@bladededge: If you don't want to get super emotionally invested in characters that you know will die because it will hurt, then stay away from this. Because they're so well-written you might actually forget what happens to them for a while, and then when it comes back it will reduce you to a sobbing wreck. At least it did for me. In terms of plot, this doesn't affect anything you already know from LiS 1. I think this story was worth telling because the characters are so compelling, but I'm definitely feeling really torn about it now that it's over, knowing what happens to Rachel (I don't consider Chloe dead because in my headcanon, Bae>Bay).

Loved this episode and sad there's only going to be one more (and the bonus episode) after this. The play was SO GOOD and the kiss? I died. Love these kids. But every time I finish one of these I get genuinely depressed because I remember how LiS ends and, man... why did Dontnod have to do that? I could deal with Rachel dying, but Chloe or Arcadia Bay is just a cruel choice. I'm trying to focus on the good times in these episodes. But yeah, it gets me, in a way that very few other pieces of media do. In terms of temperament I was more of a Max as a teen, but in terms of my give-no-fucks approach to everything I was much more Chloe. And I'm pretty much a lifelong depression-haver, so I relate on many levels.

I'm really curious to see how the story wraps up in only one more episode, given that we only just learned who Sera is. But yeah man I'd happily play another 21 episodes with Chloe as the protagonist, she's one of my favorite protags of all time now.

I feel good about my gaf account with the same name getting nuked by evilore himself not, for the crime of calling him petty and spiteful for banning anyone who criticized him in any way. Turns out he's MUCH worse than petty and spiteful!

I've been here since day one too. I'll miss gaf though, I think the moderators did a solid job (if a bit trigger happy at times) and the policy was good. It discouraged shitposting, whataboutism, and obvious alt-right sockpuppet talking points.

I think I loved this episode more than any individual episode of season 1. I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. I got really invested in Chloe and Rachel and then, when I finished it, I remembered what happens to them (or Rachel at least) in LiS and got really sad. So now I'm replaying season 1, which isn't really helping, but I just want more!

The junkyard scene was just fantastic, such raw emotion is rare in games. I like the VO for Rachel and Chloe too, I think the rest is a bit scattershot, but so it was in the original, too. But I'm really on board with the story they're telling and I'm happy to say I was dead wrong in thinking this was an unnecessary prequel (made by a different studio, no less!). I think Deck Nine is better at writing dialogue than dontnod ever was, and I think they understand Chloe as well as anyone possibly could have. Absolutely fantastic start, can't wait to see where it goes. Hopefully it's a little bit less bleak than s1 - we already know there's more than enough tragedy in store.

@razzuel: The game explained that well enough, I think. There's a big prompt showing the controller and what buttons to use when they introduce the command system. It just doesn't really tell you what each command will do, and I think they want you to experiment, but I understand the frustration. I can only say that personally, using my tips, Trico pretty much always did what I wanted him to with minimal fuss.

A lot of people have trouble getting Trico to do what they want, and the game does a somewhat poor job of explaining its command system. You're supposed to kind of feel it out, but these two tips will solve the vast majority of your problems when interacting with your big floofy pal. Above all: be patient.

1) Don't spam! Give him one command and wait to see what he does. Spamming will only confuse him. It can take a few seconds for him to start doing what you told him to do. Be patient.

2) R1+direction is all you need for 90% of cases. If you want him to jump across a gap, you'll want to use R1+direction rather than R1+triangle, which is really only useful when you want him to jump in place (not really necessary, but fun) or put his front talons against a wall so you can climb up. I'm pretty sure you can beat the entire game without ever using commands other than directions and jump.
