So Swann's crew gets in trouble at the end of Tape 1 for their concert performance. Nora and Autumn even mention that it wasn't a good idea, and they even get in trouble from their parents. Swann also has to apologize to people and clean up the mess they made at the Blue Spruce place. Now I'm in Tape 2, and they're doing more stupid stuff again... vandalizing stuff while wearing masks, even though they just had to deal with the consequences of their actions. Like... why? Kat is dying and they're doing this dumb stuff, when they could just be spending time together, by you know watching movies, travelling, hanging out in the shack, or they could even try to figure more about the Abyss. They could be doing anything else than trying to get into more trouble with rebellious crap. Not to mention, Swann is supposed to be introverted and shy, so doing stuff like this just doesn't fit her character. I know hanging out with those girls has made her a bit braver, but vandalism for a character like her is just too much imo.

I'm starting to see why this game didn't do well. There are a lot of genuinely good parts in this game, but there are also so many stupid parts that make no sense. I think Life is Strange 1 had a much better story/plot overall.

So I finished tape 1 and absolutely loved it, but towards the end, I didn't really understand why Kat starts screaming at everyone like she's drunk. It felt a bit awkward and contrived to me, almost like the devs forced her to start screaming just so she could have a coughing fit and they could reveal her leukemia.

Is there a rational reason for her crazy outburst? It just didn't feel organic to me.

Another thing: did anyone else find the whole song performance at the end a bit weird? Like I understand Corey was being an a-hole to the girls, but putting on an entire concert in front of the diner and singing “see you in hell...” aimed at him felt a bit extreme, no? Like they're basically telling Corey to kill himself and go to hell through their song, just because he called Swann a fatso and the other girls some slurs. Or am I misunderstanding this, and the song wasn’t actually aimed at Corey?

Playing this for the first time and what the hell, it's so good. It feels like a better version of Mixtape to me and almost as good as Dispatch. It makes you care about these four characters so much. And the music and the atmosphere are so goddamn good. I'm actually kinda scared to continue the story because I feel like something bad is gonna happen and the game is gonna break my heart.

Anyways, I barely see anyone talking about this game. I even tried searching for playthroughs just to see if any big streamers played it around launch, and I couldn't find a single one. I discovered the game so late because of this too. Dispatch was a big hit so it's not like gamers hate these types of games, so why...
