Breedhate68 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Don't get me wrong, I would love the game if it didnt have so many freaking glitches and bugs, but how did Game Informer and xbox magazine worship this game and make it onto every staffs top 10 list. Did they play a version I didn't see. I hit so many glitches, and now that it reset my episode 3, 3 times now because of glitches on the train. I just can't play it a forth time again, which means ill never play epiode 4 and 5. Any ideas if these mags get paid to hype broken games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnout x360a Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I've not had any big glitches except the saves not showing up unless I reboot the game. They are well justified in giving the scores, the storytelling and characters are superbly done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoldyClay87 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Because the reviews are based on the story and gameplay. Not whether or not it is a buggy mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluWolve Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I never experienced one single gamebreaking glitch or bug, but I was probably just lucky. I will gladly pay more money when season 2 comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will gladly pay more money when season 2 comes out. This. Knock on wood. I just finished Episode 3, and I never had a single problem leading up to it or during it. Never reset or anything. I played through Episode 3 fine. So, for the first 3 chapters so far, I've had absolutely no problems on the disc version of this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gohan Reborn Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Didn't have a single glitch (retail disc). Some long loading times were the worst of it. Fantastic game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamski Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 1 glitch here on the train. Just had to redo one tiny bit. Other than that it was perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funnypinoy87 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Played through all episodes. XBLA version. No glitches throughout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barad Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Apart from the frequent freezing, I've not come across any bugs in Episode 1 so far, the characters/dialogue is solid..that's where the praise is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoldyClay87 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Dead Island would like to have a word with you. GOT ME. But actually, I meant the reviews on this game in particular. What games are reviewed on tend to be a game-by-game thing. Some games are good enough in every other area to make it easy to overlook the problems. That said, I've had no problems with this anyway, so I would assume neither did they. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gageamatron Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Not too sure actually. No idea why this is GOTY material. I agree the story was engaging and all but every episode had some sort of glitch happen that really took me out of the game. All the choices boil down to one ending, and the way they handled the choices getting tallied up and being sent to the server made my game extremely laggy on top of all the glitches. Decent gameplay, but overall in my opinion this game is HIGHLY overrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
couch slouch 2 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I just played this game straight through. Picked it up yesterday afternoon from the sale and finished it about 7 am. Aside from some stuttering sound and slow loading toward the end I had no glitch/bug issues. Other than a rather crappy controller layout for the shooting scenes I think this is an excellent game and would highly recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutchy27 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Only problem I had is at the end of episode 3 when I went to continue to episode 4, I got reset to episode 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skilled Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Never had a problem with any glitches (PC) except for the fact that I lost my save.. Not going to spend hours and hours just to get back to chapter 4. I'll guess I'll just watch it. Shame really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HugTheBear Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I encountered lag at times in Episode 2 and 3. Other than those small issues, everything else in this game was beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kynreeve Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 The only glitch I had was in episode 1 with the argument between Kenny and Larry, I sided with Kenny, the end stats say I sided with Larry and for the rest of the game they both said I didn't agree with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent gameplay, but overall in my opinion this game is HIGHLY overrated. It's not really about the ending. It's about how you get there and the emotional drives and how it affects everything leading into the end. That said, not everybody had these glitches. I certainly haven't yet (entering Ep.5).

It's story telling devices, choices and atmosphere make this one of the best games I have ever played. And I have over 2000 video games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkReign2021 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I only experienced a single glitch during my two playthroughs of the game. When Episode 5 launched and I downloaded it, I found my game saves were completely missing. I ended up resetting my 360, though, and they were both there the next time around.

InsaneKane87 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 People like OP make me wonder if people like that know what a glitch in a game really is, or they are just complaining and calling things glitches because something looks odd to them or they don't like the controls. I only played episode 1 (Free version) so far and the only thing I noticed was that when it would change from a cutscene it would pause for maybe half a second. Nothing gamebreaking or terrible about that to ruin a game. Besides that one little thing that didn't even affect the wonderful experience I had with an emotional episode (just like the show) was truly fantastic.

Burnout x360a Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I just finished the last two chapters of Ep 5 last night and man it is definitely the best 2000 Microsoft Points I've ever spent, hands down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt Scyther Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 The only glitch I ever had was one in Episode 3 when I left the train cart and Lee went through the ground and the camera got all crazy. But I just had to reload the game and it worked fine after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
