Oh story games are like, puzzle games with more voiceover than gameplay and such right? Yeah those are all abysmal.

The steam forum for that game went nuts like 2-3 hours later whenever people first started finishing up the new ep, for good reason.

tbf the Steam forums go nuts when it's cloudy out and also when it's not cloudy out.

after spending the episode basically professing your lesbo love for Chloe, you accidentally go back in time far enough to save her dad. You return to the future as part of Victoria's prep club and learn Chloe is a parapalegic from her own car accident.

Motherfuckers have more theories (about the same poo poo) about whats going to happen with this storygame than the marathon storypage has to date atm.

Life Is Strange continues to get a bad rap because it looks exactly like every other lovely story game ever, but get this: it's actually well done. There's a lot of stuff to do and people to talk to. It looks really lovely and short if you just rush to the next goal like a moron though.

There's already been an adventure game about a teenage girl called Gone Home and so everyone immediately associates this game with that pile because they're both about teenage girls and focus on story.

Saying something is marginally better than Gone Home is damning by the faintest of praises

It's not marginally better, Life is Strange is a million billion times better in every way.

If I hadn't heard or read anything about Alpha Protocol before I played it, I probably would have thought it was one of those Slovenian budget games you find in Micro Center bargain bins

How's the PC version. I played it on Xbox and hated it enough that I never bothered installing in on Steam after getting it from some humble bundle or something.

I got the game+season pass on nuuvem on pre-order for the price of the base game on Steam. Nuuvem is good and for good gamers. It's also only $13 for all five eps on g2a
