Wowser: Did Life is Strange Have a Bad Ending? (Heavy Spoiler Alert) It’s been a few months since the conclusion of Life is Strange, and yet, a lot of us still can’t determine if the game had a ‘bad’ ending. It’s hard to say when death lingers around each one. Dontnod Entertainment has certainly outdone themselves in crafting a beautifully tragic story. If you were anything like myself, playing the first chapter was neat, but nothing life changing. Episode 2 and on may have made you think differently. But what about the endings? After making a slew of difficult decisions throughout the game, the player is forced to make one final choice. Neither are pleasant and neither make you feel super great. They’re both just bad… yet good. So which one is the ‘sucky’ ending? Does it even have one? Is it: Sacrifice Arcadia Bay? Okay, so the people in this town aren’t exactly saints, but letting them suffer through a violent tornado isn’t really A-Okay either. After theoretically killing off almost everyone in the game, it really should be safe to say that this ending was the ‘bad’ one, right? Wrong. Remember that when we play video games, we’re often playing through someone’s personal story. We begin to understand what …show more content…
I was no exception. Due to a limited budget, the game developers had little choice but to trim one of their endings. Since Life is Strange focuses so heavily around the Butterfly Effect and its dangers, it’s understandable to see why they decided to give greater attention to the one that resolves it. Still, I don’t feel that ultimately decides which ending was the bad one. From a character standpoint, sacrificing Arcadia Bay was awful and almost inexcusable, but in the end, Max went with her family/lover. So after considering the silent vow of comfort/love from Chloe and the fleeting sight of deer, I find this ending more fitting in terms of what made Max truly
The conflict of this story is Bright boy Aka the sidekick to phantom justice is trying to stop phantom justice from destroying all of the sidekicks in the world. in my opinion I thought the ending of this story was entertaining because things looked like they were going to turn for the
In these two stories both of the main character have there happy ending at the end of the story.

Ashputtle finally had the wedding she has alway
Once I get past all of the rambling I did in the past paragraphs, I honestly really enjoyed the book. Though it wasn't like most of the other books I’ve read (meaning I didn't cry during the process of reading it), the characters were just as provokingly interesting as the characters in other stories, it was a little edgy and made me want to yell at it, shouting at Sam when she wouldn’t let Tyler play video games with Danny, or Danny when he called to have Sam and Tyler taken to a separate facility. Overall, this book opened me up to something that just isn't a romance novel. This story really shows that there are people with a lot of difficulties in their lives, and that’s what I liked the most about it.
I personally believe the film ends on a negative note. The credits eerily force the viewer to relate the
S. E. Hinton’s argument is given from the perspective of a 14 year old Greaser named Pony boy Curtis who is being raised by his older brothers Darrel and Soda pop. The theme of the Outsiders is no matter what side you may grow up on whether you are a Greaser or a Socs, that you all can still have the same problems, see the same solutions, and dream the same dreams. You are also able to see how his character grows up and matures during the various interactions throughout this book. The two gangs in the book are the Greasers and the Socs (socials) and honestly, even after reading the book the only reason they didn’t like each other is they both had assumptions about each other that really weren’t correct.
the end result is the demise of all the main characters. ?It is clear that the theme of
Is it better to be an individual or conform to expectations just to fit in like others? This choice is faced by Ponyboy Curtis, the narrator, throughout S.E. Hinton’s The Outsiders. He belongs to the Greasers, a group of delinquent friends, who are viewed by many as poor and dangerous, while the rival Socs are viewed as rich, smart, and powerful causing the Greasers to envy them. Ponyboy learns from Randy Adderson, a Soc who is trapped by stereotype threat, that their lives are not as perfect as he expected it to be and they too face problems. In addition, Ponyboy tries to act tough and fit in with the rest of gang, but his Greaser companions, such as Two-Bit Matthews, teach him to embrace his own characteristics which sets him apart from
easy to predict the ending because, in the story, there were only bad guys and good guys.
Philosophy questions many ideas or statements. For example, the Examined Life asks, does life have meaning? This idea was analyzed, experienced, questioned, discussed and concluded in many different ways. There was a common thread between the Philosophy film, the Apology, our class discussions and the video, Examined life. We often ask ourselves, are we obligated to other people?
Over the course of the next couple of scenes the clouds become less grey and morose and more sun appears to come through. This culminates with his final act of inviting everyone to either be in or attend his play. While we cannot know if the sun ever reappears because the play is during the evening indoors. Max makes amends towards all the characters in the film and everyone seems to be relatively fulfilled at the ending. We never really do know though if the sun would come out again though for the film does not show it. So maybe all the characters are left a little empty, or perhaps one can believe that the characters truly found themselves. The ending is left open and ambiguous by Wes Anderson on purpose. The reason being he wants the viewer to think about if the characters are fulfilled, and no longer have a void that cannot be
The ending of the book is highly controversial and extremely maddening to most people. Lois ...
...dits die, and the village is saved however four of the samurai are killed in the process. In the end the farmers are happy and celebrating their triumph over the bandits and that is seen as the sweet part, the bitter part of the ending is the fact that four of the samurai have been killed throughout the movie. The three remaining samurai don’t feel like they have won, as Kambei said “we were the defeated, the farmers were the ones who have won”, however all the farmers are celebrating because they got rid of the bandits. The farmers don’t care about the samurai, they just used them. This feature of the Japanese samurai genre engages the audience as the films don’t just end with happily ever after, there is some tragedy and important people are injured or killed, this makes the viewer feel sympathy towards characters and enhances the film for the viewing audience.
As we evolve into a more advanced species, so does our technology, and along with our overly advanced technology, comes video games. They’ve have certainly come a long way since they were first introduced to the main stream audience and have been slowly creeping its way into many daily lives, making them a lot more entertaining and less dull. Video games’ one and only purpose is to entertain. However, it is indeed true that everything is fun and games until somebody gets hurt, and that is exactly what has happened over the years in video games. With the help of our technology, being more developed than ever, video games have also become increasingly sophisticated and overall more close to reality than
Overall this game fails in comparison to the games that came before it. The only good property of the game is the visuals in the fictional world and even though they are amazing, it isn’t enough to save the game. The complete slaughter of the story, characters, and combat system creates a game that is practically impossible to play. If you are new to the Final Fantasy franchise and have not played any of the other games then this game may be fine. If you are someone who has played the previous games then you will be greatly dissatisfied with this game. In the end developers should spend more time on gameplay then visuals because I would rather play a good game with bad artwork than a bad game with amazing visuals.
The ending of the story is very effective as a cliff hanger. No one knows
