freebooter posted:The spoiler thread says that the kid at the start only gets euthanised after returning a positive test to the fungus? Which I totally missed, and if so, is much less brutal/evil than the (still understandable) alternative that they just straight up kill any outsiders seeking sanctuary. It would probably have been a public execution for coming from the outside rather than a quick needle if she hadn't tested positive.

I didn't even realise the cars were blocking the alley at first and wandered why they didn't simply walk around it.

AmbientParadox posted:Hi thread, new viewer here. I've never played the games, watched any youtube walkthroughs or explanations. I assumed the game / show was like The Road, so the show has been a surprise for me. The museum bit was straight from the game. Pretty much all of the scenes in episode 2 are at least partially inspired by something from the game except the Indonesia opening which was entirely new.

The Walking Dead game could've make an ok show but that brand is forever tainted - and the setup is way too similar to TLOU which got in there first.

Yeah once they set up the QZs in the most convenient places and locked them down it would've been next to impossible to move them.

MeinPanzer posted:Yes, I picked up that the infected were attracted to the explosion, but having them suddenly tunnel up through the earth like a scene from Tremors was ridiculous. And it wasn't like the group of them was quiet in the tunnels. I got the impression that FEDRA actually did clear out the tunnels Joel etc went through - but they weren't entirely wiped out, they just moved on to the sewers/tunnels outside the main city. I don't get what was ridiculous about them coming out of the big hole in the ground.

Red Rox posted:I really enjoyed this ep and the series so far, but yeah there were a few annoying cliches. Maybe it’s just impossible to avoid them? You see the horde head for the city - which makes sense since it'll be the loudest, biggest place nearby. Four people running the other way probably wouldn't really register to them in all the chaos.

freebooter posted:We only have Henry's word on that. And we never see anything of FEDRA in KC - all we see is actual FEDRA getting horrifically brutalised on the night of the uprising. I'm not saying "FEDRA are perfect angels," I'm saying "there are better ways of telling this story if this is the point you're trying to make." If anything Henry's more likely to downplay what FEDRA did since he sold people out to them. Why would he exaggerate that?

Boris Galerkin posted:So just out of curiosity, does leukemia medicine work like that? Take one dosage or whatever and poof cured? Or was Sam still a dead man walking but had a few extra months? Yeah I was wondering that too. It was all pretty vague but I didn't get the impression that he'd bought him loads of time - or that they had any medicine left by the time we saw them.

NmareBfly posted:Thinking of child zombies, it's a little weird to me that ol' cordy appears to arrest aging in addition to all the other things it does. Makes sense in other zombie media because they're... dead but here I'd think the body itself would keep on sprouting. I don't know the actual answer but surely the child Clicker could've been infected a year ago when she was a slightly younger child.

LLSix posted:I thought the same thing, but it can't have been earlier than 3 years ago when FEDRA drove all the local infested underground. Which is long enough as a zombie to wrap back around to the same question of if zombie's age or not. There's nothing to suggest Ish's playroom/base is that old though is there? She could have come from there or anywhere else and ended up underground with the rest.

The most successful movie in cinemas on Outbreak Day was Welcome to the Jungle starring The Rock and Sean William Scott. A few days before it was Underworld. Poor fuckers.

ilmucche posted:There's been a bunch of series that do this, why is that? Not pro/against the idea just curious as to why it happens like that I think it mostly just comes down to how much work it'd be to direct more than a few hour long episodes at once. Each episode is like directing half a movie.

precision posted:Watching the show without playing the game can't possibly give one the impression that infected are some constant threat, more like just a lurking horror that prevents access to certain areas and nothing more Nah if most of the country was wiped out by fungus zombies that could be anywhere and everywhere outside of specified safe zones (which are only safe until they aren't) I'd consider them a constant threat.

Phenotype posted:Can I play the second game having watched the TV show? From all the discussion in here it seems like it stayed pretty drat close to what was in the first game, but I dunno, would I be missing anything about the plot? You'd probably be fine .There'd probably be some gameplay references you don't pick up, and it might hit different having experienced the first part of the story with different actors.
