[ALL] Life is strange: Double exposure is everything that is wrong with the gaming industry
Hear me out
Just like everyone reading this post, I was ecstatic for a new life is strange game, especially one with Max Caulflied, which I consider one of the best protagonists in media. However, there are some things I particularly don't like about it, in no specific order
1. The creators of the original game believed that Maxs story had ended and came in a conclusion. There is no need for a sequel. There are so many games that don't need a sequel and get one anyway, even if it messes with the story's original narrative just so it can become a money tree.
2. Wdym high school sweethearts?? I mascaraed a town for that girl!! You cannot just change the value and and importance of a dynamic so you have new characters in your dating sim. I hope to be proven wrong and for there to be a reason there's a picture of Chloe in Max's wallet. Can y'all stop with the doomed lesbians trope? At this point I can include it as a problem in the industry. Can't a sapphic couple just, stay peacefully together?
3. Pre order bonuses come in a total of 90€ If you pre order the game today. In no timeline should anyone have to pay 90€ for a max 20hrs of gameplay, especially from an AA studio. They are very underwhelming. Mediocre outfits, a cat mission, ton of early access to spoil people that can't afford/don't want to pay early access etc
4. What do you love about LiS and LiS2? The retro aesthetic, the unique art style, the simplistic yet very mechanical gameplay, the silly teenage protagonists cracking cringe jokes at everything and for me, having art as an escape mechanism up until the end where it is all symbolically ruined (photographs burned for Max, not being able to draw for Sean) These are a few Dontnod elements that for me, decknine can't capture. True colors fans will definitely disagree with me on this but change of studio doesn't do justice to the originals
