quadrophrenic posted:The whole game is kind of an interesting test study in ludonarrative dissonance, I think. There are ludic elements that are taken for granted in a lot of adventure games (rifling through an NPC's personal belongings) that, because of the modern and realistic setting, just feel more wrong to do from a narrative standpoint. BUT, because of the time rewind mechanic, you can enjoy being gamey and amoral and still maintain your personal integrity from a narrative standpoint. One thing I liked about that is that if you take the time to talk to all the people hanging around the school It quickly becomes clear that Rachael also had access to the same time travel powers and was basically gaming the system. Every single group you talks to loves her but basically describes a different person, it's with so many people that it's pretty much impossible that she could have mastered everything they claimed unless she was awake 24/7. Then the game has you do the exact same thing as Max in order to gain their friendship, finding out their buttons then rewinding time to press them and make people like you without ever directly correlating the two

InequalityGodzilla posted:So if you can keep your inventory when rewinding time (i.e. the hammer in the bathroom) why can I not take a photo of David yelling at Kate, rewind, and then intervene while still keeping the photo? That one annoyed me because it's basically the writers forgetting their own rules for the sake of having a choice. Especially considering that the whole reason that Max loves analogue Cameras so much is so that she has an excuse for thinking of being able to take photos of the future, keep the physical photo and then rewind

Maleficent posted:games should be taken SERIOUSLY as an ART FORM just like movies and literature roger ebert was WRONG Some games like some films are intended to be more than just light entertainment and should be considered on that basis? Is this really such a controversial statement?
