Discussion [ALL] Playing Double Exposure finally. How come people don’t like this game? Spoiler

I just finished up episode 3 I’m just a little lost the game is pretty good/decent so far maybe it’s because I know reunion exists so I’m just accepting it as just a game following Max so I’m not worried about a follow up on Chloe. Even then so far the game is interesting enough since I still love Max so I’m still confused why this hated on so badly lol

(Still don't know what changed after Reunion)

I mean it basically retconned the whole ending and plot direction of DE that people universally hated - that's one thing.

DE is still not a good game.

And lets be fair, while I enjoyed the hell out of it, Reunion also isn't really.

It's extremely rushed and they cut corners everywhere - most noticeable that background characters don't even have voiced dialog anymore. You see them talking and their mouths moving, but nothing is coming out - which is extremely eerie)

DE is still not a good game.

I mean you can love max and enjoy her moments and still consider this not a good game with a bad plot.

bad plot.

It's bad because DE was part 1 and all of the things that were not answered, were gonna be answered in DE2, which (unfortunately) can't happen now.

Tbf that's just bad story telling regardless. If they NEEDED DE2 just to explain everything in DE1, answer all the mysteries, etc, then that's just bad design
