Juzota Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I've really enjoyed the series so far, so I'm interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post IntroPhenom Posted March 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 11, 2021 I would be interested to see the series take a different direction, like a Life is Expected kind of thing. Couple people, sitting around, doing nothing in particular. Mail comes. Someone's dog barks. PB&J. That sort of thing. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trini Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I never got around to getting the second one yet, but the prequel and the original were very well done, IMO. If they can recreate that same magic, I'm all in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MarcusPunisher Posted March 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2021 LiS 2 was a complete garbage with some of the most terrible writing I've seen in a while and worst game I've played last year. They would have to completely change the writing staff, but that's not gonna happen and I haven't heard good things about Tell Me Why. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they go with a female lead again this time, as I will certainly admit that Dotnod do seem to have more of a knack for writing interesting female characters than male ones - but I still thought the writing in LiS2 was good. That may be more down to the difference in styles of the original 2 stories and the sequel though - LiS and Before the Storm were very introverted stories dealing with the girls internal struggles, whereas LiS2 was more about the wider world, as seen through the eyes of the boys, so they were by necessity more cyphers than the rounded characters of the first games I’m surprised it felt bad to you, honestly. You played Resident Evil 6 right before, and Immortals: Fenyx Rising shortly after it. I would think the writing in LiS2 would have felt like Tolstoy by comparison!

There's a difference when the writing is essentially the only aspect of the game. *Most* games have terrible writing in my opinion, but that's OK because they have other things going for them. They have interesting gameplay mechanics, a world to explore, and whatever else. However, if that storyline is the focal point of the game (Telltale games, LiS, Quantic Dream games, etc) and it's *still* terrible, then there's a big problem.

Sikutai Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I hope it will be more like the first game. Life is Strange is one of my best gaming experiences in my life and I found Life is Strange 2 a disaster. I have to force myself to play through the second part. The prequel in between was okay, but not really necessary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quink666 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I really hope we get a female protagonist this time. I much prefer that in story driven games like these. LiS 2 wasn’t bad but it suffered from what so many other games have. An annoying child. Daniel wasn’t as annoying as A.J in the final season of TWD but he still was annoying af. First season and Before the Storm was great and hopefully this one will be as well. With some luck we won’t have to wait 4 months between each episode like in LiS 2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
communistwookiee Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) Think it would be safe to assume that it is from Before the Storm devs Deck Nine. They've been working on a new game for Square Enix since Sept. 2018. Side note, when is Squeenix gonna show of more of Babylon's Fall?

Maybe check the dates next time on when I obtained the trophies. At least RE 6 gives me an enjoyable gameplay, unlike LiS 2, which has none. And I'm sorry, but Immortals: Fenyx Rising is WAY more enjoyable that LiS 2. That game brought me nothing but misery playing it and Immortals was actual enjoyable open world game + I am a sucker for Greek Mythology so that's a bonus. Not saying that the game had amazing writing, but it was much more tolerable than LiS 2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should no one ever be happy anything is being made, or anticipate anything, because it isn’t guaranteed to be good?

Do you go practically, like, using a rocketship or some kind of reality distortion field, or do you go for the more metaphysical method, like taking peyote? Personally, I am not a minority in america, a fugitive or related to a young child with extra-sensory powers, so I have little context for how a trip across a racist underbelly of America under those conditions would be, but I found my trip with the brothers to be a pretty interesting and engaging affair.

I don’t need to spend more time analysing the fine details of your profile, simply to make the evident point that you have played many games with downright bad writing around the time you played LiS2.

Both those games have appallingly poor scripts, and while Immortals may have some good things going for it outside of the laughable script, RE6 is an unconscionable piece of garbage on all levels - one that required an entire change in game design to rescue the franchise afterwards.

No one is saying you have to like LiS2, but calling everyone who did ‘insane’ is not productive. Neither is going after the IQ’s of the writers, simply because (I suspect) you don’t like their politics. If you hated it, okay. No problem - but speaking in absolutes about how much “it sucked” (rather than just how much you personally hated it) on an anticipation thread is gauche. You clearly have no stake in a Life is Strange 3, as you are obviously not going to play it, so your comment was obviously just made to coax a response, and you got one.

PhantomFear94 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 LIS was really good, but I didn't enjoy LIS2 like some others didn't. However, Tell Me Why was very decent and I enjoyed it. I feel LIS2 would have benefitted from being a 3-part rather than a 5-part as the game was insanely bloated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if that might actually be true of all of them - Personally I enjoyed all 3 games to varying degrees, but Before the Storm was without a doubt my favourite and the one I felt the most emotionally invested in, and I wonder how much it being a tighter, 3- part story had to do with that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of the problem with 2 is the insane length between episodes. With Tell Be Why, it was all done within 3 weeks, took 15 months for 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
