...How. Just how can you not like the first half of ep3. Please explain in detail. also, Lisa is the plant in your room. You kill it from watering it too much or not watering it enough. I just generally don't like the moments dealing with the characters because I hate most of them, and those that I don't dislike as characters, I dislike due to atrocious dialogue, incredibly poor voice acting, and animation that makes me think that the devs weren't even trying and makes everyone look really weird when they're talking. It's like the opposite of 11/22/63. I loved all the character driven moments in that novel, but.... eh... no, wait, I loved the time travel stuff, too. So... I guess it's more accurate to say that I kind of see Life is Strange like 11/22/63, but it failed half of what both of those tried to do. Also, the last scene really reminded me of 11/22/63 (basic premise of that novel is that no matter how you change the past, it's always bad. Changing the past tears at the fabric of reality, so even though you may stop a murder or something, something far worse will happen because that person was supposed to die). I don't find any redeeming quality in the interactions with Max and Chloe because I seriously dislike Chloe as a character. So... yeah, that's why I didn't like it. eh. I guess that's reasonable. And yeah, a lot of the dialogue is hella cringeworthy. As for the talking animations, I honestly don't really notice as much as people seem to, possibly because Bethesda games do it even worse and I've played a lot of FO3 and TESV. |

Haha! You and me both, man! I didn't kiss Chloe either. I was trying to stay dedicated to Warren <3  I ship Max and Warren so I didn't want to go behind his back. |

Okay, you've made your point. Oh and Zyphon. The other choices were to either take or leave the handicapped fund, and if either Frank or Chloe has the gun from Episode 2. Of course, if you tried to shoot Frank, then the choice is automatically made. |

As for the talking animations, I honestly don't really notice as much as people seem to, possibly because Bethesda games do it even worse and I've played a lot of FO3 and TESV. It's not really just the talking animations, but in general how they're animated. Their facial expressions don't match, when Max is suppsoed to be yelling it's exactly the same as when she's talking normally... And oh God, the eyes. Even though the models are really good and it's got great art direction, the animation alone gives me an uncanny valley vibe and makes a lot of stuff seem... insincere. And the voice acting especially... I'd take the really lifeless performances of some of the Dishonored VAs over this any day. I mean, they seem into it, but for some characters, their voices just irritate me so bad, and the delivery is SO. BAD. Like, this is stuff I could ignore, and I try to ignore... but it's so huge a flaw and pushed into my face... That being said, I love the time travel and mystery stuff. And some characters are fairly likeable. Despite his VA being one of the worst, I actually kind of like Warren, and I really like Kate and Mr. Jefferson. Max is alright as a protagonist, I suppose. |

Anyway, I find myself liking it a little less... but I'm still going to play Episode 4. And 5, may as well say that now. Unless 4 is just irredeemable, I'll play Episode 5.

To be honest, the first half of this episode was so disappointing that I basically made a post on tumblr that was something along the lines of "I like the idea of the story but hate the execution and I'm not sure I'll play the other episodes", but the last few minutes basically guaranteed I'll be playing Episode 4. It's like with each episode, in general, I think I like it less, but there's something right at the end that always makes me go, "...well now I've got to play the next one". Choices: I shut my playstation off and forgot my choices already. :/
I know that I didn't kiss Chloe(me and like, 17% or something. I think it was higher than that, maybe?)
I sided with David.
Didn't kill the dog(does it die if you throw the treat towards the street?)
And uh... something... else.... at the end? Um.... Yeah, I forgot.
And I know the minor choices were like, "you killed Lisa", and I'm just like, "who was Lisa?"
I missed a ton of stuff this episode, and I don't think I'll go back to play it. Same way to be honest, I don't find the "slang talk" endearing, and I don't like Chloe, I know most people do, but she just annoys me with how much of a punk she can be, I mean Christ, will two minutes to talk to my suicidal friend kill you! Also yes, the dog will die if you toss the bone, why anyone would want to do that is beyond me. Actually the dog isn't shown to be either dead or alive, he's either seriously injured or dead. |

Well, that is a marketing idea for 11/22/63, its Life is Strange but better. Yeah I love the time travel aspect, its pretty cool, but I just don't like a lot of the characters and some of them are just insane. Okay, no principle I know would be that casual about the possibility of a student carrying a gun, I know the family is rich, but that wouldn't help much. Maybe its different in France, but in the US its really a no tolerance attitude. |

Maybe its different in France, but in the US its really a no tolerance attitude. Eh, well it's really not similar at all. I mean, first off, the guy just goes back to 1958, he can't control time. also, most of the characters are adults. Although, at one point, a lot of it takes place in a school because the main character was an English teacher, and gets a job in a school in the past. Also, it's more about stopped Lee Harvey Oswald from killing JFK, not some weird mystery and disasters and such. But it is kind of similar in that it flip-flops between the characters and the main plot about time-travel, and in the regard, it is "Life is Strange, but better". |

I could have sworn that the dog gets run over and clearly killed, could be wrong, it has been a little bit. |

It is a really good book, I'd seriously recommend it to just about anyone. I mean, it actually made me cry at two different times near the end. It is, without compare, the most absolutely human book I've ever read. It feels real, and it has some of the best and most relatable characters I've ever read in a novel. And the time-travel stuff is handled better than in any other story about time travel I've watched/read/played. I mean, Life is Strange is good with the time-travel, but I just like 11/22/63 more because throughout the whole thing you've got this guy from modern times living in the late 50's/early 60's, and it's just done very well. |

Convinced me, i'll go order that on Amazon right now. |
