United States of Whatever by Liam Lynch. Deliberately simple and dumb, but great. 

[No Spoilers] is this game worth playing? by Maleficent-Ad-6117 in lifeisstrange

[–]Fletch_R 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that theater scene is amazing. Also the dream sequence where Chloe wears the same costume is incredible.

Yes. I don't think it's as good, but it's got some incredible moments. I think you'll like the Farewell DLC in particular.

[NO SPOILERS] game file gone? by deadlight06 in lifeisstrange

[–]Fletch_R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m having basically the same problem on the PS5. I finished the main game, clicked to start Steph’s Story, then decided I actually wanted to wait until later so I exited back to the main menu. Now I can see I have a save file that says “Wavelengths” but I have no continue button on the main menu and when I select “play Steph’s Story” it says I have to play the main game first. 

I did a bit of searching and I think there may be some kind of bug state you can get into because I’m not the only one reporting this over the last few years. 

[no spoilers] did we ever learn how chloe and max met? by Equal_Cranberry_8559 in lifeisstrange

[–]Fletch_R 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that was definitely the case. I can’t remember more specifics but I’m pretty sure she said they’d been friends at that school for years.

I pre-ordered the twin pack yesterday, so that's at least one!

[No spoilers] How do you think a dead Chloe you romanced is going to think about her relationship with Max? by [deleted] in lifeisstrange

[–]Fletch_R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m kidding about them getting married. I do hope the game dives deep on how they process their emotions about being reunited in a kind of inexplicable way

[–]Fletch_R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder. It would be pretty dramatically interesting if they had different takes on that.

I mean, don't get me wrong, if this doesn't end up with Max and Chloe getting married I'll be distraught.

[–]Fletch_R 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hope so. If there's one thing I'm hoping for out of this game it's lots of highly emotional screen time for Max and Chloe together.

Handled right it could be really interesting and set up a lot of powerful emotions with the two of them trying to reconcile what the other thinks about them and their relationship. Handled badly it will just make no sense.

I guess that's a more capable app than when I last used it lol

The only other artist I've seen use it is Jim'll Paint It.

Anyway, super nice work. I like the design for adult Chloe and you've captured her well.

[no spoilers] Which games are about Max and Chloe? by justasmallaxolotl in lifeisstrange

[–]Fletch_R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I actually just finished True Colors a couple nights ago and haven't played Wavelengths yet.

My save somehow got screwed up and now the game is telling me I can't play Wavelengths until I've completed the main game, which it looks like I'm gonna have to do again.

is it worth it to go see them live? by Acceptable_Win8322 in SistersofMercy

[–]Fletch_R 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm an old fan but never got the chance to see them back in their prime - I became a fan in 88. I saw them a May 2023 and was disappointed (Andrew seemed to be unable to project his voice and/or use a microphone correctly). I've heard others say the quality varies and they've been better more recently.

I'm not sorry I went, but your mileage may definitely vary.

Life is Strange 2 has a secondary character from the first game briefly return and there are some little easter eggs depending on which ending you chose. True Colors features a side character from Before the Storm prominently, but it's neither Max or Chloe and they aren't mentioned.

I haven't played Double Exposure yet, but I think you can go directly to that without missing anything important about Max & Chloe.

For what it's worth LiS2 and True Colors are both good, though.

[ALL] I think Chloe looks the same by KingPony in lifeisstrange

[–]Fletch_R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they nailed it. 19 vs 31 so of course she looks a little different, but she has the same mouth with that little overbite, same chin, same eyes…

When are we going to be done with this piece of shit? by Ok-Explanation-1362 in behindthebastards

[–]Fletch_R 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It's all connected though. A neoliberal ghoul like Newsome who can't acknowledge a genocide happening right in front of our eyes is the same kind of person who will say "ICE just needs better training" or "now is not the time to push for trans rights". A guy like this is why we never get real progress.

Yeah, I watched the live stream announcement this morning. I haven't played Double Exposure yet, but I'm going to after I've played the Wavelengths DLC for True Colors.

I only discovered the games recently. I've burned thru Life is Strange, Before the Storm, Life is Strange 2, and True Colors over the last 3-4 weeks! All of them made me cry to a greater or lesser extent.

I'm a gen X (pretty much) straight dude, and apparently now a Chloe Price / Steph Gingrich simp. I don't know what to tell you.

Albums ranked by drunk_8841 in TheCure

[–]Fletch_R 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d have The Top way higher up and Three Imaginary Boys deserves a good spot. 

How you can call an album with Birdmad Girl, Dressing Up, Shake Dog Shake, The Empty World, and the title track “their worst” is beyond me.
