Lonely Chloe Edition
Previous Thread: >>148147440
Life is Strange is an episodic interactive drama from DONTNOD Entertainment.

Did you shoot Frank? Did he deserve to get shot, just in the knee, or not at all?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1LHUl850mk
>>148319253
Of course not, Frank is a sweetheart, just a little rough around the edges. Also, Pompidou is a qt.
>>148317308
We really need to put :
Reminder to hide and ignore any Warryncucks. If you wish to post about Warren, please take it to /v/ or /y/ instead.

Go >>148319140 Newfags should never make a thread.
>>148319520
:3
>>148319601
What's your point? It wasn't linked to in the old thread until after the image limit, 9 seconds before you posted your link.
>>148319806
>your link
>implying
>>148319253
I managed not to shoot him, but had to rewind a few times. I also killedPompidouthe first time :(
What do we think will be in season 2 that related to season 1? Anything?
>>148319501
He's violent, pedals drugs, and threatens teenagers, as well as using blackmail.
You're retarded.
>>148320253
Tbqh I personally would like S2 to be a continuation of S1, with the same protagonists+ obviously new characters, but that's unlikely, they want completely new characters.
>>148320365
Well yeah we all would, but they've already confirmed that's not happening. We're going to get some fresh imagination instead.
>muh hugbox
reminder that Warren did literally nothing wrong. All the triggered numale cucks and whores need to fuck right off.
>>148320310
He's angry and acts tough, but he was good to Rachel and never actually hurt anyone. And Chloe "used blackmail" too, so that's not really valid.
>>148320565
>this false flagging
Ugh why does it have to be this way
>>148320781
He pedals drugs, and threatens teenagers, you retard.
He did a lot wrong.
>>148320781
>he has a different opinion then me how dare he
>he must be false flagging!
Neck yourself m8
>>148320916
Selling drugs isn't evil, and Chloe wanted to shoot him and steal from the handicapped fund at various points in the game so don't paint her as innocent.
>>148320969
The fact that you're purposely misunderstanding the term just makes it more obvious.
>>148321162
>WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH *more crybullying*
Neck yourself cunt
>>148321162
Selling drugs is evil you degenerate piece of shit
>>148321521
That's beautiful but I'm not sure how Chloe-like that face is.
What do you think Max and Chloe thought of at night before they went to sleep pre-lis? Did they think about the universe? The people around them? Did they have any concept of sonder or introspection?
>>148321503
Personally, I think blaming your friend for the drugs you were doing is worse, but you're entitled to your opinion.
>>148321734
If it was to the police then I would agree, but it was to step-douche. The impact of Max admitting it to him would be much less than if Chloe did.
>>148321727
Yes
Max probably thought of home a lot and introvert stuff
Chloe probably thought about her endless problems
>>148321734
>so called newfag's trying to explain events in-game
how cute
dunked on Warren the entire game, nerd was a player
>>148321734
Taking the blame for a joint, consensually with a friend, so as not to have your friend deal with an overbearing parent is not comparable.
You're objectively wrong.
So does Max lose her powers at the end of the game?
>>148321734
>>148321162
>selling drugs to kids isn't evil
>but without thinking, wanting to your childhood friend protect you over your step-dad (because you don't want to cause any argument) is worse (which's Joyce appreciated this behaviour afterwards -if you defended her-)
>either Max and Chloe were knowing that it's principal's *so-called* handicapped money
>also Frank wasn't the one who attacked Max with the knife (b-but he's tough)

>they didn't work out how to hide in the closet
>they didn't leap out and heroically defend their friend against dickbag stepdad having a meltdown about a joint
what a pussy desu
>>148322770
Why would she?
>>148321162
>Selling drugs isn't evil, and Chloe wanted to shoot him and steal from the handicapped fund at various points in the game so don't paint her as innocent.
Did you even play this ga-
Nah nevermind. I'm not gonna argue with this retard.
stay in this thread
>>148147440
>>148322829
Because the tornado was because of her using her powers.
She lets Chloe die, it seems to reason that her powers are now gone since no Tornado happens.
Also the ending slide shows her focusing on a ton of Chloe pics as if she's trying to go to the past again
>>148323115
Should we make a new one?
End of dump.
>>148322518
>>148322632
>>148322818
>>148322978
>>148323148
>>148323150
The ending slide is all autopilot Max. She wouldn't know about her focus power, and if I'm remembering right the photos Joyce gives her are just shown to be Chloe's selfies, maybe Joyce wanted Max to be able to see what kind of person her old best friend became before she died, since they never met up again.
>>148323454
No...
>>148323475
>>148323668
>>148323150
>since no Tornado happens
>'til you saw the blue butterfly again
yeah. for now.
>>148323753
Agreed.
>>148323150
>Because the tornado was because of her using her powers.
She can choose to stop using her powers, but that doesn't mean she has lost them.
>>148323148
>undo all of her development, to have her die alone, filled with fury, abandoned by her friend that is missing
>after finding evidence of her sexual abuse
>a few feet away from her best friend that she was never saved by
>not by choice
>she died when she didn't want to die
>in a final act of abandonment
>>148321603
M-maybe it's not her.
Just stay here, you restless retard.
>>148325745
There's no actual discussion here.
>>148324897
I actually do really wish we had seen more of Rachel, and I was really surprised that by the end of the game Max hadn't gone back in time and seen Rachel before she went missing.
>>148325960
I thought she could only time travel to places in her memory.
>>148326229
Actually good point. If she goes really far back she can't travel very far outside the boundaries of the photo.
Chloe looks odd with her "normal" hair.
>>148320365
I think we will get something similar to the rewind power, but not exact the same. I can't think what that would be though.
Is she the queen?
That other thread is dying.
Stay here, my friends.
>>148326935
Now you are acting like that retard.
>>148321727
I want a Chloe prequel :(
>>148320365
How would that work given the ending?
>>148327386
Plenty of unresolved stuff.
>The storm is coming anyway if Chloe died
>What happened to the town?
>Where did Max's powers come from?
>What about the Native Americans?
etc.
>>148327586
Yeah but then wouldn't that mean that Dontnod have to_explicitly_endorse an ending to be canon?
>>148327586
>imagination
>>148327707
Possibly. They could also work around it and end up saving Chloe anyway.
>>148327784
...What do you mean? She was buried.
>>148328096
Magic time powers
>>148328135
I guess, but that would negate the highly regarded first season ending.
>>148328395
Indeed that would be a big "fuck you" to the players,as if their "every choice matter" rhetoric and then going 180on it wasn't enough.
>>148328763
I like the idea that another anon mentioned in a previous thread, that season 2 could be the same characters, but in a completely new story/situation. So kind of like a parallel universe, and we get more Max, Chloe, Kate, etc :3
>>148327707
Imagine if they endorsed the save bay ending as canon XD
>>148328395
I'm not going to endorse just shoehorning in the characters but it's possible they could take into account the player's choice from S1 and have it in the context of a wider plot exploring the nature of time travel or other magic powers. I mean how many other sci-fi shows have killed off people only to have them back again with some explainable reason for being so.
My head hurts and I slept five hours last night so I'm not sure.
I think the best way to progress the story easily would be to not completely forget about Max & Chloe, but not focus on them solely either. Perhaps having a new protagonist for S2 that winds the threads of two stories together.
>>148328763
From a production standpoint, choice games are a touch balance. You want the player to feel like their choices matter, but then you don't want to use lots of resources on the later scenes if not all players will see them. I remember how in the Mass Effect series, if you killed off a character and they were meant to return in the next game, they would just be replaced by a very similar character to keep the story the same, but the dialogue a little different. Then usually the ending will be a big choice because then all that's left is a cutscene.
Until Dawn is the only recent game I've played that does the choice thing fairly well.
Wow I completely missed this first time around.
>>148330283
Indeed. Most of these choices only result in more dialogues and added or reduced difficulties in achieving something, but rarely do you see endings really "change" according to your choices.
Heard good things about Until Dawn, I would play itif I had a PS4
What is Joyce thinking?
>>148327716
>>148330975
That there's aliasing in Chloe's hair.
![tumblr_nwj180WmLb1uv37lfo1_540[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/q94pLnl.png "tumblr_nwj180WmLb1uv37lfo1_540[1].png")
>>148329834
>>148328395
In expansion to what I said (knowing I am just kinda rambling for myself now).
Life is Strange has established itself on several themes (in order of strength):
>A game about Arcadia Bay, especially Max and Chloe and their development
>A game about time-travel powers and manipulation of the past
>A coming-of-age tale (in a sci-fi context)
>A point and click game (with a unique artstyle) where choices matter
To really be able to publish a Life is Strange 2, it has to have some connection to the first. How do Dontnod do that? Any of the bottom three would just feel empty without some plot connection. The Walking Dead game got away with an entirely fresh outlook, mechanics and (mostly) cast, but only because theyhanded over to the secondary character, Clementine, and killed Lee off. Without having done that, a new game would feel empty and lazy. It's not as though Life is Strange has a very wide, established universe to run with.
>>148332985
I think they could get away with having little-to-no connect with Arcadia Bay/Max/Chloe, but their new setting/characters really need to be compelling as hell!
Why can't I see the previous thread?
Why were there numerous threads made with stupid stuff in the OPs?
If you see a post you don't like- Ignore it. If someone posts something that breaks rules- ignore and report it.
Some asshole(s) better not be trying to destroy/split /lisg/.
>>148335565
If you don't want to split lisg why are you in this thread then?
>>148326447
That's because it doesn't fit who she is anymore.
It looks fine on an always happy, younger, Chloe. But on an older Chloe it looks out of place since she dyed her hair to make a point and even Alt. Chloe has short hair. In the end, it's just what Chloe's drawn to because in the end she just naturally likes punk looking stuff. Although she took it further after her father died and she met Rachel.
>>148335878
I see. That's unfortunate.
>>148336050
Telling people that they cannot discuss or mention a character from the game in a thread dedicated to that game is entirely unacceptable.
As I said, if you don't like it then ignore and hide it. Don't feed the troll and it goes away.
>>148336163
Jesus enough already. Just let it go. If you want to use that thread then just do so.
Plebbitanons please stay in this thread. Oldfriends move >>148324784
>>148336110
Yeah true I guess it just doesn't fit Chloe's adult personality.
Archiveanon here, in case anyone is worried about the previous thread, it's retrievable by fireden and I've made a copy of it myself just in case.
Cheers..
You're sitting at Two Whales enjoying your favorite pastry when this cutie comes running up and asks for a bite.
What do?
>>148336614
Ha that's actually very well done, but yeah does not fit Max at all.
>>148336657
Thanks :3
>>148336258
>Telling people that they cannot discuss or mention a character from the game in a thread dedicated to that game is entirely unacceptable.
Here we go again. Just saying, that's exactly what HE did to us in previous thread (for shit-stir obviously) And discussing or mentioning a character (as long as no one makes a false representation) from the game aren't our problem.
Also remember, you were the one who suggested us that not mention that character's name.
>>148336728
Ask Joyce to tell her to leave me alone, my pastry is getting cold.
>>148336614
Yup. It looks as foreign on her as the goth stuff looks foreign on Max.
Although if you consider that any change to the distant past could heavily alter the timeline, maybe some change would result in a goth Max. But it would probably be something horrible to change her that drastically and I think Max would be less than thrilled to wake up in that body.
>>148336287
i'm just trying to bring us together
>>148336981
Imagine an alt-Victoria who is very religious and best friends with Kate :3
>>148337203
yessss
>>148335136
Then it would be a different game.
They would have to come in with something that tied LiS2 to the original, otherwise they might as well just call it something else.
I would be perfectly happy if they did that, but it would be doing the original a disservice to proceed it with a tenuous link at best.
>>148337203
I wonder what else would change then. That Victoria most likely would not have done a lot of the things the Victoria we know did, such as bullying numerous people. Maybe she would have even been able to help Nathan more.
>>148337363
>>148336921
>Max, please leave that Anon alone. There's a stack of pancakes waiting for you at your table and Chloe called me to say she'd be here in a few minutes.
>>148337483
And more importantly, Kate would be more happy and content :3
>>148337403
I agree but that is probably what is going to happen given they've said it won't feature Max & Chloe. They will probably just bring back the time rewind mechanic, but maybe with a new twist on it. And maybe the main character will have some slight link to season one's characters, e.g. the main character is Victoria's cousin from a different town. This is all speculation of course, who knows :)
>>148336981
What if Max and Chloe switched roles :3
>>148337669
Kate happiness simulator when?
>>148337982
I agree too that's almost certainly what will happen. It would be, in my opinion, a lazy option though, and an unadventurous one.
>>148338097
It could be cute. But then it possibly means that Max suffered a traumatic loss to change her that much, which is most definitely not cute. Unless their entire personalities were swapped. But then are they really them?
Best to just leave the punk as the punk and the hipster as the hipster to prevent these tough/ unpleasant questions.
>>148338392
This Christmas. Kate DLC.
Play with and feed Alice, play the violin, hug your father, have tea with Max and other friends, draw, take pictures, go to church and pray.
This song would have made a much better song for the bae ending
The lyrics even match up with the story
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwFS69nA-1w
>>148339093
Max's father dies instead of Chloe's I guess. But yeah I'm not suggesting it would be good, I just really like this artwork.
>>148339274
I-I'd play it.
>>148339594
I don't mind that Obstacles was reused since it's a fitting song. I just that there was more effort put into the ending scene for that choice. Maybe shot clips like at the end of Episode 1 where you saw what the characters were doing or what happens a little after Max and Chloe drive out of the town.
There was a lot of potential there that wasn't even touched.
>>148339594
It fits quite well actually.
>>148340082
Completely agree.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hN9TucT5gfk
>>148340082
Yeah it could be incredibly emotional as you see people desperately trying to get away from the storm.
>>148317308
I guess this is the worst /lisg thread ever desu.
>>148339887
I don't mind the artwork either.
I'll just say maybe after everything Max wanted to try new stuff so she let Chloe give her a "punkover" and Max picked out Chloe's clothes. Hair dye and clothes ain't permanent so it's not a problem.
It could be a fun little game to them. Like 'Dress the girlfriend'.
>>148340534
>"Max, I bet you wouldn't last a month as a punk."
"Yeah, well I bet you wouldn't last a month as a hipster"
>"Is that a challenge, Caulfield?"
"No, it's a dare. I dare you to go one month without hair dye, leather, or any other punk stuff."
>"Oh? Well I double dare you to go one month with only that stuff
"You're on."
>>148340254
This is still my favorite fan ending that keep true to what happened in the game. It's doesn't try to answer every question, but it gives enough of an ending to say that they'll be fine.
If Episode 5 did end like Episode 1 then I would have shown:
>Max and Chloe wake up on the cliff after the storm
>In the town there's damage
>Joyce, Frank, Pompidou, and Warren being rescued from the diner
>David and Joyce reuniting
>Victoria in the hospital and Kate walking in the room to visit her
>Police in the junkyard looking over Rachel's grave
>Jefferson sitting in a jail cell, looking defeated
>Max and Chloe drive out of the town as we saw
Still questions and plenty of room for imagination, but it gives more closure to the characters we grew attached to and shows an end to the story.
>>148340993
>Warren's face seeing Max's new look.
>>148341609
What a qt
>>148340993
>>148336981
Wow there's actually a mod, complete with music change -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AcrfVfobcw
>>148341885
There's even fake tattoos that last a few weeks.
Going to be fun when Max walks downstairs and her parents see her. But once they also see Chloe I think they will catch on to what happened.
>>148342274
That's not punk though. That's Emo or Goth.
>>148342482
Unless Chloe changes back...
>>148342482
Yes punk is something else entirely.
>>148342482
>That's not punk though. That's Emo or Goth.
Yeah I know, I don't think England is the modder's first language, so maybe that's why, lost in translation. It's well done though :)
>>148342274
>mod that lets you play as if its 2004 and Max is at the peak of her Evanescence phase
a different kind of nostalgia
>>148342563
Then she loses the dare. And even if they didn't really agree to what the prize/ penalty is, she still wants to prove she can do it.
![tumblr_nyx6tdjjgb1t33jtko1_1280[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/gNGMJNn.jpg "tumblr_nyx6tdjjgb1t33jtko1_1280[1].jpg")
You can get the writers make one change to Max's personality. What do you do?
>>148341446
Imagine if in the bay ending, after the funeral Max goes into her backpack and find this ;_;
>>148342982
Don't lobotomize her half way through the story.
>>148341885
Suits Chloe more than Max tbqhwyf
>>148343007
*vomits from raw emotion*
>>148343007
The what ending?
Sorry, Anon. You're just not making sense right now.
>>148342982
Give her the balls to tell Warryn she isn't interested.
>>148343234
He got the message when she didn't go ape :D
What did she mean by this?
>>148344246
He got the message when he got Chloe's message.
>>148345035
>>148344246
>>148343234
>>148346275
when Chloe tries itit goes differently
>>148346275
That's a really bad way to do a massage
What is this
She should really read up on what's she's doing first, silly girl.
>>148346898
Different's not bad.
But Max must be really tired if Chloe woke up and is more active than her. Best to let her rest.
>>148336728
However endearing her request, this is my pastry and it also feels kind of intimate sharing it with a stranger, cute as she may be. So, instead, I take her to the pastry vitrine and tell her to pick one out. She wants everything. I end up buying 5 pieces of pastry, one of each. Much to the pleasure of the blonde lady working the counter. That's like 12 dollars girl, you better finish those.
At least she's beaming at me gratefully now, and I can't help but feel that makes up for it and return the smile. I tell her to enjoy them and make to sit back at my table to enjoy mine. My coffee's gone half-cold already. Suddenly the girl drops her plates on my table and sits opposite to me, in the same booth. She introduces herself as Max, and while she is a handful years younger than me, between her intermittent rambling and nibbling on her pastries, I really start to notice how pretty she is, inside and out. For a moment I think maybe I've met someone here, but then her ramblings drift from the topic of photography to someone named "Chloe", and it becomes increasingly obvious that the two are a thing. I actually sense a little disappointment at that.
But when this Chloe actually comes and joins us a few minutes later, all that is wiped away by a sense of genuine delight over how perfectly in love they are; Chloe stealing bites of Max's pastries, both exchanging glances and going back and forth effortlessly, not really being able to concentrate on me anymore over how busy they are, physically and otherwise, with each other.
Eventually they leave together - something about taking Max to Chloe's cave. I can only wonder.
I go to pay for my coffee and muffin and the blonde lady ringing me up, Joyce as I now learn, sighs fondly and asks whether the two aren't just lovely together. I agree, and she responds that they deserve it, been through a lot.
I leave, thinking it's great how love has found its way here again after that tornado hit just two months ago.
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12007315/10/I-Know-that-Life-is-Strange
Well at least Chloe's back now and fully trusts Max. Poor Kate though, it must be really hard to go back and see her so depressed and hopeless. Unless Victoria does something drastic then Kate is still going to end up on the roof and Max or Victoria WILL have to meet her there to save her.
I'm also dreading how Chloe is going to react when she starts learning more about Rachel and realizes that Max knew already.
>>148348468
You're a good person, Anon.
There was some dark times after that tornado, along with that nasty business with the teacher drugging girls,but Arcadia Bay has come far. The town's coming back and little acts of kindness like yours speed it up. Joyce was talking about them too, turns out Chloe is her daughter.
I've also seen Max and Chloe myself. Most recently at the parking lot by the trail to the lighthouse. Chloe was skateboarding and Max was taking pictures, until Chloe wiped out and Max went to comfort her. I was going to ask if they needed help but it was clear that the biggest injury was some hurt pride.
WHO THE FUCK WROTE THIS!? WHICH ONE OF YOU MOTHER FUCKERS WAS IT!?
>>148347554
You really think Max is an expert and knows better? She's just trying to do what she's seen on tv and stuff. It's the thought that counts.
>>148349671
That's very rude.
>>148349671
Why did you crop the screenshot? It said "Max's bones" after that.
>>148349489
No, you're a good person!
The night here apparently was pretty crazy, but when I came back this evening, what really upset me, was seeing only that one lame sullen reply to your super cutepost.
>>148351095
YOU DID IT DIDN'T YOU!? ADMIT IT!
>>148346275
What would Joyce say if she walked in?
>>148351763
Your little story made me smile.
I went to sleep last night and woke up to see that all hell had broken loose. Shame since the last thread had a lot of good discussion earlier on. But things seemed to have stabilized now and cuteposting has returned.
>>148352458
"Oh, it's girls tonight, Chloe?"
>>148352753
At least it seemed exciting. Rare these days that you come back to hundreds of posts. Actually made me nostalgic for the days when I'd spend the first twenty minutes catching up on all the /lisg/ action.
And we will always return to cuteposting, eventually.
>Your little story made me smile.
Great! That's all I wanted to accomplish. I know you love little optimistic post-tornado stories, and the initial post made me smile.
>>148352458
Maybe like pic related.
>>148352458
"Oh Hello, Max. Didn't realize you stayed the night. You enjoying that, Chloe?"
*Chloe facedown in matress* muffled "mmhmm" with a slight nod of her head
"Sorry Joyce, I should have asked permission to stay."

*Max continues her work and starts to crack Chloe's back, resulting in a loud noise* there's a muffled moan from Chloe
*Joyce winces slightly* "Well I have to be getting to work. Have fun you two, there's coffee made downstairs. Stop by Two Whales if you get hungry later."
"Thanks, Joyce. Have a good day." *Chloe briefly raises her face from the matress* "Bye, mom. Love ya." *plants her face back where it was*
"Love you too, kid." *Exit Joyce*

Having second thoughts about that pic
look like Chloe is asking for Max's lunch money, but Max is unexpectedly fighting back.

I guess her right bewb is being lifted up with her arm, and then the artist forgot to do the same for the other side in the last panel...

It felt like Chloe was everywhere for Max, every facet of her shown through different characters.
>>148357762
>Delighted to see rilechu drew LiS again.
It's from last year tho. She's doing overmeme now. Apparently.
>>148358295
Fucking overmeme. Can't stand that sodding game.
>>148358295
Oh. Never saw that one. Or maybe I just didn't submit it to memory as I'm not big on Splatoon.
>>148357907
Could we interpret everything, the whole game to become one big allegory for her realization of their feelings for each other? Solar eclipses, double moons; being each other's sun, orbiting each other, ... - there's something there.
>>148358543
Why "overmeme"?
>>148358543
Well, I'm not going to go looking for fanart for it, that's for sure.
>>148358816
Well, the writers actually confirmed that they wanted to show Chloe through the characters, representing her own social fears, and her sense of identity contrasting Chloe's.
>>148358816
I never really got the eclipses and double moons.
A storm being caused by a butterfly makes some sense. The rest!?
>>148358919
Overmeme, as in, it has been over-memed.
Every so often there is a game that comes along that just over-saturates everywhere it touches.
Overwatch is currently that game. I wouldn't mind if I could avoid it, but I can't seem to. Everywhere is filled will le ebin fanart of Widowmaker in exactly the same poses. It's bland, oversexualised rubbish that will die out in a few years time.I'll admit it's mildly fun to play.

Right?
Where did they say that, by the way? Because establishing different stereotypes and working with those distinctively was something they said they'd set out to do as well.
>>148359338
>The rest!?
Exactly. There's literally a spirit doe walking around, twin moons and random eclipses popping up... and people still don't see that we are blatantly dealing with native magic here. Which is why I still value theories to do with Rachel, the Prescotts, old pacts and oaths, family feuds, and such.
>>148359338
Well, at least now you can be excited that there will be a pokemon renaissance.
>>148359385
Real classy, Victoria.
>>148361290
Shut the fuck up.
>>148361290
No, I meant Chloe.
Contrasting Max with Chloe's.
>>148361290
I guess it would make sense in the context of Native Americans.
Pokemon renaissance? Huh. Never played any of the games but it's already everywhere so maybe I will filter it out.
>>148361453
I would consider concurring with your proposition if I understood why you were so rude.
>>148361560
Got it now.
I vaguely remember something like that having been said somewhere, indeed. But obviously there's a long way from that to undertstanding everything allegorically. Although I guess for Max, it's not so long.
>>148361957
In the context of that Hopi prophecy, specifically. Well, more sense at least.
Yeah. Not that I'm big on Pokemon either, but haven't you heard? This mobile game is taking off.

>>148362271
Yes it looks pretty fun. But I have an old-ish phone with pay-as-you go (no friends to text tbqh), as well as the fact I live in a rural area, so not really much chance of me playing it.
>>148362702
I won't either. Though maybe the (crossover) fanart will be less bland.
Favorite songs? I'd probably have to say Mt. Washington, but To All of You is definitely a close second.
>>148365507
Pianofire and Something Good were my favorites from the game. Obstacles had a special place.
Glass Walls and On My Side were best trailer songs.
>>148359338
Those always overstay their welcome. One downside to its popularity is that there's probably some awesome piece of fanart that's buried under a ton of shit and porn.
>The rest
Max's time powers were local to Arcadia Bay and her using them desynced the region. Double moon was just a mirage from light taking two different paths.

I didn't like her voice and manner of singing. It just grated me a bit. It was sort of relaxing but not at the same time.

None of them, if there is an aspect I don't want to remember from the game it's the soundtrack. Too much feels is no-no for me, and has been for many years...

Very true, but it fits with the identity of the place (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcadia_(utopia)). The unreal setting is a big part of the game's appeal for most people, I think.

>>148369576
I'm not sure why Spanish Sahara was on the Soundtrack. It wasn't in the game.
Maybe it was going to be played for Nathan when he got a larger role and had to face his past actions and abandoned his "family destiny" to help his friends. Even if he knew it may have meant his own death.
>>148369420
>magic
Consider this then:
Scientists discover a new particle that interacts with matter and causes it to experience the passage of time via inflicting momentum. This momentum causes the particles that make up the matter move on their "destined" paths. Those time particles decay, but they're emitted anew as energy created from the movement of matter.
Max emits a burs of anti-particles to those, causing particles to reverse their paths. Those anti-particles of time combine with regular particles of time, and when it happens the energy is radiated as heat, light, or film burn fragment shader fx.
But as those particles also decay, the effect is localized, depending on the amount of anti-particles created.
You always have to suspend your disbelief when dealing with science fiction. Because otherwise you'd have to conclude that the millenium falcom moved with the aid of magic and not a hyperspace engine or whatever.
>>148370258It plays when you kill chloe in the end
I think Max's power is tied to the Natives and specifically the blood oath Frank and Rachel took.
I don't know if it's something that others in history have had or if Max is the first.
was it ever explained at Victoria had against Rachel in the first episode?
>>148370857

>>148369576
>big part of the game's appeal
Of course.
Note that I am not criticizing the game for the magical realism-type elements. Or straight up magic, for that matter. I actually enjoyed that in the game and was upset the writers didn't go anywhere with it in the end. I'm just saying a lot of what happens must be magical in nature. Even if we accept time travel powers, as time travel narratives commonly expect from the audience, there's still stuff that doesn't make scientific sense. And between that stuff and the native american references thrown all over the game symbolically and environmentally, I think it's obvious there's something there that doesn't meet the eye. Stuff like an evil spirit (Pazuzu) being responsible for the storm, and someone having summoned and unleashed him upon Arcadia following the Hopi prophecy (Rachel or Sean, for example).

>_500
[Expression of disgust]
>>148370461
Suspension of disbelief, sure. But then everything ever could be sci-fi, rather than magic. Even things outright defying physics as we know it could be. I'm just saying to me there were clear intentions here for magical aspects of the narrative, and find those more interesting to think about than how it could somehow scientifically work out. (Plus, the twin moon's light would have to wander, right? Rather than blink out of existence.)
>>148371063
No. But that's one of the neat things about the game. A lot of stuff between the lines. I think it had to do with Nathan and Jefferson specifically, and beyond that, everybody liking her. Everything came easy to this girl that seemingly didn't even try.
And then I can also see that maybe there was a crush there? Homolust creeping into Victoria that she hated herself, and projectedly her subject of affection for (later Max, obviously).

I would rather say supernatural instead of magical. I get your point of view, but disagree. I think it could all be tied neatly with science, but dontnod fucked up and episode 5 happened.

>>148370632
But anon, there were only one ending: the ending where Chloe gets shot and Max gets drugged.
>>148371570
I should add, I chose discussions for only his role in the game because Grahamscott just invites further shitposting, probably just as bad as Warryn getting paired with anyone else, but there's always gonna be that one retard who shitposts.
>>148371570
I would gladly pass on senseless Warren discussion if simultaneously mindless Warryn memeing disappeared. Do what the game should have and make him inexistent.
>>148371891
It could. I don't think we disagree, we just have different preferences I guess. I preferred the magical aspects and references. The sci-fi was very lackluster.
>>148371272
The spirit doe is heavily implied to be Rachel, and appears either during visions of the storm or when in the Junkyard. Meaning that she's linked to Max's power, which was given to Max specifically for three reasons:
To save Chloe and make her happy, to solve the mystery of what happened to Rachel and other girls, and to help people before the storm.
The only thing I have no idea or thoughts about is how the storm came about. If there were people Rachel cared about in Arcadia Bay then she wouldn't want them to be killed. Unless her death and association with the Natives just created a large influx of power and raw emotion from all those she was friends with. The storm is obviously beyond Max or Chloe since it's still happening in a timeline where Chloe and Rachel never met and where Max never had any powers. But Rachel was still presumably with Frank (Who also took the oath)
