 Hey guys a little bit of a random talk more. So this is going to be just a one-shoot here Might do these in the future very low editing But more so just what I'm talking about and what I'm talking about today and if you've never played this series I would really highly recommend it is life is strange, especially the first two games being the original life is strange and Then the prequel before the storm both of these games were made by don't nod a games if I'm correct and Is kind of remarkable that they would remember me they would make a game called remember me or something along that lines and It was very unforgettable, but what they did is they essentially took kind of the gameplay aspects of that of Telltale and they definitely added a lot more interactivity to it. They a lot added a lot more Content to it and the first story the first game the game that is based on is based on this game You're playing this girl named max who comes back to her hometown in Portland and She's re because she's been accepted to this expensive call like kind of I almost say college, but it's big high high society art studio and You rekindle or friendship with your old friend max who you actually kind of gave the cold shoulder to when you moved to Seattle years and years ago and since then max has gone through a lot of Trepulation a lot of hardship and While if you hadn't gone through any of those sort of circumstances in your own life But you had friends who did go through that There's already a means of connectivity with Chloe as a character She may be a little bit annoying sometimes then there's sometimes where she has a tad bit over dramatic, but really This game has some of the best story writing In terms of a practical sense the main gameplay niche about it is that you watch Chloe die at the beginning of the game and then you're able to reverse time and You find out you have the ability to reverse time and this gives you kind of really cool Abilities to have different interactions with conversations like oh if you say you've got the wrong thing if someone's asking you What is the answer to this and you've got it wrong you can just reverse time and Go back you can't reverse the whole game like obviously. It's a mechanic. So It only does it so often But at the same time max is also having visions of the town being destroyed by a giant tornado Which is kind of impossible in Portland, but as you slowly start to realize you bending time is starting to have an effect on reality itself on top of this on just a slight side note the the music for Life is strange is really well done, too. Admittedly. It's a bit kind of hippie-dippy Indie rock music, but it's actually one of my favorite video game soundtracks Anytime I go on a bike ride in the summer Or if I go hiking I put that on every time I put the whole score the whole soundtrack on every time it is that Good to listen to When you're going on these kind of adventures because the story takes place in a fixed fictitious town in Portland But funny enough I played the game before I actually went to Portland for the first time it was specifically can in beach and that's sort of the inspiration of where the story takes place and Funny enough when I went there and I was like, oh crap. This actually looks like Portland and Don't nod. They're not even from Portland. They're from France or I believe they're in France and They just took reference photos like for a place like they base this game in an area That's on the other side of the world and most of them if ever had never been there But they were able to recreate Portland at least the beach area so well But that's a side note honestly like this game It depends on if you're interested in this sort of aspect I would say you should definitely try it It has a bit of a teen angsty sort of storyline But I just played this game a couple of years ago, and I think that the writing is superb Especially when you factor in before the storm before the storm is the prequel story to Chloe and While most would say play the prequel first I wouldn't because I like how you go in raw with it. It's up to you Admittedly want playing through before the storm was a really cool Backstory into Chloe like it was showing her relationship with Rachel just showing Chloe's relationship with her mother and her stepfather a lot more whereas Max you are Literally in her shoes and you're seeing it from her perspective and you only know that much to go in knowing more By playing the prequel before the first main game. I don't know. I feel that it kind of It might lessen the experience and like I said just you don't have to not play it Just don't play it first and what's weird to say, but just don't I would suggest playing the game first and Yeah, the story works out really well and the ending choice that the final thing that comes to the end of the game There's a major major decision and it's one that I think about a lot If anything it actually kind of it's on the same level of video game choices that come from games like Mass Effect or Knights of the Old Republic this Game has a final decision that is so well Formulated that it's still it hits you and the something else too is that it really resonated with its fan group because I'm a part of the Facebook group for Life is Strange and People love the first game. They love the prequel They have there's so much fan art. There's so much homage. There's so many Omages and just appreciate so much appreciation for the first game And it's characters Life is Strange 2 is a little difference It Certainly is a lot bigger than the first game the first game could fit on a normal 360 disc The prequel was a little bit bigger than that But the second game Life is Strange 2 is so big I think it works out to being like full maybe 30 40 gigs total with all the stories and told that's because they They got a bigger engine They more so they just took more advantage of the Unreal Engine and they had far longer stories and that might be Hindrance to some people it was a legitimate criticism of the first game and my sorry in the second game in my opinion Is that the first the first two chapters are very slow and of five? Number one starts off really good. It starts with a banger, but then it just takes For the story to get going but admittedly once the story does get going It's very very good I think the Depending on how you end it the second story has an ending that is just as powerful as The first one and I think it's more so because it doesn't involve a Time-reality bending thing as much as the first one does because the second game the only Supernatural element I guess you would say is that your brother Is able to you the main character you play? Okay, I remember his name right now. It's been a while, but anyways his younger brother has psychic abilities and That's it. That's the only supernatural element in the entire story The rest of it is just based on kind of current-day politics Current-day affairs and just regular people I think that's one of the parts that I liked about life is strange too a little bit more than the first one The first one overall is a much better game I would say in terms of its narrative and everything but the second game does have Especially if you go with what is considered the good the right ending it brought a goddamn tear to my eye I was I was actually really emotionally hit by the one of the three endings Technically there's four endings, but the main the main good ending. I guess you would call it absolutely wrecked me wrecked me beyond belief Yeah, just a little random little note. I figured that I should have talked about this game a long time ago normally I would I Guess most people would do it like a gameplay like an essay and whatnot But I just I feel that you guys if you haven't played it. You should definitely try it. It is one of My favorite games of all time I could almost say the soundtrack is at least if you were to do those top 10 video game soundtracks 100% it's up there. Like I'm gonna I'm looking at my window right now, and I'm gonna try and go on a bike ride Even though it is negative One was negative three this morning. I'm gonna try and go out on a bike ride and hopefully not die But I'm gonna pop that on I'm gonna pop that music on it's that good I even have a spotify playlist for listening to bike riding and hiking music a lot of the time Just go and look up life is strange soundtrack. Anyways, I just thought that you guys should Little a little bit of tidbit from me. I I would really really suggest it It is a very good game and for those of you who have played it and you understand where I'm coming from Talk about your experiences with the game It's it's really good Medley don't not it's kind of dipped into a few different things. They had a story called tell me why Where I think I got It's only a three-parter, but I got about 20 minutes in and I was already bored And there's another one called dark mirror, which they I haven't played it yet. It's based on It's kind of their own interpretation of Twin Peaks and the X files and apparently it's not very good Which is unfortunate But I feel really when you're going into Twin Peaks territory the only guy who can so far really really well emulated is Sam Lake from the Alan Wake series. I was playing control a little while ago I mean really took a break from it, but it's that game is really good to so far. What's really creepy weird at Atmosphere. Anyways, that's all for me. Hope you guys are doing well. Hope you guys enjoyed this little rant It is making me Maybe if you guys like this, maybe I'll do something else in the future, but I just wanted to try something. I didn't want to Excuse me. I didn't want to get in front of a camera I just kind of wanted to express my feelings because I'm just reading something right now. What is it? It's right Yeah, just Here is yeah Today just so happens when I'm doing this recording right now They're celebrating the birthday of Captain Spirit this Chris character, which that's something else too To give to don't know it is after the first chapter of life of strange 2 they released a demo for something called Captain Spirit and Literally, this is a tiny tidbit story that you don't even have to play. You don't even have to touch it You it's free that you don't have to but if you want to you find out about this kid Who lives next door to where the main characters take place? In the second chapter and what you do in that story kind of affects how he what happens to him in that story? Only slightly depending on what you do, but this is Is a small little story that doesn't it takes place in a in a in a house or a trailer and A front and back yard and that's it That's all that the story takes place and there's so much emotion in this story that my roommate and went back when I played it He doesn't like these games, but he even admitted that he's like, oh man, damn That's actually some that that's oof. That's that's heavy So yeah, a small demo that was complete was released completely for free Was able to affect someone who doesn't even like these games. So there you go Anyways guys, that's all for me I hope you enjoyed this video if you did leave a like and if you're interested in more subscribe And if you're interested in me doing something like this maybe in the future, let me know because this was you know Admittedly it's easy to put together, but it's also something to talk about anyways talk to you later
