I think the point of Kate is encouraging you, if you haven't already, to be observant, go through all the dialogue, etc. (And also it's a good idea to do that IRL if someone you know is showing these signs.) It's a reward for not blowing through the game. Similarly you can learn a lot in the diner sequence in part 3 or I'm guessing you can get away with some bare minimum. I've started taking all the "sit down" prompts even though there is probably no direct payoff, just because they are great character moments. I was a bit skeptical at first of this game and my ability to enjoy it as an old dude but it's surprisingly good. Even if the puzzles are relatively easy, they all make a lot of sense both in the context of the story and how you solve them - something most adventure games struggle with. You may need to poke around and be more observant but that is how it should be. I liked Remember Me too, but this is better and I hope Dontnod keeps making good games.

My favourite bit is them trying set up customizable combo strikes a-la God Hand, then utterly obliterating that into dust with the need for a combo of straight healing strikes to deal with the electrified guards that turn up by the half-dozen in every encounter of the second half of the game.

e: ^^^^ Actually I didn't need to use a ton of healing strikes at any point in the game, maybe you should just "get good" heh  Remember Me is gorgeous and genuinely quite fun. It suffers from mediocre/weird writing (drat French people) but it's a solid C+/B- type game that I would not hesitate to recommend if you can get it cheap (or free, it was free for PS+ on PS3, so some of you may already "own" it and forgot about it).

Remember Me really sounds like the first game of a fledgling studio that didn't really have a grasp of their strengths and weaknesses and what works and what doesn't yet. It shows that they really learned alot from Remember Me when you compare it to Life is Strange.

I like Remember Me. It's flawed and the writing is off at times, but it's fun and innovative and gorgeous. Also has really really good music which seems to be something DontNod are good at.

The guy who did the Alone in the Dark remake and Obscure series soundtracks also did Remember Me's. He's really good and should do more games.

They took everyone's favorite mechanic from Remember Me (the memory rewrite sequences) and basically made a game around a modified version of it.

Just played through the game and so far the biggest mystery is this: Who was building art academies in what is now Oregon in the 18th Century? Edit: I'm hoping it was Max. Georgia Peach fucked around with this message at 20:52 on Jun 5, 2015 |

This one or Primordia's the best, but so far Technobabylon might win out. They've done such a great job with the characters. EDIT: \/ Dex is pretty good too, though it's got a more action bent to it.

Just finished Episode 3 and I gotta say, that was quite an unexpected turn of events. I wonder if the culmination of all five episodes will somehow be choosing between the alternate timeline Max created and the current one.

I bought and played through the game this weekend and man, it's stuck with me in a weird way. It's by no means an amazing game, and it has obvious rough spots but I'm thinking about it an awful lot. Can't wait for the next ep. And I sure hope the ending doesn't suck... It's a shame there's no interviews about the game out there with the voice actors, I would've liked to see that. I keep wondering if some of the voices are recorded together because there's occasionally a more natural sounding back and forth than other games have, but that could just be in the direction. Seems like there's a lot of Warren hate and a lot of Max/Chloe shippers out there. I have literally no idea what to do there if there even are choices about this, it's hard to figure out the line between Max as a written, fixed character and Max as a character shaped by my choices.

I feel that there are a lot of subtextual clues that I've been missing. The spirit animal connections, the Native American imagery and symbolism, all the little permutations in timelines you can get by rewinding a scene. I'm usually good at sniffing this stuff out but for some reason I can't see how it's all going to connect yet. Anyway, "My So-Called Life Meets Twin Peaks" is such a perfect concept that I can't believe it took this long to make. I'd definitely watch the HBO TV adaptation of Life is Strange.

It reminds me of Sliders. I'm looking forward to Max and Chloe having to fight the Communist Scourge in the world where Max accidentally killed Hitler.

So was giving this a quick replay over the weekend and I'd forgotten that Max never calls Chloe for the five years she's missing. It's never really explained why either, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense that they wouldn't Text or anything what with being best friends, but I'm not really sure how Max's powers could gently caress things up like that either. Maybe it starts at a new branch of a previous timeline? Might explain why she just suddenly gets powers in the middle of class for no real reason, though not why she doesn't know about them. Also if there's a time Max would go back to "The time my best friend was killed" would be it. Fans fucked around with this message at 11:30 on Jun 15, 2015 |

Sometimes you just kind of abruptly lose touch with people, even when you're close to them. I moved away when I was a teenager, and even in the age of instant messenger and email it's hard to maintain relationships when you're sixteen and have no way of getting around. I think Max mentions that she also felt weird talking to Chloe after her father's death, and it seems she moved to Seattle not long thereafter. She may also feel guilt in allowing Chloe's dad to die, assuming the new alternate timeline consciousness thing.

Maybe the people who wrote the game are old enough to remember a time when, if you moved to a new town while you were in school, you just stopped talking to your old friends. I moved around a lot before I got to high school and I never once kept in touch with all the "super best friends" I had made in each place. The world before the Internet and cell phones was weird man.

My best friend moved away when we were 10. She promised to call and write but she never did. Then I ran into her again at college which was really random since we both ended up going to the same random liberal arts college and we became friends again. So basically yeah it does happen. One might even say that life is... strange.

I've list touch with good friends I moved away from in 2011. poo poo happens and a real life friendship doesn't always move to internet that well. Or you just get busy and whoops too much time has gone. And her dad wasn't even freshly dead in my case :V
