Wow, that's just a fucking theory? That feels like I read a full on spoiler. Very well done, I thought I noticed him a couple of times but I missed a few.

Also fairly certain there's a bug where it says the gun hasn't been shot for a week when it clearly has been.

It actually is.
If you don't say anything, she will shoot or leave you based on your previous actions.

When you say he was "already dead" you mean that he was dying, right?

Opted against after watching a playthrough. I can get those graphics and weirder gameplay in Adanaxis.

Ended up getting Trine and Trine 2 for a song. Fun little concept.

Interesting. The
silent
options give a pretty different experience it seems, which is pretty unusual really.
I'll explain it to you. You have to get someone else to understand it for you.

Yeah, Bigby DEFINITELY makes a comment that
the gun hasn't been fired in a long time
but according to Dee
he watched Lawrence kill himself with it..

Clem was the best part, so I'm still kinda hyped for S2.
This is a valid criticism of the game. Keep in mind, however, that this was Telltale's first time allowing branching pathways in a story.

Also, for the record, I

didn't tell Beast about Beauty

hurt Toad

I did all of these, except I grabbed the Woodsman. I figured Dee was too far to catch up to him, and I wanted some information more than none.

I think yes, but I also think that it's not entirely relevant. The story's about Liz, and hopefully the next half is the Fall. I'm intrigued at how she'd interact with Downfall Rapture

I was wondering if maybe he is going to be a big daddy, but, who knows, with alternate dimensions, there will probably be another booker...

It's two hours worth of content at best. It's not worth 5 dollars. Just watch it on Youtube.

So NFS: Rivals... boy I like the series but this game feels like it was shipped a few months before it was ready to be. There are so many glitches that make a couple particular events next to impossible without having to plan out exactly how to approach the situation so the glitch does the least possible damage. That's just non-game crashing ones too. Get a far more critical problem that forces a restart once every four hours or so of play.

Its annoying since some of the ideas they had were pretty inventive and with some polish could have made it a very solid game.

If a Comstock exists, then a Booker should exist who was on the other side of the portal.

Also, if this is Elizabeth jihading against Comstocks, then that means there's potentially at least one Booker who is able to freely exist

Yes. It's a great game in general and just about the only one in it's genre.

Keep in mind that it's somewhat hard to get the hang of it.

I am no stranger to TBS games... I don't know if I shloud buy it now or just wait. I know it is a great game, but I think I could get it for less.
