I got you there buddy.
They're bringing us a new episode each month, not a new episode for each game but a new episode for one of their games which keeps me entertained for the time being, that's my perspective

You're right, but even then, it still doesn't say that episodes are always released 4-6 weeks apart. And besides, Telltale (at least in my experience) has never stuck to that, the ones the moderators make have always been more accurate. But like I said, Telltale never promised 4-6 week releases, it's always been when everything is finished.
No, the 4-6 week line comes from the FAQ on the official Borderlands site.
The FAQ written by the mods is much better, they claim roughly a 5-8 week gap.

bam, owned - you telltale sympathizers think you know everything...seriously, man..
Dates were not leaked. (TT has dates planned out months in advanced? I wouldn't believe that.) Most of the articles on Season 3 release date are from clickbait sites that are estimating dates, or for a better word for it, "pulling it out of their ass" so people are inclined to keep an eye on their website.
"How many episodes are there in a season, and when are they made available?
There are five episodes in this first season. Episodes are usually available to download between 4 and 6 weeks apart."
Nowhere did they promise that episodes will be released every 4 - 6 weeks. Usually meaning they gave a timeframe for when to expect the episodes and meaning that episodes are, more often than not, released within that time.
But that does open up a can of worms. Episodes aren't often available within that time, so 'usually' is wrong. There's only been one episode of Borderlands so far, with the 2nd soon, but we can go off past releases. Maybe a better way to put it would be 'we try to get episodes out every 4 - 6 weeks'. No promise and at least it's clear that's what they aim for, even if they don't deliver. (So yes, people do have a right to wonder why they state usually 4 - 6 weeks when they don't often hit the target, but again, they never made a 'promise'.)
It also does suck the wait at times, but I'd rather they release the episodes when they're ready.
But bottom line, I don't think this is worth getting worked up over. It's just a game, they will finish the episodes and if you can't handle possible delays or the waiting, then it's best to wait until the seasons are complete. Like me, people can just do something else in the meantime as well.

good post - I appreciate your constructive criticism
and to be honest, I have been pretty good about the waits - I never had a problem with it in the past; I guess i'm just still worked up over the game of thrones fiasco and dealing with the telltale "support" staff
but I agree - i'd rather a great episode than a rushed one too.
You might like to know that Metallica has, though not to the degree as others, criticised TWD S2.
And what Metallica says is 100% correct… more. No matter what you say, it's simply wrong. Afterall, you know what 'usually' means, right?

I just started posti… moreng about the borderlands release date about a WEEK ago.. and yes, I've been a member since January 2014
so what were you saying again, liar? embellish much?

thank you, gina...that's absolutely correct...this IS a forum, and we ALL paid money for the game...if we want to start complaining a little… more a couple months after the first episode was released then we have every right to.
this isn't the happy-go-lucky forum where everyone says how much they love telltale and how awesome they are...sorry, but telltale makes mistakes too - and they've made some pretty big ones recently.
IMO, it seems to me certain people get seriously flustered when you say ANYTHING negative about their favorite game developer or whataver
Maybe they don't have a regular schedule so technically we aren't allowed to be upset, but damn does the wait time and having to play the first episode again cheapen the experience for me, as I imagine it does for many others. I like the build-up and discussion involved in episodic games between episodes. However, if there is too big a gap, all of that falls apart and the experience isn't as great as it could have been. The same applies for waiting for all the episodes to be released before playing. I feel doing that cheapens the experience as well. I was hoping for that ideal balance that I felt Telltale used to hit back in the day with Sam & Max, but with each new series, I feel them getting further and further away from that.
cannot keep up with your (usual) regular 2 month time frame.
Telltale does not have a regular schedule to release episodes, they hav… moree always been released when everything is finished.
Will anybody remember what happened? We don't know.
I'll remember and I'll know, and if you're having trouble, go back and play the episode again, you have multiple save slots.
All we know is you should not release more than 1 game at once as it seems you cannot keep up to schedule with your small studio
Again, no regular schedule, and Telltale has a staff of 240 employees and the games have separate teams, one game does not affect the other.
and with the new minecraft and leaked Walking dead season 3 release dates this year, how are you gonna keep up to schedule with 4 games when you can barely do it with 2?

Why do you make it sound like playing the episode again is an ordeal? I thought the first episode of this series was fantastic and I enjoy playing it, but that's just me. And besides, you have the choice menu and the previously on segment to help you out, you can also access additional choices since you have a Telltale account. Sometimes episodes just take a little longer, but if it can lead to a better product, then I don't mind. I'd rather wait 4 months for a fantastic episode than a month for a sub par episode.

Did you buy an episode or season pass? Because if you only bought an episode, you can't really complain about something you were 'promised' if you haven't been entitled to it.

Please try to be more civil in the future. Instead of insulting people, please stick to constructively criticizing their arguments. Thanks.
and if they're behind schedule, not like 1, 2 weeks but by this much(even IF they didn't promised any schedule as you claim, still 4 month w… moreait is long enough to start a riot or refund in my opinion), people are bound to complain. And since they're paying, it's their right to complain. I have right to post that I want them to keep their timeline and speed things up. I'm not some fudge hater, I loved all the telltale games so far and bought all of them(I'm so loyal I'd even buy minecraft) and that's why it's even harder for me to wait so long.
A few things on this. First of all, I'm not saying that re-playing the first episode is an ordeal. In fact, I really enjoyed it, but I want to complete the entire story first before going back to replay it. Doing otherwise kind of dampens the experience for me (I replayed the first episode before the second with TWD S1 and found I didn't like doing that and that it took away some of my enjoyment of the second episode. Part of the fun to me is the mystery of not knowing what could have been with the other potential choices). My point is that I shouldn't HAVE to have these previously on segments or have to replay the episode in order to remember the game and enjoy the continuation of the story. Secondly, does an episode taking longer necessarily improve it's quality? I would consider TWAU episode 2 to be a perfect example that is contradictory to that statement. I didn't find that episode particularly enjoyable at all. It was my least favorite in that series, in fact. Time does not equal quality. It's like school where people could study hours on end and still fail while someone studies minimally and still aces the exam, or, for a better analogy, it's like art where a minimalistic approach can result in a better piece than one that's more elaborate and expansive. It's about efficiency, not just forcing time into something.

The pain of the fourth month wait as been increased for me due to the fact i'm consistently getting a resident evil revelation 2 episode each week. I would personally prefer getting less Telltale games, or at least larger breaks between games and instead getting short waiting periods between episodes.

I'm out too. These people... I love ttg too but they're just... I mean of course you love your kid, but that's why you spank and yell at them when they get in the wrong way. if you can't even point out and state what's clearly wrong, they're bound to be a spoiled brat, and if stating the fact is "complaining" in this forum this place is clearly in the wrong direction.

I know, but by that logic if it comes out in three years as long as I find out a week before the three year waiting period is made completely redundant? Not good business in my opinion.
Comments like this are why I still wish I could give people a "thumbs down" on this forum. This comment is inane. The fact that they finally announced a release date does not mean that people's concerns about wait time can suddenly be dismissed. Your response didn't address anything related to the comment you were responding to.
