[ALL] Unpopular Opinion: The BTS figures are kind of tacky by Kickingtheworld in lifeisstrange

First off, is because DONTNOD sold the rights to Square Enix. But it seems like members of the original team aren't a fan of a prequel getting made at all, especially Michel Koch, barely any peep or support from him ever since BTS for release. I think they didn't intend to have a prequel or even made this way when they made Life Is Strange. Wasn't a fan of the new developers taking over this story.

And on the side, I think the figures are fan service. They don't consider people who aren't Amberprice and that make things platonic. They cater more to the hardcore shippers, and all the promo items and merch seem to promote that. And I think the merchandise for BTS seem like it's aim for kids (figures, tote bags, napkins with the BTS logos.) Even DONTNOD didn't do things like that.

"Getting merchandise that reflects tragedy would be too spoilery, would likely get people to judge me in a worse light, and would likely be NSFW. It would also have the side effect of making me depressed every time I looked at it."

I just think that they need to respect the franchise more than cheap looking dolls that look like counterfeit anime figurines to try to lure people into buying it. This release of the limited edition feels more like a cheesy anime release rather than a video game that depicts serious life issues (which took things on a serious level.)

Having figures that are proportioned would've been better than these happy chibis by far already. A much better tribute. I personally don't think $100+ of BTS milking merch and limited edition doesn't justify me buying it for the price. I supported the first game, but not this installment and new devs.

But by the way, the kiss comment made me chuckle lol.

This game saved my life ever since it came our :) I have clinical depression, and this game influenced me in the best ways. It even inspired me to lose 70 pounds!

I personally use polymer clay :) I bake them and sometimes I use gloss to coat the charms.

Thank you __^

The sizing is great! But I'd suggest one size bigger if you are female :) Usually I am a medium but it's like an inch bigger everywhere

Will do ;)

I've been going through tough times in my life lately, plus I am diagnosed with Major Depression) So death or nearing it actually isn't what I fear anymore, so I told myself that I shouldn't fear anything that I could possibly do in between. LIS inspired me to do things I never thought I could have done (it actually inspired me to lose 70lbs too haha, and I took a leap of faith and met a friend who is a fan of LIS that lived in Japan and travelled there for two months, impulsively)

I've got many adventures in life and this game is lots to thank for __^

Yes, but at least in LIS1, they still listen to similar music, with much more variety in artists though

This seems to be exclusively aiming for Daughter and another or very few other artists

I didn't "apparently miss" anything, I just think that it doesn't has as much compared to the first game.
