I have never been so fucking salty in my entire life. Fuck this game in particular.
Okay so episodes 1-4 were fucking fine/fantastic and a lot of people got really emotionally invested until MOTHERFUCKING EPISODE 5 came along and basically turned the game into one huge ass shaggy dog story, where either you undo the entire fucking game and let the person WHO YOU HAVE SPENT THE ENTIRE FUCKING GAME WITH die or let everybody that you spent the last 4 episodes helping die because they were too stupid to get in the storm bunkers THAT WERE HINTED TO EXIST THROUGHOUT THE GAME.
Not to mention that the first part of the game was the biggest waste of fucking time, because you end up right back where you started and someone ends up saving you anyway.
Did I mention that 95% of the shit you look into becomes completely irrelevant and the majority of the plot threads get completely abandoned? That characters that are hinted to show up don't and how that ruins the game?
This is a game that tries to teach a thing or two about growing up except the main protagonist is static for most of the game and her best friend, who DOES grow up throughout the game, basically dies alone, without all that character development, and never knowing that people gave a shit about her, because if she doesn't thousands of people, including her loved ones, will die by hurricane. In other words, "lol get fucked terrible people it would be better for people if you don't redeem yourself and become a better person."
Did I mention that there is a good chunk of the Life is Strange community who fucking harass people who opt to save the best friend over the town, spouting utilitarian nonsense and saying that they're monsters with no empathy? They aren't even good at arguing their point. I have literally never experienced so much bullshit in my entire life.
Life is Strange doesn't even do a good job at convincing you that sacrificing the friend = storm. Hell, one of the endings is actually fucking implausible, and guess which one got the most attention?
It's 20 fucking bucks, this game, and it's so terrible that I spend half the time wanting to refund my purchase.
Never doing episodic games unless it's completely, 100% done. God.
The salt is real, guys.
