Going to get around to playing this and catching up when I get paid. Is there much difference in the platform versions? Should I buy it for PC, Mac or PS3?

It's a point and click adventure game with like maybe 1 quicktime event per chapter. Just pick it up on whatever console is cheapest

Considering that's all they are, they can run pretty sketchily on the PS3 at times. Are they smoother on PC?

Unless you have a potato for a PC it should run fine, haven't had any problems at all running them so far.

Well I got it on x-box 360 cause the season pass was on sale. Sometimes it does take a while to load etc. But nothing frustrating. If you've ever played a PS1, then load times shouldn't annoy you anymore

The performance is absolutely shocking in the games. Ridiculously long load times and massive stutter when a scene begins.

Telltale really need to build a new engine.

Also.. maybe not entirely related but I really hope they eventually add some cross save features for all their games between PS3/PS4/Vita.

Runs perfect on PC. Never had an issue

Just finished the first episode there, got it in the Steam sale.

**** me, I actually feel really bad for tearing off that poor bastards arm at the end. The whimpering out of him was really pathetic, and the horror on the barwomans face (and Woody) was terrible. I know the guy was a dick, but still. They're the downtrodden of society and I go and do that. What a prick.

I stayed out of it with Beauty/Beast, and talked Toad around. I thought I was playing it pretty fair... Went after Tweedledi, since I figured the Woodsman isn't involved. Wonder how that'll turn out.

From now on, I'll likely be a "good" guy. Cracking game so far.

Nice one. Was expecting TWD Episode 4 but be nice to just finish off TWAU while it's fresher in the memory

That also had screens released this week which usually means a release is imminent, and TT have said it will be out this month though so likely the following week.

Nice. Just got around to finishing episode 4 a few nights ago and can't wait for the last episode.

Kerplunk124 · 03-07-2014 7:21pm

Can't wait. Hope there's a season 2.

johnpatrick81 · 03-07-2014 8:16pm

Nice one! Just getting into episode 2, will play them all back to back.

I do find it pretty buggy though. I'm guessing Telltale are a small company? Either that or their quality testing department is absolutely rubbish. The stuttering and stalling is quite awful at times. It completely froze yesterday. It's as if there was a scratch on the disc or something, but it's a downloaded game FFS. I'm playing it on a PS3, about 3 years old.

It would put me off ever buying a Telltale game full price. Walking Dead Season 1 was the same.

Have stayed away from playing this until all episodes are done.
Same with The Walking Dead season 2.

I hated the long wait between each episode of WD1, it kind of tarnished it a little bit(still loved it though).

What can be downloaded has been downloaded.

humanji · 04-07-2014 12:33pm

Thank god this is finishing up. I've been putting off playing them until I could do a complete run through. I just don't have the patience for waiting for each new episode (I blame Netflix. I could probably just blame myself, but it's easier to blame everyone else).

Polygon Link

Amazon is listing release dates in October and November for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One version of Telltale Games' episodic series' The Walking Dead Season One, Season Two and The Wolf Among Us.

According to the listing for The Walking Dead: Game of the Year Edition — which includes the 2012 award-winning original season as well as the 400 Days DLC — and the listing for The Walking Dead Season Two, both are slated to hit on Oct. 14 for $29.99. The latter season, which debuted in Dec. 2013, still has two unreleased episodes to go in its five-episode run.

Amazon's listing for The Wolf Among Us, which launched last October and is slated to release its final episode very soon, pegs Nov. 18 as the $29.99 compilation's release date on PS4 and Xbox One, as well as on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Wow just found out and this is old news, it goes back to last year Heyday films (HarryPotter) are bringing this to the big screen, well by this I mean the Fables comics so likely will be doing the Adversary arcs over multiple films.

Just finished episode one tonight, and by god that was brilliant. Probably enjoyed it more than TWD.

That ending...

Somnus · 06-07-2014 10:28am

Great trailer for Ep 5. Dying to get into it now!

Would absolutely love a season 2 as well. But I'll definitely be making my way through the comics once I finish Ep 5
