Episode 2 choices are split less evenly.

That's interesting. I saw it skewed on a few of them. When did you finish?

I did enjoy being in the "minority" on more than one.

Are we able to go back and replay the second chapter to change things or do we need to start fresh with chapter 1?

I like my episode 1 choices, but I'm having a hard time with not being able to stop Clementine.....

Good question. Has anyone tried the rewind button? How far can you rewind?

The day it came out.

I would probably be in the minority on a few as well, as most people seem to play games like this as, "What am I -supposed- to do?" instead of, "What would I really do?"

A lawless future. A known killer tries to murder me and everyone I know. I disarm him. I am ABSOLUTELY shooting him in the face, and I'd be wary of anyone who would do otherwise.

I finished must later than that. Most of them a week or more later were less 50% split and much more skewed.

Hehe. At a certain point I realized you just gotta pick a side and roll with it. There's always the next playthrough!

You CAN rewind, but play it through to completion, otherwise those choice will not properly carry over to the next episode. It'll just default to your original choices.

Episode 3 is out today on PSN, tomorrow on XBLA and PC.

Just thinking about what they might have planned for these characters is making me feel really anxious.

I remember them saying it was due for late August, and I've been thinking they were going to run out of time and push it back to September. I'm glad they didn't.

Between this, the new DLC for Orcs Must Die! 2 and Mass Effect 3, I'm glad I have a holiday weekend coming up where I'll be at a LAN party with nothing to do but play games.

What sucks is that I had some non-gamers ready to try this back when it came out, but they balked when Steam only offered the all-or-nothing pricing.

Doing an episodic game and then not letting people buy it episodically is odd.

Oh well, it's still my game of the year so far. Fingers crossed I feel the same in 12 hours.

They should have given you a choice to have it a la carte or not. The thing is, Steam has been doing this with the TellTale adventure games for ages now. I can't think of a time when they let you get a season a la carte.

Given how disasterous Jurassic Park was, I held off on this until the sale when I could get the Season Pass for $15.

Was Jurassic Park really that bad? I own it now, but have not installed it.
