Ms. Telle was kind enough to sit down and speak about her personal experiences and struggles voicing Max in Life is Strange, one of the most gripping experiences in gaming this year
Spotify Discover? I barely know ‘er.
Less mechanical and more emotional, Life is Strange's framework can be found across dozens of games this past ten years.
I wish it had been more influential within it's own franchise, other than the first game it's been one terrible game after another, at this point it looks like they had a stroke of luck and nothing else. Also, most of what LiS does had already been done on Telltale games about your actions having consequences in the development of the story, the best part was the time manipulation gameplay, that was fantastic, but again it's not too dissimilar of Prince of Persia time manipulation on the original trilogy.
Is this a joke? LiS wasn't a bad game but it didn't really do anything that Telltale hadn't already done before it. And to insinuate that without LiS we wouldn't have gotten Disco Elysium, Baldur's Gate 3, etc, is just ridiculous. I get it, you love the game and that's fine, but don't make it out to be more important than it is. I'm not saying it didn't influence anything at all, it just wasn't remotely to the degree the author is insinuating.
No one at Larian played LIS, they're too busy playing DnD and dueling with fake swords in their sparetime
the og ?
maybe for the time when it came out. but not cause of the possible lesbian romance.
There are many 2025 gaming anniversaries to celebrate, including Life is Strange, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and Super Mario Bros.
Max is a very special character. Even though I am a male, I can totally connect with Max's experiences as a student. What I really appreciate about Life is Strange is the believability of the characters. None of them feel overly cliched if that makes sense. I really hope this game starts a trend of more female protagonists. It's just refreshing. It's very cool seeing the actress' face too--cutie.
If you haven't played through episode 4, there are some minor spoilers in the article, not a criticism, just a fair warning for my fellow n4g readers. Hannah Telle is totally on my radar--fantastic voice actress.
