What's the deal with this game? What's it about? Bought it for the missus and now I can't get her off my PS4...
Oh they aren't all out yet?
Come on... let's not front like some of you haven't played this game. Especially some of you metros and emos....
I'm gonna have a go once I can prize her hands off the controller...
Not yet.... you thinking of getting it?
FFS.
Saw it in the store, but didn't purchase it. Did you play it yet?
Fair enough.Just finished the first episode of Life is Strange. Pretty damn good. Top notch choice of music, terrible lip syncing. I mean way off. Would def recommend it to those who like the Telltale games.
I've been glimpsing over as she plays, I like the vibe of it but I'm trying not to spoil it in case I do get around to playing. She's hooked but I've booted her off for a few days... it's made me reassess my attempts to involve her in my gaming.I've not bought it due to the backlog I've mentioned in the other thread but stuff I've read about it sounds good as it seems to contain elements of lots of things I like. Did you try asking her what its about?
Too many games, too little timeNot yet.... you thinking of getting it?
She isn't/shouldn't be a wimp either.yea but protagonist isn't...
Hmm, might have to try this some time then. I liked the look of the game but gave it a miss thinking it was going to suck.Up to halfway through episode 4 and any doubts I had are seriously gone. Fecking hell, this is seriously good.
I'm not usually one to judge books by their cover but when I initially saw this, I dismissed it as teenage nonsense. But I had nothing to play so I gave it a go and have not regretted it.
Have sped through the the episodes and the storytelling is top notch. Sci-fi apocalyptic foreshadowing mixed with time travel and some Veronica Mars style teenage detective mysteries is a weird premise but it works so well.
Also, some serious themes like suicide and euthanasia are explored and are handled extremely well. The suicide one from a gameplay perspective was nerve-wrecking and the euthanasia incident had me sitting in front of the TV for a good 10-15 minutes not knowing what decision to make.
For me, it surpasses anything Telltale has done and that includes Walking Dead season 1. Can't wait for episode 5 and the finale.
That is true but still, she deserved a taste of her own medicine.Just an FYI, not being a bitch doesn't make you a wimp.
Yeah I also really liked the game, above S1 Walking Dead for me too.
Personally I liked The Wolf Among Us better than Life is Strange. Don't know why but I really got involved in the TWAU universe with fables and stuff. Best 4.75$ I have ever spent. This game is better though and Telltales can learn from them.
Just finished it. They knocked that ending out of the park, absolutely brilliant.
About 2 hours, maybe a little more.How long did it take you for episode 5?
I'm tempted to take the evening off and finish it if I can do it in a few hours like the previous ones.

TWAU actually slipped my mind. That's my favourite Telltale game but I'd still place LIS above it.
Nope, I haven't played any of the Borderlands games so I'm guessing I'd be a bit lost with the Telltale game.Have you played Tales from the Borderlands yet? It's seriously Telltale's best effort yet along with TWAU and I wasn't expecting it to be since I'd never really played the Borderlands games. Just finished it now.
Going to finish off Life is Strange next. I'd played the first 3 episodes but got a new pc so going to have to play through it all again! Good to hear that it keeps the quality up towards the end.

Tried to get into it but quit early. Couldn't get into the whole emo vibe. Maybe I should give it another go, since so many liked it.
How far into it did you go? It might be a bit boring at the very beginning, but when the story unveils a bit and decision making starts, is when it gets really good.
That's a common, and valid, complaint (although the vibe struck me as more hipster than emo!). I remember rolling my eyes on more than a few occasions during the first episode but there was enough there to intrigue me. I'd say give it another go and see if the second episode ropes you in.Tried to get into it but quit early. Couldn't get into the whole emo vibe.

I'm curious to see what Dontnod come up with next. I sort of liked Remember Me as well. I have high hopes for them.
It's already known. Looks quite interesting.
