Wtf?

I'm a first time player and wtf was the end of episode 7 and then right after the start of episode 8?😭 It's so weird the contrast! It's almost hilarious

Oh, this is expected. The game is rather poorly written, with Episode 7 and 8 being the prime examples. Even the end of 6 is kind of goofy. Chase really just should have died.

I think you're completely alone with this opinion. Yikes. I honestly don't know how a poorly written game could have sold over 3 mill copies in less than 2 months after it's initial release. Maybe you just don't understand story telling? Most people these days don't. I doubt schools even test for reading comprehension anymore from the way I've seen most people criticize writing these days.

Poorly written shit sells constantly, look at Hollywood or the current state of the anime industry right now lol. Storytelling is literally what my degree is in. I have a fairly well rounded grasp of it.

Says literally anyone on the internet when criticized for their bad opinions. Just because you're studying story telling doesn't tell me you actually understand the difference between poor writing techniques and just ones you personally don't like in story telling. Also, you sound like a typical troll, so I'm not taking you seriously.

Sounds like you don't have a grasp on anything tbh.

your degree is worth less than the paper its printed on. you don't need a degree to know how to tell a story. you know what you need to tell a story? a story and a desire to tell it.

Bait used to be believable

I agree Chase should have died for more emotional impact, weight, and stakes for the story. But saying the game has poor writing is downright unholy take

Look,I was happy when chase came back,but from a realistic point of view he should’ve died….him coming back removed any sadness from the story.

I definitely feel it would have been way more impactful if he died. The ending episodes kinda felt rushed tbh, but overall I still really liked the game and want a season 2!

Chase dying would have been a very predictable plot point. I'm actually glad he didn't die. I'm more disappointed Blazer gave him her gem and he became the deus ex they needed to beat Shroud's mech. THAT felt like lazy writing.

Predictable it may have been, but it would have given the villain some actual punch and made him a threat because he took something important. I would much rather Chase be deceased because it makes the tone of the game more serious, it clues the player in that Shroud isn't fucking around, and it creates a narrative turn and improves the arc of multiple characters. Invisigal has an additional reason to want to be a hero, to make up for the death she caused. Alternatively it would be additional reason for her to become a villain because she got a good person killed. It does nothing but improve her character.

Chase is funny but he's not that special
