[Cymbols]

Anyone for anything tonight folks?

[probablyoliver]

So DriveClub is actually a bit brilliant.

[Draevyn]

Thinking about picking up Until Dawn but I'm not sure it's the kind of game I want to spend $80 on.

[Benji]

Is one of you steve 0406 or some variant of that?

[Maxx]

Well that was painful.

Hey @Jericode, when are we gonna star fighting zambambos?

Currently installing, and I'm going out to eat in a bit, so are you free in a few hours?

sorry dude, was out last night. I'll be around this evening though. Let's do this?

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Indeed! I used yesterday to start to get to grips with the controls anyway and get all the updates installed, didn't go to waste.

Picked up Until Dawn yesterday and it's pretty rad. Being unable to control the camera as you're walking makes things pretty freaky, and the game is delightfully cheesy overall. Butterfly Effect feature is cool as well, as things you do (like deciding not to harm an animal for example) could either help you or hinder you later on.

Is it difficult to figure out how to play it? 

[Ruki]

I'm probably gonna pick that up down the line.

Not at all. Just walking through creepy environments, picking up items (which flash from pretty far away), etc. And in the big menu of stuff it has your objective listed in case you get lost.

What's the style of the game? Is it like Heavy Rain where you make decisions and follow an interactive movie, so to speak, or more like an Alan Wake where it's still story driven but you feel like you're playing it.

Mix of both, but veering more towards Alan Wake. There are similarities with HR, but I feel more like I'm actually playing it rather than just watching. Searching for collectibles and just surveying the environment helps in that regard. Also there are not as many QTEs as I think many people expected.

What's Grow Home like then? I downloaded it yesterday.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Never played either, so will be keen to try both out when they eventually get released.

[Baddar]

I'd probably pick up Beyond as I didn't play it, not arsed about playing Heavy Rain again but definitely worth it for a first timer. Highly recommended.

One criticism I read about Beyond back when it got released was that it seemed the decisions you made during the game didn't really affect things much like they could have in Heavy Rain. Is that fair?

[Your Mom]

That's cool. I sold my PS3 before Beyond came out
