Telltale Take The Walking Dead Into Ep. 2 [UPDATE]

Telltale Take The Walking Dead Into Ep. 2 [UPDATE]

Microsoft don't take the achievements to Xbox.com - now fixed

Written by punkyliar on 27 June 12 at 16:27 , updated on 27 June 12 at 16:27

Edit: The achievements have now been added to Xbox.com. From this point on, all achievements will count towards your gamerscore and achievement count as normal.

Original Story:

In a shock announcement yesterday, Telltale Games revealed that the second episode of The Walking Dead would literally just make its June release window and would walk onto the marketplace today. The episode has done just that but, somewhere along the journey, the achievements failed to reach their intended destination. Although "The Walking Dead: Ep. 2 Starved For Help" adds eight more achievements worth a total of 100G, they have not been added to Xbox.com.

Those of you who unlock any achievements now will notice that they are not being added to your gamerscore or achievement total. I would advise holding off from playing the DLC until the achievements are added properly. Unfortunately, those of you who unlock the achievements beforehand will have to recover your gamertag and then earn the achievements again for them to be added to your gamerscore.

Episode two of a five-part series set in Robert Kirkman’s award-winning universe. Three months after the events of episode one, starvation forces the group to seek food from strangers. In a world where the living can be more dangerous than the undead, this is a risky move, but you’ll soon learn how far you’ll go to survive. How will the choices you made in episode one affect your story? Purchase of this DLC requires The Walking Dead - Episode 1: A New Day.


Those of you wanting a sneak peek at the DLC before deciding on a purchase may want to check out these screenshots.

"The Walking Dead: Ep. 2 Starved For Help" costs 400 MSP and can be downloaded from here.

With the last-minute announcement, I kinda thought something might go wonky with it. Hope it gets cleared up soon.

Funny, when Operation Raccoon City's achievements weren't added to xbox.com right away, there was mass-retard anger towards Capcom for a broken game.

Walking Dead does it and somehow everyone gets it's Microsoft's fault somewhere..

Oh the people we share air with.. laugh

I think that everyone wants to always blame Capcom because they consistently release broken and/or unfinished products

It's a difference in delivery as well. When the headline is :
"Resident Evil: ORC Gets More Spec Ops
Gets more achievement issues too"
it leads a reader to believe a game is broken, when the issue was the exact same as what's happening with Walking Dead. This article's headline doesn't do that.

After having my TimeShift achvs forever unattainable (still hoping MS's last big glitch fixed it, but haven't had time to test it), I always wait a day or two to make sure everything is up and running. Luckily my low bandwidth usually helps me out by taking forever to download the games anyhow!
Killer Punks...all that needs to be said.

I'm sorry, but having written both of the articles in question, you can't blame me for whatever people want to think. Nowhere in the Resident Evil article did I say that it was Capcom's fault, neither did I say that it was Microsoft's. I actually said this:

...the achievements are yet to be added to Xbox.com.Any person who had bothered to read that article would have realised that Xbox.com has nothing to do with Capcom, it is Microsoft's responsibility. Unfortunately, having written over 1000 articles for this site, I'm faced daily with people who literally read the title and the strapline without bothering to read the article itself and then form completely the wrong impression. I can't make people read the article.

What surprises me is that Microsoft haven't fixed it yet. It can't be that hard. I run a website visited by just about 20 - 30 thousand people a day... even with this number of visitors I need to be always around and IF something unexpected comes up, I need to deal with it right away. There must a a LOT MORE people on Xbox Live.... and if there is a problem, I would expect them to get to it ASAP and fix whatever needs fixing.

Why are they even allowed to release shit when the achievements don't work, Microsoft needs to get their act together.

My reasoning was bad Punky, i didn't mean to place the blame on the headline alone. My issue was with the readers and their lack of doing so.

A headline can steer people in a particular mindset before reading a single word of an article though and most people that gripe here are very obviously skim readers. It was a general reference, I'm not personally attacking your stories.
