I've just finished episode 5 and I have to say that Life is Strange is one of my surprise favourite games of this year. When I first bought it I was not expecting to enjoy it so much. I would be lying if I said I didn't bawl my eyes out at the end. It's really been worth it the past 7 months.
Also for those interested Insert Coin will be releasing clothing based on the game!
Just finished episode 2. I think I spent 15 minutes deciding what to do with that last choice. None of them felt right. Also I seemed to have picked the choice only 7% of people did!
Overall I enjoyed it just as much as the first one, I like the direction it's going.
I've honestly not really been all that hyped for the game. It just looks like a pretty but standard third person shooter, which sounds very last gen. The length of the game isn't an issue for me if the game itself is really good. But given the reviews I'm not willing to pay full price for an okay game that's only 5-7 hours long, maybe when it's cheaper.
Honestly the game feels like a launch title that's over a year late. A pretty game that shows off the games hardware but only a passable playing game.
Good point, future-proofing is very difficult and probably wasn't the best choice of words. Though in the long run a good i7 is probably going to be better than a good i5, especially if games get more CPU intensive. But a it's as you say, depends on what you want to do with the machine.
Depends on the type of i5 or i7 you're looking at. I have an i5 but it's a pretty good one and has good overclocking potential. But I would recommend a good i7 so you can future-proof your PC. Looking back I wish I got an i7.
I found http://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcforme to be a good place to see what build you could get for your price range. That's what I did when I built my PC last year and just used the parts someone else recommended and I can't fault my PC so far.
For sure I recommend you get an SSD for the OS, thanks to it my PC loads up super fast. But also get a normal 1-2TB hard drive for space as SSD are rather expensive and the space on one of those won't be enough.
