Steam Walking Dead Out, TELLTALE version OUT NOW!

[divisionten]

As soon as it comes out for Telltale's site, we'll let you know. It's out on Steam if you ordered it there.

Thank you.

EDIT: Telltale had a last minute internal server issue.

For those of you who can't wait to play TWD now, check your email. They have sent a STEAM key and you can download it from steam if you purchased it through Telltale's site. They should fix the server issue soon. If you still don't have your key, click here for instructions (http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=29323).

REMEMBER: I am a forum moderator, not staff. My job is to stop fights and get rid of spambots. I know just as much about the ETA on this as you; please don't email me about customer service issues. Thanks.

[Vainamoinen]

You tell 'em, div!! :D :D

[Pitchingace88]

Personally, I would've thought that on TellTales own site they would have it up before others. Either way, I will be playing it today, just would've thought they gave people who ordered it through their site an advantage over Steam

[DrRadon]

So you actualy serve the people first that grand you 30% less income. ;)

[Freakshow]

This sucks it better come out soon...

[Vainamoinen]

Ahhh, it could have gone either way.

[Gennadios]

So you actualy serve the people first that grand you 30% less income. ;)

Actually it's the company that skims 30% off the top serving people. Gotta have some way of dissuading people from buy directly from the developer after all, right?

[MrNoodle]

I hate to say it, but I don't think I'll be ordering through TT anymore. At the very least I would appreciate a time-frame or a countdown timer like Steam does. What's the point of pre-ordering when it's already 1:20pm where I'm at and I still can't access the game?

[JBright]

wow, only reason i got it off the site was because I thought they will release it first.. fucking fail.... should have gotten it on steam...

[b0xt]

I second this. If I had known we'd be waiting now I would never have ordered direct.

What positive benefit could this of possibly had for TT?

[Vainamoinen]

I second this. If I had known we'd be waiting now I would never have ordered direct.

It's been a fricking five minutes! OUTRAGEOUS! ;)

[corruptbiggins]

Steam releasing first is a very rare thing in Telltale's game history (in fact this could be the first time it's happened, but not 100% sure).

[ChemicalWinter]

I second this. If I had known we'd be waiting now I would never have ordered direct.

agreed... this was my first direct order.. and most likely my last from this developer. i could have waited to use my money on my xbox or ps3 at least. this is a major ball drop here

[DrRadon]

It's been a fricking five minutes! OUTRAGEOUS! ;)

I think if you get people hyped up every minute is of interest.

[Goldrock]

It's been a fricking five minutes! OUTRAGEOUS! ;)
5 minutes is like 5 years in gamer years! :mad::p

[Vainamoinen]

No, probably not the first time. But I think it's more frequent that TTG releases first. The present situation seems a bit unknown to me, while I've witnessed far more release days when people from the Steam forums suddenly popped in here and started crying. ;)

But what the heck, it's an episodic series. It's 1 : 0 for Steam vs. Telltale, but it's best of five. :D

[oneway23]

Some of you need to gain some perspective...

[Rtboh]

Think of the free disc!

[MrNoodle]

It's been a fricking five minutes! OUTRAGEOUS! ;)

Yeah, I know, we haven't been waiting hours, but the time isn't the point. 1 minute or 3 days, TT's own game should release way earlier than anywhere else. It's weird to me that TT's games are never available at midnight either, but that's another discussion.

Plus, just cause it's only been a short amount of time now, who knows how long it'll take. They don't even give us a time-frame or anything. For those of us that pre-ordered it pretty early, it sucks just to have no communication on the matter at all.

[ADavidson]

Especially considering the Steam version has achievements as well.... Doesn't look like TTG preorderers get anything special this go round

[WabbitTwaks]

Just mildly curious here...

The game is obviously ready for release, what is keeping TTG from making it available?

[ChemicalWinter]

No, probably not the first time. But I think it's more frequent that TTG releases first. The present situation seems a bit unknown to me, while I've witnessed far more release days where people from the Steam forums suddenly popped in here and started crying. ;)

But what the heck, it's an episodic series. It's 1 : 0 for Steam vs. Telltale, but it's best of five. :D

kudos for the honest opinion on that at least. i am only annoyed because i got up early to do a refresher course before i could play.. i expected the game a bit ago but whatever. already spent the money. :cool:

[Mike]

Our build of the game is coming VERY SOON. I know the short delay sucks, but it's a slightly different build and it needs to be fully uploaded to our CDN before you can download it. We definitely appreciate your patience.

[Moragami]

Pretty lame. I only pre-ordered through TT because it wasn't available on Steam at the time. Figured getting an entry into the contest was worth giving TT a try. Then, it releases on Steam, and they get entry to the contest as well, and even get first access.

Wish I had waited just a couple more days. I'd be much happier had I purchased through Steam.

Our build of the game is coming VERY SOON. I know the short delay sucks

That's very vague. Is it coming today? If you know the short delay sucks, how about you help manage our expectations with a bit more info?

[Goldrock]

I dont think any of us are patient right now lol:eek::eek:

[DrRadon]

So it´s only a matter of uploading a 500mb file than? Nice.

[Rtboh]

Mike are we talking a matter of minutes or about an hour? I'm in the UK and it's almost 7 and I need to know what's happening. Thanks

Cool. That's all I was hoping for. At least an update on the situation is nice to have. I'm hoping that "VERY SOON" means within the hour and not "We don't know so we'll tell you 'very soon.'" Thanks for the update though.

[Rtboh]

Cool. That's all I was hoping for. At least an update on the situation is nice to have. Thanks!

I agree

[WabbitTwaks]

Thank you for satisfying my curiosity, Mike :)

[Mike]

I can't give an exact time frame at the moment, but it's being worked on.

[nomecopies]

Steam releasing first is a very rare thing in Telltale's game history (in fact this could be the first time it's happened, but not 100% sure).

The first one was POKER NIGHT... and they gave us a Steam code.

Ahem.

[The Gentleman]

I should have preordered. It's already here.

Steam told of it's release. But no-one wanted to believe, believe it would on Steam first, and when the truth finally dawned, it dawned in STEAM.

But, there is one they fear, in their tongue they are Telltale-ites... TELLTALE FORUMS.


(This just means I forgot to preorder and now I'm suffering for it)

Whoops.

[The_Ripper]

I can't give an exact time frame at the moment, but it's being worked on.

Fine, but the Steam code was for the TF2 items and not because it was released there first.

Is it possible to cancell the order this late? Back when i preordered it it wasn't available on Steam, and i would like to have it there along with most of my other games.

[Arsun97]

I hear that more and more people have issues with the game that they bought at Steam, so now i'm glad i'm pre-ordered it here.

[Laserschwert]

What's with the many "lames" posted around here? Did this place turn into a forum for prepubescent teenies?

[davidoftheyear]

People are being ruthless. I understand the frustration, but TT is probably under a lot of stress just trying to get the game on their website and the bashing isn't helping. True, I'm disappointed I could be playing right now but getting mad isn't gonna help and I guarantee you won't even care that you had to wait once it comes out. Either way, I'm stoked and can't wait!

[corruptbiggins]

I believe it should be possible as long as you don't download and activate the version from here. Also it must be noted that it would probably take a few days for the refund to get processed and you get your money back as it's not an automated thing. You'd either have to contact a TTG employee on here or send them an e-mail to get the ball rolling.

[Gibbeynator]

Look, think of this as an extra hour or so to pre-order at the 10% off price, enter the contest, and be rewarded with a less broken version of the game.

[nomecopies]

Fine, but the Steam code was for the TF2 items and not because it was released there first.

There was a Steam code for the hats and so, but when the game didn't appeared on TTG site and was available on steam, the code also unlocked the game on our steam accounts.
Can't remember it exactly, but I think it was something like that.

[the walking guybrush]

this is very disappointing don't think I will be ordering directly from telltale again

Wisely post. ;)

[bo0berry]

mike what about the xbox market place will that come out the same time as the pc release or is that a different day

[Isaak971]

Could we all just have a nice tall cup of calm the hell down? It'll get here when it gets here, it's like they're going to pull a duke nukem forever on us. :p

[corruptbiggins]

Can't remember it exactly, but I think it was something like that.

The Steam code was so that people got a Steam version as well as the TTG version because late on they realised that they wouldn't be able to get their version linked up with Steam so that when you unlock one of the TF2 items in the game it would be unlocked in TF2 as well. That is why they gave Steam copies to everyone who bought the TTG version, not because of release times.

[ADavidson]

All I have to say is this. Mike, Telltale team

YOU BETTER PICK CONTEST WINNERS FROM YOUR LOYAL CUSTOMERS!!!!

I don't care if you have to be underhanded, don't pick any Steam customers lol Give us some redemption here!

[xMezzofortex]

It is coming out today be patient seriously. How big of a first world problem is this? The game will be released during the times they said it would be they posted a few messages about it being during normal working hours PST. Now steam might have got it first and they might have had a counter that said 1 hour, but it will be out soon. Go for a walk around the block or take a shower, they are working, just wait.

[toothiersnow]

mike what about the xbox market place will that come out the same time as the pc release or is that a different day

nobody seems to know for sure, but the most logical guess is tomorrow, at least thats what im crossing my fingers for :D

[Goldrock]

from what im seeing and hearin steam is having some issues anyways so i guess im glad.

[bo0berry]

i just thought they were all talking about the pc version i just want to get it on my xbox did not know if it was a different release date

[Vainamoinen]

mike what about the xbox market place will that come out the same time as the pc release or is that a different day

Do you intend to ask that question again and again until you get a different answer than "tomorrow"? ;)

[bo0berry]

o sorry i did not see the tomorrow. so i did not under stand. i can wait a year i just asked.

[nateman12]

No, probably not the first time. But I think it's more frequent that TTG releases first. The present situation seems a bit unknown to me, while I've witnessed far more release days when people from the Steam forums suddenly popped in here and started crying. ;)

all i know is that my friend ordered off steam...and he is playing your game before i am right next to me...last time i "cut out the middle man" when i order...WE ALL SHALL GET ZOMBIE CAMEOS AS COMPENSATION!!!

[Freakshow]

It's been 53min... ;@!!!

[nateman12]

all i have to say is this. Mike, telltale team

you better pick contest winners from your loyal customers!!!!

I don't care if you have to be underhanded, don't pick any steam customers lol give us some redemption here!

yes!!

[corruptbiggins]

I laugh at all this angst. Will love it if every other episode is released here first. Then you'll see the other side cry, with lots of "why isn't it on Steam yet" as usually happens.

Not helpful I know, but I'm just passing the time.

[TelltalleUserFiora]

will it be out soon? i've been waiting all day and have'nt gotten any information?

[Tails89]

Look, think of this as an extra hour or so to pre-order at the 10% off price, enter the contest, and be rewarded with a less broken version of the game.

Steam users got the same discount, and entered in the contest. But if our version isn't bugged, it's worth it.

[ADavidson]

I have a feeling it IS bugged, and that's why they're delaying their DRM-free installer download

[Gibbeynator]

I just took my own advice and got in a last minute pre-order. Please don't turn out to be another Jurassic Park.

[WabbitTwaks]

I'll just wait patiently for it to become available here...

..and hope the issues Steam users are seeing are not main game problems.

[nateman12]

Steam users got the same discount, and entered in the contest. But if our version isn't bugged, it's worth it.

my friend is playing it from steam right next to me, no bugs, its running fine..(but i did make him put headphones in so the story doesn't get ruined) -_-

[JBright]

My first post was right when I woke up dued to annoyance,

but everybody, Maybe Re watch an episode or 2 of the walking dead? or go masturbate to kill 5 more mins, Instead of just waiting and waiting and getting frustrated.

Telltalegames knows how much and how bad we want it!!

[nomecopies]

31.3% people in Steam already finished the episode. How's that possible? It hasn't been out two hours!

[Vainamoinen]

What?? Not even an hour!

[ADavidson]

It's less than 500MB nome

[corruptbiggins]

There are still possible future advantages for being a Telltale customer. For instance, I would imagine some sort of disc release for the PC/Mac version will happen but it could take one of a few forms based on previous releases. One possibility is a simple collector's disc which should (if it happens) be available for free only for Telltale customers. Another possibility is a deluxe edition which would have a game disc as well as other assorted & related goodies which would supposedly be available at a discount to existing Telltale customers.

Now this is all guess work based on previous releases as they've not confirmed what they are doing for this once all the episodes are released but I don't think it's too much to hope for.

[Gibbeynator]

31.3% people in Steam already finished the episode. How's that possible? It hasn't been out two hours!

31.3% of Steam players got early review copies?

That doesn't make me feel better. ;) The issues may be specific system/component + main game related and your friend has a different setup.

Just sayin

[PainDealer]

They must be skipping dialogue.

[onesaint]

I can't give an exact time frame at the moment, but it's being worked on.

Mike are you able to check PMs? I know you must be busy!

[ADavidson]

The episodes are only about 2hrs, could be shorter or longer depending on dialog, exploration and choices. Sounds about right

[The_Ripper]

31.3% people in Steam already finished the episode. How's that possible? It hasn't been out two hours!

it's the 24th. Wheres my game?

no people who bought it through steam can download it

Don't really understand..are some people downloading from tt already? If so..what am I doing wrong??

We ordered from TT, that's what we did wrong

more than a 3rd of the ppl who bought thru steam have already finished their first playthrough!

Anyone know how to go about getting a refund? I'm gonna buy through steam...

[DrRadon]

You´r not getting to play the game until you went back to school to learn that 31.3 actually is less than 1/3of 100.

[corruptbiggins]

Also, I would imagine a few of those play through were done by the Telltale team and their testers.

[mortimernova]

i am so stoked. glad i slept in today. something told me it wouldn't be a 9am pst release.

[Goldrock]

lol yeah so much for 24th release its like 24 3/4th what is the problem ?! tt shoulda been prepped and ready for us like days even weeks ago lol.

[ADavidson]

You´r not getting to play the game until you went back to school to learn that 31.3 actually is less than 1/3of 100.

Duh, I was assuming a few more people have already beaten it too in the last 15minutes.

[the walking guybrush]

i am so stoked. glad i slept in today. something told me it wouldn't be a 9am pst release.

would have been if you had bought it through steam

[DrRadon]

I am actualy a bit jellus of steam play. I´ll not be able to play all 5 episodes on one comuter. Is there a way to transfere savefiles?

[crazyliteral]

so can those of us who pre-ordered get a steam code or something? I hardly consider this fair marketing.

[Chillforce]

How long has it been and still no game? This is killing me.

Protip: Next time, wait one more day for release. That way you can iron out the details you're ironing out now, rather than on release date.

Inb4: Smart alec reply that the new release date is tomorrow.

[ZSloth11]

You´r not getting to play the game until you went back to school to learn that 31.3 actually is less than 1/3of 100.
There are at least four grammatical errors in that sentence, so it appears that he's not the only one who needs to go back to school.

[Optimaximal]

You do know 33% of 3 people is 1?

Also, I bought from TTG because after Paypal magically change the currency around, it cost me £14 rather than £20.99 Steam want.

[DrRadon]

Our build of the game is coming VERY SOON. I know the short delay sucks, but it's a slightly different build and it needs to be fully uploaded to our CDN before you can download it. We definitely appreciate your patience.

Still no fully uploaded? Are you on a 56k modem over there?

True, TTG $24.99 and Steam 24.99€ in continental Europe which converts to $32.95 and that difference is worth a couple of pints.

date is today

I guess its bad enough that their games are in these bullshit "episodes" and they cant release like every other game does...complete, but they cant even deliver on time. I can care less about telltale, i only want it because its The Walking Dead. I never thought it would show up as slow as the dead.

but now i think its almost two hours after the steam release and nothing
and now one of my friends already downloaded it illegaly
and now im annoyed

[NastyBiscuts]

This is my first and last purchase from Telltalegames. Simply Pathetic. Hopefully next time Robert Kirkman will just contact David Cage and have Quantic Dream handle their franchise. Same concept, better game engine, more professional and overall just a better company.

Looks like I'm off to work without getting to play the game because I was wrong to support this company. Cheers.

You can round it any way you want. it's close enough to a third that you can call it that.

It's like berating someone for telling you it's a quarter past ten when it's 13 minutes and 41 seconds past ten. It's pedantic and not what is generally expected, us Humans aren't Commander Data or Mister Spock.

So?! How do you round 31,3 up to a solid 33+?! If your going to round it it would be 31.

[sirlummox]

When you set a release date, that date should be recognized. The game should have been ready to go. This won't put telltale in higher gaming recognition. I sorta hope it slaps them down. This is what happens when you try to be different. You're getting close to fail whale status.

[DrRadon]

You can round it any way you want.

No you can´t. There are rules in math... acept it already or they will never release the game.

[NastyBiscuts]

Lastly, If I had known I wouldn't be playing before work; I would have ordered the game from PSN and had 0 regrets.

[Mike]

It's still being worked on and the TTG release will be up ASAP. I know you all want a concrete timeframe, but I don't have one to offer at the moment. I do apologize for the delay.

With that said, there will be NO discussion of software piracy in this or any other thread. Don't do it. This is a zero tolerance policy here.

[Tails89]

Why are still arguing about the math? Who cares about that, really? Everyone should just calm down, watch or read some Walking Dead like I am to kill some time. The game will be out soon enough, Telltale is doing everything they can.

No. I took nobody's money. Read my signature. But a little spellcheck before posting don't hurt nobody, "realy". Das kriegst sogar du hin.

Improper grammar and horrible sentence structures seem to plague even the moderators here.

[WARP10CK]

Our build of the game is coming VERY SOON. I know the short delay sucks, but it's a slightly different build and it needs to be fully uploaded to our CDN before you can download it. We definitely appreciate your patience.

No worries Mike we are just excited I always buy your games straight through your site.

I am not a big fan of achievments anyway

[mastone13]

I too am one of the many that fell victim to pre-ordering from TTG. However, I don't mind waiting because I was taught patience. Also, like many have said before, what does it matter who downloads the first episode of the game first? A day is 23 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds long. The release date was announced to be on April 24th. The lot of you sound like whiny children. Please, be patient and grow up a little.

MmK? Thanks in advance.

[Kenneloth]

It's still being worked on and the TTG release will be up ASAP. I know you all want a concrete timeframe, but I don't have one to offer at the moment. I do apologize for the delay.

With that said, there will be NO discussion of software piracy in this or any other thread. Don't do it. This is a zero tolerance policy here.

/agree

[serverfull]

Wow...I have why is everyone so upset. It will be up today guys. Give the TT group some time. Nerd rage won't make it come faster. They are building it now and then have to upload it. This all takes time. It shows they have been smashing bugs up until release.

I love your games guys and keep up..some of us aren't just refreshing and venting anger over something that doesn't even matter.

[Laserschwert]

You can round it any way you want. it's close enough to a third that you can call it that.

It's like berating someone for telling you it's a quarter past ten when it's 13 minutes and 41 seconds past ten. It's pedantic and not what is generally expected, us Humans aren't Commander Data or Mister Spock.
Hey, I'm not the one posting links to math rules, Mr. Spock ;)

Is it even piracy if you payed for the game 4 weeks ago? >_>

The wait is silly, who is up for a 4v4 monobattle on SC2? EU Servers!

[Vainamoinen]

You have to realize that you are a representative of authority in this situation and will be attacked as such being that since you have the moderator tag, you are singled out from the masses.

Must be one of these days. Actually, judging from the present course of the discussion, I'd really rather want to remain a moderator than become a mathematician in here. ;)

[tobar]

I for one am interested in what the differences are between the two builds of the game.

*ponders*

[Deronic]

i understand but can u say if it will be realesed today or do u have any ideas of how long and what seems to be the problem

[NastyBiscuts]

No worries Mike we are just excited I always buy your games straight through your site.

I'd be a fan of TTG getting their ducks in a row because that would be the biggest achievement of all.

To everyone saying that they should go watch The Walking Dead while they wait, don't. Read the comics. They're better. The acting in the show is terrible.

[JBright]

Where in this entire site, did it say the time of release was going to be at 9 or 10 or even 11?

It said during telltales business hours... They could have set the release date to next year if they wanted too...

I can't believe I have to share a forum with these kinds of morons that aren't supporting telltalesgames at their time of need...

Fcked up guys just Fcked up... Go get your refund I will be enjoying my game when it is out.

[Kenneloth]

I could check my post for errors but why should I invest my time when TT already has my money?

So you would rather give your money to Valve then? Please dont do that! ;)

Yesh, I get this. And i sorta agree. But a lot of people who purchased on the official site came from europe. To remove the $ > Euro scam stuff steam does.

So with that reason in mind, It sucks thinking its about 9PM in most part of europe. Many wanting to play before bed or such and not wait a extra day.

Same for me, I only purchased to get rid of the $ to euro stuff. And i would really like to play before bed. And not planning to stay up till 4am waiting :p

I can wait though, Just saying why most europe people are raging now.

[nateman12]

Keep up the good work Moderators and Developers!!

Very Excited for this game!

im sorry if i complayned its just im so exited abote this game but i do not regret i bought it from TTG ill be waiting

Tell me a comic book who works as an actor. :D:D

why not?

on steam i paid for something and i will get ist early most directly.



But do not worry, I've just bought From Dust on steam

OMFG! Just kidding. Do what feels best.

[NastyBiscuts]

Just for those who are unaware of basic laws here:

Although piracy may seem like a non-offense due to the intangibility of the items in mention, it is still considered stealing. In the case of the comment which was removed if anybody saw it; just because you paid 4 weeks ago for a single copy does not entitle you to download a secondary, illegal source.

To put it into perspective imagine this: You are at a record store (because you somehow found one) and you purchase an album. Now that purchase does not entitle you to take a second of the same album and walk out of the store without paying.

Thus pirating is illegal regardless of what you paid for.

[PainDealer]

I've noticed that the only people who are complaining are new users who made accounts solely to complain. People who HAVE bought a Telltale Game before know that this sort of thing happens all the time.

Not true, to buy a game you need to have an account so if they created accounts just to complain they haven't bought the game then.

[ADavidson]

Isn't Monkey Island all about software Piracy???

;op

[Laserschwert]

I'm not the one who doesnt understand how to convey basic concepts.
Calling a rounded third "more than a third" is still an odd way to round.

[toothiersnow]

Tell me a comic book who works as an actor. :D:D

I knew one comic book who tried to make it as an actor, moved to LA and everything, said he was going to make it big, make it big on his own, last i heard he had fallen in with bad people, and was hiring himself as a pamphlet just to score some ink.

[MrNoodle]

I've noticed that the only people who are complaining are new users who made accounts solely to complain. People who HAVE bought a Telltale Game before know that this sort of thing happens all the time.

I've purchased plenty of TT games. And saying "it happens all the time" isn't really an ringing endorsement of TT.

[PsychoRaven]

To everyone saying that they should go watch The Walking Dead while they wait, don't. Read the comics. They're better. The acting in the show is terrible.

We can argue over that instead of math.

Can't we love both? I do. Sure there are things I dislike on the show but surprise there are a couple things I don't like in the comics. Both are damn good though and have pros and cons.

[Xelm]

Not true, to buy a game you need to have an account so if they created accounts just to complain they haven't bought the game then.

+ Rep, Thank you. This is true :p

[kikyouchanx]

Shhh.. patience people.

[Chillforce]

I guess its bad enough that their games are in these bullshit "episodes" and they cant release like every other game does...complete, but they cant even deliver on time. I can care less about telltale, i only want it because its The Walking Dead. I never thought it would show up as slow as the dead.

That adds to the realism I think...
Everyone got a plan? I've got a pizza and some soda. Bringing friends over as well. We're going to play every permutation of this first episode today.

Steam = 1

TTG = Fail

[silver42]

OMG! Guys! Get a grip! You will have the game in the next 24hs, and happily playing away! TTG can't help it if Steam puts the game out first. Is it really that life-threatening to NOT play this game for a few more hours? :) Is it that annoying that others start to play before you? Really?! Relax! ;)

[NastyBiscuts]

I am pretty sure that the laws would apply to where the content is licensed to, which in this case a company based in the U.S.

[nateman12]

Well...ima play LoL...tierd of waiting

[JammDunn]

Is there some sort of ETA for this game yet?

[NastyBiscuts]

Damn, I am going to be late to work now. Damn you TTG for making me late for work by exasperating my TWD addiction.

[cormoran]

Calling a rounded third "more than a third" is still an odd way to round.

Like i said, Humans aren't Spock or Data. You expecting them to get it exactly perfect down to decimal points is only going to result in you being constantly let down.

Now, where's the bloody game?

[jannar85]

Patience guys. Patience.

Look at the bright side guys. The Telltale site and forums are up unlike when Screaming Narwhal came out. That time TTG servers just melted and there was no info at all.

[Danny_HR]

It's still being worked on and the TTG release will be up ASAP. I know you all want a concrete timeframe, but I don't have one to offer at the moment. I do apologize for the delay.

With that said, there will be NO discussion of software piracy in this or any other thread. Don't do it. This is a zero tolerance policy here.

You must have missed my message. Can we ask for a refund now, or is it too late?

I would like to have the game on Steam where i have most of my games.

[Freakshow]

---___---

[mortimernova]

i can understand the european customer frustration. i would be pissed if it was 10pm right now and i had to wait until the following day too. but, at the same time, normal business hours pst means just that. you knew this when you ordered it. when i had to go through the fallout operation anchorage dlc debacle, i realized that these things happen. that day i took the day off work and ms didn't get it out until the following day. i was livid. at least today i have the day off so i'll get to play it tonight. i just feel bad for my neighbors across the pond.

[Kenneloth]

Patience guys. Patience.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKq5Jc7gNOk

Your braking my balls.

[brendonac]

As soon as it comes out for Telltale's site, we'll let you know. It's out on Steam if you ordered it there.

Thank you.

do we have an eta? minutes,hours, days? even rough is fine

Can we get a bit in the way of a serious explanation as to why the game wasn't ready to deploy yesterday? It should have been done on the 23rd if you wanted to release it on the 24th. This really is unacceptable and will significantly harm your profit. There's already quite a few people discussing refunds. I expected my copy to be out this morning when I woke up(5 AM CST). Video game releases should be done at midnight; all major developers do it this way.

When people come to expect something and change happens, it will result in a negative reaction.

[mortimernova]

i've been playing ttg games for years now so i know the quality of what we're about to get into. they are one of the few companys keeping the adventure game genre alive. i grew up playing primarily only adventure games so it's nice to see that a comic that i love is making the transition into my favorite gaming genre. waiting or not, i'm excited. althought i wish i was playing already, getting angry isn't going to start the game any sooner. if anything, i'd just be irritated when i do finally get to play it. time to remain positive and patient and let the anticipation well up until it explodes all over the place in a hot and sticky climax of... err... i lost my train of thought...

[ADavidson]

Actually in the USA as well. Anything you own usership rights to, you have a right to personal copies as long as you aren't giving them out or selling them.

The reason torrents are illegal is if you are a "good seeder" and have 1:1 ratio you have technically distributed a "WHOLE COPY" of said material, thus causing it to be illegal.
If you just leech off of it, upload a minute amount of data, you are technically not breaking the law.

There's a lot more to read about, but look into it. All kinds of technicalities and whatnot.

I'm not advocating piracy whatsoever, just saying everyone who purchases any media content has a right to personal copies so their original is not in danger. I always copied casettes, CDs, and even DVDs so I wouldn't scratch or ruin the originals. Cuz then I wouldn't be able to use my purchased content. Do the record companies send you a new copy when yours is scratched and doesn't work anymore?????

I think not.

[Chillforce]

Damn, I am going to be late to work now. Damn you TTG for making me late for work by exasperating my TWD addiction.

Just quit your job. Better than missing the chance to play this game. I might buy two copies of it if the game takes too much longer to release.

[Spambo]

I knew one comic book who tried to make it as an actor, moved to LA and everything, said he was going to make it big, make it big on his own, last i heard he had fallen in with bad people, and was hiring himself as a pamphlet just to score some ink.

So sad... it's a slippery slope - starting on a low print-run soft cover and before you know it they're into hardcover compendiums.

I have a fever, and the cure is this video game!

The fever will only increase over time. I will lose my appetite and my bones will ache. If this game isn't released before 5 CST, I will die. On the positive side, I will rise again as a zombie and won't need the game because the premise is now reality!

Be happy it isn't released on Telltales site yet. Look at the lower threads there are about 8 threads dedicated to steam problems with the walking dead so don't ask for a refund just so you can buy the faulty test copy that steam received this morning. Telltale customers are most likely getting a prepatched copy

[DownTown1984]

ok so i seen its on steam not on ttg site but i dont see anyone talking about the xbox release any info is appruciated

You think? That would suck balls. I wanna play!

[Funktion]

It's a bit disappointing, to say the least, that a customer who orders directly from the company behind a game to support it gets "penalized" for doing so.
You would expect that the game would be made available at the same time (or before) other retail channels, but the truth is the game is out on Steam for a few hours by now, and still no sign of the game.

It wouldn't bother me much, except I was looking forward to play the game a bit tonight, since tomorrow is a national holiday, but it's already night here in Europe, and as the hours pass it seems I won't be able to do so.

Hopefully this won't happen in the future.

[MrNoodle]

really sucks i want to get my money back even if i have to pay 50cents more to get it on steam. wtf TT???

[MrKain]

Well, now that I know I could have been signed up for the sontest even through Steam... Steam is definitely getting my money when Fables comes out. Sorry TT, but no more direct buys for you... I'd rather have the game come out when they SAY it's coming out...

Buh.

true. i would be so much angrier if i got a copy that i couldn't play. i'd rather not have it at all if that was the case. think how you'd feel if you bought something right before a store closed only to find out that it was missing a vital component thus rendering it usless until the store reopened the following day. i, for one, would rather just sit on my hands and wait.

[jannar85]

Your braking my balls.

Work done :) Did it work? ;)
Actually, Kenneth, you're already playing TWD.

[SurplusGamer]

Yeah, no kidding. I've been supporting Telltale since Bone, and deliberately chose to pre-order directly from TTG because that's what I've always done except for console versions. Because I wasn't sure about this game, I waited. But I pre-ordered today, only to find out afterwards that if I'd got it from Steam I could already be playing. None too pleased.

Oh, how I miss the days when waiting for an episode was actually fun! People played forum games in the waiting thread and posted fan art while enjoying the wait... ah, good old times.

I've never played a Telltale game, I am here because I like walking dead, but I personally think this whole getting mad because its not out exactly on 4/24 is pretty lame. It will be here, just be excited for it.

[tobar]

Well it kills time reading flame comments.

True. I've been sharing some of them with a friend of mine. :p

[Moragami]

I've noticed that the only people who are complaining are new users who made accounts solely to complain. People who HAVE bought a Telltale Game before know that this sort of thing happens all the time.So, if we buy our games from TT regularly, we'll have low expectations like you? No thanks.

The issue is, a downloadable version of the game is already released and beaten by gamers on Steam, yet those who supported this company directly (my first telltale game ever), are still waiting, with no clear expectations.

I'm not angry about it, but I am a bit surprised by the development, and, as I do buy 95% of my games through Steam, yes, I am still regretting not ordering from Steam. I'm not alone in that either.

Yup, I say no more Telltale games on Steam. And give us the Season DVD back. Concerning the fan art... well, it would have been gruesome stuff in this case, wouldn't it? Although Irishmile DID deliver great art...

[toivohomi]

How about an update on the status of the game? I'm looking at you TT! This is a joke and an insult to your customers. Get your s*** together. Out

If I'd known it was coming out on April 24th around, say, February 24th I might have tried to rearrange my schedule. :) I'll be happy if it's available by Thursday night when I will have a couple of contiguous free hours to play it.

So for two dollars more I could have purchased this game on steam. That means I could be playing right now before I have to go to work. I'm not irate, but I am very disappointed. This will greatly effect how I spend my money with your company in the future. Maybe an apology is in order. If you value my money, then think about it, and correct your self accordingly.

Well it kills time reading flame comments.

haha ain't that the truth. the only reason i'm still perusing this particular forum is because my usual daily forums are dead at the moment... mostly in anticipation of this games release. i wish i had monkey island readily available to get psyched up for today's adventure game. oh well.

I wait until all 5 Episodes of TWD and after i download all Installer i will delete my TTG Account again. I dont support such kind of work.

TWD is the first game from TTG and was the last one

Lawl. Go do that then. Bye bye! :)

[MrKain]

Meh, I don't want a refund. They'd get my money either way... I just wish I had some guarantee that I'd get the game before my girl got home. She wants to check it out, too... it was part of our "stay at home" plans for the night.

I mean, I have Skyrim to default to otherwise... No need to be truly impatient.

Couldn't you delete it right away, you spoiled brat? It would be better for everyone :)

[PainDealer]

Any one who was around for BTTF knows how crazy the releases can be, all of you asking for refunds are idiots.

Haha that was hilarious those who pre-ordered couldn't unlock it. Small bug in the system :D

So, if we buy our games from TT regularly, we'll have low expectations like you? No thanks.

The issue is, a downloadable version of the game is already released and beaten by gamers on Steam, yet those who supported this company directly (my first telltale game ever), are still waiting, with no clear expectations.

I'm not angry about it, but I am a bit surprised by the development, and, as I do buy 95% of my games through Steam, yes, I am still regretting not ordering from Steam. I'm not alone in that either.

So basically what you're saying is, you'd rather have bought your game from steam so you could have been one of those percentages of people to have beaten it within an hour time frame? Sounds like a waste of a good 20 bucks to me.. I'd rather wait, have the problems reviewed and fixed, then take my time enjoying the game.. Back to repetitive L4D2 for you.. (Nothing against the game, playing it currently.)

Laser... would you turn down the personal insults, please?

[Laserschwert]

If only I had your patience...

To all those that are demanding refunds because the game is a little late: Get out of here and come back when you have learned about patience. If it's a little late, then it's a little late. It's no big deal.

For the more patient:

I've never played a Telltale game, I am here because I like walking dead, but I personally think this whole getting mad because its not out exactly on 4/24 is pretty lame. It will be here, just be excited for it.

Yep. Any true TWD fan is used to having to wait long past the announced day for the latest book - although to be fair it's been much better recent years - and faster with #96 ;)

[ericlr]

Oh, how I miss the days when waiting for an episode was actually fun! People played forum games in the waiting thread and posted fan art while enjoying the wait... ah, good old times. Now Telltale makes games of big mainstream franchises, with the downside of attracting all possible scum(m) and human waste to the forums...

When a company says on it's website the night before the game comes out that it'll come out the next day, so preorder now... then I expect they will keep their word. It doesn't make me scum to hold people accountable for what they say. If the game is out on steam already, then this is a huge error on TT's part. To ignore that makes you ignorant. Maybe you like businesses to treat you like you don't matter, but I don't and I won't be giving them anymore money.

[GentlemenCinder]

Right? It was TERRIBLE and I may just love Back to the Future more than I do The Walking Dead.

My point is, so you may have to wait a few hours to play it, god knows I'd love the distraction right now cause it's been a BAAAAAAD day, but would you rather wait a few hours like patient little meatbags or have no studio who was willing to take the time and energy to even attempt making a game based off of a comic that is as WONDERFUL as TWD

Y'all is just impatient children. Also how about (assuming that the most of you just watch the show) you get off your asses and read the damn comics, that's where the games based and it's an AMAZING read I'm sure 96 issues can occupy your time till it comes out.

[Kamekjay]

Very disappointed!

I'm just saying, this isn't the first time one of their games has been indefinitely delayed to the end of the day, and it won't be the last.

And heck, it is my understanding that it was MUCH worse back in the Gametap days. Sam and Max would be EXCLUSIVELY available to Gametap subscribers for at least a day before TTG put out their version. IIRC, the first season had a TWO WEEK exclusivity period.

They have more than 11 hours left to still keep "their word". But I expect they'll hardly need that much.

[z0mKi]

I do not want a refund as whats done is done. I won't be making any future purchases through TT though.

[Laserschwert]

Wenn ich anschließend das bezahlte spiel trotzdem noch bekomme, wäre ich schon weg :p

lass mich doch verwöhnt sein. Jeder fordert doch von mir auch immer alles gleich und direkt.
I that case just stop posting at the forums... it has the same effect as deleting your account AND you get to download your games. And everyone's happy :)
