Sister services, email, and search will continue to be negatively effected by the attacks. I made a thread to talk about it, if you're into networking.
I played the first episode of Life Is Strange and all of Before The Storm. They're just really painfully bad. Life Is Strange 2 is funny bad and so far better than the first two.

Well i'm not surprised since it's the same developper that made Remember Me and Vampyr and had a high ranked employee in 2016 say that crap like Life is Strange is part of "the dna" of the company and they now made exclusively shit like that and they look like fat old soyboys

That's Dontnod in a nutshell. One of the writers got pissed at BroTeam after he made fun of the writing of the first two episodes of Life is Strange. Rumors say that they doubled-down on the clichés for the rest of the first season just to "own" Brote.
and either way the kid thinks he has powers when he doesn’t, so even if he doesn’t get hit by the cop car, he’s just going to have something similar happen later since he still thinks he has powers
I like it enough. Gives TellTale a run for their money in the feels department. Also a good source for Rule34 content.

Apparently the second game tanking didn't effect the life of the series, new installment being announced.

The first one and spin-off (albeit made by a different company) were pretty legit, albeit messy. I hope the new one gets back on track, there were rumblings Square took the rights away from the original developers Dontnod and gave them to the company that did the prequel, which I wouldn't mind. The writing was a tad worse but structurally it was better than 2 was several times over.
What I'm wondering about is that Just Cause mobile game, given how JC4 wasn't well received on launch due to lack of polish, although that game didn't get much attention due to bigger bombs such as Fallout 76 and ATLAS.
I heard about the dog stuff in the second one and just why....this shit is depressing.
Because you needed a ham-fisted plot device to bring on the sads. )':
Stupid stupid stupid they got the troon stuff already lol
I don't know which of them did Tell Me Why but that was fairly decent despite the tranny bullshit.
Tell Me Why was DONTNOD, and it was mostly better in that the preaching was less over-the-top than LiS2, which was an oppression wankfest. The overall structure and gameplay segments were weaker than other games and a whole lot less intersting. LiS2 episode 2 was awful but by the end of the game a lot more substantive events had happened.

Something i noticed from dontnod is that they write an ending to be equal to every other end you can pick.
Heavy Rain, Detroit and Elliot Page's beyond two genders avoid the "All endings are equal"
It's why you can't warn anyone to leave (except that homeless woman) in LiS 1 or have Daniel with you in Mexico without doing crime.

I may be in the minority here but I actually thought the second game was marginally better. The main characters were a lot more likable at least. Daniel gets to be an annoying little shit towards the end, but he’s a little kid so it’s more understandable than Chloe from the first one.

2 had a lot of good shit, particularly hammering home the "choices matter" effecting the endings substantially. It was just one hell of a slog to get through, and none of the endings were good enough to justify how incredibly boring the majority of the experience was.
I bought it and eventually beat it, and while I was impressed with how they upped the endings compared to the first game, it was undeniable that the overall experience was much more of a drag than even the worse parts of the first two games.

What happens when you take a fat alcoholic with a dying show and watch him play video games where he sucks, doesn't say anything funny nor insightful, and can't be bothered to learn how to properly play?
