Superb game
I'm around 3 hours in (just started the parking garage level).
My thoughts so far on who the killer is :
Spoiler: | Suspects so far are the clown from the beginning, and the boyfriend of the bitch who tries to kill herself. |
no more spoilers.. the graphics are sublime, totally smacked my gob at the level of detail gone into the environments, the house, the emotions.. its just wow. Gameplay is fine, just basic stuff that I think works well. It reminds me of a classic serial killer novel, Se7en'esque dark environment and atmosphere.
Really loving this!

Also i felt genuine emotion for the characters that is something that happens very rarely in any game for me.... you almost feel their pain... even you know it's a game you still can't help it

Yeah i know what your saying, i've only just had time to play up to the detective at the crime scene.
Spoiler: | But the opening scene where he is losing his son with the red baloon really got me emotional, i have a one year old son and i was imagining the panic i would feel! |

I saw that too - the internet recommended not to download it because they experienced skipping and freezing with it (allegedly anyway). I've been playing fine without it so it's up to you, but since they didn't seem to list any bug fixes I'd say it's alright to skip for now and see what's what later on. |
Happened to me. First scene when Ethan kisses his wife sound goes mute. Other scene, video is stuck but audio still plays.
Any way to get rid of the update? O.o

BTW:
Don't miss your trophies because you cannot load in chapters and redo them.........
If you want trophy advice just ask. |
thanks twobells
still waiting for my copy without taxes I hope (sent from Guernesey to France)
for the missing trophies, you have to replay the game ? or load a save game.
Offtopic, but I'm almost done on Uncharted for the platinum trophy. Need to play it on extreme |
Replay the game, I tried to load a chapter and do my missed trophy but it just didn't like it.
What I did:
Missed 'birthday boy' trophy, so I finished a later chapter, loaded the prologue and completed it, all to no avail.
Perhaps there is another route, we'll have to wait and see.......

So I just played the butterfly and of course fucked up
Spoiler: | got hit too many times in the condenser room, he took the cowards way out. |
I said fuck that, back to main menu, chapters, the butterfly, yes save I don't give a damn, loading screen with ethan's face and then black screen.
Fucking shit.
I love this game so far but stuff like that is really unnecessary.
Is that a general problem with the game or is my disc fucked up?
edit:
google assured me that I'm not the only one with problems like that.
It's kinda sad that Quantic delivered such an awesome experience (I have not been emotionally involved like that in a game before ever) in a somewhat buggy state :/
I guess there's no playing for me until they release another patch.
edit edit:
apparently I can load most scenes fine (haven't tried all of them) but chapter 3 scene 4 "the butterfly" won't load up. Well needed a break anyway, time to go to sleep.

I'm at the part at the electricity station.....
Spoiler: | I have just failed the part where you have to make your way to the butterfly at the end of the elecric generators, he said that is it for me and took the cowards exit.
will this take him out of the game as i really wanted to complete the other two origami tasks? |

Quote: | But damn this game is beyond awesome. The story is pure gold and am I the only one seeing this as a movie? |
Well, so far it's not movie quality material in my opinion - it only gets away with it because it's a game - but I do agree it's beyond awesome. What I like most is just how unique it feels, as there's simply nothing else like it out there.
While it's nowhere near as bad as Fahrenheit, the story is a little manufactured though, and some of the scenes with Madison were unnecessary in their overt sexuality (her character in particular is really off the chart at times in terms of motivation!) - but thankfully there's always a great scene which follows and brings proceedings back onto an even keel - so it's easy to forgive and forget the games lesser moments (where you end up juggling chickens mid-chase for example ).
I was really impressed with the voice acting as well. I'd say at its best it's second to none. I'm not going to spoil any of the scenes but obviously there are some really intense emotional moments that require convincing voice acting, and in many games that can either fall flat or end up as a cringe inducing wall of noise... but here they really nail it... so it seems a shame that some others focus so much on the very occasional bad line, or foreign accent.

Why are you glad you waited? Unless you qualify it your comment is pretty redundant.
Quote: | I'm at the part at the electricity station..... |
Can't help as I managed that myself. It was really difficult, or it felt really difficult and intense anyway - but that's the magic of the game.

On reflection I think I hijacked your comment just to have a poke at the way the story is structured... because yeah I guess I would agree if it was re-written for the big screen it could be doable.

As for payment options, you can use credit card or PSN Prepaid cards that you can buy at some retailers or on ebay or key stores. There might be other options too, not sure.

I'm glad I waited as people seem to have problems with it and by the time its in the bargin bin they should be patched up, I dont understand what you mean when you say qualify?.
Yes I am a cheap skate, I dont pay £40 for a game, £25 is my limit.
