That last choice in episode 4 I literally flipped a coin on it and the person I ended up on was who 65% of the players chose. I also chose who 51% of the players chose for the choice in the middle.

When are you right?
I'm not a clairvoyant but I'm right about stuff. My stock bets have notably outperformed the S&P500 and Dow Jones over the last year for example.

I'm enjoying this. Although I kind of wish the actual "dispatch" parts were a little longer.

I think some ppl are too wrapped up in the Telltale model where the shyt literally wasn’t finished, and you were waiting an indiscriminate amount of time between eps, usually months. Having a form of appointment TV is perfect for this style of game with a short release frequency imo, unless you just absolutely need to binge content.

I do understand the “I don’t want to pay for an ‘unfinished’ product” crowd tho. That will only boost the sales once all the eps are out.

It's an 8ish hour game being spoon fed out over the span of a month or so. I still believe people bought this title despite the release format not because of it. I know I didn't buy it for that format it's mildly annoying by the time I'm getting into the game it abruptly ends. I don't typically sit down and play a game for 45 minutes to an hour then turn it off. I only game when I have a large block of time to do so.

I played the first two episodes last night and I really enjoyed it. It's like a better version of Telltale games thanks to actually incorporating some gameplay mechanics in the dispatch part, and I was invested enough in the story to try and make sure Invisigal got some extra EXP so I could upgrade her skills more.

I really got a kick out of the dispatch gameplay. I'm already gameplanning for my second time through the story and just taking my time since I'll be caught up in no time and waiting for the last couple of episodes to drop.
