I SHOULD KEEP MY DUMB MOUTH SHUT INSTEAD OF SPEWING HORSESHIT ABOUT THE ORBITAL MECHANICS OF THE JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT A LAGRANGE POINT IS?
Life Is Strange is the most depressing game you will ever play.

I liked it. I often wondered if people's expectations weren't met as it wasn't Final Fantasy related in the least. I hated it when I watched it, for that reason. When I went back years later, and looked at it with a more appropriate lens, it's quite good.

Thats the thing people always say, that it wasn't Final Fantasy enough, but what that means is confusing because every FF game is completely different.

It was a great movie. I just shouldn't have had the "Final Fantasy" in its title. It would've drawn audiences just because Squaresoft was behind it; putting FF in the title caused a lot of folks to have expectations that didn't match up with what the movie was.

So am I just missing something or is Project Diva X not getting a song season pass? I see a couple songs are up, but no way to buy them in bulk (and also no new costumes???). Are we just not getting much DLC with this one?

I mean sure but there are elements that are the same like chocobos and moogles and cactaurs and swords and a general fantasy aesthetic (some of the games have a more scifi opera thing but it's still more fantasy than scifi) that weren't really in the movie.

I remember watching that movie and my only experience with FF was 1 and 7, so I naturally very confused.

Except for a name drop or two, the movie had very little to do with the franchise anyway. However, it's not bad and the SF setting was well realized for its time. I'm 100% sure the Mass Effect devs stole most of the designs the movie came up with.

I think that The Spirits Within isn't infamous because it's a bad movie, but because it bombed so badly that it was a major factor in the Square/Enix merger.

Is it worth looking at the Trine colleciton if I already have Trine 2: Enhanced? I know 3 had some issues, so if 1 is just a less-refined version of 2 then I suppose there isn't much point eh?

Also 3 does allow couch co-op if I was reading things correctly?

I definitely felt the slap at the end of that game. Not enough to make me hate the game, but enough that I don't go around recommending it to people.

In comparison I will say that the ending of Life is Strange is literally the only way I could have imagined it ending and I feel it's perfectly thematically cohesive with the rest of the game.

However, while I played LoS blind, I played all five chapters in a row instead of with a gap between which may impact how I viewed it. I think a lot of people who played it point-to-point had time to built up theories and ideas that didn't get lived up to and missed that the game is fundamentally a tragedy about 'what ifs' rather than a time travelling adventure game.

Edit: Regardless, I think it's completely worth playing. The last chapter has some wonky moments but even then it's worth it.

I thought it was utterly awful and I very rarely have that strong a negative reaction to a game. I suppose it might be more playable if you stick to sword and board but trying to avoid damage any other way was just a chore.
