    Agree just from playing S1 they needed 100,000 sales to break even and sold over 21 million they had the potential to make one of the best games ever made and expanded every feature in a massive extent but no took away everything I loved the most about S1(hubs, puzzles etc) plus story not as good. Just feel letdown they really could of made a special game not just a very good rushed one
  • I'm not trying to discourage you from making a point about this. As I agree that a point needs to be made about it. But I'd also not get your hopes up that anything will come of it.

    Well Morning I guess I cant do much more then just like with telltale I cant make them change their rule I can just hope they MIGHT change it. :D

  • I understand.

  • I'm just pointing its hard to accept the game okay length when your used I to longer gameplay.

    I would pay 10$ more for longer game play

    7.5 hours is pretty average considering the 25 dollar price tag. The games you mention were like 60 dollars at launch.

  • Don't give them ideas LMFAOOOOOO :D

  • Yes, but season one was the same price and was around 10 hours in length. Were their older games of similar price?

  • Sam and Max were about 30 bucks a season and tales of monkey island was 35 for some reason...

  • If its 90 minutes, why would I need to take a break? I dont see it as long as enough to warrant breaking for a whole night. I want to finish the whole episode so I can play it again later. The replays add to the playing time for me.

    Well, why don't you just play 90 minutes, then take a break until next day you wanna play?

  • I didnt say I couldnt play two hours. My game time typically runs about that. Im saying if its late and Im tired, 2 hours or so is just about right and I can see other people feeling the same way so I think thats what the game producers are thinking. Im just trying to give some new perspective in spite of the people who want to thumbs down anyone who tries to defend the game developers in any way.

    Yea but if you cant play the whole 2 hours why not stop the game until the next time you have a break and continue on that will actually hype me up to know that theres more to do.

  • I have been giving everyone a thumbs up even if you don't agree if you enjoy the game how it is then im happy for you.

  • they had no problems with creating episodes in season 1, these 90 minute episodes are simply a bi-product of them making to many games right now they simply have to focus on their current games and delay the newer ones, because GoT and borderlands are definitely hurting the quality of this season of walking dead and wolf among us
  • Thank you sir

    I have been giving everyone a thumbs up even if you don't agree if you enjoy the game how it is then im happy for you.

  • No problem I didn't create this post to separate everyone I did it to get all of Telltale Community together we all love these franchises and we all want the best out of them.

  • Well if the defense if the game costs less then other games on the market with longer gameplay then I for one would not be upset paying 10$ more for a guaranteed 2+ hours of game okay for each episode.

    For me once I get in to the episode it's already done. That's a drawback with episodic gaming. Once you get in to the episode it's over and there is no next chapter to start for months.

    Nothing captured my attention like season 1 of TWD from TTG but the magic has not translated over to season 2 of TWD for me. I just don't feel like in know any of the other characters. By this time in season 1 lee has bonded with many of the other characters. Not only that but the player as well has developed feelings for the other characters.

    There has been no getting to know any of the characters yet on season 2. I mean what do you know about Carlos? Alvin? Nothing 3 episodes done and you know nothing about therm. Where they have been, where they were going... Nothing.....

    Don't give them ideas LMFAOOOOOO :D

  • TTG should have never taken on so many other projects. It is watering down the current TWD game what is the one I care about. I could give a damn less about the future TTG games.

  • That's pretty f*cked up dude so if you don't care about TTG then you DONT care about TWD what other company has the mental capacity to do what Telltale has done with TWD not many or none at all.

  • You see there is a problem with This season compared to season 1 and the problem is its been 2 Years since the ZA nobody cares what you did back then all people care about at this point is surviving. So a better question would be what evil f*cked up shit have they done to survive for so long. That right there will most likely change your view on some of the Characters.

    Call it blasphemy, but after 3 episode
    Im more satisfied with twau than season 2
    I never thought that could happen lol
  • well as a consumer you are entitled to pick and choose what series you like and which ones you don't i'll admit all i care about right now is twd and twau and i couldn't give a rat's ass about the new upcoming games but i'm sure that will change when those come up since they are decreasing quality of the games right now for those ones, we will have to see i guess :/

  • Allegedly. The idea that multiple games is causing issues is pure speculation. Even if they were only working on one game we would still be getting shorter episodes.

  • At least three hours generally.

    How long were they?

  • Season 2 seems a lot more on-rails than season one. So much is just done through cut-scenes unnecessarily. Remember in S1, how you could actually move around and interact with non-essential things?
  • Overall I agree with this as well.

    However, TWAU suffers from many of the same complaints that TWD Season 2 does. Lack of hubs, 90 minute episodes, little/any interaction with environments and other characters.

    Telltale's new business strategy is really starting to fuck them over

  • The sales figures would need to support that suggestion which they probably don't

  • We can't, because telltale fuckin' hates us.

  • the episode need to be longer. because if they want to put more hubs and discussion in an episode, thee ill be barley any action. but if they want to put more action in an episode, there will be no hubs and discussion.


    but wit longer episode, they can do BOTH in one episode.

    No way! Most movie running times are longer than 90 minutes. Just picking some random movies from my blu ray collection before this post I see spiderman 2 is 136 mins, now you see me 125 mins, catching fire 140 mins, inception 148 mins. I don't get why you're defending telltale, their big boys. The point is season
    1 had longer episodes, cost the same price as season two's and season one's episodes came out quicker. Longer episodes and shorter waiting times vs shorter episodes and longer waiting times. I don't think people are wanting to much by asking for the same length episodes as season 1. I think it's the least telltale could do for their fans/customers given the lengthy waiting times between episodes. Personally I think they should have focused on one game at a time, finishing twd season 2 with a satisfying ending instead of a fucked up cliffhanger, then work on twau and then do game of thrones after that was completed instead of doing twd and twua at the same time whilst planning for game of thrones. That's like having a 3 way with 2 hot chicks neither get full attention.

  • TWAU was released first and announced before even season one. Going with the logic of halting production on all but one game should mean that Wolf Among Us takes priority not Walking Dead.

    I would like to say i did enjoy episode 3 despite some of its flaws (no 400 days character interaction among a few other things) but the 90 minuets time limit that Telltale seem to have set the writers was really noticeable in this episode.

    If they had a longer time limit the whole Carver showdown could have been so much better, instead we got a rushed scene where Clem jumped on or shot him, the other character punched him a few times and then Kenny shot him in the leg before finishing him off. I am really looking forward to the rest of the season but i am really worried that this 90 minuet time limit could hinder future episodes.

    Most of us on here would probably be classed as hardcore fans of the series so we would love a long 2+hour game with lots of hubs to get to know the characters but Telltale seem to think it's better to make the game shorter and to remove the hubs to make it more causal so that "people can finish in one session" and without missing dialogue.

    I really hope that they plan a really good final episode and that they are giving a longer time limit so that this season goes out with a bang rather than a fizzle so that people remember it for being a good season and not a crappy sequel, Clementine's story has so much potential which could be ruined because of the 90 minuet time limit.
  • I beat a video game in one day too. Never got off of my ass, beat it in 9 hours flat. :3

  • In all my life, I've never seen anything quite like this.

  • I agree with OP.
  • Yeah, bigger episodes. I agree with that ;)
  • 100th like!
