1. She has been burned many times by people outside of the lab from her parents to the party in addition to the fact that the guy is a total jerk the first time she meets him. Add to that the conflict about what happened Somalia and you have a detestable character. He doesn't give any reason to set up a relationship and the game obviously wants you to like him by the fact that they repeatedly push this relationship on you. For the main love interest in a story like this, he is written terribly. Also, like I was saying, even if you refuse every prompt to kiss the guy near the end of the game, you are still forced to in a cutscene when you are in the condenser (or whatever it was called). 2. It is a minor subplot at best and it lasts way too long. Like I said, some minor things that could have been worked into the story much better, but instead are thrown into this silly sidestory. Also, it came across as being far too stereotypical...Overall, the entire time I was watching it, I was just thinking "Why?" because it honestly shouldn't have been there. 3. Like I said at the end, killing off family is a typical card to play when you want a reaction because it does work so well if you don't actually look at it. The motive works because it is a typical trope, but its execution was very bad for such a huge moment. 4. Like I said at the begining, this may have been something that didn't happen for everybody. It may have been the result of a failed QTE or something (a victim of Cage's no game over strategy perhaps) but after saving everyone, Jodie gets trapped in the fire and the camera cuts to outside where all the homeless people are waiting and the guy (main homeless character guy) goes in and a bit later comes out with Jodie over his shoulder. It makes absolutely no sense when you think about it... |
4 is definetly failled QTE and ye that makes zero sense but I supose getting a game over screen wouldnt work either.
2 its not pivotal at all couldve been cut and the loss wouldve been minimal but I think it works, Joddie is trying to get away from all that infraworld crap but somehow that crap always finds its way back in her life.
3 I agree, its a motive they dont flesh it out well enought, I accepted it when I was playing but it couldve been handled better
1 Ryan is the first non fatherly figure in her life who actualy cares about her. He is flawed and the game does show that and how Joddie keeps trying to understand what she feels for the guy. Again I may be wrong but I still think theres at least 1 course of action that leads into you completly dumpping Ryan.
