So who plays Life Is Strange? For those who do, just--wow, right? I don't know what I fully think on whether video games can be art, but if there is such a thing, this is it. Just finished another, even more thorough, play-through, and the end of the third episode still just--floored me. If anything, it was even more intense the second time, as I noticed more and more details.

Who else plays it and is as utterly enthralled, flabbergasted, and invested? (And let's try to keep spoilers hidden away so prospective players don't stumble over 'em. :D )
YES.

Okay, I haven't actually played the game - but I have watched the 'let's play' videos on Pewdiepie's website. It's one of Square Enix's best games yet. The plot-twist in the episodes are just...woah. I wish that it was more than 5 episodes!

Square-Enix had nothing to do with it beyond giving Dontnod money--which is why Dontnod went with them. They shopped the game around, and everyone else wanted to change it--make Max a guy, add in QTEs, add this, take out that, change this, tweak that--but Squeenix let them do what they wanted, how they wanted. :D Also, they did hint that they might make another season of it, so--here's hoping!

And! Seriously, play the game. There are so many choices, that affect so many things. Watching just one play-through isn't enough! :D

And you can't tell me the end of Episode 3 didn't just make your jaw drop. I mean--Chloe in a wheelchair, paralyzed from the neck down! But what I didn't really notice until the second play-through was the smile. It wasn't just a smile. It was someone who truly loved life in a way the "original" Chloe never did. She might be paralyzed, but she was still, at heart, the happy and loving--and loved--girl we all wanted her to be.

I saw the trailer and watched some gameplay and I'm REALLY excited about getting the game and playing it! I'm so tickled to hear people love it so much! I'm 100% def buying this when I can. :)

Good! I'm sure you'll love it, too. If you don't become utterly enrapt, I'd be mighty surprised. :D
