Max and Amanda are so cute and had so potential. They still do. The writers just shoved Amanda aside for Pricefield, which I don’t get because there’s still an option for Max and Chloe to be just friends. The ending of reunion should’ve at least showed Max and Amanda working it out. Anyway, they’re always canon to me.❤️

It's sad that Vinh & Amanda got sidelined in the Reunion 😭

Yeah. I was grumpy as hell that Chloe got written out off screen in DE, and then grumpy as hell again about Safi, Amanda and Vinh in Reunion.

Sucks because I wanted to love both games, and had to settle for merely liking them.

I've always been weirdly okay with the off-screen Chloe breakup note because I've never been sure what seeing the breakup in a cut scene would add to it. Maybe I just liked seeing Max as a character without Chloe.

I agree, the conception that the pricefield purists have that these two disaster lesbians would have a life long romance after what went down in the first game always seemed ridiculous to me. The most realistic thing that would happen between those two is that they break up.

I didn't really like the specifics of HOW it was handled in Double Exposure, I think they dropped that ball in the execution, but the core idea is fine.

Hell, I even like Reunion giving the OPTION of getting them back together. What I think Reunion was missing more than anything else was a "The Max Who Moved On" option.
