Choose Our Own Adventure!: 10/14/2015 (Life is Strange)

I vote to keep this game going. I love watching these kinds of games played by GBEast.

Life is Strange is easily in the running for my GOTY so far.

I'm so excited for the last episode to come out! Only a few days left!

Maybe I'll try out my steam controller with it.

Sweet.

yay

Super entertaining.

Great job guys.

OMG when I saw this on the front page my heart jumped because I thought it was a teaser/trailer for Ep. 5. Guess I gotta keep waiting. I'm really glad you guys are playing it. It's really something imo.

Fuck raw.

Yeah! So glad this happened! Please, please keep going, I'm very excited for you guys to see the rest of it.

What happened to playing Until Dawn?

The streams have been crossed. \m/ is the constant.

They finished it!

I'd like to watch more of this game. It's just weird enough that I want to see where it's going. I honestly can't tell if the writing is intentionally awkward and pretentious to reflect awkward, pretentious teens, or if it's an accident and the developers are just very French.

Life is Strange is definitely my GOTY and I would love for this to become a Playdate. Please play more!

@stevewinwood: I'm with you on the GOTY potential for Life is Strange. It's definitely in my top ten.

@stevewinwood: Same for me. What a treat this game has been this year.

I guess I'll put this in the backlog like the Until Dawn streams! Still have to play both.

Looking forward to it, though!

So this is that teen 'tude I've been hearing so much about.

This.

@bburch87: The idea that they might stop midway and start something else is disconcerting. Not just because I like this game a whole lot, but because I wouldn't want the Beast to fall into this pattern where they play 2/3 of games before the audience gets tired and they move on.

Looking forward to this! I should mention for anyone who hasn't seen it: the Quick Look of this game is great.

@treetrunk: Not too long to go. Ep 5 releases next week.

@poobumbutt: Totally agree. Unless the reception is overwhelmingly negative, I really think they should stay the course and go game-by-game, not feature-by-feature.

I'm not sure how I feel about this feature. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the actual stream. I just don't really like the idea of possibly getting 4 parts into this thing and then it switches to a different game.

@spazed545: They finished it

Loved the quick look of this game and loved the Until Dawn playthrough. Can only imagine this will be awesome as well!

This was great. I loved Austin basically telling Vinny not to Vinny up this game (I love the way Vinny plays games, I just thought that that moment was hilarious).

Everyone in this game could use a little Salvia D. It's legal, y'know.

I really want to beat this game on my own but I cant resist watching GBEAST play games. Maybe Ill buy the rest of it later just for support.

Man the dialog in this game is tough to listen to.

Glad you guys are playing this.

I remember the writing in this game really rubbing me the wrong the way when I saw the quicklook but I'm willing this see this through as a GB playthrough. Adventure/story-driven games are always fun w/ GBeast.

Yeah I know that's why I'm expecting a trailer for it.

I highly recommend you beat it on your own if you can.

So glad you guys are doing something with Life is Strange. I absolutely love this series, and if the last episode is as good as the first 4 it's easily in my top 5 GOTYs.

@stevewinwood: FYI I don't game on PC but the take photo moments that show up make more sense on console as that's what 95% of the achievements/trophies are connected to.

@treetrunk said:

On the scale of Alpha Protocol to Telltale game (with Until Dawn somewhere in the middle), where does this game fall on the divergence scale? That would probably affect if I purchase it now or wait for the next sale.

@spazed545: Pretty sure they got through all of it right? I haven't watched it since I still need to play it, while I'm waiting for episode 5 of this to come out next week.

This is my No. 2 GotY this year behind Witcher 3. It just takes the Telltale formula and expands on it so wonderfully. Also if anyone gives you grief about video games being all about shooting, you can show them this as while weapons are story elements, you do not actually shoot anyone.

I'm guessing SE is being their typical jerks about this as to why this was pulled from the YT page. My DSL connection is so slow the only video I can watch that doesn't stutter is YT or Hulu. IGN, Giant Bomb, etc. all run like crap on my connection. (Yes I change the settings to low and it barely helps.)

@spazed545: They finished Until Dawn.

Each episode will be a different game im hoping?

I've loved these GBEast playthroughs so far, but I'm kind of paranoid that they're heading toward the "YouTube Let's Player" slope.

That is just paranoia... right...?

And these are different than Drew's MGS series and Endurance Runs because these games are current and the playdates are so common, respectively.

I think it is definitely between UD and Telltale, probably pretty close to a Telltale game. What's different is that you choose what to say less but you explore and analyse stuff more. There is a stealth section in the game but I think that's as action-packed as it gets. Some of what the characters say will make you go :S but for me it is tolerable.

Greenmangaming.com currently has a 20% off voucher which you can use on anything, so... yah

Booyah! It's really cool to see all of the interactions that I missed and it also makes me realize that I should be using the rewind ability a lot more. I'm waiting to finish episodes four and five together. Hope to see the gangs reaction to some of the crazy shit that happens later.

I like Life is Strange, but the thing has been on my PS4 since the beginning of this year. While I am somewhat excited to see what's next in the last episode, I'm also ready to finish it and take it off my system. I'm surprised people chose this as something they want them to play, that's cool though. This is fun, and funny to watch.

Thanks, fellas! I say stick with this.

I really enjoyed Vinny's reaction to the rewind time game mechanic. I don't know if Austin or Alex told him beforehand off screen, but it actually seemed really genuine that he didn't know that it was a major part of the game.

PUMPED!

Awesome! Looking forward to watching you guys play this huge disappointment of a game.

Oh wow this game is really cool. You guys should definitely keep playing it!

I want you guys to keep going, especially since the final episode is out next week. I prefer to watch you guys play narrative choice games because then it's more of a shared experience and creates interaction between you rather than one person playing and 2 people watching.
