This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

Unfortunately outside of Life is Strange, they didn't really do anything interesting.

While Life is Strange (the original) is probably the best story, the second game was technologically the best. While the first, and many other "choices matter" adventure games let you make choices that steer the story in meaningful ways (and show you how your choices stacked up against your friends and other gamers), Life is Strange 2 didn't. The choices you made contributed to choices made by an NPC (your character's brother), and you could not always predict how he would react. Your choices manipulated a couple of hidden scores. How much he respected you and how much he liked you. But there was a random element as well. There was never a sure fire way to control the little brother. You still make choices that affect the story, but it's really his story, and some of his choices mattered more. Pricefield is still one of my favourite ships, and that's from the first game (and, I guess, the new one, but I haven't played the last two, just the first three).

I liked Remember Me, it had some cool ideas at the time.

I started Remember Me and Tell Me Why. Got bored real quick with them both. Remember Me, I spent less time with. I should really try it again, see where it goes.

Remember Me was interesting as a concept, but the gameplay was very “we have Arkham Asylum at home.”

[–] zaphod@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 days ago

I mean I played it 13 years ago, but I remember I liked it.

I mean, at the end of life is strange 1,only one choice mattered and all other choices had 0 impact

I mean, I also liked Remember Me so much that the art book for it is on my shelf.
