Opinions on Life is Strange?

SJW visual novel non-game

It's a fun game like an 8

it's hella awesome

>>383361589
Pretty good. Looking forward to the prequel.

>>383361589
it's making it impossible for white and black people to get together and make babies

this game is absolutely divisive

>>383361589
Awful game full of plot holes which fails to deliver meaningful player choices or interesting puzzles.

No better than a bad Walking Dead game but I WANT TO FUCK MY WAIFU SOLID 8/10

it's worthless unless you're emotional like a 16 yo girl

first episode is free if you want to try

really great game from my opinion but they shouldn´t do a fucking second game just because the people like it -.-
why cant dontnod just make something new, they certainly have the skills to make a good and emotional storys, but somehow I´ve the feeling that Life is strange 2 will fail

>>383362210

They are and it looks fun.

>>383361589
I enjoyed it while it was coming out but no one should play it now that it's revealed that there are 2 definitive endings and no choice except those matter in the end. 7/10

>>383362292
what?

>>383361832
Remember Me was pretty and the changing battle music was alright, but the combat was threadbare and relied on "I win" powers with broken button combos, and every other element was a non-element.

Not to mention the cutscenes and boring walking sections are unskippable and all the unlockable flavour text was fucking terrible.

>>383362308
Nope, there's definitely other stuff that matters like Kate.

>>383362027
Not the one you responded to.

I've played it. It's pretty damn tumblr trash. They tried to make the conservative seem unreasonably paranoid even though he's right. Girls have apparently been raped, drugged, and have gone missing on compass and even after it's revealed who is the cause of it they try and make him look bad for wanting cameras. It's dumb and stupid. Also, they clearly tried to make anybody calling people derogatory terms look bad by making the bully say all those mean conservative terms but they're being said by a mentally ill and violent autist who apparently is also a murderer. Pretty damn sjw if you ask me.

>>383364973
prequel is a bait n switch. episode 2 will end with 'sacrifice chloe' max trying to kill past chloe, but be stopped by 'sacrifice arcadia bay' max and future chloe

>>383366451
Fuck off. Im as conservative as it gets and i loved this game.
The entire point was that in the end, all the liberal characters turned out to be the bad guys (jefferson) while all the conservative turned out to be cool, just mostly misunderstood by most people. (frank, david etc.)

If anything, this game was anti SJW by making conservative characters seem bad at first and then making a complete 180 while making all the libs look dumb as hell

>>383366451
the whole driving force of the game is people acting like assholes to each other because they've jumped to conclusions and consider themself the hero of their own story, including max
even nathan, the mentally ill and violent autist, legitimately needed someone help him and things with him only turned out the way they did because his father refused to stop treating him like crap despite it making his mental health worse, and an intelligent, sociopathic charmster was taking advantage of his mental illness to enable his own criminal activities.

>>383366859
>I loved this game
Okay, politics aside, you're a shitter. This game is plane trash. It's as bad as other nongame titles like Telltale games. The characters are all unlikable and the ending was a non choice. If the game would be better served as a movie or tv show they why bother making it into a game? And that's where Life is Strange is at. Mechanically it's a horrible game. The models are bad. The 'artistic style' just looks like really poor texturing. Mouth animations are god awful.The dialogue is awful and being realistic isn't an excuse.

>>383367216
Call it an interactive movie or whatever, i still enjoyed it. Most characters were likeable enough to get me emotionally invested in the story and that's what ultimately matters in this type of game.

>I'LL REMEMBER THIS CONVERSATION

>>383367546
Well then just admit it's a bad game. It's a okay MOVIE but it's not a good game. Personally, I don't see how anybody could actually enjoy these 'games' when the gameplay is utter garbage in another story led game, the like of people who don't even play games love to play.

Well there's your problem. You're autistic. You might not know this, but different people have different tastes.

>>383367761
You're literally getting butthurt over semantics. It's on a game console, so people call it a fucking game. Jesus. what a weird thing to get upset over.

>>383368216
Okay, well using that argument I guess I could also say Sonic 06 is a game others enjoy as well. I guess I should stop calling it shit too? Besides just those problems I have with it there are plenty of bugs I encountered just playing it a week ago that are downright inescusable in this day and age. I had characters disappear. There have been parts in dialogue where people's mouths stop moving even if they're clearly speaking. And even if there aren't bugs and shitty gameplay the way people are written is completely bizarre and unrealistic. I can't believe of a single liberal high school student would be happily snapping pictures during a storm that was clearly dangerous with a dead man lying just a few feet away. You don't really have an argument here. And all the 'really emotional scenes' where just so fucking try hard by putting hipster music over spots where they wanted you to feel emotions.

>>383361932
What plot holes, exactly? Also, meaningful choice or puzzles aside, the game has an incredible atmosphere and tells a super interesting story. That's good enough for most people, me included.

>>383368069
Shill alert

>>383368667
>what plotholes
Okay, answer why Max's powers created that storm, made an eclipse, and caused all the animals to die? The "chaos theory" bullshit was pretty vague and didn't really explain why it just happened. Also, won't this shit just happen again since Max will constantly know she has her powers thus making any choice she make in the future slightly altered? Having her powers is in itself changing the outcome of an equation. Also, why did she get her powers in the first place? And ultimately what was the point of the story? The reveal is that with Max messing around everything would have worked out pretty much alright only Chloe would be dead. It's dumb.

>>383368606
You missed the point. You can understand why people like something while still thinking it's bad. Being literally unable to understand why someone would like something like Life is Strange means you have literal (LITERAL) autism. Furthermore, I've never really heard people talking about bugs before, so I don't believe the game is as buggy as you're making it seem. If you really did have that experience, it was a fringe case. I also disagree with most of your criticisms.

>>383363038
Everything looks extremely poorly textured. But that's just artstyle? Sounds like a terrible excuse for bad texturing.

>>383368875
I'm not sure you understand what a plot hole is. Plot hole =/= not explaining something. I feel that not explaining the details of her powers worked very well, given that the game isn't really about the powers at all. It's about the characters.

It's not good.
The game not revealing where the powers came from doesn't matter at all, and all the tumblr shit is the least of the games problems. The writing is just fucking terrible 80% of the time and the plot in general was way too predictable (if you didn't call Jefferson being the bad guy after Episode 2 at the latest you have to be fucking retarded).
There's absolutely no consistency in what the time powers can and can't do, and the game goes out of its ways to put you into retarded positions that could be easily avoided by using the powers.
That being said, I liked the soundtrack and was actually rather impressed how consequences from choices were handled (some of them amounted to nothing, of course, but most of them were actually handled quite well).

>>383368884
>literal (LITERAL) autism
woah... I think I got btfo :^)

MAX A PERFECT

>>383368993
Okay, here's a REAL plot hole then. Max can, and has, stop time. She holds time long enough to go from the bottom of a building all the way to a roof so she can hold it for a while. WHY doesn't she ever use this part of her power again even if it would've definitely be much, much better in a given situation than just rewinding? Also, her changing the outcome of events is what caused the natural disaster. But her just having those powers and knowing she has those powers changes what she chooses to do in the future, so no matter what there will be another recurring natural disaster making her choice to sacrifice Chloe ultimately pointless.

>>383369007
The writing is just how high schoolers talk, so I'd say they did a great job. Also, literally nobody saw the Jefferson reveal coming. Guess you must be some kind of super genius or something.

Chloe is an abrasive cunt that drags the entire game down, and being voiced by Ashly Burch makes it even worse.
The game spends way too much time on timelines that we know are going to be rewritten. Should I save those people? Should I fix that marriage? Who gives a shit when everything I do here is going to get rewritten in five minutes?

>>383369223
>WHY doesn't she ever use this part of her power again
It seemed to take a huge toll on her while she was doing it. Her powers even gave out completely after. It's not like it was as easy as rewinding or anything, so she can't just do it all willy nilly. It could have been cool to have her do it a second time tho, I agree with that.

>her just having those powers and knowing she has those powers changes what she chooses to do in the future, so no matter what there will be another recurring natural disaster
I'm not really sure what you mean by this to be honest. My impression was that the act of rewinding is what caused all the weirdness, not just events being changed. If she doesn't have her powers anymore, why would any disasters happen again? Not that any of this even matters, since the powers were not even close to the main focus of the game.

>The writing is just how high schoolers talk, so I'd say they did a great job.
I'm not talking about the 'hella' shit. That didn't bother me at all. But take a look at the scene with Kate on the roof, everything she says sounds unnatural. Also you can't play the game without constantly thinking 'why don't they just ...', for example when they go to confront the drug dealer to get the list and it goes wrong on the first try (at least it did for me) and they end up shooting him. So, Chloe takes the list and fucking leaves. Why doesn't she give the list to Max with her time-proof inventory, turn back time, and just leave?
Why do I have to choose between taking a picture of the security guy harassing Kate and stepping in when I should be able to take a picture and turn back time and keep the picture?

>Also, literally nobody saw the Jefferson reveal coming. Guess you must be some kind of super genius or something.
Are you actually retarded? The way the game presents Nathan as the bad guy is too fucking obvious, so it can't be him (it's literally NEVER the one that would be the obvious bad guy in the beginning), so who else could it be? The drug dealer or the security guy? Too obvious, they're already basically bad guys. It's obviously not Chloe or Warren. So Jefferson is the only one of characters with more than a minor role left.

>>383369308
Yeah, they revisited it during the last episode, after the reveal, since his speech takes on a new meaning after knowing he's the killer. Without that information, it just seems like a normal ass art lecture.

>>383368875
There are a lot of strings that I feel LiS left hanging, including the origin of her powers.

However, the reality is that the things the game didn't delve into (like the Rachel stuff, the Prescotts, etc.) weren't actually all that important to the core story, which was that of Max and Chloe's relationship.

It's a little like trying to explain the Speed Force. There's no point, and how it works isn't actually that important based on the type of story you're telling.

>>383369223
>WHY doesn't she ever use this part of her power again even if it would've definitely be much, much better in a given situation than just rewinding?
It's not like she did that consciously. Stopping time like that isn't something Max knew she could do, and the game generally makes it clear it's not something she would know how to willfully do again. It was a spur of the moment, involuntary outburst of power.

And besides, it is apparent that using her powers to that extent could actually harm her.

>so no matter what there will be another recurring natural disaster making her choice to sacrifice Chloe ultimately pointless.
The entire point of the Save Chloe ending is to show defiance against this way of thought. If you agree with this line of thinking, you would just forget Chloe and save the bay.

>>383369609
>the act of rewinding is what caused all the weirdness
It can't be the case though because even in the alternate timeline in which Chloe gets potatoed the events are still happening. If it was just the use of her powers that caused the event the no matter what she changes the town will be destroyed since she has already committed the act of using her powers.

>It seemed to take a huge toll on her while she was doing it.
No, what took the tole on her was rewind time too much. Stopping time was ALL she could do implying that that part of her power takes the least amount of effort. So she should have been able to do it later when she wasn't completely wiped out.

>>383367216
I think they ran out of ideas on how to use the time travel mechanic for clever puzzles. That's the game's main flaw. There's only a few ways the game uses the mechanic to make something interesting, such as blowing up a door and sounding the alarm, then rewinding on the other side to unlock it without the alarm. Or digging for information and rewinding the conversations so you can manipulate them afterwards using that information.

First off, I really don't think it's as obvious as you make it seem. There were a few small hints, but they really only made sense after you already know he's the killer. The only way you could suspect him is like you said, by doing the flimsiest deductive reasoning of all time. All of that is a huge stretch at the very least. Also, why the hell would you even go so far to try to deduce the true killer? How do you enjoy any mystery if you do that?

>game starts off as hipster shit
>oh shit, time-rewinding power
>use it to gather gossip and do teenage shit as a pushover whimp

I quit after an hour. If a game takes more than that to become interesting, then it's shit.

Premise and story were decent.

Problems lies on the most insufferable characters to ever grace the vidya industry.

Yeah, but only if you're doing it within the bounds of the story. Deducing things based on the clues left for you is the fun part, not trying to get into the heads of the writers to that extent, where you're just guessing where they might decide to take the story based off of nothing.

You can obviously see the hints in hindsight, once you have the information that he is the killer, but it's not even close to obvious going in blind. If you picked up on it, congrats, but the vast majority didn't.

That's why I'm not arguing for any kind of hint-based approach.

Are you serious? It's just applying easy lessons that you learned from other books, shows and movies.
>it's not someone who'd be too obvious
>but it's someone who has at least a decent amount of screen time
Warren and Jefferson are the only ones that fit the profile, and nobody would've taken Warren as the killer serious.
>Also, why the hell would you even go so far to try to deduce the true killer?
Honestly, it just dawned on me in the middle of Episode 2. I wasn't actively trying to deduce the killer, it was just one of those moments where you go 'oh shit I bet he's the killer' and thinking about it a little nothing spoke against it.

>>383370226

Applying those lessons from other stories will never be anything more than the flimsiest of reasoning. Not every story follows tropes. Going into a story expecting it to is just nonsense. Also, suspend your disbelief a bit ffs. Just because you're autistic enough to try to find out the villain like that, doesn't mean everyone else is. Doing that just isn't fun, so why bother?

What's worse is that we ALREADY went back to Monday morning to rat out Mr Jefferson and never used the time travel powers again after that and the storm still happened.

I just don't really see the point of conversations like this. If you saw it coming, great, congratulations. If you're lying, well, I'll never know.

The story's concluded, and all the information is on the table. Anyone can say they "saw it coming", and you'd be hard-pressed to disprove them because everyone already knows how the dots connect.

You're the guy who started arguing about how it wasn't obvious. I brought it as an example of how I think the game's writing was bad, because relying on tropes is a sign of bad writing since it makes the story predictable and thus lessens the impact of the twist/reveal, which is exactly what happened for me.
If those tropes don't pop into your head while playing - that's fine! But that doesn't mean my criticism of the game is wrong - it might be a moot point for you, but my point still stands.

You know we see what happens after you let Chloe die, right? There is absolutely zero indication of any storm in that ending. Are you one of those /r/lifeisstrange shippers who hasn't ever seen the real ending because "boohoo i couldn't watch chloe die!"?

>>383371083

>>383370832
In the end none of that matters because you can't give your stunning revelation to the oblivious main character of the game. You can't scream to the horror movie character that the killer is behind them. You managed to figure out who the murderer is in the first scene? Oh really? What are you going to do about it? Nothing. That's what you're going to do.

For me, it's just that Rachel seems like an even bigger cunt than Chloe.

I dealt with Chloe in the main game because she was balanced out somewhat by Max, but Rachel's even worse.

It's no wonder she went and got herself killed.

>>383371131
I got both endings. What I mean is that the absence of the storm in the bay ending can't really be justified. The storm happens in the bae ending as it should. The storm doesn't happen in the bay ending but it should. If time travel fucks up spacetime, then a whole week's worth of rewinding should only make it worse.

I used to think that sacrificing Chloe would be the right thing to do, but the more I think about it the more it seems like it's artificially the right ending. If the moral is that you can't just wish things to have happened differently, then wishing away your entire week is the last thing the story needs to convey that message.

>>383371379
>Max is too pure for that

That's because it is anon. It's clear the Developers didn't know how to wrap it up so they went with the Spec Ops the Line Guilt Trip.

What Act, What Section up to that point gave you any indication or evidence that Chloe had to die in that Bathroom? Throughout the game we

* Save Chloe - Storm still happens
* Euthanize Chloe - Storm still happens
* Watch Chloe get shot in the face - Storm still happens
* Rewind time before we even get time travel powers - Storm still happens

There is simply no reason for Chloe needs to die in the Bathroom apart from "Muh self fulfilling prophecy"

>>383371549
Not him, but (and before I start off I'd just like to say that I thought the game was mediocre at best) I think the point was that Chloe was 'destined' to die, and interfering with that would just fuck shit up, butterfly effect and all that. The tornado was an extremely ham-fisted way of representing that, to be honest.
The games about becoming disenchanted with youthful power fantasies (or rather super-power fantasies). The problem is just that as I already said the tornado itself is a shitty representation of the butterfly effect/chaos theory. Chloe living will always make the tornado exist, but it's never explained how they're connected. I don't care that there's no explanation for where the powers came from, but the butterfly effect is about SEEMINGLY unrelated things affecting each other, not completely unrelated things

Nice logic /pol/

>>383371940
Well I personally think the butterfly effect is bullshit anyway, because you have literally an infinite amount of permutations that end up with Chloe alive and no storm. With the powers of time travel Max could spend as much time as she wants to subtly change the timeline in ways that generate an ideal end result. If all it takes is to kill one person, then all it would take is to find the next link in the chain to influence, and you could skip the death entirely.

>>383372407
Yeah, that's exactly what I wanted to say. Obviously, in context of the game it's more about the relationship and the emotional impact but for me the game really suffers from the ending not really being logical in any way

For me, it was choice between Chloe and Kate. And I simply chose Kate. If right before the choice, I got a phone call from Kate that she escaped and is fine, I would probably sacrifice Bay instead

>>383372092
Again, you fucking idiot, timetraveling isn't the problem. Changing the timeline is the problem.
And the point of it is character development. Chloe and Max got a chance to reconnect and grow together. Chloe learned that the world doesn't revolve around her and sacrifices herself. Max learns to be an assertive and engaging person instead of a wallflower, and learns to let go. That final scene is where they lose their youth and innocence and become adults, which is COINCIDENTALLY the exact thing Jefferson was trying to capture in his pictures.

While there is no way to tell that Kate died or that she survived, it is likely that she dies in the bay ending as the storm really symbolises killing all the characters you met in the game to save Chloe's life.

Say what you want about the endings, but I think the bay ending has an interesting symbolic meaning that you can extrapolate onto the entire story, where the time travel stuff is simply a coping mechanism to get over the fact that her best friend just got shot, and the entire game is a sort of journey towards acceptance.

Everything that happens past Chloe getting shot is in max's head, trying to deal with her best friend dying after she waited years to contact her, even after she got back to Arcadia bay. The "nightmare" at the end is her subconsciousness trying to get her to back to reality. Sacrificing Chloe is accepting her death and moving on, and sacrificing Arcadia bay is letting the tornado (her grief) wipe her out and going insane. All the people in the cafe in her dream represents the people that will "die" for her if she goes insane, and the edgy "cereal" max she is talking to is the part of max's mind that wants to accept reality and snap out of it, while Chloe represents the opposite part.

Going from max the socially awkward to being max the awesome superhero saving the day and befriending everyone with her time powers reflects her delusion that she can make everything perfect and reverse Chloe's death. Those being mad about the endings and that the choices you made didn't have an effect on it is missing the entire message the game is trying to convey. Being left empty at the end is your way to feel max's pain and hopefully also accept Chloe's death in the same painful way she did.

Keep in mind this isn't a theory about the actual plot of the game, it's merely an interpretation of the game's potential symbolic meaning.

You have been graced by the presence of Comfy Kate.

Eternal comfyness will come to you, but only if you say: "Bless you, Comfy Kate!"

And that would be fine

Except for the fact Max doesn't know it's Chloe when she's shot. She actually doesn't recognize her at all.

It's also one of the most basic "It was all a dream" plot devices in all of writing.

In this theory, all the events of the game (including that which happens before we see Chloe being shot) would be happening after the real Chloe being shot. It's all in Max's head, told in a non-linear way. The only time we see the real Max is at the end.

Clarify. I don't understand.

Pretty underwhelming. Being able to change your decisions already makes choices seem like they don't matter but Even the repercussions weren't felt. I actively disagreed with Chloe at every choice and it didn't matter. Even if you lose the gun they give you a second choice to get it back, you can kill a puppy for no reason, you can euthanise Chloe and immediately change the timeline so it doesn't matter, and at the end you either kill everyone making none of the relationships matter or you can reset the timeline which equally has no consequence.

There was nothing sjw about this game. Its a story about friendship, loss and the inviolability of nature.

If you fell whatever crap chan says, its your loss only.

Honestly, LiS is probably the most misunderstood by anons game there is. Its image is like a forced meme: noone knows the origins of it and just posts it for the meme itself.

On the bright side, normies avoid chan and actually played and liked this game, so there will be LiS 2.

Animals were killing themselves, dumbass.
