Looking Mirror editionPrevious thread: >>554902886>Life is Strange(LiS) - An episodic narrative adventure game by developer Don’t Nod (DN). Set in the fictional coastal town of Arcadia Bay, Oregon, it follows Max Caulfield, a shy, awkward photography student who discovers she can rewind time and—perhaps more urgently—that she’s very, very gay. At the heart of the story is Max’s reunion with her estranged best friend, the rebellious, blue-haired Chloe Price. Their bond becomes the game’s pulsing queer core as they unravel the mystery of Rachel Amber’s disappearance. What begins as a teenage reconnection blooms into a messy, tender queer odyssey about grief, desire, and the impossible choices we make for the people we can't truly live without.>Official Websites:https://lifeisstrange.com/https://dont-nod.com/en/>Life is Strange Series Steam:https://store.steampowered.com/curator/36149206>Lost Records Series Steam:https://store.steampowered.com/app/1902960>/lisg/ Permalink:http://orph.link/lisg>FAQs, Old Threads/Strawpolls, Soundtrack/Music & Leaks:http://orph.link/lisgarchive>/lisg/ Community Written Fan Fiction:http://orph.link/story>Compilation of Fanfics:http://orph.link/fanfic>/lisg/ Content Producers:http://imgur.com/a/DOAKn>Art of LiS:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=265yHETXRXo>/lis/ sings:Obstacleshttps://web.archive.org/web/20200324102651/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjPsOkijFh0 Glass Wallshttps://www.mediafire.com/file/1y584yhvq5p2y35/Glass+walls+lisg+edition.mp3No Belowhttps://www.mediafire.com/file/cpi79dyuahemkd4/Lisg+sings+no+below+all+v.mp3 Discussion of other LiS games in the series like Life is Strange 2, TC, Don't Nod's other media like Lost Records, the upcoming TV show and other similar games is welcome!

Max dies.
>>555322752In Chloe's arms.Tonight.
>>555322752Amanda stop sitting on Max's face
just finished playing firewatch for the first time. its pretty good.
>>555325639Why would she want her to stop?
>>555326884It is. I have it on my wallpaper.Delilah has the same voice actress as Joyce from LiS.
>>555330021That ass belongs to Chloe now
>>555330021Max is so lucky
>>555336781You mean Chloe
>>555336352
>>555336352>Chloe: yeah I'm Max's roommate
>>555336352>"I've heard you're quite the fountain..."
>>555336352>>555338448>"Is it true what they say? That things tend to get... exceptionally 'tidal' with you?"
>>555338373Damn I would like to grab a Chloe titty right now
>>555339736They gotta fix this Cloud Strife-ass hair
kek
>>555336352Lowkey hoping they don't mess this up, but it's D9, so expectations are sub-zero. The branching for dialogues could be a total gem: romance one/friends with the other, romance the other/friends with the first, romance both or just friendzone everyone
>>555340261I just believe it's going to be nothing more than dialogue changes, all the previews have more scenes of Chloe talking to Amanda than Max alone. But there's a big ass Pricefield boat romance, so you know were the real effort is put on the relationship
>>555338448>>555338740Since it's Zimmerman who wrote her, it would be more like:>Max mentioned you have a very... "fluid" personality. Like, literally.
>>555340529Was Zimmerman involved since 2022 or he just came in when Stauder and co got fired?
>>555319769>the way Max looks at Chloe
>>555340261romanced both plus vinh. friends with both, but romanced vinh
>>555342379Different teams. Stauder was team A, Zimmerman team B.
>>555342982>romanced both plus vinhgargabe choice, can't believe they thought they were cooking with that one
>>555343758It’s not about whether the choice is good or not. It’s about having the branching paths so everyone can experiment and see what happens
>>555344048This is a Deck Nine game, you know it won't matter at all
>>555344650SOVL
>>555344695SLOP
>>555344951you seethe
>>555342379Also, once again remember the Double Exposure devs never had a fucking clue there was a team working on a Chloe-centric game in parallel nearly the entire time.
>>555345379Oh wow this definitely true and not total horseshit at all
>>555345634STFU, alright?! We need someone to blame, especially since we're running out of things to seethe about lately
>>555345634It is true. Rhianna Devries had been working on this shit since 2022, and she's only in Double Exposure for 10 seconds. They didn't know what the fuck was going on with the other team because they were silo'd with their own psychos and retards in charge of the doomed project.
>>555345634I mean, LDH was fired in 2023, and Baqir the lead designer who was at the same time said they had no idea Chloe was going to come back in any proper shape
>>555346253Doesn't feel like they're being entirely honest. Their 'didn't know' act doesn't really add up with the timeline and some other things
>>555346841Aysha's the only one who's willing to spill the beans on DE and Reunion being worked at the same time, and under the idea the first one would have been super popular rather than the massive flop it was
>>555347027you mean the management thought that? because from what I remember, in one of her very first social media rants, she literally said it sold exactly as she expected
>>555344650Can't even draw the same controller, is this AI?
>>555348465you seethe
>>555348416>she literally said it sold exactly as she expectedSquare Enix CEO is on the record saying DE sold "very poorly" and acted as a drag on all their sales, as it was only countered by Dragon Quest remake selling well
>>555348590Just look at Max's controller, man. This shit looks atrocious.
>>555348652can you even read? I said that right after she got fired, she posted that the game sold exactly as she expected, implying that management was delusional about the projected sales
>>555343123Zimmerman is more of a writer. He's co-directing Reunion probably because they had no one else to fill the slot
>>555349125I'm aware. There was never a time they were working on the same project. The decision to split the games happened before that.
>>555338448>>555338740>>555340529
>>555350804
I'll be moving to the PNW soon for work and graduate school, and that's what I told my parents but I didn't want to tell them I'm moving there because I fell in love with the area through LiS 1 and BtS and it's been my dream ever since ; ;
>>555353818It is a nice enough area.
>>555354059It is a shithole
>>555348983Aysha's a retard, I don't expect her to understand if a game sells well or not, but it doesn't matter now
Are you going to be a good boy and spill your wallet for the Pricefield collector edition?
>>555326884It will never be as good again.I've tried replaying it twice, but once you know the story, there's no mystery, no anxiousness about what's really going on.
>>555354327retard or not, if that's what she said, she was right. i've been saying the same thing here. there was zero initial interest in this game. and so far it looks like the new one is facing the same issue. the engagement is just very low right now
>>555354813bought it the day it was announced
>>555354813I hope they'll make the vinyl available separately if the OST is good.
>>555354227Naturally, it's gorgeous.
>>555350804Sorry Amanda, but since Aysha is apparently on the writing team for Reunion, your reputation is likely gonna stay soaked for the foreseeable future
>>555355740>apparently on the writing team for Reunionhow would you bet she just wrote Safi's scenes and half of them have been rewritten by Zimmerman to make it less stupid horny?
>>555354813I don't need any of that shit
>>555354935This is low to you for a game that releases in two months?
>I don't need to do any scissoring right nowWhat did Max mean by this
>>555338448Amanda is not merely a fountain, shes the entire aquarium
>>555353818I practically have the same idea . Except I want to do an online graduate degree while working there. Money constraint and being alone is kinda stiffling the idea though.Where in the PNW are you going to? I want to go to Portland.
>>555355956Whether he rewrote it or not, one thing is clear - she got promoted right before DE dropped and layed off immediately after. So, I bet her role on RE was basically the same as it was for DE
>>555357252Minx!
The forthcoming LIFE IS STRANGE: WELCOME TO CALEDON UNIVERSITY book from Titan Books covers BOTH Life is Strange: Double Exposure AND Life is Strange: Reunion - with annotations throughout from Max, Chloe, Moses, Safi, and more...Pre-order this stunning hardcover now, and delve deep into the secrets of Caledon on April 14!
>>555360731hell yeah
>>555360731The book that shitfielders just a few days ago were calling soulless and made only because SE thought the game would be a hit. Now watch those same people buying it now, lol
>>555360731Didn't they release one of these when DE came out? I could have sworn they did.Anyway, the original Blackwell one is ok, but has a large number of problems. The idea that Chloe and Max would be annotating 2 books (well, closer to one, since they really gave up on the Arcadia Bay part) during their week together was already pretty silly and I think would only work if the book were set in an AU where Max never left the bay.Reunion seems to be set across 3 days or so. Why would they be annotating a book about the university in that limited amount of time together?A smarter way to do this concept imo would be to have done a photo-album/travel-diary Chloe and Max put together in the years they spent traveling together following LiS 2.You could tell a real narrative that way, explore something we have only seen hints of before and it would make sense why Chloe/Max have written all over it.But since the guy who made the first one never played the game and only read the wiki, I guess something interesting would be too much to ask for.I will still get it. But I wont like it.
>>555357905got three options, either Portland, Corvallis, or Seattle.leaning towards Seattle because I have visited a few times and really liked it, and it has more job opportunities.though if it ends up being a bit tough ATM, I'm looking to move to Corvallis, maybe closer to Portland.I'd do online as well but I'm a dumbass and can only focus when there's a professor in front of me.my older sister will be helping me with the move, and will decide if she wants to get an apartment with me or go elsewhere on the west coast. we both really like hiking/camping, so the PNW is the perfect location for us.
>>555361773>I will still get itSquare Enix thanks for you for your continued support
>>555360731I pre-ordered it, I wish they could give us a proper Artbook for LiS 1 and BtS and DE and Reunion but this will suffice
>>555330021
>>555360731neat
>>555360731I see they pulled the ol' switcheroo.
>>555361436it was absolutely predictable, anon
>>555360731>quick, if we strap on Chloe and pricefield the book chances to sell will increase by 50%Still not buying but prop at least for the change
>>555361436Still souless, not going to buy it
>>555369085I'm proud of you, son. You're not like other shitfielders
>>555370910It doesn't take much desu
>>555361436it is soulless. It's literally just an idea copied of the Blackwell Academy book
>>555371972Actually the DE book was a shameless copy of the Blackwell book.This seems to be a lazy pricefield rehash of the DE book - since nobody brought the DE book, so it would be functionally new to most people anyway.
>>555372332DE had a book?
>>555373080The new one is just an updated version of >>555364375 with some Chloe stuff added in so that people actually buy it this time.Kinda sums up Reunion in general really, since it looks to be 95% reused DE assets.
>>555373531Did the Caledon book relased already? I remember its date always slated for April
>>555372332The DE book actually never released, and instead they've repurposed/updated it into its newer version they showed today
>>555373761>>555373920>DE was so poorly received that they never released the book and just updated it with pricefield stuff for the next gameThat is honestly even more funny than had they just taken an already released book and released a pricefield version.When you detach yourself from the series enough, it actually becomes pretty damn funny just how bad DE failed.
>>555374216the book was always slated to release in April of 2026, back when it was announced during DE's release, but they probably were able to update it now with the changes they made to Reunion
>>555374605>the book was always slated to release in April of 2026Then it was always planned to have this stuff in it dumbass.
>>555374965not necessarily.it was always intended to be a DE companion book, and was meant to release in April of this year when printing was complete.I assume though midway through either last year or the beginning of last year whenever they made the changes to Reunion, they also updated this book considering it hadn't released and would fit better with the updated story
>>555374605I'm pretty sure it was slated for release in april of 2025. It just kept getting pushed back.I guess due to how DE sold.
Reunion started production in September of 2023. The only reason they would delay the companion book is if there was another game planned in the same setting.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kuk5E83aW0UAnyone else who were precisely the same age as Max during LiS1 (2015) ?[ /spoiler]
>>555374605That is correct
>>555375974I'm 3 weeks older than Chloe. It is pretty cool desu.
>>55537597415 during 2015, so Max is a mature older woman to me >:)
>>555375974>>555376937I'm 2 months older than Chloe
>>555375292I thought it was announced at the same time as the upcoming Izzie book last year. I remember thinking it was weird that they were releasing a DE book a year and a half after the game flopped, but I guess it was planned to coincide with the Reunion launch.
>>555375974I'm 40 so, not quite.
>>555377736Balding?
>>555376937Source? Lovely art style.
>>555378020Actually, no. I seem to have been spared for now.
>>555378187GlacierClear
>>555356697That is pretty good, if it continues rising. But I was expecting way worse.
>>555357252She was fucking amanda
>>555382010I wish I could, too...
Max and Chloe never had sex with each other.
>>555375974Finishing EP4 at launch in 2015, I had my longest ever nofap streak of 14 days which is still my record today. I was in a weird mood, to say the least.
I played the original game when it came out and I loved it, I recall having the biggest crush on Chloe and her punk rock vibe.I replayed it when they announced Reunion and holy fuck Chloe is insufferable. I mean she's hot but she needs therapy or meds or something. Max on the other hand? Oh Max...You were always wife material.Anyway, I will let a town go to shit again if that means I get to bang a hopefully less mentally unstable Chloe.
>>555386921There is a long period of time in episode 4 where Max and Chloe are together, but 'off screen'.Who knows what they got up to desu.
>>555388331Nicefield filled in the gaps.
>>555388290>I replayed it when they announced Reunion and holy fuck Chloe is insufferableTrouble reading characters
>>555388290>needs therapy or meds or somethingAll women actually
>>555389525As a woman who gets both, I agree
>>555388331>Max returns and is completely unaware of the fact that she lost her virginity yesterday
>>555392325That's our Chloe!
>>555386921Neither of them has a dick so that indeed would be quite impossible.
You think they'll bring back Obstacles or at least a motif of it in Reunion?
>>555406921People said to have heard a rendition of Jonathan Morali's Max and Chloe theme during the timer lead up to the presentation, so who knows
>>555408961I didn't hear shit
>>555406921>>555408961
I just finished episode 3 of LiS2 and I don't understand why people think this is the worst game in the series. It's way fucking better than TC and BTS.
>>555388290I agree, Chloe is actually pretty annoying after replaying. I think most people that enjoy her character either think she’s so hot they’re blind from her shit personality or they’re an angsty teen who finds her relatable.
>>555424812LiS2 is easily the second best game and way overhated, it’s pretty close to LiS in quality but people dismiss it because it didn’t have an attractive woman as a protagonist.LiS > LiS2 >>> BtS >>> TC => DETC and DE is hard because TC had consistent quality from the start, it was always a bit boring but never faltered (I thought the first episode was decent then the rest was slow), DE actually has a pretty good first two episodes then it fell off a cliff. I’d give the edge to TC but it’s close.
>>555426739Alex is a very likeable protagonist, which goes a long way, but the plot was absolutely nothing. I thought it was okay for the vibes, but the ending was a total joke. I can't imagine ever replaying it.>>555426565I actually liked Chloe more on replaying it. Her positive traits stood out to me more and her worst moment in episode 3 didn't hit me in the same way since I knew how it ends up.
>>555426565>or they’re an angsty teen who finds her relatableOr people who, for whatever reason, got mentally stuck in that age. Gotta give them credit though, a few threads back, most of them straight up admitted that even though they love her in-game, in real life they'd keep people like that at arm's length. No way they'd put up with or "carry" someone like that. And when they described the kind of person they'd actually want to spend their life with, or their current partner, it sounded way more like Amanda, lol
>>555424812It gets progressively retarded from that point on with how contrived and ham-fisted some of the situations are. Especially when they reach the wall and instead of Daniel lifting them over, which he can do with absolute ease at this point, he instead tears it open to drive in a literal breaking the wall message. It's still the best in the franchise easily.
>>555426565Media literacy sure is hard
>>555429434you seethe
>>555426565She's going through a lot of shit and she has zero friends.
I cannot be more hyped that Captain Chloe sails again
Judging by how they're dumping money into EU marketing, DE sales must have been very bad in Europe. They're basically trying to make up for it now.
something about max being able to romance a different parallel universe variant of a girl she broke up with seems freaky as hell to me. doesn't that just prove de bae chloe right about not being able to trust max and her powers.
>>555435645The shit she can pull in DE is completely out of character and makes her have learned nothing from the first game
>>555436178you seethe
>>555435645Amanda's the type of girl you'd do that for
>>555433178DE did so bad that I don't think most people even know it exists or dismissed it as it's own weird thing.I think they are going so heavy into marketing Reunion now because they need to let people know that an actual LiS sequel is coming out.
>>555438215Lol
>>555438215you seethe
>>555437943True
>>555438215They also need the fanbase to stay positive. With a TV show coming out, they clearly want it to act as a springboard for deeper cooperation with Amazon. A fanbase that’s angry and divided can only hurt that. On top of that, the show will likely drive game sales and bring in new fans. Double Exposure seriously undermines that, especially when Max and Chloe are meant to be the main draw.
>>555438875you seethe
>>555438826Why can't they all be this reasonable and of sound mind
>>555438875SE fucks up. The sky is blue. Some things will never change.
>>555439021They can
>>555439191It's no surprise to see that those who actually played the games understood Max's and Amanda's characters.
>>555436178Honestly, if you replaced Max with an original character, it would barely change anything within the core of the game.
>>555439649you seethe
>>555438826>>555439191None of those people understood Max and they are fine with her abusing her powers in a out of character way to get into a relationship. They are shallow minded and superficial, just like DE isAmanda should call Max a red flag when she does that, rather than just doing so when you opt to not romance her, because it will fit a lot more her supposed emotional maturity. But I'm quite happy Amandafags are getting the short end of the stick in Reunion
>>555439508>people are fine with Max's beign OoC as long as Amandarino does smoothy faceslow IQ typical of DEfags
>>555441002>>555441057you seethe
>>555439508most of the pf-fags never even got what lis1 was about, they just reduced it to shipping
>>555442114Life is Strange was lightning in a bottle, a conclusive story about nostalgia from the past, coming of age and growth mixed with a Twin Peaks style mistery and unique supernatural ability that spin on the classic Telltale formula. Pricefield shipping was just the cherry on the top
>>555443028you seethe
the tripfag is autistically engaging and getting shat on by kenolove to see it

>>555435645>doesn't that just prove de bae chloe right about not being able to trust max and her powers.The Double Exposure writers making Chloe a paranoid with insecurities was a completely fucking retarded narrative choice they used to give themselves space to write in three quirky Asians who wanted to get between Max's legs and it is beyond idiotic for you to perpetuate such out of character nonsense.
>>555456172you seethe
>>555456172Amanda is native american, not asian. But her etnicity is barely relevant to the story, to the point you could replace her with any other type of character as long as they fit the role of generic shallow love interest for Max
>>555456172kek what a retard
so whats the consensus on this dude?
>>555456976you seethe
>>555457371Probably a posh rich boy who's a chief suspect, but it wont be him. it'l all be revealed to be Yasmins fault as some sort of revenge.
>>555457646This but it will be Safi and Diamond all along
I want the next title to be more a sort of kooky scooby doo mystery. More light hearted.
>>555460952I’d be totally fine if it was just like the Mass Effect Citadel dlc
Think it is how it would be or is Chloe big spoon?
>>555457371ummm, hello?
>>555435645Kino kiss scene though
>>555462002It all makes sense now.Reunion isnt just M&C, it's Dont nod and Lis.Corey came through the Abyss and entered caledon. The post credit scene will be Swann meeting Amanda.
>>555386921They were sleeping together post-LiS though, so... who knows
>>555462091>Swann meeting Amandawill they kissu?
>>555461859You have literally seen them in bed before nigga
>>555435645And she seemingly pulls this shit again in Reunion. From what we saw she's romancing and going on boat dates with an alternative merged-timeline Chloe, who had a different life and didn't suffer through the storm, while the original Chloe that left Max gets discarded I guess? Ceases to exist? I hope that's not the case, it's very odd ethically.
>>555462295Swann is faithful to Nora, not a random bartender
>>555464161But if its an alternative timeline Chloe, then why do they put so much effort into saying this time Bae and Bay are merged in Chloe?
>>555464161>>555464225you seethe
>>555464161It's multiple Chloes from multiple different timelines, not every timeline, merged into one
>>555448102She's not even going to be a option
>>555447130the distilled essence of shitfield fanbase
>>555464652unless they are lying again, the implication is that Chloe is just the one that merged with her Bae self and Bay self, and the timelines brought back Arcadia Bay too
>>555464867It's a big club, and you aren't in it
>>555447130Sweet seething. It's so nice that your wasting your life like this. Gives us so much entertainment

Odds we get DLC from the interregnum period that undoes the breakup letter and Victoria 'n shit?
>>555465887We'll get the tie in comic to cover the DE - Reunion timeskip, and the Izzie novel to cover Chloe's before DE, and that will be it

>>555467572I'm not the izzie anon you moron
>>555469350gwen was done with the school anyway, they were bound to leave regardless.Izzie will have to make an appearance though, considering they're writing a book about Izzie and Izzie is peak waifubait
what the fuck am I reading
>>555470795>gwen was done with the school anyway, they were bound to leave regardless.In my game Gwen wants to keep fighting and to help other students
>>555471342Izzie is a /lisg/ self insert.
izzie is the most powerful character in the lis universe
>>555471342Yeah she's really awful throughout the entire book. Take every stereotype that applies to a tranny and/or faggot and you've got Izzie. Also everyone was more than accommodating to him when they reached Haven, Gabe didn't give a shit and so did the rest iirc.
>>555471408Too bad she's leaving anyway because your choices don't matter at all
>>555471930fun fact, lots of 4channers will realize they are trans/gay/bi/NB in the closet and they'll accept their identity sooner than laterthere's a chance you might be one of them
>>555472616Original poster here, the tweet is another part of SE's thinking they can milk nostalgia regardless of how shameless, tone deaf or out of touch it appears
>>555473393you seethe
>>555472870anon, pleasewe can see you are deep in the closet
>>555439649Which could’ve happened if Pricefielders didn’t beg for a sequel to a game intended to be a standalone.
>>555473142That's all made up fucking nonsense. No one has to be anything, jew.
>>555473729Those motherfuckers did NOT care what Pricefielders wanted.
>>555474609They really didn't, anyway. New writers picking it up 10 years after the original scripts were finished did whatever they felt like, it was unmistakably out of character, and they paid for it.
>>555474868you seethe
>>555475465>the expanded universe novels and comics, cameos in other LiS titlesYeah but nobody fucking cares about that shit. The only thing we learned about Max and Chloe in 2 is that they can potentially be traveling together 4 years after the first game. Not a fucking thing otherwise.
>>555465887Didn't SE already say there will be no DLC?
>>555471342I can't believe Steph fucked Izzie
>>555470795Izzie will never physically appear.
>>555474265Yeah, if DE was their attempt at appealing to the Pricefield audience, they're actually stupid.It's more likely that SE London took the fact that the first game was the only one with good sales and the fact that Chloe is a divisive character and thought that a Max game without Chloe is taking something people like and removing something people don't like, which has to be better, right? Very smooth-brained executivethink, but a plausible explanation.
>>555480101Probably, but then they backtracked hard and went full Pricefield for the sequel, which is still strange to explain and I just don't buy the one game divided in two arguments
>>555481739I'm not sure what to think about Reunion yet, but I find it really hard to believe there wasn't any pivoting in response to DE's reception. I'm not counting on the documentary in the deluxe edition to reveal anything significant, we probably won't know much about how things ended up the way they did for a long time.
>>555484554I think 1000 years in the future we'll probably have tech to change our sex on a whim, so the idea of trans people will be gone anyway
>>555485232This. if people are still around we'll be full on cyberpunk transhumanism by then.
>>555485232>>555485521Assuming the world isnt gonna be a post-nuclear wasteland fallout style, with all the high tech gone.All I did was recreate the picrel meme.
>>555485985you must be a troglodyte to believe that garbage meme is real. In actual archeology and antropology, there's much more than just bone structure or DNA to identify if a past human remain might have belonged to a man or a woman
>>555484554Fuck off to /pol/ with this slop garbage
>>555483262We know Rhianna had a lead role since 2022, and it turned out to be Chloe as Reunion had a proper build on Steam by September 2023, so I'm on the idea at least some of the people between D9 and SE were already walking back but still had to commit to DE because they spent way too much money on its success
>IT'S MA HOME DAVID, PAID FO AND IN MA NAME
Last digit determines where you sit
>>555490387Plz make it good.
>>555490387Rollin
>>555490387God please 5Fuck, please
>>555490387Max and Chloe let's go
>>555490387>all the pairs have a free seat inbetween them except for Max and Chloe because they have to seat next to each otherKek, understandable
Safi Sexo
>>555492368Believe or not lots of antropologist made mistakes on the gender of skeletons and that's they need to consider all the available evidence to examine who they were by the things they were buried with, in which place they were ect..And also, with modern day society its more likely to incinerate corpses than a old style burial, so good luck trying to analize dust
>>555493364For once I agree. She's a psychotic cunt, but i still would.
>>555494269You brought the argument of archeology and antropology, which is different from a jury requesting an autopsy of a recently dead body>You people are as bad as the flat earthers Said the transphobe. Fuck off to /pol/ and remain there, Life is Strange is a progressive series and trans people are a significant portion of its audience
>>555495269NTA but I feel like males still dominate the fanbase, maybe 50%/40% for male and female respectively, and 10% for others
>>5554903876 would definitely be the most interesting seat by far.
>>555495569>if you bring up the easily verifiable fact that it's difficult to identify a human's sex based on their skeleton after hundreds of years (the realm of archeology) is difficult it means you hate scienceI've never in my life found a trans person as comically and unreasonably attached to their wrong opinions.I'm sure you'll find that unbelievable, but it should give you an indication of how unreasonable you sound.>>555496086Oh fuck the hell yes.
>>555495569Science also says trans people are valid and should be helped in their transition, stop being a pussy pretending you care about science when its all gut hatred of trans people
>>555500618>I've never in my life found a trans person as comically and unreasonably attached to their wrong opinionsTrans folks are valid, and they make a part of the Life is Strange series. Some are annoying people, but so certain cis people are too
>>555502751Science also said lobotomies were great and the brain was for cooling blood at one point. Also leeches are great for purifying yourself and the earth was flat.Your argument is dogshit appeal to authority.
>>555490387Has anyone else here played Vampyr? It’s one of my favorite games, I like to play it every year around Halloween.
>>555505298Tell me why trans people shouldn't be valid, because if you use the "uhrr is mental illness" science has since moved past that definition, and to put it on the same level of lobotomies is very disingenuous
>>555502751lol it honestly doesn’t. Older studies show the best cure for gender dysphoria in adolescents is to just let them go through puberty. The vast majority of them end up being gay or lesbian post puberty. Have you ever heard of the Cass Review? I know you haven’t, but this study was done in 2024 and debunked so much of the tranny science that it moved the UK to let go of the WHO model used to treat gender dysohoria, this is why people are having a harder time getting access to hormones and surgeries, especially minors, in the UK. It’s always seemed crazy to me that you think you are so full of compassion for trans people but you haven’t ever bothered to learn about medical transition beyond blind acceptance. It’s really not healthy for people to take cross sex hormones for life or to undergo these Frankenstein tier surgeries, The vast majority of people who experience gender dysphoria do not need medical intervention.
>>555507302Cass Review is pseudoscience garbage made by a terf and the WHO is still valid, but I do appreciate how you can't contain your seething hatred of trans people lmao
>>555507976Well an entire country moved away from the WHO standard so I genuinely think you’re acting in bad faith in casting out the review entirely. I’m not sure it matters much to you because you won’t change your mind, but I was trans for 10 years before de transitioning. That’s why I care about it so much, I really care about people who struggle like I have. I just encourage you to open your mind if you sincerely want to help people.
>>555490387roll dem bones
>>555508440>you’re acting in bad faith in casting out the review entirelyEngland has been a braindead country since they fucked themselves over with brexit. But dont take my word, take the actual experts that pointed out how full of shit that review ishttps://osf.io/preprints/osf/uhndk_v1https://ruthpearce.net/2024/04/16/whats-wrong-with-the-cass-review-a-round-up-of-commentary-and-evidence/>but I was trans for 10 years before de transitioningIf this is true, you have been conviced by cultists to get back in the closet anon. You will always be a trans person, in the same way gay people are gay even if they are forced in a straight marriage, and you are a useful prop to people that won't never accept your true self and identity, and you will only hurt other queer people by doing what you are doing
>>555505298Science is a continued effort and scientific knowledge is built upon previous scientific knowledge, at times contradicting it, so unless you specifically have a good (scientific) reason for not referring to the latest research, standards and such, you should.Also, the notions that "lobotomies were great", the brain was for cooling blood and the earth was flat weren't reached through the scientific method, while leeches are occasionally used in medical practice to this day.>>555507302>older studiesWhy would you refer to older studies instead of more recent ones?>the Cass reviewI'm having a look at it now for the first time, and it seems to conclude that there is no sufficient statistical evidence to conclude that gender affirming care improves mental health outcomes in children.Not that trans people aren't valid, nor that the mental health of people over the age of 18 doesn't improve with gender affirming care, nor that it's (un)healthy for people to take hormones for life, nor that any amount of people who experience gender dysphoria do or do not need medical intervention.>>555508440>an entire country moved away from the WHO standardIs that the same country that applies and removes tariffs to foreign imports on a whim, whose president suggested injecting invermectin to treat covid, whose currency is currently at a record low, who proudly invaded a sovereign country "to take the oil", and whose immigration enforcers shoot domestic citizens during protests?I wouldn't use that country as an example of a reasonable place where they enact policies for their people's good.
>>555509382>you will always be a trans personMaybe anon was never a trans person in the first place, regardless of what they may have felt in the moment, or what they may have been lead to believe.One might easily argue after taking a quick look at twitter, bluesky and/or some discord server, that there are trans people who make an effort to get people to think they are trans.Someone might call them cultists based on their looks, culture, strict adherence to a series of rules/talking points, e.g. if you've detransitioned you've been convinced by cultists to get back in the closet, this fictional character is definitely trans because they have so much in common with my experience, ...
>>555471342>Jewish troonWow no way
>>555511958I don't know what the source for the pic is, but it does seem the person is describing themselves as sort of a noncomforming individual who presented themselves as tomboyish, and yeah many trans folks would agree society need a lot more open acceptance of nonbinary and noncomforming people who aren't in a simple hetero binary
>>555474265Chloe is literally going to be in Reunion/DE2 and will obviously end up with Max if the player chooses.
>>555524482Different teams altogether, no common writers
>>555524482Even IF the Square Enix London plan was to pull a story arc or of their ass that would make Chloe returning all the sweeter they needed to say nothing about why they broke up instead of making it a total shitshow that pissed everyone off.
my max is NOT interested in zombie chloe
>>555529221but what if zombie chloe is interested in max
>>555424812So, I finished LiS2 today, this game is fucking good. I'm actually kind of mad I didn't play it earlier. I wasn't interested in a brothers road trip story and assumed that wrangling Daniel would be a huge pain in the ass, but it works really well. Combined with the complaining from players, I decided to skip it. Those players are fucking idiots.The dialog is less clunky than the first game, but it still maintains a lot of the same charm. I ended up liking Sean and Daniel, it was cool seeing how they developed over the course of their journey. They were both kind of shitheads at times, but the way that they genuinely cared about each other was nice to see. Biggest complaint is I wish we had more time with certain characters. I think that's where the first game has an edge. LiS2 does a good job of making you like characters while they're around, I just think seeing new sides of characters as the story advances from episode 1 to episode 5 is a little more rewarding.I agree with >>555426739 on the rankings of the games in the series. The power gap between the DN and D9 games is staggering.
I'll call it, they are going to spoil all the game before it comes out with some new launch trailer
>>555543005ICE ICE BABY
>>555561698Slipping on ice while being a fat retard yeah
i miss UE poser anon, if he returns for a new game he has to either finish the last request on Lost Records or make new album covers
>>555315240Assuming they announce and relase the Netflix project between 2027 or 2028, it wouldn't be far fetched for them to accept a new contract with SE. After all, the London portion of SE will be gone and Don't Nod has opened themselves to work with every publisher they can
>>555576213it will be made by HBO and they will give us a very lewd kissing scene between Chloe and Max, like a two hour long kissing scene, very lewd, maybe even handholding as well...
If normalfags make a Life is Strange tv show and it's adult oriented the whole thing is going to be like looking up Rule 34 aka non-stop negroid rape fantasy

>>555590469>poor chemistry between Rhianna and Hannah(
Chloe will roll up to Caledon with Izzie and the rest of the band, and they'll play at the bar while Chloe and Max finally moshpit together
>>555591721That one was a fake leak
>>555591721Yeah, it looks heavily forced. And they probably can't even show the actually funny bloopers. And they're saving them for the documentary
>>555592875We should do a bingo chart for the doc and see what we get right and wrong
>>555596673you seethe
>>555596891Are you going to keep your act even if Reunion is D9's death bed apology to pricefielders?
>>555561282So far they haven't shown anything compared to the gameplay stream before DE. Not a single full dialogue branch, no puzzles, nothing. Just the difference in how events are presented by the character when choosing the ending of the first game and a little explanation of the refined rewind mechanic. As for the rest, you can see it's a rough build with textures not loading and empty placeholders where the interaction wheels should be.It's not looking good
>>555597727There's a bit of tutorial on Moses lab and the basement with Loretta in which Max's rewind is in action, but I fear its not going to be enough in terms of unique uses of the mechanic>It's not looking goodTheir FAQ site even highlights they are going to implement a day 1 patch, they know the game is a mess and hope to fix it before all remaining D9 employees are out
>>555597727Is it Safi? Looks like some kind of article about her
>>555591721Only one of them looks excited desu
>>555602232Yes but its not interactive
>>555592179They would have shown Izzie by now, the only new caracters are local guy, Noelle the security guard and notWarren
>>555424812I hard disagree, but sure, here are my disjointed thoughts without any order of importance. Better then shitposting away.1) Daniel is annoying. I don't use the word loosely, he is incredibly annoying. Made it really really hard to care. 2) The entire game is one miserable journey with no breaks or stops. All other LiS games (and Lost Records) are bittersweet, melancholic and comfy, and balanced.3) The wall, mexicans, etc. I don't care. I'm not American, I'm not European, I'm not western, these things resonate with absolutely nothing in me. American politics are nauseating to me.4) The ridiculous wait times between episodes have left a bad taste in my mouth that I can't forget.5) LiS2 came out at a time when LiS1 was very fresh in people's minds, and people were wanting more, but they delivered with something 180 degree in opposite direction in terms of tone. That hurt me, I can't forget that.
lost records bros... will our time come?...
>>555609994hopefully with some merch stuff
>>555610812They must hurry up tho
So, whats our "Happy pricefield" ending going to be?A full on montage, going back to Arcadia Bay, old friends, a wedding, ending sat by the lighthouse as Obstacles plays?
>>555611530Going back to Arcadia Bay seems like the most obvious ending they could do
>>555611530The best "pricefield" ending is for them to remain friends and realize their full potentials just like the ending to La La Land. The absolute best ending is for Max to split every Chloe that got merged and return them to their respective timelines where they part as friends because Chloe canonically died in LiS 1. Max then lives happily ever after with Amanda.
>>555611530I don't think it will be this detailed>a weddingNo chance imo
Two questions:Will Reunion make DE good? And qrd on Chloe please
>>555611530going back to Arcadia Bay/West Coast would be the ending I'd like to see.Max has no business being on the East Coast, doesn't suit her or Chloe
>>555613559DE's already good. Meanwhile, Reunion will pale in comparison because it looks like it's not going to take any risks like DE did and is too fan-servicey so far. Any game/book/movie will suffer from those points.
>>555613559>Will Reunion make DE good?No, but it might make it more bearable knowing that it's the lead in to something better.>>555613195Thats the bad ending.
>>555613559>Two questions:okay, what are the questions?>>Will Reunion make DE good?DE won't benefit from Reunion if it's received well, it still at the end of the day is an okay story that, unless you love Max, is skippable.however, I personally enjoyed the gameplay/new ability and things to do, story aside I had fun with it.>>And qrd on Chloe pleaseChloe is Max's childhood friend, that after a few years apart get reunited in the first game, and go through emotional times and depending on what you chose, either made you grow closer or you lost her for good.with Reunion though, because of what occured in DE, Chloe is back again, so I assume we'll be met with the same decision from the first game, and for the players who chose incorrectly at the end of the first game, they'll probably have a second chance to choose correctly this time
>>555615307>they'll probably have a second chance to choose correctly this timeOh thank God, I knew sacrificing the Bay was the wrong one. I'll sacrifice Chloe this time around, thanks anon.
>>555615950thank god it's opposite day!I'm sure you'll be quite happy with Chloe in your arms at the end of Reunion
>>555611530There will probably be an ending that shows Max and Chloe getting engaged. We might see Max having a big show of her photos at Caledon with cameos from characters from LIS like David, Victoria, Kate, maybe even Warren. Fanservice bonus for Steph and Alex and/or David bringing Karen with him. Just truly sappy shit to make you think of all the shit you actually liked to wrap it all in a nice bow since who knows if there will be another one.Other endings will be less sugary sweet, but I believe there will be at least one "perfect" ending.
>>555614124I think the ending will mostly be at Caledon for pure budget reasons, but there's an outside shot at them going back to Arcadia Bay and making the infamous breakfast order at the Two Whales.
>>555619175Something like this. It's hyped as the last game involving Max and Chloe, why not give them a proper send off?
>>555614195>DE's already goodIf you have low standards. Also Reunion was already part of the two part deal, you can't be fussy about it if they always thought about bringing Chloe back
>>555619175None of that will happen, but mostly because of budget. So instead we'll have just one ending of Max and Chloe going away to Arcadia Bay and it will be it
>>555624089I think whatever ending will more than likely use Caledon as the setting for budget reasons. I'm not a game dev and I don't know how much work goes into creating character models, but if the cameo characters don't get any dialog, I think it's manageable in the time they had to do at least a few.
>>555624089It's the big ending to their story. In a series that has time travel.I'm not expecting much, since Reunion was clearly made on a gum and shoestring budget. But I think we could end on Max getting look into her life together with Chloe slide-show style. Maybe over the credits.So we still get to see them get married and such. But not in a way that would be expensive to do.
>>555625614At best, we'll see them driving out in the car in a scene that is a shameless copy of the original Bae ending and it will be it. A marriage scene would require new assets and D9 is already scraping the bottom of the barrel by bringing in the Remasters models into the game
>>555627227I think an implied marriage would not break the bank.Something like Chloe and Max holding hands on the lighthouse cliff, with the camera making a point to focus on them both wearing rings.
>>555627681That seems nice but it's not going to happen. I expect a bait and switch with the Chloe dying again thing, and Max will pull out a deus ex machina like she did for Safi the game prior resulting in a mid ending once again
The budget will go into the Pricefield ending as thats the one they will expect most people to go for.
>>555629307Do we even believe there's going to be even multiple endings?
>>555630783I think we're going to be given the choice between Max dying/unhappening like Alderman or not, at the very least. Sub-endings with Chloe alive/dead.
Lets say Reunion is good, and gives decent Closure for Pricefield.Can /lisg/ finally down tools and disband?
>>5556095571) Yes, especially in episode 3. But that's how kids are. He's a pain in the ass sometimes but he's fun at other times. And while I don't think you need to love every second of it, I think it's by design. The challenge is doing the right thing for Daniel even when he's not always nice to you, just like a real 9 year old.2) Disagree. There are comfy moments throughout, even with the specter of the police hanging over your head. Most of the time in Beaver Creek was pretty comfy, there were some good times with the drifters, most of episode 5, really. You're going to tell me the canyon and treasure hunt in Away wasn't nice?3) Skill issue.4 and 5, I can empathize with, but it wasn't part of my experience. If I had played it at release, I probably would have been annoyed, too. I don't think I've played an episodic game as each episode was released since BTS because I hate waiting.
>>555639150If Starfield's General can keep going for two years without a single update, we can too. At least we're likely to get more content after Reunion
>>555639150wish that would happen to a certain other general whose game stopped receiving content over a year ago. but /lisg/ is chill.
>>555654798Its Starfield, isnt it
>>555632624I'm not so sure we are going to get that
>>555665790no, and i won't say.
>>555666331>medium ugly max and chloecool i guess
so in reunion max supposedly jumps back through a photo to 3 days ago to stop the fire, but in lis 1 every time she does that, she soon after blacks out and goes back to the exact moment in the timeline when she jumped through the photo. that leaves only a few minutes to change stuff before automax takes over. what.
>>555672428True
>>555672428They write into the premise of Reunion that Max's rewind powers have evolved once again to permit that. It's a bullshit explaination, but guess we have to roll with it
>>555672428Yeah, that immediately stuck out to me, too. If they wanted to do the whole thing where Max sees a future event, they could have just done it like Max's first dream of the storm in LiS1 without violating the rules of her powers, but that would require D9 actually giving a shit.
>>555672428Her powers evolved, nothing much to it than that.
>>555673675Much easier to just change the powers and just say fuck it, that's how it works now>>555673838>yeah powers evolved we aint going to give a proper compelling reason why so deal with it
>>555613195Someone finally has a brain instead of just huffing nostalgia bait. The other suggestions are unreadable. Going back to AB is absolute brainrot. Why they'd even need that?!
>>555674964There's really no reason for them to stay in Arcadia Bay at all, they've already moved on from there. The comics understood that, though they did return to honor the casualties of the storm and are doing their best to form a better community. If they do that in Reunion, it's going to yet again get backlash from pissfielders for "copying" the comics' ending, lazy writing blah blah blah even though it is the ending they want.With that said, don't expect much from the pissfielders in terms of brainpower anon. Just look at how they try and reason why Max's powers are the way there are now. If you say it doesn't need to be explained - it's poor writing. If you try and give one - then not everything needs to be explained and/or it's going to be lazy D9 writing even though we don't know yet. After all, LiS 1 did the same thing but somehow that's okay right?
>>555674964>Going back to AB is absolute brainrot. Why they'd even need that?!Anon, this is D9 we are talking about. Amanda and Vinh are going to be discarded and they are going to go to Arcadia Bay again (or imply to) because that's what they were teasing in the DE ending, and its way more likely to happen since AB is now still intact regardless of LiS1>555676028>get backlash from pissfielders for "copying" the comics' ending, lazy writingBecause it is, and you are still trying to defend poorly written corporate fanfiction made to cash on a complete story. You can cry all you want about "muh pissfielders" but the truth is Square Enix made this mess in the first place
>>555676028I don't give a shit about their reaction. Hopefully, the pandering is just for the marketing and the actual game has some integrity left. D9 or not, it's still better than blatant nostalgia baiting>Just look at how they try and reason why Max's powers are the way there are nowYeah, I KEKed at his description of the photo jump mechanic, and how he totally ignored its most crucial part>>555677451>you are still trying to defend poorly written corporate fanfiction made to cash on a complete story.NTA,and don't recall ever doing that. But I'm gonna enjoy watching you do the exact same thing in two months' time
>>555678650>has some integrity left>D9Might as well live on Mars for that to happen. DE exist because D9 will accept everything to keep the LIS IP even the original game was a complete story who didn't need a rehash and repeat>But I'm gonna enjoy watching you do the exact same thing in two months' timeDeeply delusional and low IQ, not surprising for someone who is mentally obsessed with PFs and very pathetic to brag about it
>>555678650>Hopefully, the pandering is just for the marketing and the actual game has some integrity left. D9 or not, it's still better than blatant nostalgia baitingAgreed, it's the least compelling thing about the whole game right now. I'm hoping they release another trailer or two to vaguely outline the overall mystery of the game, it has me piqued to say the least. There's a fire, defacing of school property and some call for impeachment. But why? Will be sorely disappointed if the mystery is just some hollow political message.
>>555679473>vaguely outline the overall mystery of the game, it has me piqued to say the leastLow standards, the mistery is on par of your average Scooby Doo episode>Will be sorely disappointed if the mystery is just some hollow political messageIt's just going to be hollow, much like all of Deck Nine political messaging has been superficial and level surface shallow writing. Joke's on you believing there's more to this story than D9 recycling once again the same things from the previous game
>>555679873you seethe
>>555679473It's blindingly obvious that the fire plot and the whole mystery were planned as part of the overarching story way before DE. Just as obvious as the marketing being heavily skewed toward shipper-baiting. Whether the actual game doubles down on that remains to be seen
>>555680248>It's blindingly obvious that the fire plot and the whole mystery were planned as part of the overarching story way before DE.But its still not interesting because people only found the fire quotes after it was revealed. If you fail to make people interested in your supposedly planned overarching story, then you have failed as a storyteller>Whether the actual game doubles down on that remains to be seenLower your expectations anon this is Deck 9 we are dealing with
i'm kinda out of the loop, but why does SE hate Aslhy Burch again
>>555688094Hag Nora sexo
>>555691783she's on that high horse type beat
>>555691783She's unionized, her popularity has grown beyond LiS and she's hella expensive to hire, so it's much cheaper to use Rhianna again
>>555597727by the way, it's out of frame here, but there's a Caledon sports team pennant hanging to her right. pretty sure I saw that logo in the concept art, but it never showed up in DE as far as I remember. makes me wonder if it's an intentional lore dropalso, at least the family photo is still there, lol
Fire gets mentioned once again in DE
>>555695552And again, here.Now we have 4 examples where they talk about fire.
>>555695552>>555695826I could be wrong but I think they mention the old projector as something likely to cause a fire too.
>>555695552>>555695826Great, but why players should care? The only thing DE put on fire is their own company
>>555698835you seethe
All those fire references are kind of a nothingburger in the whole narrative, because the key of attention was all on that post credit scene with Safi and Diamond forming the Avengers. Unless Diamond has fire powers
Max will return Avengers: Doomsday
>>555606516The article is interactive, I just rewatched that part in the reveal
>no theoriesSad. Well apart from some speculations like it being Abraxas, Diamond, Safi or silly ones like Chloe's cigarette there isn't really much to analize. At least theories before BtS and DE were fun.
>>555704392I told this long ago, and its getting proven again, D9 has no sauce to carry over interest for their stories and characters beyond what Don'tNod made. And DE left so much of a sour taste people just don't care enough to commit ahead
>>555694018Heh, good catch.Maybe they actually are expanding the lore, similar to how they handle Abraxas this time>at least the family photo is still there, lolMissed opportunity
>>555705498fuuuck that exposed thigh.....
Why is Lucas still there?He should've been fired after the Maya scandal, honestly.
So what's the canon timeline for each game?
amanduh
>>555706260He's probably under strict probation and because he still has a reputation, keeping him is probably the lesser evil in the eyes of the university.
>>555706010Enjoy, anon
>>555705498>Maybe they actually are expanding the lore, similar to how they handle Abraxas this timeTo expand the lore you need people who care about it, and Abraxas is like discount Vortex Club in the mind of most LiS fans. But even if they try to turn into this secret society stuff they are like turning LiS into a Riverdale episode>>555707065>canonThe canon is the friends we made along the way
>>555706260>>555707629He still has no story purpose into being there after DE. IMO I bet that outside of Moses, Safi and Loretta, all the other returning DE cast have little role in Reunion to the point they might as well ax them

Happy 11th Birthday, Life is Strange EP1.
>>555694018There was a lot of content that was planned but didn't make it into DE, wouldn't be surprised if that was in that pile.>>555706260He's going to be the arsonist. Fuck it, who cares?>>555719534They should have given Chloe stretched lobes and Max a tiny septum ring.
>>555722798>He's going to be the arsonistits obviously Safi and Diamond who set up the fire
>>555719534I can't wait to see Chloe again. I know the game will suck massive dick, but I can't help but be hype.
>>555724684Probably, but it feels too obvious and I can see D9 using them as a red herring.
>During a party scene, the player is offered wine and is given the option to take a sip. The player character realises that she has been spiked from the drink that she sipped on and is experiencing hallucinations. Images on screen become distorted and a scene plays out with the character seeing strange images. A character tells the hallucinating character that she is "tripping balls".Who is getting drugged, Max or Chloe? I'm thinking it's Max and Chloe is saying she's "tripping balls", since Chloe already said that phase in LiS1 (to David).
>>555734893Nahh, theyre going the based route and bringing Chloe back. Its not that far fetched to expect they go all the way in and make those shitskins responsible.

>>555770149Headcanon: Chloe is actually a very clean person, sometimes showering twice a day, but Max wants her to stink more. She fucking loves Chloe's sweaty pits.
Pirated DE. Max’s moogle outfit is cute. She’d wear it because she loves Spirits Within.
what if chloe shows up to caledon and max looks like this
Any good Maxine-centered fics with no romance or shipping?
>>555772968It has to be Chloe dressed as Max with brown hair

I saw Jefferson show up in an email to Epstein...
>>555807763Welp he's getting pardoned
>>555807763Guess it all make sense now
>>555807763The Prescotts would be there too
>>555788031Just some newspaper clippings about that student's death. You can read them in-game, they're interactive. Same as that Caledon pennant the other anon mentioned
>>555819098Have you seen the pictures of Sean Prescott getting a feet massage by Ghislaine Maxwell? Nasty shit
>>555818739I'm now imagining a Max Payne-ish shooter with rewind mechanics feat. Max
>>555818739A fine vintage.
How did Safi even know Max had powers?
>>555821614She didn't
>>555807763
>>555820550If they turned Life is Strange into a Bayonetta style action game, I would actually gain some respect for SE and D9.
>>555822831So Max took down Epstein's ring too?! Lmfao, what a bunch of clowns, they really thought they could mess with her powers and get away with it
>>555831350Another reason why LIS is redpilled
Anyone hoping the new game will have ties to the Epstein files? Like, Nathan and the Prescott family had ties to the paedophile cabal?
>>555834175>redpilledthat entire movement has been built by Epstein and his pedo friends kek
>>555834418Not after what I've read was in those files... I wouldn't wish that on literally anyone, even some of the worst LiS cunts..
>>555834418I'd quite like to hear about how Kate got passed around in a cult, desu. And what she may/may not have seen re: baby sacrifices.

>>555876153>YesI can't figure out why?
>>555865548I would have liked pricefield to have a better game tho
>>555856445linkhttps://rule34.paheal.net/post/view/7189442
>>555876361The setting is literally perfect for this kind of deep dive and LiS is at its best when it explores the rot hidden beneath the surface. Having a small-town/university mystery lead all the way up to high-level conspiracy is exactly the kind of escalation the franchise needs
>>555885994Yeh but it's just a game bro, it has nothing to do with real life.
>>555885921holy based
>>555885839You have to earn a better game. For now, enjoy getting exactly what you begged for. 'Hope some of the things in the game will make you feel better' or whatever PR slop they posted, lol
>>555892069>earnThey should have not roped themselves into this stupid two games contract to begin with, and they should have never brought back Max and Chloe in the first place
>>555892338Should've thought of that before throwing a fit over 2 being not about them
>If only you would have been more specific that the game should be good instead of bad
>>555893674>If only you knew that talentless D9 would be developing and money-grubbing SE would be calling the shots...Oh wait, you did
>>555893120Why do you always ignore True Colors? People liked that game and the anthology format and it was a decent enough commercial success. There's nothing that forced SE to bring back Max to continue a finished story
>>555894759True Colors underperformed expectations. Every game in the series has sold worse than the one before it.They were desperate to keep the license for Life is Strange because they have nothing else going on but didn't have any actual ideas.
>>555896179>True Colors underperformed expectationsThis. It's only considered 'successful' because it had half the budget of DE
>>555896179>True Colors underperformed expectationsCould you provide a source on this? We have former devs from D9 even stating the game did "great" when LIS2 didn't do well enough
>>555856445very based>>555896179>Game with Max & Chloe - giga sales>Game with only Chloe - less sales>Game without Max or Chloe (boy version) - even less sales>Game without Max or Chloe (girl version) about the same amount of shit sales>Game with only Max - bad salesIt's clear that Neither Max nor Chloe can carry a game on their own. However, making games without either of them will sell even worse.

So, I got advertised the trailer.How are they gonna fuck this one up, guys? Place your bets.
>>556013321Game is filled with bugs and poorly optmizedRehash of LiS1Max and/or Chloe diesThe supehero bullcrap still appears at the end
>>556012618chinky little fella
>>556013435>>556013321No LIS 1 characters.AlternativelyOnly LIS 1 Characters.
>>556013516Max and Chloe are the only LiS1 characters we see, all the rest are going to be messages on the phone
>>556014692Yes.Also, how did Max not catch the bay people / Chloe were alive for 10 months?If Reunion was a few days after DE, fine but 10 months?? I guess my girl did the right thing and deactivated her cross talk account.
>>555490387roll
>>556021471this is going to be a messy story with retcons and time fuckery isn't it?
>>556014692Ruined already. Their best chance was to capitalize on LIS 1 nostalgia. And that would involve seeing some characters from game 1
>>556026334As bad as people wanting Rachel back, or suggesting Warren as a LI, are, they're nothing compared to the LiS1 cast nostalgiatards.GTFO
>>556027469Not Rachel or Warren. Rachel got ruined by Before the Storm and, unfortunately for any male characters, people play LIS for lesbians.
>>556021471This will absolutely not come up.
>>556031592It might come up, but it's going to be convoluted
>>556021471>Also, how did Max not catch the bay people / Chloe were alive for 10 months?Her phone got sucked by a hole to another universe
www.esrb.org/ratings/41020/life-is-strange-reunion/>The game contains references to suggestive material in the text and dialogue >“[H]is girlfriend thought this was an orgy”>“I was on a Tinder date…I got a slinky and second base...”>“This bartender wants to show me his python...I think he also wants to bang.”You know who wrote those dialogues

>>556039687Well, point 4 is confirmed. So the Time Shackle leak was legit all along
>>556049323What was the time shackle thing and what was confirmed?
>>556045087I think the shot woman is probably from a Chloe flashback, so it doesn't necessarily mean much.
>>556052217It's definitely Chloe. Or/and Safi.
>>556052217The ESRB for DE was far more revealing with the Alderman scene, Reunion seems a lot more tame
>>555885921This is what LiS3 should've been about.
>>556044164That chick is legit revolting. She looks like a walking corpse. Absolutely ghoulish.
>>556071509she looks normal?
>>556073041Maybe if you you're a necromancer. Her head is gaunt as fuck. And her waxing every stray hair off doesn't help. She's a spooky skellington.

Gwen's VA has Reunion listed under the upcoming projects on IMDB. Perhaps it's an error or Gwen will actually be in Reunion.
