Games have really got to stop claiming they're going to "revolutionize" a genre. That annoys me far more than it should.

"I think these characters are kinda one dimensional" is a thread killer now?

I dunno, I have a feeling the entire game is going to be fairly toothless when it comes to actions and consequence. I see a lot of people falling into the same trap they did with early Walking Dead episodes (myself included!) - that because says it adapts mean it actually will.

The time travel thing is neat, but it strikes me as a very meta way of seeing everything more than anything that's going to heavily impact the plot.

Isn't the conceit that some of your choices have long term implications further down the road than you can rewind? Like you can see the immediate aftermath and revert it, sure, but doesn't it say something to the effect of 'this choice will have long term consequences'?

This is pretty much what every single game has promised, ever, though.

Where the hell were you all when someone had a different opinion on any other game's writing.

And they're just a smidge over 18 so nobody feels guilty about it.

Bet you thought Thelma and Louise were just two gals being pals

Did they start scissoring when they drove off that cliff or something.

There are plenty of movies about women being friends. Thelma and Louise ain't one of them. Sorry you had to find out this way.

you do realize women can be close and love one another in a platonic fashion without lesbianism being involved, right

Of course I do.

Doesn't change a thing here, though.

What, that the protagonists have a relationship that is either platonic or homosexual depending on how it develops, and is not explicitly one or the other?

I mean dude, you're getting very angry that not everyone has chosen a particular path with the characters.
