Release Tales on world wide date not stupid USA date!!!
 
Can u please release the game on the 20th and not the 21st. America is like 16 hours behind the rest of the world so the whole world sees the 20th and we then get annoyed that we are not able to download the episode till 1am on the 21st!

Here is an idea - u release it at 12am (ie the very morning) on the 20th and then the rest of the world will actually get the game on the 20th and not the next day

How do u like them apples?

Its not rocket science!

An erudite point well made sir!

What a stupid thing to say.

"America is like 16 hours behind the rest of the world" haha, what?! That's correct, every other country in GMT+0 except America which is GMT-16.

They specified the time zone FFS! If your too stupid to work out when that will be for you then its not their fault.

16 hours???? what???

12 at most I think

And they do release it at the same time.... if they would do it at the same time clock-wise, Americans would be really P.O-ed and it would be a hell of a job to unlock each timezone manually

Apples?

I'll give you dis pear

a3HeadedMonkey 08/20/2009 05:13 am

America have always been a little bit behind, but it's not nice to make fun of slow people so stop it!

Toothless Gibbon 08/20/2009 05:19 am

Slow people as in Americans or the OP?

As far as i'm aware it's still the 20th in most places, isn't it? :confused:

And being condescending and rude is no way to get your own way young man.

Is this really the place for this discussion? Seems to be getting awfully close to country bashing on a discriminating level.

As for the release: as has been siad before, they said it would be american time when released (cause Telltale is in the US), so the rest of the world (including me) will just have to wait. Boohoohoo...get over it.

Marill 08/20/2009 05:24 am

American company.

American game.

American timezones.

American release time.

It'd be like complaining to Square Enix, Atlus? or something that the Japanese get their games first, and how unfair it is that America and Europe have to wait a little longer (meh Europe usually a LOT longer) ¬_¬

Ahoy De Fancypants 08/20/2009 05:25 am

America gets most games months ahead of us in Europe, so I don't see why you guys are complaining over the pond... It's only afew hours between for this one, I know I'm grateful for that! :cool:

Telltale is an American company, thus it runs off American time. To think otherwise is conceited and hypocritical.

This is not a case of "America thinks it rules the world," it's just life. Deal with it!

bobdevis 08/20/2009 05:26 am

They should just specify date, time and timezone for next release.
Everyone can do their own math for local time.

JakeLOL 08/20/2009 05:27 am

If I were Telltale would definetly make sure to release early 20th PST- Just to keep these posts off the forum.

jamiehavok 08/20/2009 05:27 am

geez do you people really have nothing better to do than complain about a release date which has barely come yet, it does not mean it will be released at midnight pst. telltale employees have lives and need sleep also. its not even working hours on the 20th yet - get over it!!! go ouside, play another game whatever!!

They said 20th (PST) what more do you want?

It's not difficult to work out that it may be later for you.

The OP is giving non-Americans a bad name.

QFT. This is a matter of Time Zones. We would be having the same discussion if the company were in Canada or Baja California in Mexico.

Geralt 08/20/2009 05:29 am

Oh no! You can't wait until tomorrow, you have to come to a forum and cry about it!

Jesus... just be patient. Go to bed and play in the morning, even if that means getting up early before school.

Avistew 08/20/2009 05:30 am

Geez, they even specified the time zone. If you're so cranky, just assume it will be out on the 21st and don't check until then. You can't blame them, they gave a date an a time zone. They didn't say "On the 20th, internationally" (like it's even possible. It's never the same day everywhere in the world) they said "on the 20th PST". PST is GMT - 8 if you didn't know.

It's only 6:30 for them right now, give them some more time.

And if you're upset about timezones you should complain to the Earth for being round. Stupid Earth.


All times are GMT -8. The time now is 04:09 am.
