And for the record, I had a freeze at the same spot you did. Only issue thus far.
Loving the experience so far. One thing in particular really got me and made me restart as it wasn't what I wanted to do. I totally just reacted and then regretted resetting as it really was just instinct. Which was fantastic!

I was pissed! But I'm not restarting anything. 2nd playthrough can be perfect.

Make sure to put some context with this... like "third chapter" at the very least. I read it, thinking you were talking about (in the backyard)

Shelby is my favorite character so far.

How could you love the demo and then not be impressed by the game thus far, especially considering two of the first three levels were from the demo?

I am loving this game, but have one question regarding what button to push during one of the events.
Sorry, more context. I think the fourth chapter, with Shelby.

For this thread, context should be included for quotes. Too many variables in the game to not possibly spoil something for players.

..but alas you weren't, and now that part is known to me before i wanted it to be.

My bad. This game is tricky because it's hard to recognize what chapter we are on because there are so many and they seemingly fly by. I could have put Jayden's investigation but that could have meant the first part, not the second. I think I'll just refrain from talking about it for awhile. Don't want to ruin the experience for anyone else.

It is hard, I agree...perhaps an estimate of where you are?
I don't know - I really want to talk about the game, but it's such a personal experience here that possibly tainting others actions sounds sad.
I will say though, I did not play the demo, so it was all new to me. The mall scene was fucking INTENSE. I don't know if it's because I have a kid cooking in the oven right now or what, but I was so emotionally involved in that scene that I fear for the rest of the game!
Regarding Ethan and his final shot before the next character's first scene

So how is the extra content integrated with the game? Do I wait until it's available, or will I be able to jump into it later if I start playing now?

It's listed as extra content and selectable from the main menu, and because it's not directly tied to the story you won't miss anything. I think. Look at it as an episode of the xfiles that didn't tie into the mythology, but was a good standalone 'monster' episode.

I played up to the convenience store scene last night (hopefully that is vague enough). Really great so far. The voice acting and some of the faces are a bit off, but the story and characters have still drawn me in. If I didn't have a lot to do at work, I would have just taken the day off. I wanna see what happens next!
Also, L&O, regarding your spoiler in post #387, I agree. I really hope it doesn't go that way.

Fro - good way to indicate the spoiler. Likely makes sense for people who are there, and is vague enough those who aren't won't click it.

Please don't hold this against me, but I went to gamestop to take advantage of their trade in special to get this.
We're still friends, right guys?

I made my origami bird during the install. That was pretty fun, and a clever way to pass the time.
