Thoughts on Wavelengths DLC?

[ghost]

I might just be in a bad mood but I couldn't finish it, didn't really find it interesting.
How about you guys? What did you think? I'm genuinely asking :)

It was different, but I enjoyed it. The biggest difference being that you're confined to one location for the duration for the DLC. And while you communicate with others, aside from Mikey over the internet, you never actually see another character in the store.

That being said, I felt like the DLC did a couple things better than the main game actually. I felt like in a couple places, choices I made actually had an impact. Unlike the main game, which always ends the same way, at least with the DLC I have the chance to create a song over the course of the playthrough that's unique to me. Also, my choice about whether I saved Chloe or Arcadia Bay (I chose bae over bay) turned out to be super impactful.

It did feel like I hit a couple bugs, but nothing game breaking. And the very last section with the scavenger hunt felt a bit broken, or leading me to places just didn't agree with based on my directions. Overall though, I did enjoy it.

Really loved the main game, but I found the DLC extremely boring.

Enjoyed the DLC even more than the main game...

It's a more laid back DLC that's meant to delve into the psyche of Steph and build her character. I don't know what people were expecting from this honestly, but it's a very solid addition to the game.

I enjoyed it but they could've done more with it than what we actually got, I didn't mind being confined to just the record store/DJ booth but it would've been nice for characters to actually pop in and visit rather than only talking to them via the phone or laptop... I get that Steph was supposed to feel a bit isolated but it just felt like a missed opportunity.

I'm also disappointed that the "memories" were mostly just audio flashbacks (with exception of the foosball games with Gabe but you don't physically see him so it doesn't even really count), they could've easily given us cutscenes or short playable flashbacks featuring young Chloe, Rachel and Mikey during their Blackwall days since they have all the remastered Arcadia Bay environments and character models from LiS1 and BtS available to use.

That aside, the soundtrack was awesome, better than the main game imo and it was nice to get to know Steph more and learn why she left Arcadia Bay and how the events of LiS1 affected her.

Played it on PS4. One word: Underwhelming.

I liked the DLC. It's longer than any episode in the main game. Plus the opportunity to find out what happened to Jefferson after his arrest and his subsequent history. The addition to the game gives. More choices and more influence on what we choose or say. Overall a complement to the story of LiS 1 from Steph's perspective.

I didn't have any expectations so I wasn't disappointed at all. It was fun to manage the radio show and get a glimpse about Steph's past. I also enjoyed doing all the tasks while listening to the soundtrack that was playing. I thought the DLC would be very short but it actually took 4 hours for me to complete all of the 4 seasons in the radio station lol.

[asabizarre]

I thought it was nice, not great, but nice to see more of Steph's story. I used to do radio stuff so I was kinda into that part anyway.

For those of you that chose to save Chloe, what was that like? From my perspective Steph probably has PTSD considering her near-dissociation that one day.

Also! Did the choices in the dating app actually matter? In my game Steph went out with Violet for a little, and not really anyone else. Is that the same every time or do those choices actually affect things? (Like the picture in the audio booth)

I only just finished the Pride Month section and am taking a break because the ending of it emotionally exhausted me. As "a queer," this dlc hits me really hard. It uses lots of queer culture shorthand, recognizable artists and memes, and shows Steph going through a lot of psychological hurdles that many queer people have to deal with.

I love that they brought back many more mentions and voice lines of Izzie who I was really interested in after the tidbits from the collectible memories in the base game. Her and Steph's relationship is kinda tragic and hurts my gay, trans little heart hearing about it.

The tone in Steph's voice as she was preparing to take down the pride decorations, and looking out at Haven thinking, "... what am I doing here?" were so effing relatable and just... I had to take a break lol. I'll finish either tomorrow or later tonight (since I can't go on twitter or tumblr till I'm done).

So basically I love it and it owns my heart. But I'm also an LiS fangirl and I rate all of them the same: perfect. I haven't played LiS2 yet (though I really want to), so LiS1, BtS, TC, and now WL are all equal in my mind. I just love LiS. WL is easily the gayest, with Steph experiencing the same queer girl dating app woes that I am, but I really love all of them. I came in expecting to love, and I did. I'll make a review on the store page once I'm done.

Guys, I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ lost my save and the game won't let me start the dlc without having a full main story completed save. Do main story choices affect the wavelengths history? Are the stories connected? Yes or no, I need to know (no spoiler, please please please) ><

Kinda zzzzz NGL
