Bought this for $20ish a week ago, no regrets. Your mileage may vary, but I found it to be both enjoyable and touching. More games need this level of character development.
i played the first episode a while back and thought it seemed really pretentious, all of the references to other things and the nerdy camera talk, it all seemed really fake and forced to me.
@mcfart: I think we look at it differently. Were you ever a teenager? Teenagers can be pretentious and self-important as hell, which can make them incredibly goofy. This is the sort of thing that a teenager would say, especially when trying to be "smart" about putting someone down.
It's only cringey if you want every character in media to be a perfectly timed smart ass who doesn't say silly stuff.
I find it charming in it's portrayal of these characters, because it makes them more real to me.
Playing through it now, in EP 4 and its gut wrenching, so much so that i dont even want to go to work, soon as i get home im going to binge play the rest of it. Great game.
I will say that the teenager dialogue is especially wonky in the early parts of the first episode, but it eases up and all the characters soon develop a naturalistic - if heightened - style of speaking. And looking back on it, I think it just adds to the entire experience of the game. Everyone, everywhere, speaks differently. Have hella fun with it.
