The only thing I don't like about this game so far is the film grain. I really can't stand it and wish there was a way to toggle it off.

If you play the game as if any weird visual happening is part of the time egg hitting the fan...it sort of works out just fine...haha. How does one determine what is done on purpose or not in some scenes after all?
I've seen some freaky stuff in the first 2 acts. I don't even know if it's a glitch..and amazing effect...or my eyes messing with me.
This game is great, LOL
You can watch certain characters when they move during normal time they have a ghosting effect around there arms and its definitely the technique in the game....its not too distracting on my monitor, but I can imagine when the TV upscales it, it could probably do some distracting things.
Man, this game really shows how important good gameplay design decisions are. Initially I thought the individual cooldown made way less sense rather than an unique bar for the time powers and thought the UI for them was quite distracting.
After playing, it just makes much more sense and funnier to strategize which powers to use one after another, rather than chickening out to cover just to refill the single cooldown.
It's been a long time I don't get this excited to finish my workday and play more today. The story is quite engaging and I'm having a lot of fun with the gameplay.

Remedy delivers again. I really enjoyed Max Payne and Alan Wake and this is no different. Combat is a ton of fun when you start chaining your different powers together. The TV show segments also seem really well done and exceeded my expectations. I'm only in chapter 2 but so far this game is great.

The start of the game made me long even more for another Alan Wake. God damnit, Remedy.

I actually notice the ghosting a lot. Off-putting somewhat, but I just theorize that it's Jack's past selves trailing behind him
because, you know, time powers.

Gonna download Alan Wake soon, I never bothered with the DLC for some reason.
I'm really enjoying this, the vibe, the effects, use of colours.

I'm really enjoying the game. Have been exploring lots of stuff and only just now finished with Act 2, but damn does it look and play good. I like all of the time powers except the Time Vision, which is really just an other Eagle Vision, Hunter Vision, etc. etc.
The first TV episode was also a good start and I actually can't wait to finish it all to see how different it will be on the 2nd playthrough.

I have a concern, though. This game has checkpoints prior to cutscenes. What were you thinking Remedy? Why would you ever do that to us?

I'm loving this game and surprisingly the show as well. They both have flaws but these are outweighed by everything they do right.
Amazing graphics and effects; outstanding score, licensed songs and over all sound design; terrific gunplay only heightened with how you want to use your powers and tackle encounters and an engaging story with both the actors in the game and in the show delivering quality performances and has me itching to see what happens next.
Just finished episode 3 of the show and I'm about dive into Act 4. Can see me replaying this quite a few times already.
Now off to work on Wake Returns, Remedy

Played a little bit yesterday night and got completely sucked in.
The production values and attention to detail in the story telling and characters are refreshingly high imo.
Freezing time and exploding it for the first time was cool too.
Hopefully I stay impressed till the end.

At the beginning of Act 2:
Might restart the level seeing as it's still quite early
The Chronon piece in the building next to the gate you timestop can't be picked up for me. I grabbed the one on the scaffolding above the trains just fine, but the one inside the building doesn't give me a button prompt to pick up
Might restart the level seeing as it's still quite early
You need to go through the gate and get into the building from the top via the trains
edit: or are you actually having a bug?
Oh, I know that specific thing is part of the way they designed the game and not part of the "time effects". Just saying that playing as if every visual thing is, made it more fun..haha.

I had a bug like this in the beginning of Chapter 3 in Act 2. Seems to be common for people.

Yeah, I got into the building without any problems, just can't pick the chronon piece up.
I restarted the level, only to have this happen to me

Yeah it was weird. Little Finger was talking to me and moving his hands, and it was ghosting like crazy. There's definitely some oddities in the game.

Nice!
That would totally depend on your internet. It seems like the servers starting on launch day were really fast. My 4gb patch was barely noticeable during the disc install.
I'm on basic internet (US) and the episode streaming has been totally ideal. If the wait seems too long, I'd say skip that 75gb+ of it.
yes, that was only thing that actually stood out.....besides zooming in and seeing assets pop in but.....other than those minor things I truly believe resolution plays a small part in the overall quality of the image it seems with some of the amazing techniques developers have learned to use in their games. It made me a believer in 720p again and if we get games like this in that resolution so be it.....I'll gladly play them!
Because it is part of the HUD? What kind of question is that.

Does replaying chapters keep your upgrades and can you just replay chapters on another difficulty to earn those "complete game on (whatever difficulty)" achievements ? Or do you have to start afresh?
Finished the game last night. Really enjoyed it. Combat was fun all the way through. I did have an issue with the final encounter. I wish there was a checkpoint in the middle of it. Am going through the game again now on hard. Picked hardline for the first junction. Hatch is fucking savage and I love it.

Yeah, I'm excited to see all the outcomes from junction point stuff. A second play through will be great.

Still quite early on (Act 2) but shit is starting to get good now I'm getting used to some of these powers. No regrets about buying it and I'm already intrigued about how much the game/tv show changes on my second playthrough.

Don't drop those mines man.
But yea, I'm enjoying the game. I honestly can't wait to see the second episode from the show. I'm interested in what's going to happen next.Yeah you keep your upgrades.
The achievements stack so if you finish on Normal you'll the Easy achievements too.
I've been back to an act to get a Cronon piece I missed and had all my upgrades.
The upgrade point then went into my normal save.

Loving it. Probably going to end up my GOTY unless something else comes along and surprises the shit out of me. I was lukewarm at best too before it came out. I just preordered on a whim after seeing gmaeplay videos from gamersyde days before. I'm glad I did without a doubt.
Me too. I loved the AW video in the first area. I took screen shots of it but they failed to upload. I will have to check to see if they're still there so I can get them.

I am in act 2 part 3. Loving this game.
I only noticed it just now, but when I rotate the camera really fast I can see a double of Jack, as if it's ghosting, but not really a ghosting effect. I assume Remedy did this on purpose?
Also for some really weird reason the difficulty is on normal for this part of the act while everything else was on hard. Why?

Cut scenes stutter for me, but the gameplay is smooth.
