Life is Strange™

Godamn. Just finished it and the feels have hit me :(

Chose to Sacrifice Chloe in the end. She was a messed up person anyway and of course it was the right thing to do imo. The puzzle bits were a tad tedious but otherwise it was an ok episode - certainly not the best.
 
I also sacrificed Chloe. But what was the whole point of Max's powers if it was just do nothing? Why did she get them? How? Does she still have the power after?

Wasn't a great ending, but the journey was truly amazing.

Agreed, think the ending almost seemed rushed with too much filler and lengthy conversations that didn't need to be. Shame really
 
I think episode 5 was the weakest of them all.

I really enjoyed the journey up until the end though and I think it was a great game.

I like it when Mr Jefferson drops the C-Bomb. It only happens once, the game doesn't make a big deal out of it, and it has a lot of impact at a time as...

he is usually such a calm character and obviously we're seeing a different side of him now, and it is only used once (so far i suppose!)

You see GTA, that's how you make swearing effective, not just say **** every other word!!!

Edit- Just finished the episode...

damn them feels! I also sacrificed chloe as I think she is right that she has almost died many times so maybe it just is her time to go. However, the whole fate \ destiny thing isn't explored that much throughout the series, it just very slowly unravels around the fourth episode. (OK the Alyssa repeatedly nearly being hit by something is a bit of a give away now I think back) but like other people have said, what is the purpose of her power if it wasn't to, y'know, go back in time!!

I chose to sacrifice the town because everything that happened in the game would have been pointless if Chloe died. It just didn't seem right to kill Chloe after everything Max did to save her.

The same could have been said for all the other choices you made in the game though? Like trying to fix david and joyces relationship, or saving kate.
Maybe it's just that you became attatched to the character.

I made the same choice as you. But it was a hard decision.
 
I'm salty as Lots wife after that.
Last Episode was absolute ********.
Adored episodes 1-4, but that was a shocking way to treat the players.

I actually like Much of Ep5 taken on its own, memory hallway was baller, the inch-by-inch via time travel escape at the start was a good, and i thought the nightmare sequence was fantastic, best of its kind in any game ever.:eek:

But as the finish to the previous four it was absolutely ****ing insulting. :mad::mad::mad:

The endings im actually kinda OK with, but they're very message is YOUR ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES, and yet, all my actions for the previous 4 episodes have absolutely **** ALL meaning or consequences in the best ending.

Either the game ***** on all your relationships and erases them in one ending, or you **** on them by murdering a town full of people, loved ones and friends.

Honestly You can take the ending choice, insert it into halfway through Episode 1, and it's exactly the same. All of the journey in episodes 1.5~4 is rendered meaningless and inconsequential. Truly awful. That's bad in most media (it was all a dream all along ending) but when the central message of LiS is your choices matter, everything is linked for the ending to completely ignore that... criminal.

Hate posts like this, do you even think about the people who might want to play this? Instead of leaving a pointless and damning line of text?

My opinion is my opinion and just that, although it is corroborated by my best friend, and that of my wife. I have not gone into further depth or thrown massive spoilers, as you say for people who will want to play it or may wish to form their own opinion, and also because I did not have a huge amount of time when I wrote this but wanted to register my opinion. My opinion still stands that 'to me' and it seems many others, the ending is poor or at the very least divisive. We have the same complaints as most, and my comment I feel is no different than reading the tagline of a conclusion of review where you are presented a very brief summary of opinion.

The other chapters were far, FAR, better, and I think you will be hard-pressed to argue this even if you like Chapter 5!

The journey until this last episode was great, just supremely disappointed with the ending. The fact of which can be seen in that we 3 all rushed to play this chapter the very day it came out, and by the end of the evening, all 3 of us were disappointed.

lol... Amateurs!
I spent 4 days adjusting my sleep pattern so that I woke up at 11pm to be ready and fresh to play-through immediately after launch!:p

And I think, THINK the other guy was saying that your post had a lot of negativity in it, and that spoils people's experience if you give them a preconception either way.
I think he was suggesting to keep all opinions on such a fresh release in spoiler tags to protect others, not because there was anything inherently wrong with your opinion, or your right to voice it.

If so I agree with both of you... we shouldn't spoil the game for anyone else on EP5's release... Dontnod themselves have done that. :(
 
Completed episode 1 a while back and playing episode 2 at the mo :D


If you encounter audio issues just skip a little ahead.....
 
Picked this up after hearing good things. So far it's ok finished episode one and two but my god the dialogue is almost off putting 'hella this and hella that' trying my best to look past it as the story has some promise! The girl with the blue hair is just annoying!

Feels better made than any of the telltale games of this type
 
For me when I played it last year the "hella"-ness (i.e. the characters personalities) was much more interesting than the story! I thought it reflected the "growing up" naivety (who actually says "hella" anymore!) of the characters who were just turning adults- they were dealing with adult-ish themes whilst being only 18 years old. As PC Gamer said:

It's a game about the self-important funk of your mid-late teens, when everything is at once Very Important and also Probably ********. I think that's why I found it so convincing. It's not realistic, but it's unrealistic in the way that young people are unrealistic.

The whole article (personal favourite game of 2015 for someone at PC Gamer) is pretty good:
