Last Winter Playtime editionPrevious thread: >>550353189 >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.LiS Series Steam:https://store.steampowered.com/curator/36149206Discussion of the other LiS games in the series like Life is Strange 2, True Colors, Don't Nod's Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, the upcoming TV show and other similar games is welcome!
Please don't die early like last time
>>550372497The road trip setting, in my view, would have been seen better if the players actually had more than just Sean and Daniel to the trip. Making it about an older brother babysitting his telekinetic young bro who's a realistic kid when the story needs it to be can only work so much unless they're like Clementine from TWD
The fuck is this new captcha?Doesn't even make sense.
>>550752842Go ask the administrators, they invent a new stupid thing every time
>>550752481There is actually is a lot more to the game than just Sean and Daniel. The babysitting criticism is always the weakest and is the No.1 indicator of the player's literacy.
D9 took a whole years to relase bloopers from DE to the point all their directors for the mocap have left as well as animators
>>550753532I know, but 80% of the story is around them and are the least interesting part. I'd rather have a game centered around Chris' or Sean interacting with characters that last more than one episode than Daniel, like more Cassidy or even Jacob
>>550751548
>>550754283holy yuckola
>>550754283It's the same trick plenty of chuds use for their video thumbnails, taking a shot of a woman character in a certain expression with bad light and pretend that's all she look like
>>550754781
do not fucking reply to the troll above jfc
>>550754937she's so fucking ugly i think i can puke
How's /lisg/ going to spend their Chirstmas and New Year eve vacations?
>>550755725With their loved ones, apparently
>>550755602Hopefully the repetitive AI chatbot that will replace you won't have those problems
>>550755897>Max abuses her power to get into a relationship and gets called outYour Reddit friend thinks she's bad for doing that, I believe it's bad because it makes Max look like she has learned fucking nothing from LIS1
>>550755897I wanna wish these two and the DE cast a Merry, Merry Christmas!
>>550756327Nobody cares about them
>>550756258>>Max abuses her power to get into a relationshipShe doesn't not abuse her powers to pursue a relationship>Max look like she has learned fucking nothing from LIS1With takes that dumb you look like you haven't gotten any smarter since the first game
>>550756327>I wanna wish these two a Merry, Merry Christmas!
>>550757252Soulless and flopped hard
>>550757367you seethe
You and I are gonna LIVE FOREVER
>>550757125>She doesn't not abuse her powers to pursue a relationship>refuse to be a mature person and accept the other person reject>pursue another version of her which is available>using the powers that might cause another stormlet's just say dontnod wouldn't have done this because it makes Max look like a immature moron
>>550757538We will
>>550757602>media literacy
>>550757252Well, if you insist.
I'm back
>>550757878Kek,literally Max in this game
>>550758041Max as written by the Riverdale writing team
>>550758224>RiverdaleDon't consume masscult garbage, sorry
>>550758039Huzzah!
>>550758537>garbageRiverdale is just like DE
>>550758880kek
sup queers i heard we're getting merch
>>550762027Yes, Lost Records merch. You might be even able to wear this one too
>>550762641sweet, will keep an eye out
dead like chloe
No blinding lightOr tunnels to gates of whiteJust our hands clasped so tightWaiting for the hint of a spark
>>550765709So its the franchise fate unless the show somehow revives the series
Nice oranges over there...
>>550768209Are you switching to oranges now, bananon?
>>550768419No, I love my bananas
>>550768647Indeed, those are some beautifully rendered oranges
>>550767753Kinda yeah, but chances don’t look that high to me. Not really the time for that kind of content. And don’t forget there’s another player in the mix now, and looks like LiS isn’t even on his roadmap.
>>550769146The Singapore shareholder group who's calling SE incompetent and wasteful?
The biggest problem with Max's model in DE is that a late 20s/early 30s bisexual art girl in 2023 would 100% have a septum piercing.
>>550791254Thank god she doesn't
>>550791254sure thing twin
Set me freeFrom this bad dreamSet me freeI want to screamWhat would you tradeWhat would you missWhat would you giveTo the abyss
>>550767182Nora is Dontnod's best character in a while, and yet I feel like I could not stand her adult version more than with her teen self in term of personality
>>550791254Max is a good girl, she'd never fall into that kind of degenerate crap
>>550806231Both Kate and Nora are something special. I hope we see more of them
>>550806231>and yet I feel like I could not stand her adult versionLA does that to people
>>550807420In a way, Nora has build this faux personality to shield herself from her past, but that has resulted in a lot of personal stress and insecurity pent up that pops out once she return to Velvet Cove
>>550813259They really did a good job with the characters in LR
>>550813812Nora is best character both past and present, no doubt
Why they never bothered to give a picture on how modern day Victoria, Chloe or Joyce looks like? Even in Lost Records, we have the picture of how Nora's wife and kids look like in detail despite being very marginal characters. And of course in LiS1 Rachel, Max's parents or Nathan's father have photo appareances while not having any model in game. Is D9 allergic to concept art pictures?
>>550831085Cause it doesn't matter at all
>>550831587>it doesn't matterYet those are details that should if you do want to show you care
>>550821559Shadows keep moving this is a Snowy neighborhood
>>550831085Good point, details like that would really make a difference.
>>550837947Swann is more of a Pumpkin gorl
faggot generalfaggot gamefaggot everythingit never began for y'all
>>550845769afraid so
>>550845769shut up or i'll suck your dick
>>550845769Anon, its ok to be gay, accept your inner self
>>550845769More like lesbian general. But just white lesbians
>>550866994SCHOOLS OUT
>>550831085Because Dontnod guys love their details, while D9 only care about money. I thought this was crystal clear after all those years
>>550872042Love that picture
>>550872042Fixed
>>550877882Love that picture
>>550877882Kek
>>550877882Pricefielders really live rent free inside your head
>>550877882>complain Max got brought back >also cry others didn't based pic exposing hypocrisy
>>550872042D9 almost had it, TC was their biggest success and The Expanse collab with Telltale should have been be the jumping point to more jobs outside of Square's shadow. Problem is, they were even more incompetent than the Dontnod CEO and blew all their bridges out. They established their mocap as services co-dev thing only when DE turned out a huge flop and all the negative buzz already erased all their credibility to other devs and publishers, when they should have started way much earlier. And now that all their most talented assets the mocap people are gone, their future is done
>>550882051
>>550881152If you are retarded sure, but you do so because you have no ground to stand. You will defend the worst corpo slop just because of spite
>>550882178Obsessed anon
>>550882220NTA, calling out someone's hypocrisy ≠ defending anything. You've got issues with basic comprehension
>>550880563they’re not even mentioned there. you’re just paranoid, go get help
>>550882742>makes the post to spite the idea that Max and Chloe are soulmates, which is held by PFs>"urr you're paranoid!!"
>>550845769nothing wrong with it
>>550751249Maybe if all the franchise games were in the OP and discussion of an off topic game wasn’t encouraged the threads would be better.
>>550877882Works better
live
>>550918851Replace D9 with Square Enix and it works even better
>>550911269The bar of the Steam link contains all the games, no need to repeat them
>>550931804it doesn't, and you know it
>>550877882Chloe still killed D9. So...
>>550934437
>>550932956Unless you are dishonest or just a boomer who can't use the internet, it does
>>550938419No DE
>>550938771DE Z NUTS
>>550938771>No DEYou are blind then
>>550938872GOT EM!
>>550939132fixed it for you
>>550939548You seem very obsessed. What's the point you are trying to prove?
>>550931804Anon, be a man already. Admit you’re seething over DE and that your fake teen girl ship died, and add all the games to the OP. You were given a template already.
>>550940649All the games are there already, including your favourite fanfiction. Be a man and learn how link works
>>550942371Why are you even writing this to me? I didn’t ask you for links. I told you three simple things to do. Come on, man up already.
>>550944394All the games are in the link, now shut the fuck up
No news before the next year I guess. How boring.
>>550952513How are they going to announce any news anyway? All of London will be out by January most likely, so the ball is on the Japanese team
texasgoldrush's now shilling on reddit, still parroting the anti-mistery bullshit kek
>>550954806What is that guys deal. I actually remember him from the Mass Effect days. He must have been doing this for ages.
>>550954293I guess that makes sense, and I see that D9 is just going one way. So who will talk about the game. No one will be left.
>>550957190Likely they had already some material prepared, but you would still need a coordinated effort to put it out as a marketing campaign. Can't see that happening if they are all a step out the door
>>550956175Only explaination I could give here is they are a certified contrarian to the media they supposedly care about. But I've only seen them appear only after DE came out, never in all the prior games
Why isn't she the protagonist? Why does Dontnod hate money?
>>550966308Next one I hope. She is so damn fine. She would be one fine bisexual queen as the MC in the next game.
>>550966308Next time if we get one, you'll have to play as a late 40s or early 50s bitter Dylan who's keeping the Mikaelsen ranch alive. Dunno how it would work as a MC
>>550954806Based. Tell him to come here too, unc
>>550877882based
>>550982361yep, that ship has worn out absolutely everyone over the past decade
>>550982816Is this AI or new gooner stuff?
>>550983945Daz port
>>550984190I ain't buying
>>550985151seek help, schizo
>>550751548>>550754781>>550754937>made me check if they added Chloe on an updatefuck you, niggers
>>550987536My man
>>550985151No way I'm spending this subscription for that
>>550988856It's free schizo
>>550988164
>>550987536haha, suck shit, chlorefag
chloetards and priceshitters are stuck in the pastwhy cant they move on?
>>550990735Pretty hard to do if you've made it your personality and identity for the better part of 10 years. The echochambers certainly didn't help; idiots in good company and all that. Goes for any fandom but these guys in particular are so poisoned by their own irony it's become their lifeblood.
>>550990735Life‑failures. Usually the type to hinge their whole existence on nostalgia - not even real or lived stuff, but made‑up crap like ships, fictional characters, etc
>>550991873>>550991937Your here all the time. Are you even capable of seeing the irony. You need to move out from your parents and touch grass.
>>550954806basedalso, you seethe, keno
>>550991873>>550991937no, some unique cases like mirracz exist. dude touched LiS1 for the first time last year at like 37, and now he's pumping out endless walls of cringe teen‑brain essays 24/7
>>550994963retroactive shitfielder lmao
>>550991937>>550991873>>550994963DEfenders always talk the same and always about Pricefielders, sometimes even more than they do themselves>>550992310That would require them to have a functioning brain that isn't spite poisoned, which they truly can't
>>550996570>DEfendersObsessed
>>551001297Lucy makes it seem this is their last of work at SE London since that annoucement of layoffs and studio closure in early November
>>550911269It's not like off‑topic games get much discussion here. One person just spams a few LR pics every now and then and that's it. And as for the franchise games and DE in particular, only one clown still seething, just happens to be the one making threads. Everyone else doesn't care anymore
>>551022628>One person just spams a few LR pics every now and then and that's it>one clown still seething, just happens to be the one making threadsit's the same one
>>550995685Kek
>>551060586Kek, that polack cuck might start seething
>>551022628There was the Lake anon at some point here, they said that game was comfy but I'm not really into delivery stuff simulators to try it out
>>551001297Well we knew they would lose their jobs sooner than later
>>551079171Losing your job close to the Christmas holidays sucks regardless
>>551063972I only wanted to try it for the visual style
>>551088898Heh it does look more closer to Sims that LiS to be honest
Bananon, I'm calling from the Abyss for sweet Dylan feet pics
>texts have no timestampwhy is D9 such a bunch of lazy hacks
>>551098441So, flirting or not. I mean it looks pretty harmless. But considering Max's fear of Chloe and Victoria it's a bit sus.
>>551098441They had timestamps in True Colors and BtS, this is just a consequence of DE being rewritten god knows how many times
Can you help Dylan with her groceries?
>>551093735N0
>>551103689Explain this then
>>551104239I ain't doing any more
>>551105802
Boop
>>551119130
>>551098441Just like with avatars of some of the characters from the first game, you also lack the brains to realize this was intentional
>>551119130no
>>551141259The previous D9 games had timestamps in their texts, I don't think it takes a rocket science to understand DE had a shitty dev cycle and rushed things out the door rather than some deeper meaning behind
>>551098441I'm so tired to see Victoria dragged in those dumb gay crackships
>>551171518The Chasemarsh ship is quite stupid anyway, why would even Kate want to get in a relationship with her former bully?
>>551171518There's one character in LiS who's actually bi and who has a erotic magazine about women in her room and she's never mentioned
>>551158245yes
>>551171925Severe retardation on the shippers mainly which is of course a requirement for fanfiction. I've also never seen a plausible explanation for it happening except for the two of them suddenly becoming gay and using the enemies becoming lovers trope as justification. I don't think I've ever seen one where Victoria, humbled by David's rescue, goes to Kate to apologize, works on her narcissistic traits with Kate where she becomes a better person and then working in the gay nonsense which shouldn't even be a thing and makes the both of them worse off.
>>551174329you're asking too much from a regular shipper brain
>>551174329The bully and victim trope is something it never sat down well, and for LiS1 it makes even less sense. But I'm not too bothered when you learn there are people who unironically ship Max with Nathan or Jefferson lmao
>>551174329There are some fan fiction stories like that. But it's true that most ignore the bullying or Victoria's personality
>>551102584So god damn hot
Any Dylan fan stories that are worth reading?
Has anyone ever figured out what Kate did while she was drugged, or why something so random would go viral?
>>551185067It wasn't random, it was purposefully spread by Victoria and her clique against Kate
>>551185067If I remember right, just some stuff that belied her Christian image e.g. partied too hard, kissed some guys etc. it's left to your imagination. Also yeah like that anon said, it was spread around by Victoria and possibly the other vortex club members. Jefferson probably played a part as well to prolong her suffering, you know he loves that shit.
What the fuck was her problem
>>551185067she outright tells Max she made out with some guys, but who knows how far she went
>>551186595She's kind of a petty bitch. She's not a nice person. Most of her fans would hate her irl.
>>551186595Queen Stacy
Do people think that the next game will win people over? I don't think so.
>>551189872I don't think it will apart from the mentally ill DE fans, but they will consume slop no matter what
>>551185854It seems more likely she was given one of those rape date drugs and then used by the local jocks, until Nathan pulled her out to the Dark Room session
Not gonna lie, I have known real life cases of girls getting abused while they were drunk and it's really hard for me to empathize with them. Those girls tend to be really dumb.
>>551193752
>>551166090They're deliberately not shown
>>551191138>Oh I'm sure it will win y'all over if they bring Chloe back and make it look like she's the love of Max's life and she's always been. Y'all are too easily impressed and it shows lol
>>551186595to be fair, she deleted that video soon after Kate jumped/got saved
>>551199714deleted it from the internet?
>>551201015Why did she do it...
>>551201830Empowering

It's almost Christmas. If anyone who was at London or LA is here. Give us a Christmas gift.
Waiter, waiter, this picture with Nora and Swann please!
>>551211208There was some anon who said to have went to the London event, who knows if they'll ever reveald what they played. They said they wouldn't have been surprised if the game was canned at some point tho
>>551211208Too soon to celebrate Pisces.
>>551214147I like it, so it will be done
>>551219789another attempt at bait like the fake hydra codename?
>>551222204that one fake leakanon who had lisg eat out of their palm was so funny
>>551201015deleted it from her smartphone, she didn't upload it anywhere
>>551227332Hard to blame him, desperate shippers will swallow any shit. Would be dumb not to exploit that
Haven't replayed LIS 1 in almost 4 yearsHopefully when I start the game again, I will experience LIS-induced depression like the first time
wake up sleepyhead
