Finally opened this. Played through chapter 6. Wow, what a surprise. This is so well done. My only complaint is that the writing is very natural and performances are great EXCEPT for the CONSTANT allusions to sex in the early game. Geeze.

The sex references were an eye roller for me, too, but alas I fear I personally wasn't much better 25 years ago lol. Ahh, to be young and have raging hormones.... I will say that I feel some of it is there to toughen up your choices later.

Sex references/in-your-end-o were largely there to make fun of teenagers in horror movies where sex is all they think about.


My friends and I finished our first playthrough (where we passed the controller, made decisions as a group and were drunk as fuck) with half of the people dying. Funny enough we know exactly what to do for the future. I'm doing another playthrough right now.

 

[gadwn]

Finished it a couple of days ago, amazing experience. Well worth full price, will play it again for sure.

I hope we will get a "sequel" of some kind in the future. I need more big budgeted games like this.

 

[derExperte]

Seriously? I swear mine is stuttering like hell. Im about 3 hours in. Thats not some "pc master race joke post". I am absolutely serious. It looks like a slide show.

From earlier in this thread: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWOWDU3PgYU Framerate is obviously messy but the reactions when you bring it up are as expected so ignore the 'everything's fine' posts. Now if it's worse than that your PS4 might indeed have a problem. Was it in sleep mode? Then restart. Or try rebuilding the database (see Google) or something, I faintly remember someone having really bad stuttering but can't recall the fix.

There are lots of cheesy cringey dialouges. But the voice actings are pretty well done so they don't feel poor.

 

[Audioboxer]

Amazing game. It's ramp up is amazing as well. Goes all out batshit and revels in it.

Missed some clue in the last chapter that had Josh die. Can someone spoiler tag the answer for me? Everyone else survived.

You can see how much of the game made it over from the ps3 version but wow the graphics in the PS4 version are just on a holenothalevel

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Beat the game again. This time I played it lone and sober. Saved everybody but Matt.

And sorry but the reasoning is extremely fucking silly and the game kind of went up its own ass imho (after I read why)

Spoiler

-I found a guidance totem that told me to give the flare gun to Matt
- When Emily was falling I attempted to save her twice because lord knows she's looking for any excuse to break up with Matt, so I tried to save her twice and she still fell which is expected.
- Matt jumps to a new landing, I run a bit and a Wendigo gets me and impales me.

And when I go to read why he didn't survive I read that multiple reasons are as to why

Spoiler

1. When we found the map Matt shouldn't have agreed with Emily. He should have said going up there was a stupid idea.
2. When he said that I should have THEN given him the flare gun and attempted to save Emily as with the flare gun I can survive the wendigo.
3. If I don't say no to her in the map he shoots the flare gun automatically so you absolutely HAVE to say no.
4. You could always NOT attempt to save your girlfriend and leave her to die which is what saves him in this instance

And sorry but wow. How was I supposed to know that? I mean the latter makes sense but if there's a way to

Spoiler

attempt to save her and not leave her to die

and it all depends on that and the totem basically lies to me then what the fuck.

Whatever I beat the game. The chapter is basically

Spoiler

at the halfway point

so this next weekend I'll attempt to get the best ending as I luckily no longer have to search around as collectibles/totems carry over so I can just dash down the main path everytime. Great game even on a replay.


edit: should probably add that after getting the best ending trophy I don't know if I'll ever play it again. I might keep it installed if I ever bring somebody and we don't know what to do and let them play it. It'd be a great to play with a date if she likes horror. But by myself? No no no. I already know what choices to do to get the best ending.

 

[oatmeal]

Through chapter 4.

At first I was like "this analyst bit is a carbon copy of Shattered Memories", but as things started changing I was like "the fuck"

Loving it so far. Loving it.

I am still really confused about how that scene works, because my group

Spoiler

tried to save her twice, then jumped because we had to, and still successfully saved ourselves with the flare gun. So now I'm hearing about all this him firing the flare gun upwards in some situations business. Is it really just that saying no in the map scene (as we did) keeps him from doing that? Or is it prior stuff too, given that the Butterfly Effect screen blamed her harsh reaction to him in that scene on us siding with Jessica after their fight near the start of the game? It's kinda weird that it works out like that either way.

Spoiler

From what I can tell it mostly relies on the relationship level you have with Emily - if they aren't on great terms he can keep the flaregun for himself, if they're on pretty good terms he'll fire it to try and help her. A lot of people are using the "agree or disagree about going to the tower" thing as the deciding factor but I believe it's more about the relationship level, and agreeing or disagreeing about the tower is something that can really swing your relationship one way or the other so that may be what people are getting confused about.

according to the guide I found when I googled it

Spoiler

it's if you say no to her when she suggests going up there

. I don't want to go one chapter behind and have to replay even more of the game so to have a slightly different experience I let her

Spoiler

keep it and only had matt attempt to save her once

which hopefully he can

Spoiler

use in his defense later

edit: brb replaying the chapter because apparently (Decently big matt and emily spoiler)

Spoiler

if you question her about mike she admits she cheated on you with him.

Now I could have matt have his own 'ammunition' haha.

That's the point of the genre. Dumb jocks whose hormones make them do stupid stuff and the only virgin survives while all the people who have sex die. (it's kind of nerd vindication now that I think of it)

Spoiler

which is probably why noone actually has sex in this game, gotta save em all

 

[MadLaughter]

So, just beat the game,

Spoiler

saving everyone but Matt.

I'm already daydreaming about a sequel, which they've been teasing on twitter.

Spoiler

Emily's actress said "Maybe she'll be nicer in the sequel " too.

Here's what I think they'll be able to do for the sequel, given some real world context clues:

Spoiler

I imagine that of the bigger names in the game, (Hayden P, Rami Malek, Brett Dalton and Peter Stormare) they'll be able to get Brett Dalton, and MAYBE Peter Stormare back. Hayden and Rami don't really seem to have mentioned the games on their twitter accounts, and both have decently big shows going. Also, would be wierd to bring back Josh. Brett Dalton (Mike's actor) seems pretty excited to be in this game, so even though he's got a big-ish show too, I could see him being happy to return.

MAYBE they'll be able to bring back Sam. It sounds like this game is a success, and I could see the budget going up for a second installment enough to get Hayden. I doubt that they go the full "import your previous save" route and make the whole game based on that, because it'd be SUPEr expensive to create every permutation. If they do, maybe they make our survivors from the first game NPCs and have us play as a whole new cast of killable teens. Otherwise, I'd most realistically predict a sequel that picks a canon setup (like, Josh is a cannibal, Chris and Ashley got together, Matt and Emily broke up, etc) and has us go from there. It'd be a bit of a bummer for people that want to continue their specific story, but I think it's am uch more doable approach budget/scope wise, and a more focused story would probably be a better story.

My story premise that'd get these characters back together? Few years later, Chris and Ashley are engaged, but Ashley disappears one night Gone Girl-style. They find her beanie or phone or something near the edge of the woods, and engage in one of those massive search efforts where communities rally together to try and find someone. Chris gets his friends to help search, and then things go very wrong.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

The more I think about this, the more I consider how much of a dickbag

Spoiler

Josh was- especially to his best friend, Chris.

I mean, Chris didn't even have anything to do with the prank on his sisters, yet he puts Chris through two of the most emotionally stressful situations of his entire prank.
What an asshole.
Initially I thought "Why didn't he get Chris involved in the prank, maybe have a wingman to help out?", but then I just assumed it was too much of a risk that Chris would ruin it for Josh and tell the others should he say "no". Since Chris doesn't seem like a sadistic shithead, I imagine Chris would have said "no". By simply just not inviting Chris, he'd risk too many questions, i.e. "why didn't you invite your best friend?" Still- you'd think Josh would have designed his pranks in a way that wouldn't put his best buddy who had fuck-all to do with that fateful night in such terrible situations.

This is why I was so damn heartbroken in my first playthrough when my dumb ass got Chris killed. Felt horrible for the guy (well, all the characters for what they went through- but especially Chris).

I would be very surprised (and actually kinda annoyed) if they let you import your save into a sequel given that there's only one save and you have to overwrite it if you want to play again, so there's no way to import your first and/or best play through if you start again after that

or if that playthrough was actually done through the episodes menu

Do clues carry over if I start a new game? If they don't i'm not too sure i'm bothered to play it again.

We just posted our spoiler-free podcast discussion of Until Dawn:

http://quitorcontinue.com/until-dawn-podcast-review/

All four of us really, really enjoyed it. It seems to me like a the sort of game David Cage promised, but never managed to deliver. SuperMassive really nailed it.

I feel sorry for anyone that doesn't get to play this game early on - it's getting loads of coverage (rightly so!), but because of this the twists are becoming more public. It was great being able to play through it without any idea of what was coming up.

3 teens saved in my first playthrough. Nearly 4, but...not quite.

that Chris was passed out drunk across from Josh my first time through, but I watched several people stream this game since and Chris definitely got the worst of it...and he didn't even do anything.

Exactly. He was crazy and unpredictable and could have ended up killing some of his friends. But that's what made his character so interesting and multi layered, never really knew what he had on his mind. He really seemed to be haunted by his sisters "deaths".

Josh in his own off-his-meds sick way to push both of them together

if you recall their entire conversations up until that point were about

Spoiler

getting chris with ashley

He even tells Sam

Spoiler

that all they need is a really traumatic experience to get them together since neither wants to do it

Why else would he

force him to choose between Ash and someone else twice

.

And if you aren't completely aggressive

Spoiler

towards josh when you're with mike interrogating him he outright mocks Chris for being such a giant pansy and never telling her how he feels. This is after Chris and Mike have been insulting and telling him to shut up so it came from a side of desperation

So I wouldn't outright call Josh

Spoiler

a dick in his reasoning as to why he picked on the two of them the most

In fact if one sits down to think about it

Josh only fucked with Chris, Ashley, and Sam because they were the only ones there. Mike and Jess were in the guest cabin, Matt and Em were looking for her bag and eventually going towards the tower.

. The only thing

he really did was close the door for Matt. I don't know why

 

[Endo Punk]

I feel its games like these, the hidden gems or sleeper hits if you will that really make a games library stand out. You go in with not much expectations and get blown away by a unique experience.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

you know now that I think about it why the fuck did

Spoiler

Josh allow everybody to leave the cabin. Besides Ashley, Sam and Chris were two of the least responsible people in that group. Sam was against it but wasn't going to stop them, Chris was drunk passed out with Josh. Literally everybody else had a bigger hand in embarassing Hannah and leading her to her death that day. Especially Mike. Yet he let them leave to the guest cabin.

I'm sure his original plan was

Spoiler

to make them all feel guilty AND get Chris together with Ashley

but it ended up just being very dickish.

Sam was against it but wasn't going to stop them, Chris was drunk passed out with Josh. Literally everybody else had a bigger hand in embarassing Hannah and leading her to her death that day. Especially Mike. Yet he let them leave to the guest cabin.

I'm sure his original plan was

Spoiler

to make them all feel guilty AND get Chris together with Ashley

but it ended up just being very dickish.

Spoiler

That's what I was thinking as well. He seems to be almost punishing the most those least responsible, but it's not like his actions were always logical. He seems to be having a crush on Sam, but still kinda puts her through a hell. Plus his plan to get Chris and Ashley together doesn't' work very well if Chris decides to "shoot" Ashley. I assume his original plan was just to scare the hell out of them and guilt trip them, but he could've ended up hurting them badly.

Just started playing this with my wife and we both love it as we are horror movie fans.

Is it just me or the girl in the beginning the same actress as the super annoying girl, who I let die, in the Telltale Walking Dead game?

I actually made that connection aswell, but I checked after finishing the game and it's not the same actress. Happy to hear you're loving the game.

Boo Sam died right at the very last scene.

Spoiler

I don't think I moved though? Didn't have problems with any of the other keep still moments. Oh well. Doesn't matter if it's the last scene I guess. You don't really miss anything.

The plan:

Spoiler

I suppose Josh wanted to get Ash and Chris together and at the same time scare everyone else.

So if the Wendigo and their keeper weren't involved then the night goes as such:

Ash and Chris and Sam are captured. Em and Matt know a killer is around. They alert Mike and Jess. They all find the blood and pigs head and scarecrow stuff etc.

Maybe like Ash, Chris, and Sam he captures them one by one making it look like they were murdered.

Finally the big reveal and "I did this for my sisters!"

But due to the Wendigos nothing goes as planned and he has to improvise a lot and even conclude it faster.

FUCK

Spoiler

Gave the flare gun to Matt not realising he'd use it straight away, so he had no defense against his killer

If Emily is actually dead, that's Matt, Emily and Chris dead in the space of like 30 minutes

yep. Bullshit reasoning as to why a character dies as it's literally out of your control except if you

have a bad relationship with her before that or don't attempt to save her more than once
