Good ending.

Very interested to hear impressions and reviews on the last episode. They've been building it up quite a bit and especially the last two episodes have reviewed really well generally. I hope the fifth episode can keep up the high level.
On the same note I'm also bit nervous to see the conclusion. Hoping it'll be great and just to see how the story ends up on an emotional level.

Just got the platinum.
I feel so empty now that it's all over. And I don't regret any choice I made in that episode, everything just felt right.

Every new episode has always gone up 12-2pm PT in NA. I am envious of the people on PC and Xbox One who get it tonight
.Could you rank the episodes?
Or at least say how long the other episodes took you in average? Because 2~2.5 doesn't mean that much out of context. I usually take 4~5 hours with each episode, so if I don't know the context, this seems really short. But I know a lot of people take 2~2.5 per episode, and so this would be standard length.

Nah, this is the patch that makes the game compatible with episode, it also has some fixes and it improves the lipsynch in the previous episodes.

It seems the new patch also lets you skip dialogue in collectible mode
Thank you Dontnod
edit: Seems you can also now play collectible mode in chapters that don't have collectibles.

I chuckle at those of you upset over the episode releasing late even though it's technically before the proper store update! Muahaha!
I do this because I have to wait until tomorrow, bwaaaaah

did anyone on xbox one have the all optional photos achievement for episode 4 glitch on them? It never unlocked for me after I got them all, and still seems to be impossible to unlock.

Had this issue, hard reset, reloaded the game and save, selected a random photo I already had in that chapter, picked it up--unlocked.

Ive tried that, deleting the game and reinstalling, going into a new file and getting them all again.
It doesnt seem to be the typical "Done--unlocking" thing it does. Its just straight up "Locked"

Hype levels at Max (<heh)
Although I have a feeling by the end of the episode The Feels will be at max.
This and Tales from the borderlands in the same night

Any possibility of there being a discount for Life is Strange on Steam? Or is there a place where I can buy it now for cheap?

Yes (slightly more specific follows, very general comments and thoughts though)
First 10 - 15 minutes felt a little off, pacing wise it started in an expected, but a little awkward spot. Although it only improved dramatically as it went on, some might say it gets a little self indulgent towards the end, but as a fairly die hard fan, I really embraced it. It ends very strong. My front-runner for best game of the year -- it really goes for it, it's hard to explain, but it really does do everything this story can do.

Yeah, so? What is so evil about that again? Dude has a crush and is waiting for her to get up so he can run into her.
Look, I'm going to admit, when that window picture first came around, I was shitting on Warren too. But I changed my mind about him in episode 4, dude is willing to take a beating and help out whenever he can, and he hasn't really done anything wrong to have all this shit thrown at him.
Not really, no. However that's not a criticism (more specific albeit general comments follow)
There wasn't really any crazy twists to speak of, more just interesting directions the narrative takes -- each new scene is something you really don't see coming, it goes places quite unexpected, and does very creative things, surprisingly creative considering what the season has presented thus far, but not really any downright "twists" that really got me.
How long did it take you to finish? I'm working tomorrow and trying to decide if should fire it up tonight or wait till tomorrow.

Hmm, I'm honestly not sure then. The only thing I could recommend is waiting a few days and launching it again. The unlocks do seem bugged on it, Episode 2 achievements unlocked during Episode 4 for me and I played each one on day of release.

4, 5, 2, 3, 1
I feel like Episode 4 left the biggest impact, I think, it's has a few problems, for one Max loses agency going into the vortex party, their's a bit of a disconnect here. But it still had the confrontation with Frank, the detective puzzle, the dark room reveal, resolution with most of the core characters at the vortex party, the Mr. Jefferson reveal, Rachael Ambers fate, the scenes with alt. reality Chloe. It stands out to me as both having the best and the most content, which is surprising to me.
Episode 5 I'll sit in second place for now, obviously it's build very heavily on what's come before -- but you'll see for yourself soon enough.
[Both episodes 2 & 3 sit quite equally for me, each time I look at this order I change my mind whether I like 2 or 3 better]
Episode 2 was the Kate episode, her arc may as well have began and for some of us (me included), ended in this episode as well, a really powerful,more self contained story. Kate dying at the end was something I'll never forget, I'm still upset I couldn't save her.
Episode 3 one of my favorite moments in the whole series, which was the morning after the school break in. Just lying in the bed listening to music beside Chloe, that was a really effective scene to me. Episode 3 overall was a little more underplayed and subdued than episode 2, after Kate's suicide it was appropriate to take some down time, after all. This episode built up Chloe's character the best out of all of the episodes, (maybe tied with Chloe's scenes in the alt. reality in episode 4) making her truly likable and compelling. I didn't completely warm up to her until the break in scenes. Jumping into the photos was a great thematic addition to Max's power set, too -- and the cliffhanger of Ep 3 might be the best one of all -- even better than 4 as far as intrigue goes.
Episode 1 is still fantastic, it built a great foundation, and the rest of the series capitalized on it.
I can see any order being justified though, there's no real weak episode -- I think 1 sits at the bottom, it has the least going on, but it's a strong start. 4 I think everyone can agree had the most going on, and wins purely because it got most of the big payoff scenes -- it's hard to fuck up with the opportunities and scenes episode 4 is given. 5, 3, & 2 I can see being mixed around in any order though.
