Max is cute

It was always bad

Max jerked off and that caused a butterfly effect making her shit out the sequel or something idk im tired man

Mysteries and waifus, even with the cringe writing I wish I could play it for the first time again

Atmosphere and the soundtrack

LiS2 was written by Commiefornian chicanos who's experience with Mexican culture ends at a food truck.

Life Is Strange 1 was bad

-best soundtrack
-consistent theme
-designers knew everything they wanted to be in the game
-cozy feel of what it was like to be in highschool with friends


Before the storm:
-somehow worse soundtrack despite bigger budget
-Jump Over Fence

Life Is Strange 2
-not even connected to the first game
-cash grab
-writers not even Mexican

Life is strange wasn't good
i'm afraid your taste is just bad

I cannot stress this enough.

>Why was Life is Strange so good
LOL this is nu-Zig Forums

you contrarians are so fucking boring and gay
why you even come to this thread if you dont even like the game?

girly game

Technically 2 was a much better game. The first one had atrocious pacing at times and felt really rushed towards the end.
Obvious I still much prefer 1 because of personal preference, but, you know. Technically. They didn't do a bad job with it. It's just that the first one catered to and created a fan base the second didn't appeal to.

The real bad game was that Before the Storm thingy. It combined the bad aspects of both main games.
And also had some literal-who mouthbreather voice best girl. Really dropped the ball there.

everyone that hated before the storm played it after LiS1
if you play BtS first and start with Farewell, the rollercoaster is pure kino all the way to the end of LiS1

It sounded almost the same as the original, I didn't quite noticed the difference at first

Lesbians good. Fags bad.

I felt like before the storm episode 1 & 2 were fine enough and showed why Amber was important to everyone. Then Episode 3 fucked everything up and just slammed a quick ending barely tying up the main plotline. Completely awful episode

Life is Strange is pretty okay if you just turn your brain off and don't take it too seriously, but 2 wasn't a dumb teen drama in the same way that I liked

I agree, on a personal level I was always kind of hoping that they tied Rachel into the supernatural aspect of the world and they really seemed to be hinting at that with the fire, it would have gone a long way towards explaining how the events of LiS1 got rolling. But then they just kind of ignored it or forgot about it?

What was the name of that vn or eroge that used the LiS characters?

I guess, but that seems like a way to spoil much of LiS1, namely all that mystery surrounding Rachel and meeting Chloe the first time. I'd imagine it'd feel bland if you basically knew everything about Chloe already when the game's designed to let you get to know her gradually.

I've heard this before but don't understand it. I thought the new girl was terrible, especially somewhere starting around the midpoint.
She starts way overdoing the shaky breathing thing. I thought it was extremely noticeable and annoying. Really ruined the whole game for me.

you can say the same with every single game or movie

Wasn't it called "Love is Strange" or something?

cute girls doing cute things

Literally the perfect formula

Chloe is cute! CUTE!

>I'd imagine it'd feel bland if you basically knew everything about Chloe already when the game's designed to let you get to know her gradually.
Totally the opposite for me, it felt even better to see her again after playing BtS and made me like her even more to the point of choosing without a doubt the bae ending
Playing BtS first also made it feel like LiS1 was actually Chloe story mostly, even if in LiS1 you play as Max. It all went around her, and I actually liked that a lot

In retrospect, the blue butterfly was criminally on the nose.

LiS2 had cute a girl too, though.

ignore all other opinions
lis1 was good because it had a fun mechanic (time manipulation) and BTS and LiS2 didn't. that's all there is to it. and Dontnod know this, that's why their new game seems to bring back a variation of the time manipulation mechanic back.
