I feel like they maybe dropped too many cool ideas from the first episode, like managing money, food, and just small interactions with Daniel like helping him get down a high ledge, and how all that feeds back to teaching Daniel how to behave. But that being said, I still Loved it, even more than the first game. They truly went all in on making this brotherhood work, and I'd say they succeeded.
I agree game had so many missed opportunities like Mushroom if Mushroom's death was on ep5 it would have effect me way more than now it did but still game was really great i liked it way more than first one too.
The fact that they were still tracking and adding money throughout the game but they never had you spend it again was strange. Going into that store and having to choose what you thought mattered was amazing - the fact that they immediately threw it away and both the decisions in the store and out of it didn't matter again outside of their influence on Daniel was a bummer.
i stopped the video just under 2 minutes in because i haven't finished the game yet; but huber thanking the devs made me tear up instantly. Love & Respect guys. i'll be back to watch the video when i'm finished with the game
Dropping a like but will watch this at a later time when i can dedicate my full attention to it! Can’t wait to check this out. Life is Strange 2 but mainly Sean and Daniel will forever have a place in my heart. From the very first second I just cared so much about them, their wellbeing and their happiness. I’m so glad Easy Allies gives the game the attention it deserves ❤️
I haven't played this game yet, and I'm reading some comments saying that this game is anti-white. Am I safe in assuming that this is because the game is political in nature (which is something the developers have said on record that they will never shy away from) and maybe isn't completely fawning over white people?
Yes, it's just people overreacting because the game dared to say "racism is bad". That reaction is specially baffling considering that even if there's a couple of white racist douchebags in the game, there's also a black antagonist and a lot of the people who help the protagonist along the way are also white.
@@federicomachado811 Gotcha, so it's another situation where the developers can throw a dozen non-white villains at the player and all's fine and dandy, but a few white racist antagonists show up instead and the game is suddenly anti-white and trying to push an agenda. I should probably hurry up and play this game.
Is a master piece, it just tries to portrait how even light skin half white half mexican kids have to deal with racism.... I dunno why there are some white folks in the US hurt or threatened by that... I guess they are ignorant enough to think that is the norm of being white which at the same time I think is offensive for racist white folks trying to depict the image of all white people as racist, the Director and the writer are truly a big example of how you can be white and still be human enough to understand some other people struggle
Wonderful Interview! Bravo à toute l'équipe de Don't Nod et merci d'être venu au studio d'EZA, c'est génial d'avoir des détails venant des développeurs.
Er... I can’t agree with that. LIS is a tiny little “post-adventure game” that gets talked about alongside AAA titles. It’s exactly rated where it should be. It’s a niche game running with the big boys.
The first game is still my favourite (game of all time actually) but I will not hesitate to say LIS2 is a better game. They were more ambitious, took more risks and it paid off big time. Whatever LIS3 ends up being I'll be playing it all day one as it comes out. Everyone at DONTNOD should be proud.
I haven't played any of these games. But my "like" goes to Easy Allies and their continuing tendency to produce great content. From GameTrailers till now. Thank you for the interview.
I feel like the lack of the time mechanic really hurt this season (and Before the Storm). It was a mechanic that really elevated the impact of choices and made for some really fun and unique scenarios that are just completely absent in the later games. I liked some of the ideas in LiS2, like shaping Daniel, but none of it really comes together in a fulfilling way. I think not focusing on a recurring cast also really hurt the experience. The final episode spends a big chunk of time saying goodbye to people we’ve never even met before and it just feels unearned and empty. I appreciate the attempt to try something new, but just didn’t really work for me unfortunately.
Not sure what you mean, you spend like 5 minutes saying goodbye in episode 5. I agree that the time mechanic was great but like they say in this video - that power was specifically for Max and a metaphor for her own story.
pooty195 You spend like 10 minutes saying goodbye to David alone. That is definitely not a five minute section. It’s just bad storytelling and a complete waste of time when we have no connection to any of their relationships. You can also easily shift the story and keep the time mechanic without retreading the same ground. Stripping it and not replacing it with an equally interesting game mechanic just leaves them feeling overly generic.
Alsop's Gaming we just disagree then. Personally I was very interested in seeing how the boys and Karen had been living. And if you weren’t interested in talking to David I’m guessing you didn’t play the first game..I’m pretty sure you can just skip saying goodbye to Joan and the couple anyway
Or because the writing was really bad, and politics were hamfisted up players throats, not subtle in any way. Season 1 was fun, but everything after that completely fell flat for me, s1 had political themes as well btw.
KbM I don’t get why it matters what reasons people have for disliking a video. That’s kinda the point of it, they dislike something about it. I can’t recall any time I disliked a video, but why do people care? I don’t think this game is all that great, and not because of politics. It’s got no nuance in its storytelling and some of it’s writing is downright cringy. And as a gay man I don’t like how they handled some of the LGBT themes.
I just cant keep myself motivated to keep playing life is strange the first one as much as I've heard good things about it and love time travel. I just dont know why. I may have made it to the 3rd episode the last time I played
@@InnerRise yeah! i'd honestly recommend going back and finishing it because i stopped playing at ep 3 and picked it up again a year later and still think about the twist sometimes
This game has some of the most ridiculous, forced outcomes and crises in ANY video game. I feel the heart, and it's one of those things you can kind of get yourself in the mood for... butt it's a pretty poor game. I'm noddin' on Dontnod
Well, playing from the perspective of characters of a minority that Trump actively disparages on a regular basis, the game is probably not going to have the highest opinion of him or his policies. As far as "anti-white" goes, there's plenty of white characters that are shown in a positive light (Cassidy, Jacob, the grandparents, Karen (eventually), Brody, Chris, folks in the camp, etc) compared to ... what, that one asshole at the rest stop and the two assholes at the border? So I don't know what to tell you there. It stands to reason that nasty racist people are going to be antagonistic to the minority protagonists, and to pretend these types of people don't exist is naive at best and delusional at worst.
If you are asking a serious question, allow me to give you a serious answer: it’s because it’s made by people who aren’t white Americans. White Americans telling themselves self-delusions about how they are the smartest, most talented, most virtuous, most beautiful, hardest working people God ever created doesn’t really have the same luster when it’s told to people who ARENT white Americans. Is that really surprising? Is that not expected? President Trump tells you that people respect him. The video footage shows that they laugh at him. President Trump says America is more respected. The truth is that America is less respected and more hated. The entire world feels differently about The United States and President Trump than what he tells you. This is because he is a proven liar who lies about anything and everything. Life Is Strange is just more proof, in an avalanche of proof, about how the rest of the world does not respect or agree with President Trump or his leadership of the United States. And neither do many, many Americans.
I feel like they maybe dropped too many cool ideas from the first episode, like managing money, food, and just small interactions with Daniel like helping him get down a high ledge, and how all that feeds back to teaching Daniel how to behave.
But that being said, I still Loved it, even more than the first game. They truly went all in on making this brotherhood work, and I'd say they succeeded.

I noticed that too. Loved the money idea. But still enjoyed.

Going into that store and having to choose what you thought mattered was amazing - the fact that they immediately threw it away and both the decisions in the store and out of it didn't matter again outside of their influence on Daniel was a bummer.
Omg thank you for this! This series literally means that world and having the developers here to talk about it with Huber and blood is amazing!
I feel like im the only one who likes Life Is Strange 2 more than 1.
nah me too
No. LiS 2 is one of the best games ever made
What a treat! Thank you :) Big hug to Michael, this can't have been easy, not matter how nice and meaningful L&R

It makes me feel better, having finished LiS 2, that these developers are this nice and cool
This is awesome ! And Huber is clearly so fanstruck; it's amazabaaaalllzzz !!!
One of the most criminally underrated games of our generation
Er... I can’t agree with that. LIS is a tiny little “post-adventure game” that gets talked about alongside AAA titles. It’s exactly rated where it should be. It’s a niche game running with the big boys.
@@JazGalaxy I agree.
@@JazGalaxy I'm pretty sure he meant LiS 2
This is really cool!
Oké I will play captain spirit before the end of the year, I promise

Dropped alike but will come back, once I finished it.
Yeah great interview, good questions, great answers. Sorry about your brother
Fantastic interview. It’s nice getting insight into their design process and how they shaped certain things. ❤️

Cool dudes
2 views 1 thumbs down? Someone really doesn't like Life Is Strange 2. 😩
So many dislikes all because there were political themes
KbM that’s so pathetic. This is such a jolly video, too. Huber’s mention of his brother at the beginning made me quite emotional
Or because the writing was really bad, and politics were hamfisted up players throats, not subtle in any way. Season 1 was fun, but everything after that completely fell flat for me, s1 had political themes as well btw.
@@1 so dislike the video despite the interview itself being good?

@@olibigbird Just curious why some would dislike a video not based on the video itself as they're generally meant for feedback
;)
I liked the first one more, I can't wait for the 3rd game
I just cant keep myself motivated to keep playing life is strange the first one as much as I've heard good things about it and love time travel.
I just dont know why.
I may have made it to the 3rd episode the last time I played
InnerRise atleast play episode 4 because that’s what the previous 3 eps are building to and there’s some story bombshells
@@SuperJimJam I was waiting for the bombshells. I heard how emotional people got. I was wondering when they'd pop up
@@InnerRise yeah! i'd honestly recommend going back and finishing it because i stopped playing at ep 3 and picked it up again a year later and still think about the twist sometimes

Should’ve asked them why there was so much anti Trump and anti white propaganda in it.
Trump being a laughable and embarrassing president could be the reason....
The president currently being impeached being criticized? How dare they.
Well, playing from the perspective of characters of a minority that Trump actively disparages on a regular basis, the game is probably not going to have the highest opinion of him or his policies. As far as "anti-white" goes, there's plenty of white characters that are shown in a positive light (Cassidy, Jacob, the grandparents, Karen (eventually), Brody, Chris, folks in the camp, etc) compared to ... what, that one asshole at the rest stop and the two assholes at the border?
