Ive seen people in this topic mention a game called remember me. Would you recommend it? There's been a few times I saw it browsing gamea and it caught my attention but never enough to actually bite.


It's fine. Probably dirt cheap these days. It's kinda like a PS2 era game.

I think it's still like 10-15 dollars which to me is pricy for a non big budget game. But if ita good it will be worth it to me.

Like Life is Strange 2, absolutely nobody will play this if the girls arent cute. Max and Chloe, despite how annoying they could be at times, carried the first game. The predictable writing certainly didnt.

Without spoilers is Life is Strange 2 anywhere near as good as the first?

It's different. So it really depends what you liked about the first one.

You're playing as two brothers on the run. So it's more like a big road trip adventure. Each episode generally deals with a new issues and characters.

The characters are still well written but because of this structure the game feels a lot more slower paced as a whole. It doesn't really escalate each episode as much as the first game did. There's no overarching mystery to build up towards either.

It's still good. But it's very different.

I enjoyed Remember Me. I liked the concept of Life is Strange but it kept railroading you into making bad decisions and I disliked most of the characters I was forced to be with. I didn't like my best friend, I didn't like my love interest, and I didn't have any choices to actually deal with my issues with them.

While it's cool that transgendered people are getting representation in media and entertainment, why does it seem like such a high percentage of it is about transgenders when they are such a low percentage of the real life population?

The tag is fine enough

I disagree, because it means we're still capable of interacting and frankly I don't like dealing with toxic people like you. I've never made use of the ignore feature myself, but I think I'll give it a run. Peace.

High percentage? I think I'd only need one hand to count all of the transgendered video game characters I know and this is the first one that's a main character.

Yeah I'm lost at the high percentage claim. I am struggling to think of trans game characters outside of Read Only Memories. I am probably forgetting some, but just not a common thing at all.

Why does the percentage even matter when people who say stuff like that often use the "games are break from real life" line anyway....

Why are people complaining? Is a game not allowed to have a trans man?

Skye Reynolds posted...
DONTNOD has confirmed that Tyler identifies as a transgender man

While I respect the inclusive nature of this decision either way, I was kind of hoping it was his sister that was the transgender one.

lol >_>

And then there are the cases where it's repeatedly played for sex appeal or humor, rather than just being a trait of a serious character.

I'm not really sure how you can do this without it feeling forced. I don't have a problem with it, it's just, someone sat down and made a decision to have a transgender main character, and something about that just doesn't feel right.
As opposed to all those straight or cis characters that happen by accident. People intentionally make characters. What a crazy thought. Weird how it starts "not sitting right" when it's a character that makes someone uncomfortable.

I don't think there is a way to make a LGBT character that some people won't find weird and pandering beyond simply not making them LGBT

Maybe I'm the only one who thinks that Bill from Last of Us was a good way of having a non forced LGBT introduction. He's introduced as a hardened character who you don't feel the need to question his preferences, and we get the hints and implications as we go along; but that was it. We don't really change our perspective of him too differently of him after we learn these details.

Bill's sexuality isn't relevant to the plot. But sometimes it is. The Last of Us series also has a main character who delves into it in a major way so it has both examples.

In fact I can't really think of many poor examples of LGBT characters in video games. Only one I can think of is the trans character in Mass Effect Andromeda.

There was Kaine in Nier who was a hermaphrodite who identified As a girl

It barely came up at all in the entire plot and people still complained about it.

Look at that guy earlier was complaining because he will read articles about it that he doesn't like.

Some people are just angry, bitter people who want to be perpetually upset or offended. There is no "right way" for these guys

That's why I thought it was good. Its just an in passing tidbit about his character. The same could be done with main characters so you know just a bit more after being established and not something that's meant to linger or become their central trait/story point.

Bill's fine, but Ellie's sexuality being a major focal point of the DLC and sequel is also fine. I hate the idea that gay characters can't have relationships be a focus point.

Don't you know? If a game, movie, book or other piece of media features a minority character, it's automatically pandering.
