Ok, seriously, what is the appeal? I just played through the first episode, and the entire thing was just a bunch of boring dumb shit. >Oh this guy is RICH and a JERK >Oh this girl is HIPSTER and a STONER >Oh and other girl is MEAN and POPULAR >Main girl is SHY and RESERVED I mean, do people actually like this? I have never once wondered what the lives of rich hipsters who go to art school entail, and I don't want to know. The superpower thing is gay as well, and I'm guessing it's never explained. This is like some dumb netflix original that 15-25 year old girls would dig, but instead most of the fanbase is actually men? I don't want to let the glitches that I came across change my opinion (like how the very end sequence that was definitely supposed to be the dramatic height of the episode had no voice audio for some reason, replaced by the third stupid hipster song of the episode) so instead, I'll just say that the gameplay as a whole is terrible. In fact, I see no reason to pay for the other episodes when I could get the SAME experience from just watching someone's no commentary let's play on youtube. I had two reasons for playing this: >The high praise it receives everytime it's mentioned >It takes place in the Cascadia Region, which is where I'd love to live, if it isn't as full of hipsters as every piece of media that takes place there makes it seem
tldr: Life is Strange is pretty unimpressive so far. I want to finish it out (probably just watch it on youtube) just so I can be completely thorough in my case and hate it fairly.
The only way I got thru it was me and a friend played it. We pretended that hr power was like Chris-Chans curse hami ha or whatever
Xavier Murphy
Seems like the only way to make it entertaining honestly. Too bad I don't have friends though.
Chase Sanders
Honestly I only got about an hour or two in before I dropped it. I also wasn't invested in the plot at all and, as someone who absolutely loves choose your own adventure type games, I found this an absolute insult to the genre because of the whole 'turn back time so you don't have to face the consequences of your own decisions' superpower. Where's the fun if you can go back any time and redo any decision? Besides which, it becomes very repetitive very quickly.
If any of you lot are fellow choose your own adventure fans, I highly recommend the text based games available on the Choice of Games site. Any of them will probably be ten times better than this trite, but I personally recommend either the Midsummer's Night Dream pisstake or Fool.
Anthony Campbell
the story gets interesting later and the twist at the end is really good. it's a shame there is no actual gameplay.
Michael Phillips
life is cringe and full of rule 34
James Mitchell
I liked the lesbian romance and kate marsh is my waifu
Wait a second, is this just considered good by a mass of redditors leaving positive reviews? I thought I'd face some opposition, but everyone seems to agree.
Evan Lewis
Yeah it sucks for the most part, just a slightly worse than average telltale game with annoying characters, theres a youtuber called E;R with a good video on how stupid it is
Jordan Smith
Like many things that are shit but overrated, it's because of fucking loser waifu fags. They like the girls so the game is good or so they say.
This character has got to have the dumbest fucking hair in all video games. It looks so fucking stupid both in game and cosplay attempts.
Michael Bennett
I thought the christian girl was kinda qt. But then again, it's probably because I still pretend that quiet girls aren't sluts.
Noah Adams
Whether the girls are cute or not has no bearing on the quality of the game. The game is shit, but it gets bigged up as being good by guys who like the girls. Because they like the girls, they have to push the game as being good. Or, that it is good because of cute girls.
Kayden Hall
I always assumed the game was being hyped so much because it had female leads and a lesbian relationship. Essentially making it the video game equivalent of diversity hires.
Josiah Roberts
It's for trannies to get to live their life as a cute high school girl and for tumblr lesbians to masturbate to the love story. The plot is just Donnie Darko with more school drama and a spooky psycho rapist that doesn't actually rape anybody because that would be too triggering to their target audience.
Blake Russell
Idk Warm Bodies takes place there and is a pretty good book
Asher Cruz
Is Donnie Darko worth watching? I think it's on netflix.
Christian Bell
The game was mildly interesting as a premise and I kept hoping it would get better. Instead it did the opposite. I only finished it cause a friend HIGHLY recommended it I still think Kate is cute, wish she was in a better game
Brandon Morales
I tried so hard to like this awful shit, cause I like the setting of the game as well. But holy fuck, I found myself cringing at all of it so early on. >hipster "so deep" music that weedniggers listen to >everyone is an art student >you play as a girl, which only appeals to girls and trannies
Matthew Stewart
>I mean, do people actually like this? Yes
Samuel Lopez
Dilate, tranny. Playing as a girl in a game won't make you one.
Brandon Jenkins
Just fun and comfy. Is it so wrong to want a story about dykes with a superpower they use selfishly rather than to save the world? For me it's just TV with a little interactivity. MAXIMUM COMF
Jeremiah Robinson
Loling at trannies going around calling everyone a tranny and getting mad so they can then claim persecution. No one cares about your dick
Kayden Morales
No it's overrated 2deep4u trash. You know the sort of edgy anime you watched when you were 14? Yeah Darko is the American high school movie equivalent. It's acceptable to watch it and adore it when you're an edgy teen, and then you grow up
Carter Taylor
I love E;R but he's a tard when it comes to LiS. I think maybe just because it's associated with Tumblr. He literally said Max is a Mary Sue because she has magic time rewinding powers that prevent her from dealing with consequences when literally the climax of the story is how she deals with the consequences of all her time-fuckery
Benjamin Bennett
I played the original a few years back and it was ok, but I could barely finish the first episode of Before the Storm. How was I able to tolerate this before?
It's a dumb SJW game, it's basically tumblr/reddit/neogaf/EVERY SITE EVER.
Camden Lopez
There's 0 politics in it at all though other than Chloe being bi. As much as people joke about Max being a dyke, the only scene even close to that was Chloe saying Max is too pussy to kiss her and Max giving her a peck on the lips. This isn't TV, they don't have to run these decisions past a board. If they wanted to go super far left with it they could have
Kayden Roberts
>mental retardation the post grow up moron
Ryder Thomas
It's really bad and the only people who like it are legitimately retarded. On the bright side there's some decent SFM because of it.
Chase Jones
I wanted to like it so bad. I need something comfy right now. Anyone recommend any comfy games?
Christian Clark
I liked building orc armies in shadow of war. They removed all the micro transactions from the game which is a pretty respectable move
This. It was a fun game to immerse in for a bit and the later episodes ramping up was dramatic and interesting. Aside from the last episode, that was shit. But I think it's free right now on steam so you don't have an excuse to not try it out.
James Jenkins
I played it because I heard it had an immersive story, and I really like time travel stuff Also, I want to creampie Max Didn't like the game in the end
>Also, I want to creampie Max The girls being qt is literally the only decent part about the game, and the only reason I might watch youtube no commentary playthroughs of the other episodes.
Hunter Collins
I have a feeling that it's gonna be one of those things that you kinda hate at first, and then end up coming back to in a week cause of its comfy atmosphere.
