game is a stuttering unplayable mess
Just bought the disc version for xbox 360 and its an unplayable mess. Im pissed you ppl even had the stones to charge money for this. Feel cheated out of $30. It basically amounts to hoping i hit the right button while the stuttering catches up. This is crap and will be the last time i buy one of your games unless this is fixed fast.

What type of storage devices are they (HDD, flash drive, MMU)?
How much free space do you have on each storage device (go to your system settings, then storage)?
Have you installed the Title Update through Xbox Live?
There was quite a lot of stuttering of the normal gameplay (such as in the police car as conversations began) and later as scenes changed to be from Walking Around and interacting to Zombie Action (move cursor over zombie head then press "A") there was way too much stuttering to even be enjoyable, none the less, playable.
After replaying and replaying the scene of the woman attacking in the kitchen, we just moved the cursor around where we thought it should be and spammed the A button.
We finally got through that and made it to the farm. Inside the barn talking to Hershel we hear the calamity coming from the fence. The game froze for about 30 seconds as we went outside of the barn with music clips repeating and then as we approached the fence the same thing happened. We were frozen looking at Lee's exasperated expression as music/sound repeated and after about 30 seconds we were finally given a choice to save either boys, but then the ability to choose was over too fast and it decided for us.
My friend was being nice and playing through but I'd really like to get her a playable copy of the game. I saw on another forum that redownloading the game on XBox Live worked for those who had these issues via the downloadable game, but I can't do that here.
I'll try to borrow it and try it on my Xbox, but they were running on an Xbox 360 slim, as I too will be testing it on.
I do think their Xbox was a 4GB model though (I have a 250), and although I tried to install the game to their harddrive using their Xbox Dashboard, I did not seem to be able to.
I have 2 storage devices, The hardrive and the cloud. I also have a flash drive. The harddrive has about 526 megabites free. The cloud has 510 mb free and the flashdrive about 2 gb. I installed the title update when I first got the game but it is still laggy and literally unplayable. Continues to jump and freeze and action sequences are impossible to complete. I have not had any trouble with any other game since updating anything either. Hope this helps.
I find it hard to believe that such a product of such a franchise made it out the door in this state. I want to believe that there is a solution. Do I need a better XBox? If so, what do I need? I have been purchasing and playing video games for decades, since the Atari 2600 days. I own an NES, SNES, N64, Playstation, WII, Dreamcast, and several computers, each with a large library of games; and, never, I mean never, have I seen this type of debacle. So, I have to believe that the problem is on my end. That is, my XBox 360 is not up to the task. However, from what I read on the back of the box (requires up to 256 MB for system updates), my system should be ok. I though it might be related to my slow broadband connection. So, I disabled my XBox from the network, ran the game with no internet, and experienced the same problems.
Therefore, we (the paying customer) need answers or solutions. While I don't want to purchase another XBox to solve the problem, I will. But, someone at TellTale Games needs to answer this plee for an explanation and instructions for the solution. And, if the game is just really this bad and nothing will solve it, just say so.
Please.
Explain to them the problems in detail (primarily that's it the game itself, not just the copy you have), and I'm sure you can get store credit for it.
That's not as good as a refund but better that than being stuck with a game that doesn't work.
My friend went out and bought the $130 320GB harddrive for her Xbox.
She claims the game is now playing much better, but I will go over and see if it truly is how I expect the game [of the year] to play.
How does a company put out a game that has issues like this? There is NO way you can convince me that this problem went undetected. I am waiting to find out what is going to be done about this.
I too have the slim 4gb xbox. Which was the reason I bought the physical copy due to the limited hd space I have.
A fix or refund would be greatly appreciated. I was looking forward to this game too.
Bought the disc version for a recent group event only to discover it is unplayable in its current condition (we were very sad, yup).
I also have the 4GB Slim model and am a Gold Xbox Live subscriber.
Thanks!
