March Community Playthrough - Life is Strange

[Crabmaster2000]

This is where Life is Strange is different from Telltale Games' story-driven games. Your choices don't have a huge impact on game events because Max is always struggling with making decisions. This game is in fact quite linear and the only big choice moments comes at the end where you decide how your interpretation of Max would act. Maybe it better to look at this game similarly to Alan Wake but with dialogue options.

But I totally understand where you're coming from. You make a very valid argument.

I think I wouldn't have had any issue if it was like that from the start is the thing. I think my displeasure stems from feeling like I had a lot of control and say over the game early on and then finding out halfway through that I really didn't.

I completely agree with you Crabby, the game goes from choice into funneling you into a linear play-style.  Though I mostly enjoyed my experience with the game, I don't see it making my Top 5 list at the end of the year.  I very much prefer the TellTale style. But, to each their own of course.

Anyone with a PS4, that even remotely enjoyed this game, should check out Until Dawn.

I'm with Mike. Until Dawn was an amazing cinematic choice driven game. So much fun and ALL of your choices seem significant.
