Ok, you went to see a review. Then I guess my comment did help.

For Blix and Acebot,



The game looks really good still can't justify 60 bucks on it though.

So picked this game up for 20 bucks at Sam's Club. Think the price just dropped that low recently, cause I was at Sam's last week and pretty sure they still had it listed at 58.

Anyway. Must say it's unlike anything I've played before.

A tad predictable probably in terms of how the story is playing out, but also realize a lot of the story is crafted by my actions and stuff.

I dunno how to describe it, but the game gives me weird vibes.

I just bought this game yesterday will play it maybe next week, but I have heard a lot of good things about it. It's supposed to be a really depressing game, you're suppose to feel what the characters are feeling. It's like a depressing novel

I'd buy it if I hadn't already played it. I'm getting fickle in purchasing one-playthrough games.

Yeah it's unfortunate because they're usually good but I just can't justify 60 dollars on a 7 hour game with little replay value.

So I've been waiting until they drop price like a good boy.

The previews make it sound like it's more then one playthrough, and make it sound like your decisions can impact how the story ends. Is this not true?

Yup you can fully change how the game ends by how you play. However I got what is considered the true ending or the best ending on the first play. Also no matter what happens certain facts never change or contradict. Aka the oragami killer never changes or is someone different. Think of it as the many worlds theory in which the choices you make can go a or b and you just get to see both.

I just got through playing this over a period of a 5 day rental. I have to admit, I like it, I liked it a lot. the real question though, did you guys go all the way with Madison?

I managed to save the main 4, the only person I did not save was Scott's sidekick, the prostitute girl.

My brother is playing through it right now, and its really interesting to see the differences when you do something different or dont accomplish something. For instance, when Madison and Ethan are escaping the apartment where you cut your finger off, you have to cross the street to the subway. I accomplished this feat, while my brother did not, and he had a rather lengthy sequence of Ethan getting caught by the police and interrogated, and eventually getting freed by the FBI guy. I did not have this sequence at all during my playthrough.

This really keeps sounding like a game I'd really like. But I'm not going to get a PS3 for it.
