Was wondering why I didn't have any episode recap posts in this thread.

Realised they're in a message thread with Dannnnnnnnnn

Playing episode two now, won't have time to finish it tonight unfortunately.

Does make me want to eat breakfast in an American diner again, been 8 years

Spoiler

I picked Belgian Waffles

 

[Gralin]

Episode two done

Spoiler

So I couldn't bring myself to let Kate die, even though I saved her first time round.

I accused Jefferson the evil bastard. Do like the little hints they drop, as well as the red herrings, not just with him, but other characters

I did manage to save Chloe without stuffing up the train tracks this time.

Hoping to start episode three tonight

 

[Gralin]

So a couple of hours roughly into episode 3

Spoiler

I had bacon for breakfast

I'm such a sucker for this game

 

[Gralin]

So Episode 3, the gut punch.

Spoiler

man I still remember the first time I finished this episode and saw Chloe in the chair smiling.

Still things I've missed, I get sucked into the story and forget to explore

Time for the darkness of episode 4

 

[Gralin]

Oh man episode 4 is killing me already

 

[The Big Sauce]

I kind of want to replay this now that I've finished Before the Storm.

Spoiler: Ep 4

Rachael's death will hit me harder than the first time I imagine.

 

[Gralin]

Listening to the soundtrack now at work

 

[Gralin]

just finished episode 4 again

Spoiler

So I never saw Jefferson coming first time around, second time, with all the hints it made more sense. This episode is probably the one for me, the best of this game at really hitting the emotions. One holds a special place because it started the whole journey and three hit the groove pretty well, I think episode two is the weakest for me, or least enjoyable for whatever reason out of the first four even though it does a lot of heavy lifting for what is to come

Rocking into episode five and it's girl with the dragon tattoo type vibe

 

[Gralin]

And done, again, been 18 months since I first finished this gem

Spoiler

Random thoughts, so many photos have been missed, I picked some new ones up on this play through but still far from a complete scrap book

I love the framing of shots in this game, the sound track, just the general ambiance, the facial animations are far from the best but the feeling in the game comes through.

Man saying good bye to Chloe was hard, first time round I let Arcadia die to save her, this time I saved the town to see the "main" ending. While this is definitely the happier and longer ending it's a really tough choice in the moment.

Now I can play before the storm

Haha you're free to post your own messages from a PM, it's just somebody else's you have to get permission for. All good.

 

[Spudregus_87]

Only thing holding me up is that I'm thinking of doing a play through again :|

 

[typeclub]

75% off. Wowee. One of the best games on Steam.

 

[Tbonefreo]

Had it in my library from the PS store. Chucked it on and had a crack.

Finished episode 1. Loved it.

Actually escaped into a game for the first time in I dont know when. Bit late to the party but will be finishing this one soon

Hit the nail on the head.

The first first comparison that comes to mind, when thinking of games that emotionally take you away like LiS, is The Last of Us - which is saying something.

Might try a playthough this weekend. (Haven't forgotten about my earlier promise in the thread).

Yeah im impressed. Ill be playing a lot more games like this.

I base all my decisons on making as much drama and pissing people off as possible. Such a rat haha.

 

[Tbonefreo]

Finished this last night.

Thoughts: .

Spoiler: spoiler

I really didnt like Chloe. Her relationship with Max seemed a bit forced in the way I was playing (total renegade/rat/a-hole). I let her die without hesitation. I liked the twist with Mr Jefferson even if I did see it coming. I dobbed on him in the prinipals office. I also let the drug dealer die as well. only 8% let him die.
Warren was a legend.
The bit when you are going through time (and hell?) was cool but waay drawn out, and eventually it was meaningless filler.

Overall the game was definately enthralling. loved it. 8.5/10

We need your feels

Got this a a while ago when it was free on PSN.

Will I like it? Internet, I need to be told my opinion.

Yes

 

[SwampCreature]

But what if I don’t

 

[HBK619]

But what if I don’t

If you like good things you'll like Life is Strange. If you don't like good things, then you're beyond help.

 

[Gralin]

But what if I don’t

If you don't like it then you are an inhuman monster and as such will be ridiculed and banished to the swamp

Anyone want a free PC Steam key for this game? I got an extra from the Humble Monthly.
