was in the locker, it’s opened with the code you picked off the doctor. It explains Mollys backstory and shows that she was having relations with the doctor for medicine.
I love how she missed the top latter part after she alerted the zombies and then thought it was an insta death, she just didn’t check the top in time! 😭
This part is always a rollercoaster. I think you dealt with the choices well. Looking forward to the final episode of season 1, just reminds me of how good this story really is!
Emma! Emma! You were so close to making the only choice in this game that I could not forgive. Not that it really matters, but for my own sake I'm glad you came clean. One note, you missed finding something that would give you more info on Molly's whole deal. I'm sure you've realised what during the editing process. I believe you on Ben. I let him go on my first playthrough. And it was a harder decision than I expected by that point. He is a constant fuck up and it's hard to remember he's just a kid. Even his last couple fuck ups with the axe and his confession you can understand. We expect someone his age to make smarter decisions, but up until this point they haven't been taught to think through their actions. Sure it's obvious to us, but he'd been used to just follow orders thoughtlessly. Rewarded for it too. And now this happens and everyone has to think on their feet. It's hard and unfair. I really like the inclusion of Ben as a character. It's easy to do everything for Clem who is perfect, or Kenny who risks everything for the ones he loves and (maybe) sticks by you through the hardest times in both your stories, or Carley who is just objectively the most competent and likeable person. Allowing you to let Ben die for being useless while escaping Crawford which kills people for being useless is narrative design gold.
I really wish you let Ben live so that you'd get to see him stand up to Kenny later on and somewhat redeem himself. Thus, in my opinion, that makes a better story. Then Kenny changes his opinion on him in an instant. I don't know if you've seen the different results by now, but i would've loved to see your reactions to it.
So brave of you not to edit out showing your feelings at 25.35, really empathetic. "Our Van Vernon". The last two episodes have put you through the wringer, there may well be more tears to come, but also some lighter moments, so I hope you continue.
Aww I just want to show my full experience of the game really. All the good and bad! It’s been a troubling one, this episode in particular! Thanks for joining me on the journey ☺️
Thanks for coming along on the ride with me! I actually feel at a point where every choice I make is going to have awful consequences in some way. It’s getting rocky 😩
I feel bad for Ben as it's the writers that made him the way he is but still someone who doesn't learn from thier mistakes is a serious red flag for reliability and congrats to the writers as they did a good job making a character I hate without making them a bad person just a stupid scared kid
This episode was nuts, can't wait for the next one! Man TWD was really incredible I miss the feeling the show gave me and this playthrough is bringing back those feelings 😊
Doesn't it feel like Kenny is always dropping Lee in key moments? Bruh. Also just clarification American houses aren't all that big 😂 a lot are but that place in particular was a mansion, definitely not "normal" sized
You probably know this by now from other people but dropping Ben isn’t the best choice. I say this because Ben kind of redeems himself if he lives and you see him stand up to Kenny in the following episode. Just makes for a better story. I also wouldn’t drop someone to their death like that. Ben messed up yes, but he didn’t deserve to die like that. I know you didn’t just do it to be cruel, i get it
I really liked your take on the dog in the yard. I prefer your opinion that it was just an old dog who passed just before the world turned to plops. My theory was (disturbingly) that the demise and subsequent burying the dog was a brutal part of the process in fortifying the house. 🥺
What people dont realize is that Lee was killed not just biten.......the guy that took clementine set a trap for Lee to get biten......he put the hat and the radio under a cardboard box were a zombie was and made the radio go off and boom, Lee gets biten
I would have let Ben go, but not on principle, and not because he represents a danger to the group, and not even because he's annoying as hell, but because my arm got tired.
8:07 "Urban" 🤣😒 25:36 🫂 32:46 we both started singing that 🤣 34:46 especially with Kenny XD 46:24 shut your A (I know, I know) 1:39:16 Miyazaki! 🤣 2:11:45 F-ing Ben
I want to know whats going to happen but I am also kinda bit scared :D lets find out :D its time for another episode of "nigtmares with walking dead" :D:D:D
Vernon's speech at the end of the episode never makes sense lol. Doesn't matter if you lie or not, he says the same thing. I don't understand the writing there at all.
They really wanna test your compassion like you're cruel for letting Ben go, but I can't feel bad. They do not show you once that he can be useful or has good judgment. They show you he's a liability who might get someone killed. Lee saw him basically leave Clem to die. Then he completely lost track of her, and she ran all the way to the boats. I mean, from Lee's perspective, I don't see it as a cruel decision, especially in that moment when he was about to be caught by walkers.
Hey don't worry Emma my queen say things moments like this get to us all I like you watching these episodes my heart I think you and your cat are wonderful all this here before thinking all these poor characters I often just want to be here for them and you my caring sharing beloved best friend I just want to be here for you too 👐🤗🌛🌜👣🤚🖐️👥
He missed up many, many times. Running away and leaving Clementine to die is unacceptable. Stop being weak and trying to please you would be the first to go in an apocalypse…

Poor Ben? There ain't nothing poor about him. He is a coward who caused Molly and almost Clem to die. Plus he sold us out to those bandits.
@@hotaninja05 I mean, he's a junior in high school. Most people in high school are pretty cowardly
Tough emotional episode, Emma. A bit more about Molly's Crawford story could be found in that locker you passed that needed a combination, which was on the doctor.
Oh thank you! I will replay it 🩷
Can't believe you let badass Lee get beat up like that by Kenny lmaoooo
2:20:10-2:20:25 😂😂😂😂 (Looking at Emma's expressions with sad music playing in the background) I couldn't help but laugh.
I cant wait for you to play the whole series!! You brought back so many memories ❤
You missed the tape that was in the locker, it’s opened with the code you picked off the doctor. It explains Mollys backstory and shows that she was having relations with the doctor for medicine.
Also your face when letting go of Ben😂😂

Never played it, I'm discovering the game as you go. And I'm loving it.
Keep it up, Emma! 🌟
OMG just finishing the episode. I want to take back my comment. It didn't look like you were having a lot of fun close to the end 😅

Dang, what a brutal couple of episodes. Thanks for making these tough choices (and enduring the consequences) for us!

It’s coming!! Few days 😃❤️
This episode was nuts, can't wait for the next one! Man TWD was really incredible I miss the feeling the show gave me and this playthrough is bringing back those feelings 😊
I have just found your channel, subbed and binged this until I caught up. I really like your PT, and this is one of my favourite games.

Looking forward to the next session Emma
Lee getting bit still breaks my heart I'm like damn why Lee WTF 😭, also Chuck is a real one saving Clementine while Ben coward ass took off running 🤦
Chuck… I’m so sad. I feel like his death was so meh as well. Just found in a sewer like that. I’m still not over it :(
@@EmmalitionI know right just found in the sewer like gutter damn like damn , Chuck deserved better :(
I've never seen anyone drop Ben...and I've watched A LOT of playthroughs hahahaha

Take a drink every time she says "Quarter" in this video. You'll be drunk 39 minutes in! LMAO
Letting him go means you've got GUSTO!

Kenny is a loveable asshole just like Hank from Detroit Become Human lol
I'm in high anticipation to go through more emotional distress with you
Please keep playing the rest of the seasons!! 🙏🏻💛
she missed the other tape
I hope telltale compensated you well for using your likeness to create Molly! I think they may have nailed the eyes too.
This game storyline is really good and emotional. please continue play 2nd session of the walking death game, thank you.
