I think it's a game that, if you're interested in it, is one you literally don't even have to physically play.

Just watch someone else do it on Youtube.

And I'm still not sure if that's even a good thing or not.
 
I can confirm that "hella", "like", "ya know", "fuck", and "omg" (both pronounced letter by letter and as "omigosh") take up a substantial amount of any teenaged girl's vocabulary.
 
Episode 2 came out yesterday. I played through it and it wasn’t bad.

I feel like this story would benefit from having more than three episodes. The pacing is too slow, and even though it’s 2/3 of the way over, it doesn’t feel even close to completion. They’ve got all these subplots building up and there’s no way they’ll be able to resolve them all in a satisfying way by the next episode. Say what you want about the quality of the first one’s ending, but at least the pacing was better and they had a better OPPORTUNITY for a satisfying conclusion.

Why can’t they do more? Since it’s a different company working on this prequel, there’s really no excuse. Dontnod can work on LIS 2 while this other company puts out Before the Storm episodes in the meantime to tide fans over.

The problem with this new season it's it's technically Life is Strange 0.5. I've not had a chance to play it yet, but I suspect that some of those subplots won't be resolved in EP3 and will instead be tied back to the first season which you pieced together during those episodes.

I actually reckon that DONTNOD is being given an actual budget for LIS 2 as the first season was an unexpected hit for the company and there was a longer gap between some of the original episodes.

Thing is, a lot of the subplots I was referring to aren't in the original game. I'm optimistic about episode 3, but I'm not counting on a satisfying conclusion, either.
