    Okay, sure. But Amanda was too good for Max. Max was absolutely terrible to Amanda, and Amanda made the correct choice in the end.

    I dunno, I’d like to see more Bisexual people in video games who aren’t terrible to others. That or games that aren’t only about the forming of relationships but either the growth of it or being firmly in one too, the only game I’ve seen like this is Haven, where you can play as either straight, gay or lesbian but the relationship is pre-existing and it’s imho wonderful.

      I could not agree more in regards to “Haven”. It is such a fantastic game in how it depicts the central relationship and I am always disappointed how rare it is to see two loving partners carry a story together.

        Yes, absolutely! It’s the crutch of bad writers imo to always have relationships be the main point of contention where there’s no happy ending.

        Haven did it perfectly in that they did fall out but resolved it. Only good writers can do that imho.

      That’s the cycle right? Chloe was too good for Rachel. Max was too good for Chloe. Amanda was too good for Max. I’m dying to see who is going to get her heart ripped out by Amanda in the next installment.

      I’m bae all the way, but let’s face it, happy endings are for losers. We’re here for the drama.

        You may be, and that’s okay. I’m not though, so I’ll keep hoping for another True Colors.
