At the end of the series, your choices and how you interact with other characters determined how they would help you in the conclusion of the story. It also affects how willing David is to forgive Javier for events in the past, be them more recent or before the outbreak. Your relationship with David affects how his wife and son feel about his behavior when he’s in a tough situation. There are other instances where your choices to interact with characters push the story in a certain direction. Which isn’t always what Clementine would chose to do.
#NEW WALKING DEAD GAME ON XBOX ONE SERIES#
Most players with a history of playing the series started by wanted Javier and Clementine to become very close (myself included), but at the end of the day you have to do what you think is right. These were extraordinary story-telling moments. As much as I wanted to help Clementine achieve her goal of finding AJ, there were situations where she was willing to do things that I just could not take part in. The choices that you make as Javier affect Clementine, so you are still taking a part in her story much in the same way that Lee from Season One impacted Clementine’s story. At first, I was bother by not playing as Clementine, but I quickly found that Javier was an interesting and easy to like character. Luckily, the saving grace for The Walking Dead: A New Frontier are the characters in it. Compared to the wonderfully paced and insanely tense conclusion to season two, the finale of A New Frontier does not end the season in a satisfying way. It is an unfortunate handling of the final hours of the season that ultimately made me feel unattached to its conclusion. A lot of these events play out in a scripted fashion instead of making me feeling like I made the wrong decision. Whereas early season choices greatly impact who is with you (thanks to various deaths and departures), later choices have consequences that seem to happen regardless of how the player has progressed up to that point. These can be events that causes other members of your group to think favorably or not of you, or they can be choices that cause the death of one of your party members. Choices at the start of the season feel like there is much more gravity to them than the choices in episode four and five. Early choices in the story are much more impactful compared to later choices however. Telltale Games has always done a great job of giving players choices, and in A New Frontier, the choices can have major consequences. While you have all of the information, the game lets you decide how Javier reacts to it and (for the most part) what the progression of the arc becomes. What makes Telltale Games interesting is their story telling. There are a lot of story arcs in the game, and A New Frontier does a great job of giving you enough information to know what’s going on in each of them. Her goal in returning to New Richmond is to find where AJ is and get him back. Upon arriving in New Richmond, the player also learns that Clementine has lost AJ (Alvin Jr.) and blames David almost entirely for the events that caused it. If the player choose to continue doing so, things get very complicated with David. The dynamic between Javier and Kate is interesting because Javier and Kate have shared some romantic encounters before the player takes control of Javier. Javier and Kate have been traveling together since the outbreak began and were unable to meet back up with David in the days following. As it turns out, the person who specializes in New Richmond’s security is Javier’s older brother David. Being one of the only safe places from the Meurto (what Javier and his group call the walkers), New Richmond is run by a group of leaders who each specialize in a certain aspect of leadership within their community. After a handful of very serious altercations, the group arrive in a survivor camp named New Richmond. Rather A New Frontier follows Javier and his family who are soon accompanied by Clementine and a group of survivors. Interestingly, the follow-up to Clementine’s story doesn’t follow her directly. Season Three, A New Frontier, released three years later to fans eager for the return of the franchise, all of whom were curious to see how their choices affected the life of the characters in the series. Nothing was certain other than the fact that Clementine would do everything she could to care for Alvin Jr. The cliffhanger left a young girl caring for a newborn baby whose parents had just died. So much time had passed while we awaited the continuation of Clementine and AJ’s story following the events of Telltale’s The Walking Dead Season Two.
