168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Life is Strange grew beyond Max Caulfield and Chloe Price all the way back in 2018. That was when developer Don't Nod introduced us to Chris Eriksen, the child hero of The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit, which itself was an introduction to Sean and Daniel Diaz, the sibling stars of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Life is Strange 2. Max and Chloe introduced fans to the series but, as I wrote in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:my preview of its latest entry, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Double Exposure, ♏it has always been able to tell different and worthwhile stories by broaden༺ing its scope.
The Trouble With Returning To Max And Chloe
Not for nothing, staying away from Max and Chloe has also allowed Life is Strange to avoid the controversy that comes from returning to characters that fans🙈 have extremely strong feelings about. The fanbase seems to be extremely split on the whole decision to bring Max (but not Chloe) for Double Exposure. I've seen the take that, since Chloe isn't actually a character in the game and since Max has different time control powers in Double Exposure, Deck Nine should have just given the game a different protagonist instead of refusing to dig up the past.
I Have Mixed Feelings About Max Being Brought Back For Life I﷽s Strange: Double E⛦xposure
Don’t Nod’s first protagonist is coming back for Double Expos𒁏ure, but maybe she should have been left in Arcadia Bay🧔.
I don't really agree with this. Hannah Telle is wonderful in the role of Max and her performance is one of my favorite things about the game so far. But also, why wouldn't Max be in a very different place in her late twenties than she was the last time we sa♏w her as a teen? Her powers are different, sure, but that fits wiཧth the theme of her having matured, and lived a life full of pain and growth since the storm at Arcadia Bay. As someone who loved filmmaking and wanted to be a director as a teenager, and who didn't come back to that interest until I was nearing 30, the idea of old parts of yourself returning in slightly different ways seems believable.
One on the situation which has garnered 1,600 likes, calls the decision to sideline Chloe as “a gross and fundamental misunderstanding” of Life is Strange. I understand that take, and other fans of the series seem to resonate with the idea that Max and Chloe's love was too powerful to be 🐠set aside. But I don't agree with it at all. The first Life is Strange — as much as it's a game about Max and Chloe’s relationship — is a game about being a teenager, with all the huge emotions that entails. It's not unlike Titanic or, going further back, Romeo & 💙Juliet.
Teen Romance Rarely Lasts, Even For Characters We Love
ꦫYoung people often feel like they would be willing to kill or die for love. The dramatic irony in both of those stories is that, if you're a few years removed from your teen years, you know that the relationships probably wouldn't work out. The tragic death makes what would otherwise be ephemeral. Max caring deeply about Chloe — so deeply that she's willing to sacrifice Arcadia Bay — is not at odds with them breaking up a few years later. That's usually how young love works.
As it stands, it's bizarre that roughly half of the Life is Strange games are about Max and/or Chloe while half are about unrelated characters. Life is Strange, Before the Storm, and Double Exposure follow Max and/or Chloe's story, while Captain Spirit, 2, and True Colors don't. For an example from another Square Enix joint, it's like if the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Final Fantasy 13 subseries accounted for 50 perce🤪nt of all Final Fantasy games🤡.
There's a clear trade-off happening here. Square Enix wants to go back to the well because fans have an emotional connection to Max that they don't have to a new protagonist. A new Max (or new Chloe game, in the case of Before the Storm) is going🔴 to inspire more buzz than a Life is Strange game with a new character. But when you return to these characters, many fans are going to be annoyed if the game doesn't handle them in exactly the way they want. It's a lose-lose situation, and I wouldn't be surprised if Deck Nine goes with a new protagonist, a la True Colors, for the ❀next Life is Strange installment.
