Downloading now. I guess it's too early to ask if the mods for the game have been updated?
Sancho's won't be, read the comment form the "mod thread", and if you used his mod you will need to use his save fixer posted in the OP of his mod thread.

Just a heads up, don't be expecting an update for this when the game launches Saturday or Sunday (including Steam version) as still not heard anything from Sancho.


Don't spam this thread update, or update when....

Yeah, I have done the Jaye Rom path, Jaye non-Rom + Open Mal path so far and I... Did we skip the entire third act??
Honestly feels like the Jaye Rom path is more of a choice the dev is trying to force you to make. Instead of weighing what the characters would do and choose to do.

I'm trying to be delicate and not drop any spoilers until we're a few days into the release.

What do you mean beat the jaye route? Isnt the final chapter remaining?
The most recent update is v1.0 which completes the main story.

To be clear, there are at least three updates left: The first will be a mid-cycle update that includes consolidation of the two divergent codebases and a massive cleanup of the earlier chapters and the removal unused images, sounds, etc.

The second will be the epilogue which looks ahead at how your ending pans out. Effectively the final chapter.

The last will be our revamp of the first 2.5 chapters to bring things up to our state of the art. Call it the "remaster."

By next year at this time, we expect to be deep into the development of Firebreak.

Bro it's literally always been like that lol.

You literally have to go out of your way to not date Jaye.

thanks for that didn't realize that last update will mostly be focused on a epilogue ( not counting the remaster of the first 2.5 chapters). So it seems be a perfect time to replay the game then I was gonna wait for the next update but this post making me thinking about changing my mind

It felt like when a TV show is cancelled but the network says okay you can have 1 or 2 more episodes to come up with an ending.
Yeah feels more rushed than GoT S8. Did the Mall Rom path too now, not much deviation so far.

I hope this turns out to be like ME:3 with the ending. Because right now it feels like we got the original ending.

Not even that, actually the pinned post with the links is unlockable with the $1 tier. I just did it. So, yeah at this point it would feel a bit wrong to share it :HideThePain:
I agree I went put in at least $10 but was shocked it was only a $1 it ain't much considering the work they've done

Man after reading you guy's reviews......why am i getting a feeling they botched the endings...:(
The ending/endings are still to come, hopefully the end of this year.

Personally I really enjoyed chapter 9, wish it was longer but then I always want more.

So far I've tried my fuck boy save, where he's in an open relationship with both and also slept with every other woman as I figured this where I would see the most content.

Will try a new pure Jaye run later as she is my favourite anyway.

The original was not great, later they added more choices and it was a little more impactful. It went from bad to somewhat okay.

For this game it also felt like we went from season 7 to season 8 story wise. And ME:3 choice wise. Granted there are like 2 pivotal choices you make the rest is all hinged on that.

In addition to add a grievance with an in-game context. These choices feel a lot like the let Jaye down and drown path. The consequences of that make no sense. You are a massive asshole to her the entire way, but because you chose the third option and get called out. You end up at the bar and drinking your 'sorrows' away. The sorrow of no longer being considered as CEO of the company?

The guy who has travelled the world, had to bury his best friend, had to bury his parents and had to deal with a wide variety of tough situations. Gets reduced to a sad alcoholic within a single scene. In addition George can't cut you out of the will either. He's not Gandalf the white, he truly has no power here.

But that one I can live with, it's basically just the dev saying. "I don't want to add this path to the game."

But I can't go into details without going into spoilers, so I'll save it for now.
