I freaking loved the first game. I've been waiting for the disc release to play this. I got my Amazon notification that the disc shipped today. It's almost here!

I believe the SAG-AFTRA strike is over, and so Chloe and Max's original voice actors can be hired by Square Enix again. It's cool that they brought 'em back for this final episode, but won't it be kinda jarring switching voice actors midway through a game?

You can definitely tell Chloe is back to Ashly Burch, but it's not a bad thing. I'd say it just makes her sound more mischievous, which fits the tone of this short prequel episode.
Music is great too. It has one of my favourite songs by Ben Howard :)

Roughly.
Good.
Yes.

Play the first season first maybe.
Thanks! Last question.

Is the game more similar to Heavy Rain/beyond two souls in that there is great mystery and lots of action. Or is it more similar to the walking dead, which I found quite boring with simple conversations that really lead to nowhere, with less action and no real mystery to the game.

It's certainly not "War of the quick time events 2" :-)

It's about.. humanity. Human problems like growing up, learning how to stand up for yourself and others and friendship. You could say it's Telltale done right.

So I heard that on the PS4 both analogue sticks work like dpads and thus movement and camera controls are messy. Is that still the case with Before the Storm?

I hope they redo all of the episodes voices then... The new voices made me drop the game in the first place... Glad to hear that they are back for the last episode though... If they redo the voices I will actually consider not skipping to the last episode lol

    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.

    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.

    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, like them running in high school together, getting into stuff, and how they got hitched and had kids. And how the town of South Park was back then compared to now. That would be cool to see.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @salazarcosplay if they made a prequel, it would still be about current issues, cause it doesn't make sense to make it about stuff that happened 30 years ago that nobody cares about anymore
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's too late
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the older south park episodes about particular issues usually age poorly since the topic is no longer relevant
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    an exception is giant douche vs turd sandwich, that's always relevant :P
