    I agree, Joshua1991. That is why I suggested shortening the release time between episodes. I think the more common complaint on the forum is the game not loading or not saving properly.

    The reason for the delays are to make sure the game is as good as it can be, you can't just shorten the release time because then the game will be even more buggy.

    The problem is that the episodes are work in progress until they are finished and released. I'd rather let them take their time to deliver a good episode than them pumping out one every 3 weeks that is unfinished, buggy and really bad.

    Yea me to, infact i think they should take even more time than they do, like work a year or two on each episode to really polish it...:rolleyes:

    have you seen the out rage in the episode 2 release date discussion threads ?!!

    yeah 2 months is extreme

    6 weeks is acceptable

    4 weeks or less is orgasmic ;)

    everyone forgets to realize that they had this all drawn up before they even started, they would have had time to bug testing when they did there initial figures, so they shouldn't have such long delays, the episodes are only 2 hours long

    I don't know why, but part of me enjoys the prolonged anticipation...is there something wrong with me?

    Maybe.

    Or it could be
    like the pleasure derived from anal retention. Holding it in is uncomfortable, but if you hold it long enough you know that when you finally let go all of your muscles can all relax and you just feel good after.

    It is the first level of pleasure according to Freud.

    I just bought the game today on my day off of work, and I played through the first two episodes and had a lot of fun with this game! When I went to play episode three I was like oh yeah I gotta wait. Still I cant wait to have it, meanwhile I will replay the game and see how different I can make it from the first time.

    They had the initial ground work done before the season started (script, layout, etc). But all the programming, model rigging, etc. is done month to month. You can't bug test what doesn't exist.

    I know from experience that making even a short game is a time consuming process. It's actually pretty impressive that Telltale is able to make a 2 hour fully 3D game with decent animation in only 2 months.

    Never...never pay a company in advance to create a game. & if you DO? ..& they don't deliver in a timely fashion; don't pay them ever again.

    So you didn't jump on those Kickstarters for Double Fine, Shadowrun or Wasteland?

    aren't those kick starters gonna take so long to get made that you would forget you put money towards it by the time they come out

    Let's hope telltale finally learns and make sure it is all more or less ready next time they start releasing a new series.
    They should have just waited with the release of episode 1 until it is so finished that they can fulfill the original promise of monthly release.

    isn't kickstarter a bit of scam / con ? i know there probably are some legit companies but not all of them ?

    Probably there's a lot of shady things to invest in, and some people who wouldn't get the motivation to complete something no matter how much money you throw at them. But I'm sure anyone with a credible name can't back out of making something.

    Double Fine and the other game ones sound awesome. You give them the money to start, then watch the game being made. If you invest enough, you can give input on what you want to see. It's awesome.

    Well this is not the first game I bought a season pass for. I play games like Foza 4 when you pay a price and you get the years worth of DLC at a discount. I don't think it is a scam but you will get your product sooner or later.

    Like I said before I am fine with the episode games I like a fresh thing to do every month then playing the game for one week in a row then I am done with it. I like how they do it so I can take a break from other games while the new episode comes out

    Blame me, I asked the initial question. The damage one can do with a single phrase...fascinating.

    The weird thing is I use to do that when I was a lad....

    Nope; sure didn't. Maybe an entity the likes of Bethesda would get my money on a pre-order in the future, but TTG?

    As far as I can see; my original post-of-irritation, wherin I compared it to Halflife2's ill fated episode series; as well as Stephen Kings' "Green Mile" & suggested the term "Vapor-ware" has played itself out in spades.

    ON the plus side; Facebooks little foray into the Walking Dead as a social game kicked off recently into open beta..

    IT is actually quite fun.
