If you annouce a date before it's fix and something changes, the fans get annoyed.
If you don't announce a date, the fans get annoyed.
TTG cannot win this game.
There are better things to do than to get one's panties in a bunch over a delayed computer game... *winky face*
Simple way of looking it is, we were promised monthly episodes, they arent happening, so you can bitch and moan as much as you want, and the whole whoah is me shit is getting old, so calm dudes!
As a new gamer of TTG's...just gotta say they are a huge disappointment. And I'm so tired of the phony 'support' for them NOT keeping their word in this forum. I was suckered into buying the entire set of promised "MONTHLY" episodes...not BIMONTHLY episodes. It's BS..plain and simple.
Pretty much sure this will be the last bit of money out of my pocket they receive...
Its not that big of a deal, i waited over a year to get the first episode... i don't like waiting longer either, but whatever, the comics take even longer for more volumes to come out. The best way to enjoy a telltale game is a year after its initial release. I dont wanna sound pretentious, which means i am about to, but everyone being all pissy about this must be fans of the television series (which has totally butchered the story as well as the character development) they are just caught up in the hype storm. If you like the game just wait till the next release, if you dont then dont play. Im sure the guys at telltale couldnt give two poops about people whining in their forums. If it bothered them they would just delete all the complaints.
Its not my fault that the official forum of ttg best answer is we don’t know, might be fun getting a rise out the forum until next epp though:)
So you think it's fun to be troll? Screw you, you freakin' jerk. Don't act like an self-absorbed selfish egomaniacal fool.
It's always been this way for Telltale Games. Don't like it, don't buy their games again. But complaining about it to US, isn't it going to help. Annoying us may be fun for you, but it isn't fun for us. You understand that, you douchebag? Or do you need me to use simple words so that your simple mind and simple behavior can comprehend?
You seem upset:) cant handle some criticisn, I am just frurstrated at the lack of info, mabey ttg will pick up the pace and try to keep a better schedule, who knows i am not alone in this point , but i dont need to abuse people
I can't handle criticism? I handle it perfectly well. What I can't handle is people being annoying. We already answer your questions to the best of our ability. Quit acting like weasely putz. Your moronic whining isn't helping anyone. The only thing it's helping is making you look like a selfish putz who only cares what what he, himself, wants, with no consideration to others.
And so what if there are others feeling like you? Do you see them constantly complaining like a putz? Maybe a complaint here or there, but they aren't acting like a putz like you. You are alone in that.
The problem isn't your complaint, is the amount of times you are repeating it. Everyone already knows what your complaints are. Complaining more isn't going to make anything go faster.
I want to know why die hard telltale fans are just blindly standing up for them. it is pretty plan and simple...they made a promise and didn't keep it. what's not to be upset about?
telltale fans stand for this because we like the games. we NEED these games. its just like gasoline. why are americans (not to mention europeans) putting up with these ridiculously high prices and doing nothing about it? Cause if we boycott telltale games over minuscule problems like this, who will make the games we like? i cant say telltale lost my business over this cause im still excited about fables and kings quest
Same reason people say "There was absolutely nothing wrong with ME3's ending" honestly im more offended by ME3's ending then a June Release date on TWDG

I'm not standing up for them. You are correct: the lack of decisive and hard dates on releases SUCK. It does.
But constant complaints isn't going to help anyone. It's not going to help you. It's not going to help me. It's not going help them. It's not going him. It's not going to help her. Plus, what promise are you talking about? They never said it was going to be release in May. They said "Maybe in May".
It's not going to help, so why keep doing it? Come back in September if you are so impatient.
It will be a LOOOOOONG time before all 5 episodes come out.
BUT!!!
If the Walking Dead when all 5 episodes come out live up to our hopes of multiple endings {including ones for psychos where Lee survives alone one for martyrs sacrificing yourself for clem, one for Clem being Lee's new adopted daughter, and maybe even killing off duck for Duck Hunters} ,multiple decisions, and possibly even some bloopers and maybe superficial DLC. Then we can all happily enjoy it.
HOWEVER
If they basically make this a linear game with Superficial decisions all leading to the same outcomes. THEN we Drive them nuts with complaining
Just My Opinion Commander no need to go spreading it around
because this forum is a medium for me to do so! As a new telltale customer I am not impressed with how they are releasing this game. I think it's rough waiting so long for such a small amount of game play. If each chapter were five or six hours of game play I wouldn't be upset. But a maximum of three? a Lot of gamers can do that in one sitting. I'm not saying I havn't been impressed with what I've played, but how long and how little I'm waiting and getting.

The first I can get. But I wasn't really referring to you mostly, to be honest. It's the OTHER guy that I'm annoyed with.
But you didn't answer my question. What promise? What are you referring to?

That's interesting, but this is irrelevant and has nothing to do with the release discussion.
I had a telltale member refute my post about a release date being pushed to june. then a week later its set in june....that's pretty much what annoyed me
the thread was called something like "june 24th rumor"....can't remember.
Just read that thread-there is no promise that will be in May, or that will earlier in June. The only the thing that the Telltale Team Member said was, don't believe outside sources.
There was no promise. You misinterpreted what they said.
"We also haven't announced a delay for "programming problems" or any other reason". thats what he said. what they promised was monthly episodes. now its not coming out until june. what am i missing?
"We also haven't announced a delay for "programming problems" or any other reason". thats what he said. what they promised was monthly episodes. now its not coming out until june. what am i missing?
Promise WHAT monthly episode? They never promised that. Ever. It's the general schedule they would do things, yes, but this was never promised. Ever. You have no proof this is a promise. Maybe they generally release episodes montly more or less, but they never promised a hard date for Episode 2.
As for the delay comment, it just means they are schedule. Doesn't mean they were going to do it in May.
I can no longer have this conversation because I can see its not going anywhere. nothing you say is going to change the fact that i will never buy a telltale game outside of something walking dead related. so i guess they got kudos to them for having a super great concept to work with.
Okay okay okayyyyyyy...
Let me get this straight...
Come back in September?
Heh we all know all 5 episodes will NOT be out by the end of September :P
I think that's the problem here :P
5 episodes, released in a 5 month time frame.
By the second episode they've already extended it to a 6 month time frame. Now how much more time will be added if they add an extra month onto the remaining episodes? That's an extra 3 months added right there.
Suddenly what we see is something that should take 5 months... Become 9 months at least.
That's over 120 extra days of development time.
Hmm?
*Grins*
*Facepalms*
*Laughs at the people complaining like babies*
*Laughs at the die hard fans sticking up for bog roll*
You're both as stubborn as eachother, it's like watching toddlers argue over having the red truck when there's a red and blue one.
Go play Minecraft, Skyrim or one of the many free MMO's out there.
Promise WHAT monthly episode? They never promised that. Ever. It's the general schedule they would do things, yes, but this was never promised. Ever. You have no proof this is a promise. Maybe they generally release episodes montly more or less, but they never promised a hard date for Episode 2.
As for the delay comment, it just means they are schedule. Doesn't mean they were going to do it in May.
Why is this game episodic? What does that mean?
Telltale has a strong history of releasing episodic games but more importantly, we wanted this game to offer an experience analogous to the comic books and TV show, which are also episodic in nature. We have plans for 5 episodes, releasing once per month.
They didn't make any promise but they stated here. Sorry, you can't defend this. Telltale are doing wrong with this releasing dates matter.
Once per month means one episode on April, another one on May... and so on. If you state this on FAQs and answering to the customers that it will be a monthly release then the customers will believe that. Then Telltale say that they won't release episode 2 on May. It's normal that people complains at them.
Honestly it seems pointless to participate in the arguement but how about this as an excuse "We Released Episode 1 too early we should have released it in may so then junes release of episode 2 would be monthly"
yeah there is also a part on the FAQ that they say they will be doing the game monthly too. lets get one thing straight though...if ended up getting more game play with these delays, would it be worth? I say hell yes...but the likely hood of that happening is pretty low
I want to know why die hard telltale fans are just blindly standing up for them. it is pretty plan and simple...they made a promise and didn't keep it. what's not to be upset about?
Mainly because we have patience now from waiting.
I'll just state that you guys do have every right to be mad about telltale not keeping up with the episodic release schedule(is this their first time doing that?), but for gods sake people, you could have just waited a year when it is all out and bought it then. Heck that's what most people do...
How early does Telltale announce the next episode of their games? What's past experience? Because if it's going to be there soon wouldn´t they already have announced the date by now?
christian0 going by back to the future the game they released the date info for the following episodes about a week in advance and that game also had a 2 month gap and also had some delays..
yes i do agree tell tale should plan ahead abit better for 6 years they've done it this way and in the long run it works for some people but in this era everyone wants everything licketyspilt (quick) so yes they have to set a date but why not set that for when they have finished the first ep and have got enough work done on the second episode ? that way the 'delays' are reduced...
I'm pretty patient, and don't kind the waiting (honestly, it'll be funny if it releases the first week of June - although I'm certain it won't - and all these people are bitching for nothing.)
Here's the two major problems for TTG if they don't follow their promised release schedule.
1. TWD is a juggernaut with a rabid fan base. A lot of people (myself included) had never even heard of TTG prior to this game; nor the episodic release format. However, since it is a walking dead game, us fans are all over it. Now, although I knew what I was getting myself into, some people didn't (not TTGs fault) and those that did rightful expect them to do what the told their consumers they would do and follow a monthly release schedule. If they even come close (like between 4-5 week release average) bully for them, people will be happy. If they don't, however, they just lost a pretty large following of customers they never would have had exposed to their games if they weren't making a walking dead game, pissed a lot of people off, and garnered quite a bit of negative press.
2. If they don't have timely releases, it means that they suckered a lot of people into buying a season pass and giving TTG of a LOT of money up front for a season pass (how many of the 1M+ copies were sold via season pass?) under the falsehood of monthly releases. It means that they essentially mislead a rather large subset of consumers by lying about the speed with which the product would be delivered. Who knows if that was a ploy to get money up front to cover development costs, etc; but it doesn't look good.
In conclusion, TTG has stuck themselves in a bad spot, if they rush development and deliver a crappy product, TWD fans will chase the down with torches and pitchforks; if they take too long between episodes then fans will hate them. Either way, if they don't deliver a high quality product in a timely fashion, you can bet that the vast majority of them will NEVER buy from TTG again. I am patient, don't mind waiting, etc but I know I for one will feel treated pretty dishonestly that I bought a season pass under pretense of monthly releases if it's closer to bimonthly and would make sure to tell all my friends to never buy a telltale game other than TWD.
However, I think if the epps are as good or better than the first and can be relatively close in releasing (i.e. 4-5 1/2 Weeks per episode) then telltale deserves some SERIOUS accolades for what they've pulled off!)
Just bought the game and completed it and it was awesome.
I've never bought a Tell tale game before, because to be frank I'd never even heard of them, so I was pleasantly surprised to discover this game although I'm not a fan of TWD. I also bought it on PS3 for the complete collection pack.
However, despite enjoying the game massively, I am a bit disappointed to discover that it may not be coming out this month. To be frank I was promised a monthly game and if Tell Tale don't follow up on this promise then I would be disappointed.
However, all that said, it hasn't been a month yet since the first episodes release so I won't be complaining until the 27th of May has passed and indeed, nobody should, because the monthly cycle hasn't finished yet.

double posting is bad can you edit your earlier post ?
other wise mod's get angry

no. It means you get 3/4 of telltales games... thats it. Those episodes are already out lol.
Pretty much sure this will be the last bit of money out of my pocket they receive...

See what happens when I am gone for a few days taking finals? Figures... *double sigh*
Oh well, on to my next classes, I guess.
And so what if there are others feeling like you? Do you see them constantly complaining like a putz? Maybe a complaint here or there, but they aren't acting like a putz like you. You are alone in that.

Don't complain about imaginary scenarios that don't exist yet.
