You get to know the characters better in the first game, and so you can relate to them better. In LiS2, the boys are on a road trip so meet a variety of different people you dont spend much time with. As for the story, Im interested in how Sean is going to keep an eye out for Daniel now.

I didn't play Before the Storm, and playing through each episode months apart instead of all at once kinda changes my perception as compared to the original.

But I'd say that the writing is a lot tighter; dialogue feels more natural whereas in the original could veer into "how do you do, fellow kids?" territory. I like that each episode so far has had a distinctive setting, but that brings up the issue mentioned in post 3 about not having consistent characters for the most part. I give them props for raising the stakes plot-wise; episodes 2 and 3 both take some wild turns.

One area where it falls short of the first game is that it kinda lacks a gameplay hook without the time travel mechanic.

I'm waiting till all the episodes get released before buying it. Which might be awhile since it took them a long time to release each episode.

I'm waiting until all the episodes are out, but I am very much looking forward to it.

Im playing. And yeah, i replayed ending few times actually, Cassidy and Finn's route with variations,cause i wanted to see all outcomes and choose the one i like the most. Not like it really mattered in the end >_>
Pretty hyped for ep.4

does the Captain Spirit thing relate to the story at all, or was that more of a hype-demo?

The main character from that is present in episode 2, and you do interact with him. I didn't play Captain Spirit, but it felt like the sort of thing that would have been more impactful if I had.

I read it does affect some of your decision in episode 2 for LiS2. Though I'm sure someone can clarify.

I also didn't played Captain Spirit, but i don't think it would have any significant impact on the story though

I have yet to start episode 2.

Why am I not surprised that this account is suspended.

Nope, don't buy episodic games until all episodes are released. Look at what almost happened to the final 2 episodes of the Walking Dead or how Kentucky Route Zero still isn't finished.

Also it seems like the game has the perfect storm of things I don't usually like (a road trip story and an annoying kid character as a main character)

Will you be waiting for Final Fantasy VII remake to be fully released before buying it?

Yes, which means I might not play it until 2040 I guess.

Max and Chloe can have their annoying moments, but it's nothing compared to how annoying Daniel and Sean can be.
