Nightmare controls on the PC - can't even get through a fight sequence

[NicoleLauren]

I'm BEYOND frustrated - almost to the point where I HATE this game (and I LOVE these TWD games!). About 40 mins in there is a scene where Clem has to cut ropes on trees to get through the walkers with those kids from the school. I can cut the 1st rope and splatter walkers - sometimes I can cut a 2nd tree to my right and then I get killed from behind. I have no idea where to go - what to do next and how not to get killed. the banging the Q key doesn't work - you still get killed regardless. NIGHTMARE. If anyone has a play-by-play walkthrough or tips - anything - that would be great.

You don't have to actually use all the traps if that helps you, wont stop your progress,always stun them first, then kill. Some walkers may try to "sneak up" on you if you set up the traps so watch out for that;

Kill the first one with the trap and then kill the others just by pressing Q, forget about the kick in the leg, i also got killed 3 times by trying to kick the zombies. Make sure you are close to a tree when you kill them, the others will get stuck between the one you are already killing and the tree.

Thank you both - I'm trying to calm down - lol. Even if I click the Qs, I then get bitten by another. (I've played most TTGs - never had this problem!). I'm having more difficulty with this as well b/c what is with the horrible new camera? Its very hard to get a bearing of where I even am after I complete an action. I'll try again with these tips - ANY MORE tips are surely appreciated. xo

If the Walkers are in a cluster, then stun the first one you kill before attacking it. The traps aren't required but you can definetly still use them if a Walker is within range.

So, we can't exactly point who you should kill first because those guys are random now. I'll just tell you what I did and maybe that'll help you. After you set up the first trap and then regain the general control of Clem what you should do is, use the trees to keep some distance between you and two or more walkers.

I did wait on the traps and press F as soon as they become available to use, never try to use two traps in a row because while you are setting one trap into one walker the other one is getting close to you. You can back down to get some distance. Keep moving if you stay still a group of walkers will rush towards you.

Just came to the comments section for this. I am beyond frustrated (witch I never thought would happen in a TellTale Game). Horrid camera control and non responsive command for combat. Stuck at the same place as you buddy ! Hang in there ;)

Thanks Deadlock - I'll try again now. // Gab - Doesn't anyone TEST these games?? And no one says "hmmm, this sequence sucks, lets make it easier" - lol. Deep breaths.

Yes I know ! The thing is though I dont mind difficulty that much...if it makes sense or is somewhat controllable. But this...is just bad design. Stopped playing for now, will come back later :P

[NicoleLauren]

Yeah - I'm done. I tried again (20 more times). Its not about difficulty - it's broken. I get a ton of lag after the Qs so much that I don't even get the E to finish off that action like in all the games - but on my 30th or 40th try - I finally got that finishing "E" (and of course still got killed bc reaction time is so slow) so I know its supposed to appear. There is way too much lag with the controls and the camera is a mess. I'm not coming back til Tell Tale fixes this. And the times I do stun first - there's like 3 seconds before Clem picks up the knife and kills the walker after I hit the Q - she gets "stuck." Broken.

[jamesoue]

I had the same problem. Combat is the worst. I returned the game.

[T_OO]

Don't know why you guys are having trouble. But I went through it flawlessly. Haven't died once. Stun. Kill. Stun. Then kill again. You don't always have to engage the walker straight on. Check your back. Run around. Try to separate them. Then kill them one by one. The traps is only there for use if you had the chance. But make sure the walker are standing beneath them in-order to even use them.

bahaha same lol

OK I was having a real problem with this as well. I finally made it past this scene by 1) Trapped log, 2) Back up, 3) approach next Walker, stun and kill, repeat 4 times. Hope this helps.

I just kept trying different combos till I got it to work. 1)Squash with rock 2) Tree trap 3) Stun 4) stun 5) run around em 6) stab one in head 7) run around till I got one of em under a tree then squish. 8) then stun and stab.

I just plugged in a controller. Been playing with one for all Telltale games. MUCH easier! :)
