I love this game and so I might as well type about it.
(since this blog is like so untouched these days)
I came upon this game when I was bored, procrastinating as usual, and chillin on youtube. I decided to watch some old favourites that I knew made me laugh, and checked up on any new stuff since I hadn't in a while. I watched some game-plays then found Life is Strange. wow this sounds cheesy. Anyways I LOVED it !!! ~~~ So yes, thanks to youtube and laziness I got this game. I got it straight away when I got a new comp, which was like at episode 4 release.
I thought the game was gorgeous, full of awkwardly wonderful characters, and it looked so fun when I saw you could sometimes be either a feisty mean biatch or an understanding nice friend. This was cool because when I'm playing other games sometimes I wish I could choose what they say in certain situations. All the time I want to play as a girl. Also, the best thing, I love stuff with main characters that I definitely am not, but could totally relate to in certain ways!
I wasn't completely paying attention to the game at the start so at first I thought it was some kind of weird college setting and that people were still acting like high school kids. (I don't really know how the American or non-Australian education systems work at all, except for when I schooled for a short while in PH where college is like an extension of High School for most teens ((from what I see from my friends facebook posts)) Anyways, I could relate to the education stuff, but I found the dorm setting to be really interesting because I've never been in it. So yes I really loved the setting of this game, really mysterious and new to me, but still slightly familiar.
Then the music is like the BEST! I mean It's not music I would listen to a lot myself, but I really enjoy it and it suits the game really well. I've listened to some soundtracks and playlists, and do go back to them occasionally. However some songs I can't listen to because they are sad and I have to really be in the mood for them.
The next part I love is Chloe. Chloe's the best. I actually didn't have an opinion of her at first and thought she's just some cool looking random (yes again I wasn't paying att. I didn't even realise the kid photo in the dorm, the bathroom girl and truck girl were one. sometimes IDEK. my brain is just ugh). I had no idea the whole game would be revolving around saving her life so many times! Anyways, she's cool, I love her, I understand her character, etc, blahblahblah.
Okay now maybe I will make a long boring post about what I think of some characters.
Moving on, like straight away, after binge playing three episodes in a row, I became super attached to the game. I was probably just really bored with real life at this point, I remember just wanting to say fuck it all and leave for another country. But I had to finish this semester fuuuuuuaark. I guess that's another thing that I could relate to in the game. From Chloe there was a sense of wanting to escape and leave home to start a new life.
I even continued watching other Let's plays, cos I love wasting my time like that. Aaaand I could see how other people reacted to things, and how other 'choices' worked out.
I did find one Let's play that I COULDN'T FUKN STAND cos they hated on Chloe so much like I just wanted to hit them on the head ! I understood where they were coming from, since Chloe is not typically nice or mature(?), and seems quite tough/stubborn, but she did grow up with Max, and I think they're quite comfortable with each other even though the 5 year thing. They kept sounding nasty and I was just thinking 'have you girls ever known people other than those exactly like you', then I left them straight away. Well anyway, I guess everyone's different.
So since I did get emotional at the ending, I also wondered what it would have been like if I had played the game from the beginning of it's release. damn no way
