hello everyone and welcome to a pros and
0:03
cons of the video game Life is Strange
0:05
Double
0:06
Exposure on Not Now Mom i'm gaming these
0:10
are short videos featuring gameplay
0:12
clips or screenshots so as not to show
0:14
too much in the spoiler department links
0:16
to this review are in the description
0:18
below let the reviewing begin pros: Max
0:23
is a great artist i don't remember too
0:26
much of her journal from the first game
0:27
but I'm pretty sure there was artwork
0:29
whenever she wrote in it but I
0:31
absolutely love the artwork that's in
0:32
Max's journal this time around i don't
0:35
know why she chooses to be a
0:36
photographer when she can draw art like
0:38
she does and that's just pretty much
0:39
doodling to her since it's in a journal
0:41
she writes in max developed
0:44
emotions one of the biggest problems
0:46
with Max in the first game was the fact
0:48
that she lacked emotions it was like
0:50
she's trying to force herself to do an
0:52
emotion without being programmed to do
0:53
it correctly like good grief Max cry
0:56
scream laugh do something to prove
0:58
you're human but this isn't the first
1:01
game and I'm proud to say that Max has
1:03
finally somewhat grown into her emotions
1:06
if a town destroyed couldn't do it then
1:08
seeing a friend's dead body surely did
1:11
cons not a fan of double exposure i'm
1:15
not talking about the game on this one
1:16
i'm talking about the actual idea of
1:18
taking a picture and using the double
1:20
exposure action to create a duplicate
1:21
image over the first it just never looks
1:24
good to me in any of the pictures and
1:26
I'm not sure why it's really used in
1:28
photography genuinely unsure if it's for
1:31
a stylistic purpose or something else
1:34
and I'm pretty sure there's only one
1:35
moment in the game well actually there's
1:37
a couple moments toward the very end of
1:39
the game when you actually have to use
1:41
it so it's just kind of there the entire
1:44
time
1:46
i get that having it as an option to use
1:48
goes with the game title and what the
1:50
game's all about regarding Max's recent
1:52
ability of overlapping things but I
1:55
guess I just wish it looked better in
1:57
images that's probably just a me thing
2:00
phone messages still a mouse i'm not
2:03
sure if there's been a Life is Strange
2:04
game where I actually enjoyed going into
2:06
my phone to read
2:08
messages maybe some weren't that bad but
2:10
when you go into a game and it tells you
2:12
that you have two new messages you
2:13
expect two but when you open the message
2:16
you've got like 50 you haven't read yet
2:18
and then the two new ones at the bottom
2:20
just be honest tell me I haven't looked
2:23
at my phone in over a week and now I
2:24
have tons of messages from a bunch of
2:26
people that I need to catch up on
2:28
clearly they can't actually do this
2:30
because it's untrue max has replied to
2:32
many of these messages we've never seen
2:34
as a player but still it's a lie
2:38
and I absolutely hated the social media
2:41
app because I couldn't get a hang of
2:42
wanting to click on one thing to read it
2:44
when there was a mass post to click on
2:47
specific threads it was a jumble made me
2:50
want to delete the app from Max's phone
2:52
and just tell them to text something
2:53
important came up hard to connect with
2:56
anyone i think this is supposed to be a
2:58
kind of romance genre of game but I
3:00
didn't add that into my review post
3:02
genres because it feels like a giant
3:03
flop there yes you can make appropriate
3:06
choices as to who you want to flirt with
3:08
and everything but keep in mind we're
3:11
going back and forth to two different
3:12
timelines so while they might like you
3:15
in one they might not feel the same in
3:17
the other and it's really jarring when
3:19
that happens if you're trying to romance
3:22
you want to be consistent with the
3:24
person and there's no consistency like
3:26
that in this game max constantly repeats
3:30
hints listen I like the occasional nudge
3:33
in the appropriate direction i don't
3:35
know what to do or where to go but holy
3:37
crap this is a game about exploration
3:40
you want to look around you want to
3:42
listen to conversations you want to look
3:44
for things that might otherwise be
3:46
overlooked that's the whole point of
3:47
Life is Strange Games and Walking
3:49
Simulators in general which I do
3:51
classify this game as mind you but Max
3:54
can't freaking stand to be idle for more
3:56
than 10 seconds before she's saying what
3:58
needs to be done to progress the game i
4:01
get it Max i know what to do you can
4:03
shut up about it where's the step ladder
4:07
okay so this is kind of a joke to place
4:08
here but there's a moment in the game
4:10
where Max has to use a stepladder for
4:12
something and it's in the other timeline
4:14
so when we get to the other timeline to
4:16
where the stepladder is I was thinking
4:18
she was going to place it where it
4:19
needed to be and switch again but no she
4:22
apparently puts the stepladder in her
4:24
backpack and takes it with her to the
4:26
timeline where it's needed how how on
4:30
earth did she put that thing in her
4:31
backpack when it was twice the size i
4:34
feel like we're in a hidden object game
4:35
where you can just place a fire
4:37
extinguisher in your back pocket and
4:38
pull it out when it's needed those games
4:41
don't make sense half the time but you
4:42
think this game would make a little more
4:44
sense than that even moving the step
4:46
ladder seemed weird because the other
4:48
timeline is different than the one we're
4:50
in it still wouldn't be there
4:54
and that's the end of our pros and cons
4:56
