If you are playing and enjoying the game on Steam, I congratulate you.

If you have been dicked over by Telltale's complete shit DRM, there is a thread for you now.

 

[SirVilhelm]

Can you invert the Y axis in this game? They never did fix that in the first episode.

I woulda saved nick if he was kenny

I don't give a shit about not-kenny

 

[shadyspace]

Can I take my season 1 save from my windows PC and copy it over to my Macbook Air and have Season 2 recognize it?

 

[iNvid02]

i forgot how much i liked the art style, game looked really good at times

 

[NMFried]

Okay so I played Season 1 on 360, but my Live ran out. I'm debating whether or not I should buy Season 2 on Steam or not. Also, should I just wait for it to all go on sale?

I accidently saved Nick because I didn't know well how they are looking like. lol.

 

[Jeels]

Is the Season Pass for PS3 owners up yet. I was excited to play this. Guess I can't. :/

 

[giancarlo123x]

Is the Playstation store down? I'm trying to buy it on PS3 and it keeps failing. Same for account management.

 

[dreamfall]

I think I'll end up playing it on the PS3. That's where my Season 1 files are, and I ordered a PC version of it by mistake on TellTale's site. For some reason I thought it was a Steam code, but I didn't realize it was not :/

Personally, I think it would ruin the experience to be given random choices when you start, whilst already knowing what you did choose last season.

Whether you choose to go with steam or not, just make sure you buy on a platform you'll know you can still access and play on for the next season....assuming there is one....who am i kidding, telltale will milk this cow dry and I'll love it /

taste the salt lick

 

[dragonbane]

Telltale once again offering some nice quality customer support I see. Weird that they can't get get their act together on this.

Haha we're all sheep. Well I was going to maybe download a save for Season 1 and then go into Season 2, but maybe I'll wait until it goes on sale on XBLA.

 

[VibratingDonkey]

Lost my Season One save due to my stupid shitty SSD evaporating.
Never put important files on an SSD, kids! Was a Corsair Force 3 90GB.

Says it'll randomly generate choices, which sucks. If I'm not playing my story then the whole thing feels kind of pointless. Why not let me choose again? Just a simple text survey would suffice, generate a save out of that and splice into the Season Two save.

Am I gonna have to wait for someone else to figure out how to hack this shit?

 

[Cudder]

Soo weird how the season pass isn't up yet. Usually its the opposite, companies put out the most expensive piece of game to get more money up front. CMON TELLTALE.

 

[Salsa]

k, about to start the game..

how do I know if its taking up my previous game saves/choices and all? nothing under "save files" but maybe that's the current game's?

 

[denshuu]

It'll tell you as soon as you start playing.

When you choose a save file the game will scan for season 1 saves, not before.

 

[petethepanda]

Ah, shit. I have a manual copy of my S1 save but I don't think I backed up post-500 Days. Gotta wait for the first game to download so I can get to the cloud saves I guess? I hope they're still intact, S1 saves were a fucking nightmare.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Is there a Hate Plus-esque 'you did this before...' series of choices if you don't have the Season 1 saves?

 

[Intheflorsh]

So, were any of the

Spoiler

400 Days guys in the episode for any of you? No one was there in my game.

 

[Salsa]

so uh...

its not picking up ep 5? :/

 

[Blue Ninja]

so uh...

its not picking up ep 5? :/

That... Sucks. Probably didn't save. :/

 

[Salsa]

for fuck's sake

what now

 

[-MD-]

Nvm I had to start the first episode for it to prompt me to load my Season 1 save.

 

[Blue Ninja]

for fuck's sake

what now

I dunno, it's weird that it's detecting 400 days but not episode 5.

 

[nai]

I hope season 2 will get cloud saves as well. Both season 1 and The Wolf Among Us have it.

 

[Salsa]

I did the prefs.prop thing and it gives me a save for full season 1.. but no 400 days

great.

fucking great

 

[petethepanda]

So not only does my S1 Steam Cloud save not have my 500 Days save, it also doesn't have my Episode 5 save, either! Great!

I at least have manual copies of my post-ep5 save so I guess I'll just have it generate 500 Days, whatever.

 

[Cudder]

so uh...

its not picking up ep 5? :/

Is it supposed to list every episode you completed? Or is it supposed to say Episode 5 + 400 Days?

 

[zeemumu]

Spoiler

I saved teenage Kenny because the other guy looked bitten, but knowing Telltale it might turn out to be a scratch from a rock or something. Also, was that guy in the episode 2 preview the guy from the prison bus in 400 days? Because on my save he's the only one who stays at the camp. Everyone else left. Aside from that, the only other two things that my save seems to have affected are Clementine saying that they're smarter than the zombies, her description of Lee, and the fact that she starts acting weird every time one of the characters mentions chopping off a hand.

 

[Salsa]

yeah apparently I have either a season 1 completed save or a "till episode 4 + 400 days" save

pretty incredible how something so fucking predictable happened again

get your shit together telltale, this neglects the entire philosophy around your game. Jesus what a joke.

I already played through 400 days.. now I have to play through it AGAIN (wanted to play ep 1 of season 2 before hitting the bed, only time I can) and its also no guarantee that it'll work since I ALREADY FUCKING DID IT but apparently the game doesnt now

you build an entire game around saving your progress; you fuck it up. Clap clap.

Episode 5 choices will be automatically chosen for you.

 

[petethepanda]

I bet if you go to their support forums they're still recommending that people just disable cloud saves outright and manually manage saves. I can't believe this shit hasn't been straightened out.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

At least you don't have to play the whole thing over again.

how does that help me

I dont want that shit

I played the game

 

[Tunic]

Downloaded the PSN version. Set to play Episode 1 tonight, can't wait!

 

[culafia]

After stewing on it a bit, here are some pros and cons:

Pros

Spoiler

-Clementine is a good protagonist despite my initial misgivings
-Pretty good new characters
-Many choices feel more natural than the Season 1 choices
-Set itself up to go to interesting places

Cons

Spoiler

-Way more artificial exposition from the main character (she says literally everything she's doing out loud as she does it regardless of whether someone is around or not, and it doesn't feel like basic loneliness)
-It follows many of the same beats as Season 1. Because we know how secretly linear these games are, this episode felt like it was funneling me through a linear plot more than me experiencing my story. That end-of-episode choice we had to make was also pitifully easy to predict from a mile away.
-Dialogue sometimes comes across as unnatural and comic book-y (it's obv based on the comic, but the dialogue feels less grounded in reality as it used to last season)

Spoiler

It has promise, but it definitely has issues too.

 

[VibratingDonkey]

My save file isn't even showing up yet my save is in my documents folder.

?

Those are your Season One saves. Correct folder might be under a a different user account or something.
Search "The Walking Dead Season Two".
If the folder doesn't exist then that might be a problem.

 

[A Sentient Keyboard]

I haven't read the thread in fear of spoilers, so sorry if this has been asked before:

To those who have finished it, how significant are the consequences of your season 1 choices? Does season 2 only occasionally reference stuff from season 1, or does it noticably change in any way?

If I played season 1 at release, but no longer have acces to my save, is it worth replaying it to get a new save?

EDIT: also, is it possible to just get someone else's savefile and use that?

Here's mine

Ah, okay. That's what mine should say. Is anyone having any save game transfer problems on PS3, or are these strictly PC issues people are reporting?

There's a page for everything!

 

[petethepanda]

Any idea yet of how much 400 Days plays into season 2? The best I can do from old manually backed up saves is full eps 1-5 but missing 400 Days, if it's probably not going to be a significant part I'll probably just have it generate decisions but I'd hate to find after spending hours in s2 that I should have just gone back and replayed.

 

[Deleted member 57681]

This whole saving issue really is embarrassing, I don't get how they just can't be arsed to take care of it.
So is there some place that has PS3 saves to download? At this point I'd rather take "as close as it gets" than some randomized BS or play Season 1 and 400 days yet again.

Playing 400 days won't determine whether Kenny is alive or Clem dies, so I could give a shit.

As far as I know after playing the first episode of S2...

Spoiler

there aren't any overlaps just yet.

 

[transience]

Any word on a release date for the Vita version? That seems like a great platform for it.

 

[jakomocha]

Must....wait....until....all episodes are out. Playing The Walking Dead Season 1 all together rather than each episode separately (I didn't get the game until all the episodes were done) felt much more satisfying and concise then how I am assuming waiting for each one felt. I've gotta stop looking up media on the game or else I'm gonna end up caving in and getting it. Please Telltale, finish all the episodes quickly. I really wanna play!
