UEVR mod fähig Game in VR erleben

I finished the game a few hours ago and I'm honestly disappointed. For one thing, I missed signing up for the daily platypus facts^^ (in game) even though I read the poster and for another, the story, the themes, the characters seem rather superficial now. It's no longer comparable to the first LiS, which I liked a lot. I was really excited when I first saw the trailer for Double Exposure and realized that Max would be the main protagonist again, because of all the other LiS games I've played (LiS 2, Tell Me Why, True Colors, Before the Storm), she's always been my absolute favorite character. Her story, character and powers are the most interesting. Fortunately, most of the time in Double Exposure is still beautiful, funny and interesting. In some moments, you even realize that she has grown up and learned from the past. But then again, sometimes she hasn't. The new ideas for the main story - I'd say up to chapter three - were good, exciting. It had potential. But then it falls off more and more. By the end, I can't even say that I can logically/rationally understand the motives and actions of some of the protagonists. They act in a gratuitously exaggerated, melodramatic way. They make a mountain out of a molehill. Perhaps the authors have forgotten important explanations in the emotionally charged dialogs that would help us understand what is actually going on? The new characters are mostly boring or unlikeable and you get to know them more via a social media app on Max SmartPhone than in face-to-face conversations. I often didn't care if they were offended or not just because I wouldn't let Max act sexually pleasing towards them, for example. Also, I didn't notice any consequences that really affected me. I also felt more than once that the game was too focused on a political agenda. To be clear: I don't think it's wrong to incorporate themes of sexual identity and orientation into a game. Previous games in this series have done this brilliantly: Just think of the story about Alyson and Tyler in Tell Me Why or the relationship between Max and Chloe in LiS 1. There, however, it was used in a more subtle and story-driven way. In Double Exposure, on the other hand, almost every character is gay (including absolutely marginal characters whose conversations you can listen on campus), and you absolutely have to know about it. It seemed forced rather than natural. It also seems as if the authors have created extra characters who, although they have a deeper character arc, are supposed to serve as hate figures for all the other characters and therefore have to gradually fulfill the prejudices that were previously attached to them by everyone else (including Max). While all the other “likeable” characters are showered with understanding and kind words, they are treated with begrudging resentment. At these moments, I couldn't follow Max's behavior. As for the world design, it was a bit boring to explore the same places over and over again. All the other games in the series were more varied. The initial settings for the graphics create an extremely blurry effect (even Max's face looked blurry). I set the secondary scale from 50% to 100% and it was much better. Also, it wasn't always easy to follow the conversations of side characters, as the audio quality/volume fluctuated or the voices didn't always match the animations (I'm not talking about the cutscenes). So it could be that two NPCs were sitting on a bench and gesticulating, although only one person was speaking. I only noticed that a character lost their phone in one observation mission because Max repeated it again in a monologue. The soundtrack is good (but not as good as in the first game). What I missed are the atmospheric chapter transitions where different characters and locations are shown while a song plays. In Double Exposure, songs were actually cut off harshly at the end of chapters instead (maybe it is a bug). Another thing that bothered me was the UI structure at the beginning of each chapter where you can choose Max clothing. Yes, it's a nice idea to have a choice. But this UI also shows you disabled cards for clothing that you have to pay for (see deluxe edition of the game). If there is content that can't be used, then it shouldn't be shown.

The game is consistently good and captivating, and it's definitely worth buying—especially if you've played through the first part of the "Life is Strange" franchise. I can't really understand the rather reserved reviews, but I suspect that "Double Exposure" is being measured against the first part of "Life is Strange." The first part is simply phenomenal—"Double Exposure" isn't that, but it's still a truly well-made and gripping sequel. I would genuinely recommend buying it to anyone, and I'm looking forward to a continuation!

I can understand the criticism of the game but I did like it. It doesnt quite match the story of the very first game and the ending didnt really convince me, but the overall package was good for me. A solid game that you can buy during a sale. Technically it was okay... I didnt encounter many bugs. Performance could be better, but there are much worse games. However, you should temper your expectations if you're used to good emotional stories from the other Life is Strange games.

Long time Life is strange fan. Finally came around to play this. I read a lot of the negative reviews - and the points are true. Less deep characters than in older games, locations felt boring, choices felt like they do not matter - and all this for a higher price. But it still works out. Even if it is not the best "Life is Strange" game, it is still one of the more interesting episode / story games.

Ich hatte so stark gehofft, dass es gut wird, LiS 1 ist eines meiner absoluten lieblings Games und zu sehen wie man Max nur zurückholt, um ein wenig mit Nostalgie baiten zu können ist ein Alptraum. Alles was LiS zu LiS gemacht hat ist in diesem Teil nicht vorhanden. Keine Charaktere mit denen man eine tiefe Sympathie entwickeln kann, keine ausgezeichnete Story und nicht mal bedeutsame Entscheidungen. Mir persönlich ist es egal, dass Chloe nicht in diesem Spiel ist, dass hätte sowieso nicht funktionieren können, doch wenn man Max zurückholt dann macht doch irgendetwas mit ihrem bereits bestehendem Charakter. Man hätte Max durch irgendeinen anderen neuen Charakter austauschen können und kaum etwas wäre anders. Die Premise vom Spiel, mit Zwei Dimensionen und einem riesigen Faktor ist ja sogar ein gutes Konzept, dies wurde meiner Meinung nach nur unglaublich uninteressant eingebaut. Dass man den größten Teil eines Story Games dieser Art, die wichtigen Entscheidungen, schon fasst weglässt ist absolut Katastrophal und verwandelt das Spiel in einen Laufsimulator bei dem es größtenteils egal ist, ob man jetzt Option 1 oder 2 auswählt. Die Einzigen wirklich wichtigen Entscheidungen passieren am Fiebertraum der das Ende des Spiels ist und selbst dann hat es keine Auswirkung darauf was man im letzten Abschnitt macht und verändert nur einen der letzten Dialoge die man im Spiel zu hören bekommt. Das ultimate Upgrade mit Katzen DLC ist der reinste Cashgrab welcher maximal 10 oder wie in meinem Fall, weil das Spiel deshalb crasht, 15 Minuten an Zeit in Anspruch nimmt und am Ende eh nur sauer macht, da man die Katze nicht mal behalten darf obwohl man das 20€ DLC nur deshalb gekauft hat.
