Tell Me Why - Life is Strange 3: You're a tranny now.

If the game were made ~10 years ago it would be about a crazy, abusive mother who wanted two daughters and tried convincing herself and the boy that he was a girl.
But now it's the opposite. Gotta help normalize horrifying mental illness.

What, Aerannis doesn't count?

Oh wait, that was a B- platformer about a tranny that wasn't super good, had the message that being trans sucks, and was basically a budget version of The Last Night. Of course that doesn't count.

I only played the first episode of the first season of Life is Strange, the one featuring Max, the 18 year old that talked like a """"hip"""" 50 year old and Beanie Cap Skater Girl Trope #12. It was one of the very few games I intentionally put down. Not like, "got distracted by something else" put down, but conscientious effort "no thank you," put down. Main reason why I couldn't get into it, besides the attrocious "to cool for school" hipster-speak, was that it felt like every character was thought up by a high school creative writing class. Oh, this character is a Christian, therefore she's all mousey and demure. Oh this character is rich, therefore she's a stuck up bitch. Hello token, inoffensive black character! Hello token fat character that can't stand up for themselves! Hello manipulative white guy stereotype 1 through 5! So, maybe by the end of the first game they were more fleshed out or something, but all I know is that is that the town may or not have been destroyed by Sappho Surprise and that is enough for me to give it a pass.

Now with Life Is Strange: Return to the Diverstiy Well - this doesn't surprise me in the least. This doesn't even qualify an eyeroll from me, because Dontnod is setting themselves up for a fucking fall. The usual neckbeard dumbfucks are going to be the usual neckbeard dumbfucks, and the usual Let's Get Bitchin' Tacos groups are going to shower this with praise... until when the game comes out and then everyone remembers "Oh yeah, this is a game written by Dontnod," and the "first main transgender character" is going to yet another character built entirely on "positive" stereotypes and will not bring anything new and/or insightful.

All the same... just whatever. I don't even care anymore.

...

Also, another forgotten Dontnod game: Remember Me. Actually don't all that terrible. Fighting mechanics leave a lot to be desired but the design of the game is awesome, the Time Rewriting Mechanics in Life is Strange 1 were stolen wholecloth from this game too.

You've been reading my mind and writing with my pen.
LIS is a shit series. No one talks or interacts like that teen, parent, or adult teacher. The writing was absolute shit.
It was free on Steam for a while. Free was too much.

I'm with you. I thought the first one was decent and while it didn't wow me I thought the seeds were there for something good later down the line. The sequel (2, not BtS) was boring as fuck, though. Worse in literally every aspect other than graphics/facial movements. I don't see this new game improving on anything.

Loved Life is Strange, don't give a single shit about Tell Me Why or Twin Mirror. Exclusivity aside, I just don't care, the characters don't interest me in the slightest.

Have fun with 41% simulator, DONTNOD.

Wasn't that a bad translation when the game was translated to English? That's what i heard some time ago

Calling it now, the twist at the end is either
A) the mother/father was sexually abusive and that’s the reason one of the twins trooned out

B) the tranny twin is just an imagination of the girl dealing with childhood trauma and her secret wish to be a man

At this point, the devs are doomed to go the same way as TellTale. The first LiS was lightning in a bottle, catering to journos; tumblr and waifufags while giving the option to be a lesbian.
The second one doesn’t cater as nearly much to those groups while still having the option to be gay (what did they mean by this lmfao) and having brilliant political commentary („everything is political my dude“ - soyboy Journalist living on the road, having wealthy parents) this one is probably going to be less successful as LiS2. Hell, they still haven’t released the last episode of LiS2.

Yeah no, the people behind Life is Strange can't write for shit (at the very least for LiS kind of crap) while despite all their faults Telltale could write a story when they actually tried from time to time (they were some bad stories by Telltale i admit) (there where good stories like their San and Max games and most of their games TWD at the very least didn't make feel sick like the writing in LiS made me feel when i tried to listen to it through Life is Dranks, i lasted through those streams until i couldn't take it anymore in the stream for episode 2)

Sorry to necro a thread, but I just found out that this game existed five minutes ago and I'm ready to drink vodka straight from the bottle.

Pretty much every single article I could find on it is screaming "FIRST TRANSGENDER MAIN CHARACTER! FIRST TRANSGENDER MAIN CHARACTER! also idk some mystery shit but FIRST TRANSGENDER MAIN CHARACTER!"


The thing that gets me is that if you pay attention you'll notice that there seems to be a scene implying that Tyler started transitioning as a child. And I suspect that, with most dontnod games, anyone who suggests that this is a bad thing will be written as a hammy bigot with no redeeming qualities.

Dontnod needs to get its shit together. That Captain Spirit mini-game was neutral in that there were no politics to it; Life is Strange was preachy here and there; but Before the Storm and Life is Strange 2 has really ramped up the insufferable preachiness that I think is driving away more people than they realize. They have a real problem with "the good people are who I say they are, even if they're hypocritical shit-heels with few to no redeeming qualities", and anyone they intend to be a villain gets written in the most over-the-top way.

I hope that just like Life is Strange, this game will also be full of revolutionary gaming innovations, like being able to sit down or sacrifice a bunch of innocent people and children for one insufferable dangerhair cunt.

Dontnod has not learned their goddamn lesson where Chloe is concerned. That's why they gave her a prequel story: They legitimately do not get that most people who were into Chloe were posturing SJWs that are willing to cut 1000 yards of slack to their "precious gay babies", even when said "precious gay babies" are abusive cunts who treat their love-interest like shit the minute she fails to do what they tell her to, and are willing to steal money from a school that was going to use the money to create handicap entrances for the building.

I guarantee you that if Tyler or Alyson (or both) ends up being an asshole, we will be expected to find them sympathetic and see them as the good guys regardless of how shitty their behavior is.

Incidentally, there's another dontnod game coming out this year too: Twin Mirror.


There's been relatively little released about the plot, even though it's supposed to be out sometime this year (to be fair, that was pre-corona-chan). It's going to be an "Epic Games Store Exclusive" for the first year of its release, whatever that means.

Interestingly, there's also been no word thus far about any identity politics shit for this one. Main character's a guy, so it's probably not feminism; he's white, so probably not racism; if I had to guess, they'll probably make him gay unless they go the Vampyr route and manage to avoid shoving a super-special label on their main character for this one.

It means no one's gonna buy it for a year. Or ever, most likely.

So it's basically Life is Strange 3 but they're not calling it that because LiS2 flopped?

It means that whatever people are motivated enough to critique it will tear it a new asshole and have that standing for MONTHS before it hits the shelves.
 
Sorry for the doublepost, but I feel like it's worth pointing out that the best-received game of this type they made features a character whose entire arc is getting hit by shit.

In LIS2 the player character was a boy which is practically a hate crime and the initial teeth gnashing about "erasure"* probably didn't help it.

*not the gay band, the faggy SJW kind.

(they were both faggy, sjws)

but you could dance and potentially get laid with Erasure.
 
I just wanna know what the fuck happened to Twin Mirror. It looked interesting and it was supposed to come out this year but apart from a vague trailer saying "Coming Soon" that dropped last month there's really been not much about it. You'd think they'd release it first then start working on Tell Me Why.

Maybe they delayed it because the main character is a disgusting white cis man.
