@alphavasson5387 4 ай бұрын

@@introspectivesteps5433I think there are several different reasons people didn't like lis2 as much as lis/lis:bts that had nothing to do with the story quality. Certainly one of them was that people were expecting to see Max and Chloe again and were disappointed when Sean and Daniel were revealed to be the main characters. Both lis and lis:bts were about Arcadia Bay, Blackwell, and Chloe, so people were expecting that trend to continue. I also think it's why lis:tc did better than lis2 - by the time tc came out people were already expecting it was going to be about different characters, so they weren't as disappointed. Tc also brought back Steph who was a very beloved character from bts. Other than that, the episodic release times also proved pretty disastrous for lis2. While both lis and bts were released per episode, there was a relatively reasonable time between releases. For lis2, people had to wait months and months for the next episode to come out, and most people don't have the attention span to stay excited about a release for that long. Also, when the 1st episode of lis2 was released, there was no confirmation or even hints that the series would continue with its queer themes. It wasn't until ep3 released that Sean could have a queer relationship with Finn, and even that romance path was locked behind a morality choice, meaning many players never got to see it. (Disclaimer: I'm by NO means saying this last reason was the only reason lis2 was unpopular, just saying it was A reason for SOME people): unfortunately, there was some racism and xenophobia against these characters. Nearly all the central characters of lis and bts, Max, Chloe, Rachel, Warren, Kate, Steph, Nathan, Victoria, etc., etc., were all white Americans, and well... Sean and Daniel, the main characters of lis2 were Latino, and their father Esteban was a Mexican immigrant. Police violence, Trumpism, Mexican/Central/South American immigration, and a lot of the political issues lis2 dealt with were very contentious topics at the time it came out (2018/2019). Having the catalyst be an unfair, racially-motivated police shooting and having multiple Trump-supporter characters be so brutal and dehumanizing towards Sean, Daniel, and Lyla right off the bat in the first episode turned a lot of people away. It wasn't until 2020 that the massive Black Lives Matter movement erupted, and it wasn't until 2021 that the Trumpian rioters invaded the Capitol - both events being ones that majorly shifted public opinion, and both happening after the complete release of lis2. I truly believe that if lis2 had been released after these events (maybe some time in 2021 or 2022?) that it would've been received MUCH better. I think it was just too ahead of its time to gain much popularity, sadly.

@jaminschmitt 2 жыл бұрын

Blood Brothers ending seems like the best ending but I prefer the ending where Sean gets what he wants (connecting with his fathers old place in Mexico and connecting with his friends from the Wasteland) while Daniel gets what he wants (growing up with the family he knows and being able to visit Karen). When Daniel is old enough he will be able to visit his brother (assuming his ankle bracelet gets taken off eventually). So much better than living like criminals.

Yea it is THE best one Made me proud when Daniel did what was right. (Though i was so shocked when he left me/sean) They were separated but they got what they deserved (more or less) It didn't bother me much that they were separated cause I was proud of daniel. Those moments I took to really bond with Daniel felt so real lmao. Teaching him to skip stones, the power bear claw machine... The sunsets, hide and seek... All the while learning to always do the right thing with his powers... Man... The circumstances and especially his powers demanded a lot from him. In that ending he grew up the absolute best way he could. :) I actually had only just finished it 4 hours ago

@Adrian2140 Жыл бұрын

I mean, they still live like criminals. One is exiled, the other is literally on house arrest. I chose the redemption arc because well, they DID commit felonies. If they had given themselves up within the first few days, Daniel would have probably ended up with his grandparents anyway while Sean would have been off in just a few years or avoided jail completely. Social media is not a court of law. It doesn't matter what people posted on the facebook equivalent, there was absolutely no way to link him to the death of the officer. He was unarmed and he really did kill that neighbor guy. It was an accident but a death is still a death, in a court of law he would have gotten convicted, even if it were a light sentence.

I actually got Cassidy my first time while trying to get all ending because I didn't want to steal but I changed that really quickly because I wanted Finn to get his dream house P.S Chris can find a comic of his mom and dad trying to have sex for the first time after he's born that his mom drew, it's really funny lol

I love these games so much. The first one was iconic and heart wrenching and has its own special place in my heart, but the second one just hit me in a different way. It felt so much more realistic and I found myself having a real attachment to Daniel that made it so much more emotional at the end. At the time when I played it, I had a job teaching kids music lessons, and one of my favorite students (yes I had favorites, every teacher does) was so damn similar to Daniel, it felt like he was literally in the game. Also I felt that not having the power in your own control was an amazing idea, it made you focus more on how your surroundings and relationships are affected by actions. Also the settings for each episode were perfect to fit the vibe of the story. Idk man I just love the game so much and I don't understand why people give it so much hate.

37:43 While you're talking about Sean's death foreshadowing, there's some foreshadowing with Snowmancer and Sky Pirate and maybe even the stuffed animal in Jacob's tent that Sean is going to lose his eye. Both beginning with S, Snowmancer (who trained Captain Spirit like Sean trained Daniel) and Sky Pirate (who talked to Captain Spirit on the walkie-talkie like Sean talks to Daniel on the walkie-talkie while wearing an eyepatch in ep5) are two representations of Sean in Captain Spirit. There is a TON of foreshadowing in Captain Spirit in general. I joke that I've found 150% of the intended foreshadowing there.

@Dreamprism 2 жыл бұрын

I thought of something else worth mentioning. I forget if it requires freecam or not, but you can see in the Redemption ending that Sean's prison is located in Arizona. Comparing it to photos of the exterior of the infamous Tent City jail in Maricopa County Arizona (run by Sheriff Joe Arpaio), it seems to me to be the same location. This makes the Redemption ending even worse than most people think it is. Dontnod just really wanted to stab players in the heart by having Sean imprisoned in the jail with the worst reputation for care of prisoners in the entire country. Coincidentally, during the time LiS2 was being made, the decision was made IRL to shut down Tent City. But Dontnod probably finished that environment before seeing the news.

@RaphaelleLD 2 жыл бұрын

oh wow, that's heartbreaking. I always assumed that Sean was imprisoned in Oregon, but the fact that he was in Arizona means that he couldn't see Daniel as often as I thought he did, which is so sad. And of course what you mentioned about their treatment of prisoners is awful too. It explains why Sean seems so broken at the end, when he's crying at Mt Rainier. Thanks for explaining this!

Every time I talk to people about the the "Redemption" ending in LiS 2 I feel like they really don't get how bad this ending is. How poorly Sean had it and how poorly he will have it for the rest of his life. American felons have no rights, no job options, no housing options, nothing. And it really just reinforces the racisms of the American legal system. There is no actual evidence of anything. But they are brown, so it had to be them. This is of course, assuming Sean even lives. I had a friend theorize she he takes his own life after the end we see, and that would be not unheard of. it's just such a devastating ending and I don't think people understand that.

@kominion 2 жыл бұрын

I know most of these because I play LIS2 constantly for fic writing purposes lol, but a lot of this was informative too. I didn’t know about the Oxenfree radio easter egg, that’s awesome! Also, the voice in the episode 4 trailer is Officer Campbell, the cop who interrogated Sean at the police station. And for one I’d like to add, Daniel’s ankle monitor in Parting Ways connects to the newspaper article “Bus Avoids Lake Tragedy Due To Miracle”. In the Redemption ending, Daniel acts happier and more carefree, because Sean shielded him from consequence and took responsibility for his powers. But in Parting Ways, he accepted responsibility (at least for himself), so he was forced to learn those lessons on his own and likely got seen by someone on the bus. It might also connect to the “Wolf Brothers” tree carving in the Reynolds back yard. In the loading screen, it’s a big wolf chasing a little wolf, but in the carving, it’s the little one chasing the bigger one, so he might’ve tried to run away from home to visit Sean.

I started watching this yesterday and had to pause it and come back to it. The endings to me are far more complex than at surface level. * Blood Brothers for example, the guys realistically have to become what society has spent the entire game accusing them of being. Their dad dies because a cop assumes they are criminals, they get kid napped but the shop owner because he assumes they are criminals. They have to become those things and the game even strongly hints at robbing from gangs to live in Mexico. * Parting Ways Sean has a black glass eye just like in BB and this hints at evil. Which again, is the game just playing into this BS stereotype that is portrayed on them. They go through everything just to never see each other again. And D is on probation even 6 years later for a crime they have no proof he committed. * Lone Wolf - we all know is terrible. D effectively gets punished for refusing to give into the villain of the entire game, racism and his brother dies for it. * Redemption - The worst ending IMO. The ending that says the only way Sean gets a "good" eye is that he goes to prison for FIFTEEEN YEARS for a crime he didn't even do that they have no proof he did (again because he's brown so he had to have done it) and comes out broken. Zero options. He can't vote (current heavy debate in America). He will have very little job options, little housing options. Based on American statistics, he's some kind of addict, and will likely attempt suicide. The American prison system is already for profit and abusive, based off the signs he was in AZ which has some of the MOST abusive prison systems in the country. This ending is just SO terrible. All four endings, the villain of the game actually wins. Whether that means our guys have to become what society says they are, they get punished for fighting society (Sean dies), they get split up and never see each other again, or Sean pays for their hate (prison). I love this game and I love the issues it addresses, but it's just so sad. And, real. This game is America for POC. And I hate that the ending where they get to be together requires them to be selfish, mean and shitty people. There is nothing selfish about wanting to just be left alone and live your life. I want the cannon ending to be Blood Brothers.

One more thing. You touched on this topic when saying choices carry over from Captain Spirit, but one "choice" that a lot of people don't realize carries over is your precise score on Mustard Party 2. There's a certain score (I forget what it is, but it's listed on the wiki in the Christmas Market section where it mentions Daniel & Chris's idle dialogue) that if you have a higher score then Chris says his score is higher than Daniel's but with a lower score Chris says his score isn't that high. It's significantly higher than the score needed to get the "high score" in Mustard Party 2 in CS.

@Dreamprism 2 жыл бұрын

You could call that iceberg item "Daniel's Mustard Party Score"

@tristezaeternal 2 жыл бұрын

It also changes the dialogue between Big Joe and Cass, bc if I recall it correctly if Dan played Mustard Party Big Joe will be angry and Daniel will proudly tell he is on the scoreboard, and Cass will roast BJ for not getting on the scoreboard. And if Daniel didn't play it BJ will be laughing while playing. It's fair to assume that he is winning in that case.

@Dreamprism 2 жыл бұрын

@@tristezaeternal I think you're talking about something different. I'm not talking about whether or not Dan played Mustard Party in Episode 1. I'm talking anout whether or not Chris beat Dan's score in Captain Spirit. Also, there's no reception in the forest & the phone dies before Dan finishes the game anyway, so I don't even think Dan playing Mustard Party in episode 1 influences that dialogue with Big Joe. I don't remember for certain, but I want to say that dialogue is just determined by whether or not you stood up (white knighted) for Cassidy a bit earlier; if you didn't stand up for her, then they have that dialogue. But if you did, then some other dialogue replaces it. Again, I could be wrong here.

I also have a plastic eye (refuse to call it glass because it makes me feel 70 years old) and I always loved the representation that lis2 gave. my depth perception is also fucked in so many ways but having never been able to see out of my eye (it was removed due to disease) I don't know about it until other people point it out. anyways I would say the change in colour in Sean's prosthetic is due to either it being fitted while he was in prison or him paying for it/choosing in Mexico. I live in the UK so mine was free, but if I wanted more than the one in my face, it would be upwards of like £2000, so I imagine the prison system/government in America is not dropping that on a custom eye. whereas in Mexico I bet he could find people who were willing/able to craft them on the cheap, so he had the freedom to have whatever he wanted. in the clinic I go to, there are pictures on the wall of soldiers who got their coat of arms on their eye when they lost it in battle. I, however, was an anxious 13 year old and just wanted a normal eye lol
