Many of us have had our fill of Telltale’s supreme The Walking Dead game already, having downloaded and played all 5 episodes during their release periods. Now all is left to have friends play the game to experience it for themselves, and luckily, just in time, Telltale has released a retail version of The Walking Dead, unfortunately, it might not be that easy.
GamingUnwrapped staff member, Karras Lambert, reports that the retail version of The Walking Dead is a “buggy unplayable mess”, reporting extreme slowdown and even frequent freezing. Curiously, we conducted more research and discovered that the Telltale support forums are ablaze with angry fans complaining of a faulty product, some even demanding a recall of the game.
This is the realist you’ll ever see us. Come hang out and talk Telltale with us. We wanna know your thoughts! Leave us comments!
Talking Telltale is a weekly Podcast/Videocast. Coming soon to iTunes!
Before the announcement that a heavily narrative focussed Walking Dead video game was announced in 2012, Telltale games was a development studio that not particularly well known. Despite putting out other similar properties with Back to the Future: The Game and Jurassic Park: The Game, the products were largely met with a very mixed and ultimately tepid response from the public. The rampant acclaim and runaway success reached with The Walking Dead launched the developer into one of the most anticipated and favourable studios out there with one revolutionary product.
I think the walking dead story telling is amazing. I really love the games and think that they bring the respect of gaming story telling up in the world of entertainment in general :)
A reflection on the business perspective of Telltale Games.
Guess what I won't be buying. The first 10 messages I read on the Telltale forum were all about how broken the game was. What makes it worse is they delayed the game but apparently they didn't fix anything. Better still that the game is just as broken on both the PS3 and 360. Try to figure that one out?
this is bizarre to me. I played the pc version episode by episode and never crashed or glitched or lagged once. Not sure what changed in the full retail.
I'very recently bought ep.3 (ya I'm behind) and have encountered a glitch on the train where I can't prime engine. Restarted checkpoint, restarted chapter, restarted episode. And it never fixed itself. Then somehow I started the WHOLE game over to the beginning of ep. 1. Took two days to get back to the train... it was still glitched out. I really enjoyed the game so far, but I've become so frustrated...
To clarify I downloaded eps 1-3, haven't gotten retail version.
so is it a disk retail problem then? if that's the case i'll buy the digital version instead
If the Xbox Live Xmas sales is anything to go by, I think TWD 1-5 are all on sale some time this Christmas so I think i'll get on board with this newly crowned game of the year.
