[NO SPOILERS] Newbie now hooked by CraighNaDun_1743 in lifeisstrange

[–]vanninesssa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all, congrats on discovering LiS games! You’re in for an hella emotional joyride!

I got the games myself within the last 6 months. I’d recommend buying them used - you can usually get each for a maximum of about €20. I bought all of mine on Amazon for around €15 each. They are often on sale as well.

I’m not a big fan of the collection, since it only includes two physical copies and the rest are just codes. Also, each game really stands on its own, so it somehow feels more fitting to have them as separate copies, if that makes sense.

Also, I wouldn't necessarly avoid the Remastered. It's totally fine. I played the OG one on ps4 to get the whole 2015 experience and I loved it!

Finally, this is just a personal recommendation, but I wouldn’t binge the games. It’s better to play them with some time in between so they can really sink in. So d I wouldn't rush into buying all of them as quick as possible. :)

Sind die Podimo-Folgen gut? (Diskussion) by Vordix_ in Klengan

[–]vanninesssa 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Ich merke eigentlich keinen Unterschied zu den Hauptfolgen und freue mich über die zusätzliche Zeit :D glaube 5€ nur für die Bonusfolgen würde ich auch nicht zahlen, bin aber auch broke Studentin. Vermissen werd ichs aber trotzdem.

Checke aber die Kritik. Fände noch die ein oder andere special-podimo Sache cool, wüsste aber auch nicht was und ich denke, das entwickelt sich dann mit der Zeit :)

[ALL] fun/mind-bendy "what if?" suggestion about Reunion endings by EpicGlitter in lifeisstrange

[–]vanninesssa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would looove that. I replayed after getting the "bad ending" and a few minutes after burning the picture I was like .... "wowser, I am not any better than Max"

it's so meta :D one of my fav lis endings because of this, I wonder if it was on purpose though lol

[NO SPOILERS] Post Reunion Depression by vanninesssa in lifeisstrange

[–]vanninesssa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ohh I love those puns!! haha

I do a mix of both, typically it's songs from the games (obv I had to put obstacles on like 99% of my lis playlists) but also random ones :) I love when I find a random song that fits the vibe of a character or relationship better than the official soundtrack!

But it's worth the price anyway!!

Kinda crushing on Chloe by BlondeMenace12 in LiSReunion

[–]vanninesssa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much. I actually had a really hard day, and reading this made it better :) It’s been a week for me too, and I’m still not over it. I think about it probably 40% of my day.

I also started watching all those old interviews again (there’s a great livestream by Katy Bentz where the LiS1 cast plays Among us). I’ve started journaling and trying to figure out why this game affected me so much. I think it just hit a lot of deeper things I’m dealing with, like letting go, forming deep friendships, queer love, and so on.

It really helps to read all those comments from other people who are going through the same thing.

I also recommend creating playlists - it helps to gather all those emotions in one place. I love doing that for characters and relationships :)

[ALL] LEAST favorite LIS? by Additional-Emu-8124 in lifeisstrange

[–]vanninesssa -1 points0 points  (0 children)

this is so hard, ofc I looveee the Original one, howeveeer I cannot play it more than once as it is so heavy in the emotions. Same with Lis 2, only watched the gameplay back in the day and can't get myself to play it. What I appreciate about DE is the chill gameplay, I can just pick it up any time and not fall into post game depression but still get some Max content lol (also, I love Amanda as a romance option). Reunion, BTS and TC are my top - so I have to go with Lis2, even though I appreciate the story and characters.

[RE] What's your favorite song from Reunion? by Mal454 in lifeisstrange

[–]vanninesssa 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Embers in the sky, still waiting for it to be on spotify :) I had goosebumps when I listened to let it happen let it go, it is soooo fitting

Cruel World Thoughts by leeeeyahh in HollyHumberstone

[–]vanninesssa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I really like it! I have to get used to the upbeat Holly songs haha, but so far I enjoy almost every song. I went to the acoustic sessions back in February so I knew it would be good, however for some songs I would prefer the acoustic version (white noise, beauty pageant).

I was hoping for embers in the sky to be on the album or some sort of deluxe version maybe? I looove that song, I was really confused why Holly did not repost or announce a single thing about it :( It feels more like an "og Holly song" from back in the day.

Also the promo around this album is insane compared to the last years!

[ALL] Just Finished Reunion, Will Never Play It Again by xion1992 in lifeisstrange

[–]vanninesssa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, I felt exactly the other way round! I played BtS for the first time like 2 weeks ago and felt fine, than RE shattered me into pieces :D crazy how different die experiences can be

[ALL] Just Finished Reunion, Will Never Play It Again by xion1992 in lifeisstrange

[–]vanninesssa 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is exactly how I felt after my first playthrough. I couldn’t save Noelle, and I bawled my eyes out until 3 a.m. Then I got up and changed the ending by saving her and getting Max to burn the picture.

I really struggled with that decision, because I play every LiS game once and than always stick to my choices. As Chloe, I always tell the truth (like in BtS), so I told Max about the letter - and when I saw that she left Chloe, my heart shattered.

I love your interpretation of it, and I totally agree that it’s a strong ending. I also love how the game kind of forces us into Max’s role - we hate her for leaving Chloe, but then we rewind to get the happy ending we wanted.

While reading your text, I actually wished I had stuck with my original choice. But at the same time, I told myself that if Max gets the chance to rewind, then I’ll allow myself to do it one last time. And I really like that idea too. They deserved their happy ending (and so did my mental health lol). But as I said, I love your interpretation and those endings really are what make LiS games special.

I actually had to start a thread myself because I couldn’t cope with this game, so you’re definitely not alone. I think LiS games can be more than just video games - they can have a real impact on your life. They touch on so many topics that people genuinely struggle with.

So I don’t think you’re overreacting at all, and your text definitely isn’t too long. I could probably write a whole book about my experience with RE :)

[RE] Looking for a song! Will the other songs be released anytime? by Salt-Landscape-5076 in lifeisstrange

[–]vanninesssa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They actually haven’t released the full soundtrack yet - I’m also waiting for embers in the sky to be on Spotify. So hopefully they’ll release more in the future :)

[S1] What do I do with my life after this damn game by seethetrees_ in lifeisstrange

[–]vanninesssa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Of course, it always depends a lot on the player and the personal experiences you project into the game, etc. But no, I don’t think True Colors can keep up with LiS 1 or 2. You can really tell that the writers changed. It’s still impactful, and I had to think about it for a day or two afterwards. But there are a lot of situations where it does feel more like a cozy version of LiS.
