Life is Strange: Before the Storm is bad game with bad writing and characters.

Yui_Suzumiya2091d ago

One of the best PS4 games I've played. Original is still the best though as well as the #2 best game of all-time.

coolbeans2091d ago

Ah man! You beat me to it. :P

It's a great coincidence to see that pic + title pop up.

-Foxtrot2091d ago

Cringe worthy dialogue

I don’t get how any one likes these games

coolbeans2091d ago

Yeah, yeah. There's no one who's shy about those moments of seeing thirty-somethings trying to capture millennial high-schoolers. But at least Season 1 has heart and ambition. It's a game containing an apocalyptic doomsday, time travel, and some dark material but ultimately centers it on a coming of age tale for the two leads. There's more going on there that's worth exploring.

-Foxtrot2090d ago (Edited 2090d ago )

It's not that it's just everyone acts its the best thing ever, same thing that happened with Walking Dead

People putting it up there with story telling found in games like Bioshock, Uncharted, The Last of Us, Mass Effect etc but at least at the end of the day those other games were full on AAA games where you got full on involved with the story, not just watch, point and click on repeat.

Yui_Suzumiya2089d ago

Best. Game. Ever

Needs no further explanation

coolbeans2085d ago (Edited 2085d ago )

Oh man...I still have time?!?!? I honestly didn't intend to have this last-minute type of response to this. I did know about your 2nd reply earlier, but it fell to the wayside in favor of other stuff. Anyways...

-"It's not that it's just everyone acts its the best thing ever, same thing that happened with Walking Dead"

Hold up! Your initial stance about this was people simply "liking" the Life is Strange games, not going over the moon about them. I fall into the former category, not the latter. And bringing The Walking Dead (TellTale) into this muddies the water since I hold Season 1 in higher regard than any LiS season (so far).

-"People putting it up there with story telling found in games like Bioshock, Uncharted, The Last of Us, Mass Effect etc..."

You're not really winning me over with that list, especially when some of those series have wildly disparate levels of quality writing to them. Uncharted 2 & 4? Sure, those are ones I really enjoy. 1 & 3? Eh...1 isn't all that great and 3 can be as much of a shambling mess as Before The Storm in regards to plot contrivances and characterization. Mass Effect 3's bad writing isn't just limited to the ending too. It takes updated endings and solid DLC to actually get close to previous games' level.

-"...but at least at the end of the day those other games were full on AAA games where you got full on involved with the story, not just watch, point and click on repeat."

By this rationale, should we dispute people liking old well-written adventure games with moon logic puzzles? The point-'n-click adventure genre just has a new subgenre that trims the unwanted fat. Plus, LiS did utilize time manipulation to complete certain tasks so that's not all you do there.

EDIT: Please feel free to comment here and jump to PM if the timer runs out. I didn't mean to handle the convo like that. I apologize for that.

King_Noctis2091d ago

Uh no. If you play LiS season 1 then Before the Storm hits home really hard. The game is very emotional.

coolbeans2090d ago

Speaking as someone who's been with LiS since the beginning, I think Before The Storm has some godawful writing. There's a light smattering of emotional, effective scenes to be found, but are dwarfed by everything else. A mess from top to bottom.

King_Noctis2090d ago

Well let just agree to disagree then. I love everything about LiS season 1 and BtS. LiS season 2 on the on the other hand sucks really hard.

josh-eh2090d ago

Completely Disagree. Not as incredible as Season 1 but still worth playing if you liked the original!

Yui_Suzumiya2089d ago

Farewell episode is my favorite of any LiS

Bloodborne has all of these beaten if you're willing to put the work in to uncover it. I liked the new GoW a lot but it was mainly for the satisfying gameplay, apart from the end credits scene and some of the opening moments I wasn't very much affected by its storytelling.

Torment Tides of Numenera has the best story this gen imo. The gameplay will make it a chore for a lot of people though.

Stay-Toasty2091d ago

My god, you're right about that. I absolutely LOVE Torment: ToN but have never played anything like it before i picked it up, so I didnt know exactly what I was getting into. I had just heard it had a great story. The lore and the world are AMAZING, but sometimes it'll take me like 20-25 minutes just to exhaust one random character's dialog tree. Feels like I'll never finish it.

gangsta_red2090d ago

"The gameplay will make it a chore for a lot of people though."

Amen to that! I stopped because it was going nowhere

fuckz those are insane numbers

Gamingsince198161d ago

I wonder if they count all the free copies everyone got from the epic store 🤔

gold_drake61d ago

i doubt that, it says sold and not given away fro free ha.

Gamingsince198161d ago (Edited 61d ago )

I have to wonder where all the people are then, because there are def not 200 million playing online, not even close. It's not a dig at the game (besides the fact they abandoned everyone that doesn't play online) I have been enjoying gta since the first gta on playstation.

gold_drake61d ago

gta 5 has been out for

ps3, xbox360, ps4,xbox one, pc, ps5 (ps5 version)

Giga_Gaia75d ago

We need a 60fps patch for RDR2 for PS5/XSX

Cacabunga75d ago

I would rebuy , say again goodbye to my social life and replatinum like i did on PS4. The best thing i have ever played

DodoDojo75d ago

And that is why GTA6 doesn't need to be priced at $100.

vTuro2475d ago

It's honestly insane how massive GTA has become.

jznrpg74d ago

Sadly I own it for PS3/4/5 even though I’ve never played it. I did get them for super cheap though and still unopened.

I can’t even imagine a helldivers 2 movie.
Hopefully they do it good

Cacabunga106d ago

Next is Horizon card game… the milking is unreal

Grilla106d ago

Yeah but with terminator style bots and the Illuminate. More potential imo.

mkis007106d ago

They better not be afraid of leaning into it hard.

S2Killinit106d ago

Im most excited for the Ghost anime.

vTuro24106d ago

I was about to say, they can just copy Starship Troopers homework and change it up a bit so the teacher won't notice.

SeTTriP105d ago

How when the game is literally inspired by a movie?

Goodguy01107d ago

Lmao, sony making more shows, films, and remasters this generation.

Lightning77106d ago

Yet let's ignore Ghost of Yotei, Intergalactic, wolverine and Santa Monica's New IP.

Yep all TV shows and remasters alright.....

Hereandthere106d ago

Ghost of Yotei looks like a ps 4 pro game at best, intergalactic only showed 4 seconds of in game footage, despite being in development for more than 4 years, wolverine might be good, Santa Monica's New IP was just for you to fill space and cover for sonys lack of 1st party games.

DarXyde106d ago

Remasters aren't games?

Didn't realize the same folks making games are also making films and shows (which Sony actually has been making before games, but ok).

Silly comment aside , Ghost of Tsushima as an anime sounds grand. Don't care too much about Horizon or Helldivers media, but it sounds cool to get more Jin.

Army_of_Darkness106d ago (Edited 106d ago )

You do realize Sony has a completely separate movies and tv series division right? They are simply catching on and actually taking advantage of their popular gaming ips

Redemption-64106d ago

Naaaaa, you are supposed to pretend they don't have a completely separate movie/TV division

Lightning77106d ago

@Here uh huh Right watch Ghost Of Yotei get the highest score on meta this year. ND doesn't miss so I expect Intergalactic to be a damn near Master piece, insomniac making Wolverine so you know they'll knock it out of the park. Santa Monica will probably announce their new IP this year and it'll be epic. It's about track record and all these studios have great track records. You wanna argue facts go ahead I'll win.

I was hoping for live action Ghost but an anime will be just fine.

Grilla106d ago

Last I heard the guy that made the John Wick movies was working on it.

Lightning77106d ago

Now that's gonna freakin dope.

-Foxtrot106d ago

I really hope they get the guy who played Jinn to play him in the film.

Elda106d ago

If true then there's hope.

gigoran8106d ago

out of all the titles they could have chosen, those 3 could actually make decent movies.

-Foxtrot106d ago (Edited 106d ago )

They’ve tried a Horizon series and it fell apart, what makes them think a film is going to work with a shorter run time.

I was hoping the GoT series would focus on Jinn after the main game.

S2Killinit106d ago

Im not sure about the show or why it allegedly fell apart, but the story in Horizon is pretty cool. I can see people enjoying it.

Michiel1989104d ago

they probably recorded some footage for it and now want to make a quick buck out of the remnants. You know what they say: fail once, rip your audience off.
