  1. I know SOME OF YOU believe that it's impossible to think video games are pretentious and that anyone who think so just isn't smart enough to "get" the game, but Life is Strange is actually super duper pretentious.

    1. @mrmattimation I know we do not see eye to eye on many things, but not even taking into account the ending the game by itself suffers a whole lot from pretentiousness. But then again that is true for way many more games, it has a whole lot to do with how you yourself are on the perceiving end of the spectrum. Take Loot-hoarding games for example, like Diablo 3 and Borderlands 2. Or pretty much any game by EA of the past few years, WATCH_DOGS and Tom Clancy's The Division. Some have gotten there by attempting to impress me with more, and then doublebacktaking as soon as it turns out that the consoles this generation are weaker than anticipated, or offering me a HARD game and then within 24 hours I am playing it while watching TV because it has become a repetative drag. My point is "eye of the beholder", and since Marketing teams everywhere now have like half the developmental budget, all AAA games seem halfway pretentious to me... *sigh*
