Shocking how broken the save system is on the 360
As a long-time TellTale Games fan (I've been here since the beginning), I'm absolutely STUNNED how bad the save system is on the 360. I've never had any issues with other TT games and TWD was the first of their titles I've ever gotten on a console, everything else was PC.
Seriously, for a game that is absolutely dependent on your save game information making it from one episode to the next, it is absolutely UNACCEPTABLE that it is this broken on the 360. In order for me to make it through the entire story, I would literally have to play all 5 episodes in a single sitting because they save system is completely and utterly broken.
I had the issue that everyone else has where I went to load up my save file from Episode 3 and instead of loading up, it goes all the way back to episode 1. Then when I quit and try to reload it, it says I'm back at episode 1. I had to save on a empty slot, then start episode 3 all over, which also meant all of the choices I made in 1 and 2 were gone and replaced with whatever stock choices the game has if you don't start from 1. So I go and finish Episode 3, quit the game yesterday and open up the save file for episode 4 today..... And take a wild guess what happens when I tried to start it up. Yep, gone again. Once again I'm going to have to use another empty save slot to start the game from 4 and likely most of my choices I made from my restart of 3 will probably be gone.
I'd ask for a refund, but I'm sure that's not a possibility. I'd love a fix, but from what I've heard, it doesn't sound like one is being worked on since the "amount of affected users is small". Well, I may be just one person, but I'm pissed that such a great game has such a MAJOR game breaking bug.
As a long-time TellTale fan, this is beyond disappointing.

Not only that but IF Telltale does fix it which I doubt considering I see people have been complaining on here since the dlc version, you have to have Xbox Live or you're screwed.
I'm not going to play this game again until the patch is out for this game breaking bug.
Now I know there are issues with the PC version as well but at least they do seem to occur less often.
They finally sent the codes only to now have the save problem and still cant play.
