This has been my most anticipated game for a while, so I was really excited to start it.
I've played up to the questioning the wife in the first real mission, where the abandoned car is filled with blood at the rail yard. I plan on playing without restarting if I **** stuff up, but I restarted this scene a couple times because I'm still getting the hang of the game.
First impression: Why am I such an obnoxious jerk? I went up to the crime scene photographer to maybe get a helpful hint and instead I insulted the guy. I was also a total ******* to my partner of the drive over. Who insults their partner and TO on the first day?
That carries over into the questioning thing. I'm talking to the wife and I ask her husband's whereabouts the previous night. She's not very specific, so I figure she's hiding something and select Doubt. This causes Cole to outright accuse her of murder. Same thing happens with the alibi question: I figure I'm gonna ask her to establish an alibi for the record, instead Cole is like "I KNOW YOU ****ING KILLED HIM SO I DON'T CARE WHAT **** YOU MAKE UP!" Why didn't my partner slap me? Is the whole game like this? It will be high on the unintentional comedy scale if so but also one of the most disappointing games ever.
I guess I'll make this a playthrough topic.
EDIT: I forgot, I'm also a total douchenozzle in the Marines flashbacks.
