Yeah, Christ, episode 2 alone is where the thing really begins
Share your thoughts and feelings immediately after, please! I need me some second-hand emotion!

People called Romanes they go the house?
Hmm...Expecting news by next week, and then either 1-2 weeks after that for release.
I'm actually kind of curious as to what is going on that's 'delaying' this past the initial anticipated date.
It also has an unfortunate consequence of possibly(probably) pushing episode 5 back as well. :/

You know I been thinking, I know the contents of episode 4 (some of five aswell) were leak way back when episode 2 was leak. I wonder if their changing things around from the leaks? I know the wolf among us did this, when everyone kinda of figure out some stuff based on a preview.

There is one thing worth noting, the game's writer was working of-site, but now seems to be working in-house at Dontnod for a while, Interesting he is brought over now... it should be far too late to alter Ep4 in any way. Maybe they want to make some changes for EP5?

Coming from Half-Life, this is light speed.
This made me lol. Bring on the consequences.
I'd go for Dana. I mean... deyum gurl.
Well, just finished episode 2. Ohhh boy. Where to start.
I really liked the slow build-up of the episode,
Kate at the begging in the showers and in her room was rough to watch
diner and scrapyard
Whole roof sequence with stopping time and saving Kate (not sure if she can actually die) was heathbreaking.
Also I absolutly love how each episode ends,
I remainds me of Sons of Anarchy, or other shows, where we can see what each characters is doing in their last moments of an episode.
Not sure if I want to start episode 3 tonight, or wait with it until episode 4 is released.
Wording threw me for a loop. To be clear, they haven't said anything either way about subsequent LiS seasons, right?
Maybe I should have waited a bit more before jumping in. I thought episode 4 was real close to coming out, heh.

Dana is the best dancer for sure. She actually surprised me with how cool she turned out to be, was expecting stereotype for the less important characters when I first started playing this and the game was like "lol nope".
Max and her goofy no-dancing skills are endearing in their own way though. Great character.

Yeah, Dana's one of the coolest characters in the game and I wasn't expecting her to be written that way.
Yep, which is the reason why I only finished Episode 2 this sunday, and will start Episode 3 this week, despite being there day one for episode 1. I don't really mind, though, episode 1 was still fresh in my mind.
my polaroid is ready
Major episode 2 spoilers:
She can die, and she did in my game. It's absolutely heartbreaking, it was such an intense experience. From the moment she first jumps and you keep rewinding time in vain, trying to change something, you start to feel tense, you don't know what to do, and then TOKI WO TOMARE. Well, shit, a new power, awesome, I win, right? No, not really. At least in my game, it was a true tragedy in the purest sense of the word. Not even stopping time itself was enough to save her, and all I got was a different view from the same scene I've seen so many times.
I'm really glad this can happen, though, after they approach so many serious stuff, especially with Kate's situation, it would be shitty if a happy ending was the only way, and they were only using the suicide as a setup for Max to power up her stand.
I didn't cry or anything, I wasn't that attached to Kate, I guess, but man, I don't think I've ever felt this way when playing a game before. I felt like complete shit. You know those cliche scenes where the hero tries to save someone, fails and blame themselves, and then a supporting character tells him/her "It's not your fault"? I could never relate to that, I understood the scene and the emotions involved, but it was never really relatable, until now. I didn't need anyone to tell me shit to start blaming myself. It took all my strength to stop myself to going back a save and googling what I should do, but I really want to stick with the consequences for these choice-based games. Then Warren tried to comfort me, "you know it's not your faul", he said, or something like that, but in my head I was thinking "yes, yes it is". You start to think about "maybe if I paid more attention, if I cared more." I even read the messages from her family, but I guess I didn't care enough to remember exactly who said what.
Episode 2 was devastating, I won a new power, I'm DIO now, that's fucking awesome, but even that wasn't enough to make a difference. I'm possibly the most powerful person in the world, and yet I felt powerless.
It was a truly magnificent moment that I don't think I can ever forget.

I also really love how they put the "identify yourself with the issues presented here? Visit xxxxx to find a support group near you", or something along those lines. They really go deep into heavy personal issues in this game, and I love that they don't take any of it lightly, they fully understand that even if their game can make people suffering from it feel better, maybe even motivate them, it might also not be enough, and they encourage people to seek help.
Omg, you have an analog camera? That's hella rad!

I own this dumb thing... but is also pretty cool...
About a 1 per sheet though, which is not good!
I really wonder what that means. Even more choices? Branching storyline? A longer episode? Bigger mind blowing twists?
Dontnod is killing me right now. I neeeeeeeddd it.

I should finish the episodes of The Dream Machine. Such a great game.
I don't see how people can lose all enthusiasm for something when its delayed a little bit, I'm hyped for Tales From The Borderlands Episode 4 even though that's going to come out in over 3 months

At the rate I play games, if I buy the season pass when Ep 4 comes out, I may actually be caught up by the time Ep 5 hits 
You're missing out, seeing everyone's reactions to each episode (especially Episode 3) on release day is very entertaining, it's half the fun
Fairly certain ill enjoy it more without the wait. I hate waiting.

Yep. Having all the episodes in one day would kind of reduce its impact on me. Episode 2 left me thinking for weeks. Episode 3 did that again, it still gets me thinking.

"Most ambitious episode yet" ?
It's nicer with transparency
:
Double continuity, repercussions on EP 5, two different endings depending on the timeline you chose. Believe
[/insane]

No I was just tongue in cheek lol
It's nicer with transparency
get the superior Dark GAF theme or GAF Gold to fully appreciate it though

Is that a haiku?
that was a meme but I do have two instant film cameras in a box somewhere. I kind of want to dig them out and find some film.
Speaking of "analog cameras", I really miss darkrooms. Digital isn't as fun.

I did that stuff in college. It was a blast to develop the film myself. Smelly, though.
Yeah, I'd say save episode 3 for pre-episode 4.
Also, Kate can
die. She did in my game.
Lol fuck, really sorry about that. Rushed the post out at work.
Meant to say 'Episode 2' and have edited it.
See, I actually dislike this thing, and I wish we could turn it off like in TWD. The narrative's internal logic should dictate whether things will have consequences or not. We should be able to work that out for ourselves.
The same thing really pissed me off in The Wolf Among Us, but in the end that turned out to be compelling anyway.

Me too. I felt terrible when I saw that happen in my game.
Great touch, though. It helped drive the idea of getting into role and reading the texts you get.
I hate everyone who bumps this thread. I always think they sneak released E4 on the down low.
Now you will feel my dashed hopes.
On that note, I need my LiS fix, it feels like forever. I want to try out the different paths you can take but I told myself I'm going to do a full run with no peeking at the other outcomes.

Wait was it mentioned somewhere that you shouldn't constantly water the plant?

Absolutely.
You were right, Mom. I should have listened to you
You receive a text from your Mom reminding you to water the plant but also warning against drowning it.
Hey everyone, just Scott saying hello!
