Just got through playing this tonight if anyone wants impressions.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

I haven't finished it yet.  I stop when they came upon that gas tanker hanging from the bridge.  I've enjoyed this episode the best so far.  Alot more action and important decision making.

It's really dark to me for some reason. Tough decisions and few good choices.

I have the first two chapters on my computer, but everytime I played it, the game reset to the beginning the next time I logged on. It frustrated the hell out of me, so I set it aside and haven't picked it back up.

Thats a good way to describe it. Like I said I haven't finished it but the first part was definitely really dark.

I was waiting for Steam to start the download last night but they were pretty late in offering it up so I was only able to play a very little.  Looking forward to finishing the chapter tonight when I get home.

Chapter 1 reset for me, but I started Chapter 2 new and since then it's worked.

Didn't realize I was so close to the end before when I stop.  I stayed up late last night and finished it. Nice cliff hanger there at the end.  Now the wait until the next episode.

Just finished it.  Good story.  I didn't think the adventure game elements were as good as the previous efforts though.  Puzzles were too easy and I died a lot during the last quick time event.

Most of the puzzles were easy though there is one that took me a while to figure out.

I gotta say using that torch seemed like a bad idea the entire time. And who didn't figure out that there wouldn't be a crowd following them?

I was expecting to see a Michael Bay type moment at the end there with the crowd, the torch and the puddle.  Oh well...

Anyone else find the changes to the group make up to feel kind of abrupt and somewhat forced?  Guess they had to do that to pare back the possible story branches based on choices made in prior episodes.

Was it buggy for anyone else?  It seemed to me that there was some dialogue missing on my playthrough.  Sometimes Clementine's mouth was animated as though she were meant to be speaking but there was no sound.  Sometimes people referred to conversations that supposedly had taken place yet I never heard them.  Also, when Lee and Clementine found the torch and were walking back to the group, Lee had his pistol in his hand, but also tucked into the back of his shirt.

+1 on your Michael Bay moment. Talk about an opportunity lost.

Oh, well.

The cast changes were abrupt. Maybe that was the point. I found it mildly depressing. Just...dark. But I guess that's part of the Walking Dead schtick.

Yeah, it's just kind of frustrating because I could see what Lily was going to do from a mile off.  I was hoping the game would give me the opportunity to respond.

I have too much faith in people. I never saw it coming. I figured it was a bad choice on my part. Glad to know that wasn't correct.

I liked the Doug character so I was not happy to see him go.  And the whole Kat and Duck thing was just sad.  I liked the whole idea behind getting the train although I wish I could have seen it plow through a herd of zombies.

And you guys are right it was disappointing not to see a huge explosion at the end.
