sewer, then again in the bunker thing straight after the sewer.

trield to calm down the people who's bolt hole I'd stumbled into by talking my way out of it and reasoning with them. To then find myself with the only option being snatch the gun from the guy was a bit odd, I was searching the screen for another option when I ran out of time and he blew my brains out. It turns out I had to 'calmly' take the gun out of his hand. WTF? Why that scene couldn't have ended with him believing me and telling the fat bitch to shut her hole I'll never know. He could have kept the gun on me and everything. Taking it off him just reeked of bullshit, absolutely no one is going to give up their gun to a complete stranger in that situation.

There were a good few before then though. Reusing a previous area is fair enough, but Lee heading back for the tape left on Doctor Zed was a bit odd. Just jumping over that fence when you know full well that the last time you were there the place was infested with zombiods, and that there isn't a way back out was a bit daft. How did they get round that problem? Fade to black then Lee is back in the school. Cop out.

Then you watch the tape and it shows the doctor getting killed. How did the tape end up in his sky rocket? It would be the last thing on my mind as I'm bleeding out in a room full of medical supplies.

Then fucking stupid fuckin Ben with the hatchet? Just fuck off.

The writing has been pretty good up until this point, but they've severely fucked up here. I'm just about forcing myself to get through it as I want to see what happens next.

Oh and nobody mention the QTE on the stairs with Lee's leg. Just awful.

I quite liked all of the sequence in the school.  The doctor had been inadvertently filmed abusing Molly, so if I were shot and needed to try and sort myself out I'd absolutely make sure the evidence was with me or destroyed rather than leaving it.  What's the point of getting myself patched up if in the meantime someone found I'd been exchanging medicine for dubious acts with a teenage girl?  Nope, that tape's staying with me!

Ben with the hatchet seemed alright.  We've seen instances where the zombies get bored of something, or distracted by some other noise, and arb off, so it's not like they would have been pounding on that door.  Locking a door with a bar through the handles isn't really that common an event, so if all was quiet I can absolutely imagine a twat like Ben might have looked and thought "hey, that's useful, I should carry that!"

... and the QTE with the leg was one of the most tense, panicky moments of the game.  I really liked the balance between clearing the stairs and then desperately dragging at the leg to get it out, but if you've hated all the QTEs I can see why you wouldn't like that.

Zombie on the bell

returning to the alley goes, though, I thought it was ok; from the vantage point on top if the shack thing he could see if it was still overrun, and if not, perfectly safe to jump down. I'd like to know how he got back though, did he still have Molly's ice axe?
