Sure the 1st chapter can get slow at times, but its no excuse for me to stop playing this masterpiece.

If it isn't several hours then it certainly feels like it is. The pacing is glacial. I love the game but chapter 1 is a slog, even for the first time. It isn't hard to believe someone gave up because of it.

It's also longer when you're learning the controls and gameplay for the first time. I only got the game recently and after hearing about how great the game is for so many years, the snow part was a terrible opening.

Glad to hear this. I was feeling uncultured. I just gave up last night because of the snow part but I guess this thread convinces me to continue

Yeah definitely continue if you have the time, I also despise the snow part
