Yeah it was pretty cool. I was kind of bummed they canned all the DLC they had planned in order to incorporate Move (other than Taxidermist).

I agree this game was great......at first. This game is honestly too depressing. While I went through and watched all the endings, I couldn't believe some of them. It's a great game but just down right gloomy. I felt really depressed by the time I watched the ending like 20 times(or whatever it took to view every ending)

Great game. I wish I could go back and have the experience of playing this game for the first time. Don't get me wrong, I've played through it multiple times and it's been rewarding to see the consequences of different actions in the game but there was something so special about that first playthrough, I was literally on the edge of my seat the whole time. I went home for spring break and my mom (who is not a fan of video games) was so immersed in the story and would sit down to watch me play, even asking me not to play if she wasn't around. Haha.

Truly a gaming experience I will never forget.

Agreed, that first playthrough was a great experience. Quanitc Dream's next project better be equally amazing. Can't wait for it, even if it is a few years.

And, curious, how'd mum feel about the, er, "sketchy" scenes?

I just finished this game recently. Ethan was shot by the cops, Madison just plain never showed up to the warehouse even though she knew that's where Shaun was being kept (not sure what happened there, I might've pressed the wrong button after the explosion), Jayden resigned and Shelby got away... even though Madison knows he's the killer.

The game was definitely unique, but a story-driven video game needs much stronger writing and some more consequences of actions.

Behind the times as usual, but I just bought this game recently and finished it last night. I had a lot of fun with it.

I had a pretty decent ending I suppose, since Ethan banged Madison, saved the kid and is moving into a new place with both. On the down side, the killer is still on the loose, Lauren is in a watery grave and Jayden got chewed up by the mangler. Whoops!

Overall, outside of a few frustrating control related moments (crawling through the glass), this was a great gaming experience and was totally worth the $20 I paid for the game.

Yeah, I really enjoyed this game since your actions changed the story. Felt more like I was actually participating in the story and I loved the moody atmosphere. On my initial play through, one of my favorite characters died and when reading this thread, I saw people mentioning lots of stuff that I didn't see since that story arc died with her. I think I ended up playing it over enough to see 4 or 5 endings but I would have liked to have seen even more of them. It got to be a little repetitive though having to play through the sections over and over making different choices.
