Anyone pick this up?

I really enjoyed the Back to the Future series they did and I need something new to play. Thinking of investing in the season pass.

I really want to try this too but I'm really trying not to spend money on games at the moment. From what I've heard/read it's really good though.

$5 an episode or $20 for a season pass. If you are gaming on a budget, it is a good value.

I am on a budget and this would be a great price if I didn't just pick up the Witcher 2 which is a very, very long RPG. Being on a budget and not having time for the game means I'll have to wait on it but it looks awesome. This also reminds me, I need to finish Back to the Future.

Just bought the first episode today and it's fantastic. It's a shame there's no season pass on XBLA though :bubblezzz: I found it pretty cool that they show the percentage of people who made the same choices as you at the end of the game.

Yeah BTTF didn't show up at all on XBLA, guess there are more restrictions about episodic games and season passes there. Dunno I'm thinking we will be seeing more of market for games released is this kind of format so they need to be a bit more flexible with this stuff.

If you want to throw up a spoiler tag, I'd be interested in what you thought of the story and what decisions you made.

hmmm... well I just checked my XBL point account and I have over 600 points available due to being a part of the Live rewards program... I might pick this up then.

The decisions I made were:

Spoiler
  • I was honest with Herschel. I was actually honest with everyone I met, didn't see much of a reason to lie.
  • I chose to save Shawn. Shawn practically saved my life by taking me with him so it seemed like a no brainer to try and repay the favour.
  • I sided with Kenny. I would've left Larry for dead if I could've .
  • I gave the gun to Irene. She was bitten, she was already dead.
  • I saved Carley. I really wanted to save doug, but Carley knew how to use a gun and seems like she'll be a good ally in the future.

Hey, I saw it this morning and it was only 400 MS points, so how could I refuse?

Totally worth the price if you are a fan of the series or choose your own adventures. There are a lot of tense moments and hard decisions to make. The score is amazing and really sets the tone.

Spoiler
Honesty - I lied to Hershel. His line of questioning was a little too on the nose for that early in the game. Doesn't seem to mater because by the end of the first ep most people know about your past anyways. This might come back to bite me later since previews indicate you are going out to farmlands again.

Who would you save? - I saved Duck. I figured there might be a way to save Duck and move the tractor. Hershel hates me now but I got Kenny loyal.

Loyalty - Sided with Kenny every chance. He seems like a good guy, has a family, and a boat so you have an escape plan down the road. To my surprise I was in the minority here. I guess it depends if you saved Duck or not, because in my story he was attacked outside the drug store and Larry and Lilly wanted to throw him to the wolves thinking he was bitten. Really burned my bridge with Larry (screw him) and Lilly but I did try to mend it a bit later.

Mercy - I gave Irene the gun. I was in the minority here. Why wouldn't you do this? She is just going to slowly turn and since you end up at the motel later I'm sure keeping her alive will come back to bite you. *pun*

Who would you save? - I saved Carley, she had the gun and knew how to handle herself. Doug seemed like a nice guy but I didn't get to know him or find he that useful. Maybe he would have been able to fix the power later?

Oh and during the escape when I made a break for the door I got punched out by Larry and Kenny came back to save me. Did that happen to anyone else?

Fantastic game and I just finished my first playthru.
I'm really impressed how intense it was
Totally worth a season pass if it maintains this quality

If I didn't own 90% of that already that would be a sweet deal. I'll probably wait longer... or maybe just cave next month... or maybe I'll just FINALLY not buy a collector's edition...

Thanks to the Steam sale I finally bought the season pass for this game and blew through both episodes yesterday. Freakin fantastic! Going to play through them again to see what happens when I make different choices.

Just finished episode two. I'm going to stick with just one run until I finish the season to see how my choices pan out.

Lily don't like me too much.
