welp i should play life is strange i guess i've had it for a while and i've had it repeatedly recommended and I did the first two chapters ( I think?) and so I've just got three more to do but... i dunno why i'm like "eeehhh..."
oh i guess not.
fucking hell it shows me as having all five episodes (via the season pass) not only purchased, but installed, if I go to the PS store, but in game it tells me I have to purchase the DLC
which I can't
BECAUSE I ALREADY HAVE?! (well okay I got it through PS+ but STILL)
@Nine Does Sony have good customer support? This seems like a case to call support.
@Rosemary nah they're available, I just have to download the addons manually through a somewhat non-intuitive set of actions. because of course when you download and install the season pass it doesn't... actually install anything but the first episode..
...because either Sony and/or squeenix are great like that =_=;
uuugghh found the answer, it didn't actually download the other episodes. I DO have them, I do own them, they are purchased, effectively, it just...
decided that when it downloaded the game, it didn't download the other dlc parts either. even when it checked for them.
and I have to come out of the game, go to the game page in the PS4 menu, go to add ons, and then... tell it separately to download each of the addons. which will take... about an hour or so. fuuuuck
