Well, Since it seems that we will never get a episode 2 and I would like to continue to play some games. Who has a suggestion for my next TTG Episodic adventure? I have already finished BTTF.......
I guess you already played tales of monkey island?? That is the best telltale game i have played so far.
Telltale sold over a million downloads to episode 1 at 5 bux each. They made well over 5 million. Talk about a profit.... They are wealthy. Meaning they dont owe you an explanation. And if they were so sure that it will have a June release they could have picked one of the 12 days remaining in June. Wouldnt they sale more copies if people knew when they could buy it? Just saying I stopped looking for it 2 weeks ago. I just had an email from this site and was curious if it did ever drop. But the one thing I cant wait to see is the sales drop off the map by the time episode 3 rolls out in november. I say boycot this crappy company. Everybody is making a big deal out of a horror version of L.A. Noire. What is so great about it? The choices have little affect and you cant explore hardly anything. Just saying...the lil boy on my game should be dead. And when you try to be rude the dialogue kinda gets shakey. Its never going to vary that much because do you realize how many outcomes would be possible if your choices mattered that much??? It wouldnt be a $25 game. So lets see how far we can make the sales drops (PC users, sorry) Lets not buy this crap. They wouldnt listen to us so lets punish them. Heres my idea... Make them hurry. NOONE BUY ANYMORE EPISODES TILL EP 5 RELEASES! Hurt them for ignoring us!
The only way i'd ever play a law and order game is if i could be elliot and beat the ever lovin shit out of child molesters. But elliot isn't even in the show anymore and the Law and Order TTG makes is probably the non skin crawling one with just murders and such
Telltale sold over a million downloads to episode 1 at 5 bux each. They made well over 5 million. Talk about a profit.... They are wealthy.
Firstly, your facts here are wrong. You are assuming that this game cost $0 to make, which would be flat out BS.
We got
Employee costs
Liscensing costs
voice actor costs
advertisement
keeping this website up
any refunds from people that cannot play the game for whatever reason
bandwidth for the game downloads
plus other stuff that I don't know about.
Yeah, I don't think they made $5 million from this game in pure profit.
Make them hurry. NOONE BUY ANYMORE EPISODES TILL EP 5 RELEASES! Hurt them for ignoring us!
That's rather difficult since everyone complaining bought the season pass, AKA all 5 episodes already bought. Didn't think that through now did you? EDIT:Ok I saw "PC users, I'm sorry" PSN users had a season pass too...
EDIT:Oh great jeebus, I just read the rest of the post... umm. Horror version of L.A. Noire? What do those games even have in common?

1. This game is nothing like L.A. Noire. I don't really need to qualify this.
2. "The choices have very little affect" ... the choices affect a lot more than in most games. Yes, you're not going to get infinite amounts of choices because that's simply not possible. If you want that, wait 200 years for a holodeck to come out or something. Until then, video games aren't going to allow you a completely full range of possible choices when it comes to story.
3. Even if your boycott did work, forcing Telltale to "rush" through finishing the games sounds like a good way to get a bunch of crappy, rushed episodes.
I do understand everyone trying to defend TTG but the amount of time between episodes is a bigger horror than the story of the game itself. When you're playing a game, especially one that pulls you into the game as much as TWD does, then the biggest anti-climax is that you have to wait 2 months (or perhaps even more) to continue the story. By the time the next episode hits the shelves you might as well play the previous one again just to get into the game again.
Anyways, the game (well, the first episode) is really good but I am done waiting. Maybe I'll get the rest of the episodes in a year or so if they go on sale, assuming that at least Episode 2 is out by then.
Great game, horrible feedback and more than horrible release periods. Not worth waiting for and therefor not worth more of my money. I hope TTG at least have someone monitoring what is being said on these forums because I'm pretty sure more people have stopped being anxious and have started giving up waiting. Four of my friends also got the first episode when it was released but I am the only one that waited this long hoping for a next episode. The wait is over and it's time to spend money on games I can actually continue playing. Good luck to those that have more patience than I do, TTG should give you guys Episode 2 for free.
The same amount of time it takes to create a walking dead episode is
Also about the same time it takes to build a nuclear weapon....somehow one strikes me as alot more complicated
I'm hoping we won't have to wait until the end of the month (June 19 anybody?), but I'm not going to hold my breath on that one. Chances are that it will be out next week, if the sources are anything to consider. Hopefully we can expect monthly releases for the remaining episodes from here on out.
The same amount of time it takes to create a walking dead episode is
Also about the same time it takes to build a nuclear weapon....somehow one strikes me as alot more complicated
You think it takes 2 months to build a stable nuclear weapon? lulz.
I'm hoping it's on Tuesday. It would be less than a month delay from when the last episode was supposed to come out, and either Jet Grind Radio or this needs to cool the summer heat with cool island rhythms. My guess would be the week after, but
TTG just give us a date or a reason! That's all. All this not knowing about why we don't know BS sucks!
I'm not even hoping for them to announce a fixed date anymore, since it's probably going to be late August or something. Well, maybe not that far, but you get my point. At least in uncertainty the theoretical possibility of a release within the next few days remains.
The end of June. I can not understand the logic of threatening to not buy TT games. Why miss out on all the fun ,the suspense, and the creativity of the forum participants. It has been very entertaining to watch unfold and you get another episode soon ,and another ,and another,and another . .
If ttg continues to delay stuff and avoid giving information on why and when, sales may dip but people have said this before for other games from telltale (bttf and jurassic park being two recent culprits).

I wonder the same thing because some people are immature/petty and small minded/deluded into thinking that spitting their proverbial dummies out makes a difference in the grand scheme of a million plus sales...

I can understand them voicing their concerns about a product that didn't meet the advertized release dates. I'm not sure why you guys can't see it. Whether the majority of people that make those posts actually abstain from future purchases or if they're just complaining for the sake of complaining remains to be seen.
I understand that games may need to be released later than usual due to several reasons, it's the fact that there has been zero communication from the company on their site that I'm slightly annoyed.
With that said, I'll buy this regardless. I like where the story is heading and it looks like they're following in the comics foot steps as opposed to the television show. That alone makes this a must buy (and all the more reason I want it now as opposed to later, haha).
EDIT: I think how they handle the release of this game will be very important to TellTale. People who had no interest in adventure games (like myself) may be turned off by how it's handled. I'm pretty damned happy with it so far though.
They should at least suspend the guy who wrote down '1 month at a time' I want 1 months pay deducted from his salary And I promise, I'm going to throw something at anyone from tell lies games. Dont know what it is yet but my heart will let me know what to grab and chuck when the time comes. They need to keep that shit on the down low out in public because im listening. You could be at walmart shopping and next thing you know BAM! mcdonalds sweet and sour sauce all over you. AND WHEN THEY ASK ME WHY I DID IT! I'm just gonna start *snippin* like crazy.
There's no way this can beat the mess of the Mass Effect 3 ending uproar, haha. Some of the stuff I read about that made me cringe. It was pretty over the top, even though the ending was pretty lame.
There's this guy in the mirror, I wonder who he is. Sometimes I think I know him and sometimes I wish I did. There is a story in his eyes, lullabies, and goodbye. When he's looking back at me I can tell...he's hurting inside.
It's getting colder now and the darkness consumes me. Depression is slowly creeping up. Maybe one day you'll actually care about me. Never underestimate the pain of a person because the truth is everyone is struggling. It's just some people hide it better than others. He smiles with all that he has left, yet tears are left un-dried. And though he's got so much to say, he bottles it up inside. If you look past his broken eyes to a shadow no one sees, a disguise so you won't recognize, the guy is really me...
There's nothing more depressing than having it all and still feeling sad. I'm tired of being nice to people who don't give a shit about me. I'm just a fucked up guy living in a fucked up life in a fucked up world. Welcome to where being me is -*Never Enough*-
Sometimes the pain's too strong to bear...and life gets so hard you just don't care. You feel so alone you just sit and cry...every second you wish you could die. Then you start thinking who would care...if one day they woke up-and you weren't there.
I could go on with my day and act like everything is okay. But as my life goes on it hurts more in every way. He can't hide no matter how hard he tries, his secret disguised behind the lies. And at night he cries away his pride, with eyes shut tight staring at him inside. All his friends know why he can't sleep at night, all his family asking is he alright. All he wants to do is get rid of this hell, well all he's got to do is stop kidding himself. he can only fool himself for so long...
You'll just never know...so many emotions I choose not to show. I Know what it's like to want to die. How it hurts to smile. How you try to fit in but you can't. How you hurt yourself on the outside, to try to kill the pain on the inside. I see the blood all over my hands. Does it make you feel more like a man? Was it all just a part of your plan? The pistol's shaking in my hands...and all i hear is the sound...
I've been weak and I've been strong. I've been thru the fire and I've been thru the storm. Try to do right and I know I do wrong. Just be happy for me when my life is gone. Cause with no more hurt and no more tears, there will be no more pain and no more fears. No more people in my face that are not sincere. So smile for me when I'm no longer here.
Just because his eyes don't tear doesn't mean his heart doesn't cry. And just because he comes off strong, doesn't mean there's nothing wrong.
I don't know what I'm doing anymore. I don't know what I want to see. My world use to be worth living for, and now it's hard enough just to be me.
I'm not afraid of the gun in my hand, I'm not afraid of dying, I'm just afraid of the pain it will bring, and to see my best friends crying. I'm going to smile...and make you think I'm happy...I'm going to laugh...so you don't see me cry...and even if it kills...I'm going to smile. I'm screwing up every little good thing I ever try to do. I was born to lose.

No, I have not. Only BTTF and of course the first episode of TWD.

"They are rich"? Here's the perspective that you're missing.
Telltale games: ca. 90 employees, yearly revenue 10 million $ (2010)
Electronic Arts: ca. 9000 employees, yearly revenue 3654 million $ (2010)
And EA is one of the hated companies, god knows how much the good ones are making...
(And I DO hate that one)
1. This game is nothing like L.A. Noire. I don't really need to qualify this.

Ah! Rockstar Games. Belongs to
Take-Two Interactive: ca. 2118 employees, yearly revenue 1136 million $ (2011)
THEY are still pretty rich!

I just edited your post. That would have summed up your entire monologue quite well.
The guy comes in, 1 post and give's a date.
I'll believe the release date is when it's released, not when some random name say's so.
