I think this is the most pretentious game I've ever seen "Life is Strange" - General

so i read the synopsis of this thing so far and basically it's this senior photography girl or something coming back to this town and meeting her depressed friend and trying to find some girl the depressed friend liked. all i'm thinking is what the fuck kind of high school has senior photography students [QUOTE=Lachz0r;46745519]jesus christ you guys need to grow up [editline]19th December 2014[/editline] what the fuck this game has a hipster girl in it?! fucking sjw tumblr bullshit walking simulator mother fucker this game is the worst it's not even out yet but i hate these fucking cinematic experiences where the fuck is the armour, if anything i'd be the one getting rescued![/QUOTE] man what the fuck i'm not saying any of those things i'll im saying is by the synopsis and what so far has been seen it isn't the "nostalgic, moving" experience it's marketed as. and sometimes it's nice to fantasize about a good game.

i hate teenagers i can't wait until i'm 20

You lost me at "Like [x] mixed with Gone Home".

[QUOTE=Lachz0r;46745528]i hate teenagers i can't wait until i'm 20[/QUOTE] holy fuck you are literally a baby

also, idk how they'd do it but it would be SO fucking cool if they made a cinematic/whatever type of game where you play as a deaf person, so it affects gameplay very dramatically. I'm not sure how it would be done but if it was done right it would be soooososos neat

3 pages of people thinking they're smart because they can call something pretentious without the least bit of self-awareness and i'm the one on a high horse

[QUOTE=Lachz0r;46745598]3 pages of people thinking they're smart because they can call something pretentious without the least bit of self-awareness and i'm the one on a high horse[/QUOTE] because it LOOKS so damned pretentious. Like seriously we have posters like you come in defending it but you guys won't say what you like about it. This game looks SO absurd already with what little they've shown, I can't imagine how anybody can possibly think this game is genuinely good with what little was shown. Seriously why won't anybody discuss what is good about this game instead of coming in being so defensive. We're all open to opinions and shit so come on. [editline]19th December 2014[/editline] a game's trailer should be treated with great importance to really appeal to a wide variety of people and this trailer REALLY did not appeal to anybody except super weird girls and guys.

yeah true why couldn't they make this trailer more like hatreds?! what is pretentious about it? you can't just say pretentious and expect it to mean something

[QUOTE=Lachz0r;46745673]yeah true why couldn't they make this trailer more like hatreds?! what is pretentious about it? you can't just say pretentious and expect it to mean something[/QUOTE] I doubt hatred is supposed to be story driven, I haven't looked at the hatred trailer in a while but I think they got the point across that it's supposed to be nothing but a bloody massacre :v: this trailer doesn't do its story's justice. Even Tales from the Borderlands trailer did a good job getting its point across.

[editline]edit[/editline] ok let me reform this; I am disappointed to find this kind of brainless conversation take place on Facepunch again.

[QUOTE=Dick Slamfist;46739138]If I could change the title I'd make it something less inflammatory. Sorry.[/QUOTE] You could ask a moderator.

Why are so many people here acting like this game is going to ruin the industry or something, it's just another game that's different from the usual shit you play and you aren't even forced to follow its development or even play it for that matter, there are tons of other games out there and you give this one an exclusive attention of hatred and despise just because it doesn't follow your usual "good guy vs bad guy shooter" Calm the fuck down, this game is going to be released and forgotten within a week just like any other game. This tantrum some of you are throwing is embarrassing and childish, good lord. I wish my life was so empty of problems, the only thing I had to worry about was crying about a game that doesn't even affect me or will change anything in the industry whatsoever and that I'll forget about it before it's even released.

You guys keep arguing at stuff, and Im just sititng here being curious as to why that girl as a poster of boobs on her wall.

[QUOTE=Oizen;46745874]You guys keep arguing at stuff, and Im just sititng here being curious as to why that girl as a poster of boobs on her wall.[/QUOTE] she's probably a lesbean

[QUOTE=Ricool06;46744470]I like the look of this. I've noticed from parodies of the trailer that it tends to be neckbeards jumping on the "feminism is shit" bandwagon that are really upset by the trailer. [editline]18th December 2014[/editline] It's like you are angry with your own prediction.[/QUOTE] im not mad for fucks sake, they can publish whatever the fuck they want, just like how hatred can be on steam. Im stating the obvious that its reaching for the tumblr fanbase and it looks like shit to me. I wont buy it but others can. I would only be annoyed if it somehow won GOTY over the huge contenders this year, like gone home did this year.

the way you're wording your posts makes you seem angry if that helps. how is it reaching the tumblr fanbase? like, is it because the main character looks 'alternative' ? and i dunno, GOTY is a lot of nonsense anyway

[QUOTE=codemaster85;46746151]Im stating the obvious that its reaching for the tumblr fanbase and it looks like shit to me.[/QUOTE] It might just try to be a good game for everyone too. I still don't see all the bad you others see in this game, the characters and story development look interesting based on what I've seen, so now I can only wait and see. Btw did anyone notice the action sequence after the outro? [editline]edit[/editline] [video=youtube;YzdwnRICzao]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzdwnRICzao[/video] Obviously this is from an early part of the game, so if the story gets more intense like in the trailer, I'm still interested.

I'm mixed about it. Hopefully it won't be crap story like Gone Home and be interesting. [I](and before anyone says anything, the Gone Home story wouldn't even make it to teen lesbian drama straight to Home DVD)[/I] Also this brings up a question I have, why is it always women who get shown with the deep emotional issues? We never see guys dealing with anorexia, suicidal depression, mood swings and the like.

You people are silly. The game's not for you soooo... Move on? That's what I'm doing. What's stopping you. It's not like you're forced to play it, or forced to associate with its target audience, or forced to even like it. If you're not interested it it and won't get it, why do you care if it's "crap". What do you get out of bashing it besides a feeling of undue superiority?

Does that mean it's an SJW game too? Tumblr is literally just a blog website, and a pretty good one too really, it works good, I don't blame them for having one

[QUOTE=fudge blood;46746000]she's probably a lesbean[/QUOTE] And Im straight. I never put boobs on my wall.

[QUOTE=codemaster85;46740200]who said im riled up exactly? im calling it like i see it and what the comments see it.[/QUOTE] Aren't you one of the people that kept saying that Anita and all the people that agree with her should shut up about how bad games represent different kinds of people and make their own games? If you're right about what this game is, isn't this exactly what you wanted? Your first comment just seemed a little weirdly hostile for something you suggested in the first place.

But I also said i wouldnt really enjoy it because its way too heavy on high school teen drama. No where did i say it shouldnt be bought, and I dont really see agressiveness when i was basically writting down what the game is according to the trailer and reviews with a joke on how they will write in some gay characters to get praise.

It will find a way on your dash one way or another. Infact with how this game is marketed towards, it would advertise it's self all over tumblr, just like minecraft with youtube.

I've already seen a big cult following on this game on tumblr so I'm pretty sure they've claimed it as their own now. Seems to pander to them quite nicely for some reason.

Looks cute. Might pick it up if it turns out to be good and is on sale.

I don't get why people stuck complaining about what's obviously the backstory. To me it looks like the plot is she's a normal teenager with a normal life until ppl get shot and time twists, lighthouses get hit by boats and other crazy shit.
