@@Apjooz Voice director yeah, and it's absolutely their fault. Voice actors are picked on what they can potentially do but are paid to do exactly what the director wants them to do.
I am absolutely unconvinced Chloe from this game evolves into Chloe from the first game, she's a troubled kid getting tied up in something more than she can handle but in the first game she's getting mad at Max for not shooting a guy for her and not letting her steal thousands of dollars from a fund for disabled students, like, jeez
holy shit at this point my sides when Joseph says that voice with anything followed with "... That's true!" "northernlion does have a high tolerance for bullshit, he did like tenant, that's true, but im gonna need three more reasons ..." lmfaooo

you know its bad when i have a family history that parallels the horrible situation rachel is going through very similarly, which should make the entire story hit home much closely, and i STILL dont care about whats going on
If my adopted parents were loving and I knew my birth parents were self destructive drug addicts, I wouldn't want to meet them. It would be like meeting that one smelly dangerous uncle, that you are forced to greet in christmas, nobody enjoys that.

However to be honest, if you look at the massive majority of professional reviews/journalists most of the time the public scores are higher than theirs. This is in not only games, but TV shows, books, movies, etc, etc, etc. It is the job for professional reviewers/journalists to criticize the flaws they see and point them out as well as mention positive things. I believe the persons original goal was to simple point out they simply disliked this video for the fact the game was rated 1/10.

Eh, my parents went through my room when I was a teen. I actually had stuff in there. Neither Chloe or I have a job so you can piece together that they’re getting money for it from bad means. I just look back on that with complete regret now and have opted to be a better son. I’m not saying how David handled that whole interaction was good, it wasn’t, but like Joe said there’s a time and place for breaching privacy. There’s a way to have David search the room and also not try to act like he understands who Chloe is.
Also, yeah, why would you care about your real parents if you’ve had zero interactions with them. That parental figure is filled. Maybe I would be spiteful but if they don’t care about me why would I care about them.
Also wow Sera is injected in the neck with heroin (or meth?) and she’s just talking like she’s sober lol. I get that thematically it would make her conversation a mumble drool fest but it’s funny
I mean, there is a reason Joe mentioned “with probable cause, especially with David who Chloe’s _known for less than a year_. He didn’t even bother to clean up after. He just rummaged through her stuff and kept it a mess. Like imagine a guy from a church or a teacher in your school in your house doing that. I was a higher achieving “goody two shoes” but would be mortified my parents seeing my discord chats or my sketchbook. I can’t blame Joe feeling iffy about this situation.
(to the inevitable reply going "hate much?" or such bullshit, please don't be offended, these are just my thoughts and aren't meant to hurt your feelings Edit: someone got hurt anyway) 1. Florence is back! 2. David going through her room is fucked up and Joyce asking him to do so is as well. Joyce is still NTA for bringing David into their life though, but she's fucking it up 3. Joe's takes on parenthood are somehow simultaneously way too simple and way too nuanced at the same time. The use of the word "allowed to" when talking about parents going through their kid's room is pretty funny. 4. Hades is so much easier than Gungeon 5. OMG the fire and it's supernatural spread would make so much more sense if it was connected to Rachel. Well... "sense" 6. "Unfounded desire" looool. Chat's really dumb some times. 7. All other games: consider how the characters would behave with the information they currently have. This game: consider what happens in Life is Strange 1. 8. I absolutely love Joe's reaction to the reviews 9. 100% calling it that people who don't like Life is Strange 2 and True Colors are the "oh no politics (that I disagree with) in an otherwise apolitical medium ... my God"
You are talking to the void mate. Joe won't read it. If he read it, he wouldn't understand what the fuck you were on about because your post is structured like shit. Nobody has any idea what you are responding to. This is not normal. You should stop.
1. Must have missed the reference 2. Agree 3. Agree 4. Haven't played them 5. Agree 6. Missed it 7. Sure 8. If something has good writing, puts the story before the message, and has tact and subtly it normally doesn't matter. Game of Thrones is an antiwar story written by a hippie, enjoyed by a large variety of people. Top Gun is relatively pro patriotism, yet also enjoyed by a variety. If your going to have a message, make sure it doesnt matter more than the story.
You thinking people hate LiS and True Colors because of their politics is wild...they just aren't good games. I'm left and liked LiS 1 decently enough but LiS 1 was mostly benign. LiS 2 has a lot to say but not very nuanced takes on it...for example, parents being allowed to rummage through their kids rooms. Normally I'm against that, but Chloe is underage and doing drugs/alcohol. ABSOLUTELY HER PARENTS SHOULD BE CHECKING HER ROOM. Marijuana is addicting, you can overdose on it and become psychotic, and do you know how much regular alochol use affects an undeveloped brain? How many highschool kids die from alcohol poisoning? But the game paints Chloe as being justified and right in being mad that David went through her room...never a single solitary second is spent criticizing Chloe for the actions she takes that lead to David rummaging through her room. In fact, the game _glorifies_ and _normalizes_ highschool kids drinking and doing drugs. I know the game is meant to portray Chloe spiraling but you can do that without _making the spiral look fun and demonizing the characters trying to save her._ David is a rough character but Chloe is a little sht whose gonna get herself killed if someone doesn't step in, and he recognizes that. The game tries to paint him as a control freak but realistically, he's a military man who just doesn't know wtf to do with Chloe or how to help her. His demands of Chloe are not wild. But nah we're supposed to hate him, apparently, because he's ex-military. No mention btw of how he himself may be struggling to adjust to civilian life, whole potential plotline there where they could bond over not understanding where they fit in in life, nah nah he needs to be the awful stepfather because...? How did the story benefit from his character being so one note again?

I hope "I'm really starting to think this isn't a dream" becomes a meme.
You know it's bad when Joe says "it's Hello Neighbor bad".
But is it Gollum bad? 🤔
You know it's bad when Max is considered "the lesser evil" in terms of protags.
One thing that drove me crazy playing this was how slow they all speak. Especially Rachel’s Step-Mum. Even she sounds bored
True Colors the same thing. They probably share a voice director or whatever it's called who wants that kind of performance.

Rachel Amber is quite simply not a good person. Chloe is probably not the first person she’s done this to
Was Mr Jefferson based?
@@stevemclovin1566yes

you actually get 3 star signs!
Narratively, this game should not exist. It does a huge disservice to the original game.
"The dialogue is acted."

Damon Merrick is actually Rachel Amber’s real father
14:59 Wowwww Joe really hating on insulin users smh
