While looking around I found that it's also getting a disc release.

Apparently, they want the retail release for December. So all episodes will need to be finished by then (or that's what IGN say).

Looking forward to that, as i'm not starting it till they are all released.

Telltale released a 'what did people do in Ep. 3' vid showing the global stats so far. Obvious spoilers for Episode 3.

That was my reaction too... Felt sure I'd be in the majority there... Funnily enough, this seems to be the episode where I've been in the minority more often than not. Really looking forward to part 4. This is definitely one of my high-points of the gaming year.

I was talking to one of the lads in work who let her stay on and he said the

shooting was an accident after a tussle for the gun and doug gets killed instead. So I gues most people who had Doug with them saw it as an accident and let her stay?

In my game she was a complete psycho and got left at the side of the road,

plus knowing what she does in the comics, I don't have to be worrying about it.

Well, I feel I must explain myself here.

I brought her along, purely out of not knowing what the hell to do with her, and I suspected Kenny of the theft, and never suspected Ben or Carly. I could always ditch her later I thought, but right now, get in the van, I might need her against Kenny, who I can't wait to get rid of.

Anyways, when is Ep 4 out. I was hoping today.

It's only being play tested at the moment.
No mention of it being submitted to PSN or XBL yet. Probably another week/10 days after submission, unless you are unfortunate to be on EU PSN, then who knows.

Here's hoping we get it Wednesday!

Reading Rise of the governor at the moment and since a strong part of it is about a man protecting his daughter, it's really making me want to finish Lee and Clems story.

I think we (euro psn users) would be lucky to get this on the 17th Oct. 24th Oct might be more realistic.

It's irritating how long apart each episode is but daamn they are so worth every buck Episode 3 was brilliant definitely my favourite so far,cannot wait for the next one

crybaby

Just finished Episode One really enjoyed it, nice to play a game where the dialogue is actually enjoyable to listen to, I also like the the timer to make your mind up.

Could do with more puzzle solving will start episode 2 today

F1ngers

This should be an interesting read when available:

Just finished it there on Pc. Another very strong episode, glad to see the quality and tension is being maintained to such a high standard throughout each new episode.

calex71

Well this is just great , i see they haven't patched the game to fix the issue that only lets you play it on the console you bought the 1st episode on :mad:

I'm up at home for a week so looks like I'll have to wait. It's not that I can't play it, just wont let me load my save or if I start a new game from ep 4 ill have lost my choices and the ability to save progress :mad:

CSSE09

Just finished episode 4, really tense, for people that haven't played it yet don't look at the spoilers below

Spoilers

Should have seen the bite coming, AHHHHHHHH, any one else let your man go instead of pulling him up? As soon as he ran away from helping Clementine I was just waiting for an opportunity to take care of him.

pixelburp

Gut-wrenching stuff; they really know how to turn the screw and I can't think of a single other game that's so effective at hitting you emotionally.

In particular, forcing you to dig each shovel-full of dirt when burying the kid was horrible yet effective, and spoke more than any amount of dialogue

Once more you simply have to admire how an ostensibly 'lo-fi' game feels more convincing with its human cast than most current-gen title, fair play to the artists & animators.

It's funny though, because at this stage whenever something seemingly good happens to the crew, you know it's about to go completely wrong almost immediately, so perhaps minus points for the scriptwriters constantly using this (by now) predictable tactic.

Choices-wise:

I saved Ben; I'm not sure why but given I can never bring myself to play the bad guy, in a game like this that counts for double. Yeah he left Clem, but he's just a kid & arguably more in need of protection than Clem (having taught her to shoot, she saved my bacon on the stairwell) I don't think he deserves to die because of this.
Totally gutted Lee got bitten, it's just a matter of time now & I guess there really won't be a happy ending for any of this; all I can do is make sure enough people escape & live, Ben included.

Grumpypants

Great episode I really like these short bursts that i can start and finish in an evening with out it feeling like a chore.

I saved Ben too, even though I wanted to drop him at the last second i changed my mind and pulled him up. I did hide the bite I just panicked again was just about to tell them but wasn't ready

Ep 4 was pretty darn cool I was talking to the director of ep 4 last night going to be interviewing him very soon, and Molly too what a great character she was and it's her first voice acting job!

Played through it twice today so see how other avenues pan out. I quite enjoyed it, but I didn't feel it was as excellent as Episode 3. I don't think things resonated with me as well as it was supposed to, and it obviously did in others!

Listen, i'll just spoiler everything.

After Ben ran away and left Clem to the walkers at the start, I was ready to drop him next chance I got. But over the course of the story, I felt he needed & badly wanted to prove himself despite himself, so I helped him up (even after moments ago saying we should leave him behind!!)

Although it was sad digging the grave, it was a child and dog we didn't know, unlike Duck, so I wasn't that sad about it.

I'm kinda sick of dealing with Kenny. Especially in this episode he seems very little help. I suppose he knows how to work a boat but he quite hurts morale in the group. I chose to shoot attic boy as Kenny was on his knees, let him sit this one out. I suppose I was a little annoyed we didn't get to properly search for Clem's parents, well at least go to her old house. I didn't appreciate the brow-beating at the end of the game by old man withers either!

Man, being stalked is very freaky, they integrated it very well and left a massive, sad cliffhanger. I can't believe Lee got bitten - even replayed it to make sure there wasn't a way around it - but it's a great push to make sure people play the final chapter. I thought the story might close with having to choose between your life and clem's, or maybe a happy ending, but it's gonna be a tearful one regardless. I initially hid the bite, then I came clean. Loved the more action-orientated segments. I don't suppose there's any way to kill all of them at the start, as Chuck has to come in for the rescue. The bell tower was also pretty cool as well. People should learn to barricade doors! Plenty of bookcases and tables going about

How are people liking Omar and his girl-friend? Who do you think the stalker will be? And who was Molly looking for (she had a picture of a brunette)? She knew someone in Crawford, so was she kicked out?

Overall I still really enjoyed it, it's been a harrowing road, can't wait to see the horrific conclusion!
