    Argh. I have the season 2 Wii port. It's CRAP. It's laggy as hell and the ending craps out if you have the subtitles on. Not to mention the ending was changed completely. I know, because I looked it up on YouTube before getting it to work on the Wii, and found out that they replaced the whole ending scene with black and white still clips. What the hell was that bullshit?

    Totally getting a computer copy and setting the Wii one on fire or something.

    ...sorry for the RAEG, but that just ticked me off completely and figured I'd drop a warning for anyone else planning on getting it.

    Well, I'll be kind and blame Atari for all the baloney, and not Telltale. Telltale is awesome, Atari are the ones who suck. So there. ^_^ Honestly, the only reason I got the Wii port in the first place is because my computer is ancient and couldn't even properly run the demo for Ice Station Santa. Eek.

    On ep 205... Remember Abe and Sybil's wedding at the end credits? They replaced the video from the PC version with black and white pictures from the video on the Wii version. @_@

    So instead of a video of the wedding, it was balck and white photos of the wedding? why would they change that?

    I'd like to know that, too. It doesn't make any damn sense.

    I think someone at TTG posted somewhere why they did that, but I can't remember who it was, in what thread it was, or what they said. :o

    I thought it had been Will, but wasn't sure, and now I know why I didn't remember the reason behind it, because there was no specific reason given. :p

    is the game disk one layer or dual layer ?
  • Skylark StarflowerSkylark Starflower
    edited July 2010
    If you mean the Wii version, it doesn't say anything on the box about being dual layer, though I honestly don't know what that would mean.

    if you look at the other side of the disk in the center you will see some text around the circle and dual layer disk is like two disk at one

    Think of dual layer DVDs as DVDs with extra data written between the lines. It almost doubles the capacity of a normal DVD.

    Well, it's got some coding around the middle, like IFPI LL08 and a bunch of other random junk like that, but nothing saying 'dual layer.'

    Either way, it really doesn't change anything. Though for some reason, continuing this kinda pointless conversation is amusing me greatly. ^_^

    Hmm interesting... Though its rarity in stores is questionable. Went to a different GameStop a few days ago when I bought Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker so I decided to check for a Season 2 Wii port just for the heck of it, i found nothing.

    I would like to point out that I have been saying that the ports were terrible for awhile... Now maybe you'll start believing me.
    I would also like to point out that Atari has nothing to do with the game's quality..... they just distribute it.

    Still... Everyone is blaming Atari for that mess of a port.

    I found my copy on the bargain rack at a local Wal-Mart. And the only reason I'm blaming Atari (even though they probably had nothing to do with it) is because I don't wanna be mad at Telltale because they're otherwise so freaking awesome, ya know?

    To be honest, I think it would have been better off for everyone if they had just scrapped the Wii port when they found out about the problem. People would have been upset, yes, but I don't think they would have been quite as angry to find out that it was so the company wouldn't be releasing an inferior product. ...or at least, that's if people are rational. I dunno. Oh well. ^_^

    It's not really that bad, they cut out a couple lines of dialogue and some motion from the credits sequence, and the game chugs in places, big deal. I think a port that is at least 80% as good as the base platform is well worth releasing.
