I for one can't wait until the 20th for the release of the announcement that they couldn't meet the target date and we all have to wait another two weeks

DivisionPost posted:The way I see it, I cheated by replaying to fix Kate's suicide; she was my one. If I'm gonna save Frank, I'll have to run through this game from the beginning with a new save. I honestly can't believe I saved her my first time, because I didn't pay very good attention in her room (even though I looked at stuff), and that fake out near the end when it seems like she's gonna come down but then she has one last freak out nearly killed me (and her)

Portland Sucks posted:Well that was a 5/5 for me. I'm really really confused about one plot point though. she can change little moments, but she doesn't actively experience everything between what she changed and what the present ends up being. And, her past-self doesn't keep the knowledge and thoughts that she has from the future--it's like future-Max is just temporarily taking over the body and giving it back to past-Max, while past-Max gets cordoned off somewhere without any knowledge until future-Max leaves.

redreader posted:Apart from all that I noticed a couple of weirdnesses. Like, they got USA voice actors but the translator was English, an Englishman who was doing a really good job and trying hard but made like one or two mistakes. I am from the UK / SA and I see language differences a lot. In the USA you have 'grades' for school work, in this game there were 'marks'. Also someone in the 5th episode offered to give you a 'lift', as opposed to a 'ride'. People in the USA say "lift" when driving people somewhere. that's what I say most of the time, and I was born here (and I live in Oregon, no less). the "marks" thing is less common, but Blackwell is supposed to be a fancy private school, and they like to sound fancier sometimes and use Latin/British English phrases sometimes (if it was a school/faculty person who used it--I don't remember), so it wasn't particularly jarring. "high marks" is also used for "good grades", on occasion

anatomi posted:Late to the party, but whatever. It's been a good while since I played a game through to the end, but this one held my interest all the way. And it's sooo loving refreshing with a main character whose main defining trait isn't snark. they could have explored a lot more of the characters with more time, but in the end it was a story about Max and Chloe, so I thought it was okay that we only got what we could piece together

Oxxidation posted:morbid fascination at how inept the dialogue was. there are some places where it's clear they didn't get the branches quite linked together right and it came off as someone just reading off a checklist, but for the most part the dialogue was pretty spot on, both for teenagers and for Oregon hipsters

GlyphGryph posted:The only bits of writing I thought were weak were Jeffersons dark room monologues and what felt towards the very end like the authors fumbling to justify the stakes with ham handed exposition delivered via characters that are untrustworthy sources of information even when they aren't speculating wildly about guaranteed unknowns. the whole bit in Episode 5 with Warren explicitly pinning the blame on Max (like he would know/understand this supernatural power) was the only real thing I didn't care for, that I can recall

skooma512 posted:Beat the game. I really liked it! The story was believable enough and the characters had at least a little nuance about them instead of just one-dimensional archetypes like you might expect to find in a high school story. Warren in particular stands out, because he's probably the closest to what a stereotypical gamer is, but the way he was portrayed is like holding up a mirror to me when I was a teenager. He makes me uncomfortable, for all the right reasons, and it seems like Max and I are on the same page judging by her nightmare. Speaking of the nightmare , I felt it owed a debt to Arkham Asylum. It felt like the Scarecrow hallucinations, even down to playing as Victoria briefly feeling like being the Joker. With regard to that second spoiler block, they probably didn't think about it since Chloe rushed out of the room to hurry to the landfill to find Rachel's body

Hobo Clown posted:Finished this for the first time yesterday, enjoyed it quite a bit. I feel like I lost the plot a little bit in Episode 5 though, assuming I missed something important so hopefully someone can explain (apologies if this has been covered in the thread already): you end up back in the dark room because you never win the contest, and Jefferson, after seeing you've ripped up your photo, burns your diary after he captures you. basically, the rest of the week happens as it does in the first play through, not the alternate reality. David was going to show up on Friday originally, but Max texting him makes him show up earlier

Craptacular! posted:Max should have jumped into some of the Seattle photos she keeps in her dorm and called Chloe, negating the feelings of abandonment that are at the root of the entire game. in that timeline, Chloe gets in a fatal crash on I-5 driving up to visit Max for a week.

It's not just a picture of her. She's looking at the wall of photos she's taken, and the focus (ignoring how she did this on a Polaroid camera) is on the wall, not herself, so it's a statement about how the heroes are the people she takes pictures of, and she's (figuratively and literally) not the focus of the moment.

SirSamVimes posted:Similarly, Oxenfree feels like it hits a lot of similar notes as far as "teenagers having a coming of age story when weird poo poo goes down". I enjoyed Oxenfree for a lot of the same reasons. teens being teens, a creepy story, and some top-notch voice acting.

Jackard posted:Ehhhh, Oxenfree felt incoherent and unsatisfying compared to this Life is Strange has more time to earn it compared to Oxenfree, but there are a lot of moments in Life is Strange, for as much as I like it, that are strung together by floss, story-wise, or that play awkwardly because you can clearly tell they're just listing off things in a logic tree based on flags you've tripped.

monster on a stick posted:Trivia: the tornado struck not that far from where the coordinates of the game placed Arcadia Bay (which I think is basically modeled on Garibaldi.) given that, it's probably safe to assume that Arcadia Bay, like Manzanita, got off with just property damage and power outages.

they talked in commentary about how they used the fact that they had the same locations to tell more of the story and make it more engaging, such as when you get to the alternate timeline and Chloe's room is empty
