You know a couple of pages back I was calling out guys who had an issue with people posting speculation in this thread since they wanted to go into the game blind. I called them out because it felt stupid to limit even speculations in here.


But you guys straight up posted end game story spoilers here when there is a spoiler thread for this very purpose.
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1181321

I mean, it was tagged as spoiler and declarated as such, so i really don't see the issue.
Buit whateva, moved it there.

The issue was this, there's a spoiler thread for the game already and there's a search function on NeoGaf so there really isn't an excuse as to why it was posted in the thread. Luckily I and others didn't catch wind up until it was removed.

Thanks for removing it though.

Just played through the PS4 version in one sitting. Really enjoyed everything about it. Framerate was not consistent, but that didn't ruin my experience. Wondering how much the game would have changed based on the decisions that were made.

Overall, it was a fantastic experience.
 
Just started the game.
My girlfriend is a biology professor in her late twenties?

Ok story is already not believable :p


edit: people already finished it in one sitting? Mh I'll take my time with it but I hoped the game would be a bit longer.

So I just beat it. It plays great and it looks great all maxed out, but I don't know about the story...
I was expecting the twist to be something more creepy/supernatural/ufos/ anything other than the ordinary
I did love the banter between the two.

I really enjoy the dialogue and atmosphere, and will continue tomorrow now that the game crashed on me, when I switched from
fishing rod
to the map.
 
Just played the first 2 days on PC.

REALLY loving it so far. Amazing writing and VA.

Not having any performance issues, It always around 60-70fps.

Praise be Campo Santo and Olly Moss. Great Job :)
 
I also just finished took a little over three hours (I didn't do that much exploring, just the story). Overall, it was a great experience and definitely worth the money.

The first one came as a surprise, and made me immediately think about starting all over. I prefer to have time to weigh the options.

oh i thought you were talking about how every choice has a timer that takes lie 15 seconds to count down

Played through it in one sitting on PS4. Performance issues aside it was a fantastic and unique experience riddled with little details that change depending on what you did. Loved it!
 
Someone please outright tell me how to get to the campfire smoke on day 2. I've been walking around for an hour trying to find a way into that circled area and I want to rip my hair out because I know I am missing something obvious.

Edit: And of course I find it right after posting this. hah.

I don't normally go for these kind of games but I've just played it for a few minutes and I'm totally hooked. Can't wait to see what comes next.

Glad to see it's living up to people's expectations. Not sure whether to do this or start my second run of XCOM 2 tonight, I am spoiled for games.

I am spoiled for games.

I am too at the moment... XCOM 2, The Witness, Firewatch, The Deadly Tower of Monsters and a growing backlog including MGS V and The Witcher 3.

I am doing it on purpose though, to keep me distracted while I wait for The Division.

Finally got into the game and started it, one thing that jumped out at me first were the shadow range.

I have everything set to max and literally it's like just a few feet away the shadow detail changes and it's really noticable, is this bugged or what?

Just finished the game. Thought it was really great.
I follow some opinions about the game taking a turn that I didn't expect and it made me feel confused about some of the plot lines and some questions unanswered that don't make a lot of sense to me. had some other issues like what happens throughout the middle of the game when
it starts skipping days
, it made me feel like I lost a little bit of the rythm, definitely wanted to have more participation there.

Also as most of the people with the same critique, it didn't make me had a bad experience, I love playing through the entire game, the dialogues are amazing, the conversations are of the quality (even better) of Soma that I loved. The story was super interesting to me, while the 2nd act of the game felt a bit rushed to me, it was when the game seriously escalated in tension as the days went by.
Not everything on the story went as I expected, specially a part of the plot that becomes key in the end, but it was overall a great experience, I actually liked the very ending when
you and Delilah can't simply get together, I thought this was more realistic according to their own personal stories.
It made sense to me.

This sounds like the way I play... Good to hear.



Just curious, what made you buy it if it isn't your type of game?

I haven't (yet), friend is staying over and he brought his laptop. We hooked it up to the tv and then argued about how we're going to respond on radio. Beers may or may not have contributed to that.

Good times.

edit: I think the demo would really help this game, even if it was limited to the first few days of ingame time. It would have certainly convinced me.

No idea if anyone found this before, but I just found this:

That's the
hunter's mark from Bloodborne

Neat little easter egg.
 
Just hit a game breaking bug after 1 half hours of play.
When you get to the teens camp for the second time, and get the quest to Report the teens note, I am not given the option in the radio to do so.

I'm on Day 2 and this game is... unsettling.

edit: it's not even necessarily scary, but it just gives me this odd sense of foreboding.

Holy SHIT, I just started this game and the choices you have to make during the intro are just... wow. Definitely softened my hard heart a little, for sure.
