Yup, it's downloading now along with #IDARB.
Also bought the season pass, I just hope I don't end up regretting buying the S.P. I've had nothing but bad luck with them.

I saw your review pop up in my subscriptions, but avoided it for fear of spoilers.
Will check it out after I've finished the first episode, but very happy to hear you enjoyed it. As we seem to generally share the same tastes, I'd say that pretty much guarantees I'll have a blast too...
OT, but I thoroughly enjoyed your H1Z1 quicklook.
You can't just say that and then not post the review

I don't know why, but 60fps videos on youtube still catch me off guard

I watched 30 seconds and quickly turned it off. I want to go in as fresh as possible...

Thanks ya man. I kept spoilers out but its best to stay away of course. I have to say I think you will agree. Post back when you are done!
I bought this knowing nothing about this game other than the few screenshots I had seen :lol Never saw a trailer or anything. Didn't even know about the games major mechanic.
Those asking about the next episode.
New episodes should be out every 6 weeks i think. Gametrailers did episode abut first part and they told that devs said that they are still on track to release new episode every 6 weeks.

Is their development different from most episodic games? I feel like they already finished work on all of the game and are just releasing it in a set period because they want to. Considering the scenes shown of the next episode and there being preview images of the other 3 episodes.
Cause no other episodic game is as fast between episodes, right?

Capcom is releasing Revelations 2 one episode per week and then releasing a disc at the end of it. The only reason I can see episodic making sense this way is if they want people to keep talking about the game over the course of a few months.

Yeah. Which is an interesting take.

I read an article saying that they are working on all 5 episodes at the same time but episodes 3-5 have blank spaces for community feedback while episode 2 is more finalized.

For these kinds of games I think it kind of makes sense. Instead of just a ton of discussion on release that peters out after a week or two you get four or five bursts of discussion that help spread awareness about the game, plus you put off spoilers from the end of the game for a while. As long as you have reliable release dates I actually prefer episodic content because its easier to fit into my schedule.

yeah i know all that is bullshit, but for some reason people dont stop relating that with the game
good to know, so i have quite time to finish the first episode.Those asking about the next episode.
I really dont know. Maybe game is playable and story is done but they are just tweaking and polishing episodes between releases.
I think so. I doubt it would be in and not building up to something.

Goddamn what the hell did I miss?! Yeah, now have to do another playthrough to find this out and the other photos.
turns into Giant plant monster and eats someone. The plant remembers.
I did not like Remember Me at all but this could be quite something. I'm glad Dontnod got another chance and seem to be playing to their strengths this time around. Legit blown away by the art and I haven't even left the classroom yet, just been looking around and reading the notebook.
The first episode is out now.
Not in NA.
Yes.
Try typing Strange in the search bar and it should be there.
Well it's on the Canadian store so...

So is there some proper way to replay the episode without rewriting the save? I'm guessing not. Maybe i'll start another save to get the rest of the photos.
After you beat the episode you unlock collection mode that tells you what sections each hidden photo is in and it won't overwrite the save.
Nope.

Nice, thanks, hadn't noticed that.
Also,
hid the truth, comforted Victoria, intervened, and came out of hiding. Missed the pregnancy test...

Siren: Blood Curse came out episodically, except all the episodes came out at once. I'm guessing Sony were just experimenting with the format at the time, since they were experimenting with big PSN exclusives around that time as well (Wipeout HD and SOCOM Confrontation).
Anyway, I finished Episode 1 a few hours ago and really enjoyed it. Seemed right up there with Telltale's efforts but with better gameplay, better choices and, you know, not running like absolute fucking shit. I'm looking forward to episode 2 now.

How's the performance on PC? What frames are you averaging?
I enjoyed this. If I have one specific complaint it's that most decisions are binary, which sticks out a bit like a sore thumb in the few puzzles available. All except one just makes you rewind time and press A to complete (although complete probably isn't the right word since both outcomes presumably affects you moving on). I'd hope for some more complex interactions in the later episodes to mix things up.
Even so it was a nice episode. I haven't played the Telltale games and can't compare, but the premise which is set up is intriguing enough. There are some nice threads open for the story to build on and I'm curious to see if the made choices can have an effect on Max's development. I missed a lot of photo opportunities, but liked that they were in there. I also really liked that there were a lot of events with Max just reflecting on the day or her past with Chloe.
I'll definitely get the next episode.
Edit: One other thing that bothered me is that the characters in this episode are very one-note. Two hours isn't a lot of time to develop characters in a game so I'm fine with them taking some time to develop, I just hope that it isn't a David Cage disappointment coming up.

Will do. My internet crapped out, so the download is taking longer than expected, so it looks like I won't be able to play until tomorrow.
Ah well...
This is the best way to play such story driven games. I feel we're sometimes too exposed to games before release nowadays.

I have a very bad pc and i'm running it very well at mid settings. I wouldn't expect any trouble for a capable computer.
