Constructive criticism is allowed of course, but please try to be more respectful in your disagreements with other users. Also, please do not derail this thread with off-topic reaction gifs. Thanks!
Indeed, I praised it and I think they've done a better job than Telltale's recent efforts. But I assume you are referring to this topic of mine, where I explicitly mention in the second-last para that the "facial expressions are poor, and lip-syncing is lacking". http://steamcommunity.com/app/319630/discussions/0/611696927931973680/
I mean, can we please stop this confrontational attitude? I never behold myself to any developer, and will criticize any developer or game that I feel deserves criticism in a positive manner. I do think Telltale are great developers, but what's so wrong if I (and others who are fans of their games) demand for more?
funny cause how you act on steam tells me otherwise and no don't start with they deserve the criticism because the stuff you really complain about is just plain ridiculous

BTW, the whole meaning of this criticism is to avoid TTG to fall in the same Expectations Vs Reality credibility problem that Peter Moulynex is recently having, and that's ruining him.
If you don't promise, people won't ask. I think TTG is playing with the whole credibility of the newborn episodic model saying 4-6 weeks and not delivering it - or even have the kindness of an official comment for their own customers (expecially the new ones) who already paid for it and were left in the dark.
And I say this because I like their games and the episodic model, and not for jumping on "the hate bandwagon".

See this recent interview with him: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2015/02/13/peter-molyneux-interview-godus-reputation-kickstarter/, Dave Grossman himself said that he had to stop reading it, it was too unconfortable to read.

I loved some of the voice acting, but there were quite a few characters where I cringed slightly. The main cast had good actors, just some others.. well.
I thought the voice work was good, but yeah bad lip syncing and terrible facial expressions. Telltale games don't have perfect lip sync either, but their facial expression is good.
I've never actually seen what it says if you haven't downloaded the episode when it's already out. Can you download the episode in-game? I've always let Steam do it.

My friends does the same thing, but I do like reading discussions and theories and analysis of each episode. Something that you wont get if you buy the final version
Those who did wait will and I personally will be waiting for the full season release in future. It'll be cheaper, I can play them when I want and won't have to have an absurd amount of time for Telltale to release a 2 hour episode every 3 months.
I agree, telltale stop making up lies you said 4 to 6 weeks I understand your busy but make an apologize or something don't just make us wait say something about why your taking long please hurry up with this and remove the time frame
Some people have said that if TTG made their games like Dontnod is doing with Life Is Strange (working on all the episodes at the same time), they (TTG) would loose money. Why? Unlike with Life Is Strange, you already bought all the episodes, on the PC, so it is different from what is happening with LIS, since you can buy the episodes seperately.

but I just feel that the least TTG can do is to remove this line from their FAQ cause this is not their first game..it's their fifth and they've still not improved their delivery.
...So, does every game Telltale made prior to The Walking Dead: Season 1 not matter?

yeah... You must be ttg spokesperson or whatever with faulty logic. SO? They used the "4-6 week notice" on this game too and that's a FACT, whether they used that notice b4 when they made simpler games or not isn't a issue here. Issue here is they posted notice, plan, whatever you want to call it, and they didn't keep it. I UNDERSTAND it can be delayed, it's episodic game, so that's why I think they should either delete the notice or at least try to keep it.
this is my main issue with them + lack of updates. '' its not an open MASSIVE world like (wicther3 delayed 5 months) '' that we can forgive the months of delay! its average graphics and a point and click with no combat whatsoever and maxim of 2.30 or less hrs of gameplay . i cant forgive the delays and lack of updates. its not a massive open RPG world, i cant understand the delays, and i can understand if they just update us! that would solve alot of frustrations.
Back To The Future had more adventure than any 'modern adventure games' and only came out in 2011.
I understand what you're trying to say, but you're blocking out everything else which makes your argument look weak as it does not acknowledge everything. It's like an ancient history textbook skipping Greece and then doing Rome.
No, point is that TWD S1 heralded a new era. I'm not blocking out anything, but most people will agree that TWD S1 was a new beginning for Telltale. Heck, they admitted it themselves.
I've played BTTF on my iPad and it has very little similarities to their newer games.

I hope you take note of this thread and the number of people that seem to agree with what I'm saying here.
It's good that you responded to the community in that other thread, but in no way do I feel that Telltale is interested in honoring the stated time frame in the official FAQ. Now that you seem to be back on the forums, please at least re-word them? It just smacks of dereliction of one's duty towards its customer base. Mind you, we would not need to be treated in a fairer manner if we were buying this on a per-episode basis. But the fact is, many of us are getting your games in full (and on PC, we are FORCED to) and for you to abandon your duty to us is not nice.
Telltale has a lot of goodwill. That I can sense. But all great gaming companies once had the goodwill of the masses too, and eventually said goodwill will run its course. If Telltale doesn't buck up and holds itself more accountable to people whose money they have collected in advance, then sadly in the not too distant future there will be no more goodwill accorded to Telltale, and that would be a mighty shame.
So again sir, I hope you reword that part of your FAQ if you have no interest at all in following what's written there, or get the company in order and start following what's stated better and in a more timely manner.

That's OK. As I said, criticism is fine - just try to keep it to one thread and not several.
Seconded. Let me just tell you that the worst person is NOT who does not put out;
it's who promised to put out and dont.
The FAQ is not a "promise".
Checked my tales from the borderlands still marked as coming soon
That's because it is.
Episode 2 will be marked as 'Coming Soon' right until it's downloaded.
Pretty sure it will say "Available".
I loved some of the voice acting, but there were quite a few characters where I cringed slightly. The main cast had good actors, just some others.. well.
I have it on my console. :P
I've never actually seen what it says if you haven't downloaded the episode when it's already out. Can you download the episode in-game? I've always let Steam do it.
Ahh, well, then I wouldn't know how it works with them. :P
My friends does the same thing, but I do like reading discussions and theories and analysis of each episode. Something that you wont get if you buy the final version
I updated the OP with some hard data for those who want to look at a glance how much of a time passes between each episode release.

They should change it—Yes.
It mostly likely misleads new customers.

Unlike with Life Is Strange, you already bought all the episodes, on the PC, so it is different from what is happening with LIS, since you can buy the episodes seperately.
well even if it's not a "promise" per se, and it's just a "plan", they should at least try to keep it. Or why bother post them at all?
You can buy episodes separately with TTG games...
Not on PC you can't.
You learn something new every day.
Because they used that when they made simpler games.
...So, does every game Telltale made prior to The Walking Dead: Season 1 not matter?
Dude, you know what I mean. TWD S1 was a whole new start for them. I speak relative to that.
They still had the episode system prior to The Walking Dead. If that's what you're trying to say.
No. I don't refer to that. I refer to the genre of "modern adventure games". TWD S1 was the first such game of theirs.
yeah... You must be ttg spokesperson or whatever with faulty logic. SO?

Heres an idea, drop minefail and have the people wasted on that project help out on games that dont suck.

Thank you!
A new episode will be available somewhere between 4 - 6 months... xD
But then it'll be like...
I think you can.
They need to remove it because by the time the episode actually gets released I'll have children and grandchildren.
