Just read it and tell me what you think.
It’s a good game yes, but i personally feel that it had so much more potential, and so much more of an opportunity to truly impact the players themselves.

Like don’t get me wrong, like I said before it’s a good game and puts certain things into perspective and really gets you thinking about things(I don't really wanna say anything specific yet) but I say due to how short the game is you don’t get to really get fully attached to the characters in any real meaningful ways but even then there were time where I was like damn that’s straight up depressing I really wanna know if I can change the outcome in anyway possible and times where I was genuinely angry with the decisions of the characters and also the fact that you switch from the past to the present and realize that the one person you feel that you have a genuine reason to hate wasn’t nearly as bad as another character and so you start to really wonder “ who was the bad guy this whole time then? “

also I saw/heard some people state that Jimmy and Curly were one in the same, I would personally like to say to the people that think that, you're wrong completely in my opinion without trying to spoil for others yes both of them had gone about things in the wrong way but Curly wanted to tell his people the truth and yet when he did Jimmy tried to turn it on him by saying no matter how far down you go you'll still be higher than us hence when said '' the lowest bar on your ladder is the highest for us '' also implying that there was nowhere else for the crew to go, Curly wasn't fully intent just leaving his crew behind but he also wasn't sure on what he should do he wasn't fighting a battle with just himself but with also trying to save his till the bitter end.

Anyways that's all I gather from my first play through, I will be playing it again very soon to hopefully get a better understanding.

I'm not sure i understand the issue so bear with me but... is the reason you're upset that the game played with your expectations? Because i feel like that's a thing most people like about it.

As for the characters, I wouldn't say no to more character development but i also feel like what we got painted a pretty good picture of each of them?

I get where you're coming from and understand how one would think I'm upset but I'm not particularly upset, because overall I did enjoy the game and it's not that the game played with my expectations if anything it went how I thought it would it's just after actually playing it, now I wish there was more for the player base to experience and you're right about the characters and how we got a pretty well view of the characters but like I said before I just wish we (it might just be me) were able to get a better connection to the character and be able to feel more emotionally attached to them, maybe it really is just me but I didn't feel a crazy attachment to the crew themselves.

Hopefully that helps you understand where I'm coming from a little better maybe?
I guess. Tho i feel like given the intended length of the game (about a feature length film) and overall intended experience there's not a whole lot more room for that. Personally i felt a pretty strong connection to the crew despite how little time we spend with them.

I don't wanna sound like a broken record player here but at this point it really is more of a personal thing at this point because I just wanted to see more due to how little they gave us yet it gave such an impact that I wanted more of the game as a whole because of how much I enjoyed it yet loathed how little we got.

I wanted to connect more to the characters, because there are indeed games where I felt so connected to certain characters that I couldn't even play the game for a little bit.

Also using the aspect of a movie if also pretty good but not at the same time because those are two different medians because you're experiencing them different while one you're watching one's life unfold right before your eyes(the movie) and in a game you are the character themselves you are mentally becoming one with the character and there are times you even pause and think if you can change anything within the game even though you already know you can't because there are already set boundaries and roads and a lot of the times they're not the options you want but you're forced to choose one of those options.

anyways yea that's what I got and I didn't necessarily get/have those feelings.^^^

but still I did really enjoy the game nonetheless even thought it may seem like I didn't.
