In my game every died except Shaun. I really liked the scene when you kill the drug dealer. The buttons popped up and I hit L1 before realizing what it did and Ethan shot the guy then said "I'm a father too" without missing a beat, great directing. What's the word on podcasting this?

Walking in circles happened to me a lot too.
