I can't take how slow this installation is.

Bit annoying that US store takes so long to update.
I don't even live in US but have a US PSN account and my purchase is on that account so have to wait for the US store to update which is always at odd times rather than at midnight like every other store. Then there's the matter if it's PDT or EST...meh

Are you serious? .... This is my first time waiting for ps stores to update, I thought it was like preload games where it's out at 12.01 on the day its supposed to be released. I really shouldnth have splooged on this game and and Tales from Borderlands the past week lol .. Should have taken my time, playing it at pace so the episode would have come out by the time I was done lol.

And I thought Asian PSN games udates were bad.

Yea well Tales from borderlands isn't out either on the US store.
Other games should really just pre load it as updates and unlock it at the same time for everyone throughout the world, take some notes from Destiny.

Can somebody help me get optional photo 2?

Is it the
man upstairs in the gallery looking at the six photos, or the girl sat downstairs? Neither of them are working for me. Max has just found out about the tornado still being real, so maybe I was supposed to have done it before that?

Love my Playstation 4, but this is probably the last episodic release that I'll get for this platform. I hate waiting longer than everybody else

girl downstairs. she has a camera behind her on the bench that you can use. it may be too late, i don't think you can interact with anything but the thing to progress the story at that point?

So, I just finished the final chapter and...

OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
 
I've been stuck on the part where
Jefferson hits David in the dark room
for 20 minutes.

It totally fucked up the episode's flow which was perfect so far and I still don't know when the fuck I'm supposed to press x.

Ugh.

If you want the help, click the spoilered text:

You have to warn David, then pull the cable to the left of Max with her foot, IIRC.

You have to warn David, but do it a few seconds after Jefferson picks up the camera tripod, so he won't have time to go back and hit Max. If you do it a few seconds later, you get to the next section.

EDIT: Beaten twice. Above two are correct.

Are there more puzzle solving in this game, than for example something like the Walking Dead?

There is little puzzle solving in the game, it's fairly simple with the rewind power.
It's all about the story itself and some of it are the consequences (which is done better than Telltale games).
 
Finished. Fitting end. Could see the
crucial choice and what it revolved around
coming a mile off, but that did not detract one iota. Rather, it filled me with dread.

Absolutely wonderful game that succeeded far more often than it failed.

Not gonna lie, had something in my eye at the end.

Hey, now that all the episodes are out, a friend of mine is sensitive to nudity and sexual stuff, she turned off the game when the shower scene started and hasn’t gone back, is there anything else sort of like that, worse, etc., in the game?

She's sensitive to perviness in games and I am telling her that scene is nothing, but haven't gone past that point yet, any non-spoiler answers?

I don't think this game is for your friend if she is that sensitive.

Is your friend Amish?

Tell her to find a new hobby. I dont think gaming is for her if she's so offended or sensitive over stuff like this.

As to your question, yes the game touches on some sensitive material that your friend would probably go mental over.

Only other thing I can think of is that there is a point where
the two protagonists will be in their underwear,
but it's not in a sexual manner at all.

There's a lot of prancing around in undies, but nothing extremely sexual until Episode 5 spoilers
episode 5, and it's supposed to be very uncomfortable.
No nudity.

Yeah, she's kind of dumb with this, there's some things she likes that are far worse than this scene (she's a very big fan of Tomb Raider for example, the older games), but for some reason she thinks since Episode 2 started with a shower scene that's some sort of precinct for what audience it was trying to attract despite her thinking episode 1 was amazing. I think this will make her not playing, but she's honestly being very dumb about this. D<

I'll forward this post with the responses to her, but I think she's going to write it off with her logic, a shame since she apparently really liked the first episode and I do think she would really like this if she would just get over some minor things.

If she can't handle a shower scene then Ep 4 and 5 will probably be a no-go entirely for her. Nothing explicit or exploitative happens, but it's dark and the game earns its M rating through dialog and themes for sure.

Lol, relax man. People have issues. Everybody's got issues.

Eh, there are some people in underwear, but it isn't sexualized. At all.

I will say, though, that the plot gets dark, and a lot of creepiness (serious creepiness) is inferred, even if it isn't shown explicitly. If your friend doesn't like thinking about that sort of thing, probably ought to give it a miss. It isn't until episode 4, either, so your friend might not want to get that far down the road before finding out.

Hard to say more without plot spoilers

Finished this at 6am this morning. It's one of the best episodes, but for a series finale I felt a little let down, especially when I was faced with
a choice at the end
. I hoped it would have been more linear in the choices towards the end, with all my previous choices coming together, to give me a unique ending, what I got was completely different and felt like a bit of a cop out tbh.

Overall the pacing was good, there was a lot of tension and urgency thought the whole episode, there was a puzzle that killed the momentum momentarily though, but that was forgiven near instantly.

On an end note, I'm officially depressed that there will be no more LiS, no more waiting 6-8 weeks and getting myself hyped up. It makes me sad.

Oh and guys, did some of the revelations make you think that Dontnod got their story ideas from NeoGaf? More specifically
David Madsen saving Max, using Warrens photo to reverse time, and ultimately having to let Chloe die for the "best ending".

So, a sad ending? Bittersweet? Happy? Everyone dies, right? Spoil me away, by PMs if you don't want to post it here.

Really I just want to know if it's a sad ending. That'd motivate me enough to play through the rest of ep4 and ep5 lol.

Head over to the spoiler thread instead.

And I definitely recommend you play the rest, to me 4 and 5 were the best episodes.
