    IIRC every 3 months a new Book comes out. There are five in total.

    The rough aim, according to an old post by Ragnar, is to finish the game by September 2015. A completely meaningless poll on the official forums predicts a Christmas release for Book 2. The next most popular guess is in mid-February. That's all we "know".

    I hate episodic games. TLJ and Dreamfall are among my all-time favourites, but I will be waiting until this gets fully released.

    Unless, of course, Red Thread Games go bankrupt and never finish it...

    It's good. Feels a lot like Dreamfall, but dialogues are mostly interactive now. There's a big focus on exploration when you get to Europolis.

    Performance is terrible, though. I was getting around 20 FPS in most areas, and you can't disable depth of field which makes everything look like you have cataracts.

    FUCK THIS SHIT! Playing it right now, I love this series. TLJ was great, and so was Dreamfall, despite having no gameplay. But this? This!!? Is taking it too far. Mired in gelatin-thick sentimentalism, telegraphing every possible consequence from far away, cutscene after cutscene after cutcene. Ragnar Tornquist, just make a film already. You retard. Fuck.

    Alsao drunk. Sorry.

    I'd have liked them to use UE4 for this, not this piece of shit Unity engine that can't render large environments without becoming a slide show.

    Why everybody are are using so much bloom nowadays? Are they hoping that people will get blind after 5 minutes of plaing and never notice how shitty game is or what?

    TLJ was enjoyable, I played Dreamfall only briefly and I cannot remember if I liked it. I have expectations for Chapters and hoped that it will be like TLJ, but this one is apparently another 3 hours long interactive movie :( .

    Have they placed these shiny buttons here particulary in order to draw viewer's attention to her ass?

    Wow, talk about a Telltale rip-off, down to the "X will remember this."

    Telltale did the same thing for adventures what Bioware did for rpgs. I hate them all.

    Well, unlike Bio, Telltale actually can write good dialogues and story.

    Not that "X will remember this" will ever even matter.

    I'd use the word better, not necessarily good. They are better than Bioware, yes. This does not make them adequate.
