The wait irritated me,
but I am now enraged to find that after buying it,
I still can not play it as I have a MAC!!!

This release is shambolic!

You may be good game designers and developers,
but you really need to learn how to become a game publisher.

Telltale is not a huge global games giant like EA who have their retail products pre-stocked globally to be let loose on a timezone specific date; nor do they have multi-national servers that unleash the game in timezone specific waves.

They are in CA the USA and they release it when its ready, which will be in working hours of that timezone.

You need to learn how to not be an impatient brat, it'll be out on pc and mac within the 15th of november in their timezone. Even if its late in the day, or the following day for other timezones.

Why was it release at nearly the end of TTG business hours?
And why is it STILL not available for MAC?
especially now TTG has my money, I want my product!!!

If the game is not ready to publish, it would have been better for TTG to post an apologetic message this morning saying the release date had been prospered, rather than leaving people waiting.

I know it's rather difficult. But if it's still being worked on it's still being worked let me ask you this would you prefer something that's not ready for release and doesn't hold up to the quality of the JP Franchise..would you still accept it?

So i preorder the first round and now the second round, waited most of the day checking the web to see if the download is up. Jurassic park home page says buy now for mac and pc. when you go to download there is no mac version to download.... I would really hate to have bought the game today saying mac version is available now. Then when i go to download the mac version is no place to be found.... TELLTALE is really starting to let me down, If you say a game is coming out on a certain day you release the game that day... don't says its available and then it not actually be available for download....

Then when you go to FAQ hidden nice and small at the bottom it says that the mac client isn't up yet, and there is no timeframe of when it will be.

DONT SAY THE GAME IS UP WHEN ITS NOT!!!

*Mike* · 11/15/2011, 04:18 pm

This is covered in the FAQ at the top of the forum. The Mac version will be up a bit later today. Sorry for the delay.

Are you 5 years old, or are you a mayfly with the life expectancy of not much more than a day that you simply can not wait, if a delayed game for a few hours really gets you this upset, how on earth do you deal with more serious issues. Really. I don't mean to judge anyone but come on dude. I'm in the UK, I use a MAC, its 1.20am and I think I'll quite happily wake up tomorrow morning and download the MAC version, the game is not going to evaporate over night like your formula milk, now toys back in your pram.

Perhaps not, but if the first episode needs to be split out in order to placate the Blu-ray purchasers, then at least an upgrade bundle will need to be in place, otherwise those who use those vouchers to get the free episode will be sorely disappointed that they would need to re-purchase the first episode to get the rest.

Just sounds like Mac buyers remorse... Oh I kid.... But seriously you will get your game for the Mac on the 15th US time.. You were OK with getting it on the 15th when you bought it.... They never once said a specific time.

No I would not prefer something that's not ready for release,
but I would be a lot more understanding if they admitted it is not ready a lot earlier.

It is now 5:30 PM PST (again their timezone not mine, any comment about timezones is irrelevant) so there has not been a release in their office hours as they said.

It takes some serious mental gymnastics to arrive at that logic ^

No matter how you spin it, they should not have put the Mac version up for sale if it wasn't available to "download now"

That's whats called a pre-order.

Emo Hoe · 11/15/2011, 04:33 pm

They are still there at the office and replying here and they said it will be today.
So IT WILL BE TODAY.

Given the time I'd expect it to turn up within the hour, but they have 6 1/2 hours yet.

Man people need to stop moaning and let Telltale release their game for your Macholes.

God why is it that people who use Macs are complete assholes?

Now now. I don't think that everyone who uses a Mac is an arsehole. That is a silly thing to say, just as saying that everyone who uses a windows machine would not be an asshole. But I'm not getting into the whole MAC Vs PC subject. Yes, I do use both OS's.

*Mike* · 11/15/2011, 04:41 pm

The Mac client is available now.

DFSpace · 11/15/2011, 04:42 pm

For all you eager MAC beavers, the MAC version is now available for download. Be happy, smile

Are you guys now going to work on getting episode 1 up for the people who redeemed codes? Will it be up tonight?

spikesboy · 11/15/2011, 04:57 pm

hell i cant even download the pc version as it keeps crashing so quit moaning about 1 episode

supersleuth · 11/15/2011, 06:06 pm

Hey I am having some graphics issues with my downloaded copy and the settings menu isn't giving me the option of changing the graphics resolution. Everything is dark and in the shadows. Is the menu screen's background supposed to be black? The in game graphics are pretty much the same nothing but a moving shadow and that's it. I have a few other games that play fine on this computer so what could the issue be? Everything downloaded fine and when I installed it it said direct x was updated and nothing needed to be changed. So whats wrong and how can I fix it?

**puzzlebox** · 11/15/2011, 06:11 pm

Hey supersleuth, would appreciate it if you could post a thread over on the support forum for the graphics issue, you'll get a better response there. Thanks!

hey can anyone tell me do i have to get gold on every scenario in the first chapter before chapter 2 will unlock? because i finished chapter 1 and when i go to begin chapter 2 it just refreshes

*Mike* · 11/15/2011, 08:56 pm

No, you don't have to get golds in all the scenarios. Can you clarify what's happening exactly when you try to start Chapter 2?
