Maximum Victory editionPrevious thread: >>>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 [Embed]>/lis/ sings:Obstacleshttps://web.archive.org/web/20200324102651/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjPsOkijFh0Glass Wallshttps://www.mediafire.com/file/1y584yhvq5p2y35/Glass+walls+lisg+edition.mp3No Belowhttps://www.mediafire.com/file/cpi79dyuahemkd4/Lisg+sings+no+below+all+v.mp3Discussion 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!
With Reunion's added information, do we still believe Steph and Alex have freakier sex than Max and Chloe?

>purchase pic related at my local book store to support them>cashier gives me a disgusted look and doesn't talk back to meDid this happen to anyone else? I'm feeling very upset about it :/
>>561743709you must have met some kind of literature snob for doing that
I will never forgive the managers and directors at Square and D9 for what they did to LiS. I would have gladly taken DE for what it was if they could have kept their grubby paws off it and let the writers and designers and actual artists do their fucking job. This too, sycophantic and reactionary as it is, good or bad, is their fault. They're a bunch of retarded cunts who contribute nothing to the world, fuck em.>>561743514Cute Kat!!
>>561744034What a fucking bitch cunt whore. I'm just going to buy from Amazon in future then, I'm sure my wife Steph will understand.
>>561744458We shouldn't worry too much about them anymore. Those are the last days of Lucy working for SE too, right?
>>561742808Absolutely. Alex sits on Steph's face nightlyhttps://www.twitch.tv/katybentz/clip/PreciousLovelyBurritoSoonerLater-c5iHMeAa7MTwPt9R
Did you dedicate a poop to Max today?
>>561749334oh yes, it was really messy
bruh
>>561749940>we have no budget left for an ending montage and neither proper renders
>>561749940What the fuck is that?
>>561749334I'm making a ytp where max leaves chloe for safi if that counts
>>561751030lmao
Safi says she "loves" Max at least twice in the game and even used the word in comparison to Chloe's feelings and she still isn't a romance option? What?
>>561744458DE shouldn't even have starred Max.
>>561754763I'm a safifag but there is no way the relationship would've worked in the actual game. It's way too unhealthyAnd these games having more than one serious love interest has been a massive failure. >>561754119 being the best example
>>561755161Lost Records didn't waste 30 million dollars at leastalso Snora best couple
>>561755249I try not to give it too much attention, but I'm sure I saw something about a 13m euro writedown because of Lost Records
>>561755813A 10 mil budget is reasonable for the scope of the project, as costs of western game development have increased since 2015
This one seems weirdly lopsided
>>561757369Was it Moses's kettle all along?
>>561757369The big world shattering mystery that warranted the return of Max and Chloe was a fucking accident?
>>561758424>>561758678Safi pretends to be Max to get Chloe to run away with her during a manic episode and when Chloe sees through it, Safi changes back and starts villain monologuing at her then pulls both of them into the shadow realm, which causes Safi's freshly lit cigarette to fall into a wastebasket of chemical-soaked paper. So not exactly an accident.
>>561756312sure, assuming you actually recoup more than 1/10th of that. even DE managed to claw back more than a third of its budget
>>561759002I wouldn't have guessed him but the game had a big "BTW ITS VINH" message for me lol
Also Vinhfags BTFO
God I do not care for any characters introduced after LiS2. They're not memorable or interesting at all.
>>561759210>Skip
>>561759250It's a post-gameplay sequence, technically part of the menu
>>561759363No I mean>Skip
>>561759165>boomer energy
>>561759165I like the DE/RE characters. We had a lot of fun memeing about them, unlike the TC characters
>>561759660Did I ask for your opinion?
>>561750976Great work anon
>>561759660I like how generic they made Vinh in Reunion, he's pretty much a nothingburger of a character and nobody cares if he die anyway
>>561759924
fuck amanda
>>561761094god, I wish. she's so hot
>>561761254Those tight jeans are doing god's work, honestly
>>561762270holy sex
>>561762270Is that a stain? Did this nasty bitch wet herself?
UUU bros, do your thing. we need those jeans shots from all angles. we need to salvage at least something from this slop
>>561764103Is she farting?
>>561742837What was that sequence trying to say? I gave Max the photo, then this picture of Chloe lying alone on the bed showed up (Max left Chloe to go back to Caledon?), then the next picture was Max in a place that looked like the Caledon overlook (she went back through the photo again?) and the last picture was Max and Chloe kissing (they're together again?)
what the hell amanda
>>561766649ffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucccckkkkkkkkkkk
>>561766649My babygirl <3
the main menu music is so fucking chill I can listen to it while I'm doing other shit
>>561767564Shafted hard you gooner
>you failed to stop the Admin Building Fire>you failed to stop the Abraxas House Fire>you weren't able to learn the truth about the Observatory FireHow did I fail so miserably lmao. One thing I know I failed the backtalk with Ren which made me blame Joey. But I have no idea how to stop Vinh (although I correctly pinpointed Vinh as the suspect).
>>561770753Apparently you have to catch Vinh at the Abraxas party to stop the fire from happening
>>561770753Most people are failing that scenario it seems, I did it without rewind at all, just act like an adult
>>561771414How do you get that?
>>561771414>just act like an adultWhich is physically impossible for the target audience of this game
It's weird how Max and Chloe are supposed to be Adults, yet seem no different from the students. They really should have added another 5-10 years onto their ages.
>>561771154is he the guy with the sledgehammer? I interacted with everybody at the party and still didn't see Vinh there
>>561773595I wonder if the photo montage was an afterthought. Surely the depicted scenes should have been animated. the Lighthouse Kiss would have been a wonderful end credits final scene.
>>561772991He didn't look like him at all
>>561766294Here's the full montage of that ending. I heard there's also a version where Max burns the photo herself, but I don't know what determines that. Perhaps depends on who survived so she doesn't feel pressured to try to save them? I have no idea.
>>561760232Every character in Reunion is a nothingburger, including the main ones. From a pure writing standpoint, this is easily the weakest entry in the entire franchise.
>>561761094Yes, I think Max and Chloe should.
>>561771842I don't know the full logic gate to get Max to tail Vihn to the Abraxas house but if you want to stop him from blowing up the box of bones and himself you have to be empathetic and serious about the situation, not petty, blaming and vindictive.
>tfw you trust Max and give her the photo at the end>she goes back anyway:(
>>561775773>Max burns the photo herself, but I don't know what determines thatThat only happens if you give Max the photo after you manage to save everyone from the fire
>>561777783>situationHow does it work? It confused me because some character choices are easier to get like how to have Safi alive. However none of the conversations you have outside of the bigger choices seems to have large impact anyway
>>561772829It's just the writing
finished, 6/10 overall.I got the "Couldn't stop the fire" ending though was able to save everyone (except Vihn/Owen), which imo I am okay with, I feel that Caledon was at a tipping point and the Fire needed to happen to reset everyone's anger and frustration.the VA was great for all the characters, the script was ehh and the overall story was ehh. I believe actually the only well-written parts were Chloe's.the actual game felt quite rushed and more like a movie game, which I didn't hate but was disappointed in the lack of things to do/interact with.I also feel the way they've written Max in DE/RE does tread too far from how DontNod invisioned her.in one aspect, this game does achieve giving Chloe/Max (I chose kiss) a happy ending that felt somewhat natural, but at the cost of hollowing out all the other characters and even parts of Chloe/Max.even though D9 said this is the finale for Max/Chloe, I don't think their story is even close to being wrapped up. I hope Square Enix considers doing another LiS with them, I feel there's so much they can do now with them being back together, and Diamonds message to Max
>>561778061Search me, boyo. I just did it on instinct.
>>561778143They should feel free to give us another Chloe game where she's a gallivanting shithead getting into trouble, maybe even set in an AU. Or a cameo in some other series. I just love my girl.
>>561776642it’s wild how a game that’s 100% pricefield fan service still leaves you feeling like it would’ve actually been better with all these throuples instead. the missed potential is insane
>>561777796And she gets the ultimate happy ending anyway so not really a sad finale
>>561778143>I hope Square Enix considers doing another LiS with them, I feel there's so much they can do now with them being back together, and Diamonds message to MaxRetarded slop guzzler, you are the reason we got this piece of shit instead of a good game
>>561777796Based Max
how horny is their sex?
>>561779724Then what was your excuse for the piece of shit prior game made to spite that same anon?
Wowzers...
>>561779724Nah, you're the reason. Buying Square's LiS2 Slop, TC slop & DE Slop
>>561777783>I don't know the full logic gate to get Max to tail Vihn to the Abraxas houseI checked that part on youtube and it looks like you have to correctly guess that Vinh will start the fire, then later Max should go to the Abraxas house. She will meet Vinh there, who's preparing to blow things up.Which is weird because I correctly guessed Vinh and had the evidence pointing at him, yet Max didn't go anywhere to stop him... The scene with Vinh didn't show up for me at all. But maybe it's because in my game Ren started the fire at the university, Max saw that and got distracted.So well, I correctly guessed 1 out of 2 suspects yet both fires still happened. Imo you should be able to stop 1 fire if you pinpointed 1 suspect.
>>561727937Not reading any of the thread to avoid spoilers but dropping in right now to add some thoughts:>Made it up through Max and Chloe's reunion discussion on Saturday morning>Noticing the game has a lot of graphical glitches, fucked up facerigging on Owen and Yasmin stood out to me. Characters besides Max also get very jittery when getting extreme close-ups, like the game thinks they're offscreen.>The DE characters seem charming so far, I actually really enjoy what I've seen of Amanda so far. If I end up liking how this all turns out I may give DE a shot in the future to see some more of her. Moses is also really well-performed, buttery smooth voice good lord. I spit my fucking drink out finding an ASMR podcast that brought him on>Noticing there's almost no background convos like TC had, I miss those a lot they made that game so charming and filled out Haven Springs. >Same with very little social media going on, just text >Rhianna is killing it as older Chloe>Like that you can steer Max and Chloe's dynamic, reminds me of the mechanic in Divinity Original Sin>Soundtrack is divine, need it in my veins. >I currently have no fucking clue what starts the fire. Best guess right now is somebody connected to Owen, but he doesn't strike me as the culprit.>Rachel's theory is that it's Abraxas starting the fires as revenge against Owen.Hopefully get time to play more tomorrow.
>>561779249True
>>561782441>AI slop
How is the breakup letter handled? A full adult conversation, or a one line sort of dismissal?
>>561783024see, even ai does better than the d9 hacks
>>561783384Semi dismissed and never truly aknowledged, Chloe goes to fully trust Max with her powers too
>>561766649why would anyone choose a lanklet over all that
>>561784269It’s physically impossible to justify
>>561782098I guess you have to nail it as Chloe and Max
>>561784269Tall girls are better
>>561786497They’re the same height, if I’m not mistaken
>>561784269The want for a male dynamic without admitting what they actually want is a man.
>>561786840Chloe is 5'10" aint no way
What I want to know is, there appears to be a fully modern modeled Life is Strange 1 Chloe on the ground in her first scene. Is that a playable rigged model or a static object?
>>561788239Probably just the bonus outfit model.
>>561788519Nah, I was using that, this is the Remake model with seemingly even better modeling.
>>561788132>Chloe is 5'10"She’s canonically 5'9" (175cm) since that’s her mocap actress’s height in the first game, iirc. Looking at their shared scenes in Reunion, it feels like Amanda is maybe an inch shorter. Plus picrel
>>561793374>>561793735
>>561794892Amanda really is a midget in front of based Chloe
>>561795747>girl over 170 cm>midgetpost hand, faggot
>>561794892easily two inches
>>561793735I loved that line
>>561793735what face she's making while saying that?
>>561796198did I triggered you?
>>561796243The problem is Safi is canonically 5'8" (173cm), and Amanda feels like she’s the same height or even a bit taller. So either they fumbled Chloe’s canon height with this new model and made her taller, or we need a better way to measure this
>>561798067I told you Chloe is 5'10" and you just shrugged it off
>>561797096
>>561798935Ok, visually it checks out then.But has this info changed over time? I distinctly remember some Don’tNod dev interview from like 10 years ago where he said they dolid‘t even bother with it and just used the mocap actresses' heights as a baseline and called it a day
>>561797179your manletry? hardly, anon
>>561742641How come the shippers won’t even include Reunion in the OP considering it’s everything they asked for?
>>561799908pwned
>>561775773I got Pics 3 and 4. Nice
>>561800532just when i thought people were actually discussing the lore instead of fighting, here you come. how's it going, pedale?
>>561800387the OP is still seething, please understand
>>561777851I saved everyone but I burned the photo, fuck that shit
Does Obstacles play at all during the game?
>>561798973Kek, based Amanda
>>561801860Nope, only Spanish Sahara and Piano Fire
>>561804084ok
>>561804084I didn't even hear Spanish Sahara, where was it? I only recognized Piano Fire
>>561742641
>>561804342Spanish Sahara plays if you killed Chloe in LiS1
>>561805139The bingo card for OP's entire personality?
The game seems to have good word of mouth
ARE WE THERE YET
>>561788825Don't get excited anon. If you do anything with that model, we will know you're a massive pedo
>>561806140Because good word of mouth worked so well for Lost Records kek
>>561807692Lost Records was boring, and no one talked about the story
>>561809878Yeah, because everyone is strictly discussing the story in Reunion
Theres a not a great deal of actual.. game here. I enjoyed our girls finally getting the ending they deserve, but it was very much on rails.
>>561810710Notice how all the posting is Pricefield fawning and nothing about the actual story
was that Custodian a /lisg/ self-insert??
>>561810730>our girls finally getting the ending they deserveThe ending is just as underwhelming as that observatory kiss
>>561810730They got that years ago in the comics
>>561811765Yes, which were arguably a better ending, but at least now it's in the main series too.
>>561806848I just want to see if it's playable
>>561811003Am I supposed to care about these two niggas? The only interesting part was Safi and the shadow realm, which sadly got limited to just her and Chloe being quantum entangled.
If you ask me Max should have been bursting blood vessels in her whole face to keep Chloe alive, her eyes, her gums, everything
it honestly seems to feel better if Chloe returns from the dead, tahn just reuniting after a breakup. Like the universe throwing Max a bone.
Imagine if the universe brought Rachel back into the picture too and she was there as a firestarter wildcard you had to talk down along with Safi, freaked the fuck out because she's been dead for 10 and a half years.
Lmao, and people actually called DE soulless? What the hell did I just play?! Reunion is pure unadulterated slop.Absolute disaster
>>561816114They are both soulless
>>561816114It facilitates Pricefield. It is what the important part of the fanbase has sought for a decade.
>>561816740cope
Here's the slides if you're a big dick winner
>>561742808What do you mean by “added information?”
>>561818702She hates being there
>>561820164And that's why the right choice is burning it as Chloe. She's right, Max has to let someone else do the saving sometimes.
>>561820225Am I retarded, is this AI, because when I tried to kiss on the boat it fucking tipped over and I went for holding hands. Did I get cucked?
>>561820296This scene wasn't in the game (unfortunately), don't worry. This is either AI or fanart.In the game if you trip over and rewind 2 times trying to kiss her, Max will decide by herself to hold her hand.
I live near the Oregon coast but I have never played Life is Strange. What am I missing?
I really thought this would go up over the weekend—Saturday is almost over...The reviews are ridiculously positive, but could it be that only that portion desperate for fan service bought this mess? How will that translate into the future of D9 and the franchise?
>>561820918I both envy and pity you. It's my dream to live on the PNW coast because it's one of the most naturally gorgeous places in the western hemisphere, but the sheer amount of homelessness and drug use is disturbing. At least from what I have heard.
Anyone got the better version of the kiss where Max talks about "looking for a perfect moment" then Chloe talks to her during the kiss? I have no idea what determines that.https://youtu.be/OD9JIjOhpJc?is=qzaRUmDYc_Klax2k
>>561775773
>>561822276keep seething
>>561822276Kek, based
>>561822456>AmandaXMax is a dead and buried ship>Pricefield is more alive than ever
>>561822276Who would've thought that Max and Amanda's kiss would forever remain the best and most passionate one in the entire franchise?!
>>561821662>How will that translate into the future of D9 and the franchise?The games and D9 have been done since they pulled the plug on the London studios
>>561822276
>>561822874Go ahead and rethink that for me..Alex and Steph’s kiss is superior to theirs.
>>561822874Truth. Besides that, the mocap is actually solid, and the lighting is god-tier - you’ve got that direct muted light on one face and rim lighting on the other. The cinematography. Not to mention it’s literally longer than all three of those shitty Pricefield kisses combined.
>>561823369
>>561823716yeah, it's insane how much more effort went into that than the Pricefield fanservice
>>561823716>>561824067No matter how much you cope, Amanda is shafted hard and Chloe is the true Max soulmate
>>561824341>ditches Amanda for Chloe anyway

>>561786967Trvth nvke. Lesbians are a meme
>>561822276Poor Max, threw it all away just to live from sofa to sofa and motel to motel again.
>>561823716What a loser you are. There is only one canon pairing. Pricefield
>>561839831This. I have no idea what they were thinking giving her such a bleak and railroaded ending
>>561822874Why are you pushing this lie this hard. its the Chenrich kiss that's the best in the franchise
>>561842661Right? It was one of the causes of their strife in the first place. It's poignant that the only way they can live and be together is living a lifestyle the other one hated. Under that "No, this is what I always wanted" mask is someone clawing to get out. It's just a continuation of their LiS 2 misery and is the biggest fuck you to pricefielders and it's sad they can't see it.
Lol, Diamond was swept under the rug because of that tease of her having powers which became a completely scrapped plot point. She was only mentioned by Safi from a phone call.
>>561815847this is whats gonna happen next game dont worry
>>561820296you saw how gay the other kiss was and legit thought the first kiss would be more romantic???>>561844692not entirely true but also yeah the writers basically said fuck everything aboutthe story and making choices in the last games, hella cringe
>>561844692I kinda wanted to see LiS Avengers. Mainly to laugh at it.
>>561849664Thank god they shafted it and went full Pricefield ahead
Well?
>>561851101Painful as it is, Sacrifice Max so she can finally be free.
>>561851101I always wished the first game had an ending where max gets shot instead
>>561851101Both
What were Safi's motives again?
>>561852401She was experiencing the same nightmares and visions Chloe was. About being dead, about Max killing her, about a storm destroying everything, and she wanted it to stop.
>>561844692>black woman main character scrapped in favor of white woman because of death threats from shippersWow Pricefielders are so racist
>>561854936Yeah, don't fuck with us
>>561843321I'm unironically starting to lean towards that, because I have no other way to explain this garbage ending
>>561843321>>561860778DEfags are seething hard lmaoThe strife is literally shoved under the rug and Chloe now 100% trusty of Max's rewind
>>561843321The thing is, the game kept doubling down on the same theme as the previous one — all about finding your place in life. Both MCs literally talk about it the whole time. Then the ending just trashes the entire point. But like someone mentioned, looking at how scuffed that post-game montage is, the ending was clearly a rushed job done at the last minute. So who knows.
>>561861552They cut and stiched together what was the original idea for DE2. It's the Whedon cut of Justice League
>>561860425>tattoo on the wrong arm>tranny shark>yaoi proportions
>>561862514It shows in so many places. The Caledon protest arc is a total mess - Amanda's dialogue and some of the object descriptions reference stuff that was clearly cut. Still doesn't explain the ending, though. Even if it was one of the original ideas, why railroad the entire game into this one shitty conclusion?
>>561861552>>561862514>>561863957feels like they might pull a Prince of Persia 2008 and sell an actual epilogue DLC later down the line or director's cut.
>>561863957>why railroad the entire game into this one shitty conclusion?Because you wanted Pricefield.
>>561863957Because Square both went back on its previous demands and now insisted Chloe be brought back, and ALSO cut their budget and laid off a ton of staff making that harder to actually do.Don't get me wrong D9 still holds a huge portion of blame for HOW they wrote Chloe out in DE, but they were left in an almost unworkable situation because they did what Square wanted, only for Square to realize way too late it was a terrible idea and snap its fingers demanding a 180.
>>561863957sending Max back to square one in a game that's supposed to be pricefield bait... you actually have to try to fumble that hard. kek.
>>561861552>>561863957>Max claims Caledon is her home THREE separate times during the game>Chloe has a whole moment feeling out of place because she sees how stable and fulfilled Max's life is>The game literally explores Max's impact through a student's perspective for the first timeThis ending is rushed garbage and they clearly never intended to ship it. It doesn't just contradict the previous games, it guts the entire point of this one. It's pure thematic whiplash
>>561868668Chloe > Caledon. They realized their hamfisted attempt to write her out in DE was retarded and they undid it. Fuck you Amandafag.
I didn't even realize the new game was out already.Cash grab or worth playing?
>>561868668Because it's a sacrifice Max ending, kek
>>561870021It's essentialy a write your own Pricefield fanfic with the ability to kill off most of the DE cast. It's magnificent.
>>561870984>with the ability to kill off most of the DE castOh thank god.I will spare Loretta, and maybe Amanda.

So yeah there would be "so much" to do as a teacher without the school. And didn't Yasmin tell her she will always have a home at Caledon anyway? Nobody even knows when the school will rebuild and reopen.

>>561871705>Why would she want to stay there if the school is damaged and closed?>Nobody even knows when the school will rebuild and reopenIf you play your cards right, only the observatory burns down. Max says herself that it's just a building, they can easily rebuild it>At least now she has a job as a band photographerThe thing is, she was already way more than just a photographer. For the first time, people's lives actually depended on her - not because of her powers, but because of who she is as a professional and a person. And they just threw that away
>>561864716The writer for the small prequel comic hinted she might do a follow up comic with Max and Chloe post Reunion>>561865550Spot on, there's multiple devs like Aysha Farah saying SE made them rewrote the story four times already, it was a complete inconsistent mess and fumble by SE London

>>561885179Max should've taken the triple relationship deal between her, Chloe, and Safi.Safi is a baddie, Chloe is a baddie, Max would be in heaven
It's laughable how Reunion is actually more of a detective game with people to accuse after finding evidence, the DE was when that was actually marketed as being a murder mystery.
moses was the best thing to come out of double exposure and reunion
>>561893616He’s just a boring-ass teddy bear
>>561891824Safi and Chloe should’ve fucked and left Max’s whiny ass in the dust
>>561891824reason enough not to ship her with Max, honestly
So the franchise is (understandably) being shelved now?I've been thinking the whole weekend and I don't see a single direction it can be taken.For better or worse, I enjoyed my time with all of you so much, /lisg/, 11 fucking years, holy fucking shit. I was here, man, I was here posting in LiS1 episode discussions... I even remember talking to Qtori hereWe're going to slowly fall apart in the coming months I imagine, goodbye to all of you while I can still say it to you.
>>561895850We fell apart when DE came out. I had some good years here. The TV show is coming soon. Hopefully a new generation will find /lisg/
>>561895850It can continue easy enough, just step away from the Arcadia bay question that has hung over it from the start.There are two upcoming books, a TV show, and likely more to follow.
>>561892226It's a sloppy detective game but at least it's something that just Max did it
>>561888416The series is going to be shelved gaming wise, the books are the last gifts from SE London and the TV show has been in the making for ages>It can continue easy enoughSE will fumble it
>>561889735
>>561897015We get the books and comics as a last gift from SE London because they were planned in advance, but the intentions from Japan are clear and we won't have any new games for a while.
>>561897473ew
>>561897473look at this dood
how was i supposed to glean that vihn was going to blow himself up like a retard
>>561898289go figure
>>561880004>Amanda is safe regardless of what you doMan, I can already see our resident schizo seething over this. She's been living rent-free in his head for two years and now she stays safe no matter what, lol
>>561898945They already are. "Pricefield this, Pricefield that" kek.
why were reggie and vihn written like such gay ass retard dorksboth in DE and Rreggie especiallyi could not take abraxas seriously for a single minute
>>561899448Felt like most of the DE characters were just used to read a script rather than actually be characters. DE Vinh was dislikeable, but at least had a bit of personality.I look forward to when the truth about what happened following the reception to DE actually arrives.
>>561897606If sales are strong enough, we're getting another Pricefield game. Might as well start bracing yourself now.
>>561900028We deserve a full feature length documentary on the development of DE and Reunion.
>>561900739I’d rather die than that happening
>>561901603Then prepare to die.

lost records bros...............
so did d9 just outright forget about Alex and Steph? Another game with them would be cool to see, unless they broke up or something.
>>561837426Meanwhile angry lesbians
i wish i had an irl friend who was into these sort of games
>>561904696True Colors from what we've been able to tell turned a profit, but Square wanted more from it, so they pushed for a return to Max. But for reasons we may never know in full, it came with the bizarre stipulation that Chloe must be permanently pushed out of the games, and we all know how that went over.
>>561775773i got this ending and it feels fucking horribleim just going to pretend that this is a cheeky allegory for starting a new game which will be the perfect playthrough, and not a fucking conclusionbut obviously i dont have the time for that shit and the magic is already goneyoutube "perfect lis:reunion ending" here i comefuck
>>561906042Strange…
>Destroyed the photo at Arcadia Bay because Max and Chloe will move forward with their choices together>Destroyed the photo at Caledon because Max and Chloe will move forward with their choices togetherWackity shmackity doo
>>561905410hi
>>561904297Sorry I been meditating
Is the "Time Fatigue" thing I've seen mentioned in a couple of places actually a thing? Like using rewind too much will lock you out of an ending.
>>561908064Its AI slop, D9 could never implement a similar mechanic even if they tried it.
>>561905171>be a lesbian in a Life is Strange game
I like how it went from the first game where it's a weird mystery how Max has time travel powers, to now where everyone just accepts she can alter the fabric of reality, and nobody has ever come after her for the X-Files or whatever.
The speed that this thread is moving despite a new mainline LiS game coming out 3 days ago tells me everything I need to know about if it's worth playing.
>>561908657It's the same story across all socials. It takes like two minutes to catch up on everything they've been rehashing for the past 24 hours.
>>561909164When the original game and the sequel came out these threads were hitting bump limit constantly. If not even the fans wants to talk about the game then it's not worth playing.
>>561908657I think it's another case of full game at once leaving nothing to speculate on. That and it's a fairly on rails budget title to see Max and Chloe off to a happy ending. Theres no way this was what they planned for DE2.
>>561909513>When the original game and the sequel came out these threads were hitting bump limit constantlyKek, back when DE dropped, threads were hitting the bump limit in like 2.5 to 3 hours tops
>>561909724At least DE had controversy to fuel drama of the threads. Reunion is boring and predictable, designed solely for Pricefieldfags.
Just to be clear, there's no poop in this game, right?
>>561909936This. Controversy is the only thing that drives engagement. The moment you give people exactly what they've been begging for — and then some — they just lose interest>>561910165>there's no poop in this game, right?Nope. In DE, that word pops up once, and even then it's just in a podcast segment
>>561910995It needs more than "controversy." Controversy is what killed it in the first place. There was too much negativity after DE, eventually people get burned out by shit like that. There are posters who want to make other people miserable, which discourages real discussion.
>>561912498>There are posters who want to make other people miserablethat's exactly what pricefielders have been doing for 10 years. they spent a decade gatekeeping and trying to nuke every other opinion from orbit. they got so obsessed with it that by the time they finally got a game made for them, everyone else had already left. that's why it's so dead here and on socials
>>561909936That's too bad. I'm not a pricefag, and chloe is dead as far as I'm concerned, and she serves the story better that way.
>>561910165The game itself is the poop if anything
>>561887341
>>561913389ew
>>561913295trvke
>>561913348Sacrifice Chloe is clearly the better ending of the two in the LiS.
Final ranking of the games2 > 1 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> before the storm >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> reunion > double exposure > true colorsEverything aside from 1 and 2 are shit though however before the storm is a masterpiece compared to the last three releases which is why it’s still ranked highly above the last three. franchise should’ve been canned after 2, true colors is my least favorite because while double exposure and reunion were awful too at least I wasn’t bored the whole time playing
>>561909724Does it genuinely change the game by starting from a Bae / Bay choice? Or is it a couple of dialogue bits?
>>561920467I have a lot more hate for BTS than TC just because it fucks with the story of 1 too much. TC is just a poorly planned nothing of a game, but at least it isn't detrimental to a game I actually like.
>>561919817You don't have to tell me.The entire story is built to enforce that decision while still appreciating the weight of it. BAE is literally just a bad story (made far worse by DE, but it's also just bad on it's own), but at least it makes some shippers happy I guess.In a weird sort of way though the fact that the option is available makes BAY more meaningful though, so I still appreciate that it exists, even if I would never take it.
>>561884983>>561913389So that's why their faces are weird in the end slide, it's from the concept art.
>>561924874Before the storm isn’t a great game (though episode 2 was good) but it’s significantly better than true colors, I think true colors is the worst because it was so boringI haven’t played before the storm in a really long time but I don’t remember it messing with 1’s story that much except if Chloe gets expelled that doesn’t match the timeline of the first
>>561920467Based and wolf-pilled
>>561927814 the best game imo, it’s underrated and gets too much hate just because it was the first game that didn’t have someone from the original as a protagonist and I also felt it was the best in making your choices matter
>>561908458I was really disappointed that S2 pussied out on doing this. The ending should have been extremely dark when it became clear Daniel had powers>ummm uhhh well something happened so let's just throw the older one in prison for 15 years or put an ankle monitor on the younger onewas a cop out. It should've been so dire that being turned into underground lab rats forever was an ending
>>561926202I never liked bay because the concept of fixing the effects of time travel with more time travel doesn't make any fucking sense. It should only make the storm worse if it's all the cumulative effect of Max rewinding. I know it's not supposed to be hard sci-fi, but it's stupid as fuck.And if one of the messages of the game is that Max should accept the consequences of her actions, bae is more consistent with that as well since bay supposedly undoes everything. Are we living with the results or are we changing the past and hoping it will be better? It can't be both.
>>561933204Bayfags just hate Chloe
>>561933458They're not the ones who broke up with herSad that this might be one of the final bae vs bay arguments here
>My guilty pleasure tumblr video game franchise had a more kino conclusion than Chainsaw Man What a weird timeline.
>>561941848There's nothing kino about FlopunionAnd Chainsaw Man was normie bullshit anyways

trvke
This guy looks like a 40 years old Warren Graham
>>561899326I, for one, want Chloe and Max to fuck Amanda at the same time.
>>561946453
>>561946453me too, but Chloe & Rachel
>>561944980Lmao true
>>561944768Stop coping. Without the review-bombing, DE's rating would be 80 too. But who cares? Look at the engagement, the dead socials, and the peak player count - it barely beat TC and couldn't even top DE (which had a staggered release). Nobody cares about Pricefield. Shippers are a loud minority that can tank a rating, but they can't drive actual sales.
>>561947554>review bombing DE wqs bad enough on its own to deserve that rating
>>561946680You lost amandafag
>>561947774nta, but keep seething
>>561947708It's not good', but it's way above this garbage rating. If I weren't so lazy, I'd scrape the reviews just to trash the Pricefielders' scores and see the actual consensus.
>>561948096cope. you lost DEfag, shit game = shit rating
>>561933204>It should only make the storm worse if it's all the cumulative effect of Max rewinding.That's the beauty of it, it's not. The writers forgot the rules of the time travel mechanism that they set. They couldn't decide which time travel movie to rip off, wrote themselves into a corner and decided to give the players endings where none of choices affected anything while insulting their intelligence saying "Oh it was always about how your Max reacted to Chloe and their relationship".
>>561948213keep seething, pedale
>>561944980He only looks like him in screenshots. The moment he opens his mouth, the resemblance evaporates>>561946680She's a nice girl, but she would definitely be down
>>561948247>The writers forgot the rules of the time travel mechanism that they set.It was a deliberate choice, because instead of Chloe dying she was going to be in a coma at the end of LiS1. It's not like they wrote themselves into a corner, they choose what they felt was a stronger emotional ending in spite of breaking the rules established in the story>"Oh it was always about how your Max reacted to Chloe and their relationship"But thats what LiS1 was, the story was conceived with Max and Chloe inspired by that french graphic novel, to pretend otherwise is to be a massive tool
>>561823158They could've kissed in the lake. It would be a great pool parallel.
>>561954043You should be thankful they managed to squeeze that low-effort jank onto the stairs at all given the limitations
>>561953137I'm sorry that you still believe all that.
>>561882414When I first saw a screenshot of her saying that, I thought "There's no fucking way she said that, the text must be photoshopped". Then later I found a video and finally believed.
>>561886192What is she even referring to?
Hey so what happened to that cop in DE
>>561958730Not mentioned.
>>561958758So.. Max has the power to blip someone out of existence entirely and nobody mentions it or cares?
>>561958952Don't think about it
>>561958730Poofed from existence - it's in the chats with Moses. Was supposed to return in Ch5 during Max's nightmare (still in the files), but got cut due to budget reasons
>>561958952He was erased from time entirely, so technically, it never happened, and there's nothing for anyone to talk about.
>>561958730>>561958952iirc, he only existed in the split timelines
>>561959617What does that mean
>>561959298This
>>561958730sidelined for a shittier character with green hair unfortunately
>>561953137Only the 'Max' was the one to die in the graphic novel
>>561960104Unironically, it's true. Cop was top-tier charismatic
This is still true.
>>561957345Amanda's titsu
>>561958730>>561958952Reunion was only made to cater to shippers. Pls understand
>>561964285Looking at that absolute joke of a kiss scene and the bleak-ass ending, I'm not so sure anymore
There goes your "best score since the original"
>>561972473>d-doesn't m-matter w-we got the pricefield ending we d-deserved
>>561961875It really does suck how bad D9 is with their general aesthetics and design choices. It's so low-effort. If SE does make another LiS game, I hope they pick a dev studio with better artistic sensibilities.
>>561973009Especially since dontnod made lost records, which still goes in the same overall direction that d9 tries to go in, more of a high fidelity realism look but still stylized. But LR actually looks good, and DE/Reunion does not.
>>561973009I think DE Max is the best design D9 made, but that's a low bar.
>>561973223Michel Koch was like an art director on Don'tNod first game, Remember Me. Say what you want about the man, but he's super consistent about the artistic flairs and style of the games he worked on
>>561973765>DE Loretta* is the best design D9 madeftfy
>>561974059Loretta is peak, I hope she comes back in the next game
>>561974059Hate it if you want, but it fits hag!Max
>>561974013Yeah, well that's what happens when you have the artistic vision in decision making positions, and not some guy who went to school for 6 years specifically to learn how to remove any artistic flare from every company and homogenize everything into the exact same thing.If I could arrest and gulag every single person with an MBA or more than halfway through the pipeline to get one (including undergrad), I would.I'll give a little leeway to those not too far into the pipeline, but past halfway you know you are specifically training to be evil and if you continue past that point you have failed the test.
>>561974250Thas a very specific comparison, who are you referring to?
>>561974148>the next gameReunion was just that, anon
>>561974594I don't know enough about any individual at D9 to know if it applies completely. Companies all get ruined by MBAs at some point. D9 as far as I can tell was a for-hire studio that just does whatever a publisher wants. That's inherently soulless and just makes the thing a publisher tells them to. Many such cases, I don't mean to single out D9 they are just relevant here.Nobody with an interest in making something goes >I'm going to make a videogame development studio!Oh? Cool, what's the game you want to make?>Idk, whatever SE pays me to make, who cares?
>>561974148Nobody from DE is ever coming back in a meaningful way.
>>561974148Honestly wished they released a set of episodes from her podcast as a lead-up to DE/Reunion or as bonus side content. They could've done so much.
Tell me if I'll like Reunion based on this criticism I have of DE:LiS1 (stories in general) have 4 levels of characters. main cast, secondary, tertiary, and total-npcMax and Chloe, obviously main cast, maybe some others like jefferson might be included just because of story importance.Victoria, kate, joyce, david, are secondariesThe other class mates, dana, alyssa, Victoria's friends/vortex club people, the principal are tertiaryand then total npcs like the random people with a few bits of dialogue.DE skips the secondary characters entierly. almost every character that should have been a secondary got the tertiary treatment. So you end up with somebody like Amanda, who should be a strong secondary, with barely more content or characterization than Dana, an obvious tertiary.It really flattens everything and makes the world seem less interesting.
>>561976532Reunion is even worse on this angle, you have tertiary and total-NPCs being put as secondary character roles
>>561976532only the Custodian has any real story, everyone else is just background
>>561980737Figured as much.>>561980895Are you talking about the slow custodian in LiS1, or a custodian in Reunion? I'm assuming the latter?
>>561798973Does Chloe have Pepis?
it's... it's over...the end...
>>561976532The DE/Reunion characters arent notable like the ones on the original game anyway. No LiS after it has managed to achieve that. All the characters have been forgettable.
>>561976532>Amanda, who should be a strong secondary, with barely more content or characterization than Dana, an obvious tertiary.Massive stretch. My initial Amanda profile was literally 1.4k words after just one run. Didn't even dive into the indigenous angle or the local crap yet. The doc is way larger now. You won't find even a fraction of that wordcount for Dana
>>561988278You are lying
>>561988045They said once Farewell was the last time we saw Max and Chloe, and here we are now
>>561988331I'm not. And since we're done with the games anyway, I'm probably gonna do something with all this info
>>561988489Regardless of how well Reunion does Deck Nine is gone now and will never be reconstituted. Double Exposure made the franchise a toxic asset.
>>561988846LiS can just be handled by a different company.
>>561989047I want Fromsoft to take it over.
>Under 40k copies sold during launch weekend (pre-orders included).>Peak CCU (8,111) is lower than Double Exposure.>Ranked #37 on Steam Top Sellers only 4 days after launch.>Twitch is a ghost town: 553 average viewers and a 19.5 viewer ratio.>Google Trends is flatlining: Search interest is barely 25% of what Double Exposure had.>Social media engagement is basically non-existent.It's over
>>561988045https://youtu.be/Rw7cCB7v5W4?si=4O1t3Ysfierqmf-Y
Reunion honeymoon is over
>>561991638In this case the honeymoon phase was just reviewers not having finished it because they didn't give out early review copies.
>>561991424Grim>>561972473>>561991638Now that actual reviews are dropping instead of target audience slop. I heard SE finally woke up and started pushing ads today. Idk what they're even expecting, there's literally nothing in it for the average player
>>561991424holy grimola
So if you pick the romance option from DE, Max confirms they actually dated for a while between DE and RE before breaking up? So they basically canonized a relationship that happened off-screen after the DE?
Put her in, coach.She's ready for her sequel.
>>561991424this was so avoidableso fucking avoidableall you had to do was tell that chloe was away on business in DE, instead of a retarded breakup plotno one would be disappointed and your reputation wouldnt be ruinedyou could even go ahead with your avengers plot and be just fucking dandy, just fine
>>561992613>nothing in it for the average playerThis. Nobody is going to pick up the 6th game in a series on a whim. It's for people who have followed the entire thing, with the possibility to attract people who maybe only played the first game.And to think of all the stupid bullshit they did in the run up to DE. Suspect profile videos, a TTRPG session that lasted two videos and never continued etc. I eagerly await a ladydevheart type who spills the beans on just how badly they pivoted away from plans.
>>561994187I love Alex, but I don't want her in needless sequels. Let her have her happy life with Steph in Haven Springs
>>561996056I just want something that tells us she’s doing well.
>>561996421The annoying thing is that the comics gave them a happy ending, but were set in a bizarro amberprice universe with a dead Max and Steph being depressed about Kate. They even went back to Haven and gave Ryan a Girlfriend.
>>561996421You already got your answers in TC you slop guzzler
>>561996674A happy ending for them but at what cost
>>561996721and i will continue to enjoy my slop.
>>561994597I think their logic was that they needed Max to be equally sad in both, they just didn't count on the fans hating it as much as they did. I do think most of the blame belongs to SE in mandating that Chloe not be in the sequel, but it's still bizarrely out of touch to be so negative on her. If they absolutely needed a breakup, it should have been more mutual so there's blame to go around instead of piling it all on Chloe.A new protagonist might have still bombed, but it would have been significantly less bad for the brand.
>>561997172And then said breakup is barely touched upon in Reunion. It's player choice to give a reason, or just say it doesnt matter anymore.
>>561991424>Deck Nine's Life Is Strange: Reunion has debuted at No 11 in the UK sales chart -- across all platforms -- for the week ending 28th March. >It ranked at No 6 for the PlayStation 5 sales charts and it was No 3 for Xbox Series X|S.>It did not feature in the top 20 for PC.How do you explain this?
>>561999226grim
>>561999226Hasn't the series always sold better on consoles than PC? I don't think it's too unexpected based on past performance.
>>561999458Is it a flop or not?
My friend told me that there’s a collectible for Max that’s a statue of Alex that happened to be altered? Does anyone here have a picture of it?
>>562000506I haven't seen that yet but there is a statue at the Turtle you can bid on that's made by Charlotte, which sounds like it could be what they mean put through a game of telephone.
Lost Records is a better game than Reunion.
>>562000771I think that’s the one, it was mentioned that instead of Alex’s bird it was switched for a heart lol, got my attention. Thank you!
>>561991424>>561994597I am not surprised at all that it's selling worse than Double Exposure. Before DE, they were baiting fans "Do you want to know if Chloe is there too? Check it out :)" and people were also very excited to see Max again after 10 years (possibly with Chloe, which obviously doubled the hype).Then many people got disappointed and they aren't so easy to win over now. Even those who love Pricefield are very careful with this title. Double Exposure also had a new setting, while Reunion recycles the same setting, which may make it less interesting.
>>562000956Based
>>561993185Yeah, that’s exactly what it implies.
>>562000956Agreeable. It's certainly more of a game.I like Reunion but it's a slightly interactive VN.
>>561999226Adnan already shared that, just like on PC, it’s lower than DE—and DE was a failure, so…And don’t start with the “Reunion was cheaper” argument, because both shitty games were part of the same project. Given the lack of promotion Reunion had, it’s obvious they expected the idea of a sequel to DE and Chloe’s return to be enough to bring in more numbers—they failed.
>>562004213Holy cope
>>562004507Let me guess, that Kev guy thinks the most important thing about LiS is Chloe and Max being together?
>>562004507
>>561991424>>562004213Amandabros, why did you do it?! why did you tank the sales?
>>562005543They're not real fans.
Max and Chloe got back together. Is there anything left for this franchise for anyone to be interested in or for it to do?
>>562004507The 'blame DE' shit is so cute. You had one major gripe with DE, they fixed it. What's the issue now, fags? Where’s your 'mighty army' at?
>>562006470
I'm not buying Reunion because I'm boycotting UE5. Sorry d9, develop an in-house engine.
>>562008146Infamous like game with Daniel that follows the Lone Wolf ending.
Should have given you the option to re-romance Amanda and Vihn, and also make Safi romancible. Just making it Chloe feels too much like a desperate apology.
>>562008919Should have gotten the option to have D9 employee show up at your house and lobotomize you so that you lose your memories of playing the first game, and let you play that again.
It's time to make a Kate game.
>>562008919Spot on. Choices are a meme anyway in this game, but this would've added some much-needed variety. Safi is a lot of work, but Amanda is literally just one extra ending scene and it's done. The romance was already there from the last game
>>562008778Control Resonant is gonna be your thing then, LiS, well, Dontnod's LiSs are mor about narrative than game mechanics.
>>562009361>Safi is a lot of workToxic yuri with a dash of "I can fix her". That would be the angle and appeal.
>>562009361>Amanda is literally just one extra ending scene and it's doneThey could've just reused kissu mocap. It was kino
Spinoff where all the best LiS characters hang out over the internet to play Dungeons and Dragons so 66% of the game takes place in the imagined D&D world and 33% is just hanging out in the real world eating pizza or whatever
>>562010628best kiss ever
>>562010706But who are the best LiS characters?
>>561991424>the game isn't selling very well>me who pirated the game
I don't think a lot of people even know Reunion exists.
>>562010914Guess that's what happens when you mix a passionate, experienced lesbian woman with a dorky art-whore
>>562010628Keep coping about the ship that canoically broke because Amanda was scared of Max powers
>>561882414How do you get this?
>>562010628Kino>>562011493Same shit with DE. It sold exactly as much as the engagement suggested it would. Reunion's engagement was even lower though
>>562011621I think it's the Chloe died but you fall for eachother again path. In the Romance and Survived path Max tells Chloe she loves her at this point.
>>562011535and it hella rocks
No matter how many times the game calls Max a teacher, she comes off interchangeable from a student.
>>562008919Too much work, not enough time or budget. You should have bought copies of DE for all your friends and family.
>>562012606I think they do slightly better than in DE with this, but yeah the students needed to be obviously younger, or Max and Chloe Middle aged.
>>562011621People are saying that on the boat you have to try to kiss Chloe only once, then choose to hold hands.I tried to kiss her twice and didn't get this (I didn't get the bonus dialogue during the actual kiss either). That would explain why it's so rare to get, as most of the players probably tried twice too.
>>562010706>>562011169A Blackwell Academy reunion where Steph DMs a game for Mikey, Chloe, Max, Victoria and Kate.Victoria is the main playable character and Kate and Mikey are the romance options.
>>562000956Both are dogshit, stop shilling the non franchise game
>>561991424>>562004213>>562004507>>562008369Projected sales over the last 24h:Reunion - 5-6kDE - 1kLooks like, it's really over
Is Mirror Max in Reunion supposed to be the Alt Max from the Nightmare Two Whales?
Anyone got the new font for the LiS logo? I know the original font is iconic but I'm trying to look for the new one specifically.
>>562016606So it seems
>>562015469That’s what you get for burning bridges with the very people who stood by you after your first mess-up. No sympathy for them this time.Also, Adnan, I’m pissing on your face once again.
is the new game good? i enjoyed the first one and the asian one and i would like to see more
>>562026258
>>562026645what does that mean?
>>562026258You must first brave Double Exposure before you can enjoy Reunion
>>562026258>the asian oneyou should try the latino edition too
>>562027528lol"enjoy" Reunion.yeah... totally.
>>561991424The most conspicuous metric to me is that a new game just released and yet this thread has been up for almost 3 days without even nearing bumplimit. Dire compared to the activity /lisg/ had when I first started coming here
>>562031558A huge amount of people left when DE hit and was a total disaster. A fair amount of the people left posting in the thread at that point didn't even play DE and were just here to shitpost how happy they were that Pricefield fans got fucked over.
>>562035791Judging by the numbers, they aren't even playing Reunion either. Kek
>>562036279Why would they? The devs told them to fuck off, they did, and the game tanked. Some might come back to try out Reunion but plenty simply gave up on the franchise after that level of betrayal, and you can hardly blame them for not spending money on the desperate backpedaling that we now see was done haphazardly on a shoestring budget as a last-minute rewrite.
The intended direction for this franchise was more overtly turning it into X-Men but lamer. This was the better outcome.
>>561991424Give it a year or two, Reunion will sell more than DE. But the series is dead.
>>562050256>a year or twoSE don't work like that
>>562050256It literally doesn't matter - a bit more, a bit less, who cares. It was supposed to be a massive bounce-back to prove the previous flop was just an anomaly. DE only made back like a third of its budget, it needed to sell 3x more just to break even. Even if Reunion is cheaper and manages to stay in the green, it changes absolutely nothing in the long run
It's time to admit they should have kept on with original ideas instead of trying to bring Max (and Chloe) back. The next game should have been an original MC with perhaps a TC character (Ethan, Riley, Mac or Izzie) as a prominent side character
>>562051314no, they should’ve tightened the gameplay and mechanics like everyone told them, and fixed the massive pacing drop-off in the final act, just like with DE. instead, they blew their remaining budget on shipper pandering. well, here’s the result.
>>562051753Nah dude, they were fucked from DE. Terrible plot, boring characters. Literally only relies on nostalgiabait, has nothing to do with shippers.
>>562052384>Terrible plot, boring characters.Reunion has the same rot because they fixed nothing. people don’t buy games with zero gameplay and zero mechanics that only exist for shipper pandering. at best, they just watch it on youtube and move on
>>562026645Hahahahaha oh man
>>562052931of course it has the same rot. It's built upon the cancer that is DE, which relies on nostalgia bait. And the only solution they could think of was to combine Max' nostalgia bait with even more nostalgia bait by adding Chloe
It would have been so easy to quit after DE's low reception, pander exclusively to shippers or make a bad sequel altogether, but none of that happened, so it is a decent work done I would say even if RE is not a huge success.
>>562055397>pander exclusively to shippers or make a bad sequel altogether, but none of that happenedThat is exactly what happened
>>562055397If I would have listened 4chan, I would kill franchise with DE, but instead we had a happy ending where you can save everyone and choose your preferred romance option for Max which is infinity better than giving into cynicism and canning the series into gutter.
>>562056096They could have done it awkwardly and badly by abandoning Caledon and disrespecting the Max wishes for wanting to stay there at the end of DE, so no, things could have turned out even worse.
>>562056183There’s no happy ending in this, and you don’t even get to pick a romance — it’s just one forced option and that’s it. Which was literally one of the biggest gripes people had with DE, though at least there they were actual 'options' you could actually opt-out of
Sucks that porn of 30 year old Max isn't more popular
>>562056449>disrespecting the Max wishes for wanting to stay there at the end of DEShe leaves Caledon with Chloe no matter what
https://old.reddit.com/r/lifeisstrange/comments/1s8f5pn/re_a_detail_were_not_talking_about/cut content?
>>562059680Judging by the bleak-ass ending they cooked up, she’s gonna want to crawl back there pretty damn soon.
>he didn't have Chloe burn the photo
>>562062985I didn't even notice it's the same day as Max's birthday
>>562064101he meant she's gonna hop in the car and drive straight back to her normal life
>>561898289During the Abraxas party, I attacked the guy as Chloe, he dropped a piece of evidence (a blueprint). Then during the conversation with Yasmin, you have to use rewind to get the correct dialogue options. Then the option to suspect Vinh was highlighted for me.
>>562064059Cope and seethe
>>562064059How long do you think it'll take for her to start reminiscing about scissoring Amanda in a warm bed at Hellerton house while she's shivering in that rusty-ass cold van?
>>562067573In your mind, maybe. The people who wrote Amanda have all left D9
>>562067573Does Reunion ever mention the whole Polaroid timeline?
>>562067573Literally the moment they started driving away from Caledon
>>562068353I doubt it. Why?
>>562067573The Amanda poster. How sad your life must be now.
>>562068772Literally
>>562069147
>>562067573If anything, she was thinking of fucking Chloe while being with Amanda>Chloe: oh, so you were thinking of me the whole time you were with her>Max: that's not what I meant, but... sure
>>562068868No, it doesn’t mention it. But Reunion explicitly states that Max lived with or dated her DE romance interest during the gap, provided you picked that option.
>>562068353It never mentions it, and it literally doesn't matter at all
>>562070094Based of Deck Nine to have both leave Max offscreen, totally realistic
>>562069147kek Max
>>562068353The only reference to it so far is she still has some of the polaroid photos from there. Might have to dig deeper though.
>>562068353>>562070129What is the "polaroid timeline"?
>>562070327Some collectable polaroids that had a supposedly important "third timeline". Completely irrelevant in Reunion and never mentioned again
>>562070327A parallel timeline in DE, only shown through collectible Polaroids. It basically shows how things would've gone down if Max never used her powers.
>>562070535>>562070547Oh ok, thanks
>>562070547Totally cut from Reunion and irrelevant
>>562070697why are you so ass-blasted about this? another anon already told you that if you flag the romance in Reunion, it literally means Max was living and fucking with them between the games
>>562051314Time to admit? Everyone has been saying that since DE came out.
>>562057572Be the change you want to see in the world.
>>562070997Keep coping
I see they rolled back everyone being aware of Max's powers by collective amnesia.
>>562079432The collective amnesia extends to the D9 developers.
>>562070220Amanda can wind up still having romantic feelings for Max, whatever that means. The relationship ended largely because Max apparently can't into not being emotionally distant.

>even the poopposter gave up when the game turned out to be too shitty for him
>>562064059I can’t wait for the next cash grab in 10 years where Chloe and Max divorce and Max moves away and has a midlife crisis
>>562085425They're never breaking those bitches up after what happened last time they tried.
Do you think Reunion is going to sell better than True Colors even?
>>562088850Maybe in the long term, but True Colors had better launch sales and actual advertising. I wouldn't put money on it, though. Being a direct sequel to a game that sold worse than TC is a bad place to start from.
>>562090905Whadya think of those numbers? >>561999226
>>562091781Yeah, I said I wouldn't bet money on it.But also, TC sold less than a million copies, so the number isn't that crazy, either.
So with the merging of timelines... does LIS2 never happen?
>>562096665Don't think about it.
>>562097227Does Steph leave Arcadia Bay even nothing happens there? Does she never meet Alex?
>>562096665Everything after LiS 1 is now in a state of flux until they decide to address it i.e choose which parts actually happened if at all. But as of now, nothing seemingly changed. Maybe the prequel comic and the upcoming book hints at stuff that happened? I don't think anyone has actually read the prequel comic.
Reunion retroactively improves Double Exposure.
>>562098319From a 6/10 to a 9/10.
>>562098319Not by much
>>562098209>the prequel comicI did, it shows Max visiting New York with her agent Hazel and Chloe leaving Izzie with the band to get back to Caledon, both yearning for each other. Nothing outside of Max and Chloe is addressed
So is a Diamond game actually plausible? The easily missable phonecall at the end of Reunion suggests so. But even in DE she's practically a background NPC.
>>562098959
>>562099138Reunion is a closure for the series, at least for now. If you watched Adnan the next D9 game is some Unity project in mixed reality, not LiS related
Lmao look at this clown. A couple of months ago he was all smug on Twitter about how MUH CHLOE was gonna steal all the screentime from the DE cast. Now he's crying like a bitch over the abysmal sales and putting all the blame on DE
>>562101638
Just finished it. Saved everyone. Biggest smile on my face. The girls get their happy ever after at last. This is what /lisg/ has been asking for, more or less, for a decade. Where is everyone?
>>562079559Idk how much it depends on your dialogue choices, but in my run, she said something like she hit a point where she either had to tell Amanda about her powers and ruin her happiness, or just keep lying. And she felt like both options were a lose-lose. Which is fair, honestly
>>562096665no one cares about the mexicans
>>562106863Hey at least they got a sold reference in Reunion.

>>5621068631 and 2 are the only ones I care about.
Am I right in thinking the DE characters were really rather diluted versions of themselves this time?
>>562108246they couldn't even give the main characters any real depth, so what can we even expect from the supporting cast?
>>562108246That's like saying>this water is too diluted. I think somebody put DISTILLED water in with it!
Loretta Rice sex desu
>>562110173This but Amanda

>>562110514turning amanda thomas bisexual
>>562096665Didn't it just effect Chloe because of the Storm.
>>562099138They really want a Diamond game, but it's not gonna happen. Fans don't care about her. You have a better chance at getting a Moses game.
>>562110634Loretta can fucking die, D9 fans are truly in another level of retardation
>>562110634>Rachel theories come back
>>562106205>D9 retcons their Caledon characters learning about Max's powers at the end of DEAnd they said DE and Reunion were developed at the same time
>>562108246Moses was mostly the same, but he's like the human equivalent of a teddy bear so not that hard to write. Vinh has been chemically castrated tho
>>562110514I am BEGGING the virtual photographers... >>562111594Unironically, the Diamond bait somehow worked. On social media, the mystery of why she was missing despite those hints at her powers is probably the number one question, second only to why there were no other love interests
>>562112360And Safi is just there because she's supposed to be iconic or something. Amanda seemed to have been forcefully given a backseat for Pricefield to prosper.
>>562112691D9 is done, so how can we even get a Diamond game now?
>>562107275tf is this weeb shit?
>>562113226D9 is going to make a vr game next, so they aren't gone yetbut surely no future lis game from them
How come Moses is into fake animes and shit and not one of the real animes and shit that Square Enix has.
>>562113397>Max and Chloe tag-team blowjob VRbased
>>562113416Because Moses thinks those suck.
>>562113416Also, why Max isn't into anime and shit herself? In LIS1 she watched Full Metal Alchemist and Spirits WIthin as mentioning mangas reading with Chloe
They're dodgy with pairing Safi with Max because they want to pair Safi with Diamond for HER game (never happening).
>>562113062Amanda was clearly supposed to be a major part of the anti-Caledon protest route, especially with her clashing with townies over the bar and restoration methods. You can even tell from the wrap-up dialogues. But the entire middle act of the investigation was gutted to the bone, so we’re just left with endless yap sessions with Moses or Lucas.As for what they did with Safi, I’m still trying to wrap my head around it. No clue what the point even was. Maybe exactly what you wrote, honestly.
>>562113881Max outgrew it, obviously.
Finally some contenthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpEq1_S36u0
>>562113976>LucasThis is still the most baffling element. Why give this guy sceen time over literally anyone else?
>>562114158I like Katy Bentz and Steph, but it's always a little cringe when somebody latches onto a character they were hired to play the way she has.
>>562114043>outgrew>"I'll never understand anime"
>>562114853They needed someone who had a bone to pick with Caledon personally. It's fucking hilarious that he outright admits that he prefers teaching high schoolers because they're easier to groom.
>>562114862You mean like with Hannah and Max?
>>562114949She now denies her weeb phase.
>>562115187He's like Jefferson, but just a pretentious asshole instead of also being a killer.
>>562115367Maybe? I mean Katy literally dresses like steph all the time. At least Hannah is the main character of the series. Steph is a side character who appears in 2 (?) games.Like, ashly burch did not take on the persona of chloe when she easily could have in the same way.
>>562114853They didn't want to risk bringing Gwen and having a troon barbecue
>>562114158Ha! Is this the material they didn't use to promote DE?
>>562115853Ashly was already somewhat known when she was cast as Chloe. Steph is like the first ever named character that Katy had the opportunity to play.
Now I'm even more curious as to what was shown at those Events in London and LA.
>>562117828a glimpse of what could’ve been a good game, but wasn’t
>>562113062>Amanda seemed to have been forcefully given a backseat for Pricefield to prosper.They should've gone the poly route.
>just bought reunion>chole's voice actress sounds like she's halfway to becoming a gruff voiced grandma who's smoked 4 packs a day for 30 years>max gets a text about a fire on campus in new hampshire when she's visiting new york (daytime)>drives back to "help">she gets there hours later (nighttime) and the fire is still raging >no fire department on scene, just campus security (cops?)>cops standing around while kids are trapped in a burning building >not trying to bust the lock doors or shoot out the windows>cops then fuck off>max tries to open the door and sounds pretty nonchalant about her students literally burning to death>they're somehow still alive when max arrives after hours in a burning building I'm not feeling reunion at all and am thinking about refunding. is it worth playing on?
>>562120181This. It's actually hilarious that the entire game is pure Pricefield pandering, yet the scene with the most subtle gay vibes is literally this one
>>562120714All that is just fluff. You're supposed to play it for Pricefield.
>>562122046Id rather go on Ao3 thank you
>>562120714It does get better, but it is essentially a straight to video sequel.
>>562127746Keep seething
Reunion has the potential to be best game in the series since LIS1. There is a lot of charm but you can tell it is being held back by budget/time issues.
>>562128161Pretty much. The core stuff is great but so many cut corners. Practically no background chatter, no social media app stuff etc. Though the journals were a lot better this time.
>>562128161>has??The game is fucking out already, dude. It might have HAD potential, but it doesn't anymore. It's over, and it was not good.
My girlfriend is fucking furious. How do i calm her down? help! I'm not even joking! I don't understand how shit was supposed to be. But she gets mad at me for going to the next room to advance the plot
>>562128103And it already plummeted to #60 in top sellers from #37 yesterday. Looks like there’s zero long tail for this one.
Did we win?
Pretty sure they just ripped off ideas from the AI Anon from a while back.
>>562129646
>>562130001
>>562128161Most of the good charm is on the Pricefield fanservice, but it has no soul and its been rushed out the door with so little marketing in two months
>>562129161No, there are no winners here. Everyone’s missing something they actually wanted.
>>562130403not gonna life, this is giving Legacy of Kain vibes, which I've put off in favor of this game and have regreted.
>>562130001I remember those.
Okay but if Life is Strange was pitched as an analogue to Legacy of Kain, with Max as Raziel and Chloe as Kain...How would things change?
>>562129646Clearly they missed the best ideas.
>>562130879>Legacy of KainI have no idea what that is supposed to mean, but ialso hope you leave this thread.
>>562128524I say 'has' because I haven't finished it yet. Just wanted to dump my impressions after a few scenes back to back left a big positive impression on me. Hoping it doesn't fall apart like DE did. Didn't read the rest of your post incase of spoilers sorry. Leaving now to avoid spoilers.
>>562132980I haven't played it at all, so don't worry about spoilers from my post. I don't know anything about it other than I'm certain D9 ruined it.
>>562128103That’s what happens when you screw up and then ignore the people who backed you just to pander to the ones throwing a tantrum. Enjoy the losses.
Just finished the game. Where the fuck is Safield? What the fuck do you mean you can't date Safi? Kill yourself D9.
>>562142540Because >>562113884
>>562142540Gutted. Here's backtalk Safi from the files
>>562142540>why?because dicknine devs are retarded thats why they keep making ugly fucking ass love interests. the pretty ones are always not an option while the ugly tranny looking one is
>>562143536Fuck off, Chloe hater
>>562144358Hating Chloe is like the backbone of the entire series.
was LiS 1 a lightning in a bottle situation?
>>562146718I think it's safe to say after 11 years and 6 or 7 games... yes. It very much was.
>>562146718In terms of sales, probably. Quality wise, I think 2 is just as good as 1, though.
>>562147056>Quality wise, I think 2 is just as good as 1
>>562146718Yes, and it should’ve never had a sequel. I thought LiS2 and BtS were alright, but they should’ve stopped after that realistically.
>>562148330BtS had loads of contradictions from the original game, to the point I think the wiki has an entire page dedicated to it.
>>562147373I like 1 more, but 2 is absolutely on the same level.The fact that it has such a bad rep in the community makes no sense to me. It beats the absolute dog shit out of every other game in the series except 1.
>>562147056>>562148632i never thought i'd see people that actually like 2a part of my brain refuses to believe you guys are realhowever, i do think true colors is decentnot good, nor great, just barely above mediocre
>>562148632You have to be mentally declined
why the fuk is max's journal so disgusting looking? even i can make something better on canva
>>562149510She's just a slob, like all women are.
>>562148632The problem is that LiS2 never actually got criticized for its flaws or the jarring shift after LiS1 - that was all background noise. People were just seething because it wasn't about their ship. If it had been Pricefield, they would've swallowed it whole. It's the same with DE/RE: same setting, same cast, same dogshit writing (even worse in case of RE) and disrespect for LiS1 choices. Choices don't matter in either, both are full of plot holes, and the RE romance is even more forced than anything in DE - plus it's the only option, lol. Even the OST is partly recycled. It's literally two parts of the same game, but they hate DE while RE gets glowing reviews. The answer is obvious.
>>562149073When it first came out, I was going to wait until all the episodes were released to buy it, but with all the negativity in the community about it, I decided to skip it. Then it was on sale for like 6 bucks back in December so I said fuck it and ended up really liking it.TC is fine, but it's extremely unpolished and episode 5 is laughably bad.
>>562148483The game was good enough to play, if you don’t think too hard it’s fine. I didn’t like the finale episode, but episode 2 was peak and episode 1 was pretty good.>>562148632Like >>562150290 said LiS2 only got so much hate because it wasn’t about Max and Chloe. I think LiS is the best game of the series, but LiS2 is a close second and is severely underrated. I appreciated that LiS2 did something no other game did, which was having your choices matter towards what ending you get and it wasn’t just a binary ending regardless of what happened in the game.
>>5621486322 surpasses 1 in every aspect except for the music.
>>562150290>>562153602I don't care about Max & Chloe, but you won't get me to play a game about Beaner Brothers
>>562149073what brain? lmao
LiS2 should've been about two sisters.
>>562143536>thats why they keep making ugly fucking ass love interests>meanwhile Steph and Ryan (not counting Chloe because that's not their character)Them being hot was literally one of the main selling points of TC
>>562178530Its a Rileyfag anon. Don't try to argue
>>562178530This was the only game in the series where the love interests were both good.
still can't believe they made Max sticc to Max thicc
>>562131257>I have no idea what that is supposed to meanThis is an 18+ site
>>562182432Anon, the newest Legacy of Kain game came out 23 years ago.
>>562183290The newest came out literally hours agohttps://youtu.be/pumfG8OjXFA?si=Va0YIM4qakTNhn9l
>>562183754Don't care
Should LiS go back to being episodic? I know every studio is terrified of episodic games but for LiS I think it really worked. Even sort of worked for LR.
>>562183290It literally came out yesterday
>>562186567Probably not until they have a wealth of assets they can reuse with no problem to shorten development times between episodes which was one of LiS 2's major mistakes. That is assuming a new game will be completely made from the ground up. Short Captain Fantastic-esque DLCs should be no problem and they can definitely shit out a ton of those if they actually cared to.
>>562183754Bet anon feels stupid af now
>>562192616Nah, I legit never even heard about it. Most recent thing I've heard from the franchise was the remaster from a couple years ago. Did the new one get much promotion?

>>562193445The remaster was last year. Jesus, anon. Keep up. Fucking idiot.
>>562186567If they follow the Dispatch model where the game is done so they can release the episodes weekly, then yes. I think releasing Dispatch episodically really helped them since it kept them in the news and conversation for over a month instead of dropping all at once
Somebody tell me. Does Reunion have a good amount of Loretta? That is the only thing that will make me buy the game.
>>562195346>why her comedy suck ass?t. ratty looking asian with a blue mercedes
>>562195527Yes, and she's heavily implied to be getting BLACKED
>>562195527Yes. She can die though if you dont do things right. Honestly, she's the only character from DE I can actually see getting refrerenced going forward, the investigation angle works.
>>562196138>I can actually see getting refrerenced going forward,She wont be
SEX with LORETTA RICE
>>562196138Is she actually a decent character at all? In DE sh was implied some depth or story involvement but it was never really explored.
>>562150290>It's the same with DE/RE: same setting, same cast, same dogshit writing (even worse in case of RE) and disrespect for LiS1 choices. Choices don't matter in either, both are full of plot holes, and the RE romance is even more forced than anything in DE - plus it's the only option, lol. Even the OST is partly recycled. It's literally two parts of the same game, but they hate DE while RE gets glowing reviews. The answer is obvious.You forgot to mention the assets reused from LiS2 and TC. Shippers were howling about them being in DE, but Reunion has even more and suddenly everyone's quiet, lol
>>562197536She has some podcast episodes in Reunion, but they don't really do much to expand the story beyond what you get, and she doesn't really change from DE
>>562199175Actually at DeckNine they could not have made any more (or any) amazing games.Though maybe he meant if he worked at a different company.
>>562195196Based. I’d unironically rather listen to her entire set than sit through another half-hour of Lucas or Moses droning on.
Why did Don't Nod fuck up Lost Records? All they needed is cute lesbians and a nice supernatural mystery but they fucked it up with the stupid cancer plot, the lame boyfriend villain, and the supernatural part being a wet fart. Seriously, just make the mystery actually interesting with some horror elements and have an actual good villain and it would have been nice.But how the tied in the present day at the bar was nice.
>>562195196To fuck Max
>>562200936
So do we all agree that Max is bisexual that leans towards women
>>562200912I'm still disappointed that the camera never ended up having like a spooky element to it. It seems like a missed opportunity to have gone back and like seen or noticed elements of a video. I kept expecting them to do something clever about it. You're prompted to do those specific recordings of some certain number of things in each area, and they definitely could have had something be relevant and used that feature to ensure the player got x or y on tape. Instead it's just... sometimes shadows appear around the forest or outside of the diner just in your real fpv view, and they mean nothing other than a vague "this area has some kind of ghosts or shadows"
>>562201428You need to understand that Don't Nod has a penchant for making games with an incredible hook and completely fucking it up in execution.
>>562201390Yes
>>562202185I'm aware. You know... I played LiS 1.I still haven't played Remember Me. or some of their other non-LiS games other than Vampyr but I really should.I'm honestly a little surprised they've managed to keep chugging along for so long with LiS being the only real hit they made with everything else being kind of mid at best. Mid in an interesting way at least, but still mid.
so that's it then? reunion is the last game in the series and it's final?that's really grim considering the amount of very obvious budget cuts and awful quality of the gameis the tv show its own thing or something? might watch that slop
>>562202680I played Remember Me and I was super disappointed that the memory modification that they advertised the fuck out of was only done like 3 times in the whole game.
I got banned from the DE subreddit for praising how they dropped half the shit from DE in Reunion. They're seething.
>>562203091I don't know what people could possible hope for out of the series at this point.It's obvious that the story was meant to only be LiS 1, and everything after that is borderline fanfiction, AND frankly the ending of LiS one isn't even very good, it's popularity coasts entirely on episodes 1-3, and that alone has spawned 5 other mediocre games already. You can't get blood from a stone, I don't know what people are expecting.
>>562203817Life is Strange fans are generally pretty delusional. It's the only way they can cope outside of accepting reality and moving on.
>>562203817are you that king of shovels cuck?
>>562195196>>562200936Is Amanda into zoophilia?
>>562199175Yo jeet, how those sales and player counts tasting? Guess your waifu's 'triumphant return' was a total flop, lol
>>562201428>I'm still disappointed that the camera never ended up having like a spooky element to it. It seems like a missed opportunity to have gone back and like seen or noticed elements of a videoThey did kind of try with the recording Swann can't remember taking, implying that there could more tapings that told a different story like in the break in part as well. But what's egregious about it is they only did it twice and their past and present selves never bring it up again, instead trusting their own memories and not questioning the others. Gameplay wise with the camera, yeah missed opportunity to tie it to the story in a more meaningful way instead of it being the collectible and journal replacement from LiS. I remember the game early on hints at you that you might get to film myths here and there but no.
>>562205041Oh and one more thing, I think the big kicker is that you don't even see any new videos on the camcorder roll to see if Corey used it or someone else did, not counting the lousy video message from Kat.
>>562204372if you pay attention to the logs and dialogue in DE, it's pretty obvious she's into watersports, foot shit, and some low-key scat. Reunion adds zero depth to any of the characters, unfortunately
>>562203823if they just made a sequel to the first game and be done with the series then we'd be better offironically we need a rewind
I wonder what some of the oldfags would make it Reunion. Coffee shop lesbians. Joyce's ring theorist.
>>562203817Hows the DE subreddit reacting to Reunion's changes?
>>562205605They did that though. It's called Double Exposure. People didn't like it.
>>562205481Watersports with Amanda!!
>>562206108too little too lateI kinda meant instead of lis2 featuring wolf bros we should've just gotten a max and chloe game as a sequel + a dlc or two by dontnod and be done with the series instead of getting a bunch of mid games like right now and people losing interest in the series over the long ass time it took to get to DE and reunion
>>562206991I think the issue is that dontnod don't want to do more of that story. It was done, and SE demanded more max fanfiction, which is where d9 comes in to pump out slop.
>>562205794Hopefully came to their senses and realized the damage they did.
>>562203823I want more Alex and Steph, although Alex needs a different power because hers was so lame the game barely used itOther than that, I think it's probably best they shelve LiS for at least 5 years and then reboot it. LiS has a good skeleton, but the first game definitely has room for improvement. Then, they can unfuck the storyline by doing completely different sequels
>>562204372She's not white, so probably not.
>>562207369yeah I figuredif anything this series expanded my music library so there's that, kek
>>562207504retard
>>562207504Monkey paw situation is the upcoming show IS the reboot and they'll follow it up with new games.
Theres almost certainly a remake of LiS1 underway.
>>562200912Pink Noise is what Lost Records should have been. Teens in the 90s dealing with an actual supernatural mystery with a charming villain and beautiful hand drawn animation. The downside is no lesbians, it's in early access with only the first episode released with the devs estimating it will take 3-5 years to complete the game. That's if it gets finished because sales were below expectations with the devs publicly stating so. Although it has a dedicated fanbase willing to fund the game.https://store.steampowered.com/app/2885810/Pink_Noise/
>>562207504I think Alex's power is arguably one of the better alternatives for this kind of game (Max's being basically the best possible option). But it was definitely used in the most boring possible ways in TC.
>>562208158Not going to fund your game, sorry.
>>562207369Don't Nod can't do anymore because Square Enix owns the rights. But yes, Don't Nod was done with LiS hence why SE shipped it to Deck Nine. Now we're at the mercy of SE's retarded leadership on the fate of LiS
>>562208158>visual novel>3-5 years to completelmao
>>562207686
*kicks your dick in*
Max was born on the day the Guy died at the Abraxas party. Her powers come from there.
>>562208721giwtwm
>play reunion>notice all the trees are staticwe had the technology with unreal 3 in lis1guess it's impossible now in UE5 also vortex chads > abraxas cucks
>>562208721
>>562209074>they reuse assets>still can't make any setpiece look alive>still tiny spots with a handful of NPCs that just stand aroundit's annoying and frankly embarrassing when there a solo devs that can do better
>>562208721What a woman!
>>562209074Most assets in videogames now are scanned from real life (or generated, in the case of trees) and directly imported as 10-100 million polygon models that the engine then crunches and displays at the necessary resolution. This doesn't *always* mean this, but generally it means you can't animate them outside of procedural graphics card-side stuff that's a pain to do and get to look right.
>>562209351because they don't have to waste their entire resources on shoehorning chlorine into the game at all costs
So, Saffi letter theory was a bunk.Amusing how they essentially ignore the breakup letter entirely.
>>562210593How many brain cells are you missing that you can't even spell a four-letter name right?
>>562210856Savfefe
>>562208721Has her face being stung by a wasp?
>>562209975Is this porn?
>>562211405Probably?I think the shark is supposed to be a trans icon or something.
I want a remake of this scene but with Reunion Max and Chloe
>>562209975where is the porn
should I play Lost Records or Before the Storm or True Colors
Did you rewind the kiss?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iL_nIMLWHdc
>>562212564Lost Records, then TC
>>562212564Depends on what you think about the games you have played.
>>562212472Brooke is a bold truth-teller.
>>562212750>LiSpretty okay>LiS DEthey made max thicc and luscious>LiS Reunionpretty okay>Tell Me Why episode 1pretty okay but I missed a collectible and I got so annoyed I stopped playing
>>562212472brooke's game when
>>562212954Then you should play True Colors, more soulless D9 shit
>>562212954Oh my god I totally fucking forgot Tell Me Why existed. I should really go back and play that.
>>562213378somehow that meme feels more of a lis game than official lis entries
Move along>>562214019>>562214019>>562214019
