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

Yui_Suzumiya2136d 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.

coolbeans2136d ago

Ah man! You beat me to it. :P

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

Cringe worthy dialogue

I don’t get how any one likes these games

coolbeans2136d 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.

-Foxtrot2135d ago (Edited 2135d 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_Suzumiya2134d ago

Best. Game. Ever

Needs no further explanation

coolbeans2130d ago (Edited 2130d 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.

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

coolbeans2136d 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_Noctis2136d 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-eh2135d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya2134d 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-Toasty2136d 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.

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

Amen to that! I stopped because it was going nowhere

Rumour: Red Dead Redemption 2 PS5 Version Is Real, Out This Year

The possibility of a PS5 version for Red Dead Redemption 2 just became a bit more realistic, as the very reliable leaker NateTheHate has claimed in his latest predictions podcast that a next-gen version of the Rockstar open worlder is in the works.

On the podcast, he said: "Those rumours are true. Red Dead Redemption 2 is getting a next-gen update and the game will be coming to Nintendo Switch 2 later this year." They go on to say that they were told the new versions will launch "a few months" after Switch 2's release, which is tomorrow. They then speculate a late summer / early fall launch window.

Please please please. My dualsense needs this game.

Aloymetal1d 5h ago (Edited 1d 5h ago )

Yup, this game needs that sweet 60fps treatment. Can't wait I hope this is real.

andy851d 5h ago

Be rude not to give it another play. Definitely won't be going for the platinum this time. That was hell 😂

lukasmain19h ago

Lol it was even harder at launch. It took me a very long time. Apparently I've heard they made it easier getting the gold medals for missions in some way. But at launch time it was a pain because after you finish the story and go back to play missions to get the medals, you lose all your perks and abilities, your dead eye level and guns everything etc. You just have the stock standard bare minimum with crap guns. If I had have known they were going to do that, I would have made sure I got gold medals when I was playing the story. But I got it in the end. Pretty sure the trophies would auto-pop on a PS5 version

Cacabunga13h ago

Yes you are right.. you equipment from the main game carried on when you go for gold medals which is always something!
Also the fact you don’t need to get gold on every mission is the big thing.

Still a massive plat and one of the few I am very happy to possess

jznrpg1d 4h ago

Nice! I’ll add it to my collection

aaronlif101d 4h ago

I sincerely hope we finally get a next gen update to this game. It is long overdue. I'd love to see ray tracing and enhanced lighting get added. Perhaps more npc's or animals, ect.

It's going to be $80 on the Switch 2.

PRIMORDUS17d ago

Or free if you torrent both of them on PC lol.

fsfsxii16d ago

You could afford video games if you stopped commenting asinine comments here and got a job instead of stealing.

"You could afford video games if you stopped commenting asinine comments here"

People have cellphones. They can work and squeeze in the 15 seconds to post a comment.

OtterX17d ago

Good sign that the PS5/XBSX version is coming soon at least.

neutralgamer199217d ago

Buy them when they are on sale. We just shouldn't be surprised anymore by prices hikes and or new games costing more. Simply speak with your wallets if you want these companies to pay attention. That's the only language they understand

raWfodog17d ago

The vast majority of the games that I buy are never at retail, always on sale. And usually it'll have to be a good sale too. At least 40% off. All this talk of increasing game prices rolls off my back.

neutralgamer199217d ago

same i like to pay $25-30 at most and even than closer to $25

Wh1teLightning17d ago

I don’t live in the UK and this makes no sense whatsoever. These games have been out for years shouldn’t they be going down?!? That’s not how you attract new players.

The_Blue17d ago

They don’t care about us. It’s the newer generation they are after.

QuantumMechanic16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

I think this is a very apt statement. Game publishers appear increasingly to view their IP like books, music, and cinema---evergreen content that can be reprinted throughout its lifespan (until it enters the public domain). It's actually very reasonable.

CrimsonWing6917d ago

So this is how it works now? Old games get a price increase? This sh*t is completely getting out of hand now.
