I like it, but episode five sucked ass. Ended up being a time fuck up (Which are interesting, but alas I don't want to spend the entire episode over it), and both the endings sucked. Basically telling you "Fuck you" for choosing one and "this ending is only ending you should care about" for the other.
We weren't planning to make him hate LIS. We just said why we think Max and Chloe are overrated in the "Characters you think are overrated" thread, that convinced him why LIS is hated.
I love Life Is Strange but I'll be honest and say that Episode 5 was not my favorite Episode... in fact when Episode 5 of Life Is Strange and Tales from the Borderlands released, I was so sure that I'd like Life Is Strange more.... but Tales from the Borderlands won me over(and I didn't actually love it as much as I do allot of games during the first four episodes).
I'm sorry but I felt the need to say this - whether a choice matters is entirely subjective as when something matters, it's often due to the relationship of the subject with the individual. In other words, whether a choice 'matters' is subjective, whether it has an effect on the story is objective. Despite Life Is Strange's Endings, it's choices still has effects throughout the game, which have proved to be more or less menial outcomes in comparison to any TTG game might I add.
I tried to like it but I have too many reasons why I hate it:
* Season Finale
* Max x Chloe
* Choices don't matter at all
* Both End… moreings
* No QTEs. You can't even non-canonlly die (I wanted to see Max having her head bashed by Jefferson but NO, game forced me to rewind)
* Boring protagonist
* The game focuses on the story more than the choices you make just like Beyond Two Souls
* The fanbase
* Bad voice acting (Except Chloe, Kate and Jefferson)
* Sloppy Rewind Time mechanism
* Chloe, one of the most overrated characters who don't deserve love
* Terrible Villain (Though I think he had such a great voice acting)
* The lip syncing... so bad, so cartoonish.
EDIT: I'm gonna admit what I liked about this game
* Kate Marsh (She was a very well developed character, she is the only character who I liked so much, her suicide situation was so well written and she is the best determinant character of this game)
* The rewind po… [view original content]
I liked it: good soundtrack, well developed characters, (overall) good story, etc. It was a good game that could've been GREAT: a wasted potential basically. Sometimes I think the game gets too much praise from the fanbase and too much hate from non-fans.
So one person has an opinion different from you with a negative towards Telltale Games, and that means everyone is forgetting about Telltale forever and it automatically means the game is bad? Yeah, I think saying that is a bit dumber than thinking LiS should have won GOTY. Also, just to say so...
Dying Light was considered a disappointment, Fallout 4 was exactly like Fallout 3 in too many ways, Until Dawn is just a movie, Batman Arkham Knight was... ugh... And Metal Gear Solid V is Konami, and nobody wants to give an award to Konami. Tales should have won it though, Tales was pretty sick.
Don't spend your time shitting on Life is Strange or people who happen to enjoy it when you could spend it picking apart bigger pieces of shit that actually deserve the harshness of your criticism...
You wanna talk about a shitty game where nothing matters and everything is boring? Look no further than The Order. This game makes Life is Strange look like a god damn masterpiece.
I heard someone who liked LIS more than TWD, he/she wanted Watchmojo to put LIS as number 1 in their "Top 10 Episodic Games" instead of TWD … moreand said LIS should have won the GOTY 2015. Those are the dumbest things I have ever heard. LIS winning GOTY 2015? Are you serious? There were a lot of better games than this crap in 2015. For example: Dying Light, Tales from the Borderlands, Fallout 4, Just Cause 3, Until Dawn, Batman Arkham Knight, Metal Gear Solid V Phantom Pain etc.

I enjoyed it up until the finale episode. It felt like everything the game was trying to do was thrown out the window just to get the game over and done with.
I liked Episode 1, great start. Episode 2, the graph curved down a little bit. Episode 3, graph went slightly up. Episode 4? Shit. If that was the end (minus the cliffhanger) I would have genuinely liked the game. Solid 7/10 at this point. But then the abortion-attempt known as episode 5 came strolling along.
Woah, what went wrong? For starters? Characters. I felt it was out of character that Max could appeal to Warren AND no matter what with Chloe. In other words Max doesn't strike me as a ho, one or the other only would have been fine. And Chloe insisting she wanted to let herself die to save the city she's constantly talked about hating? Enough said. Jefferson? The cliche voice and character suddenly turns darker when revealed to be an antagonist. Oh, what about the other characters? Lol, exactly. Where WERE the other characters?
Secondly, a dream sequence taking almost half of the episode. Just... Why? What logic went through the Square Enix script author's heads when they thought "Hey, let's have Max take a trip down memory lane and include an unnecessary and an incredibly tedious stealth portion for nearly half of our finale" ??? There goes story development time, people!
A final aspect that I hated: Universe hopping with photos. People constantly complained about Episode 5 invalidating all choices. All Max has to do, if she feels like it, is: walk up to a random picture she took, change something little, and wait. Then, if she doesn't like the new timeline given? Don't worry! That's why she has the photo! She goes back to the same picture's setting and makes sure everything happens as her normal. And I hate it.
It was a strangely interesting game. I thought playing as a typical female teenager would be boring, but they managed to pull it off well. I really like the whole exploring mechanic too (which i wish Telltale did more of). There was always tons to look at. It did help give me something to do between the wait time for telltale episodes as well.Overall, id give the whole season 1 a 7 /10. I do hope they make a season 2!
I thought it was pretty bad, but I understand this has a lot to do with the teen soap opera story and that other people may like that. The stuff I really don't get though is saying it was Game of the Year. I mean, really?
People have different opinions on what "Game of the Year" is or should be. LIS actually did get named GOTY by some places and nominated in others(BAFTA for example). Kinda like how most called Witcher 3 GOTY but somehow FO4 beats it out. There are a shit ton of people in the world and our opinions will differ greatly.

Pretty much every reason except number 5, they told me. I never saw that until they told me about it.
If you don't mind me asking, who are those two friends?

Not played it, was on sale a while ago, I probably would play but don't have time for other games atm

Where is that gif from? How is that guy beeing so calm with this wound?
It was ok. Not as good as telltales games but ok.
I rest my case.
Because he's a ghost.

Well I should hope the sequel is better because no more Max Caulfield.
I loved it first time around because it was fresh and new but when I replayed it, I started to see the flaws.
I really like Max just because of how adorable and stupid she is.
Um... it's Caulfield... minor thing but still...
))))))
Oops, my bad

That's my rant. Go ahead and shit on me.

"Hella".
