>What is your new year's resolution?
Treat every work of fiction I see with suspicion and weariness. Especially if it was made by French people.
Here's to the last thread of the year. And to the coming year.
May it be prosperous and enjoyable to you all and may this community stay active. Creating and sharing content until we have the return of the characters we all know and love.
Happy New Year from Kate's family!
>>127058147
Max you need to do something about those bags under your eyes, a girl needs to take care of herself.
>>127058504

Happy new year /lesg/.

Fuck this gay earth.
In real time, Max and Chloe would have been together now for a little over two years.
I wonder what they would have done in that time and what state Arcadia Bay would be in.
>>127063862
>what state Arcadia Bay would be in.
FUBAR most likely.
>>127063862
They went to Max's parents in Seattle immediately after the storm. Max finished photography school while Chloe went to technical school to learn tattooing.
They went on a cross country road trip and now have a small apartment in Seattle. Max does photography work for local magazines while Chloe works at a tattoo parlor.
>>127064781
Sean would be about done fixing it up and selling off after 2 years.
Kate and Alice spin-off when?
>>127065383
>tfw we will never see Max trick Kate into eating Alice
why
live
>>127065461
Leave Alice alone. She's a good little bunny.
>>127063862
Max is now a real life superhero, fighting crime in the big city and she wears an embarassingly sexy costume designed by Chloe.
happy new year /lisg/!
>>127065461
End your life.

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...

vampyr easter egg?
>>127068906
>what the fuck is this?
Poor quality bait.
>>127068906
No one wants to watch your movies Warryn.
>>127065014
Was going to reply earlier, had to go do something.
I like that idea, and it's really similar to what my own thoughts were. It seems realistic. I also like to think Chloe's 2014 resolution was to quit smoking, and she's done it.
They go back to Arcadia Bay every few months to see how the reconstruction is going and to visit Joyce and David. Joyce got injured in the storm but she recovered after a stay in the hospital. Both of them and Chloe have a newfound respect between each other and they're the closest they're been as a family. David and Chloe still aren't super close and always seeing eye-to-eye, but they no longer argue over every little thing or use childish names.
>>127066220
That's an interesting idea. But it would mean Max would need to learn how to control her powers without causing horrible things to happen. I feel like she would be able to do it, but it would take trial and error.
Speaking of costumes. I saw art of her and Chloe wearing that stuff from that Miraculous Ladybug show. It's French but I was thinking of giving it a watch.
>>127068906
Nathan's video projector
>>127069014

>>127070605
I know the thread is a little slow right now, but you don't need to try to bait it into being quicker.
>>127070605
She's alive in both endings anon. Either straight away in bae or a bit after the funeral once Max snaps and goes back again.
>>127069716
Yes. Not sure why they didn't bother to look it up.
>>127069235
Except everyone else they know is dead and no one's going to waste their time rebuilding that shithole town.

I miss Pricefield. Post cute please.
>>127071549
>Hopefully 2016 goes quick so I can be positive for a few hours again in 2017
Even if Season 2 does come out in 2017 you know it's going to end up being shit. The only question is when it will start to suck.
>>127071171
That's why they rebuild it. It's a chance to build something that doesn't suck and isn't reliant on the Prescotts.
>>127071549
>still being emotionally affected by video games
Same here, anon. I'm 24 and this game killed my emotions.
>>127071549
>>127071760
A waste of time and money. The economy was already going to shit with the town's ecological problems. Most of the people who might have felt any connection to the town are gone and the survivors would be better off moving on.
>>127071549
>tfw you are 30 this year and being emotionally affected only by a video game
Why are real people so generic.
>>127071209
It's not shipping when it's the canon pairing, you silly Warrencuck.
>>127071209
You are aware of the fact that there is no ending where Max gets together with Warren right?
>>127072721
Is somebody holding a gun to your head forcing you to reply? I genuinely cannot see any reason for doing so other than an eagerness to shit stir.
>>127072949

What is wrong with being emotionally affected by video games? This one even had mocap and voice acting, not being emotionally affected would actually be weirder. Not that you should care either way.
Have a happy new year bros.

>>127074620
>Game
I've only just started on the Witcher 3 and Bloodborne so I can't really comment on those. I guess I'd settle on MGSV. It is definitely flawed in a number of areas but I still had a lot of fun with it and in a year of disappointing releases it still delivered a worthwhile experience.
>Movie
Probably The Martian or The Force Awakens. The former was the first good Ridley Scott movie in ages and the latter was a nice return to form for the Star Wars franchise (though it went a bit overboard with the parallels to A New Hope).
>Album/Song
Don't really listen to much music so I'll just settle for the soundtrack to Life is Strange. Obstacles, To All of You and Mt Washington were my favourites. I also liked Glass Walls and Progress to Power from the Episode 1 and 5 trailers.

>>127075490
>>127074620
>Game
Most fun is definitely Rocket League, LiS probably the most memorable though.
>Movie
Not a big movie guy, South Park season was fantastic though
>Album
The licensed songs in LiS. Haven't been into that sort of music since high school but now I'm getting back into it.
>>127075492
>Spectre (pls no hate)
I fell asleep on that movie. lol
>>127074620
Game: Life is strange (I've mad as much peace with the endings as I ever will- the anger is not just disappointment and longing for what could have been). Only other new game I've played this year is World of Warships.
Movie: The Martian. Going to see Star Wars next week, my mind is open but I already know about some things in it.
Album: Skill in Pills by Lindemann. Favorite song off it was Yukon.

>>127082000
>it's purely sexual.
Yo....
>>127082123
Yes. I just want to lick up all of Max's nose blood for my own sexual kicks.
I don't believe you can get time travel powers by consuming someone else' blood.
>>127082876
I don't want powers, I just want to lick up her blood to appease my penis.
>>127082876
I snickered at the filename
>>127074620
Game: GTA 5 and LiS
Movie: None really. Maybe Lucy? Is that from 2015 though. Can't remember
Album: Too many to list, but Ulrich Schnauss and Jonas Munk is good.

Pinkshinyultrablast, or maybe new Sleater-Kinney

They FINALLY got off the boat, just to go on hiatus and be published irregularly again and shitty CG animation in the meantime. At least I got to see Farnese for the first time in 3 years. If there's one character I love more than Chloe.

Shame they had to die because some hipster qt had to have her punk poon.
>>127085425
Referring to Berserk? I've never read/ watched it, but glad to hear it's started back up for those that like it. I saw a lot of people rejoicing about them getting off the boat.
Unfortunately I don't think I will ever see Ryuuko, the only character I like as much as Chloe, again. Although I was pretty satisfied with the ending of her story.

Feeling more creative than ever but also more sad than ever and I guess that's just the way it goes
>>127087630
Whoa, Victoria calm down.
>>127086741
You've summarised in a sentence exactly why Episode 5 is so wretched. Whereas before the series had a sense of optimism in spite of the darker elements, Polarized just went balls out with its over-the-top edginess. Victoria's role is like a twisted mirror image of Kate's side-story where (completely logical and sensible) efforts to help her end in her death for the sake of shock value. The episode doesn't celebrate the characters at all. It's just obsessed with killing them all off.

LiS honestly, despite everything
>Movie
Force Awakens tied with Carol. Very different reasons.
>Album/ Song
Nothing new this year but a whole lot of stuff I discovered this year. LiS's soundtracks for a start, loads of 80s synth wave stuff too.
>Anything else you discovered this year that you liked or that you want to share
Finally explored the countryside around here because the LiS par made me want to go walking. Whilst out there, I got lots of thinking done and it helped me get over my shithouse ex and also come to terms with some medical bullshit I had to think about.
In all, really fucking glad I played this game with you all.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
I love you all

>>127094478
Are Chloe and Max the Rei and Asuka of Life is Strange?
>>127095919
Max is like Shinji. She comes back to something/ somewhere she once knew, but has a lot of self doubt. She battles her enemies and herself and comes out stronger.
Chloe is like Asuka. She has a rough and tough exterior, but under it is a scared little girl who just wants to be loved again. She is needlessly angry because she's scared she'll appear weak if she isn't.Rachel is Yui. She fucked up big time and caused the whole mess, but she's also a protector and the reason the journey was able to happen anyway
>>127096305
Is Kate Rei?
>>127096305
>Rachel is Yui. She fucked up big time and caused the whole mess
I'm pretty sure Rachel isn't responsible for Jefferson's crimes, Nathan's assistance or Sean's unwitting financial support.
Was anyone else annoyed at the start of episode 2?
I played them a day apart, and after the first episode ended with Chloe saying "tell me everything" I was confused waiting half of episode 2 to eventually infer that they just decided off camera to go home right after that and not talk about it again until tomorrow.
>day 5 of post LiS depression
>still can't find the energy to even fap
>everytime I try, think of Max in the dark room
>lose boner instantly
>>127097949
i didn't fap for over a month after finishing LiS funfact
>>127097949
You can always fapwith your heart
>>127097949
Maybe this will help?
>>127097949
I still can't fap to LiS characters. If I read something lewd it has to be passionate and consensual.
I don't want to see anything of the characters getting abused, hurt, etc. Especially because numerous of them already were in the game.
Took me about three weeks after finishing playing to be able to fap again. I just didn't have the urge.
>>127097949
That's rough anon. I managed to start moving on from the post-LiS depression after about 2 days. Don't think I was incapable of fapping but I didn't feel like eating much for the first 24 hours or so. I don't even want to imagine what it would have been like if I hadn't learned about Mass Effect 3's ending in advance.
>>127098337
No that's even worst. Max shouldn't be treated like that. She needs care and love and, you know, someone to hug her after all those shit she been through
>>127074620

Speaking o Life is Strange and Anime equivalencies/ similarities.
I was watching TFS and their latest episode had the part where Krillin has the remote to kill 18. My brain immediately went to LiS:
>Option 1: Press button, kill person you care about (That you fall in love with in the future) but avert a terrible thing that's about to happen
>Option 2: Let that terrible thing happen but give that person you care about a chance to live a better life
Granted it's more complicated than that. But the fact I thought of that worries me.
I cannot escape the grasp this game has on me. Even when I try to turn off my brain.

>>127097497
Yeah, just another example of this series' clunkiness. Plus talking about how Max has been researching time travel all night, having all these walls of text for us to read, but the devs going "n-no, you're not supposed to question where her power came from, it's just magic to tell a story!"

The secret to the sinful homosexual ending is to let Max sink into Chloe's juvenile delinquency at least 3 times in order to degrade Max's moral compass enough to engage in something so vile. But it's okay, because the kiss only happens if you do as God always intended and send the dyke to her fiery doom, so it's really a story of redemption.

>>127074620
>Game
Has to be LiS. Even though the endings were shit, I still can't completely stop thinking about this game. I don't think any other game made me feel like this, hell, not even other medium.

Movies were shit this year, I haven't seen TFA yet though. So from what I've seen, I probably liked Sicario the most.

LiS had some good music that I would never listen to otherwise, because I prefer electronic music. So I have to say that LiS OST was my favourite this year.

>You will never see Max and Chloe again
This made me depressedeven moreso
>>127105370
Pretty much this. Max and Chloe's sexuality is never firmly established (both show romantic/sexual interest in male characters in multiple places in the game, for example), so while there is plenty of (sometimes obvious) lesbian subtext, there's still some subjectiveness to it. The developers have been pretty consistent in say that it's mostly just down to how the players want to interpret it, though they frequently hint at muh lesbians too.
The two will kiss at the end in one ending if you did enough pro-Chloe stuff throughout the game. That's really THE only moment where they push it to proper gurls-on-gurls.
At the end of it all, if you want to play a straight Max, you can. Most of the subtext is on Chloe's side anyway.

Ha. Given that we know that Chloe is actually pretty smart (both from what we learn about her in the original timeline, and from her straight A's in the alternate timeline), this makes Max look like the village idiot. The loveable village idiot. :3
>I noticed that Max dropped the unused weedkiller bomb material into the principal's trashcan. That's going to raise some fucking ruckus!!
Prolly not. She doesn't drop the bomb in there, just the pieces, yeah? And most of them are just normal bits and pieces, or items from next door. Even if the Principal saw it all, I doubt he would be thinking "that's a bomb!" so much as he would just be thinking "why did the cleaner move some of that trash into my bin?"
>>127112259
>At the end of it all, if you want to play a straight Max, you can. Most of the subtext is on Chloe's side anyway.
Careful there. I don't think that's a very popular opinion in this general. Still I actually do like the idea that a friendship between Max and Chloe could be so deep that Max would be willing to sacrifice everything to keep her best friend alive.
>>127112123
Missed Kate's birthday by 2 days.
Chloe was born when I graduated.
From Uni.
FUUUUU~~
>>127112448
The game strongly steers you into being romantically linked with Chloe ("I wish I had kissed her", "Is this friendship....or love?") but you can just be really good friends.
>>127112427
> I doubt he would be thinking "that's a bomb!"
If the principal did not have a extra-sheltered youth he would be thinking "who put the ingredients for a fscking bomb into my trash?"
When I was kid we discussed this kind of shit every month at least once and weedkiller was easily obtained; never made one though.
Given that TERROR is suspected these days when someone brings a homemade clock to school, poor David is bound to destroy his circadian rhythm.
>>127112427
>Chloe is actually pretty smart
Debatable. She certainly isn't a very practical or sensible thinker and the game doesn't demonstrate her alleged scientific prowess. All she really gets to do is make a one-off reference to Chaos Theory (probably the same dumb train of thought as Warren) and we find a few books relating to time travel scattered around her room. Max researches the exact same thing as well so it's hardly extraordinary.
To be fair though, with the possible exception of Nathan none of the kids really get to show off their supposed skills. Warren's chemistry and understanding of quantum physics doesn't reflect his high GPA and we have to just take their word for it that Rachel really was this super-smart girl. Victoria does seem to be quite studious but Courtney's ghost-written paper is a strike against her. We're also told that Max has a "gift" but none of her photographs really stand out as particularly impressive (could be due to the game's visuals). Nathan at least does have some visually-interesting photos despite his grades taking a downturn.
>>127110495
Mr Plinkett, why don't you do a review of LiS?
>>127112229
I will never forget Max. I promise. In fact, I plan to find a girl just like her. She's totally my type.
>>127112839
>Debatable.
No, I mean that Max literally states that Chloe used to be a straight A student before her father died (when you look at her crappy report card in her room in Ep1).
I think the biggest problem is simply that which is common in media - the writers have no idea about any of this stuff themselves, and just fake it till they make it. Having Chloe or Warren just drop random lines about pop-sci level quantum mechanics might sound kinda cool to the random-joe off the street, but if you know much more about the subject it comes across as exactly what it is. The writers obviously intended us to THINK Warren is smart, that Max has some gift of photography, etc, and that's really what matters I guess.
>>127112839
Graham is more like Weathley DESU
Also these are grades from high school. Let them test their mettle at uni, it's a whole new ballpark (head's gonna explode etc).
I like Max telling Nathan in the diner that she needs drugs because that's how she stays up all night studying. WHAT!
>>127113069
It's kind of a shame because one thing I liked a lot about Episode 1 and to a lesser extent 2 was the little details about Photography as a subject. I never studied it in my life so it was kind of neat hearing Max and other students discuss famous photographers and techniques. It could well be that the devs didn't really know all that much about the topic but I found it sort of educational.
>>127113035
Good luck anon.
>>127113075
Isn't Blackwell meant to be more demanding than most high schools though? I got the impression it was a sort of gap between high school and uni designed for gifted students (and some with rich families).
>>127113254
Yeah erh, I will join some 'cultured and sophisticated' art club. Guitar is a big no, probably faggots strumming their fucking acoustics. Photography.. Nah too many people comparing lenses.
Literature? I don't know. Tell me.
>>127113346
It seems to be but we don't get a "cram school" impression at all. Max's curriculum seems light. Cinematography would demand that people are mostly in their room or the library and dumping stuff into their brains, freaking out in the hallways due to "above my head" problems and cancelling social life and weekends to get ahead. The science room should be full (ok, that's expensive to do) None of this is hinted at.
The most demanding thing at Blackwell seems to be a pervasive and unsolvable "bullying culture" And that took me some time to pick up on (not sure why), which I imagine is why the school is called "Blackhell" and principal keeps the bottle nearby.
>>127113467
I have no idea man, it never worked for me. It all depends. Ask some lady that's nearby, she might give some advice.
Sports club? Not US "team sports" though. Martial arts. Dancing classes fer sure.

>>127113221
I find it really weird that we are genuinely meant to just buy that Max's photos aren't shit, when the visual style of the game itself is very impressive and in-game photos from other characters are pretty cool.
>>127114129
I don't see why not but then they would have known each other very well, AB not being very large. Then their interaction would have been different.
>>127113794
>The most demanding thing at Blackwell seems to be a pervasive and unsolvable "bullying culture" And that took me some time to pick up on (not sure why), which I imagine is why the school is called "Blackhell" and principal keeps the bottle nearby.
Honestly, what evidence really is there aside from what happened to Kate? I mean yeah that's a big deal, but it's a single incident that was based on an unknown crime and resulting misunderstandings as to it's severity.
>>127114219
We are meant to buy that she has three different types of TIMU POWERU, so I don't consider this a big problem storytelling-wise.
>>127114219
The problem is the visual style gives a lot of the photos that hand drawn sketchy look and we've only got Max's monologue (and Jefferson's critique) to inform us which photos count as good. Aside from the Dark Room photos the only ones that really stick out to me are Nathan's macabre black-and-white pics and to a lesser extent Kate's contest entry.

Daniel, Alyssa and possibly Luke are on the receiving end of school bullying. Dana gets locked in her own room by her best friend over a prank played by Victoria. Warren is also implied to be a bullying victim judging by the graffiti written about him and his vicious retribution against Nathan.
>>127114289
That's another DONTNOD storytelling problem where they don't bring that over all too well.
In the very first hallway scene this is brought up numerous times. I thought it's just the usual high-school retardation showing itself but then..
> School is called "Blackhell" according to principal
> Principal ready to give up, drinks heavily
> Quite a few people behave like jerks in need of attitude adjustments in the very first hallway scene
> Anti-bullying posters
> Victoria and her minion club in dire need of immediate arse whipping
> Retarded cliques of retardation
> Prescott suppress evidence of misbehaviour
> Plan to put up cameras being seriously considered
> Kate is just another bullying victim and basically background noise, which is why people are kinda indifferent to her plight
> Juliet's article talking about how Kate's suicide attempt is what it took to get people to acknowledge Blackwell has a fundamental bullying problem
So Blackwell is a school for just 12th graders only?
Everyone is just there for a year?
What good can come out of just a years worth of education?
Is this really a thing in US?

>>127114129
Yep. I'd go out on a limb to say that it's basically impossible that they wouldn't have met. Plus, a handful of other Blackwell students are supposedly from Arcadia Bay as well, despite nobody seemingly mentioning that they probably would have known each other previously. It's weird as fuck ... until you remember all the other similar little details that Dontnod seemingly just didn't put any real thought into.
Kate is probably supposed to be from elsewhere. The "Hometown: Arcadia Bay" line in her school file is probably just another flub (there are a few in those files).
>>127114359
Three? She only has two. Her regular rewind and the focus power.
People keep brining up when she stopped time in Ep2. I think this is pretty clearly just a slightly different manifestation of her regular rewind powers though. She's exhausted, trying to push time backwards, but it's just not letting her ... resulting in time freezing rather than moving backwards.

There are mistakes but there's nothing to contradict Kate being born in Arcadia Bay. The way she refers to her church and David's files on her regular attendance gives the impression that she's part of a local congregation. It may be possible that her family moved to a different town like the Caulfields did but there's nothing to contradict Arcadia Bay being her childhood hometown.
>>127115496
My ex was like a hybrid of Chloe and Max. Instead of indie folk you have stupid punk rock bands. And painting instead of photography.
