Queries Post #1

[press_start_mod]

Nominations continue until the end of the month!

I have some queries:

• Life is Strange - I have nominations for "Life is Strange (Video Games)", "Life is Strange (Video Game)" and "Life is Strange: True Colors (Video Game)". There are also some nominations for Life is Strange 2 inside Life is Strange (Video Games). How do you all want this to be handled?
• Hitman - There are nominations for Hitman: Absolution, Hitman: Blood Money, Hitman: Contracts, Hitman: Silent Assassin, Hitman: World of Assination Trilogy, and Hitman (Video Games), and there are very similar nominations inside each of them. Are these all in continuity with one another?
• Bravely Default (Video Game) & Related Fandoms - Do you want this merged together or Bravely Default + Bravely Second separated out from Bravely Default II?
• Final Fantasy VII - At the moment the two timelines are called Final Fantasy VII Remake (Video Game 2020) and Final Fantasy VII (Video Game 1997) despite the fact that the second is inaccurate because it also includes Before Crisis, Crisis Core (excluding possibly Crisis Core Reunion...?) etc. Do these labels work for you or do you want a different one? Also, if you are the nominator who has nominated both original timeline and remake timeline in the one fandom nomination, please fix that up!
• Doctor Who: Destiny of the Doctors (Video Game 1997) - I'm not sure this is eligible. Can you explain how the Doctor, the Master, and Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart are different to their main counterparts?
• Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy (2021 Video Game) - is this based on the MCU or is it its own original work?

Not the nominator for these, but wanted to offer insight:

I haven't played all of them yet, but the Life is Strange games are standalone experiences with interconnecting themes and mechanics (the original Life is Strange and Life is Strange: Before the Storm are connected, tho). I imagine people would prefer them to be separated in case they've only played one game from the series over the others.

As someone who will most likely offer to write for FFVII, I'm cool with them being split like this.

Oof, I haven't played all the Hitman games, but I know the recent trilogy is supposed to be a reboot while also like, filling in the blanks from previous games sort of? It can work either as its own nomination or grouped with the rest of the series imo.

All the Marvel video games, including Guardians of the Galaxy, are not based on the MCU and can be played without MCU knowledge.
