    22 years old. I usually love to play FPS, fighting games and stuff. Anything competetive ..
    Life is Strange has changed my thinking of life ever since i played the first one. The story of it is just such a masterpiece that i don't have enough lines to explain how amazing this game is. It really changed me ... in a good way.
    For everyone who hasn't played LiS .. PLEASE go get it, and get the BEST experience out there you can get right now.
    It's hella worth it Shaka Brah !

    Didn’t play the game yet, but I would put my money on the writing. Let’s face it, there were some very… cringe moments on the writing of the original game. Nothing that actually makes it bad, but it was noticeable.

    • @chrisb4285
      @chrisb4285 7 лет назад +39

      Thiago Leão I completely agree and I think before the storm is a little better in that essence. however thare are still moments, but I think that is to be expected in a game like this you are dealing with the inner thoughts of a teenager afterall

    • @GoofyAhWizardMan
      @GoofyAhWizardMan 7 лет назад +18

      I have played before the storm, and I have to say, the dialogue is quite better than last time. Yes it does fall into those cringe moments, but they are far less abundant than the first game.

    • @mercysegen9453
      @mercysegen9453 7 лет назад +3

      True. And after watching the trailer and some of the gameplay footage it looks like this entire game is going to be a cringe-fest. The voice acting for Chloe and Rachel sounds so incredibly cringy as well. I'm about to play this game and I hope it's not too bad

    • @unlimitedpower5027
      @unlimitedpower5027 7 лет назад +6

    Having played the original, it made me act nicer to the characters such as David and Nathan, fuck Victoria though, she's a bitch. The 'cringy' dialogue doesn't bother me, it didn't in the first game either, I like it. I also liked how you could choose your outfit at the beginning. The fact that Ashly Burch isn't voicing Chloe doesn't bother me either, I thought I would but the new actor has done a great job so far, in my opinion. Can't wait for the next two episodes and Max's Farewell episode

      +Elnu You find the people that bought and liked the game in the comment section of lets play channels., where they compare the differences in outcome.
      I really enjoyed life is strange, I pre-ordered before the storm. For people that preorderd the game, a review is kind of irrelevant.
      I also to not have a need to defend either game - it is clearly a "like it or not" kind of game from the premise alone. The gameplay is just solid to good (never "amazing" or "redefining" - why should it?), the dialogs are cringy (which some like and some can not stand), ... I understand the critic on the game, yet can easily enjoy it for what it is.

    Since it's Chloe Price, it's quite accurate to her personality. Even if she doesn't has a cool power like Max, she has backtalk. It's quite interesting that it's optimistic but usually you can see yourself using it because you feel yourself grounded with Chloe. Following her story, you can still feel the teenage delinquency that is her flow. Instead of photographs (since she isn't artsy), she graffitis (which is equally as good). You can also do very small things in Before the Storm, much like the original Life is Strange. It's quite interesting in general, since some people like Chloe Price and some don't.

    @xXRand0mDudeXx 7 лет назад +18

    Weird how so many people "cringe" at this series. If you are cringing at these games then its not a game for you and or makes you less of a gamer. When you play a game, any game, you are suppose to step into the characters shoes, place your mind into their universe, think about what that character would do, say or act and etc. It just pisses me off in a way that there are so many "gamers" that complain about this amazing series being too cringy and shit when in reality its not, the dialog in these games are as real as i could think of. With their area, their backstory etc, the dialog makes sense for it to be the way that it is. Yes there are moments where YOU can make a awkward moment within the games but awkward and cringe are not the same.

      What system? Because if it's in PC then you're probably going to have to think twice about that. Lots of controversy about it. Such as its DRM and last minute EULA etc.

      @fearlesswindows 7 лет назад

      Anthony Rosario there's this DRM called Denuvo it's currently the most hated DRM ever created in human history. It kills Hard Drives (SSDs) from what I heard. It requires a always online and require reactivation every few days. It's anti consumer and doesn't affect pirates at all and this was released last minute with its EULA (terms of agreement) .It also spies in you 24/7 and if it ever detects hardware changes it bricks your games until reactivation.
      I highly encourage you go to here for more info on how shit it is whyisdenuvobad.github.io
      Also AMD based graphics card won't even launch so people are going to have to wait a few days to get a patch and the PC specs requirements are insane. 150% more demanding then the original one. Also thanks to the crap DRM only Windows 7+ are supported unlike the old one which supported all operating systems including 32bit.

      It's not actually a prequel. It's a middle release between the original Life is Strange and Life is Strange 2 which will have a whole new story. This is a story game, not something to play just because it's fun to play like many other games which your arguement can make sense and often do, but to experience through the story like you would a TV series, but different.

    You're right about the hit the ground running part. I feel like the pacing is way too fast, we see the characters just meeting and then with in the 2nd time they meet chole is already liking rachel a lot, with in the same day they are already fighting and then they make up. this happens all in one day, also at the end there is this really weird part that feels like there is a scene cut from it. Chole is walking home and all the sudden it just jump cuts to rachel standing by a tree and Rachel looks at Chole and says "Glad you came' so did they just cut a scene out of the game where rachel texts chole or did they run into each other or what?

    This is a game I have been waiting for. And opening it up, I felt more connected to chloe. Reading her journals and listening to her dialogue, not only do you feel who she is. You get to see her understand herself. This (even though its the first episode) feels more emotional and overall better than LIS. Which is NOT an easy thing to say!

  • @PrinceMallow
    @PrinceMallow 7 лет назад +3

    I enjoyed the first episode of this and I'm looking forward to to remaining two and the bonus episode in the "Deluxe" pack. That said, I'm finding the relationship between Chloe and Rachel to feel kind of rushed here. It's like you're instantly supposed to buy that they're falling for each other from hanging out one afternoon. When you get into the fight with Rachel and have the option to say that you don't want to lose "this friendship" or "something more," I'm part of the 30% or so that opted to say friendship because it doesn't feel like anything more to me at this point with it not feeling rushed.
    The romance between Max and Chloe in the original, for example, had time to build where it felt natural. You get the chance to kiss Chloe in episode three, after the two of you have already gone on several escapades and had time for a relationship to really develop so it felt believable to have this kiss come up and make you think they could be something more than friends. In this it doesn't feel quite as natural and it feels like the game wants us to just buy that Chloe and Rachel were a thing because the original game hinted that they were. I understand that this series only has three episodes to work with as opposed to the original's five, but I'm hoping their relationship doesn't feel so rushed in the remaining episodes.
    Chloe and David's new voice actors also take some getting used to. I know why they have new voice actors, but it's still a bummer.
    That said, I did overall enjoy the episode. It's nice to be exploring Arcadia Bay before the events of the first game and fun to see how characters like Chloe, Frank, David, Nathan, and Victoria were before Max's arrival. And the D&D game you share with the two nerdy friends was probably one of my favorite parts in this episode.

    The main two problems I have with the game is the fact that it's a prequel and the change in Chloe's voice actor. But they're not major problems. I like the game so far, and I hope that the story gets better with each episodes and doesn't go a bit downhill on the last episode like the first one. It does suck to not basically be a "human time machine" but I think Chloe's capable of making up for it.

  • @ajzebadua
    @ajzebadua 7 лет назад +2

    I definitely think the game fits well into the universe, I think the only reason the game so far is successful with existing fans and new players is because Dontnod was heavily involved in its creation; something rather rare these days.
    Yeah, it's a little cringe at times, but, that's part of being a teenager. I think back to my time as a teenager (and I'm not from the part of the USA the game is set in) and my friends and I were hella cringe in retrospect. Hindsight's 20/20 though.
    I'd definitely recommend the game to anyone that likes a good story, I will say that both this prequel and the original touch on some heavy topics. Topics other studios don't have the balls to go near.

  • @nagatouzumaki3492
    @nagatouzumaki3492 7 лет назад +32

    I've played LiS and liked it, BTS on other hand was much weaker in my opinion.
    1) Chloe and Rachel aren't very likable characters even if they have some sympathetic features. Both are immature, reckless and selfish. In fact Rachael even tops Chloe in that regard in ending of the first episode. In first game we had Max that took role of level-headed character in contrast to Chloe. In the end it is hard for me connect to both characters due those traits.
    2) Conclusion of the story is pretty much that none of things we will do in this game will matter in the end because we know how it ends (at least those who played first game), unless they will allow for non-canon route. Only exception perhaps are fates of characters that weren't introduced in first game.
    3)Voice acting is different, at least for David and Chloe. It feels awkward to hear different voices to the same characters.

    • @yarpen26
      @yarpen26 7 лет назад +12

      1) The oldest trick in the book: earn your unpopular character some points from the fans by introducing an even bigger cunt than her.
      2) Am I the only one who thinks that Victoria or Nathan would have made a much better protagonist for a prequel? That way at least we wouldn't know from the get-go where the story is leading to and we would actually maybe learn what caused them to become so hostile to the outside world. I guess you could say that we do the same in regard to Chloe but come on, where exactly does she divert from the way she was portrayed in the original? It's exactly the same character through and through.
      3) While the girl who did Chloe was fine as far as acting alone goes in my book, the guy playing David obviously didn't try. Although Principal Wells gave probably the most wooden performance of them all.

    • @pluwo4
      @pluwo4 7 лет назад +2

      Prety much all voices were replaced, I was impressed by how I didn't notice. Chloe's voice grew on me, it's pretty good, even if it can't replace the original. This story takes place years before Rachel's death, we know she'll die, but that is not happening in this game.
      Overall I can't judge the game on one episode, I do think episode 1 of BTS was better than episode 1 of LiS.

    • @jellyfish1781

  • @jimmee72
    @jimmee72 7 лет назад

    Biggest gripe with the game right now is the new voice actors, it's just hard to love the characters when the person behind them is totally new and isn't giving the same feel to the character that the previous actor was. Chloe and Rachel sound practically the same, and also no one can replace Ashly Burch. However, the new voice actors aren't bad by any means, I just wish they were able to get back the originals.

    I hope, the Chloe's grafitti should mean something useful, later.
    It is still first episode, and Iove the story.
    But the game haven't give me like "wow" twist or surprises.
    And I hope I Will found that on the next episode.

There's something extraordinary about that. Idk if it was just color, or if it's sci fi, we'll have to wait and see. BUT if it is sci fi, Chloe must not catch on about it because she woulda brought it up in the first life is strange when max reveals her powers. If Chloe's seen something like that before I mean. But Rachel is special for sure, we just gotta wait and see how. But something is unusual with her.

    I am really surpised taht even without the main driving factor of the original, which was the time rewind, It's so so good! I want to talk to every NPC and explore rather than just going for the objective. I am a huge fan of the original, loved the time rewind and though cherished the relationship between Max and Chloe, wasn't a big fan of Chloe as an individual. She was way too cynical and even irritating at some points. So I was genuinely surprised how much I like playing as Chloe. The worst part about this game is waiting for episode 2

    I liked Life Is Strange first time around and now we have Before The Storm, I'm "hella" into it, if you enjoyed the first life is strange, you'll like this one, if you like games where your choice "matters" then you'll more than likely enjoy this game.
    It kinda has the Telltale Game vibe to it with how it looks, the art I find is really nice, not massively detailed like you'd find in open world games but it'll have detail in the smallest of places that make it great, like being able to see words on plaques and stuff even without clicking on them.
    So far I'm enjoying this game and can't wait for the second part to come out.

      For me I downloaded and played the original game and then bought the disc. Now I'm gonna do the same thing for this game. It's too good of a game to not buy on release but then again I always buy disc releases

    the one big flaw to Life Is Strange was the cringy dialogue (leading to the Life is Tumblr nickname) but honestly I don't think that takes away from how good the game was too much. The only thing that takes away from the game is the ending/endings. So if the only complaint about the prequel is the cringy dialogue, then sounds good to me

      HUNSTER 55 Yeah, its just a bunch of information that is not worth playable at all, but that's how prequels work, and why I hate them, I love Chloe tho so that's why I'm watching it

    I think the addition of the new talk back mechanic is really important and fun. It makes it different enough from the first game, gives Chloe some more character and freshens up the potentially dull gameplay. Imagine if all you could do was make decisions in this game. It would've been so much more dull and a lot less unique then the first game
