Life is Strange - What do you think of it?

[Guts Gets Some]

A female friend of mine wanted me to watch a playthrough of it (fair, since I always want her to do the same thing on my stuff) and I watched about half of the first game before I got bored.

I noticed right away a very keen insistence of the main character, stating over and over how "I just turned 18", which didn't feel natural at all. Both in reason and the fact she looked like a 13 year old loli at the oldest.

Then my friend told me that is exactly the case. It was a change or censor in the western version to make everyone over 18, given the sexual and whatever-else content.

Eh, it was ambitious, I guess. But it's definitely a type of game I have no interest to play. Girls freaking obsess over it though. And gays too, I guess.

I enjoyed the first game a lot more than I expected to when it came out, forgot they did a spin-off (supposedly it bombed sales wise), and have no interest in the new one with Mexican kids. The "lol cringe" dialog didn't bother me as much as it did seemingly everyone else, but it seems like they had a handful of ideas and no real plan on how to make any of them fun.

The Tumblr aesthetic was actually sort of charming to me, but aesthetic only gets you so far.

Come watch a Canadian asylum escapee drink himself to death playing this garbage.

played lis 2 finally. wasnt too bad tbh, though there was some certainly hamfisted politics that were as subtle as getting hit in the back of the head with a brick. i can tell this'll age as well as a fine wine in the future, obviously

Better ageing than 1 or worse?

well any references to donald trump or CURRENT(2016)YEAR will make sure that it acts as a product of it's time
seriously, theres a line that goes "this is why we should build that wall" in it or something along those lines so this'll age well in 2-6 years and by that i mean not really, but at least they arent using hella so that's an improvement

Only played the first one. It's mediocre at best, cringeworthy at worst. From a game that has overwhelmingly positive reviews on Steam I expected a Shakespearean epic, not a high school lifetime movie.

I just played Life Is Strange 2:

Spoiler: SPOILERS

It was funny for all the wrong reason. I kept on forgetting the kids were Mexican then they shoved in your face when that happens. When I played it some redneck kidnapped the kids for being Mexican because I didn't steal anything in the game. After you escape some pedo neckbeard blogger SJW saves them. I meet him earlier in the story looking at nudes at the gas station.

S2 Episode 2 is out now

 

[Quijibo69]

It's on Game Pass, so it will give me something to laugh at for a few hour today.

Life is strange isn't hella good. but it has a hella good part where you can make someone fall to their death multiple times

 

[Deadwaste]

i will say that season 2 is at least a little better than 1. doesnt have as much cringey dialogue

 

[Nick Gars]

Personally I can't stand "story based" or "episodic" ""games"". I play vidjya to play a GAME, not watch a shitty visual novel being touted as a game. This "game" was free on ps+ a while back, I can't finish it even when playing for the lulz, it's fucking awful.

 

[CausticMinory]

So will this season end with them in Mexico paying for the wall?

Spoiler

And it looks likes the choices in Captain Spirit amounted to one episode, and a kid who's dad is still a drunk who will emotionally abuse his autistic son after the Mexican kids left. Life Is Sad.

Played the first two chapters of Before The Storm. It's pretty fucking bad, I mean bad. The newer one is way easier to make fun of than this one was. Before The Storm is like watching a Twilight movie. I hope I can play the last two chapters without throwing my controller at the tv.

Spoiler: Lesbian crows

From the same community that hate-gifts each other Bad Rats and writes joke reviews that horseshoe from sarcasm & satire all the way around into praise for shit?

 

[Quijibo69]

I played the last chapter of Before The Storm and the story was really autistic. I didn't know what the fuck was going on at the end nor did I care.
