    They've been posting lots of people's reactions and to be honest, it's kinda killing me.

    Man, not sure how many more reactions left I can take. This is getting crazy, release it!

    If I wasn't so anxious for the release date I would stop following them, these reactions are just brutal.

    Yeah, it's actually getting quite annoying. The reactions have caused so much excitement, I kind of want to experience it now, instead of seeing lots of people enjoy it themselves.

    I agree that it's gotten to the point of annoyance; one or two reviewers or testers is fine, but now they're sort of going overboard. What I hate is when they say, "go play it yourself", as if it's already out and fans need to hear that as additional encouragement to actually play the final chapter in a series they already purchased and has been extremely well recieved.
  • ZachyKinzZachyKinz

    Exactly. I mean I understand adding excitement, but the episode is finished. And I think at this point in time, enough people have given their opinions on it, have tested it out.

    Well, based on some of them... (one of them including FFFFUUU) I can safely assume Lee or someone important will die.

    And aside from a bunch of people playing it, they keep saying it'll be out soon. That's not working very well, I was excited the first time they said it, but c'mon now...

    I just unfollowed Telltale, its nothing personal but if they put up another "we will announce the release date soon, but here's another blurb about how great and tragic episode 5 is" I may just cry. I trust that one of you will post about the release date fairly quickly after they announce it.
  • DarcKageDarcKage

    It is pretty annoying how those people tweet how they cried and how sad the episode was.

    That kind of thing doesnt generate hype, it generates irritation. I dont care what others thought of it who got to play it earlier, I want to play it myself. I love the game, but I dislike the way Telltale tries to advertise and the stalling with announcing things.

    right that's like if they released ep 5 for xbox and no one else til some later date. Thats how I feel. Maybe they are trying to make us understand the IOS systems feelings that we reveal too much before it even releases for the IOS

    So this is double trolling for the iOS fans then?

    I can see why TT is promoting the game with those tweets, but I agree that it's getting a little irritating to the people who actually paid cash to play through the game. All I can say is that if there isn't a release date THIS WEEK after all of these retweets, a lot of people are going to be pretty pissed off, me included.

    The tweets are from the mainstream media, who always get review copies before release (and not just for Telltale games either). The good news is the fact that the media is getting review copies means that the game is near release. The media copies are usually near finished (I received a review copy when I used to write for an online gaming magazine, and it was virtually indistinguishable from the final game).

    What is going to hold it up is the review and release process by the console manufacturers. That's out of Telltale's hands, and that process can often take a while. The good news is that it will almost certainly make it's November release schedule. :)

    I'd be shocked if it didn't. Only thing is this: TT had their wrap party for the game yesterday, I believe, meaning that it's done and done. If the game hasn't already been submitted to Steam/Microsoft/whoever yet, we're looking at a minimum of a week before release (I think), max of two weeks.

    And yeah, I'm glad the reviewers are pleased, but if any of them are fans of the game, they should know how frustrating those tweets must be to us.

    Atleast it will be worth it when it is done. Just hope it'll get released soon.

    I guess you are talking certification right? well They shouldn't even be talking about release dates if it's not yet submitted for the certification as they wouldn't know at that point. Bigger overall point is we have to search for info, so either be up front (I don't know when its being certified) or just stay silent(which they do sometimes just not now) til you know for certain its a locked release date.

    The Walking Dead is misery porn, being a good guy means nothing.

    Going by these Tweets, Lee is fucked and Clem might not escape either. Worst case scenario, you'll have to put her down.

    They should atleast upload at the weekend the trailer for Eps. 5 and release the episode next week. It's ok to RT 1 or 2 reviews but not so many.

    I think they're purposefully not going to release a trailer for it, because they don't want anything at all about episode five being spoiled, or even hinted at. They probably want us going in having no clue whatsoever about what's going to go down, except that it's not going to be good.

    With the trailers you have a general idea of the situation, some hints at what might happen, etc. I think it would spoil the episode a little if they released a trailer(or worse, one of those in-game footage trailers), especially if the episode is full of intense moments.

    The building of excitement was amazing for awhile, but now it just gets repetitive.
