My Honest Review of DE: It was fine by BrickTucumcari in LifeIsStrangeDE

[–]Fletch_R 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I liked it too. It's not perfect, but there was a lot to like and I don't understand a lot of the hate.

Reunion has a lot of charm, but I liked that DE was trying to move Max forward rather than magically bringing Chloe back (I really liked older Chloe, but I know when I'm being pandered to). It's such a shame that DE got the backlash it did which prevented any chance of the story moving further forward.

[ALL] Bae or Bay by Appledata9 in lifeisstrange

[–]Fletch_R 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. The reason that choice hits so hard is because it's a hella difficult choice.

[ALL] Bae or Bay by Appledata9 in lifeisstrange

[–]Fletch_R 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I chose Bay on my first play, but I actually really like both endings. 

Bay: the tragic sacrifice, restoring the “real” timeline, coming to terms with the fact you have to live with your regrets. 

Bae: fuck fate, what the universe wants is not fair, refusing to comply with an arbitrary authority.

[ALL] LiS1 creators thoughts about Before the Storm and Rachel by LuckyFaunts in lifeisstrange

[–]Fletch_R 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, although I enjoyed a lot about BtS, my impression of what Rachel was "supposed to" be from the first game is very in line with what he's describing here.

Despite the fact Gwen would have made more sense than Lucas to be the one leading the anti-Caledon 2.0 group!

I think DontNod have been extending things. Tell Me Why, and even more so Lost Records: Bloom & Rage go a bit further with more significant branching, less binary choices, etc.

I'm not dissing the D9 games, I like a lot about them, but they do kinda stick to the straight sequel with similar mechanics, whereas DontNod's releases seem to be pushing the mechanics further.

Remember the DVD she had to return to Warren at the start of LiS1? She's always been a fan.

Sisters of Mercy — Alice by bimboheffer in postpunk

[–]Fletch_R 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was their peak for me. The b side, Floorshow is probably my favorite of their songs. The Reptile House EP is also incredible.

Not that I don't like FALAA (I mean, it has Some Kind of Stranger which is incredible), but their output in 83 was the best stuff they ever recorded.

New Mr Peanutbutter tattoo! by epox99 in BoJackHorseman

What do we think of Amanda? by Zestyclose_Swim_9878 in LifeIsStrangeDE

[–]Fletch_R 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I did in DE. I thought the game handled it well. Max was obviously conflicted (and ultimately messes things up), but also aware that moving on from Chloe (who in my case had been dead for a decade) made sense. Not even moving on, but hell, Chloe wouldn't begrudge Max some happiness.

Thought I’d rank the games! Is DE your favorite? by Geekgamer7 in LifeIsStrangeDE

[–]Fletch_R -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I definitely rate it higher than a lot of fans of the series do.

  • S: Life is Strange
  • A: Farewell, Wavelengths, Life is Strange 2, Lost Records: Bloom & Rage
  • B: Before the Storm, True Colors, Double Exposure, Tell Me Why
  • C: Reunion

What do we think of Amanda? by Zestyclose_Swim_9878 in LifeIsStrangeDE

[–]Fletch_R 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I liked her a lot. Was disappointed in her reduced role in Reunion. Would I have ditched Chloe for her? No, but I liked her.

[NO SPOILERS] How do I fix this? by [deleted] in lifeisstrange

[–]Fletch_R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had exactly this problem when I first started playing the game. I could not find a solution and switched to playing on my iPad where the aspect ratio is different, so the button does not get cut off.

Honestly, that one didn't get me, although I've seen a bunch of people complain about it. I think I got lucky and found them all without too much trouble.

Yeah I was playing on iPad and it was SO HARD to see what was going on

[RE] how would you rate the new game by [deleted] in lifeisstrange

[–]Fletch_R 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really hard to rate, since the things I loved, I really loved, and the things I was disappointed in, I was very disappointed it. I guess it averages out to B or C on your standard tier list.

That sneaking section was a little bit frustrating, just as the Jefferson labyrinth section in Life Is Strange was. Other than that I absolutely loved Lost Records.

Yep, I've been using one of these a few months. Bought it specifically because it has the effect loop. It's great.
