I'm glad you were able to enjoy it, but I'm surprised you didn't end up loving it. I still have to get Frozen Wilds. I'm still making my way through South Park: Fractured But Whole.Quote:

I'm pretty stoked that I heard Final Fantasy 12: The Zodiac Age is coming to Xbox 1 in 2019. Can't wait to play that.
D00d, wtf!? I had no idea this was going on! That means I'll never get a Borderlands Season 2 :(Quote:

On paper the game should have blown me away, but I always felt it was missing... something.Quote:

Final Fantasy X is amazing. Titus gets wayyyy too much hate. Yeah he's whiny and everything, but FFX story is in the top echelon of FF stories.Quote:

I’m totally on board with using it to tighten up your supply chain logistics, but using it as a gatekeeper to exclusive in-game features as well as using preorder revenue as glorified working capital on your unfinished game is not helping anyone.Quote:

Thankee
Some more details (Episode 2 was on sale for like a day):
https://kotaku.com/telltale-s-the-wa...een-1829329062
The last two episodes were scheduled for November 6 and December 18, and achievements for both are available so that means the story is all complete. With only a month to go before the originally scheduled release date for Episode 3, I would imagine it's in a state close to completion. The fourth episode, the series finale, is maybe halfway done or so. Just guessing here. I'm also guessing if Telltale do manage to find a way to release these final two episodes, they'll release both at the same time.Quote:
A spokesperson for Telltale provided the following statement to Kotaku on why the game was removed from stores and its future plans regarding episodes 3 and 4:
“Yes, we have removed season passes for The Walking Dead: The Final Season from stores for the time being. We’re currently still working to find a way to hand off production of episodes 3 and 4 so that the season can be completed. The outcome of those efforts will determine when and how The Final Season returns to stores. We hope to have a firm announcement before the end of the week. For now, we apologize for any inconvenience.”
Fingers crossed.
My main issue is Season 3 is only on this gen so I can't play it yet.
I'm sure if you look far enough back in this thread you'll see me bitching about how pre-orders are and will ruin this industry. I've been against them since 2011...maybe before. Where else do we pre-order things before they're even made? It's insanity. Why is it acceptable with video games? We don't give Disney money when they announce the date for a movie 4 years down the line. We don't pay for our burger before the cow is slaughtered. We don't pay for a book before it's written. I can see doing a pre-sale in the last few weeks before release (which is how it started, if I remember correctly) to ensure you get a copy. Fine. But now you can pre-order games years in advance. They've built a system where pre-ordering grants incentives, but this also stifles quality control. Before they could simply delay a game 6 months to make sure it's perfect. Now, if you've got 3 million pre-orders, you kind of have to ship out the game on time, and then customers get a broken mess that takes 5 months of patches to make function the way it should've out of the box. I purposely only buy used games a year+ after they've been released so I know they're patched and play how they should.Quote:

At least I'm saving money that way, and not getting some stupid figurine or in game outfit or some stupid crap like that.
I'm assuming you don't collect from small publishers. I received an email from CD today stating they hope a book that should have been done 3 years ago might be done by next year.Quote:

It used to be that a game was released and it was complete. There may be patches released down the road or expansion packs, and you'd get a Gold or GOTY edition that collected it all, but the core content was complete and not hobbled.
It’s like you guys are whispering sweet nothings in my ear...so agree with you guys. Mattrick, always thrilled to find another pre-order truther.
And Mae I get annoyed with the DLC too..some obv do it better than others but still. GOTY model only works for 1P games now bc online games have such a short shelf life if you ain’t gta. So we can’t wait for the price to drop or the game to be “done” bc the servers will be wastelands by then
And I have no quotes or proof, but I think this is all pretty much stemming from these cos being reluctant to charge more than $60 for a game bc they think customers will refuse bc of how picky and bitchy they (we) are
At this point I’m more than happy to pay more than 60 one time to get the whole enchilada. Maddening
Also I dig TT don’t get me wrong. Apparently both batmans performed terribly but I enjoyed both. And WD season 1 was outstanding...I think TT prob fell more victim to the LEGO syndrome of only selling products with massive licensing fees...which burned their cash on hand...which made time as valuable as capital...which made preorder a life preserver instead of logistical indicatorQuote:

Dudes, Nioh is fucking dope. Just think Onimusha setting with Dark Souls gameplay.
I lost about an 1hr worth of progress this morning after some samurai shit head knocked me off a cliff and I lost all my XP.
I almost raged quit, but I'm a sadist so I'll go back to it later today.

Following last month’s report about Telltale Games attempting to find potential partners to finish their fan-favorite video game The Walking Dead: The Final Season, it appears they’ve found a partner! Skybound Games took to Twitter to officially announce that they have stepped forward and made a deal with Telltale to continue developing the hit game series’ final episodes. The developer promised that more details about the deal will arrived soon.
“We’re SO happy to announce that we’ve reached a deal with @telltalegames that will allow Skybound to continue : The Final Season! Let’s wrap up Clem’s story right! More details to come soon.”
At New York Comic Con, The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman, who is the founder of Skybound Entertainment, also confirmed the announcement. Meanwhile, Variety reports that Skybound is hoping to work with Telltales’ original development team to finish the games’ story.
“We’ve successfully negotiated with Telltale Games for our company Skybound to come in and see Season 4 of the Telltale game to completion,” Kirkman said at New York Comic-Con. “We can’t lose Andrew Lincoln and Clementine in the same year.”
Earlier this year the company launched Skybound Games, the game division of Skybound Entertainment which was founded in 2010 in order to be able to create new content for traditional and new media including television, film, video and digital media.
Telltale Games was a Bay Area-based video game company specializing in narrative adventures. The studio hit prominence with The Walking Dead Season 1 in 2012. The studio has since worked on video games based on Batman, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Minecraft.
I changed my mind. Screw Nioh, I hate it. It's too fucking difficult.

My only real gripe about their games is that your words carried less consequences as more and more games were released. In their first few games if someone 'Remembered That' it could have story related implications down the road. Now whenever that pops up it's just to receive 1 of 3 different facial expressions.
