A bit of a random observation:

We've recently been watching Scream (the Netflix TV series) -- It has a very similar 'feel' to this game (high school setting / everyone's a suspect / similar soundtrack)

If you liked the game I'd recommend giving it a go.

Confirmation of a sequel (or at least ‘a new Life is Strange game’).

omg

Tsk.

This is some good news, still need to go after that Life is Strange soundtrack.

Aye Shabs, I thought the same.  Loved both.  A sequel is hella good news.

Am watching that at the mo.

What do expletives want - direct sequel? Similar shizzle but isolated story?

I'll be all over this. Played through thinking I'd hate it (bought cheap in a sale and couldn't pass at the price) and ended up blasting through over a few days as it was so well done.

There's a playlist of it on Apple Music you can download. Would assume it should be on other muso services too.

£9 Tesco.

You too, Webbo? FFS.

Ah but which ending?

Not sure I want another one. Would rather a new thing from the theme. I'm mean it's reasonable for them to do the thing that's made them money but I'm not sure a second emotional hit is possible when there is expectation. It's a similar feeling/reason for not giving walking dead season 2 a go.

I love Life is Strange so much. I think I might give it another play through soon.

Sequel? Hmm. Love the OG characters but I can't see that working, particularly given the PROPER ENDING. Similar themes, more teens, new story. Yum.

The correct ending was...

It's a general bugbear to be honest rather than personal. It stems from all the way back to deus ex and later the bollocks around mass effect 3 but affects the majority of games with this kind of mechanic.

The choice-consequence thing is actually a number of things bundled together. the first is that really to give a toss about the aggregation of small choices turning into some massive snowball at the end is just setting up for a fail and often misses what is actually important in the game. I mean I think in a moment a game can give you a choice and the fact you swing one way or the other is actually an interesting thing in and of itself - particularly in the context of role play. The fact it doesn't go into some massive mathematical matrix to determine what exact mood a character is in and what specific type of disaster is going to befall everyone is kind of missing the point of having a choice about whether you ignore a phone call because you are pissed off enough orc not. In the end there is never ever ever going to be a choice that doesn't lead to a predetermined outcome so the choice, if the expectation is that it has some end meaning, is just a set up for disappointment.

Secondly choices shouldn't have any real connections to an outcome anyway. Nobody has a real control of anything and even choices that feel like they have an inevitable outcome don't really do that with the reliability one expects.

So yeah when people complain about choices in games a lot because they are expecting something that doesn't really make sense and then absolutely bury what is good that kind of irritates me.
