@ Jokerman:

The slang didn’t bother me as much. I think Chloe is the worst offender in this aspect, but she is the voice of Ash/Tiny Tina so she kinda gets the pass. She sais “epic win” at some point, and I’m pretty sure no one below thirty uses this un-ironically anymore…. Plus I always cringe when people say it out loud.

Also Max uses “kek” instead of “lol” in text messages sometimes and I don’t know how I feel about that. Seems contemporary enough, but I haven’t really seen anyone outside of gamer gators and DOTA trolls use it un-ironically. :P

It does seem in character though. Like I have no doubt that Chloe is the type of person who would totally say “hella” or “epic” all the time, and Max does seem like someone who would have at least passing familiarity with mmo/moba culture. So it kinda works.

@ Kim Johnsson:

Yep. I was surprised too. :P

Bah! Stop tempting me into buying this :D I only buy episodic games when they are all released… so the wait is quit agonizing at times. This game sounds really good, and i really like Groundhog Day plots… i just wish more games used them.

Did the teen slang bother you? From some of the reviews i read ive heard it’s pretty full on and one of the times they miss the mark on the teen girl feeling they are going for.
