I have to admit my face has made some funny expressions (according to my eldest son) while playing the game.
I hope you do go and get it, it's important to support games like this so that companies feel confident about doing something different.

I honestly think the graphics surpass The Order: 1886.

I just finished the game, and oh my god I am mad at myself.
SPOILERS obviously.
4 survivors on first play-through, I'm kind of proud of myself. I think I got it figured out how to get out with everyone alive, except one.
What a fantastic game, I will be playing it again for sure. But I have to take a bit of a break, that was a very stressful game.

Sam, my favorite character died in the very last event of the game, because my hand slipped and controller moved!

Saving both Matt AND Emily seems to be a very convoluted sequence of events. I have to somehow get flare gun to Matt WITHOUT him using it?

Both Matt and Emily survived my game and he used the flare gun. He just has to jump away without saving her when the fire watch falls and meet up with Jess.

Matt using the flare gun apparently depends on a decision you make in the previous episode. If he does use it, then ditch Emily instead of helping her. She'll be fine either way.

Question about clues - Is the order that they appear on the grid in the status screens the order they appear in game?
Dammit Amazon. Was supposed to get my copy yesterday, then it was changed to today, and now it's showing as Wednesday. Should have just paid a couple of quid extra and ordered elsewhere...
Weirdly, I'm more interested in playing this than I am MGSV. I just want something short, easier to digest and highly entertaining. Not sure I'm ready for another massive open world game.

Beat the game, and totally pissed at myself for not following horror movie rules.
Never should have sent Ashley off on her own, as she got her head ripped off.
Is it possible to save Josh? Should I have not been moving in the water?

No, they are not found in order.

Ah, okay. I was worried there for a moment. Thanks.

Sort of. You will generally find them blocks, but they don't necessarily appear in the exact order in the grid.
No matter what you do the Wendigo in the water will get him. There's a diary you can find a slight bit earlier, and whether or not you find that determines exactly what happens to him from there.

Emily gets a good solo chapter later on as well.
Thats apparently a glitch. If you can record a clip of it so Supermassive can fix it. For now there is probably no way out besides resetting the entire file I'm afraid. They should have unlocked the chapter selection earlier...

Also wish there was noises in general coming from the controller at tense or jump moments. Whilst some jumps work, others don't have any of the desired effect they'd have wanted.

Okay, just finished the game.
Earlier in the thread I said I was not sold just yet, that I was on Chapter 3, and was not sure if I was feeling it.
Damn, I was dead wrong.
No hyperbole here, as far as this type of game, it is pretty much the best I ever played. For the "choose your own adventure" genre of video game, it does not get much better.
So yeah, I do think I got about the worse possible ending one could get. LOL
Pretty much probably at the very least have to replay that final chapter.
For this genre though, the game was damn near perfect. I am just left really, really impressed with the execution. I also loved the story, something I can pretty much say I almost never like in video games.

I only had 2 survivors, Chris and Sam. Up until I blew the rest of the group up in the house, I only lost 2 people, Matt and Jessica (and Jessica was not until towards the end of the game)

I see your point, I ended up liking pretty much all the characters by the end and wouldn't have minded the some filler sections even if they weren't all action packed.
I would like to see what percentage of people shot Emily in the head because she's who I'm guessing would be the least favorite of the crew if you had to choose one. I didn't shoot her but I thought it would be revealed that Mike had no more bullets left if you decide to pull the trigger but nope I saw in a video that you could just pop her in the head lol.

Anyone's game crash at all?
It crashed near the beginning for me when

I went to follow the footprints and picked up some cylinder shaped object, the camera zoomed in and stayed at a black screen and had to unplug my PS4 (it also was checking the harddrive after I managed to turn it back on.

So far it looks like Emily survived for most people, even for those that hated her haha. Very happy about that personally.

So there's a part when playing as Emily where you have to pick left or right, according to global stats right was picked somewhere around 70%. Why is that? Does it have to do with people's handedness?
Count of Monte Sawed-Off
un33dab@dpu$$y
Ha, possibly. I picked left because I'm left handed.

My first time I picked right, I'm a righty

Probably yeah, a subconscious thing
You better get your ass ready haha.
good, I'm up to chapter 4 and already lost 2, at this rate I don't have to worry about them
Bach Cello Suite No.1 in G I think?
YES. You are my savior, found it right away. I can't thank you enough for telling me, and so quickly!

Oh sweet baby jesus.... is it really don't move or is it more "Keep the controller within the outline". Cause there have been some where I'm holding it as still as fucking possible but I see the light start drifting toward an edge.... I don't want to move and correct cause it says "DONT FUCKING MOVE" but I just watch it drift over and fail. You guys that are passing these sections.... do you still move it a little just to stay within the lines?

Just finished Chapter 7. Craaazy shit. I figured
I also suspect that
. We shall see, though.
So my death count remains at 2:
Game is great. This will certainly make my top 5 in the GOTY list, how high depends on how good the last couple chapters are.
it was going to be a Washington relative who was tormenting everyone as the psycho using their horror movie expertise as revenge for the sister's deaths after I found the faked newspapers everything fell into place. But I did not expect Josh to be the one who was doing it, considering I had him get buzzsawed. Now I wonder what would have happened if I had picked Ashley or neither of them since he didn't want anyone to actually die..
I also suspect that
the mine flamethrower guy is not evil and the only actual killers in the game are the monsters that came from the mine and mauled that deer
So my death count remains at 2:
Jessica and Matt

I just have the controller resting on my lap while playing, and when I get to those sections, I have never had a problem.. Keeping my hands and controller resting on my lap while playing tends to keep the controller pretty stable...

I'm right near the end now I really don't want to mess up now. There was a tough stretch that I needed up a couple of chapters back that is still annoying me.
DirtyLarry

You did, and thank you for doing so. It was pretty much right after I asked and you responded that the game did ramp up.I TOLD YOU IT RAMPS
A little OT but it is relative to this game, I rented it from GameFly. I am thinking of purchasing it especially if it counts as a purchase towards the overall sales. I'd like to say with my wallet "I support this game."
However I am leaning towards it was already purchased by GameFly so if I purchase it from them, it is just them making their money back and does not go towards a sale.
Does anyone know definitively?

I've never had any trouble with the holding the controller still portions...I don't hold it or sit in a special way or anything, I just, well, hold it still lol.
DirtyLarry

Wish I could say the same. I am definitely a little more shaky in my older years than I was when I was younger. Actually kind of fucked up how it happens.
So what I did when I suspected a hold still segment was coming up was actually play it with the controller laying on my coffee table. Only thing it made a little more difficult than usual was pressing R2 and moving the reticule, but it was still absolutely doable.
This solved all the problems I was having with the hold still encounters. My controller was still as could be.

As far as I know, it doesn't actually use the light. It uses the gyro sensors (I think thats what they're called?).
Rumble though
They only say that because there's 8 characters who can end the game in one of two ways - they live, or they die. 2^8 = 256. Technically there's that many endings, but most are just a small variation from the next.
Some choices matter a lot. Others don't. Honestly you'll have the most fun if you ignore everything that might be going on behind the scenes, and just enjoy the spectacle you're creating.

MAN! That last don't move ugh
Most intense moment in the game IMO. It was the one time I thought the don't move mechanic worked really well.
