Worst meme yet.
Chloe will kick your butt!
>As Max and Chloe are leaving the ruins of Arcadia Bay behind, there's one more tragic story unfolding
>Alice and Lisa stuck in Max's room, Alice hasn't eaten anything in days, the dorms are destroyed and no one comes looking for them
>"No one's gonna come save us, this is the end, we'll starve to death..."
>Alice...you can survive this and go back to your owner. All you have to do is... all you have to do is eat me."
>"What? No, fuck that. Lisa, you're my number one priority, I'm not eating you!"
>"Alice, think about it... how many times this week did you try to nibble my leafs? I'm a plant, Alice, you're a bunny, maybe it's time I accept my destiny... OUR destiny."
>"Lisa, I can't make this choice!"
>"No Alice, you're the only one who can"
>eat Lisa
>eat your own foot
>>127393931
you are the worst meme desu
All the creative endings created by the fans...
It hurts that they're so much better than the two we actually got.
>>127394032
One of the better memes yet.

Forget the horror here...
All this ridiculous fanfics about either Max hooking up with Victoria in the most lewd ways, or her going into deep depression and taking drugs.
What the..
>>127394324
>>127394816
>Max hooking up with Victoria
My fetish.
>>127394816
Is that after the ending if she lets Chloe die?
Makes sense. She becomes just like Chloe did after losing William. Get involved with people that aren't good for her and start looking for different vices to try to escape. Alcohol, sex, drugs, all that stuff.
Except there'd be no helping Max because she can't tell anyone what was wrong.
>>127394526
>>127394678

Ok I'm curious, what was it?

>>127395810
As am I. None of the major characters benefit from the Sacrifice Chloe ending.
I'd argue that even in the Sacrifice Arcadia Bay ending that certain characters are better off. Even if they die.
>>127393627
Will this tradition survive Season 2?
>>127395195
>>127395997
But.. They are polar opposites.. They won't even want to be hanging around each other..
>>127396092
>>127396106
Please don't start less than thirty posts into the thread.
>>127395997
SIR YES SIR
>>127395997
>>127396092
Aside from maybe Nathan and perhaps Joyce and David (considering the alternative) I can't say I agree. Assuming some or all of the students are dead then that's a pretty horrible loss considering they had full lives ahead of them. I don't think Frank's better off dead since he wouldn't have heard about Rachel's death from Max and would have received no closure.
>>127395997
.
Sleepover!
I really like this person's renders (Saved a bunch), but they're kind of small and I don't think there's larger ones.
>>127395997
What happened to that anon that was going to write a Maximum Victory short fic?
>>127396275
But.. Only way I can think of it is, Max falls into depression after Chloe died, and she turns into several vices to cope with the pain, and she approaches Vicky for that.
>>127396106
>They won't even want to be hanging around each other
They were fucking in AU. Anything is possible with imagination. :)
>>127396106
Victoria is secretly a closeted geek and sub who is grossly insecure and craves validation. Prolonged exposure to Max will reduce her to a gooey, dependent mess.
>>127397878
Damn right.
>>127397878
>reduce her to a gooey, dependent mess.
That ruins the entire appeal of her character though. Aloof domineering Victoria is best Victoria.
>>127398107
>>127398162
>>127397878
Uh huh uh huh..
>>127397378
Got consumed by the /lisg/ curse.
>>127397575
>she approaches Vicky for that.
Victoria is best girl.
>>127398162
Not really, she probably goes around deliberately acting even more arrogant in public, either to demonstrate her 'worth', or just in hopes that Max will discipline her behind closed doors for her transgression.
There's too much Victoria ITT so far. We need more Chloe. And Max.
>>127398594
:^)
>>127398594
There is never too much Victoria.
If Max is with Chloe or Victoria does that mean that Kate will be all on her lonesome?
>>127399031
All 4 will be best friends.
>>127399031
Kate is too busy spending special time with the party boys.
>>127399031
Kate is in a relationship with God.
>>127399031
Kate will be with that good boy from Church. They won't even fuck until they get married.
Victoria .. No way! She would probably be with some preppy guy from the sports club.
>>127399031
I don't think Kate would be down for being with a girl. She'd find a nice boy with similar beliefs.
I wonder how she would take the news about Max & Chloe though, I'm sure she'd accept them eventually but she may have some issue initially. And not because it's same sex, more because she doesn't know Chloe aside from whatever she's heard about her. Which probably isn't good things.
>>127399285
Meanie
>>127399316
>Victoria .. No way!
U sure?
>>127399316
>>127399349
>Good boy from Church
So Kate will never have a happy ending?
>>127399316
Victoria and Nathan were probably good together. Too bad that unless Max really changed things, to save everyone, that it will never happen.
She seemed to be the only person to actually care about Nathan and the only person Nathan wanted to protect.
What do you guys want from S2?
I want either two completely different, branching stories depending on what ending you chose in S1 or a completely different cast and story.
>>127399843
I prefer them having a near-sibling relationship instead of a romantic one. I'm not quite sure why but for some reason I find it more heartwarming.
>>127399843
I see them more brother/sister.
>>127399843
Nathan is seriously not in the right mindset for a relationship.
>>127399924
It would be next to impossible to make a branching story. The two endings are so radically different from each other. One has Max continuing her studies at Blackwell without Chloe and the other has the two of them leave a destroyed Arcadia Bay with everyone else presumed dead. If the budget issues wouldn't let them tweak the endings then there's no way they'll have the resources to build two completely different stories per episode in the next season.
>>127400231
>>127400323
I agree with the brother/ sister dynamic they have. But they're not so if they wanted to go on dates and stuff like that there's nothing wrong with it. I really don't see who else they would go for. There's a lot more to a relationship than just sex, it's about caring and being there for someone.
>>127399924
They will never make two stories. No way. If they do, it will only branch out for one episode, then somehow it will all pierce together as one, cohesive plotline.
They will most likely just force one ending to be canon IMO.
>>127400919
>They will most likely just force one ending to be canon
I can't believe I'd ever actually want a new cast and story but I'd take that over something that canonises either of those godawful endings.
>>127401059
>>127401279
Well if they are gonna include the old cast, mainly Max, they can just set her as a side character
>>127401784
I'm not really concerned about Max being a playable or side character. I just want something that'll help bury all memory of Episode 5.
>>127402027
but... but don't you wanna see more Max..

>Thanx dontnod, your inept attempt at writing tragedy has turned me into a cocktail drinking alchoholic.
>>127402590
IDK what you mean senpai. Everything is fine.
>>127402481
Maybe as a side character but honestly I actually would like to try a new playable character. Preferably a more competent protagonist. The problem with Max is she might just be her own worst enemy since she almost never uses her common fucking sense. Her enabling of Chloe's stupidity nearly ended in both of their deaths and she wound up getting stuck in the Dark Room again because she didn't think things through when she focused into her contest photo.
>>127402942
>Max is stupid
but that's what makes her so.. relatable.. so.. adorable.
>>127403779
It gets a little tiresome though. The final quarter of Episode 4 and the first two thirds of Episode 5 are completely pointless. Max and Chloe had won the moment they stepped foot into the Dark Room. The only logical move Jefferson could do next was flee the town and assume a new identity before the police figured out that Nathan was working for someone else. Instead he makes an idiotic gambit that relies on the two of them behaving in the most stupid manner imaginable....which they proceed to do. It's just annoying having the villain get such a miraculous reversal of fortunes due to the protagonists being stupid. It feels like an artificial way to drag out the conflict.
Question:Can you let William die in Ep3?
I was getting so ready for some lesbo action and then the ending happens...dont know what to thing desu
>>127404589
>No option to just email the stuff on the dark room's computer to the FBI website's tip centre, along with the address of the rape bunker and maybe a few photos of it's interior and access code.
>No option to try to lie, cheat, beg, and otherwise convince the people of arcadia bay to just leave for the day on friday.
This what the retarded spirits get for entrusting future powers to a fucking art student.
>>127399843
>the only person Nathan wanted to protect
...was Max, apparently. Jefferson had plans regarding Victoria and Nathan didn't warn her when he did Max.
I think Nathan and Victoria had a close relationship, sibling-like if you will, but with a lot of unsaid stuff. The only reason I can see why Nathan wouldn't warn her if he truly cared about her is that he was afraid of revealing that side of him to her.
I find it more likely he was "in love", or rather "obsessed" in some way, with Rachel and later possibly started to develop similar feelings for Max too. But didn't want to repeat what happened with Rachel and so he warned Max. Maybe his hostility always was to scare her off and suppress his own feelings.
Victoria I can't see ever having had a romantical relationship. She probably had her fair share of "fun" with boys from parties and get-togethers but ultimately never felt satisfied with how they treated her. Maybe she had hoped to have more with Nathan than what they did have, but always also knew that it wasn't really going to work that way with them. Too much distance.
Like Nathan I can see her having developed feelings for Rachel and later Max. Unlike the rich or athlete type boys she used to get with, these girls not only have some facet to them that Victoria feels attracted to (Rachel as a photo subject, Max as a photographer), but they also don't treat her like a girl in the sense that guys especially with the background of her social clique sometimes do. On top of that they just caused strong feelings in her to begin with with the attention they got from Jefferson (and possibly Nathan) and with how they never seemed to want to take her up on any challenge, instead being kind. So they were on her mind and had an effect on her, she found herself increasingly more interested and eventually drawn to them and she hated that. Being a "lesbo" is "improper" and how could she possibly like these girls that she "hated"? And so there's hostility there too.
>>127405458
Those have long since stopped being spoilers, no need for the tags. And no, you have no choice but to save William.
You shouldn't really be in this thread if you've only just finished Episode 3. Be wary about Episode 5 though. It's by far the worst episode in the game and one of the biggest disappointments of the year.
>>127404589

I just wanted to know about that one question, time to keep playing then. Thank for the answer.
>>127405669
wow that's a great picture
So Fare Gone updated. With two new chapters.
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11577774/19/So-Far-Gone
>>127405669
wish you would've been banned for the nsfw pic earlier desu
>>127405792
They were just hoping she'd have the intelligence to go into the alt timeline, find a polariod on the day of her crash and ring Chloe to prevent it.
Then she'd have GPA 4.0 Alt Chloe and GPA 3.9 submissive alt Victoria to advise her. The Prescotts and Jefferson would be screwed.
>>127404589
To be fair Chloe is a bit quick to temper. She pretty much flared up at Nathan's SMS. And they pretty much didn't really expect Nathan to be a clever scheming guy. And they certainly did not suspect Mr art teacher.
>>127407329
If Jefferson knew Chloe from her time at Blackwell, or ever read her file after seeing her with Max, then it's somewhat reasonable to assume he would know how to play her.
He would know she was impulsive and had one hell of a temper. So if he had cameras in the Dark Room, and saw that Max and Chloe were going to the Junkyard, and then learned that they found Rachel- Jefferson would know what to do.
Eliminate Nathan to cover his own tracks, and use Nathan's phone to set bait that Max (And especially Chloe) would take.
>>127407329
Even if they didn't know about Jefferson the text was still a painfully obvious trap. For all they knew Nathan could have had a group of henchmen ready to ambush them. I suppose they could have been concerned about losing Rachel's body as evidence. But that would never have been a problem if they'd simply snatched Rachel and Kate's folders as well as Victoria's empty one. It's just amazing how many logical steps they overlooked after they spent the entire investigation snatching important pieces of evidence from Nathan, Wells and Frank.
>All these fics that start off decently but then take a nosedive into depression where Chloe and Max want to just die
Fuck. I need to stop clicking these things.
>>127407887
Well you have a 19 year old girl who hates the world and is prone to temper outrage, and a 18 year old country pumpkin who cuck a boy for science homework help. Add on to the tension in the dark room, they probably weren't thinking straight
>>127407887
The text really isn't out of character for Nathan. He sent threatening texts in the past and even broke into Max's room to paint on her wall.
The one thing that should have stood out was that the grammar was different than Nathan's usual messages. But they never thought about that and were just concerned with getting to the Junkyard before something happened to Rachel's body.
And even if they called the Police, they may have thought that the Police were corrupted by the Prescotts and that they would get there after Nathan had already removed the body and any evidence.
While they should have absolutely taken a binder from the Dark Room. Their minds were not clear in that moment and Chloe was holding onto some shred of hope that she would find Rachel alive and Max just followed along because she was equally shocked and not thinking. Then she was concerned with staying near Chloe to make sure she didn't turn the Party into a bloodbath.
>>127408702
I'm thinking of writing one, nothing sad though. Might be a good way to improve my English.
>>127409073
They were in a bit of a rush to get to the junkyard but it would have taken no effort whatsoever to take some evidence for the Dark Room. It's not like it was hidden in a locker or behind a password. The folders were on the table directly in front of them. Making matters even more annoying is that you briefly take control of Max again and can hang around for as long as you want in the Dark Room, examining every object. It's literally the plot forcing them to be as incompetent as humanly possible to force a situation where Jefferson almost wins.
>>127409107
Go for it. The more stories means the more stuff we have to read/ discuss. And a bunch of writers have been writing in English, even if it's not their native language.
Just share it here if and when you write it.
>>127409563
I'm not good at writing though, but I'm trying to imagine the most logical scenerio for when Max and Chloe leaves Arcadia Bay.
>>127409107
What's it about?
>>127409741
Maybe road trip back to Seattle then? To go sponge of Max's parents for a while. And become mega famous for taking that photo you just know Max took of the town being killed by the tornado.
>>127408702

We don't use those kind of words around here.
>>127409752
Basically something like this. >>127409741
>>127410547
Yeah basically touch on their journey back to Seattle. I'm not in the states though, so I don't know how far do you have to drive to get from Oregon to Seattle.
They would probably stay in motels throughout the journey, maybe do something to earn some side cash..
>>127411120
Please include some hot gay lesbian action, it's what I desperately need now. Also you can make them like prostitute themselves for pennies on their trip and end up getting raped, drugged and etc in the process. That would be so hot.
>>127411323
That's exactly what I don't want to write about. It's just not like them to do that.
>>127409741
My thoughts about Max and Chloe are this:
They leave a day after the storm.
That night they spend in the building next to the lighthouse. Inside all Max can do is cry and shake, Chloe just holds her close and tries to comfort her by talking about when they were kids.
In the morning they try to drive into Arcadia Bay but everything is blocked off that way by debris. Max and Chloe continue on foot and see the devastation. There is destroyed buildings, fires, and bodies in the street (None of which they recognize) Max is horrified but Chloe steels herself and pulls Max towards Two Whales. They both have to know for better or worse what happened, but when they get there they find nothing. Nobody is inside.
They sit outside on the steps, when Chloe hears someone call her name, she looks up and it's David. He runs over and hugs her, which Chloe surprisingly returns briefly before asking where her mother is.
David leads them to his car and they drive off towards a familiar barn. David explains that after helping the Police bust Jefferson, he saw the storm forming on the coast and rushed to the Diner. They descend the stairs and find Joyce, Frank, Pompidou, and Warren safe (But all of them are slightly injured).
Chloe is ecstatic to see her mom, and even glad to see Frank and Warren. They spend the night in the bunker using the supplies.
Chloe decides that she's going to take Max back to Seattle to see her parents. They, along with David and Joyce, get in David's car and they begin driving towards Arcadia Bay. As they drive by Blackwell, Max watches out the window, David pulls over. He gets out and says he has a job, and says goodbye to the three women in the car. Joyce continues driving and they eventually get to Chloe's truck.
By now the fires have been extinguished and the roads cleared mostly, so Max and Chloe say bye to Joyce and get in the truck to drive off.
This is where you get to the scene you see in the ending.
>>127411413
You are either gay or asexual then.
>>127411413
how do you know what they're like?
>>127411323
And they get murdered and have their bodies dumped in a lake. Because that what's happens with most rapes on the streets.
>>127411481
Come to think about it the Chloe ending scene is stupid as fuck.
Don't they at least take some time to walk on foot to anaylse the destruction? Do they simply assume everyone just died.
>>127411535
when i gave ur mom a visit she spilled all the info from her night with the devs lmao
>>127411323
>there's no story where Max and Chloe rescue Victoria and Kate from the rubble of Arcadia Bay, turn them into sex slaves and go around pimping them out to everyone, while on a road trip back to seattle which accidentally went entirely the wrong way and ended up in las vegas
>>127411120
>>127411413
They should have a Harold and Kumar type adventure while going to Seattle.
>>127411640
It would be more fun to have them be sold into sex slavery. They are separated and then months or years later they meet again after lots of torture and abuse and then >>127411413 can have his happy ending.
>>127411678
That's why that ending is so damn infuriating. It gives no closure. It's stupid and even with the budget issues Dontnod claims they should have been able to think of something. But instead they said to use your imagination.
Which is why my brain filled in the gaps.
>>127411490
No I'm not..
>>127411535
Oh come on
>>127411481
>>127411829
Good point. I should take that into consideration
>>127411835
What that sounds like a plot from a Japanese hentai.
>>127412139
So without any proper sexual tension how do you make this thing interesting? Are you aiming your fanfic toward pre-teen middleschoolers?
>>127412408
How do you define "sexual tension"?
>>127411203
>>127412496
I mean he wants to write a story without any characters having sex or forcing themselves on one another, how do you make that interesting? Are Max and Chloe just gonna be friends? That is something a beta would only write.
>>127412408
Hmm.. Well maybe there will be some lesbo scences, but no hardcore rape or whatever.
>>127412774

Where's the tragedy if everyone we know survives ? No one cares about nameless npcs.
>>127415054
Fucks sake, stop.
>>127415054
>Where's the tragedy
What happened to Rachel, Kate, and Nathan.
Chloe's life after her father died and Max left.
Max seeing her friends dying repeatedly.
Max having to see what happens if she saves William and then having to knowingly send him to his death to undo the changes.
Max's idol turning out to be a psycho.
Chloe digging up the girl she loved in the same junkyard the two of them hungout at.
This game has plenty of tragedy without the bullshit storm. But since they just had to the tornado, they could have at least been competent with it.
>>127413853
>>127415054
>>127415561
Welp, nothing we can do about it now. Max's story is over.
>>127416498
That's a really, say half ass way of saying, "well we done what we could have done. Let's move on and leaves the fans hanging."
>>127415561
>Max's idol
Does Max ever finger herself thinking of Jefferson?
>>127416596
Yup. It should just had Michel Koch after the credits saying "Well, that's it for Max's story. Chloe's dead... or alive depending on your choice. We hope you enjoyed our game. Oh, and make sure to keep an eye out for any future projects we have on the way. Goodnight everybody." *waves*

>I find it more likely he was "in love", or rather "obsessed" in some way, with Rachel and later possibly started to develop similar feelings for Max too. But didn't want to repeat what happened with Rachel and so he warned Max. Maybe his hostility always was to scare her off and suppress his own feelings.
I definitely think he became obsessed with Max and was trying in his own probably unconscious way to scare her away from danger, and getting pissed off that she wouldn't take the hint and kept coming after him, but I can't see him having feelings for her. They don't really interact on any level where something like that could develop, and Nathan has so much other shit on his mind. I can see him easily becoming infatuated with someone like Rachel, because she makes it so easy, but Max is just a dopey nobody. Even if a lot of people secretly respect her and find her cute, she's not the sort of person that commands such infatuation that it'd break through to someone in Nathan's position. If he had any feelings for her other than anger and fear, I think it would have just been projecting what he remembered of Rachel, rather than perceiving who Max really was and being attracted to that.
I feel like the reason he warned her is because he felt guilt for what he had done, and since he perceived her as having it out for him, he was resigned to his guilt and vindicating her suspicion. She already knew the score, and he was just finally giving in to her pursuit of answers.
With Vic, he'd be dumping information on her that she didn't ask for and wouldn't know what to do with, and as you said revealing a really ugly side of himself to the one person who still gives a shit. Even if it would save her, it'd hurt her, and he can't face that even if it's necessary.

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
>>127411678
Either endings (conslucion of the story) stupid as fuck.
But they gave us those endings already, so we can't do anything about it. Even they couldn't make an effort to whole episode; either endings for example in Bay endingjust like 'tragic' spanish soap opera endingsthey completely used old locations.Was it emotional? *Max smiles with death eyes* sorry but no.
In Bae ending ; buildings are still up, roads are well even after 'magic' tornado hit the town, we can't say that 'holy shit everybody's ded'.
>>127421007
Don't forget that the consensus here seems to be that Max would go back even if she let Chloe die and save her at some point after the funeral.
And there's no reason to assume she doesn't have her power still, and won't cause another storm by doing something she could only do because she learned it with the rewind. Now if they showed a scene of her testing them and realizing that they were gone, that would solidify her choice that Chloe is dead and Max will have to move on with that.
But since she still has them, she will go back.
>>127421339
>>127421604
This story seems to be going that route.
http://archiveofourown.org/works/5625166/chapters/12956800
Starts off pretty depressing, and the author says it will get more so, but maybe everything will be alright in the end.
>>127421938
>>127421604
Honestly , if we compare her smiles in Bae and Bay ending, she seems more happier in Bae. I dunno if it's shitty animation or something but it seems really creepy in Bay and actually i found it kind of strange. I mean when she saw the butterfly she suddenly smiled; but looks like forced herself to smile, i know that butterfly symbolizes Chloe but still, is it normal? If you ask to me, it looks like ''ur gon die like a bitch in there, all of you''

Yeah, a "We'll meet again Chloe. Sooner than you think." vibe can be read in Bay ending.
>>127423162
Yeah? I meant ''she went nuts in Bay ending''.
Any update Nova on the new chapter or are we back to the 10th and 25th?
DON'T DIE /LESG/!!!!!
WAKE UP WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sup nerds, long time no see.
I've been watching Twin Peaks over the last few weeks because everyone talking about LiS would also drop a line about TP at some point.
well, turns out all those peoplehave shit taste.
>the only thing LiS and TP have in common is the mere fact that they take place in a small town
>there's not even a missing girl mystery in TP because she's dead in episode 1
>LiS has mysteries, TP has weirdness for the sake of weirdness (Cooper's dreams)
>all that time wasted with the stupid and boring subplots in TP (good thing I started skipping forward 5 minutes everytime one of the side characters showed up)
Twin Peaks should have ended after the father died and even then I'd only it a 5/10 because it's slow, boring and unimaginative and aged horribly. with all the extra bullshit in the second half of season 2 I give it a 4/10 "not worth watching".in case you you liked TP and think my rating system is off, here's my rating for LiS for comparison:
Episode 1: 7/10 Solid start and world-building, a bit short in retrospect.
Episode 2: 6/10 Yunkyard was okay although there could have been more experimentation with the rewind. Game couldn't make me care too much about Kate's subplot, it became just a simple checklist of things you had to say to save her.
Episode 3: 8/10 Spending time with Chloe was great. Ending of the episode was a bit ham-fisted.
Episode 4: 9/10 Finally starting the real investigation which came to a surprisingly quick finish after only 1-2 days (should have maybe kicked off more in episode 3 already to make it last longer).
Episode 5: 5/10 Jumping through multiple photos was nice (I expected only 1 really) and the nightmare sequence was interesting albeit a bit long and not very challenging at the labyrinth part. Telegraphed ending that should go on the "list of things that didn't happen".
Overall: 7/10Thanks for reading my blog :^)
>>127427384
>Overall: 7/10
forgot: 9/10 when counting in the months of theories and shitposting with you guys :)
>>127427384
>Jumping through multiple photos was nice (I expected only 1 really)
>>127427579
yeah, the theory back then was that David would kick the door in right at the start, Max is free and jumps through the photo Warren took to, iunno, warn people about the storm.
regarding the locations spoiler that was out back then, the plane and san francisco gallery sections could've (and looking back should've) been one of the endings.
>>127427563

Victoria is best girl, yes, but she is the best girl as much as Chandler is the best boy in Friends. He's awesome and so is she, but she's not at her full potential without Maxine; kinda like Chandler doesn't work the same without Joey.

>>127427935
>the theory back then was that David would kick the door in right at the start,
most people realised that we would use the contest photo to escape (although thought that Jefferson would still be free to accompany Max, and she'd have to eas cape from the contest for that reason)
Looking back we were still kind of dumb though, we thought we'd go from to contest to the photo wall focus to the middle of the Storm in Chloe's truck with Chloe alive (never thinking Max might drive), completely forgetting that reused locations don't show up on the early sub leaks.
>>127429425
>Looking back we were still kind of dumb though

>>127427384
The Returned season 2 has finally started in Aus and it hit me that it has a few overlaps with LiS and Twin Peaks and might be something people are interested in moving on to. Not huge parallels, but still.
It's French, Mogwai did the entire soundtrack, it has some casual lesbians, brilliant atmosphere, beautiful visuals, fairly intriguing characters and setup, and the story is completely incomprehensible but in a more tolerable 'fuck it, just go with it, don't even try to figure it out' way rather than a horrific 'try and solve our mystery - haha just kidding, fuck it, the butler did it. btw you weren't enjoying these characters were you? Too bad, they're dead. Maybe:)' kinda way.
>>127429303
Erm, what.. Is it a fanfic?
Hey guys, Life Is Strange has links to social workers you can call if you've been effected by issues/themes of the game.

>>127429425
>we thought we'd go from to contest to the photo wall focus to the middle of the Storm in Chloe's truck with Chloe alive
Some of us also thought about that storm in Chloe is truck with Chloe alive location , 'we probably would help people and say goodbye to Joyce'
They replaced somethings with Episode 4. JeffersonCar: Originally probably we'd go to junkyard(?) with Jefferson or just investigate his car. But they cut it. (also cut anon tried to run this scene, but he couldn't manage it)
In Episode 5 Jefferson probably'd hide Chloe's truck in the farm and Max'd drive it instead of Jefferson's car. That's it.

Kate is best girl.
Chloe is irredeemable shit. Sacrificing her was the easiest decision I made in that game.

Chloe was never my favourite character, but come the fuck on anon! I don't think even Warren deserves a label like "irredeemable shit". That's something you reserve for truly heinous characters like The Catalyst.

He's just irritating and pointless and trying to muscle in on our lesbians, so it's become a sort of running joke to act like he's literally the worst thing in the world.
>>127437658
Sounds to me like your typical 18 year old nerd. Maybe I see too much of myself in him to hate him. Maybe I understand why he acted that way, and maybe I have hopes for him to get his shit together like me.
I never expected the game to be scientifically accurate in the least, though, so I didn't care about the chemical reactions. Still crazy to throw an alkali metal in water and put your head over it.
Also, I always had the impression he was a /b/tard.

Eh, you can't change the past anyways, so why be embarassed? I suppose the people who hate him for that are the ones who are that or just above his age.

Can you remind me more datfeel games like LiS?
Going out to watch the most recent Star Wars.
Hopefully it doesn't feel like as much as a kick in the dick as Polarized did. But after some of the stuff in the prequels, I suppose it can't get any worse.I heard it's pretty much a re-write of A New Hope
>>127444025
It is but honestly I think it was a pretty fun movie. It probably won't go down in history as a classic like the originals but it was more or less what everyone was hoping to see. And after a year of disappointments like Polarized it really did feel kind of refreshing to watch a good Star Wars movie after all these years.
>>127443791
well there's the memecore Telltale games, or even the memier Gone Home
>>127417762
I agree for the most part. In any case it wouldn't yet be a particularly strong feeling, nor would he necessarily be all too aware of what it really is. But I do think there's reason to believe he started to take some form of infatuation with her. Precisely because he has so much other shit on his mind: Why would he then go and deal with Max so much? As Max says herself, he has no reason to be scared of her, really. And he still pursues her, works on that photo montage, wrecks her room, steals her selife, sends her texts... The willingness to talk to her at all in the diner also always striked me as strange. It's like he talks despite not wanting to talk, which is obvious when he blurts out things like the blood oath. What drives him to talk? Max was certainly not using superpowers to systematically puzzle those things out of him, so it must just be the effect she has on him?
But that's just a way I can see him having or starting to have feelings for her. I wouldn't go as far as to say it was definitely intended here or that it couldn't be interpreted in a very different way.
And yeah, as for not warning Victoria, it must be that he was just too ashamed of himself and apparently that shame was bigger than anything he felt for her, bigger than his fear of death and fear for her...
>>127444349
Gone Home slayed me.
My god.
But it is not LiS feel at all. Its definitely not comfy
Every night when I try to sleep, I daydream a bit about Max. And she's always depressed in them, either she's gone loco because she killed Chloe, or she feels intense guilt for killing the whole town.
>>127445560
Try imagining that Episode 5 didn't happen.
>>127445647
I often picture Max, either waking up in the middle of the night, from a nightmare, crying about how she missed Chloe. Or sitting in the bench by the lighthouse, tears flowing down her cheeks. Or just talking to Chloe's gravestone, on the verge of crying.
Either that or, waking up in the middle of the night with Chloe by her side, frantically hugging her and whimpering "I killed them Chloe, I killed them..", or just staring outside the motel room, looking at the vast sandy town and the rundown shophouses, thoughtfully.
Man its so depressing.
>>127446225
Write a better ending then so you have that to think about.It's what I did
>>127439446
Ugh so true. I've known so many niceguys™. They're annoying as fuck and Warryn reminded me of them wayy to much. Especially the texting part.

Is it even possible to drive from "Arcadia Bay", which is set around Oregon, to Seattle? I live in a pretty small city so I have no idea how week long road trips work.
>>127447202
I cringe so hard at my past self for that same reason. Trust me, you could've been worse. I wasn't just a clingy creep but I would also whine to our common friends how she was a slut just because she would flirt with me while having a boyfriend (although it was just that, playful flirting, and I never really was "one of her options" as I so wanted to believe).
>>127444025
It was fun and I love Rei and BB-8, but it's pretty muchA New Hope beat to beat. I laughed so hard when George Lucas called Disney white slaver because of it.
>>127447202
At least you're aware of it. Girls don't like that shit. There was this guy from my group project last semester that wouldn't stop texting me or asking me 20 questions. So annoying.
>>127447561
Yeah, easily.
Look at google maps son.. Some people were saying ages back that Coos Bay in Oregon might be the closest one could get to Arcadia. It also has a school called Marshfield, and another called Price Elementary IIRc, so its pretty fitting.
It's only a six hour drive from Coos Bay (with is about midway up Oregon's coast) up to Seattle.
Pretty easy trip desu, its kinda funny what a big deal it is to Chloe and Max.
>>127447202
>>127447682
Did anyone ever tell you "Please leave me alone. I don't like you like that." and you still kept clinging?
Because I don't get how otherwise bitching about people being interested in you makes you anything but an idiot at best. "Can't this guy take a hint?!" - Well, if he hasn't for the 100th time, I'd wager, no, he cannot. So just tell him. Max didn't tell Warren either. Leading people on because you are too much of a wussy to tell them what's up makes you as much a "goodguy" as obliviously pursuing you does them.
