By bullet drop I mean you need to tilt the crosshair up to compensate and hit where you want to hit originally, not ammo loot drop rate.

In the chinatown level you can crouch in the grass and shoot the sniper, if you use the hunting pistol there will be bullet drop, but if you use rifle there is none, that’s how I know.

For Ellie bullet drop doesn’t just apply to that one level where you can snipe Seraphite from afar in a train, there will be bullet drop if you shoot the guy on Capitol Hill 2f office, the girl on hillcrest 2f balcony/bedroom, the guy on a scaffold near a cafe in Day 3, on and on. Im pretty sure none of these is further than 100 yards, the bolt action rifle is literally water gun in this game.

So many people say chapter 123 is good but chapter 4 and 5 gone bad, I’d say only chapter 4 is good and the rest of the chapters are barely doing any storytelling.

The first 3 chapters are so hyper focused on murder mystery that there’s nothing else going on in the story. Max doesn’t really connect with any character. In LiS1 every episode has its own story happening and each giving a bit clue to Rachel’s missing, DE completely misses the point by being the way it is.

Another major problem is that Safi is given too little screen time, the supposedly best companion after Chloe doesn’t even get half the screen time as Chloe. In LiS1 half of E1 and E2 is Max & Chloe, the entire E3 and E4 is Max & Chloe, Chloe matters more and more to Max throughout the game and E5 is Max altering reality and put herself in danger over and over to save Chloe, there is valid motivation, but in DE chapter 123 the player is asked to prevent Safi from dying even before we get to know about her. To keep this story not so bad, I have the headcanon of Bay Max regretting her choice and projecting Chloe onto Safi and that’s why she’s putting so much effort into it.

Reasons of why I think DE chapter 4 is good. First of all we finally have the chance to truly get to know about Safi, some even say that the reveal assassinated Safi’s character but honestly without this reveal Safi would be a total bland and boring character. The fact that she’s backstabbing everyone for a somewhat justified reason, making Max to doubt her and sympathizes with her at the same time, this struggle makes the bottle cap talk the best and most emotional scene in the entire game.

And the reveal of Maya’s suicide is the only time I feel like the story is progressing. It actually feels like the story starts from here. Ok now that I wrote here I got reminded that I actually don’t like how the exposing Lucas scene turned out, feels anti climactic and jarring, idk maybe it’s because the timing of having you pick dialogue isn’t good, breaks the flow and makes the supposedly intense conversation looks very awkward. Nevertheless chapter 4 is still the best because the two previous things.

Then chapter 5 of DE completely shot itself in the foot, I’m not gonna elaborate because everybody knows.

TC being the coziest game in the franchise, DE feels like it tried to portray a sense of danger but there is no actual threat to Max or anyone else, until now RE finally brings some tensions back because a lot of characters can die.
