That only applies to movie-based games. As in recent movies where the game's development is rushed so it can be released the same time as the movie.

The reason why Telltale rushes their games is to meet the demands of the episodic format. Which it seems more and more like they should abandon.

They are all excuses, the point is TTG released Jurassic Park on PS3 and it doesn't work properly, if they actually gave a damn about their customers they would fix these bugs or at the very least keep them updated on the forum.

That is flat-out untrue. I've addressed your concerns multiple times, and I've told you repeatedly that I would post an update as soon as I had one.

Luke, just give it up man. We've made our points clear in the relevant threads. Harping on it more is just going to be considered trolling and piss off Telltale. It's obvious that they've seen what you have to say, and you're only risking getting banned by posting stuff like this in every thread. My only problem is the gamebreaking PS3 framerate issue, but you seem to hate the game all-around when one looks at all of your posts.

The only way to get legitimate issues for the game fixed is to act civil and hope that Telltale will be kind enough to make their product fully available to customers who bought it. It's not an unreasonable demand, but posting anti-TTG comments in every thread is going to make them even more disinclined to fix their game than they already are.

"Why would we want to fix our game for a guy like this who acts like such a know-it-all asshole?"

Yes, well, that's what's happened when gaming became more of a lifestyle than a hobby. This is due both to gamers themselves and many developers. The Mass Effect series is a perfect example of this. Many young people have played through those games for a significant portion of their lives, and now they're complaining about the illogical and dismal endings. I'm not saying that they're wrong, but it just shows how much gaming has changed. The involved mindset that many of us are in is due to the addition of complicated continuing stories between games in a series, making them feel personal to us. This paradigm moves on to games that are just one-shots, as is the case with much of the criticism of story in the Jurassic Park game. It's bad, yeah, but I'm not sure that it's worth criticizing or avoiding playing, as I did get a certain amount of entertainment from it up until Episode 4 glitched out to the point of unplayability for me.

That's because back then...

1. The Internet wasn't mainstream yet. Complainers still existed, but they were a lot harder to spot.

2. Video games as a whole were mainly directed towards children, who tend not to have discriminating tastes and will like almost anything you show them.

People weren't always content back then, though. My eight-year-old self was swearing up a storm after renting Superman 64 from Blockbuster.

I've seen you reply to my thread twice, and the last post was about a month ago. You should have said ages ago that their will be no patch because that is clearly the decision TTG have made and that is why i will never purchase another product from them again. They are a joke.

Did he say that? No, he said he'd let you know if there were any updates. It seems to me that you're determined to hate them no matter what, so take your troll *** outta here, mmkay?

Love how im the one at fault here

I pay money for a broken game but im the criminal, good luck with more money grabbing from the walking dead game TellTale. Cant wait too see you lose more customers and go bankrupt!

RAnthonyMahan · 03/20/2012, 01:12 pm

Jesus Christ, let go. I'm upset over a lot of Telltale's recent decisions myself, but I don't seize every chance I can to whine about it. You make me miss the more subtle anger of lattsam wanting the Hit the Road VAs back.

No, you're not wrong, but...uh...did you ever see The Big Lebowski?

It apparently costs upwards of $40,000 to release a patch on the Xbox 360 and PS3. I seriously doubt Telltale's going to sink that much money into this game anymore.

Thats beside the point though.
The game should not have been released in the state that it was, and the only way they could redeem themselves was if they patched it.
So they are the one's at fault and they can't blame not releasing a patch due to costs.

Yes they can. If a patch seriously costs that much, then I can definitely see why TellTale wouldn't do that. They're not going to be making any further money off of Jurassic Park, so why spend money that won't help them out financially?

Well if they dont want to do it because of finances, they shouldn't have released a game that doesn't work.

Doesn't work?

*checks* It must work well enough for there to be reviews of the game. And did it ever occur to you that it might be harder for TT to "fix" the PS3/360 versions?

Well my PS3 version of the game has frame rate problems every 10 seconds, that is a product that does not work as it was intended to do. So yes.

And boo hoo for Telltale it might be hard for them to fix the PS3 version? Well they shouldn't have released it in the first place then! They are the ones at fault here, i purchased a product that does not work as it should and they wont fix it. What a joke.

Are all the PS3 users having serious frame rate issues with the game or is it only you?
