Looks......a little heavy handed with the story there. The kid um..

uhh..

maybe shooting a cop & running away to mexico with his younger brother?

That's kind of a bit heavy. But it's not as heavy as everything that Mr Jefferson did in the org LiS comparatively.. *twitch*

There is so much wrong here & is probably why I won't get it day one. I don't like how the whole situation is handled with how the main boys are forced to run away. The whole situation could have been completely different. But no the writers decided to go, the route of 'white cop shoots minority' route because it's what's to be expected in the 'real world'. No, just no. Not all cops are like that. Some are, but if they are their departments should deal with them, not turning it into a social gamer commentary. This is sloppy impo, & honestly it really makes me angry.

The story could have gone a completely different way, the boy goes down after the fight starts & then when the other main character starts to realize the bully is convulsing, he could have taken out his phone & called 911. He runs to get the bullies father, & HE'S THE ONE who pulls out the gun. That I could see, cause it's bound to happen. But the whole thing that's shown is just......so.......disappointing.. That it's hard to put into words exactly how upset/saddened I am that this is one LiS ride I'm going to missing out on, for quite a while..

I completely understand where your coming from, but the social commentary is to hate on cops. So no one is going to care about what's is going on in their game, cause to most people cops are 'bad' because of insert reason here. It's just the way society paints them, more so with people like Ray Tensing who got off for shooting a minority. I also agree that not all cops are bad either, but there are indeed some bad cops out there, it's the departments who have to put them on trial & show that they are cleaning house before cops are probably seen in a different light.

Still, I agree a bit. I did enjoy Captain Spirit, but from what I've seen... Your right, the script writers are not only heavy handed with the writing, but sloppy with executions. There are so many different ways the boys could have 'been forced' to run away then what what is shown in the gameplay video that I watched.

I can see where your both coming from, but they had to be placed in a position where they had to run away from home, since the LiS staff didn't want a repeat of the first game. It'd be interesting if how you can get them to run away could be affected by other things outside of the cop doing what he does in the game. I'd actually like that a lot more, but we're probably stuck with what is shown above.

Update: The First Episode for Life Is Staange 2 is now avaible for purchase & download. It's been hard for me not to support the title & just get it. But on the flip side, I can wait a few month's & get it for $20 new at the store.

Patience gaming is a great thing, you often get the "Full" version of the game with patches for the same price as the release if not cheaper.
Even more so if its a game you are on the fence about.

I wish I did that with Wolfenstien 2, but nooo I had to get the collectors edition, stupid PM STUPID!

[queenzelda]

Like with past LIS titles when the entire season has releaeed, about a month after that its usually a lot cheaper to get cause they usually go on sale. With it being so blatantly poltical, Imma pass on this one for now. Maybe when it goes on sale by Christmas or etc, I'll think about it. Otherwise, I'm not paying $40 for a political piece fed to me by mediocre writing from how a lot of reviews read. Which surprises me none.

Atmo, it has its fans already thanks to my seeing squarenix retweet high praise. :eyeroll:

Also, Chloe if you want to get LiS2 get it. Just because I have issues with its political tone doesn't mean you have to miss out. Or anyone else for that matter. Get it & enjoy. Or don't. Just because one person has sour grapes about a game, shouldn't mean that this person & how they feel allow you to miss out if you don't wish to. *hugs*

Aww! Your so swset, more so since I caved when it was given to me as a reward for acing a test, thx dad! I've yet to start a file, been busy! Of course.

[queenzelda]

Welp, with the Halloween PSN sale I got this title for HALF OFF. Which is better then paying full price, I don't mind paying half for it since I didn't want to pay full price anyway. I plan to start a file soonish. :3
