Paladinus posted:I suspect that Chloe and her real dad were maybe a bit too close  Anyway spent 4 hours on the game and still didn't get all the photos so drat. Man the wait between episodes is going to be killer. Weird allusions so far: Max Caulfield Blue is the Warmest Color (French movie/French devs but mainly this is going of Chloe's hair) Madoka Magica (Vaguely occured to me when watching the trailer and someone else pointed out how the tornado/hurricane/vortex is vaguely similar to Walpurgisnacht) Anything else you guys have noticed?

The best part about your av/text combo is I can't tell whether you or someone else got it, but either way the effect is about the same.

Fun thing about the game is constantly being reminded of your own teens - it's really cringeworthy. I was laughing my rear end off and kinda feeling how close to home it hits with the Max and Warren dynamic. EDIT - Ahahaha comments on that Warren video are bitching about friendzoning and SJWs

As long as there is no possible way that porn comes out of it (it will  ), mods that change the npcs and music could only be loving hilarious and I welcome it.

'Hella' is like a major Northern California thing and I wouldn't be surprised if it wormed its way up to Oregon.

Maleficent posted:hella is not even some obscure or outdated thing like how out of touch with whats happening around you do you need to be to not understand regional slang Yeah I think a load of posters are a little miffed that their AARP cards haven't arrived in the mail yet. You should be more considerate of that. Also some assholes from Gamespot got to try the latest episode before release I guess

RightClickSaveAs posted:I think the dialogue works within the world, it's at least pretty consistent. It's broad strokes characterization in a lot of ways (again, why would they have full out dudebro football jocks in a small, exclusive art school?) but I know that's more for the purpose of establishing this stereotypical high school hierarchy and it doesn't bother me too much. It does have a little bit of a Veronica Mars thing where some of the high schoolers seem way smarter and adult than others, yet still act and talk like high schoolers most of the time, but it's not nearly as bad as in most TV shows and movies where they have 20+ year olds playing the parts. Unintended Worst Possible Ending to the game.

I have to admit I'm glad the episodes are looking pretty busy - like I can't believe that that trailer represents just one episode let alone a day and I'm really hoping they didn't cheat bys sticking in footage from later episodes. Jeeze I can't even wait five more days for Episode 2.

Well that exceeded expectations...I think the wait is going to be even more unbearable this time - like the game is a TV drama that is consistently on terrible hiatus. The photo hunting for the journal was pretty straightforward this time. I mean come on, another squirrel picture? I did enjoy the Twin Peaks reference I'm still loving stumped on the science lab photo, like I probably spent half an hour watching Warren almost blind himself with  and I still couldn't figure out how to frame the camera for the photo context option.A third of people couldn't save Kate

RuBisCO posted:I had a pretty good chuckle at the vast, gigantic majority that blamed Nathan at the end, cause holy poo poo gently caress that kid. With the choices I made, if I blamed Nathan somehow I would have been suspended (which sadly doesn't seem too far off from reality). So I had to settle for David and even then I didn't have much of a case for that.

This screenshot: Note that when you look at Warren's file, Max notes "Well at least I know that Warren doesn't have a criminal record". Warren's hella skeevo. Dunno what Brooke sees in him.

Bad Ending: Watch Planet of the Apes marathon and end up with Warren. Good Ending: Play Cupid and watch the inevitably caustic Brooke/Warren relationship.

Junkfist posted:While this game is a treasure trove of symbolism and nuanced direction, my favorite part of Life is Strange is the subtle influences of European culture. What? When I think French and hang ups about big noses, anti-semitism is at the bottom of the list. French national caricatures are actually big on noses because the French have got some holy schnozes. exquisite tea posted:Just got done with the second episode, taking my time playing through the story. Is there a link somewhere that describes the inner mechanics behind talking Kate down from committing suicide? It felt like that entire conversation was super-intense for me based on my earlier decisions but now that it's over it'd be cool to read up on what speech checks you need to clear. I ended up saving Kate's life, but I had to go through like five conversation points including more obscure poo poo like her dad's letter and the Bible passage she liked. There should be like a dozen steam guides about it. Just alt+tab next time you play.

I see that using historic or popular England imagery is in vogue among the gaming industry now. Dishonored, the new Assassin's Creed, and this...

Macaluso posted:I had a bug somewhat early in the game that was super annoying but had no real effect on the game as a whole. You can talk to Brooke and she'll let you fly her drone around. One of the dialogue choices, I don't even remember what it was now, I was interested in hearing the whole thing. Except she kept interrupting herself! Her idle dialogue kept overwriting her scripted stuff, and would stop her dialogue early. So there was some bits of her conversation with Max that I just couldn't get to because the game seemed to think she was done talking mid sentence. I tried redoing it several times and each time it did it in the exact same spot and so I was just like wellp Well looks like she was just that happy that Warren asked her out Did anyone else have any trouble helping Alyssa this episode? Like I rewinded her scene multiple times but never seemed to get the prompt to warn her. Which is sad because I've warned her everytime before and I totally want to make sure that she's in my party for the final boss. (Every team needs a tank)

Well, didn't expect the Evangelion Instrumentality Nightmare Sequence. Not, at all. I hosed the world and saved Chloe but I must admit that this ending feels particularly hollow, which fits since it's a rather selfish decision and doesn't artistically flow from everything that preceded. Heck the Nightmare sequence pretty much serves to convince the player to accept the true, mature ending - namely Choe's death. --------- Well off to brave Alpha Warren in the locker rooms to get all the achievements. Wish me luck.

Paladinus posted:The diner's sign says 'DI E '. I'm pretty sure that literally everyone in that town is dead, because nothing points to the contrary. But even if for a moment we imagine that some people survived, Victoria is dead for sure and so is Kate if you didn't save her. Serves them right for not having the right hair colour, I suppose. #baebeforebay I think that after everything Max has been through she deserves a truly selfish choice.

Episode 6 would play out like Alan Wake: American Nightmare and have absolutely nothing to do with the main game's plot and pretty much just be Chloe/Max lesbian roadtripping through the American Midwest.

Just wanna drive by my two cents about a few pages back but that complaining about Blue is the Warmest color falling into popular culture lesbian stereotypes is particularly  and cringe worthy given that the graphic novelist is a loving lesbian. I mean there's certainly problems in the adaptation to film but Christ bitching about "tropes" is not the way to assess it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-1CUBEEuIA

Eh sorry about the insults, I just misread you as blaming mass media at large rather than a generalized trend that lesbian writers and fiction tend to get fixated in. I uhhh might have been a little on edge earlier.
