What kind of game is this? Is this like sims or like heavy rain?

More like Heavy Rain, walking around, talking to people, unravelling the awesome story but with some magic powers thrown in for fun. Have a look at this gameplay from Life is Strange 1, will give an idea how the game plays.

Wanted to get this physical but noticed you can only get standard editions and I really want the Wavelength DLC from the Deluxe edition. I see you will be able to upgrade your physical copy to the Deluxe version but it will be cheaper buying the Deluxe version. I can't see prices of upgrading from physical disk. Jesus why do they make it so awkward.

Some found on Steam that the upgrade is $13, price seems to be removed now but that could be 13 to 15 euro over here. Hmmm not sure what to do now.

Is there a release date for the DLC? I'm assuming it be later than the base game

I'm not sure, Wavelengths is a prequel so it could be same date as the main game. Good question.

Just had a bit of a google, doesn't seem to be anything official on release of DLC more than it will be "after" the main game. Whether that is days/weeks/months is the mystery. I like to play all parts close together on these type of games whilst I'm immersed in the story, so might hold fire on any purchase until we know more details.

Definitely one I'm keen on though, loved the first two games, still to play season 2 but heard that's not quite as good as the first ones.

The dlc bonus episode they released as part of before the storm was some of the best content in the series so i definitely want this new dlc as well. Squeenix have a habit of making a balls of stuff like this with the series though.

As for LiS 2, Ep 1 is great, 2 is good but a bit too long, 3 is the worst LiS episode I've ever played and i quit the game. Returned after a few months and slogged through. Ep 4 and 5 were brilliant and in the end I'm really glad i went back to it. I recommend grabbing it, especially on sale.

Yeah felt the same about 2 , half the episodes were hit and miss. I also couldn't stand the younger brother at times. Half the time while making choices , I was always going for the ones that would not set him off.

with this out the week before Deathloop, I'll probably wait for it to go on sale

Isn't episode 3 the one with the weed farm? That was alright, personally.

LIS2 is a good game but I think it took the 'walking simulator' genre a bit too literally. I mean the moment you don't get to play as the superhero but the superhero's old brother that basically told me everything I needed to know. I also think the whole road trip thing goes against the identity of the series. It was a bold move but one of the best things about the first one was Arcadia Bay, itself. It felt believable. You get a sense of its history and culture.

Zero-Cool · 05-08-2021 05:04PM

As for 3, i just didn't like/care about any of the characters. I thought the brother dynamic was interesting but like Eoin, i felt i was making too many decisions based on Daniel which i get was the point of big brother but ep 4 and 5 felt more personal to Sean and i think the game benefited from it. Saying that, i have watched all the endings on YouTube and the are some really great/depressing ones friending on your decisions and how you treated Daniel, definitely worth playing through.

Adventures of Captain spirit bonus episode was absolutely class though and recommend it (it's free) to everyone who hasn't played it, especially those wondering what a Life is Strange game is like.

Wavelength DLC out September 30th and the Remastered collection is being pushed to early 22. Still don't know how to play Wavelength DLC if buy a physical version of the game. I think you just have to pay 15 euro so you'd save a fiver if you bought digital deluxe but then no trading it in.

Flipping heck ZC, I nearly had a heart attack when I saw that image! Thankfully , it's just the shiitty remaster they're pushing back so it's cool 😆

Look forward to the Wavelength trailer. It's exciting because they're marketing True Colours like a traditional game now with DLC all at once and that's undoubtedly down to the fact that all the episodes are coming out at once. It doesn't feel like they have a "roadmap"; it feels like this thing is fully cooked and ready to be served.

Not looking forward to all Square Enix emails I'm gonna get when I boot this game. I'm playing Outriders right now and it's already started!!!

Hey it's Mikey! Will definitely have to get this. From the last bit of video, it sounds like you'll be able to buy it as regular dlc as long as you own the game, deluxe/ultimate not needed.

Still wished there was a deluxe physical version though.

Watched a min and turned off, yupp, day 1 for me, no need to see any more gameplay.

If you pre-order the game with Gamestop, you will get a steelbook.

The Phantom Pain · 01-09-2021 05:50PM

Out this month!!!

Zero-Cool · 01-09-2021 05:54PM

I actually caved and watched a bit of the 'first 15 minutes' videos doing the rounds. The characters, town, music and art just feels like they were made for each other. Can't wait to dive into the story but just the opening alone has me hooked.

Zero-Cool · 03-09-2021 10:59AM

If you are getting this digitally, it should unlock at 5pm Thursday, 9th September instead of the usually midnight Friday.

Whenever you post these videos, Eoin, I feel like Tifa in the Final Fantasy 7 remake when she's near unconsciousness: "I can't. I won't!"

I'm not watching this one. I can't. I won't! I'm gonna pre-order digitally today and go dark. See yous in here late September. 😎

Reviews are out

The Phantom Pain · 08-09-2021 07:52PM

Just popping in to say Greg from Kinda Funny says it's his GOTY so far and co-host Blessing says its in his top list for GOTY. IGN review says it's the best one in the series.

Trying to keep expectations in check but my hype is immeasurable.

I pre-ordered the ultimate edition and just want to play it now tbh lol

Zero-Cool · 08-09-2021 08:00PM

Read that IGN review tag of best game in the series. I've never wanted to look at reviews more but I'll go mad if this gets spoiled for me.

It's out tomorrow! 😀

Zero-Cool · 09-09-2021 12:53PM

Picking this up in the morning from Gamestop along with NBA 2K22. I can't wait to get stuck into this!

The Phantom Pain · 09-09-2021 04:10PM

Guys, it's been a journey but game day is finally here. Wishing everybody a fun time! Off to get lost in the world of Haven Springs. 😎
