Max was a dumbass and saved the torn up photo in her Diary instead of submitting it for the contest. When Jefferson saw that she had torn up a brilliant photo, he said something like "well if you won't respect your own art, then neither will I" and set the diary on fire.

Loving this game so far, just beat ep 2.
Big spoiler question:
Big spoiler question:
I failed to save poor Kate 
Does that effect a lot later? Is it worth redoing the chapter to save here or should I just see how it plays out with her dying?

Play it as is. The game works fine both ways, and it's more honest. Furthermore, that game heads to some emotional places, and being able to edit those kind of defeats the purpose.

Alright thanks. I'll live with the choices I've made.
Overall I'm really loving this game. The art direction and soundtrack is beautiful and makes it so great to just chill out while you explore around, the cast of characters is great, and most importantly, your decisions can come back and bite you in the ass!
Not doing more than one chapter a day so I'll leave it there for now.

Don't be surprised if you scrap that promise after the end of chapter three. That goes places.
There is one:
I got it as a pre-order bonus but it's probably available separately as well (EU).

LOL. Just keep playing man, then get back to us at the end of the episode.
Go play and find out? Seriously not getting why you'd want to stop 3/4rds into a story you're enjoying because you have a hunch that it will play out in a certain way.

My playthrough was interrupted by the release of The Witness. After that I have been quite busy with work, so I lost momentum with the game I guess.

I finished Episode 1 a few days ago, started Episode 2 and got finished an early section
. I am SUPER loving this game. The camera angles when Max sits down and plays the guitar are amazing.
Went back and replayed Episode 1 with my wife since she enjoyed seeing the demo last year. We spent like 20 minutes reading Max's journal and talking to everyone, it was a blast.

I'm curious if shinobi will follow the same path as me. I loved Ep 1 and was over the moon by the ending. It's ended up as one of my favourite games of all time.
The way it handles atmosphere, especially in the early episodes, is so masterfully done. I really hope it influences other cinematic adventure games from this point forward.
Lol.
Life is Strange is such a beautiful game.

I'm in the same boat. I was hooked from the moment Syd Matters played in Episode 1, and I think minus some really minor things, the whole game was executed masterfully. It's also one of my favorite games of all time and definitely a watershed moment for choice-based episodic adventure games.

But honestly, this is what I love about games like this. Just exploring the world is soooo enjoyable.

My wife is Japanese and not a native English speaker, so it took her a bit more time to get through the first eight pages that are available at the start. Max's use of slang and some expressions used that my wife hadn't heard before (Woe is me-> Woe is Max) was a bit difficult for her. Once she understood everything she had a big smile on her face. Talking to people was fine, she was able to understand most of what was being said (besides the occasional slang she wasn't familiar with).

As a native English speaker, I still don't understand shaka brah or exactly when to use "hella" the way Life is Strange does. But I embrace it nonetheless.
...shaka brah.

Just finished episode 4.
Wow! What a game! Have no idea what's coming up in episode 5 but I have heard nearly everyone was disappointed in it. That kind of sucks. Almost shed a tear when William went out that front door one last time.

Same. The Witcher 3 theme is starting to get stale. Weird as fuck NA doesn't have a theme.

thankfully! That was one of the most intense scenes I've ever played in a game. Goddamn. The relationships Max has with everyone in the game continues to feel so genuine and authentic, with Kate and especially with Chloe. One of the few times where I'm smiling all the time because each scenario feels so well thought out and feeling like it could happen in reality.
The soundtrack continues to fucking tug at my heart strings. The main plot has me hooked, Arcadia Bay's apparent seedy undercurrent is extremely tantalizing. Can't wait to see where it all goes. Intense! And people keep telling me Episode 3 is even more wild...I can't handle this!

Your response felt just like mine, Shinobi. By the end of episode 3 I was already going about calling it my GOTY.
Yes the last half of episode 3 is mind shattering.

Jesus fuck episode 3.
Had to go back in this thread to when it released to see some reactions.
Thank god I don't have to wait months for ep 4, and I can do it tomorrow

Yup... Episode 3 consumed me. I would have died had I been forced to wait for Ep 4.
Yeah, this is the reason I always wait until the full season is out. Those breaks in between would have sucked.

I see some people on the last page reacting to episode 3 and I just finished it. This is my first time playing through and have absolutely loved it, but the ending of episode 3 was definitely my least favorite part so far.
episode 3 ending spoilers:
Just thought I'd share, I'm too scared to go too far back in this thread cause I've already kinda had a few tiny things spoiled here and there. Looking forward to having time to play episode 4 soon.
episode 3 ending spoilers:
I feel as though it was incredibly obvious changing that would lead to something bad and I'm surprised Max would even do it after expressing apprehension to smaller changes in the past. Besides that, I'm assuming episode 4 will do a "take back" so this will all feel relatively pointless. I liked the smaller scale intimacy of the changes, and for me this went too big.

As someone who knows of Minecraft but never been a huge fan of the game, I really enjoyed Minecraft: Story Mode.
Oxenfree is a similar game that I loved. It's sort of a 2.5D horror adventure with a primary focus on dialogue. You choose almost all of the protagonist's lines in the game. The choices affect the characters' relationships more than the overarching plot; I feel like it's best to know that going in so you don't expect a bunch of wildly branching plotlines. It's not episodic so it's quite a bit shorter than LIS et al, but there's a lot of replay value with some achievements for playing in certain ways, tons of conversations and character development that you can't get in just one playthrough, etc. I've played through it twice and I still plan on playing it at least two more times with different play styles.

Dreamfall Chapters is quite similar, and very good so far. The final episode isn't out yet. It's the third in a series, after The Longest Journey and Dreamfall:The Longest Journey. The first two are more traditional adventure games. I highly recommend them all.

Just checked this game and wow from what i saw the voice acting and dialogue is very good. Definitely getting this tomorrow Thanks. While checking this I ran into a game called Firewatch which seems to be good too.
Also thanks zer0blivion and littlegrasshopper, I should have a bit of content to play now

Holy shit! That ending was a rollercoaster...
Now to Ep. 4.
Holy shit! That ending was a rollercoaster...
reliving Max and Chloe's memory that far back in the past real hit me hard. I was anticipated something drastic changing for the worse by changing the past in a big way like that but wasn't expecting to see Chloe like that...holy fuck...noooooooooo
Now to Ep. 4.
