Episode 2 annoyances (no spoilers for episode 2)...

edited February 2014 in The Wolf Among Us

Okay, I'm not sure if this was the case for anyone else, but the loading times for episode two seemed pretty long. Even when initially starting the second episode, when the episode one recap starts, I heard Bigby say "Mr. Toad..." and then the game just stalled on a black screen for around 15-30 seconds before the picture showed up and the recap started.

During the recap, it showed Tweedle Dee entering the bar, Grendle on the floor with his arm ripped off, THEN showed the scene where I ripped Grendle's arm off. Seems like a recap should show things in the order they happened. I generally felt that the episode one recap wasn't very well done :\

The loading issues weren't only during the episode 1 recap either...they persisted through the whole game, even into the previews for episode 3. It took a bit to load every scene, and the dialogue would start before the picture showed up, generally. Again, not sure if everyone experienced this or if my PS3 just seems to have some sort of issue.

As another person said in the thread that they started, the choices you made are not showing up...after the episode ended, the box came up that said "join the discussion" and it said to use the right analogue stick to scroll...well, there's nothing to scroll through. The choices aren't shown. When I got back to the main menu, I decided to check to see if it would show up in the "extras" section. Nope...only my choices from episode 1 are there.

I dunno...just kinda disappointed that it took nearly 4 months for this episode to come out and it didn't even run smooth. I read other posts where people had items glitching out and everything else. Seems kinda ridiculous after the "long" wait to get this episode out. Anyone else experience any of these things?

    Playing any game from Telltale in a console is really a pain, gigant loading times, freeze's, good thing i play on the Pc.
    Believe me it's not your Ps3, it's a problem on the port to consoles that telltale din't fix yet.

  • I assumed that might be the problem, but wasn't 100% sure. It's honestly a bit weird to me...I played season 1 of The Walking Dead, along with the 400 Days episode, episode one of the second season and, obviously, the first two episodes of TWAU and this is the first time I've had loading issues like I did with this episode of TWAU. I should mention that I've played all of the games on day one of their release for the PS3 except for the first episode of TWD and the first episode of TWAU. Hopefully there's not an issue for the Xbox users.

  • Well i've seen some playtroughs in ps3 and compared to the pc version it's REALLY slow. Everytime the game saves there is a 3-5 second delay. It's really a shame.

    oh yeah, I'm sure there's a noticeable delay when comparing the console versions to the PC versions :) it just hasn't been an issue or massively noticeable for me until this episode of TWAU. Very strange and disappointing.
