Artix posted:They said ~6 weeks per episode, yeah? We should be due for one either this week or next, I think. According to what they were telling people at PAX the 2nd episode is actually finished. Square Enix has yet to announce a release date so it's actually a little concerning.

I felt like this episode was considerably worse than the first one. They tried to shoehorn more puzzles into the game and they were just... bad. The diner scene where you had to remember what happened was just annoying, especially when trying to see exactly what landed on the jukebox, the gun scene was complete poo poo, and the bottle search completely boring. I realize that there are restrictions on the game because of the mechanics, but if all the puzzles are going to boil down to complete trial and error than it's going to be disappointing. And I don't know, it just seems like everything that happened at the end of this episode should have been at the end of the last. We didn't really learn anything new at all, and we met two new characters, that's it. I can't help but feel super disappointed. Paul Zuvella fucked around with this message at 20:36 on Mar 26, 2015 |

Paladinus posted:Trial and error doesn't make a puzzle. And if the diner thing at least required some attention, the shooting episode was nothing but a vicious cycle of click a thing, rewind, click another thing. It's the opposite of good use of any engine and the opposite of good in general. It's bad. I'd have to agree. The "Puzzles" in this game are pretty terrible, and even the ones that are not technically bad the train comes to mind have absolutely no tension because you literally have a rewind button. Basically the Video game part of this Video Game is really, really bad. The first episode didn't use the mechanics too much outside of conversation stuff, which is why I probably think the first episode was lightyears better.

Oh cool, a thing happened that was super obviously going to happen the exact second the character was introduced in Episode 1. Also it was like 15 minutes out of a an hour and a half long episode. I will say again, maybe something will actually happen this episode.

That episode was very good. However, I have one big issue. Spoilers because it actively discusses the climax of episode 3. This game if effectively is about the impact of choice and how drastic outcomes can vary. I understand there are limitations to this, as they only have so much money/cannot make every choice matter, but to completely remove the players choice in deciding whether or not to save William was an extremely disappointing. I understand that this is likely going to be a central issue going forward, but we only play these one episode at a time. It was so clearly going to have an extreme impact on everyone involved and it kind of sucked that I just had to do it no matter what. David as the busdriver was pretty great, though All in all, this game is way loving weirder than I thought it was going to be. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing yet.

I'm honestly super interested in how exactly this game is going to resolve because we only have two episodes left and here is a list of all the things we still don't know. What happened to Kate at the party Why Nathan Prescott is such a poo poo What happened to Rachel Amber Why is David following around students HOW WILL OUR DATE WITH WARREN GO??? What kind of weird thing will hit Alyssa next time What's the deal with the tornado Why birds are dying Why Whales are dying in alternate future How to fix Chloe broken Life (physically or emotionally) Are we gay? Is Chloe gay? What really is the deal with the vortex club WHO WILL WIN EVERYDAY HEROS? and finally Why can Max control time That's a a lot of things to answer in a game that effectively only has 3-4 hours of content left. I can't help but feel like the payoff for a lot of these either are not going to happen or the payoff will be disappointing.

Gaj posted:I will agree with you on that. But in the medium that is that is this game, the only consequences that Chloe actually feels is physical; getting shot, hit, or shot again are the only consequences she feels. The boring real life escalation is Step-Douche taking away all of her luxuries and privileges, but she she would still end up with a gun, just like Nathan. Jesus loving christ dude.

monster on a stick posted:So what is the deal with Nathan's crazy drawings? I felt really awesome after talking her down, but I feel like if I had failed I would have thought it was super cheap and annoying. No real in between. We'll see though, I'm playing through with my girlfriend and she blew through Kate's room in like 2 minutes so there is no way she is saving her.

For most of the audience of this game, this might as well be a WoW or 4chan reference, because that's the context that they have experienced it in.

exquisite tea posted:If you examine the hallway layout at Blackwell, there is a black door to the right of Mr. Jefferson's class that is probably the dark room, but it has been inaccessible thus far. It's pretty obviously just an extra door that leads into the photography room that was walled over from the inside at one point. If you count your steps from that door to the entrance to the room, then go inside and count your steps to the back wall, they are identical.

Rare Collectable posted:I guess thats not relevant? I'm never really sure on exactly how old the characters are. I don't really think that the game really understands how old the characters are either. Max is 18 and just started her first year at this boarding school which resembles an American High School, but nearly everyone there appears to be 18. I'd imagine this is because of the difference between what college is in America and Europe. Blackwell is likely fashioned after a 2 year college someone would attend in Europe before going to University, and the closest thing we have to that in the US is a Jr College or Community College.

I wonder if that means we're gonna spend the majority of this episode in alt-timeline, or they didn't want to spoil which reality we're in. I would find the lack of Chloe to be very refreshing. e: Her lovely truck is in the trailer, which seems pretty telling that we are in the original timeline. Though that's obviously speculation.

According to Square Enix the game has apparently passed 1 million units in sales. That's pretty insane considering the budget of the game was likely minuscule and it had a non existence advertisement budget.

Like what would they even do for a sequel? More time traveling twee hipster crap with a new heroine? Do they have a new girl figure out she can control time? Why box yourself in by making yourself make something similar to LiS when they can just make a new game.

One thing I was not expecting in this game was a character literally having a bullet hole put through her forehead seemed extremely graphic and out of place in a game like this. However it was a great reveal, even if the "twist" was extremely obvious. Drakes posted:Oh yeah, but her dying felt.....appropriate? Like this giant wake-up call on how while being able to rewind things Max can't save everyone. That "wake up call" also happens at the end of episode 3/beginning of episode 4, and again at the end of episode 4.
