Yea, GMG just keeps giving me a 404. :/
It's a game about a girl and exploring her life. It also manages to have diverse background characters of all shapes, sizes, and colors.
I'll stop piping in, but the dialogue is kind of ass so far. The journal is pretty good though.
And the lip syncing doesn't exist.
Also this game is trying really fucking hard to convince me that these are teenagers. That Kate girl's notebook isso blatant about her depression, that I'm kinda grossed out about how heavy-handed her depression and suicidal thoughts are. She has it out in the open with a drawing of a noose hanging from a tree, a pool of blood underneath it, and the words SO LONELY below all of that.
If this game didn't have voice acting and we had to read text, and the graphics weren't trying to simulate a realistic world, then I think I'd like that better.
So far, I think the only reason I like this game is that it has a female protagonist. And that's it.
So you're saying if the game wasn't this game you'd like it more?
Huh? I'm saying if the game didn't have voice acting, I'd like it more.
That and better writing.
Yeah, you're saying if the game looked different, didn't have voice acting and had better writing you'd like it more. Sounds like a whole different game to me.
Yeah seriously. The correlation between the thumbs-down count and the amount of bashing the game gets for 'pandering to tumblr' is noticeable.
It has been up on eu psn for hours!
I'm digging it. Yeah, the dialogue can be corny but they're mostly kids, and a lot of pretentious and /or nerdy kids at that, so it's not really bothering me. I can see why the Twin Peaks thing comes up more now given the Rachel character seems like a pretty obvious Laura Palmer riff, and there's clearly some creepy stuff going on in the town.
"Im not sure if theres an audio version of the uncanny valley the hypothesis that suggests lifelike-but-unnatural features can cause revulsion in an audience but if such a term exists, it would most surely apply to the dialog of Life Is Strange."
I told you folks this game reeks of Uncanny Valley.
Huh? I'm saying if the game didn't have voice acting, I'd like it more.
That and better writing.
Thought you said you were gonna stop piping in.
Eh, never knew any kids talk like this, pretentious or not. If there was a game trying too hard to convince me that I'm seeing and listening to teenagers, I think this would be it - even moreso than Persona 3 lol.
Yeah, Rachel is definitely Laura Palmer.
Personally, I like exploring most of all so far.
yeah look at this:

Voice acting spoilers... man, people really can complain about anything on the Internet
