I am putting together a flowchart (a-la-/mu/) of music similar to LiS
Currently working on a few different thoughts for the flowchart. If you guys have any ideas, please share. Current plan is 3 categories; Victoriaish, slowcore, and indie pop. To bad I have literally no motivation to work on it...

I thought the same thing at first, but when I started shipping maximum victory a whole new dynamic opened up. It's awesome.
Especially if you look really far out and realize that Maximum Victory essentially ensures Max becomes a famous photographer and Vicky does too as well as a model.
>>125164785
That's the exact gripe I have with it and the reason I also haven't read it. Just feels bad for them not to be like they're meant to, together.

I feel the same way. And I will never ship Max and Victoria, so it's a lost cause for me to even read it.
Not complaining because there's a constant flow of Pricefield goodness, but I just wish I could follow something created by someone in the general.
>>125165304
Once again, cut out the part where it forces that sac Chloe choice and instead make this the outcome of making that choice just for the utilitarian shits that chose it.
We already know that Max canonically would sac AB outside player control.

>>125167169
I agree with you, but I guess I figured that it wouldn't matter because the whole scene is part of the nightmare, with Max's consciousness being manipulated by Rachel, to give her enough time to explain the truth.
They'd never do something like this anyway, not enough misery for the frogs.

Never. Winter will bring in newfags from the steam holiday sales. They'll restart all the old discussions and that will last until season 2 will be announced.

>>125167156

Not only that, but LiT isn't even about the real Max. It's an AU version of her who never met Chloe or was never good friends with her. LiT Max is a completely different person from the one we know and love.
>watching replay of /lisg/'s vgl game yesterday
Do people actually consider Obstacles and Something Good to be 'weird' music? Like I'd consider it some of the most inoffensive 'indie'.
>>125169968
No matter what anyones opinion of it is, it just doesn't fit for vgl--ESPECIALLY our goal song. Definitely should be using Get Well Soon.
>>125170380
I figured Glass Walls for an anthem, Naughty for a goal horn, and Obstacles for a special horn when Pricefield Cuteposting scores.
Unfortunately LiS really doesn't have music that pumps you up, it's more mellow.
>>125168967
Weak submissive Victoria is worst Victoria. Taking away her aloofness and domineering attitude completely ruins the appeal of her character.
>>125170812
I like narratives where Vic is usually the dom but Max gets to try it out and Victoria likes it.
>>125171887
That's reasonable. Sounds like a nice balanced relationship.
Suddenly remembering when the episode 4 trailer first hit and was totally epic and the amazing implications when Nathan dropped the storm line and seemingly changed everything we thought we knew... Good times...
>>125172739
Those were good times. Episode 3 didn't leave us much to talk about and so those 10 weeks were unbearable. Then we got an episode that was actually worth the wait.
>>125172739
Suddenly remembering when retards didn't try to force memes like this... Good times...
>>125164785
Cool. It's still just as good.
>>125167156
90% of fanfiction and likely even more than that is Pricefield. The game itself is primarily that. As are these threads. I'm glad LiT isn't. Read the /lisg/ story if you must; last I heard Max is beating Victoria up in there.
>>125169653
>completely different person
I wouldn't say that. Was the AU Max in the game a "completely different person"? I would argue she retained a whole lot of the Max I "know and love" and very much so does Nova's.
>>125172914
>SOOOON
>>125172739
I still don't understand how they could have rewritten so much of the story in such a short time that Nathan in a previous script that made it even into the trailer had knowledge of the storm.
>>125173065
Well, AU Max from the game still had the same childhood as regular Max up until the day William died and the aftermath of that. LiT Max never knew Chloe it seems, most of her childhood would have changed drastically because of that and as a result, so would her character.
>>125173065
>Was the AU Max in the game a "completely different person"?
Yes, retard.
>>125174324
>it seems
It's simply not said in there, so we can assume she did.
>most of her childhood would have changed drastically because of that and as a result, so would her character
Arguably. But that doesn't even matter because for the sake of fiction we can assume that she just is the same? And he mostly writes her like that.
I agree that stories where Chloe exists and is just Max's friend and both "ok" with them being with other people taste strange, but even those I can enjoy.
>>125173938
Seriously, could they really not just cut that line from the trailer? Just replaced it with the "my dad is on his way, you're all fucked." Still dishonest since Sean never showed up and was made entirely irrelevant, but still.
I'm so freaking curious about what went on behind the scenes of this thing, it kills me.
>>125170812
I second this.
I don't understand the thing some people have for Max domming Victoria.
>>125170812
Victoria is weak, she admits it herself.
>>125170812
>>125175175
Count me in. I can dig it if it's not too over the top, but icy Victoria is where it's at.
>>125173938
They may have just used that trailer to throw people off. It doesn't even seem that they'd have the production time to change it up that much, like it wouldn't even be possible.
>>125175175
I'm all in favour of this >>125171887 suggestion but the way some writers handle dom fics makes it look like Max is bullying Victoria. She just comes across as too out-of-character. Imagine if someone wrote her treating Chloe or Kate the same way.
>>125176302
Multiple lines of the same nature are in the game files of that scene itself.
>>125175880
Dunno why Warren is so obsessed with Max. Brooke would be much better for him.
Any recent word from Imagination Lord or the other devs, or are they all still just sucking their own dicks?

Clearly stuff was cut, but I'm saying they might have just put that in the trailer as a red herring even though they changed it a long time ago.
Either that or it was a very small part of the story that was just very easy to quickly cut out. And if that's the case, then it probably isn't of much consequence. They said that the stuff they cut was stuff they didn't like.
>>125177156
>putting red herring in the trailer
"How not to write 101".
>>125176595
>Imagine if someone wrote her treating Chloe or Kate the same way.
Oh I am, it's quite a sight.
>>125177156
That's not what a red herring is.
>>125169653
>LiT isn't even about the real Max.
I don't really understand fan fics in general, but I certainly don't understand what the appeal is in just completely changing the characters into other people. You might as well just read an original story. But whatever, just not my thing.
>>125177156
>Either that or it was a very small part of the story that was just very easy to quickly cut out. And if that's the case, then it probably isn't of much consequence.
More likely it was too BIG a part of the story and they just didn't have the time to deal with it, which would explain why Nathan as a whole was abruptly killed off screen and ignored for the entire finale.
>>125177462
You want Max to sexually bully Kate?
>>125178525
it's not really bullying if they enjoy it, and beg for more when it's over
>>125178525
Wouldn't that be something.
>>125178525
>>125178710
>>125178757
>>125178820
It doesn't feel like there's a very Kate-friendly atmosphere in this thread.
>>125164503
>>125178820
Suicide watch for Kate once again in chapter 7.
>>125178085
It was episode 4 that the scene in question was cut from. We know that ep 5 was changed a bit from the leaks, and it's possible they had to prioritize what they could fit in. Nathan wasn't ignored though, his role with Jefferson and Rachel was explained.
If it was actually something really big, they may have cut it because probably no one would have been really that interested in Nathan all of a sudden becoming a big key character. With everything that anyone might not like about ep. 5, I doubt it was lack of Nathan that really irritated most people.
>>125179009
>Kate begging for more (ie enjoying herself)
>Anti-Kate
plz don't slutshame anon. Kate would love to repeat some of the things she did on that videoin a loving and supportive environment with her many female lovers
I think it would be really great if they would just canonize bae ending and skip forward 10 years or so into Max and Chloe's life and have a season dealing with the hardships they face in their relationship. Possibly working through the issues they have with destroying the town and whatnot.
It's not like coming of age as a teen is the end of stories worth telling about people. They could do like the Before Sunset trilogy where they just explore different times in the character's relationships and lives.
>>125179378
>Nathan wasn't ignored though, his role with Jefferson and Rachel was explained.
Not well enough. We still don't know the specifics of when Jefferson's project got started, how Nathan got involved or how they managed to convince Sean to renovate a fucking $1.3 million bunker for the supposed purpose of a photography tutorship. We don't know any more about Rachel than we did in Episode 4 either. For a game that put so much effort into characterising people and places through background information it's stunning just how little was revealed in Polarized.
>>125177156
>might have just put that in the trailer as a red herring
The trailers were outsourced to a company that werent as clued in on development as they should have been. The version of the episode they received was the pre cut Nathan lines version, they thought it made for a good sound bite so they used it, not knowing that dontnod would decide to cut that scene before release
>>125179876

>>125180712
Kate is a slut and proud.
>>125180034
It's really fucking easy to cut a scene from a trailer though. Literally like 10 minutes of effort.
>>125180034
If that's true then it means the episode was mostly finished and it was just a small part they cut out.
>>125180559
I don't think I've ever seen anyone say that the thing they hated about ep. 5 was that they wanted more Nathan.
>>125180034
>The version of the episode they received was the pre cut Nathan lines version
Oh anon, don't make me imagine a version of the scene once existed with those lines intact... Don't make me wonder what other things were more or less complete and playable only to be then cut out...
>>125179639
>loving supportive environment
>relive a traumatic experience
You're no katefriend.
>>125180861
>I don't think I've ever seen anyone say that the thing they hated about ep. 5 was that they wanted more Nathan.
A shit load of people say it. It's not what people point to as "THE problem", but it's certainly a large one. He's the primary antagonist and most important character after Max and Chloe, who are both obsessed with him from the start. He's been central to the plot since the beginning of the first episode.
>>125180861
Of course it wasn't THE thing everyone hated most. That's because Episode 5 failed in so many regards that the handling of Nathan's character was jut one of many flaws. A lot of us still wanted more Nathan though.
Reminder that this is a meme thread masquerading as a life is strange thread masquerading as a reddit thread
>>125180139
>>125180676
>not wanting a continuation of Chloe's and Max's story
I hate the endings as much as anybody, but my desire for new Max and Chloe adventures would easily defeat my disdain towards episode 5.
>>125180874
We can see everything that was cut late on with all the loc dialogue from the game files, most of which our audio anon(s) ripped also.
>>125165304
i would love this to be honest.
Honestly at this point, I'm kind of glad Nathan was just cut from the episode altogether. Max, Warren, Chloe and Jefferson have been completely ruined for me thanks to their ridiculous treatment in episode 5, at least Nathan's last appearances were strong.
>>125181195
>Max and Chloe pissing around trying to go on an adventure when they have no personal stake like they did with Rachel's disappearance or Kate's suicide
>The supporting cast is completely wiped out with the exception of Max's parents
>Story poisoned by the bullshit interpretation of Chaos Theory and the inevitability of another storm caused by Max's powers
For some reason I just can't see the appeal in a continuation.
>>125181647
It's sad to say but I kind of agree. Frank and possibly Joyce might just be the only characters I can think of who were treated in a dignified manner. David got his redemption scene but it was ruined by that absurd puzzle scene. And poor Victoria deserved so much better than what she got.
This like the Katawa Shoujo general now
The only work of fiction that ever did time travel right was Slaughterhouse-Five, and that wasn't even actual time travel
At least there's more content to circlejerk over until Season 2, right?
>>125182230
>At least there's more content to circlejerk over until Season 2, right?
Like what? The director's commentary and artbook? We know they're not gonna make DLC and I doubt any of us care for Vampyr. I suppose there's that visual novel to look forward to.
>>125182230
There will be Vampyr to circlejerk over.
For those of you refusing to buy the LE, would you buy it if it turned out the director's commentary was actually honest about the problems, and answered some questions about what went on and got changed behind the scenes?
>>125182679
Fuck off, shill.
>>125182679
No.
I am not even sure why they are doing a LE, they should just work it out 1-2 episodes to fill it out with sci fi and relationship scenes
>>125182976
>they should just work it out 1-2 episodes to fill it out with sci fi and relationship scenes
wut?
>>125182679
It would be nice if they revealed what they cut just so people would finally shut up about it.
>>125180898
>Kate can never share physical intimacy with anyone under any circumstances
>she'll be traumatised by that video forever
>she'll never recover
who's not a katefriend?
>>125183091
Oh anon, that's never gonna happen. We're NEVER gonna shut up about it.
>>125182679
If it was guaranteed not to be a commentary full of backpatting and talking about how relatable Warren is, I'd be more enthusiastic about potentially buying it.
>>125183081
Like 1 or 2 DLC episodes to have more relationship scenes and explanation to the powers.
Maybe an episode in the AU hanging out with nathan and victoria
Would Kate be successful on Blacked?
>>125182679
I might buy if the directors commentary was a literal flagellation, where the directors were beaten with metal rods while apologising for each and every fuckup.
And it was on special.
>>125183224
Well, that's probably true. Even if it turned out that the shit they cut was the most retarded shit ever written, people around here would still hail it as the ultimate glory that they were robbed of and never stop complaining about how unfair it all is.
>>125182679
How is the director's commentary even going to work, I'm assuming it's not going to be commentary over the game like they do with bonus dvd features, is it just going to be some separate thing?
Director's commentaries never reveal much of anything anyways, they didn't say anything important at all during the live stream event.
>>125184102
I imagine it'll be through viewable items, kind of like how Portal had those optional commentary nodes, where they comment on things generally related to that point in the game. And possibly during non-interactive cutscenes, like a DVD.
>>125183410
Why do you have to be so mean?
>>125184102
It's going to be in-game with Michel dancing around the screen.

New chapter of So Far Gone is out.
>>125207835
WHAT DID YOU SAY ANON? I DIDN'T HEAR YOU
>>125209698
Thanks a lot, you piece of shit! You woke Chloe and Max up!
>>125209173
Just read it. Not too many thoughts of the latest chapter. Seems like Rachel will be out of the story for a while, so it's setting up more time for Max & Chloe. Wonder what will happen when Max's parents show up and are obviously displeased (Too bad the story makes them seem like douches so far, but I guess every story needs an antagonist).
I'm also so glad that the story didn't go down some genderqueer route. Although I have an idea of why Chloe would have that stuff.
>>125210206
Yeah I'm glad they dropped it in the way that they did, though i'm sure it'll be back. Max's parents seems like it will be the next arc after some fluff.
>>125210493
Chloe said that she wasn't changing who she was, but she obviously had that stuff for a reason. My guess is she had a plan to run away, disguised as a boy, to Seattle to find Max. Since Max's parents obviously don't like Chloe in the story the only way for her to get close to Max would be to be someone different.
Or maybe it was something involving Rachel.

her hand looks extremely weird in that picture

What would you do if you met a tiny Kate?
>>125222874
(That old-school mango style. Memories come back!)
I would adopt her and educate her to both not take ancient desert religions generated by overheated brains seriously and still have high moral standards.
Also, tell her about the evils of organized religion, organized state and organized crime.
Buy a hamster and a violin. Einstein liked playing violin while reflecting about math lego.
Generally, good parenting. I would probably die worrying about the risk of failure...
>>125223096
>evil
>organized state
XYZ my son...
>>125222874
hug, adore and cherish her
>>125222874
Tell her how to shoot a gun and how to detect an FBI narc
"Keep your hair short"

"A storm is coming"

Chloe would dump Rachel for Max if she was still alive.I do think Max would say she wouldn't mind "sharing" just to make Chloe happier even though she would scream on her pillow for an hour later.
Fresh outta the oven.
>>125228269
I think Rachel would just encourage Chloe and Max to be together. She'd probably tease and flirt with both of them trying to make the other jealous just for fun though.
>>125229071
Thirsty Max is cute.
>>125229071
Haha Max in the corner. Love the colors!
>>125229119
Yeah definitely. I don't even think Rachel ever saw Chloe in that way. Maybe she would've fucked her but doubt she would want a serious relationship.
"I don't know if I would like the teasing you mentioned, it would probably make Chloe uncomfortable. Thanks for dying Rachel.
>>125229492
>I don't know if I would like the teasing
How can you not?! Rachel would keep things exciting between them but both'd know she's just fooling around because she probably would have a boyfriend.
>>125230232
*she probably would have 3 boyfriends and a sugar daddy

Before Episode 5's release:
>Lol Mari's theories're shitty.It's way more than shitty to become true
>Chloe has to die thing doesn't make sense.Don't worry they will come with unpredictable story
>We're gonna learn everything about Max's powers,Rachel and Prescotts even Nathan,spirit animals..
>Jefferson knows about Max's powers
>Nathan,Frank,David or Samuel's gonna save us
>Victoria's with Max,she'll save her
>(After seeing Cemetery scene from leaks) I'm sure it'll be Williams,Rachel's or Kate's grave.
>Rachel's the doe and Butterfly and probably we'll see her in Max's dream
>Blue Jay's Chloe
After Episode 5's release:
>Mari's shitty cliche theory became right
>We visited the SF art gallery for 3 seconds. FOR 3 DAMN SECONDS
>Jefferson became a silly bad guy from Disney
>David came to save us.He's a former-soldier but he can't even fight,just listens teenager's orders. Even he doesn't know she has some time travel powers.
>Victoria's with us in the dark room.Laying there and we can talk her or not.Just it.
>Nathan get killed,Victoria too
>Nathan knew something about the storm but they cut it.
>Warren explained Max's powers(!) (thanks warryn) We found out her power causes/related with Chaos Theory and storm.It's not like we didn't know or something.
>Storm is only coming for Bay because Chloe lives in there but Max's the one who keep changes the time
>Prescotts story erased.Nobody even mention their name.
>Rachel's story fucked too.She isn't doe,or butterfly,bluejay or even shit.
>Spirit animals thing died.Blue Butterfly's Chloe just it.
>Chloe dies again in one of endings (unpredictable) It gives you a lesson: You shouldn't have used your power.And you shouldn't play this game.Now erase your choices and cry like a bitch.
>Chloe has to die thing comes true, Cemetery scene explained with that.
>The other ending's short but it's less cliché than other.We saved Chloe,storm's hit the town and gone.That's it.
>Epilogue: Use ur imaginations:)muh budget

Mister Jefferson senpai please
>>125233576
Jefferson's japanese voice kinda sucks, I'm usually a sucker for JP versions, but he lacks emotion in the "you either know this or not Max". I won't even talk about Nathan's though...
>>125233804
Maybe it's a cultural thing?
I have never been to a Japanese classroom....

Why are comments and ratings disabled on all official japanese LiS videos? I mean, I guess comments I sort of understand because of spoilers, but why ratings as well?
>>125236482
Because they know everyone hated the ending and will thumb it down because of it.
>>125235838
Tell it like it is Mr. Plinkett.
>>125236580
All official english LiS videos have overwhelmingly positive ratings on youtube, even the trailer for the LE which came out after ep 5 when the disappointment was at its peak. Outside of /lisg/ I haven't seen much hate for the ending to be honest.
>>125177747
I don't think LiT Max is a different character really. She's very recognisably Max. However it's quite deep prose so there's some that's I guess... speculation? On what Max may think about stuff.
>>125169653
Its an alternate universe, right? Nova hinted that there was something to do with Chloe in an old draft. I think Chloe is really difficult to get right, though, maybe he doesn't want to juggle more characters against each other.
>>125234502
Actually I think he sounds like the "typical chest-expanding japanese schoolyard bully" so it's not too jarring if you are not used to "american Nathan".

>Outside of /lisg/ I haven't seen much hate for the ending to be honest.
I've seen it get a fair bit of flak from certain parts of tumblr. But that's often the SJW/angry lesbian type criticism rather than general disappointment with the shit writing.
>>125236959
I've seen plenty. Any rating below like 98% isn't worth the risk.

That's because the writing isn't anywhere near as bad as people in this thread make it out to be. There's like one probably legitimate plothole that people have pointed out with auto-pilot Max rewinding after the focus in the bathroom. That's about it, most of the rest of the arguments made here are not anywhere near as solid as people like to insist they are.
Either that or you have to assume that everyone else on the internet is stupid and we're the only smart ones, and that's a bit gratuitous innit.
>>125239886
No plotholes doesn't equal good writing, and I've seen disappointment on youtube and tumblr as well.
>>125239312
Why not?
>>125239886
The writing isn't that bad no, but still bad enough for us to complain, it's a LiS thread, a lot in this game was making us hope for more, the blue animals, the spirit animals, the great character development, the meaningful choices (or so we hoped), etc. So when all of that crashed it was a big disappointment. It's not bad writing if you compare it to the average game, but a lot worse than we were led to believe.
>>125239886
>everyone else on the internet is stupid and we're the only smart ones, and that's a bit gratuitous innit.
dunno m8, it sure feels like that sometimes
And bad writing isn't just plot-holes. It's lazy writing. Info-dumping and villain monologuing. Abruptly ending whole character arcs and letting so much build up go nowhere (Nathan, Sean, Rachel's blood oath and the supernatural stuff etc).
Contrived narrative progression (Max 'forgetting' the storm' rather than giving her a proper reason to assume it wouldn't happen, Max not even thinking to try warning Chloe in the focus about the storm to at least maybe save Joyce).
>>125239886
There has been plenty of disappointment. Pretty much any review I read, while far more forgiving than us, said the episode was at least not as good as the previous ones, there's been plenty of complaints on youtube, and Tumblr is completely pissed off.
The only legitimate apologism I've seen is shit from Reddit people have posted here (and being an apologist kind of necessitates acknowledging everyone else's attitude anyway).
Granted I haven't looked very deeply, but I haven't explicitly sought out negative opinions either, it just seems to be what I most often encounter.
>>125239886
The gripe most people have isn't time travel plotholes. We are perfectly willing to suspend our disbelief for that. The main problem is the tornado itself. Saving Chloe's life = summon a tornado. That IS shit writing and has nothing whatsoever to do with the butterfly effect or chaos theory, despite the devs best effort to force chaos theory as the final, half assed explanation for everything.
>>125233361
Play the soundtrack loud all day and see how they react
Also move out before the tornado hits
>>125240578
>The only legitimate apologism I've seen is shit from Reddit people have posted here
This. Critics were disappointed, Tumblr is pissed, only Reddit seems to be content and "analyzing the deep philosophical blablabla", seriously.
>>125179876
I am with you, Anon.
>>125240982
I'm always up for some more Pricefield, but I REALLY doubt they wouldn't fuck it up for good and ruin what we have even now.
>>125240609
It's not even just the logic of it, but the fact that the characters and emotional arcs were all shafted in favour of some bullshit plot device that was completely unconnected to anything. The fact that the plot device made no sense just added insult to injury.
>>125240609
you fucks don't know about magic realism, it does not need some kind of scientific explanation. as long as it fit in the theme of the game, which it does, its just fine
you can really tell that video games are aimed at entitled uneducated kids by the way these discussions are going, no wonder nobody treats games as serious art. then you have all these teens going online and complain about "writing" as if they had any fucking clue what the fuck they are talking about
>>125241472
And you do? Does your degree in psychology make you some sort of expert?
We're just discussing, and opinions are a thing. You don't need to let them upset you.
>>125241212
How exactly were Chloe and Max's character and emotional arcs shafted by the tornado? If anything the tornado forced everything into focus, even if for no apparent reason.
>>125241472
Hope this isn't bait.
We're not specifically asking for scientific explanations, we're asking for some meaning at the very least. "Why did you add those features? What's their role in the story?"
>>125241472
You clearly don't know anything about story telling. Sure you can have magic and don't need a scientific explanation, but in that case, you still need to establish that it actually IS magic and set the boundaries for how magic works in your world early on. You can't just completely ignore it for 99% of the story and then at the very end go "it's magic, I don't have to explain shit". That's the very epitome of what you should never do as a writer if you want to tell a satisfying, sensible story.
>>125241472
>it does not need some kind of scientific explanation
Then why did the game constantly question the science of it all?
You can't just call 'magical realism' any time something doesn't make sense. Even magical realism has rules. This is just really really shitty lazy scifi.
>>125239886
>Either that or you have to assume that everyone else on the internet is stupid and we're the only smart ones
>>125241472
Knew someone would try to disprove it! Thanks anon.
>>125241912
Not that guy, but LiS made references from the beginning about magic vs. science and how no one knew what the explanations were. The confusion between magic and science was never ignored, it was always a part of the story.
