Well you know how you think the writing is bad? I think it's good. It's as simple as that. But to elaborate, the way the story unfolds in intriguing, and the events are compelling. They did a great job at portraying Chloe as a real flawed character. Most retards think the game wants you to care about her. But the reality is, the game purposely exposed a bunch of unlikable traits from the very beginning. But they mixed them with a certain attitude that some people find attractive. So, like any real person, some like her, and some don't. But regardless of if you like her or not, she still elicits an emotional response out of the player. Because you're either angry that she isn't a better person. Or you pity her for her shitty life.

I would disagree with him, but I'm already in the middle of a disagreement, and he's not saying anything new. "Laughable writing"? Half of the shit people laugh about in the game, was intentionally absurd. But they don't recognize it. This game is inspired by Twin Peaks, and a lot of shit they characters say are meant to be a little off, or outlandish, or wacky.

Honestly, I don't think it should be done in live action. It should just be done Tintin style, with the game's VAs. They also need to rewrite it, keeping only the characters, setting, atmosphere, tone, and Rachel Amber mystery intact. Almost everything else should be scrapped. Max should still have a supernatural power, but it shouldn't be time travel; that works best in a game format, not a TV show format. All of the attempts at explaining things scientifically should be scrapped, and the ending (and all the themes of the story) needs to be entirely redesigned.

That "attitude" is, like I said, generic whiney teenage angst. It doesn't work. She isn't a good character.
Honestly, I wanted to like the game. I didn't go in hating it. But how can you honestly say that the writing is good when the characters say shit like "Going beast", "Check out the Max! Come to thrash?", "Totally bogus", the list goes on. It's ridiculous. That's not how teens in the pacific northwest who go to a highschool of art act. You know how I know? Because I was one of those teens when this game came out.

I think the game had a lot of potential that was squandered, and I wish I had liked the game.

Unfortunately, I have good taste.

>>84440113
It's the only game I've ever played that seemed to broach the entertainment/art divide which has been left behind in every other medium.

Not quite, that would be The Last of Us. I love Life is Strange to death, but it has a lot of flaws. Scenes are often structured in very awkward ways, there's no overriding themes or ideas, there's no clear point to a lot of the things that happen (like Kate's suicide). It's good and I've been more than a little obsessed for the last year, but objectively, it's just an 8/10.

I'm still not following. How did Mr Jefferson's rape and murderous behavior depend on her misusing her power? Or Kate jumping off the roof? Or Chloe almost dying 4 times? It would seem to me that her powers help fixed all those problems. Not cause them.

>"I am a psychopathic serial killer but also a passionate art teacher and my purpose in life is to perfectly capture lost innocence by kidnapping girls and drugging them so that there is literally no emotion in their face and no loss of innocence is portrayed"
I still don't see how that's laughable. I mean, in real life, people do fucked up shit for worse reason. For example, I just watched that documentary about pedophilia in Hollywood. Basically they were friendly charming managers by day, and pedos by night. Charismatically tricking parents to leave them their children. All because they were horny.

In Jefferson's case, it makes perfect sense that he would target a place where everyone is so hopeful. Because then he would have subjects for his photos. And the drugs were to get the girls to remove whatever vanity they had, so he can picture them in their raw emotional state. They weren't always completely out of their sense. But just hazy enough, that they couldn't quite recognize the camera. Leaving them completely candid.

>>84440573
Not really. What kind of school did you go to?

>>84440542
Not the guy you're responding to, but there are two aspects to the writing. There's the dialogue and there's the structure. The actual dialogue is definitely awkward - though it pretty dramatically improves in episodes 3 and especially 4. The structure, on the other hand, is pretty alright. Every scene has a clear point - a definite plot or character destination it's reaching for.
Strongly disagree on Chloe being a bad character. She's absolutely a whiny angsty teenager, and I'm not going to argue that the game ever tries to justify her being a whiny angsty teenager - rather, it just wants you to understand why she's that way. The alternate timeline in episodes 3/4 really drives home why she is the way she is. She's a strong character because the writers knew exactly why they wrote her the way they did - what her background and motivations for acting that way are - and they very effectively communicate those things as you learn more about her (and especially in the alternate timeline).

Yes, this is moronic writing. There are dozens of ways he could satiate this desire without compromising himself. If you want candid pictures, it's best not to directly involve yourself. If you want a loss of innocence, you are at a college where that happens daily all around you.

>>84440811
You know, I actually did think the alternate timeline bit was interesting, what with her being paralyzed and all.

I'll rescind what I said about Chloe. Yeah, she's not a terrible character in that she has a character arc and a motivation, but that doesn't change that she's incredibly generic and unlikable.

And to what you said about the two aspects of writing - yes, all the scenes have a "point", and a good structure. That doesn't change that what the characters are saying consistently come across as awkward, unrealistic, and exaggerated.

And that's the key to this. This game's writing is so on the nose and lacks any subtlety, so the idea that someone would think that including this game in a curriculum of any kind blows me away.

>>84440861
>I'll also just point out that words like "hella" are actually common slang on the west coast.
You're hella wrong. Just because the french 30 year olds who wrote the dialogue happened to use the same lingo as you, does not mean that a prudish pretentious hipster would use a word like "hella"

>>84440542
>They did a great job at writing Chloe as a generic "rebel" against her poorly written stepdad who's motivation for being a shit head is just being overly paranoid.
Well for 1. Chloe turned rebellious before her step dad. Joyce tells you this outright in Episode 2. Her being against her stepdad isn't her only trait. But her rebellious traits are indeed pretty cliche. Which is intentionally done. They wanted to portray Chloe as someone who falls into all the trappings that a teenage girl with limited experience would. They even call out this fact in the game. When Joyce lists all of Chloe's phases, she makes the point that it's not a surprise. When Franks comments on them playing with guns, he makes the point that he used to do that too. When Jefferson is reminded of Chloe, he calls her a faux-punk slut.

So you see, Chloe wasn't meant to be cool. She was meant to be a dumb teenager, rebelling in a dumb way. And yet, despite this, people still find her rebellious persona to be attractive. Maybe not *you*, but it indeed works for other players. Just because you find a character annoying, that doesn't mean she's a poorly written character. You're not supposed to like every character on the screen.

>But how can you honestly say that the writing is good when the characters say shit like "Going beast"
I don't remember going beast. Do you mean when Warren says "Let's go Ape?". Are you really shitting on a nerd character for making a dumb pun regarding Planet of the Apes?

>"Check out the Max! Come to thrash?"
Stereotypical skater is stereotypical. He's so far off the mark, you have to assume he's a bit of an ironic character. They probably like that 90s skater trope, and incorporated that for fun. In fact, I believe half of the stupid shit characters say were sprinkled in there for fun.

The idea that characters should talk exactly how 2013 kids talked with 100% accuracy is not only unrealistic to expect, but really fucking boring.

Teens in TV shows are usually pulled from soap operas or modelling. In other words, fairly fresh faces and unknowns.

It would be easier to cast the adult characters.

>>84441183
Except everyone talks like that. Maybe to a lesser extent, but they don't talk in a realistic way. Not just in their vocabulary, but in how they interact with each other as well.

What's "really fucking boring" is when characters talk in fake teen slang. What's boring is a predictable plot. What isn't boring is an interesting plot with interesting characters who speak in a realistic way. This game is "hella" not that.

Dude, the more you talk about Max's powers being used illogically, the less sense you make. You're going to need to use more words to actually explain what the fuck you mean.

>That would have been a believable motive for Jefferson; but as the game was designed for 14 year old girls, they had to obviously skirt around that topic.
No they didn't. In episode 1, Stella tells you that there are rumors that Jefferson and Rachel Amber were fucking. Stella also says she's interested in Jefferson. And Jefferson claims that Rachel Amber loved him. You can put the pieces together. That Jefferson was fucking at least one student, if not more.

>Yes, this is moronic writing.
First off, illogical motives aren't necessarily bad writing. Because you're dealing with psychopaths. And if psychopaths were thinking completely reasonably, then they wouldn't be psychopaths.
Second, When you try to capture someone's image out and about, they're always putting on a face for someone or something. Either they're self conscious, or thinking, or feeling a certain mood. But taking them away, and removing their environment, and dissolving their ego, you're able to get their pure image.

>>84441439

The plot is interesting. And "realistic" dialog is boring. Maybe you're just upset that they didn't represent your region in an ideal light? As for "hella" that word gets mixed acceptance. Some north west folk say it's common, other north west folk say it isn't.

His character did a complete 180. He started monologuing like a supervillain, and there were little to know actual plot hints that he would end up the way he did. The twist was unearned. He's a bad antagonist.

>>84441755
I guess you can enjoy shitty fake dialogue, but don't act like that superior to well written realistic dialogue in an interesting plot. It's not.

And sure, maybe them representing my region and the way people speak in it as completely retarded turned me off from the game. I'll freely admit that.

I mean, that Victoria character with the whole "Mean Girl" schtick...

It's a game full of caricatures. I can't enjoy that.

>>84440592
That's what made it so depressing. I was so close to saving her, but I didn't realize how one of the Bible verses actually applied to the situation until it was too late.

>>84441795
>there were little to know actual plot hints that he would end up the way he did
One of the first lines he says in the game is "I could frame any one of you in a dark corner, and capture you in a moment of desperation". There are various hints across the rest of the game that come out in hindsight, like if you mention Rachel amber to him in the hallway he gets quite serious and demands what Rachel has to do with Kate.
It seemed obvious to me when I first played that he was involved somehow, though him being the main villain was admittedly unexpected.

>>84441795
>This is such a cop out.
It's really not. There is zero reason to kidnap and drug girls. There's nothing you can say that can justify this. But saying he cared about the artistry of it all is at least something.

>His character did a complete 180. He started monologuing like a supervillain
He begins the game with a monologue. In episode 5, Max talks in retropect, saying how all Jefferson liked to do was talk, and he wasn't a real teacher.
In episode 2, Jefferson tries to extract information about David from Max. Later, when you're in the principal's office, if you blame Jefferson, he'll try to shift blame to David.
Jefferson will also say that perhaps Kate brought the bullying on herself. Subtly exposing his callousness.

>>84441903
The cliche that is Victoria basically gets subverted by the end (if you choose to be nice to her).

>>84441903
When I see posts like this I'm left baffled as to what people are holding up as better examples.
Barring Firewatch, I don't think I could name a game if my life depended on it with even half the narrative or emotional poignancy of Life is Strange, yet people act like it's a dime-a-dozen paperback.
Where are these games with sophisticated Jocyean scripting and Wildean dialogue? Because it seems suspiciously like they don't exist.

>>84441903
"Realistic" dialog is not inherently better.

>It's a game full of caricatures.
I can agree to that much. But I don't think caricatures are inherently bad either.
All the problems you insist are flaws of the game, are beginning to sound more like a distaste of a style.

>>84442226
Well for 1, Max is the passive type, so she doesn't want to get confrontational, even if she could rewind. She doesn't gain that confidence until later.
2. Even if Max reverses time, her own physical state remains the same. Hence why she keeps objects on her person, and she doesn't lose her food. And at the start of episode 2, she thinks about using her powers to get more sleep. So... let's assume she does dare to walk over or around Victoria. Who is to say that it won't turn into a physical confrontation? She might get injured, and time travel won't fix that.
3. You can try the sprinklers first, which actually seems like a logical solution, but it's not enough to get Victoria to move completely. Which is why she must go for the paint.

Any other situations you had a problem with?

You're avoiding the point. I'm saying that: accounting for every single situation like that in the game, the overall use of her powers is "wasted/bad/idon'tlikeit".

They went, "I like this idea for the story" and then made a bunch of shitty puzzles to make it a "game".
Since you like the game so much, and I'm being sincere here, can you give me an example of a "clever/well written/unique" application of Max's power for solving a puzzle?

Akin to your #2, I liked how Max stayed drugged but still tried going back in time. But that isn't a puzzle.

>>84442595
>sabotages a laborer, possibly risking his job
That's not confrontational. That's weaselly. Underhanded even. But not confrontational.

>You're avoiding the point.
I'm not. I'm just not going to explain how every situation makes sense. It's easier if you point out what doesn't make sense, and then I can explain why you're mistaken.

>the overall use of her powers is "wasted/bad/idon'tlikeit"
I get the sense that all the situations are actually "I don't like it" with you.

>can you give me an example of a "clever/well written/unique" application of Max's power for solving a puzzle?
Well, in terms of *gameplay*, Max's powers are only used pretty shallowly, and I wish they did more with them. But I'm only arguing in terms of story, and the logic behind the use of her powers. All the occasions she needed to use her powers, are decently supported by the context of the situation.

You guys arguing over whether her powers were logical are missing the point. The entire game is her dealing with the death of her friend. It's all in her head. Her powers being logical doesn't matter because she never had any powers. The choice at the end to save the town is really accepting her death and the choice to save her is really not accepting it. That's why the saving the town ending is more fleshed out and has a happier tone at the end. They wanted you to choose that ending. It was all about acceptance.

>>84442970

The game is poorly written because none of the written gameplay situations are warranting of it being a game. If it were well written, the gameplay interaction would be relevant to the story, and the story would reflect the gameplay ability.
>Max gets a nosebleed whenever there is a distinct gameplay/story disconnect,
And despite whatever you say, a person with superpowers getting a bloody nose when their power is failing is BAD WRITING.
None of Max's detective work is dependent on her amazing abilities, her amazing abilities just get shallowly used when her standard detective work hits a complication.
Also, you moved the goalpost

>>84442973
Her powers aren't literally "in her head," but you are correct that her powers aren't relevant and that most people miss the point of the game and the endings. It's about acceptance that we can't change the past and that we have to live with our choices. It's a metaphorical, allegorical story, not a legitimate "realistic" narrative.

It's like if I tell someone the story of the boy who cried wolf and they respond "Well why didn't the boy just take a photo of the wolf so everyone knows he isn't lying?" It's missing the point of the allegory.

So they deliberately lied to their audience to increase the impact of the story?

>>84443429
Jumping to the 'gameplay determinism' crutch severely undermines your argument.
The assertion isn't even self-consistent. On the grand scheme of so-called walking simulators, Life is Strange is on the low end. The interaction of traditional 'gameplay' and simple avatar maneuvering is about the same as one finds in a horror game (read: game built around a certain aspect of its atmosphere rather than Tetris-esque puzzling).

>>84443603
It's an adventure game without item interaction.

I'm honestly struggling to understand what you mean about the gameplay situations not being warranted.

Cliches aren't inherently bad. Sometimes ideas become cliche, because they're so good, that it would be stupid not to use it.

Wrong. Every thing she ever obtained was gotten by the necessity to reverse time.

That's an obvious flaw in logic. Bloody nose is a lazy cliche, especially in a format where the main character is constantly monologuing. Max could actually explain what she is going through instead of using a cliche to avoid writing an explanation.
>Wrong. Every thing she ever obtained was gotten by the necessity to reverse time.
But were her plans dependent on time travel? Once again, being sincere. I don't remember.
Like, did she ever PLAN to use her powers or was it always "oh yeah this should work" at convenient times.

I can't change an opinion that is predicated on the dislike of a *style* of story telling. I can't get you to appreciate an aesthetic, when everything that I think makes it good, you think makes it shit.

> Bloody nose is a lazy cliche,
Why? Because you say so?

>Max could actually explain what she is going through instead of using a cliche to avoid writing an explanation.
Show don't tell. Why would Max monologue how shitty she feels? Especially since the effects of her using her powers come on suddenly? You think it would be better if it was a dull sensation that she could talk about? That sounds dumb to me.

>But were her plans dependent on time travel?
She needed to get into David's computer. it would lock her out, if she tried too many wrong passwords. So she needed her rewind to hack the password.
She needed to get into the principal's office, without setting off the alarm, so she "teleported", after blowing the lock off.
She needed to get Frank's keys, but Frank would get pissed if she said the wrong thing, and stop engaging her. And it was impossible to find the right thing to say, without talking to the other characters. She needed the rewind to keep his attention, and use information she learned from one character on another.

I could probably list more. But that's 3 for you.

>>84444167
Great. One less anon wanting to bother me with their opinions.

>>84443431

I think it's definitely up for interpretation. It can work either way whether everything after the first bathroom scene actually happened or if it's all just a representation of her path to acceptance. You just have to accept a whole bunch of unbelievable things in order to think it all happened. Like the school teacher is really a creepy serial killer just getting away with it until Max and Chloe are on the case. Or since Chloe is shot by Nathan, he is of course crazy and evil, with evil parents that own the school and principal. It fits that this is just her fantasy. Like her dreaming and compiling all the info in her head. Her power is simply what she wishes she could do. Which is also why she obviously doesn't have her power anymore in the save the town ending, when she's found acceptance. I don't think any time travel actually happened. But like I said, it's totally up to personal interpretation

What did they mean by this?

>>84443429
I think you're sort of missing the point of visual novel-type games. The "game" allows you to interact with the environment and shape the story (in a limited way) as a means of getting you emotionally invested in the story. It makes you feel like you're actually part of what's happening. Pretty basic storytelling ideas desu.

>>84444273
What did you dislike about it?

>>84444649
They meant that Chloe is immature and careless. This is taken from episode 1. Over the course of the game, we the audience (and Chloe) find out that, oh yeah, guns are pretty damn dangerous.
tl;dr it's this little thing called character development. Moron.

>>84444782
>oh yeah, guns are pretty damn dangerous.
kek no they really aren't, it's just that the characters using them are fucking stupid

>>84444820
Humans are fucking stupid in general. Lest this devolve into a pointless gun control argument, I'll just leave it at this: countries with gun control have lower gun violence and homicide rates. More often than not, guns are used in offense rather than defense. Humans are idiotic and assuming that people can, in general, handle owning guns without using them for unjustified violence is naive.

>>84444820

>>84444948
>what are hunting rifles

>>84444933
Developed countries that are modern and stable can have effective gun control, but there are very shitty countries that have gun control and it makes the situation worse.

Episode 5 is trash and if you try to argue with the game logic it makes you retard.

Sure, and in developing countries, it's probably best that people are allowed to have guns. Not in developed countries, though.
>What are hunting rifles?
What are literally every other type of gun?

>>84444494
>Why? Because you say so?
A bloody nose usually indicates that the power is slowly destroying the brain of the person. (never becomes an issue for Max, just prevents the player from acting at specific times)
Why would Max monologue any of her inane bullshit? It seems like she would have something to say about her brain melting

>that's 3 for you.
All three of those examples are her NOT planning to use her powers.
The simplicity of the computer one works, as it was one of the first puzzles in the game.
There are dozens of clever ways to get into the principals office without breaking into the school at night.
However with the RV, the logical choice was to "teleport" after blowing the lock off.

And this ties into the bloody nose and the poor implementation of the time mechanic; the entire game is filled with "But why didn't ___ just ___", which could have been avoided if the quality of writing was important to DONTNOD.

>it makes you a retard
It actually does. It's a game about characters and their relationships and emotions, not about some intricate plot. If we were talking about something like, say, Primer, then arguing about the logic wouldn't make you a retard, because Primer is fundamentally about the complexity of the plot. That's not what Life is Strange is about. Arguing about the logic of the game is - and I mean this as a descriptor, not an insult - autistic.

>A bloody nose usually indicates that the power is slowly destroying the brain of the person. (never becomes an issue for Max, just prevents the player from acting at specific times)
Are you kidding? Aside from Kate's situation, Max's nosebleed never prevented the player from acting. And in that instance, it wasn't necessarily the stress on her brain that stopped her powers. But rather, it was the fact that she just stopped time. She "used up" here powers in that moment. And the nosebleed was just the byproduct of that fact.

In all other instances, her nosebleed is used in between gameplay segments. And it all culminated in the end, where Max goes on that trippy dream sequence. That was the scramble of her brain, as a result of the use of her powers.

>Why would Max monologue any of her inane bullshit?
She typically reacts to what she feels and sees. But as for the matter of her brain, how could max articulate the severity of her headaches? And if she did monologue about it her brain melting, then why wouldn't she also show the pain physically? If you want to hear some words about her head hurting, you can always look at her journal.

>All three of those examples are her NOT planning to use her powers.
Ok... Goal post moving again. now she needs to specifically plan to use her powers? It's not good enough that her powers were the deciding factor in her success?

>There are dozens of clever ways to get into the principals office without breaking into the school at night.
OK, we're running into a similar fallacy as before. Just like you falsely asserted that Jefferson's motives needed to be logically sound despite being a psychopath, you're now asserting that Max's actions need to clever, despite all the factors that work against that notion.
Like, why would Max try to get into the principal's office any sooner than that point? And why would she attempt to get into the office any later than that point?

>However with the RV, the logical choice was to "teleport" after blowing the lock off.
And how would they have done that. It was still morning, and they impulsively went to check out Frank's RV. They didn't have bomb supplies. And besides, it was a good excuse to get to interact with Frank and Nathan some more. Also, that was a time Max DID plan to use her powers on Frank, prior to acting.

>the entire game is filled with "But why didn't ___ just ___"
No, this is typical know-it-all thinking. You think you have all the solutions. And you think that everyone else should be acting 100% rationally at all times. Except that's impossible in any good story. If you want complete technical cohesion, then read a math book.

does anyone else NOT play video games or have any had no idea what this thread was about? I fucking swear I you goddamn kids and your video games. I mean I was a kid too and played them don't get me wrong. skullmonkeys, street fighter ex 2 plus alpha, super mario bro 3. good stuff. but there comes a time in a man's life when it's time to move on to superior media formats are aren't for children. even animation is above video games.

I have to assume this is part of the reason for the bizarre divergence on LiS: STEMfags see it praised, play it, and can't reconcile something that uses science-fiction ideas for a unrelated purpose.
Though it doesn't explain why nobody can ever answer >>84442089 in the many times I've seen this conversation go down

>>84445855
This is Life is Strange, which is halfway between a game and a film. You make decisions throughout the course of the game which impact what happens (i.e. it's a bit like choose your own adventure books). Being able to shape the story and interact with it increases immersion, helps you identify with the characters and what's happening, etc. It's a great form of storytelling. End of post.

Why bother making a show? The game is essentially already a movie, with some puzzles and scavanger hunts mixed in. The show wouldn't even have the choice aspect.

I don't know how to answer that question. But Mother 3 was a game that hit me hard emotionally. I would put that above LiS in terms of poignancy.

If you've managed to walk past her, you don't need to reverse time to prevent her stopping you because she didn't fucking stop you anyway, which is why you were able to walk past.

But that's dumb. That's not up for personal interpretation - Jefferson gets arrested in the ending where Max saves the town because Nathan confesses. That's in the final scenes. So Jefferson really was a serial killer.
