Sin -- Episode 1

The concept sounds interesting, have each chapter, or episode play out depending on the largest choices made by the players in ther previous episode.

I have three complaints:
1. Steam - I dislike the steam application, and unlike HL2, this game will probably garner a more extensive use of the nearly obligatory online connection/"validation feature".

2. Price per episode - I understand Valve needs to pay the bills and make money... but 20 bucks for 6 hours of gameplay seems a bit high. maybe 10-15 dollars would bring in more customers. They could even have the first episode cheaper as an incentive, or throw out a demo (if they haven't).

3. The Community-driven outcomes will eliminate the players who use different tactics to play through the level, and will push towards a "this is how the majority did it, so you have to as well" mentality. This is mostly speculation and educated guesing, as they said they still need to determine the extent of the outcomes (I am relieved that they at least acknowledged this possible problem and are addressing it).

is there a good seeded torrent out? I'll at least try it out before making a final judgement.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
