What did everyone think of the game in general? I thought the storyline was great, I didn't know Shelby was the killer and then when it was revealed it was a bit disappointing at first. When the full story is revealed however, you realize if you play the game "right", you get to see how Shelby really is and his motivation to clearing everything he may have left behind to make a clean break. They need more games with this kind of storytelling and you controlling the action until the very end, being able to decide your own fate is a nice break from other games. My only real annoyance with the game is the shake the control for X seconds on certain points, it just doesn't always work right and could have probably used a different method instead.

I mean the parts where you have to shake the controller right/left or up/down for a few seconds. Many times I did it and it just messed up at the end no matter what the pacing. I also noticed a number of glitches, mostly the music replaying the same 30 seconds.

The Taxidermist should be interesting.

it would be better if you could use the analog stick instead, but i guess it did change how the controller can be used.
The only glitches i had was Madison

falling down some stairs out of nowhere and the sound cutting out when madison gets to the hotel. Im still mad the killer was Scott, i felt for him when his brother died.

I'm looking forward to any dlc. Im waiting untill the 4th to redeem my special edition code even though hmv sent me another one.

I love this game. I almost dont want to play through it a bunch more times to get all the trophies. I sort of feel like i played through it and got my story and dont want to see all the other endings.

As for the twist i thought they played it perfect. I was annoyed that i knew there was a twist so was suspicious of everything but i still didn't see it coming. I liked Shelby as a character and really thought he was a good guy. I thought the scene with the reveal was brilliant too. Shelby burning stuff and getting the flashbacks.

OMG i was freakin shocked that Scott was the killer. When we went back in time to see John's brother trying to find help to free his brother and the dad refused to help, and he goes back and John says "Dont forget about me Scottie" i was like "Hell no!". It all made pefect sense after that. He wanted to find a father capable of saving his son. Wow that game was great. Getting the trophies suck but the story was legit

Hell to the yes. The story kicked serious ass.

At first I heard John say Scotty, but it didn't click until he started burning the evidence that it was actually him. As soon as it showed the flashback in Manfred's shop, I was like, no fucking way Scotty! You're better than that!
