DON'T play the disc version!

So I rented this out of the Redbox so I could start on this game again and the handful of bugs I run into are pretty annoying.

- Hitches in load times

- Voices aren't in sync sometimes

- Transitions between scenes take forever.

Were these ever in the later episodes of the digital version?

PS3 digital version was fine too with only a few minor glitches in episode 3. It sounds like the Xbox version is kind of a mess.

Buyers of the disc version can get a code from Telltale Support for the download version, that one has less issues.

Yeah I saw this in episodes 2 and 3 on the PS3, I think it's just part of the game for some people.

You mean it still has the same problems? Only worse?

All versions of TWD are shit. No surprise they kept that up with the disc version.

PS3 digital version played fine. Recently tried the 360 disc version, WoW!!, completely broken, on the cusp of being unplayable.

Is there an install option?

I was honestly surprised when I heard the guys discussing technical problems on the Bombcast. I played the Steam version on a $600 laptop and had no problems at all. Same goes for X-COM.

Obviously, the "well it worked for me!" defense has no validity at all, but I didn't expect to hear about all those issues, that's all.

Every version is broken, you are lucky if you played through the thing without hitting any bugs
