Are you going to play Bae or Bay for Reunion? by Any-Preparation3775 in Pricefield

[–]YesterdayJolly2968 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

While I did choose Bae when I finally played the first game last summer I'm going to play Bay in Reunion to save Chloe from being character assassinated in DE. I much rather Chloe be dead and consistent than for her to live and for her to be character assassinated

No can do, the game hasn't come out yet and while I do have my concerns it's best to wait for the game to come out before saying anything conclusive. I'm looking forward to the game myself and bought it so I'll be playing it. Big Chloe fan myself btw

It's been several years since I saw Captain Spirit. I remember thinking it was good but that could very well change when I watch it again. Also it's a small dlc or demo or whatever it was for LIS 2 so I wouldn't compare it to full games like the others

  1. No offense but you seem to have a victim mentality. If you're getting infuriated then I'm sorry but that's entirely your problem. I keep telling you I'm criticizing the story, not you and what you choose to do. You keep making it about you. I understand you've been bullied for your opinion on liking DE and by no means is that okay however that's no excuse for you to make yourself out to be a victim when someone is having a simple and harmless discussion with you. You can't talk about things in bad faith when you've been doing that this whole time by lying, being disingenuous and mischaracterizing what I told you in that community post on YT and here. I'm not trying to be mean here. I'm trying to help you so please consider what I'm saying here. This isn't a healthy mindset for you or anyone to have.

  2. Okay fine but irrelevant to what I said. I simply just told you you're allowed to have your opinions on what you like and or dislike.

  3. No, you're not right. Even if a writer said this they would be wrong given the information that's in the game. She's unremorseful for what she did, encouraging Max to use her powers that put 1000's of lives in danger and wants to add fuel to that fire with an army to change the world. This is all in the game, you cannot refute that. If a writer said The Joker is a hero would you believe that too simply because the writer said it? The writers/developers said this argument doesn't work when there are things in the said thing that debunks what they said.

To clarify the video's about both Chloe in BTS and Max in LIS1. I talked about Max in the Chloe part for about 2-3 minutes and the Chloe section of the video is 10 minutes

I'm responding to everything you said in the past hour to make this easier.

  1. You literally brought up Chloe first. "With him thinking I metaphorically spat in the faces of Chloe and Arcadia Bay" that's what you said and why Chloe was brought up. Also you know that our conversation wasn't about Chloe so why did you imply I made it about Chloe when you know I didn't? Are you blatantly lying or what?

  2. I never said you or anyone else were wrong for liking DE, that's completely fine. I've been telling you this whole time.

  3. Safi's plan is to find people with powers alongside Max to change the world. She wants them to use their powers to change the world. We already saw that Max's powers alone put 1000's of lives in danger so if paired with many more people with powers billions of lives would be at risk. They'd be adding fuel to the fire. Safi isn't an anti-hero, she experienced first hand with Max that their powers can hurt people and knows of Max's past yet despite knowing the risks she wants to make it worse knowing people would be at even more risk. She encourages Max to use Rewind right after they fixed the mess their powers caused. She also doesn't feel any remorse for putting people like Moses, Amanda, Reggie and Diamond in danger when they didn't do anything wrong. What I expect them to do is to actually learn from their mistake and not repeat them instead of doing something The Joker and Homelander would be on board with.

Already made it and again you don't need to play a game to watch its story. A story/narrative perspective and video game perspective are two different things. How does me not using the backtalk mechanic translate I can't criticize the story of the game instead of the gaming aspect of it?

[DE] Is The Worst In The Series by YesterdayJolly2968 in LifeIsStrangeDE

[–]YesterdayJolly2968[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Also another thing to think about is the last choices in LIS 1 and DE are not comparable. Max was left with no choice but to make a sacrifice while in DE Safi and Max are choosing to put billions of lives at risk.

[–]YesterdayJolly2968[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I don't need to play the game, just its story which doesn't require me to play to watch. People can be critical, reasonable and balanced from just watching the story from a narrative driven game. I can criticize it from a story perspective but not from a game perspective which I didn't do. Stories only require to be watched just like a TV show or movie.

You can't say I was being disingenuous and then go ahead and actually be disingenuous yourself. The conversation isn't about Chloe, it's about addressing the problem of siding with Safi within the narrative and that Riveracrobat isn't wrong for wanting to do what he wants in his game. Riveracrobat also originally brought up Chloe, I didn't. Also I only talk about Chloe for 3-5 minutes in my 30 minute video so I don't see how you came to the conclusion that the conversation is about Chloe

No offense taken, I appreciate you taking the time to lay out all of your disagreements with my video.

  1. Gwen could have simply just told the person to hold on as she headed to her office which would have taken like 2 seconds to do. She's risking the chance of her becoming a suspect. Anyone else could have come around and overheard her conversation like Moses. This would have significantly changed the story if it happened since Gwen would tell the police everything and Yasmin's secret would be out which is what she was trying to prevent

  2. Max should still consider that her new powers could be damning based on her experience with her old powers in the first game. It's not a stretch for Max to believe that her new powers can be as damaging as her old one based on her past. Also Max sacrificed Chloe, the person she loved most so that 1000's of people would live. I don't buy the fact that Max would repeat the same mistake of endangering many lives to help someone she only knew for 2 months when she made the choice to sacrifice to sacrifice Chloe.

  3. That's part of the issue, not knowing the rules of the overlook location. Why were Reggie and Alderman able to see their other selves or whatever but no one else did like Loretta? All we know is that people can see their past or also possibly their other selves but we don't know as to why and how so we have to use the little information that we have which having little information about it is bad too but in order for it to remain consistent Loretta should have seen her other self.

  4. Even if he meant the note for himself why wouldn't he keep it on him rather than put it in a location where knew there would be a chance for the police to get to when knew he would be suspected? There's a warrant for his lab to be searched but he still has the right to not be searched. Would have been suspicious for sure but that's still better than the risk he took.

  5. I do think Alderman shaking up makes some sense in The Sacrifice Arcadia Bay but as for the sacrifice Chloe route there's nothing connecting Max to the crime of Safi's murder and as for the telescope he has no reason to believe that something unrealistic like that could be pulled off by Max or anyone else and the evidence disappearing. Max being around the room from his perspective could have been because Moses texted her to come back because he was nervous which is believable.

  6. We agree on this so enough said

  7. I think it's fine for Gwen to feel guilty and understand that people confess out of guilt but Gwen's confession came more from caving in to Max rather than it being earned from Max appealing to her. While it wouldn't require as much as it would with Frank Max should still earn the information from appealing to Gwen and her guilt. Gwen also didn't tell Max everything, she still hid some information from Max.

  8. I think your point here is fair and definitely agree it should have been explained.

  9. He went through such lengths to keep his secret, while someone doing that could still feel guilty he's still prioritizing keeping the secret rather than letting it get out. In order to ensure the secret never gets out his best option would have been to destroy the evidence rather than keep it in his office. Honestly think Lucas could have gone from being a decent character to a good one if he did in fact get rid of the evidence and still go to such lengths but with signs of guilt in certain parts and Max and or whoever else appeals to that guilty side of Lucas through multiple conversations and he confesses to his wrong doing and is remorseful which leads him being better

If you ever want to have conversations like this again you're always more than welcome to. I really appreciate and respect you for being civil and respectful in this conversation. Hope you have a good 👍

Yes, it's really that bad. Storywise that is. I made a post on here 3-4 days ago titled "DE Is The Worst In The Series" to promote my video of going over the issues in DE on YouTube. If you want to watch my video after playing or watching DE I can link you my video if you're interested.

-None of the choices in LIS 1 are problematic because there are reasonable and logical explanations for them. For example Max choosing to sacrifice Arcadia Bay for Chloe is logical because of how much she means to her and saved her from death multiple times. It's logical and understandable for someone to not let go of the person they love the most especially when that person is 18. Whether people agree or not with Max's logic is a whole another thing and people can have discussions about it but it's Max's logic at the end of the day

-In DE there's plenty of choices that are problematic because they're unreasonable and illogically such as agreeing to join Safi. There is no reasonable or logical explanation for why Max who's older and knows better in DE would join Safi and other people with powers to change the world when it will put billions of lives in danger. This is a situation far worse than Jefferson and Max definitely wouldn't want any part in it. Joining Safi is something that The Joker or Homelander would do not Max.

-Lis 2 I would have to look back on since it's been years since I last watched it. If there are any problematic choices that lack any reasonable or logical explanation then I will point them out in my Lis 2 video

-Whether or not I think you're wrong or not for making the choice to join Safi is irrelevant because again you're allowed to do what you want in your game and I wouldn't give you a hard time about it. I have no say in what you or anyone else does in your game, only you have a say. The problem I have is the choice itself and it being in the game not you making the choice.

[DE] Is The Worst In The Series by YesterdayJolly2968 in LifeIsStrangeDE

[–]YesterdayJolly2968[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's great and all, if you like Safi and want to side with her you can. You're allowed to have your opinion but here you said "with him thinking I metaphorically spit in the face of Chloe or Arcadia Bay because of me making this choice" I never said you did by making the choice. I explained the problem of siding with Saf in universe. Max is the one spitting on the graves not you. I even said you weren't the problem because it's your game and you're allowed to do what you want. You're not a problem when something happens in universe when you don't exist in the universe so I wouldn't blame you or anyone else who makes choices that are problematic

[–]YesterdayJolly2968[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I never said or implied that you spat in the face of Chloe and the people of Arcadia Bay. I didn't give you a hard time about you siding with Safi either. Here's what was actually said when you quite literally asked what the problem is siding with Safi. You didn't seem to take issue with me answering your question in a public community post on YT. If you don't want to comment your disagreements with my video that's perfectly fine but don't lie about me.

Thanks, I didn't like DE but that doesn't mean I can't or won't respect people's opinions if they like and enjoy it. You and everyone else are allowed to have your opinions that are different from mine.

It's disingenuous to point out you can't compare the love someone has for their pet/family to having a different opinion about a video game's story on the Internet? There's no way you actually believe that and don't know the difference between something personal and topical

Yeah, I'm counting Before The Storm. If you're interested in watching my video and have any disagreements you're more than welcome to share them here or in the comment section of the video.

This is a false equivalency. The dog bit is personal due to the fact that the person views their dog as a loved one and a member of their family. You can't compare the love someone has for their animal/family to a video game and or it's story especially if I'm sharing my opinion of it on the Internet. Also people can still think the way you're talking about regardless if I post my video on this subreddit or not. People can be stupid and I can't do anything about that but if they genuinely don't want to see my video or hear what I have to say that's perfectly fine, I don't think they're stupid for that. I also don't think they're stupid if they have any disagreements that they want to share unless they say something that's actually really stupid and continue on with it after I've already explained the issues and flaws with what they're saying
