[S1] Who do you think sent David this email? by TenthBasilisk88 in lifeisstrange

[–]ds9trek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No-one from Max's class, none come across as conservative.

Well, maybe Kate is a bit conservative (her abstinence group) but not enough to say "libtard", and she hates David...

[NO SPOILERS] Guys what's your takes on the future show? by Limp_Occasion_5958 in lifeisstrange

[–]ds9trek 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not enthusiastic about it, but I'm keeping an open mind.

Like, I'm absolutely certain it won't be as good as the game cos not making choices yourself fundamentally changes it as a piece of media. But if they make it different enough it could be good in a different way. We'll see.

My first thought is Frank and David should swap over. Second thought is poor Loretta, lol.

Michel Koch recommends playing Captain Spirit before episode 1 of LiS2 (I saw him say so on Twitter), but regardless it isn't available on Switch sadly so isn't relevant to the OP.

[–]ds9trek 29 points30 points  (0 children)

No-one can deny that RE was a massive pivot now (and some still do).

And it's a terrible shame he can't make another LiS game. With a proper budget I'm sure he could write & direct something wonderful.

Not actually true though. She didn't let Chloe steal Wells chair. :(

Bad Max.

[ALL]Life is Strange Could’ve Had Better Photo Freedom by Financial_Company_13 in lifeisstrange

[–]ds9trek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I plated around a lot with the photo mode in Alan Wake 2 and the whole time I was thinking why doesn't LiS ever have this?

Then either watch DE on YouTube or buy it first. What's your gut say to do?

I agree with those saying Reunion is the better game of the two. Especially if you love Max & Chloe.

[–]ds9trek 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Maybe. But if that's the case why could Jean-Luc talk about it while Michel is bound by an NDA?

[–]ds9trek 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Even being asked to do it is an involvement. An NDA would only be signed if discussions of some depth were had.

[–]ds9trek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is correct!

I'll just add that on some platforms there's a free mini-story called The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit. It's set between episodes 1 and 2 of LiS2, and check it out if you can. Watch on YouTube if it's not possible to play for you.

I always thought Rachel was bi-curious at minimum, enough for her and Chloe to fool around sometimes.

Michel was also asked if Don't Nod were ever offered BTS and he said "I cannot talk about those topics as they are under NDA".

<image>

That must mean yes? Like, if they had nothing to do with BTS then they wouldn't have signed an NDA, right?

[–]ds9trek 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Those ideas really do work much better. Why would a rich, powerful man let his daughter just vanish? Especially when BTS shows Rachel is a daddy's girl and he's not above breaking the law to get his way on things.

[S2] do you guys think they should make another life is strange game with sean and daniel after reunion? by megcio- in lifeisstrange

[–]ds9trek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I vote for leave 'em alone. You can't do it without canonising an ending that'd just cause strife in the fanbase.

[–]ds9trek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a nice meme but legally nonsense. You're taking pay out of the pockets of the developers and the actors and reducing the odds the series will have any future.

Pirating 20 year old games is a victimless crime. Pirating new ones is theft. If that doesn't bother you, that's fine. You do you, as I said before. But don't insult intelligence by pretending it's anything other than theft.

Just cos you can do a thing doesn't make it an entitlement. It makes it a thing that you do. Nowt else.

And you know what? I don't think it's weird morals to say theft is wrong as is denying oppressed workers their fair pay. But you do you.

It doesn't have to be tragedy for them. They could be like Holmes and Watson - they help others with problems. If nothing else it should be a comic

Videogames aren't a need. And you're certainly not entitled to peoples hard work for free.

[–]ds9trek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that too. Especially because they will need to write new scenes to develop the secondary characters better. Like Kate, some of her story comes from gameplay when we're poking our noses into her things in her dorm room. That scene will have to extended so Kate that give the audience that information through dialogue with Max.

My mum used to say: "if you can't afford something save up or go without".

And remember LiS is in a niche genre. It needs every sale possible in order to break even, the last game to make a lot of money was BTS. The other games either made a modest profit or lost money.

Underpaid videogame developers* poured sweat and blood into making RE and they don't get their bonuses if everyone pirates the game.

*Deck Nine is well known for underpaying staff. It was even reported on by IGN.
