My own LIS experience
I just finished LIS game the game its totally Amazing a perfect chices game and had a lot of good shit that telltale need in her games
The choices are so powerful and hard and dose matter with big or Small consequences.
The game like the games of telltale had 5 ep
Ep1 to ep4 full hour and 40 m but ep 5 full 2 hours and 10 m. talking about the ties that bind was too big and needed to be two parts with one hour length joke. dontnod had the balls to make a full 2 hours length as the last ep for the game.
The game story is magnificence and had a lot of the train feels and the ninja onions in every were or i should say every time or dimensions or reality
Unlike the most of the telltale games this game was in my opinion a great exampl of the matter of choices more than any game that telltale made but TFTBL and TWD S1.
I really liked max chatacter. the character of this girl its what i like clementine to be like as a 18 teenager normal girl who live a normal life.
This game make me understand something more than i ever did before. (why a lot of ppl liked kenny) in LIS that man who called david the step father of chloe he is a total asshole like kenny but when i first saw he's way of acting i remeberd kenny i said in my self that person not bad he is just trying to be a father and a soldier .i gone with that thinking all the gameplay i never been against him i never
Did what made him angry on me cus i always thought he is an adult and he's actions are not just to piss ppl around him he might have reason to yell on kate he have good reason to use a cameras on the hous and school he is just a person who try to protect ppl and somehow i was right U cant ever judge a book from the title.
I felt like shit when my kate died i helped her every time but not in the first one when david yelld on her I wiped insults from her room list and the link of her video from the mirror but i failed to convience her to not kill her self but at least i got the chance to conviece her unlike TNF jane flashback
Jefferson as a main villain was a total mined blowing shit to me it was the ultimate WTF for me i liked him as a professor but he turnd into the fucking doch crazy motherfucer bag of the game.
The last choice of the game for me was powerfull as fuck i was looking to the screen for 5 m i don't know what to chose but i i chosed to kill off all the arcodia bay to prove to the other max who said that i dont care for chloe i only cared to be a Famous character at blackwell school but i feelt like shit with that choice than i made they other one and killed off chloe it wasn't good at all it was so fucking painful for me as it was for max to sit down there huging her knees hearing my best friend get killed with out doing any thing i was like FUCK ME OKAY WTF WHY but it was better for all the town its a better choice and i have to admit it but its painfull really painfull.
I just made that post cus this game made a lot of impact on me and i stil feel so sad about every thing i really need a hug right know i didn't need that from a long time since i played TWS1
And for any one who like the choices game don't only be sided to the telltale games look for the better experiences and where U got it and this game is HELLA sure one one of the ways U got a goodexperience.

Inb4 shitstorm
Wait wait, what's this thread even for? You haven't asked anything...just a review..
I didn't ask
And yeah its a review about my own experience for the game and for the telltale fans who used to say shit about this game to do not judge it and play it
You know you can praise LIS without shitting on Telltale?
So....what are we gonna discuss then?
Huh, I think thosa are a rare breed.
It was pretty good imo, but the last episode was shit.
I did like the last episode
U know U should understand the telltale is not perfect at vedio games and she need to (Tell off) for the shit that calld the new frontier i don't follow blindly telltale i follow i rather looking for good games who from an other Developer who knows what is the real meaning of the choices dose matter game not to be Heil telltale slave
I do understand that Telltale isn't perfect but neither is DONTNOD.
I love this
LiS was great until the shit ending...all those choices boiled down to...save Chloe or save Arcadia Bay with a 40 minute mind numbingly stupid dream sequence to pad out time. Spoiler the devs wanted you to choose Arcadia Bay...because the save Chloe ending was tacked on.
Now the good outweighs the bad by a large margin in LiS, and the moral of the story is not to take friendship for granted.
All in all a fun journey that is more poignant than the destination. The soundtrack is pretty awesome as well.
Dude, yes! David was the man! They introduce him as a jerk but he turned out to have my back more than most other characters in the game. I really enjoyed him, he WAS a lot like Kenny with his temper and rough exterior hiding a really big heart.
LiS was a very enjoyable experience. Unlike Telltale, they dont have to assure you that the good writing is yet to come. It simply is good. A full length interactive experience where choices really do affect countless small details. They don't insult your intelligence or patience, from the first second they simply show you that this actually a game worth coming along for the ride.
The devs wanted multiple endings (9?) But enix told them their time was up and made them rush the endings. blame the publishers not the devs
Ps I liked the dream sequence
Are you sure? Because to me the choices in Life is Strange didn't seem to impact the story that much. I feel like the choices mattered the same compared to most of Telltale's choices. Of course it wouldn't make a difference in the end but even if it did the story would've had the same scenes. For example, in Episode 1 if you lie to the principle and in Episode 2 you blame Nathan, he will expel Max from school. Not that it matters because she ends up not attending classes in school in the later episodes anyway. I agree that some of the choices were hard to make but the fact that they don't change the story or scenes that you get bothers me.
I agree it was a good experience for me until the ending of the last episode where all your choices are thrown away.
Glad you liked it though.
Ahh the old blame the publisher deal...see that is called covering their ass.
While I like Life is Strange alot, because I really like Max' character, as well as a few others (Warren, David is a really nice character, in that I cant always agree with his methods, but he is still very easy to sympathize with, which is really well written).
But I always felt like I was missing something, because everyone talked about how the last choice was super hard and stuff, and while I did sort of enjoy Chloes character, and playing the first 3 episodes again, I appreciated her alot more, but nothing she ever does justifies sacrificing everyone else just so she can live, now obviously I havent spent my entire childhood with Chloe like Max has, and while Chloe is a good friend, she is not very dependable, and gets offended when you dont spend like, every waking moment with her (such as taking Kates call at the diner), and the fact that Max has a bunch of friends that she is really close with at the end of the game, I simply dont see the justification in sacrificing Arcadia, Chloe is a nice enough person and all, and I actually really like her alot more after playing some of the game again, but I just feel like, her personality, along with the fact that you have to sacrifice everyone else in Arcadia, (Warren, Chloes mother, David, Kate), I just dont see how the choice is that hard
I honestly enjoyed the game the most, when it was just high school drama with time travelling powers, I was a bit annoyed when they went the very Cliche story of "sacrifice everything, or go back in time to fix it all", the annoying thing about the final choice to me is also, that it becomes a choice of "Saving Chloe, and have everything that happened in the game actually matter", or "Sacrifice Chloe, but everything in the game was for nothing", now I know its probably not that black and white, but I really wish that they had some more fulfilling and satisfying endings, where both of them didnt include throwing half the game away (If you save Chloe, all the time you spent with other people, and everything you did, save Kate (Determinant), getting Victoria to start being a better person, ruining or salvaging David and Chloes mothers relationship (I dont remember how it plays out exactly), BUT, if you sacrifice Chloe, youre throwing EVERYTHING away, literally anything you did in the game didnt matter, Chloe is gone, everything you did to help people is gone.)
I dunno, I loved playing this game, but both endings feel very lackluster and frankly unsatisfying to me, its not even really a bittersweet ending, its just like "wow this is kinda shit", everything else about the game I love, but I just dont really feel like playing it through again, since the ending kinda ruins it for me
I also agree, the soundtrack is very nice, very chill
I never got the lesson. What is the character and player learning?
I Liked the last episode until they started the weird Creepypasta Nightmare bullshit.
Liked the ending too which is a pretty unpopular opinion ((Probably cause i did not Pick to Destroy Arcadia bay since that ending was awful))
To be fair, Dontnod never entirely admitted to that . At most, they admitted to budget and time constraints. If they did, SE probably would've cut ties with them and not be working on a supposed live action series.
I'm sorry but didn't you see both endings? None of the previous choices affected the endings, both are the same anyway.
In the save town ending, you go back ALL the way to the beginning to just let Chloe die, your choices just disappeared, none of them existed anymore.
In the save Chloe ending, that's a bad one, you just choose a stupid bitch (Sry, but I hate her so much) over a town full of defenseless people which makes your choices get destroyed.
Also, the endings just made a lot of plots who went NOWHERE:
That's a terrible choice. I would have chosen to let her die because she was such a bitch through the entire game. I don't see what makes people like Chloe, with the exception of great voice-acting and development. I wanted Max to get away from a monster like her.
No
Wowzer! Hella! Fuck you Selfie! THE CRINGE! ARHHHhhhhgh!
I see that Square Enix is acting very much like Ubisoft.
I will reply U later
Great game. Didn't think it would be my kind of game at first but when I got in to it I really started to enjoy it. I appreciate how much effort and detail went into the game. I was a little confused as to why so much time was spent with Max and Chloe in the alternate universe but it all started to make sense towards the end. I had no real problems with the ending and found it to be very emotional.
WHY!?
She is blaming Max and Rachel for the change of her life when they had nothing to do with her father's death. She really cannot ignore it after 5 years passed.
Chloe wants Max to save the town over her, but if you refuse it, she doesn't care anymore and stays with Max's choice, it's like she forgot that her mother and David are still in town where they're about to die. Hell, after that, they don't even check for them or for the remaining survivors. They just walk out of there like nothing happened.
...good point.
First I didn't point the game has no errors i pointed that the trat the choices better than some of the games of telltale
yeah
and i am sure the same is with the games of telltales there is allways endings for the story but non of our choices matter in it only in GOT TFTBL TWD S1
If U chose to go back to the past of course that will happing i mean its an other reality when U don't save chloe its not an other reality when U don't save kate
i wish U explain what U mean in here.
i am not fan of romance so i can't see that how U see it .but i treated warren as a friend nit a lover and he was allways a good friend who proves him self i don't think he will change depending of me if i treated him as a max love intrest
yeah that sucks i thought helping her will be usefull but it was a hard smack on the face.
Well thats UR choice as player they are dead you chosed the kill them all for Chloe.
Hmmmp chaos theory? I think this is part from LIS story that max trying to fined out what happin to her but she faced problems that can not give her here time to think how or to look for awnser that why there gonna be LIS season two.
how can U you be sure its a new power from my own information max is a humen time machine she said that by her self to be more correct U should say she discoverd a new ability from her own superpower its something U fined in all superheros storys they discover a new abilitys from thier own super power and some of them dose not even know where did they got those powers.
yeah jefferson has no back story for that but from what he said when he was taking pic to max when she was druged i new some thing jefferson is a sick person who look for the beauty in the sick shit a crazy artist more like a crazy scientist.
well rachel proved dead in ep 4 how she will be affecet ep 5 to be a live again
and rachel amber not the main point of the LIS story the storm max power is are the main LIS and max powers. But as i said she faced a problems that make her forget to care about all of that and rachel is just a connected part from that.
U sir have no right to judge my choice
do U know how dispointing to hear that from kenny's fan i allways look to kenny fan as ppl can see the good beyont the bad but U totaly blow that image in my eye
Yeah chloe acted bad but that dosen't mean she is bitch or a bad person i always looked the same way to kenny he is a good person no matter what haters say about him he is good he lost ppl he was there for clem no matter how she was around him and so chloe dose i never did agree with chloe i even let david slap her cus she needed that slap but she was always with me and she lost her father and he friend too if U judge her and hate her for her acting way U should do the same for kenny or TNF clementine i don't hate clementine i like her i also know that there is reason.
max has her own persnality and memory and her momory said that chloe its not just a chiledhood friend its a sister
Shame
yeah the choices was like the same like telltale's but they were most of the time affective more the the chices o telktale games
no shit
As i said most of them dose matter with small or big outcomes
yeah that was a hard smack
thank U this game give me a lot of feels i haven't hit with that train of feel since i played TWD S1
no shit he is the perfect soilder .
With No doubt
It was a scary some how mading some of those choices cus i don't know how they will affect with good or bad like throwing boned to the road or writing my name in the VIP list of the clube or writing max was here in the junk yard.
Hella right .waiting season two
I don't got UR point
Glad U like it mate
The point is that by the end of the game everything you did may as well have ever happened.
What I mean is you don't have to replay the previous episodes to save the determinant characters when you just have to choose the best ending of episode 5.
i am not fan of romance so i can't see that how U see it .but i treated warren as a friend nit a lover and he was allways a good friend who proves him self i don't think he will change depending of me if i treated him as a max love intrest
If you choose to kiss him and save the town, they're not what you wanted them to be anymore.
Yeah, except the fact that Season 2 won't continue Max's story after Dontnod confirming Max's story was over.
As I said, they all popped out of nowhere and plot still didn't tell us how she got powers.
If the main objective of this game was to let Chloe die in the bathroom, then what was the point of Max getting powers and the whole story after that?
I didn't judge your choice. I just said that saving Chloe is a terrible decision in my point of view. I never said you shouldn't have done that.
Eh, I found Kate Marsh to be like her own sister.
It's not just that. As I said to Raven, Chloe wants Max to save the town over her, but if you refuse it, she doesn't care anymore and stays with Max's choice, it's like she forgot that her mother and David are still in town where they're about to die. After that, they don't even check for them or for the remaining survivors. They just walk out of there like nothing happened.
I was just pointing out some things. This isn't about changing your opinion.
Yassss! Thank you for this thread!
Well, my two favorite games come from Telltale and Dontnod, so I won't talk about that part, but great review!
Life Is Strange is my favorite game ever (if someone here don't agree just pretend you don't read it, it's MY opinion)
The game is so simple yet so strong and powerful. Just like life. The art direction is just... I have no words. The soundtrack... Only masterpieces.
About David: he's just great. Reminds me Kenny as well.
About Chloe: I like her and I don't like her at the same time. I don't know how to explain. But I saved Arcadia Bay in the end. Because there's good people living there. Warren, Joyce, Kate (Thank God I saved that girl), Alyssa, David, Dana, etc.
It's amaging how some characters are so well written. And Max... Oh, that girl will have my heart forever. She's amazing.
Well, I will stop now, you can see I am a fangirl lol (deal with it)
LIS isn't just a game. It's an experience. A good one. You just need to be able to see it.
Now I'm going to listen Spanish Sahara for the 635621536521635213 time.
People need to relax. Trying to find a "why" for everything is pointless, especially when we are talking about video games. We can't explain rewind powers as much as we can't explain zombies, because if you read a little, you can see that is impossible zombies like the ones from TWD really exist.
But who cares? Think less, enjoy more. We are talking about video games!
Is there some news about season 2? I don't see anything in a while.
I heard season two will be this year that all what i have from news but iam not sure of it
I can not agree more and UR gameplay is better than mine since U saved kate the game is a lagendary but o am not playing it again the chices are to hard for me like season one the walking dead those two games ican play them again they make feel scared for every choice i made cus i know i will regret them
Sure thing buddy
I've played LIS twice. The first time was like WOWWW WHAT A GOOD GAME, I NEED TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON. Now, now, now. So I didn't explore too much, you know? I didn't take all the pictures, didn't explore all the places, etc. In my first game play I didn't saved the fisherman, Evan and the truck driver during the storm and I was feeling really bad about it. So I decided to play again and do everything that I didn't before. That was great.
Unlike U i actualy try to enjoy every single moment in the game and explore every thing like its the first and the last time i play the game it took me like almost two hours to finish every EP and two hours and half for the last one i explore even the shit in the bathrooms. that make the game more enjoyable i did saved the truck driver and every one i can save. kate and arcodia bay are the only victim of my first gameplay.
