    Got it Tuesday. Game is amazing. Crazy detailed, and the depth is amazing as well..

    I also love how the story is really coming together.. Still a lot of questions to be answered and I still have no idea on who the "Origami killer" is, but damn this game has me hooked.

    I'll eventually get to playing this game, still really busy with the newborn.

    OK, what am I missing. I did everything but I don't see any code anywhere. Did I screw something up?

    OIC, it's expired!

    lol, if you want the demo you can just go to the PS Store and download it now..

    That early access stuff was just for the pre-release.. But the demo is available to everyone now..

    The game itself is very gripping.. Played a little bit more it tonight and the story is getting even deeper.. It's to the point where everything I first thought, I threw out..
  • imex99
    can't wait to play this.... Your pumping me up!!
  • hoops23
    If you get it, try to buy from Gamestop or Amazon.. I believe both were offering the first chapter of the DLC content for free (I know Gamestop is).. It's an additional chapter to the game that follows a different character and is going to retail at $4.99 when it actually hits the PS Store.. There are going to be a few more chapters released, which is great news as it expands the game even more.

    I think I finally got to the point where I know who the killer is, there was a nice little twist in there and it wasn't really what I was expecting.. There are still a few subplots going on though, that will be interesting to see how those play out..

    I downloaded the demo from PS Store and thought it was awesome. Might be picking this up.
  • hoops23
    Just finished it up and got the "hero" ending...

    The twist (at least imo) was pretty unsuspecting as the game kept me guessing right up until the end. I'd definitely give this game at least a 9.5/10.. Very well done and I honestly can't wait to try some different scenarios to see what other endings I can come up with.

    This has to be one of the deepest, most thought out stories I've seen in a video game. Seriously, I hope this is what the future of gaming has in store.

    Explain this game to me. My mom's birthday is today and they have a PS3 for the blu ray but no games. Are the controls easy? Is it an objective based game? Is it a shooter? She loves the show Criminal Minds.

    This game would not be suitable for someone who isn't familiar with gaming (the control layout, fast reflexes, etc.).

    There are a ton of quick time events, which force the player to push a series of buttons quickly as they appear on screen...If I tried to get my wife or mom to play this, they would quit after 20 seconds.

    Thank you

    Yeah, the game really tests your "reflexes" as a lot of the sequences require quick button presses known as "QTE" or Quick time events.

    My G/F loved watching me play it though, as the story is top notch and she was pretty interested to see how it unfolded. Kept us guessing til the last minute.

    Quick Time Events are lame. Never played a game that used them a lot that they didn't become incredibly annoying in.

    I usually agree, but they really fit well with this game. It brings up the tension in some situations that you have to get out of quickly..

    If one of your characters die, they're dead.. No bringing them back. so their role to the story is now gone, which throws the entire story into another direction...

    I'm going to replay through this game a few times just so I can see some of the 20 different endings.
  • I Wear Pants
    I guess I'll take your word for it.
