am I the only one who literally burst out laughing at Ep. 3's ending?

No, I'm sure there are other psychopaths out there.

OK, so I finished it. First life got REALLY fucking strange, then the ending ruined everything. Seriously, it's How I Met Your Mother bad, or Mass Effect 3 bad. :negative:

They went for the David Lynch card, and they went at it a bit too hard. Although I admit I got legitimately spooked at a few points.

Legendary Digital Studios Partners with Square Enix and dj2 to Adapt Award Winning Episodic Videogame Life Is StrangeTM into Digital Series

BURBANK, Calif., 27 July, 2016 – Legendary Digital Studios and Square Enix will join forces on the development of a digital series based on the critically acclaimed, multi award-winning video game, Life Is Strange™, it was announced today by Greg Siegel, Senior Vice President of Development and Production for Legendary Digital Studios. The project will be developed and produced in conjunction with Dmitri Johnson and Dan Jevons of dj2 Entertainment who recently produced the upcoming film Sonic the Hedgehog for Sony Pictures. Life is Strange™ was brought into Legendary by Cory Lanier who will oversee the project with Siegel.

Life Is Strange™ follows the story of photography enthusiast Max Caulfield, a high-school senior who discovers she can rewind time while saving her best friend Chloe Price. The pair soon find themselves investigating the mysterious disappearance of fellow student Rachel Amber, which uncovers a dark side to life in Arcadia Bay. In addition to winning the BAFTA for Best Story, the Peabody Award, the Golden Joystick’s Performance of the Year and The Game Awards’ Games for Impact Award, Life Is Strange™ has garnered over 75 Game of the Year awards and listings.

Life is Strange™ is one of those rare properties that combines incredibly developed characters and storylines with deeply engaging gameplay,” said Siegel. “It lends itself perfectly to live-action imaginings. We couldn’t be more excited to partner with Square Enix, DONTNOD Entertainment and dj2 to bring the world of Arcadia Bay to life in an exciting new way.”

“We’re proud and excited to be working alongside Legendary to realise a new version of Arcadia Bay and Blackwell Academy complete with our rich cast of realistic, believable characters and memorable events,” said Jon Brooke, VP Brand and European Marketing at Square Enix. “Now that the first episode of the Life is Strange™ game is free to download on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Mac and PC, there’s never been a better time to play or to introduce a friend to the beautiful world of Arcadia Bay”.

To celebrate, there’s a brand new trailer showing Max and Chloe in action available now. Check it out here.

Legendary Digital Studios, Square Enix and dj2 are currently meeting with potential writers for the series adaptation.

Should've just skipped the game and made it a TV show from the start.

Harrr, will be interesting to see what ending they will come up with. They would have to pic a canonical ending or somehow wiggle their way out. If I had to take I guess I'd say they ..

will go with 'Chloe lives' cause they know they have a ton of fans rooting for that and they might want to keep the possibility of a sequel open after all.

I don't think it's the kind of action I'm expecting to see.

This is bizarre, because a lot of the more impressive details in the story and characters are relayed to the player through the player's own exploration and pissing around with time manipulation. It'd make a perfectly fine and entertaining TV series, but it'd be less interesting and engaging than the game, so it's utterly pointless.

I don't know if people actively interested in tv series could be considered normies to be honest. At least not in the current year.

For fucks sake.

Citation needed?

I just hate that this crap is what passes for "adventure games" these days. That's like someone telling me "Flowers in the Attic" is a fucking meaningful novel because it sold more copies than "Fierce Invalids Home From Hot Climates". Fucking pass. NEXT.

Life is Strange wanted to be Twin Peaks so bad it must feel like a dream come true to the developers.

I tried to play this because people kept saying that despite the Tumblr shit it had some interesting things.

I hate all of you motherfuckers.

Chloe is the worst character ever and a terrible friend.
Going to try gone home next?

Why would I try Gone Home? I've already seen all five minutes of it on Youtube.
