Hey guys I was wondering how many times y'all play through the episodes after your first attempt?

Me I tend to do it again right after I finish if time allows. On the 2nd episode I played it 3-4 times trying to figure out which path I really wanted to go down...
Heck when all the episodes release I might just go ahead and replay the whole game once finished from TellTale!

Am I mental or just addicted? :confused:

I cant be the only one!:D

I just want to start my replay streak once all 5 episodes are out, don't really know why... but I see a lot of people on the forums that have replayed the game over and over again, and I must say that I'm tempted to do it myself... but I'll wait :D

Not sure, but I am sure that too much is too much! ;)

I've only played each episode once. I'll replay them all once all five episodes are out though.

I've played through all of the episodes at least twice so far, but not for the reasons you'd expect. I actually just got done removing every speck of the game from my computer. Until the final episode is out, or until TTG can figure out a fix to the horrible technical issues with the game, I just can't bring myself to play anymore. There's just something utterly soul-crushing about losing all of your progress -- TWICE. I didn't even try going down new paths. I replayed the game the exact same way so that I'd be ready for the next episodes, but I guess I'm just kinda SOL.

Outside of that, I planned on going through it twice: The way I wanted, and the opposite of what I wanted. For the hell of it.

My wife and I play through each episode once doing her choices, and then I play through again the next day trying to do the opposite of everything she did.

I don't know exactly how many times I've played through each episode, but according to Steam I've spent 42 hours on the game.

Take from that what you will! :D

I do pretty much the same for my girlfriend.

Usually I get to play them first (since it's on my steam account) and then we go through with her choices on the other save file. Not that she tries to do the opposite of what I do but it more or less works out that way.

For Ep. 3 however we did her play through first and it showed me that I was "wrong" for saving Doug and it forced me to replay the first two ep. just to be "ready" for my play through of ep. 3.

Now I got my choices right where I want them. So I usually play each ep. twice at most.

I play through it twice. My standard play, and the other the exact opposite. Every now and then I copy/paste a save to rewind just to find out what a 3rd option did and then delete it again.

So far I saw no big differences between my plays.

Once each episode, I plan to go on a marathon after all 5 are released.

I played the first episode like 7 times, the second episode 4 or 5 times and the third episode I'm currently on my 3'rd playtrough (and not planning more)

I've left it to youtube to clear up my curious "what ifs". For me the game just doesn't deliver after one play.

Without the pressure of unexpected choices and having a very limited time to think about it, I can't help but feel like I'm not playing it "properly". Nothing shocks, I can't help but plan my choices far in advance. If I played the way I wanted to play, I would probably make the same or similar choices everytime.

I need to either give it a long time so that I can relive it like new, or enjoy it with someone else in the room. Whether it's me or someone else playing it really doesn't matter.

The time to plot and brood is sometimes and advantage, albeit a unfair advantage for this sort of game.

Unfortunately now-a-days the only thrill I get from the game after me and my girlfriend have had our go at it is to let friends play an episode.

I cant be the only one!:DI'll go with "confused". All the "choices" lead to the same place.

my replays decrease as the episodes go on, I replayed Ep 1 like 5x, ep2 maybe 3x
Ep3 one time was gonna do it for me but I had to see the Carley side so twice.

At least three times each to use up all my saves.

I would probably say maybe 42 or 43 times would be about 'too much'

Depending on how interesting the episode is, I'll play it a few times just to look at the outcome of certain decisions.

I myself have played each episode six times. The 3 saves on my Xbox and the 3 saves on my PC. Now that they are done, I really dont have any desire to replay them, just making sure they are all current til EP4.

I keep three save files for the episode, and i use each one to pick different choices. I use the first save file for my regular playtrough, then i use the second one for an Asshole Lee playtrough, the third one for a Silent Lee.

Sometimes after i'll go through the three playtroughs of a one episode, maybe i will replay the game around 2 times, if i'm bored.

You're not the only one. I, myself plan to replay the game multiple times in the near future.
