Naw i was skeptical at first.. finished it..story was🔥🔥🔥🔥
So you can get past the weird slideshow ?
Can't believe this review was trashing the story and writing lmao
@@progamer_not2681 The art style is a non-issue. It's not my cup of tea either, but you get used to it very quickly. In many ways it can even help accentuate the characters by highlighting particular emotions in their faces.
Multiplayer with voting and vetos is a great idea. Many narrative games could do that (or even add that after release) with comparatively little work.
That 8 player mode seems really neat, like it could be fleshed out into a full game.
Does anyone know how to fix multiplayer ? Friend cannot join lobby, playing on Xbox
Disagree with basically everything in this review, I didn't mind the visual style but don't think it added that much more than normal animation, but the story and acting and choices were absolutely phenomenal
minority
The size of this game baffles me.
Great review. 999 and VLR being mentioned utterly thrilled me!
Was waiting on your review
How on earth does this take up 51gb of storage lmao. Is it all moving images? We had these in the 2000s. They were called Flash games.
It's 24.1 GB on Xbox
@@JuanCurmina nope it’s 70gb. Like bro this śhit some drawings with voice so how is it 70gbs?
@@oniiiiiiiina4677 true its 68gb
Fools! Can you not see the 3d environments and models? Just like a regular game. Plus all the high res shots for every character movement
@@oniiiiiiiina4677 on my Xbox Series S it says 24.1 GB with the latest update, I don't know if it is optimized on the XSS to take less SSD space.
It also has a companion app
Why do I recognize that background music? Can anyone remind me where it's from
'That chapter' uses it on his true crime channel
True true good call. Not the biggest fan of that guy so it was in a corner of my mind somewhere
The art style definitely reminds me of the excellent "A Scanner Darkly", great call on that. The branching storyline maps seem straight out of the David Cage game implementation guide too, a good feature to steal!
Guess i could try it on cloud.
Honestly... I think the art style would have worked better with still scenes and clear black outline á la cartoon or comic book style. Because I sorta got flashbacks to Max Payne (the original). Like there is nothing inherently wrong with trying to make things like this. Interactive stories can work, but I think they can't be or shouldn't be sold as games. Like... I wouldn't mind a "netflix" of interactive stories like this. It could actually work! Choose where these scenes go, and enjoy few of them during your tea break at work! Like I do watch netflix at work during brakes! Why not a story I can choose, with a nice art style!?
Netflix actually has quite a few of these but as far as i know they're only in kids genre
Thank you for the review. I'm a fan of this type of game, but I decided to wait for a sale for this game.
Interesting. Both IGN and Gamespot reckoned it was pretty good. I don't see it though and here's a review closer to what I was expecting from the game. I wonder which is closer to correct.
None are "correct," reviews are subjective.
@@GCTubaTim Sure they are. But whichever subjective opinion the majority supports takes on the illusion of being the objective truth
Everyone thinks Breaking Bad is the most outstanding show of the last decade, I'd rather watch paint dry, or if a freshly painted wall isn't available Game of Thrones Season 8. So I know very well how subjective these matters are.
i thought it was great
@@88Opportunist just goes to show you're just a sourass and not that it may be a bad game, haven't played it yet though.
also, that you don't personally like breaking bad just contradicts your "objectiveness" argument. there is and will never be such a thing for this kind of media
This game is really good. I tried it thought I wouldn't like, then 4 hours later I was still playing entangled in the story. His opinion is very different then mine.
The way your imagination kicks in with this game is kind if cool.
Try it it's on gamepass if don't like it delete it. But if you like story drivin decision making games then I thing you'd love this.
So considering all this, when I played through the game I generally had a positive opinion on it. Sure the animation style is really bazar and the previous issues were pretty obvious but other than that there’s nothing exceptional about it, so it was pretty much just an ok little thing in my opinion.
you wanna spend 30 bucks on a game this week? buy stray
I feel kinda overwhelmed with games like this, so many options, must could have or not a huge impact to the story, but i'm that kinda of person that plays once and does not go back to see every decision and every ending. (only if i had a terrible terrible ending)
How tf is this 70gb ?
I started playing this game last night and it's amazing im loving it 10/10 😊😊😊
I’m interested to try this game but the aesthetics are such an add choice. It looks like a concept storyboard.
I thought the same thing. I didn't think I'd like it for that reason, and then I got entangled in the story and your imagination runs a lil wild lol.
It's really good 👍
Open your mind , it’s called art
@@billyburgess3912 But you also realise art is subjective yes?
@@evp159 Will be giving it a go, have it installed just haven’t had the chance yet. Did you play it solo?
Sounds like it was pretty typical then.
Why is it locked at 30 and 1080p wtf
@Drick yea i see that now but no 1440p support is a massive issue
@Drick hate xbox have it on pc im well aware of how shitty microsoft is and i havent played game at all and won't at 1080p
@Drick well we wont argue that as u could say same abought the quarry until dawn anthology series, i think there very much gamss u have physical input commands on time qte etc its a game, have played much until dusk or wth ever it is so idk
@Drick ah bs come on now u sound like a xbox bro shooter bang bang guy, theres all types of games, wakking running shooting adventure, there most certainly games and i enjoy em very much, can not wait until last anthology release devil in me,hell god of war made qtes famous and its damn sure a game, u can say u don't Ike those type games like tell tale on down but they are indeed games, now ive yet to play this as dusk falls from what i did it did seem more like a interactive movie rather then a game, but idk didnt get far at all
Marty Silva? From ign
Anyone having an issue with joining a friends game?
Yes ! Have you fixed it ?
That sux, i was lookong forward to it
Damn. The whole benefit of taking out standard mechanics of Telltale/Quantic games is that it frees up your resources to focus wholly and solely on your characters, writing, and visuals - and reducing the visuals to a part-motion graphic novel style is that it gets the visuals out of the way of the storytelling. Going to all those lengths to centre the characters and storytelling and then GETTING IT WRONG is a maddening failure; it begs the question of whether or not they even knew the writing was poor as they made it.
Thanks for playing Marty 🙏 I know it's always a bummer when the writing doesn't cut it. I hope you get to review something more fun and interesting next. Cheers man 🍻
I heard Supermassive got bought recently, I just didn't realize they were bought by Wish
As a long fan of this type of game it’s tricky to have a impartial view of them because the way how they are designed means that judging the story is basically not an option, and judging the writing and voice acting isn’t exactly fair since the people making the game have to write and voice several different versions of the same lines and their results multiple times for every interaction.
So considering all this, when I played through the game I generally had a positive opinion on it. Sure the animation style is really bazar and the previous issues were pretty obvious but other than that there’s nothing exceptional about it, so it was pretty much just an ok little thing in my opinion.
Team Gamepass 4life !!
0:47 Eugh that pulsing is extremely unpleasant..
Interesting approach to this sort of game, but I've gotta say I don't really know why they did the visuals this way. There doesn't appear to be any actual reason for it, other than to save money on animations or cover up for poor acting, I suppose. The cross-platform multiplayer stuff is really nice though.
That’s the animation style?
For a minute, I thought the game was just ‘pausing’ itself as the player makes choices. This feels a bit lazy. I guess you could get used to it…but I feel I would just stay annoyed. I dunno.
Game was alright but very disappointing in that it just ended and left me wanting more!! Not at all recommended for the price! I have gamepass so it's ok but I wouldn't pay more than $10 for it.
what a shame was hoping this would be better
Ah perfect, youtube is saying there are one comment
while I see 5 different comments
The comment total doesn't update anywhere near as often as it used to. UA-cam are shaving pennies absolutely everywhere.
A death blow to games like this is not making your characters interesting enough. No matter what else you do to pretty it up, if you fail at that, it's over.
Good thing that doesn't apply to this game at all.
i thought it gon be like Heavy Rain but what is this slideshow shit!
basically a powerpoint lol
I really like this game. But that being said I think you joke went over everbodies head or they have a lame since of humor. Good one friend lol
Glad to know I can skip this one without fomo... I grilled it with the chat when it was revealed live. Not my cup of tea.
It's actually very interesting and fun so far. Surprisingly though it feels real if that makes any sense. I'd tell you to maybe give it a go with gamepass if you can. Have a good one!
@@tzuki6249 I have game pass, but I'm trying to work on live streaming and video creation, and I also Post Acoustic Arrangement Covers on my page, so if I chase those pursuits I don't have time for a game that won't be good for stream. Thank you for the thought and suggestion though. I hope the developers get good feedback.
@@Lagger-HD The game has a broadcasting mode which let’s you install a twitch extension that lets your viewers vote with you so honestly it sounds great for streaming
@@solarcorner that does, thank you so much for that, but I don't stream on twitch...
@@solarcorner I could do a twitch stream for that occasion, I suppose that does sound fun, Even if I only have 2 or 3 people. Thank you.
This game is the concept art phase of game development. If you want a fully developed game with diverging paths in story go play Detroid: Become Human
The PC port is just bad. Are you telling me in 2022 we can't get higher resolutions on a PC port greater than 1080p? Laughable.
It's not in native 4K? That's.. really weird.
I was able to put it in 4K
That is, without a doubt, the fuckin worst name for a game I've ever heard.
Seriously who names their game after a generic metalcore band from 2004.
If I want a slideshow, I’ll go to powerpoint. No thanks
2:49 ??? That made no sense.
What made no sense?
He said you log-in via your phone to vote on choices and can veto choices too.
29.99 too expensive for this crap imho
pretentious ass game droped it after 1 hour
An hour? Congrats. I did 10 mins. 😄
Worst game I’ve seen in my life
I pre-installed this expecting some Life is Strange, Road 96, Telling Lies kinda stuff…
…Nope, Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation. Point & click.
Did 10 mins. Uninstalled.
Naw i was skeptical at first.. finished it..story was🔥🔥🔥🔥

Yeah, writing is the most important thing in interactive novels. There's only so much you can do with gameplay to make up for a bland story unlike more action oriented genres. Without that compelling story there is little to keep you playing.

Learn to go back and see other endings and choices.
@@mikehicks2283 I kinda prefer going though a game like this, like it's my life, I can't go back and change things.
The thing is at the end seeing so many options and different endings I could have gotten, that may be better or worse than mine.

Have you played it?
"GETTING IT WRONG" is very subjective, tons of players are extremely satisfied with this game and I am actually surprised about the negative feedback of this review.
@@evp159 He definitely hasn't played... Because the game is good
The vast majority of other people who have played the game have said they've liked it so maybe this person just doesn't Vibe with it personally. Reviews are subjective so it just may not be something they like personally.
Sorry but you're the one in the wrong. The characters are endearing and each decision you make will have consequences for them no matter what. Ppl can either die or not depending on your choices

Bruh,it's an indie Game lol
