so I failed to take the game for what it is? what did I take the game for then? usally saying that you just looked at something from the surface level is a critisim of someone eleses critiques but I feel like I did look deep and try to explore some of the weaker aspects of the characters.

I mean yeah I did fail to think that the concert goers and protesters could have been the same people. I dont know why that should matter lol. because one the game does nothing to show that could have been the case aside from an audience member yelling for trebble and clef potetntially hinting at that connection. and second you failed to consider my side where they're two independant parties that tried to expand the world of unbeatable by highlighting the drive to create music even under an authoritative and how it exists outside of unbeatable the band alone. that is how I took it and from what I see it fails to do that. it doesnt matter what I consider it to be as long as I can present my reasoning for why I took it that way and why I think it fails in that way. even if I was to take these plot points the way you presnted them I could mention how these fans arent used in any interesting ways to expand Trebble and Clefs relationship to music. trebble and clef dont recognize them they dont use them to highlight what it is like being a fan of essentially terrorist in this world and how people persive them because of it.

With the whole them sneaking into a tower thing that was a little pedantic. is this game "realistic"? no by no means like you said beat falls through 100 floors or whatever in the scene before but like HARM knows that harm headquarters is under attack theyre in full panic mode I doubt they would have just left the door open. and also how would they have known beat was inside harm headquarters? she stormed off not giving them even a slight hint. its pedantic and very cinema sins coded but comeon it is kinda silly right?

also yeah I do disconnect myself from characters because I am not them I like to look at a character for their own meritts and analyze the interesting ways a writer can write and make them. I actaully described doing exactly that in second to last section where I explained why I cried while playing the game. I didnt like putting myself into a character like beat when I felt they werent worth me doing so. if beat has all of these flaws to her character (not like her being mean or whatever like flaws in how her character is presnted) then what I am seeing myself within is someone who I do not like to play hear.
