Anyone who hasn't got it, the sale should be tomorrow.

Let me preface by saying Duck's slow death and mercy killing is powerful as hell and the Lee and Clementine bits are as always really good.
But... the episode felt like a reboot to me to a status quo in which they didn't have to deal with your choices up until that point any more. I view choice in this series as being primarily about relationships between the characters and ejecting every character who you could have a divergent relationship with in immediate succession came off a bit transparent to me as a need from the developer to cut down on that stuff. I understand the need to and would have accepted it, but I think they made those cuts just a bit too deeply.
Then there was that the whole Ben betrayal didn't really work for me since aside from a brief appearance in episode 2 I didn't really know him.
Same goes for the new characters, especially Chuck who the group bizarrely immediately accepts off-screen. You'd think a group that has suffered so much at the hands of outsiders would be much less willing to let outsiders into close proximity to them.
I get episode 4 is mostly this weird sort of filler but most of what goes down in that episode works for me.
I bought all of this a few weeks ago and finally started playing it today, finished the first two episodes. It's really great so far, but yeah the 360 version is kind of busted. Constant hitching and facial animations not triggering and off-sync sound effects. It really hampers the experience.
It's a testament to TellTale that I was still fully engaged with the story and characters, and really stressed over the choices despite this.
Did anyone [BLACKOUT]NOT leave Lilly on the side of the road[/BLACKOUT]? And if so, what happens if you take her with you?
