I finished catching up on the GBeast Life is Strange playthrough today so I can now continue on this. It's very jarring to go from that game, which I think is very well written/acted, to this game, which is either poorly written, poorly translated, poorly acted or a combination of all three (I can't decide so far).
I now get why everybody freaked out about Reggie back then. He's a really good hype man. If you told me he had previously worked for WWE, I'd believe you.
Also, I never felt the consoles having original series was the worst idea (because they'd have the install base to compete on the level with a Netflix, Amazon, etc) but I watched the pilot of Powers and was not interested in continuing.
