A request from the less fortunate.

edited October 2012 in The Walking Dead
As we have seen this morning the release date for ep 4 has been announced for NA.

Just a friendly reminder that some of us; PSN EU and iOS users like myself (who don't even have ep 3 yet) won't be able to play ep 4 for an as yet undisclosed time.

So can I please ask you to limit spoilered discussion to the spoiler forum.

Kind regards,
The Less Fortunate.

P.S.
I haven't started this thread to be told to buy it on another platform. In my own case, my PC won't run it, and it is not available on games consoles in NZ.

    Not to sound like trolling here but,
    There's a much more effective & guaranteed solution:
    Don't check the forums until you played the 4th episode! (I won't be checking forums tomorrow until I get the word from other gaming sites and finally play it)
    Just a little bit more patience for us EU people!

    No offense but I've always disliked this approach. I can perfectly understand it from a day late approach. But its pretty much a week to two weeks wait for EU users. He will most likely have to avoid the entire internet, if he doesn't want to get spoiled as all the sites will be putting up their reviews and their perspectives of it as well.

    So by this rationale, I shouldn't be here now as I still don't even have ep 3. This also means that other gaming sites/forums that may have info I should steer clear of. Or any blog site that posts reviews of games for that matter. :confused:

    I actually have plenty of patience, I've needed to for TWD. Sure I voiced my displeasure, like everybody else that had an issue, but I still waited it out.

    I would have thought that at least an EU gamer might have understood. I guess we'll see you in a couple of weeks.

    The mods should create a sub-section called "The Walking Dead Story Discussion - SPOILERS Episode 4". That would solve your problem.

    I know, but the OP wants less spoiler from episode 4 in the spoiler-section.

    I know English is your second language, but I didn't think I had written that badly!

    I am asking for the spoilers to be put IN the spoiler forum!

    :D

    Oh, my bad.
    I did understand your post. I just thought the OP wanted to visit the spoiler-forum without reading major-spoilers from episode 4.

    The thing is, after every episode's release, the forum gets flooded with newbies who don't read the rules or threads like this before posting. We can't do much to stop it, and threads like this won't help. There's simply no other option than to avoid all Walking Dead forums if you don't want to get spoiled. Things should die down in a week or so.

    I know. But it can't hurt to try and educate people right?

    Yeah, I come here to check when episode 3 is out. Not to see titles in plain sight saying things like "Clem dies" or "Kenny survives but gets bitten" (not actual spoilers as I haven't seen these, as far as I know they don't exist. Don't panic, but you heard it here first! :P)
    But it's really annoying to have those spoliers straight-up in your face when I check out the forums for a PSN EU release (since TTG don't bother to blog about them).

    That works fine if there's just one day between platforms. Gets trickier when there is a longer time frame that's not even fully determined (like PSN EU) and pretty much excludes you from the forum entirely if you lag more than a month behind (iOS).

    So, yeah, the story discussion is the place to go for spoilers, and the mods will keep this place as spoiler free as humanly possible.
