I picked up the special edition at GameStop earlier today and played for an hour or so after downloading all of the SE content. I really liked Heavy Rain and I'm enjoying this game so far.
 
Been playing it for over an hour. I don't like that the time within the game keeps jumping, but it does remind me of Pulp Fiction so that's a good thing at least. I like messing around as Aiden. You can find hidden bonuses with him too.
 
Just saw this on Wikipedia, not sure how to interpret this. I guess someone's ****ing with someone :lol

"Beyond: Two Souls received mixed to positive reviews from critics. It has an aggregate score of 90.00% on GameRankings and 72/100 on Metacritic as well as a 10/10 from Dragonbane who has no taste in games and likes little girls with teddy bears."

IGN gave it a 6/10? Holy ****.

Lol gotta love them wiki hacks haha.
 
Got a little further, the music seems out of place at times. So far the chapter "The Condenser" was the best one. I really don't like the pacing of the game.
 
Picked this up - the jumps in time get a tad annoying, but am enjoying the characters as portrayed by the main 2 actors...

Definitely interactive cut scene format gameplay, which is ok
 
I'm loving this game.
never played Heavy Rain, so this is new to me.

The visuals are amazing. Yes, it's more about just interaction, and limited control, but still. IT's pretty impressive!!

Some scenes were tense or even scary!
I don't want to give much away, but let's just say, my fave chapter when things got pretty emotional and the situation she is in, let's just say involves cold weather and some friends.

I probably just played this game for like 4 hours straight almost, with some mini breaks. I NEVER play games this long. But I'm just letting the story unfold and get wrapped up.

I love the back and forth timeline. Just like a movie.
You see where she is now, then see the issues as a kid etc.
 
I will love this game ! will give me a little break from my hardcore FF14 lvling.

Dude, the IGN score is crap.
Gamespot has it right. For this KIND of game and gameplay.

Graphics are even better than Last of Us.
And the emotional story and acting is there as well.

I'm past the hospital scene already.

It's the kind of game that people will either like a lot or won't like at all I think. It's going to result in mixed reviews. Moreso than a normal type of game.
 
Saw one review saying the dialogue is bad; so far, couldn't disagree more....really enjoying the story - just up to the Homeless section. Definitely good
 
At first I thought the jumping story would bug me. But I actually quite like it. The more and more jumps there are, the more and more they come together to create a picture.

It's like a puzzle piecing itself together.

Graphics are beyond great and I'm really enjoying the story and characters.

I finally decided to pull myself away from the game and take a break. I started at 730 and stopped at 130, so I played for 6 hours straight!!!

Even after six hours I still want to continue on cause I'm dying to see what happens next. I'm just starting the chapter called "Seperation". Does anybody know how long the game is? I've heard around 10 hrs. I really hope so because then I'd still have at least 4 hours or so to go. I don't want this game to end...
 
Dafoe so far is barely even in this, he really doesn't get a lot of screen time. "Homeless" is a really good chapter. Right now I'm in the middle of doing "Navajo."
