Poor Swery he's such a wonderful designer and creator, he shouldn't have to deal with that horrible crowd!
DO NOT READ THIS UNTIL AFTER YOU HAVE COMPLETED EPISODE 2!
Major Plot Spoilers + Speculation follows:
Real Bloodthe super drug, how does it tie into all this? It clearly gave Philip Cheney electrical super powers, and abuse of it seems to result in spontaneous combustion according to news articles. Is Real Blood connected to the fact that all the blood was drained from Little Peggy's corpse?
I suspect that's also the cause of David's diving ability somehow.
August's hair turned white OVER NIGHT, which is both a Twin Peaks reference and sign that August is up to some bad shit. Did David (or August) kill Little Peggy or is there actually a third party involved?
What's with the repeated "It's like I've grown wings" line that Peggy says. Is she high on Real Blood?
What about Little Peggy's pregnancy? Did the baby die? Was the baby taken?
August Oldmann is clearly a future version of David Young. Literally Oldman Young. Look at this picture. Aside from appearance, there are other clues like the fact that they disguise his voice and Little Peggy remembering similarities such as the fact that August played hockey just like David. So why would David go back in time to raise his wife? Desperation to change the past and control future events? Is Kaysen loyal to Oldmann?
WellYup, I was beginning to think that it's somehowdriving David's powers. The conversation David had with Peggy was especially poignant in the cargo area where she told him about True Blood giving people powers. Although, we don't see David ever take it so my theory is that Kaysen is putting it into his food to somehow serve his own purpose. Possibly Kaysen is the True Blood honcho himself?
Major Deadly Premonition spoilers:
When they introduced Kaysen right in the beginning, I was thinking to myself, "There's no way they'd make a person with the same build and the same name the villain again, right?" I'm still 50/50 on whether this is a red herring or not.
I don't think so, but you can save at a telephone at almost any time.Is there a good way to see how recently the game saved? Played a bit earlier then quit, and when I started it back up I'd lost 10-15 minutes and had to do a bunch over again

Dumb question: Can you play this game in the dark with Kinect?
Bought it awhile ago, and haven't got to it with a backlog and wondering.
Thanks.

Yes. I played in the dark at first, then later I added some ambient light out of fear that the lack of light is causing additional lag in the clover mini-game, but I think that was just my paranoia talking. It should work fine in the dark.
Screw that clover minigame. I keep failing at 1150.
Bought it, beat it, didn't enjoy it. Had to force my way through it. Not my style I guess.
For you did it seem uninteresting, or just frustrating? I have it, but haven't started yet. Trying to adjust expectations.
The story was interesting for sure, just didn't like the gameplay. Seemed very linear to me. I wasn't sure what to expect, I've never played The Walking Dead or The Wolf Among Us so I figured I'd give this a try because as a kid I loved the Monkey Island series and the Indiana Jones games.
I was disappointed in the locations, especially for episode 2, and how much I could actually explore them.
Another major gripe of mine was the use of the controller. I have a kinect, but decided to use the controller. You can play through the game easily enough with the controller but don't expect to get a decent score during any of the action sequences. The joystick cursor just moves too slow. It was very frustrating.
To put it into perspective, I also feel that Valiant Hearts is grossly overrated. When I play a game, I want to play a game, not read a story. That's what I felt like I was doing here too.
Money and cookies left for me. Although I might also try to get 100% for everything.
there is an easy way to exploit the clover game and get infinite money very quickly. The cookies were the last things I needed, those were very annoying
just gonna leave us hanging like that?
There is a way to farm credits 1,000 (or more!) at a time without moving from the spot you're standing on, but it requires a bit of set-up.
First, you can play through the game completely. Be sure to activate the Clover Touch mini-game by speaking to Roland Walken near the end of Episode 2 (in the cargo hold). This appears as an extra case in a blue dialogue box when you speak with him. Complete the case by finishing the mini-game and then feel free to complete the entire game. Once you've done so, choose to replay a chapter from the main menu. Select any chapter and make your way to your bedroom. On the end-table near the hallway door (inside your bedroom), there will now be a Roland doll which--when interacted with--will activate the Clover Touch mini-game inside your room.
Now, play the mini-game to the point where you unlock the MVP Score Hunter achievement (you will need to score higher than 1,200 points). This took me around a dozen tries and is partially luck-based, so keep at it and you'll get it before long. When you succeed, you will be awarded with some items and 1,000 credits.
Next, feel free to save your game at the phone in the hallway. Return to your bedroom and once again pick up the Roland doll (you can hit cn_B twice to skip the brief mini-game set-up scene to save time). Once the game starts, immediately hit cn_B. The game will ask if you want to give up or continue. Choose give up and the game will end. HOWEVER, the game tells you that your final score is whatever your LAST final score was (mine was just over 1,400) and award you with 1,000 credits.
Now, all you need to do is pick up the doll again, hit cn_B to skip the brief cut-scene, hit cn_B again as soon as the game starts, quit out, collect your 1,000 credits, and repeat. You can exit to the hallway and save your game as many times as you like, but keep in mind that if you exit to the main menu and try to continue from that save you will need to re-play the mini-game and set this situation up again. Your score does NOT carry over if you exit and return to the same save point, so once you have a good score going, farm as much as you want/need before exiting the game.
NOTE: Leaving the room, diving to the plane, etc., within that chapter does not seem to reset this situation, as long as you don't exit to the main menu or shut off the game. Also, on my second farming session, I managed to earn over 1,500 points in the mini-game, which netted me 1,500 credits each time!
If it's an unlockable, I'm not sure I have anything else left to do. I guess it could be DLC, but all the other DLC is groups of 4 items.Yeah that's what I was wondering. I was worried I might have missed it in the deliveries since I got one food item.
If they continue the trend of basing the DLC on Microsoft IPs, they'll have lots of options if they look at Rare's and Twisted Pixel's games.If it's an unlockable, I'm not sure I have anything else left to do. I guess it could be DLC, but all the other DLC is groups of 4 items.
Oh, and going by the other missing numbers we've got at least 6 more "collaboration" costume packs. Halo and Forza seem obvious, but I have no idea what else to expect. Quantum Break? Crackdown? Scalebound?
We are working on plans to promote D4 more. Great support from the community is a key, thanks for that.
