  • Did you see a lot of players ignoring optional conversations or clickables? Just curious since you've already seen the episode.

    Unfortunately most of the Youtubers basically speedrun through the episodes, so it's hard to tell how long it really is.

  • They don't ignore conversations (at least not all of them), but they do ignore clickables (which is really annoying) and 'look at' options.

  • No trust me if he has it on xbox one then he didn't get it early.

    Some have it on Xbox One already too and have posted. xCageGames for example. It's listed as "bundle only" on the xbox store but that link leads to nothing yet. So he must have gotten an early code and broke the embargo.

    and there'll be raptors that Michonne and Pete will tame and ride off into the next episode with.

    Clever girls...

    I think I'll have to skip the forum until the weekend. Sialark wants me to watch her playthrough on skype when she plays the first episode o

  • Well, there's one good thing to come out of this. I am replaying the entire game and I haven't even started 400 Days yet, and have to go through all of Season 2 by tomorrow. So it's not super long that I might be able to play it tomorrow.

    Most playthroughs (judging from time length of the video/s) completed it in under 90 minutes no idea if they rushed or not though

  • Well, it depends on your play style. Most 1 and half episodes take me around 2 hours because I do everything.

    Aww, I was starting to like the longer episodes.

  • It still won't be more than a few minutes in variation. If you look at everything and take a long time to reply, you still won't take much longer. I'd say if you really take your time you'll take 100-105 minutes instead of 90.

    They're only playthroughs. The youtubers might've rushed the episode. You never really know until you play it yourself

  • Yeah, most people blasted through episode 3 of Story Mode in about 80 minutes and I was able to get another 10-15 minutes of playtime exploring every little thing. Story Mode probably isn't the best example since that series has a lot of exploration, but I'm sure most people here can get through Michonne in just under 100 minutes.

  • It's because of the community. They stopped making 6 hours longer episodes from when twd s1 ended.

  • Thats a Little....underwhelming to Be Honest. I Really wish we could get 2h Long Episodes again. The easy way would Be Hubs, that you can skip If you want. So you can rush through them OR you could take your Time And talk to People. Hubs Are Pretty essential for TWD imo. Because you get to Know the characters through Dialogues, without doing extra scenes or something. I could let TTG get away with this, because it's a Michonne mini-series. But i Will Be Really pissed, If Season 3 Will Be the same, sorry for sounding aggressive, Streamlined Shit. I don't want one over-the-top Action scene after another. I want good characters And i want to know, who they are. So If someone from Telltale is reading this: We want Hubs. No cheap Walker Slashing! #Walkerlivesmatter

    I'm going to play devil's advocate here and say that shorter episodes kinda make sense for this. I mean, it is a mini-series, and the episodes have pretty close release dates. It's still going to equal out to about ~5 hours with all three episodes. I don't think short episodes are necessarily bad, it just depends whether or not enough story can -- or is -- being told in that time frame. Some episodes of S2 would have fared better if they had some extra time, but from what I've seen, I think that In Too Deep accomplished what it needed to/what it set out to in the 90 minute mark.

  • You should watch Thegirlfromaus if she decides to play this game. Her reactions are priceless.

    I guess, I was just getting ready but my laptop is such an asshole. At least I'll watch Swingpoynt, Jacksepticeye, Infernokun, Gameover Ent and probably Pewdiepie play this.

  • No midnight release?

  • It is already out in psn Europe!

  • Is that "The Gipper" Ridin' a raptor? So that Ronald Regan Rides a Raptor during the Rapture! Resoundingly outstanding out standing I'd say 10/10 Well done!

    and there'll be raptors that Michonne and Pete will tame and ride off into the next episode with. Pretty positive on the raptors. Thanks for spoiling the episode. Now the introduction of raptors in Walking Dead won't be a surprise!

    Yeah, as a miniseries an hour and a half is about what I expected anyways, it's not a full telltale game and considering it was originally planned to be DLC I would say that's a decent running time. If it were season 3 I would understand the complaints.

    I guess I would understand the problem that the game is priced as three regular telltale episodes so people would want their money's worth of play time.

  • I just went on ps store and don't see it. I HOPE come midnight est it will be available for purchase. Also curious if completing of the previous walking dead (1 or 2) games matters whatsoever or not. I will assume no.

    Man, this is a pet peeve of mine. I'm a big exploration buff when it comes to games in general, so seeing people passing up all these opportunities to get more story bits or just get to know characters better kinda aggravates me. I mean sure, they're minor, but there tends to be a lot of cool background stuff in Telltale's games.

  • So, does it hit the PSN at midnight est (United States)?

  • ... [looks at comments]

    no...

    Like but Jesus the Youtube comment sections

  • He hinted that Telltale was looking into experimenting with potential Twitch chat/mobile implementation for their games where multiple people could vote for the best choice, which was interesting to hear. I guess that explains why they opted to publish the Jackbox Party Pack for retail (since some of the games included already do something similar to what Job was describing as Telltale also having been interested in recreating as well).

  • That was hilarious! Some of the zombie questions were so profound but so ridiculous at the same time X3

  • Since we're close to release date, would hope the mods put a countdown because it sucks having a different timezone. it would help a lot, thanks

  • its a '' mini-series '' because there is only 3 eps instead of 5 or 6. and for that reason alone the ep should at least be a little longer. because we wont get enough time with the character, and why is there playthroughs already of this? it releases tmrw?

    I knew that voice sounded familiar. While I give Life is Strange a lot of shit, especially for it's VA, I will say that he and Ashly Burch (Chloe) did do a good job, I think he'll do great in this.

    It is, he confirmed it on twitter

  • So.. When can I buy the stand-alone version?

  • I knew it...

    * Man: Every person we find living, they got some dead with them. Who was it for you, I wonder? Father? Mother? * Michonne's Daughter: Mamm

  • Man I don't know what to say. Xbox One is going through some trouble where you cant access a digital game and the the Xbox store wont show some of its games. This might be a problem for TWD Michonne.

    Yup, it's Derek Phillips. He's a joy to work with!

  • We can't do that because we don't know the exact moment when the game launches on different platforms. Each storefront updates at its own time, and Telltale doesn't really have a consistent time in the day when they upload their episodes. I think Steam updates at 10 am PST, but I'm not certain.

  • Yeah, I really prefer episodes that are a bit longer.

    Well that's disappointing, but for me, it will probably be around an hour and 45 minutes. But still, I really hope Telltale doesn't go back to the 90 minute episodes.

  • 6 hour episodes never existed...ever. Not even older Telltale series had a 6 hour episode.

    It's because of the community. They stopped making 6 hours longer episodes from when twd s1 ended.
