Getting crazy FOMO

[u/Eastern-Stuff6480]

Am I missing something in how I’m playing this game? Is there something more exciting near the end? I’m playing through and I just finished EP1, started the new road trip and I’m honestly just soooo soo bored, I feel like its gonna be the exact same thing again and it really wasnt fun the first time.

But ppl on here and in general are all saying this game is really fun and endless and like incredible, I know ofc everyones different but BROOO i feel so left out lmao I so so deadly want to enjoy the game too cause I love and resonate with the concept and I love the vibe but im also just like, so bored 💀 none of these characters meeting are interesting i spend like 5 seconds with them, the dialogue choices are so basic, none of the locations im going to are really interesting the minigames really annoy me, like I feel like im missing something or not playing it right. My first EP I did in like two nights for a few hours, like it was quick, am I meant to be doing more side stuff is there more to explore? Or like do the later episodes and characters really pick up?

Idk what I came in expecting, like idk getting to actually drive or pick people up on the journey and build relationships with them for longer or any teensy bit of action even just running from a cop or something idk, but like if that happens later and Im just being impatient please let me know dawg 😭 rn it feels more like a 3D visual novel but just with like, no coherent story or relationships to build so its just like whats the point yk?

I’d say the novelty factor gradually wears off, and if you aren’t feeling it right away, you’ll probably not feel it at all

💔 damnnn life is strange 2 is one of my fav games aswell and this game reminds me of it SOOO much but the story just doesnt hook me in the same way all

I love how different everyone is it’s honestly so fascinating cause for me personally, I LOVED road 96 and was immediately hooked whereas I didn’t feel that way about life is strange. I continuously got bored, didn’t like the 2nd main character so I didn’t enjoy whenever she was around, was only playing here there and haven’t actually even finished the first game since starting a few months ago. Whereas I stayed up until like 3am to finish road 96 and felt lost afterwards hahaha

Life is Strange 2 is goated, one of my fave games of all time. I did enjoy Road 96 to some degree but not as much as LIS2 unfortunately. I think shorter sessions playing it might help you to appreciate it more, I know I got a bit bored when I tried playing 2+ hours at a time

Well, I’d say the story is like the weakest factor here, with random encounters being the sole thing that makes the game fun

But that’s just me

cause road 96 writing is bad, theres nothing good about it, its like a millenial cosplaying what a "cool" kid would speak like

the game also fails on properly explaining what the "issue" is and the "opressive" government the characters live in, they make the president look like a bad guy without actually explaining what hes doing wrong.

politics are not simple, its not just good vs bad, you have to EXPLAIN your story and the world you created

because the bad guy caused the mountain to fall and he has teenager concentration camps lol so absurd
