Expecting meaningful choice in a game like that is just setting yourself up for disappointment. If you go in with an open mind, it's a fantastic game.

I can understand that by saving cloe it means that she fucked up the time in order to do it, so leaving her to die it means that nothing happened and the universe is at peace.

But my grip is: why putting the bad guy in jail didn't have the same consecuences as with cloe? In order to learn who the bad guy was, were is his victim, were his torture chamber is, etc, she needed the time-travel power so the tornado should have happened here too.

VNs have alternate routes all the time. The only reason these western 3D VNs don't do it is higher production values paired with incompetence. It's not impossible to make a few alternate endings with requirements other than "Push A for ending A. Push B for ending B."

I was wondering the same thing, the only explanation I can think of is that he would have gotten busted in the original timeline in the first place.
Nathan probably doesn't get away with shooting Chloe, and maybe he rats Jefferson out or at least tells the cops about his bunker. I think we needed more scenes to fill that gap

>>380076826
I agree with this. If you don't have to focus on gameplay or graphics, you should be able to put that focus into making a story with choices that matter and branching paths. What if a choice you made in Episode 2 of a game fractured the game and episode 3, 4 and 5 were totally different because of that choice? That would be cool.

What did they mean by this?

I disagree with the complaint that "no choices matter because in the end you only have 1 choice."

Every choice you make may not affect what two options you are given, but they do affect what choice you personally will make. If all of the choices you made allowed you to somehow sympathize and care for Chloe more than the town, then those choices you made do matter because it changes what your final decision will be. And the same vice versa. It all adds to the story you are experiencing, and in the end the choices you make change the shape of that story and then you can decide how that story ultimately ends.

>>380080317
Choices along the way also affect other things, like other characters dying or not, how characters feel about you, how things work out for people.

I enjoyed the ride but I agree with the pic, the ending was the most unsatisfying shit I've seen in awhile.

It's not even the fact that it all boils down to that, i just think the gimmick of it wasn't well explained and just felt extremely unsatisfying no matter which choice I went with

The problem is all of those factors revolve around a lesbian romance in which one girl is a blue haired dyke, and LiS started when the post-goobergrape anti-feminist/SJW crusade was still strong.
Naturally /v/ didn't like it at the time, and once there's a (more or less) status quo opinion on /v/ it'll never change.

>>380090839
Cartagra/Kara No Shoujo series
Ever17
Muv-Luv series (even that awful original one)
Bible Black/Discipline/Starless hentaishit games from Soujo

All of these are ones I have played/read, and they all have undefined main characters with little depth so that player choices can in general determine them (and even then, player choices don't make that big a difference in portrayal of personalities either.)

>>380090839
you didn't play Fate at all if you think the quality of any character in Life is Shit comes anywhere close to Shirou

>imagine trying to impress anonymous people on the internet so much that you'd define your tastes by what they deem acceptable

>>380067480
Even Black Ops 2 had fairly meaningful choices. There's no excuse for this shit in such a story driven game. And even if you have no standards and don't care if your choices matter, it's a poorly written game with braindead puzzles and a wasted time travel mechanic anyway. Whether you go in with an open mind or not, you won't enjoy this shit unless you're a desperate /u/fag or you're desperate to re-live highschool.

I think this is an acceptable mindset in some circumstances, but both the journey and the destination in LiS are complete shit.

>comfy setting

I enjoyed it

You won't see me defending it. It was reasonably entertaining, but its atmosphere and song choice carried it. The story really is quite shitty and is even worse at the end. It's also the epitome of horrible use of time travel in a narrative

This was a really nice game, at least until the bad final episode.

Sometimes that's enough, a game that feels nice.

Hopefully they True Detective up the sequel and make it about new characters and story
