Back in Action editionPrevious thread: >>555319548 >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!

>>556274808you seethe
>>556274041I'm gonna miss comfy winter Caledon
>>556274884The only one who's still seething is you
>>556275359you seethe
>>556275346Caledon is soulless, winter or summer it will be forgetten soon enoguh
>>556275504you seethe
>>556274218OTP
>>556275346for some reason, autumn Caledon doesn't feel nearly as comfy or impressive as the winter version. i hope they polish the visuals by launch, if that's actually the issue here>>556276914true
>>556278391>i hope they polish the visuals by launch, if that's actually the issue hereOh silly anon
>>556278391>i hope they polish the visuals by launch, if that's actually the issue hereI hope so too. It looks good imo, but it's overly bright during the day time, too "bloomy". Sundown isn't any better atm, it looks too orange. It could be better. Plus, the place is undergoing repairs so some of the comfiness factor is out which is a shame.
>>556279148You know there's not going to be a massive graphical overal and polish. What you saw is what you are going to get, and beside Caledon cannot beat the peak LiS1 campus atmosphere
>>556279872you seethe
>>556279148pretty much
>>556279970the only one seething is you anon
>>556281534you seethe
>>556281491Soulless as fuck
>>556281635you seethe
I recently had dreams about LiS Reunion, two nights in a row. And that I was playing it. I don't remember what was the plot in the dream, I only remember one part where Max and Chloe were inside a house and you had to find some documents and avoid the detection (because, iirc, some people thought Chloe did something bad and you had to find proof that it wasn't her). There was also some weird stuff with the cult at the beginning of the chapter I didn't finish.Both of those dreams had something in common - that Reunion got leaked before the official release date, I downloaded it (played 4 chapters out of 5) and that I was discussing it in these threads, lol.
>>556281491Winter>
>>556283203Very interesting anon, maybe its a prophetic sign or maybe you'll end up with a far more interesting plotline than the game
>>556293021Oh fuck.The Caledon fire is tied all the way back."Fire blinds us, just like darkness. But darkness blinds with absence. With loss. Fire blinds with beauty. But sometimes there's a greater beauty yet to come. Fire is jealous, Chloe. It wants all the beauty for itself. That's why you need to be careful."
>>556293568>Fire is jealous, Chloe. It wants all the beauty for itself.Amanda started the fire cause she was jealous and wanted Max for herself confirmed
>>556298789That would be top tier, to actually link it back to the time when people thought Chloe had prophetic dreams.
Rewind.
bump
>>556325645Arrr
Another one bites the duts
>>556334203pricefielders killed the franchiserapid animals
>>556334203you seethe
>>556336221that's what you get when you don't respect player choices and alienate half of your loyal customers
>>556337459you seethe
>pricefielders killed the franchisewerent your argunments how the franchise was going on anyway? looking foward to SE doubling down on PFs because they realized too late this is their biggest customer demographic
>>556336221It's a total monkey's paw situation for them. Every time they seethe and moan, they get exactly what they asked for, but in the most scuffed and low-effort way possible. They never learn
>>556342808this. They should just give up and have let the franchise die the natural death it was headed towards with True Colors and not bought into the DE nostalgiabait
>>556342808>>556343157Fuck off shitters!!! The franchise is soul once again and DE is forgiven because our fave is back! Now go back to your slop whatever it is because LiS has never been slop! Chloe's necklace theory!
>>556344136>when the line between baiting and actual mental illness is non-existent
>>556345309/lisg/ in the last three years
>>556299705It can happen since Zimmerman was a writer on BtS and they were pushing the Chloe's dreams as a way to handle her trauma following the death of William
>>556344136>Chloe's necklace theory!
>>556347967let that sink inmost of the scenes with Amanda are going to be Chloe playable sections
>>556350437or they just cherry-picked the footage to avoid triggering a meltdown from the schizo shippers
>>556355247maybe, but they wouldn't have said that Amanda and Vinh are now going to be be treated in the same manner as Chloe was in Double Exposure, a couple of branching conversations and thats it
>>556359185You're seething too hard to even understand anon's point, carry on
>>556360038>seethingThey cherry picked the footage to not show this game is going to be short as fuck, not that there are other romance options
>>556360870you seethe
>>556355247There's basically zero footage of actual scenes between them in that stream. It's all just bar interactions. The only real scene we've seen is from the promo screenshots
>>556363439Which is also another bar interaction
>>556347967>Chloe's necklace theory!
>>556368856you seethe
>>556368856Kino
They backtracked hard
>>556374475You can't make even a game like this in a year, especially not from concept to gold. They're just claiming they started the month after DE launched to save face
>>556375940It's a linkedin of a dev, but in reality they probably scrapped or reused whatever they were working on DE2 to just have more Chloe and Pricefield scenes in it
>>556376759Off the chart Seething going on over at the usual.
>>556376974Why are they spoiling everything ???? Like let people have theories... This is soo wrong. They are so afraid of backlash that they make sure that people will not be disappointed playing it.
>>556376759>>556376974Thank god for that>>556377157Lol>>556377359Lmao
>>556377848They're really just pushing how Max and Chloe based it is. I'm amazed they haven't outright said only Chloe is romanceable.Oh.
>>556377359>comparable lenght>ticking-clock tension>full lenght cinematic experienceThat doesn't raise any suspicion at all
>>556378180They kinda did already, if you read in between the lines
>>556378180This game is just gonna be a good fanfiction for Pricefield's fan but cleary not a good Life is Strange and certainly not a good sequel.
KEK, they're in total damage control. This slop is literally dead on arrival. It's over
>Chloe has made this journey aloneIzzie's not in the game and definitely not a romance option for Chloe kek
>>556377219boooo no fun
>>556377219Theu got backlash after teasing Chloe "maybe/maybe not" in DE so now they're outright saying Rachel isn't in the game, lol.
>>556381012Nobody cares about her anyway
>>556381012They should just ignore these theories.This is the proof that this game is just there to please fans who were disappointed by DE and to win back their love for the franchise/for the D9 studio and keep these fans for their next games.
>>556382735We are going to see the TV show before any new LiS games post Reunion
>>556379739AI slop is getting very good those days
>>556375940I don't think it was made entirely from scratch starting in December 2024, but I wouldn't be surprised if Reunion was heavily rewritten to the point that you could say it was conception if you bend the truth slightly. We know they had a lot of unused environments from Caledon, which would simplify things significantly. The fire probably also existed in some capacity as well, based on some background dialog in DE. It's likely most or all of the Chloe stuff is completely new, though.
>>556377848I'm actually glad because the Rachel theories are stupid. It would way fucking over-complicate the story.
>>556378739>certainly not a good sequelSo perfectly in line with BTS and DE.
>>556384939BTS was good for Chloe's backstory at least.
>>556383337It is.
>>556383405Reunion's Steam page first appeared on the backend in September of 2023, and in April of that same year they started development on the project. Its fair to say they probably rewrote DE2 and the fire storyline into Reunion with a lot more Chloe focus than originally planned
>>556385662It really is a plagiarism machine
>>556386324I have a feeling Steph will be the next character they try to make the face of the series. Arguably they already have.
>>556386926nobody cares about her
>>556386926They already tried with True Colors and the Steph novel, it didn't work even if they were well received. And to be honest, there's not going to be a next LiS game made by D9 anytime soon
>>556376759>>556376974>>556377157>>556377219>>556377359>no returning cast>no rachel (no matter how stupid a theory it is)what the FUCK is the story going to be aboutabracas is a nothingburgersafi / lucas / maya book deal is concluded (?)safi xmen plot seems to be abandoned
>>556404051Hannah Hellerton back from the grave pulling the strings
>>556404051They're going to make Abraxas interesting or die trying.
>>556410310Are they going to finally reveal how she died or is it still going to remain mystery
>>556404051It's all about Owen Teller.He's related to Samuel Everett and Amy Brandt.Occult psychos.Powers are linked to astronomy.
>>556423085Nobody cares about those persons
>>556404051That's the problem, the whole new cast/plot is annoying. Who care about Diamond ? Abraxas ? Loretta ? Who care about Caledon on fire ? Sofia cannot save this game on her own. This game is gonna be so flat.
>>556452636you seethe
the game could be about doing laundry and doing taxes and pricefielders would still buy it
>>556455372Sales are gonna be embarrassing anyway
>>556459180Max should be smaller, in the trailer she barely reaches Chloe for a cup on the cheek
>>556461624you seethe
>>556461624lmao
>Every day on set, we both poured our hearts out and truly felt it all. I cannot wait to share our performances with you.Lmao, I swear to god, this is the most pathetic and embarrassing marketing campaign I've ever seen in my life
>>556463102They don't have much to sell the game because nobody cares about the other returning DE characters or the fire thing
>>556463291you seethe
>>556463102It'll do. The shippers are the only target audience left, and they don't give a shit about the plot or the setting anyway. They'll eat up any slop as long as their ship is in it.
As someone who's been here on and off since 2016 it's surreal to me that /lisg/ seemingly isn't a Pricefield-dominated general anymore. As recent as 2020 this was unthinkable, like 50% of the general at the time was dedicated solely to denouncing the long-dead Amberprice Legion
>>556464094Amberprice legions have been long dead, but their influence has shifted to the lonley shitposters who prop up Amanda or Vinh
>>556464094grim. deranged shippers will stay deranged.
>>556464201you seethe
>>556463728Unironically, I'd rather listen to Amanda's stand-up set or go investigating with Loretta. My stance on pissfield hasn't changed in 10 years - I still give zero shits about her. We're staying friends and she can fuck off wherever she wants. Only thing I regret is that Caledon looks like mid compared to the winter version. It is what it is
the true intellects btw
>>556464548you are part of the audience that SE was banking on DE being a success, which means you are irrelevant
>>556467271you seethe
>>556466268Only a true intellect could find something worse than shitfield
>>556468091Amand-tards and Vinh-homos got that well handled
>>556468484you seethe

The DE characters will be iconic whether you want them to or not.
>>556476278iconic failures
>>556476278>iconiclmao

>>556479002you seethe
>>556478467>>556479257bot replies
>>556476278True, true. But go easy on them, anon. They already pivoted from 'we're never seeing those characters again' to 'welcome to Caledon, muh Clhoe' in just a year. They still have plenty of humiliating chapters ahead of them
>>556479671You are talking to yourself anon
>>556479835Tag both next time, you seem overly concerned
>>556476278They're a great cast for sure
>>556483186so great they have to shill pricefield to sell the game
>>556485358you seethe
>>556479671I'm excited for the inevitable seethe and discourse the show will bring.
>>556485879pretty low IQ to stay awake only for how much "seethe" a media will bring to a group desu
>>556491053So true, pissfield bro. I mean, why would anyone want to enjoy a free clownshow with daily circus acts?
>>556492175there's better things to do in life
>>556491053There's a common type of guy online who doesn't actually like anything. They just want everyone else to be as miserable as they are.
>>556492668dunno, everyone here is pretty comfy except for the seething pricefielders. but if people want to enjoy the game while watching the fandom's mental collapse, that's their business. it's just part of the experience
>>556492668And using them for your enjoyment makes you a miserable person too
>>556494539Trust me, I do not enjoy your presence.
>>556494679Too bad
Are the "you seethe" posts one guy?
>>556511584hes been doing it for an year and a half now
>>556479671>we're never seeing those characters againand all you had to do was follow samantha or ashlynn
>>556511584naturally. DE attracted the most mentally ill posters
>>556517823you seethe
I want Victoria to make me seethe
>>556520325You seethe.
I just started Direct Exposure for the first time.Why is it when I tell Safi I'm not interest in Amanda, the game launches into a half hour objective fetch quest to gather information to better chat up Amanda who I am not attracted to?Is this a bug?
>>556523536I don't think you have to do any of it. It's mostly just for achievements.
>>556523831>>achievements>I play games to win>I don't play to be a lesbian who is forced to be a lesbian when I just told the game I wasn't a lesbian, thereby losing because the outcome wasn't what I was intendingThis cannot be
>>556514516who tf is ashlynn
>>556523536nomax still needs to practice her pick up lines and learn about amanda regardless
>>556523536Because the developer intends you to romance Amanda regardless. Do not worry, it won't matter because you broke up with her at the end and next game Chloe is Max's soulmate again
>>556526021>This action will have consequencesDroppedI hope rest of the series fails
>>556526086kek
