They produce 99% of the content for a ship for 2 characters that don't even appear in the same scene together. The only thing you have to go on is if Max saves Kate Brooke says she was happy to see her come off the roof
Remember to bully Victoria until she breaks
>>121378634
>You think they might be interested? I'm not even sure I know their tumblr page, though I have seen it before.
I have no idea, it probably depends how busy they are, and if they'd feel weird about contributing to something post-finale after working with dontnod?B-but I'm equally shy anyway so, yeah, I'm also too scared to ask.
Story time
The little Chloe Graham wakes up from a dream... She could travel thru time on it, to the past, and sees a woman called Rachel Amber being kidnapped
Max's daughter mind gets back to the future, it's 2023 already, and her mother and brother are waiting for Warren to come home, which never happens... he disappeared all of a sudden
Chloe and her brother meet Victoria Chase. the head of a company, and her little daughter, Beverly
The relationship between those three grows, and 6 years later, Mrs Victoria Chase takes them to accomplish a mission, taking Nathan Prescott out of jail
They manage to do it with some cash from Mrs Chase company
Nathan is on his own now, no money from the family, no more family, all he's got is the Team: Victoria and Beverly Chase, and Chloe and Warren Graham Jr
To find out about the tornado from 2013 they need to find the main cause, a disappeared man called Warren Graham
Warren Caulfield is not like his sister, he's a sick mind, full of envy, only Chloe could herit Max's power and somehow, making them more powerful, she can send whatever she wants to the past or to the future
Forcing his sister, he manages to travel to the past, to begin his sick plan of kidnapping girls, drug them and take pictures, and becoming a famous photographer that mets his mother when she was a teenager, that mother he hates, the mother that betrayed him by giving powers only to his sister
Then he mets Rachel Amber, who would die some months later because of an overdose.
In 1962, on a cult called The Vortex, Rachel was seen as a goddess, because of that, she's considered special, she is eternal, never ages. In 2013 Rachel is still the same girl that died in the fire in that dark October 10th
Only the fire can kill her, they thought, but they were wrong unluckily
In 1963, the leader of the Vortex Cult, Stacy Marsh, decides to tell her daughter and then her granddaughter Kate, to stay close to the situations involving rachel Amber

there was that cut line (that was still there in the leaked version iirc) from the rooftope scene about Kate's friends and if you picked "Brooke" she would say that Brooke makes fun of her beliefs.

That's just awful though and not in a Victoria way where she fucks with Max and Kate because she's insecure. That's fedora tipper let's shit on someone because they choose to believe in a higher power
>>121381387
Well you do know Brooke is an condescending ass. Everytime Max talks to her pretty much.

By pulling strings, Kate Marsh would be able to force Nathan to do what he does, drugging Rachel, not killing her, she can't die, but as long as she's drugged, she's unconciouss
Thats the safest way to prevent tragedies
Rachel Amber can't die, and she shouldn't live either, a coma is the best way to keep the world away from evil
Kate, following orders from her mother, lets the Prescott boy drug her so she can find out the hidden place where Rachel was, and to gain information without being caught, that way, the Vortex can be sure about Rachel's coma.
When the police, guided by Max, find Rachel's body, they fuck things up so bad, and she can be free again, and everyone knows that would be a catastrophe
The only way to stop this is managing somehow to create a natural disaster, something that's not suspicious, the biggest brain on Arcadia Bay, Warren Graham, is taken as the Vortex scientist to make it happen, but it will take a lot of time, so they need Max.
According a marriage between Max and Warren, and keeping the time travel powers safe by giving them to the little Chloe Graham, is the safest way to accomplish the mission.
Using little Chloe's power to send the tornado back in time, they erase Arcadia Bay from the map, leaving Rachel in a coma underground forever
The unfortunate disappearing of Warren in the future, is keeping The Team worried, only he can create the tornado, and he will, but they have to find him, if not, the history will be altered again, for worse
>>121382632

She's going to have a green haired baby with Chloe
>>121383061
Maybe in the Bae ending she might feel compelled enough to carry from a sperm donor but even them I don't know. Chloe sure as fuck won't be the one
Why the fuck they scrapped the Hospital ending.
Why they changed Hospital to Cemetery
Why.
>>121383418
It wasn't real Max was the Medic the whole time
>>121383553
>>121384164
Mad Max was working with Victoria to make Photography Heaven and ditched Chloe with Venom Max who was actually Kate
From the current live stream, the developer confirms that the phone call Jefferson has in Episode 2 was never supposed to be important. Just a way to end the conversation and allow Max to go into the classroom to talk with Victoria/Nathan.

heh 82% blame jefferson on a "no spoilers" stream, good fun
The developer just confirmed that at the end of Ep2, Jefferson "hadn't done anything wrong yet". He said that "he was trying to help her in the hallway".
I want Victoria to be my abusive husband and shit on my face.
>>121386351
He's just being a cheeky sod
>>121386351
yeah right
and when Kate was talking about feeling a sting in her neck at some point after being taken by Nathan he said that ''those who've played the game know what has already happened''

Why is no one in chat asking them about s2? Did they already answer questions regarding that?

Do you really think they'd answer, anyway?

>>121389093
thank
>>121388417
Wowser, is someone giving that coffeeskater fic some visuals?
>>121389326
They'd at least have to address it if enough people kept asking that question. Obviously I wouldn't expect any official announcement, just a "maybe" or "it's definitely possible". Just something.
>>121389372
This one?
>>121389526
Other way around, the fic was inspired by the drawing
>>121389760
That'd be the exact same thing that we've had for months. So really, there's no point to it.
>>121389763
Yeah but in high resolution. Can't find it anywhere. It is the only younger picture of him in the game?
>>121390065
I literally just ripped that from the game files. That's the highest resolution you're gonna get.
Should I warn Victoria? what happens if you don't?
>>121390720
If you warn her, she dies.
>>121390720
It doesn't matter.
>>121390720
If you don't she is fine.
>>121390720
Play the game for your fucking self, retard.
>>121390720
>>121390720
It wont affect anything in the end, but warning her gets you an extra (slightly depressing) scene with her.

We already know what it's for.
Jesus Christ you shitposting mother fuckers.
Let's go. First impression of the game going into it blind?
I thought it was going to be some lame horror game where you have to solve shitty puzzles while you walk in a spoopy forest yet nothing actually ever happens. I mean on some levels I was right but...anyway.
Then once we got to leave the classroom I really saw the magic. That music while exploring the halls, then the first encounter with the bathroom scene. I knew it was special from that point on. But the paint puzzle thing turned me off a bit. It's ok because because I got to see Warrkek get best after annoying the shit out of me.
>>121392310
Towns can be rebuilt.
>>121392220
Meh at the whole god damn stream. Boring, no reveals.;-;
>>121384945
But that's ridiculous. Literally every other conversation in the entire game just ends. No one else needs to be pulled away by something.
>>121392424
You're ridiculous.
>>121392332
>Let's go. First impression of the game going into it blind?
A fantastic idea with vast potential squandered by inept hands at every conceivable turn. A game with a smattering of truly great moments held together with duct tape, baling wire, and a flawless soundtrack that finally collapses under its own weight at the end.
>>121392464
You'll be thankful for that some day.
>watching dev stream
how did the game turned out in Chloe or Town?
Oh shit, they just said "one of the main themes THIS SEASON...." on the livestream.

They aren't going to finish the game today.

I never went blind since I followed the game since Gamescom 2014.
But I was expecting that
a) it will probably make me int oa mess
b) it will havea great story that will wow me
It managed to a) but never in hell would i have thought how much of an utter, depressing waste of potential this will end up being.
This game deserved so much more. Like competent writers.
>>121393101
Ah. Gotcha.
Sorry, didn't understand at first.
I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere. Not like here. Here everything is soft and smooth.
>>121393023
Why is that song so fitting
Why are all the song so fitting one way or another.
If Dontnod's going to make a DLC, it needs to be set in an alternate universe and feature Max, Chloe, Vic, Kate, Nathan and Warren hanging out in a cabin and then shit happens.
A horror game DLC is PERFECT for Life is Strange.

Tell me what, anon? :)I know it looks ugly as fuck and the lipsync is somehow even worse than LiS. But it's a distraction, no matter how good or bad it ends up being.
>>121392909
The music for the game, specifically the trailers, was so good.
I like how some of the songs hint towards the endings, but can also be interpreted to "support" either choice.
For instance, I like the song On My Side.
>There’s a storm when she is ragin’
>Turns cold when she's forsaken
>You can’t stop the hurtin’
>But you can drop the curtain
I could see how that references both possible endings.
Even though it was never a choice for me since I already knew what option I would pick if the predictions about the ending came true.
>>121393871
>There’s a storm when she is ragin’
>Turns cold when she's forsaken
This part actually reminds me of that Rachel revenge theory.
>>121393674
I hate how no one who I've seen play this game ever talks to Chloe after the kiss. That "don't you dare rewind that" line is the cutest shit, man. Not even the fucking devs did it, what the hell man.
>tfw there will never be DLC where Kate is torn apart by her feelings for Max and her faith
>tfw she will never find a way to concile these two
>tfw we will never have a qt lesbian Christian wedding scene
just put me out of my misery already, I'm begging you
>>121393871
Dude that song.
I always thought it's about Rachel or Chloe being responsible for the weather changes.
>>121394019
That whole dialog is the cutest shit.
>Cue_E3_5A_ChloeRoom_CHChloe_MaxChloe_Chloe_021="You would have too. Smart, sexy and sassy... Like me, right?"
And it actually gives some exposition to Chloe's and Rachel's personalities.
>>121394019
There's one or two optional Chloe conversations I always forget to do - the one in her room in episode 1 (the rewindable one about Max's life), and the one at the junkyard about the origins of Max's power.
>>121394000
After we learned more about Chloe and Rachel, that song did indeed seem like it was about Rachel watching over Chloe and also being the cause of the storm. And while it still does, I think it can apply to Max now as well.
The first part seems to be about someone watching over her from above, while the second part talks about being reunited with someone (Which could either be Max, in life. Or with Rachel, in death- depending on the ending picked)

So the developer just confirmed that the blue jay spirit animal is NOT Rachel. But he said they thought a lot about what all the different animals represent.
So the Bluejay is related to someone, but not Rachel. It would seem that the Butterfly must be Chloe. Could it be Max? Joyce? David?
>>121395343
its dahaka of course
>>121394874
It's hard for me to imagine Rachel. If she wanted to be/ was a model, she had to have some type of shape to her. But at the same time, she was roughly the same size as Max.
Plus, trying to think of what her voice would sound like.
It would have been neat to have at least heard a recording of her from a phone message or something.
>>121394874
whyyyyy iiiiis iiiiit shaaakiiiinggggg
>>121395072

>>121395343
Whatttt that makes no sense
Who would it be? I don't think it's Max. Hmmm.

Butterfly is Rachel.
Blue jay is Chloe.
Calling it now.
>>121395718
FUCK OF WITH THAT TRASH IM SO FUCKING TRIGGERED
>>121395718
>>121395343
What if the Butterfly is Max.
It was in the bathroom, and was the reason she was in hiding when Chloe and Nathan came in.
It allowed her to save the girl, even thought she didn't know who it was at the time.
In the Sacrifice Chloe ending we're supposed to assume it's a representation of Chloe, but what if it's more a representation of Max landing on the casket to say "Good fucking job dumb shit, you killed your best friend. Why do you think you had that power? Fuck this *flutters away*"
>>121395971
That's fucking dumb. Why would Rachel be following Max to all the places she went with Chloe in the bay ending when the old photos burn and new ones appear with Max alone with the butterfly in the background?
>>121395343
does anyone care what a bunch of hacks say?
>>121395971
I think that makes most sense, actually.
But it makes the Bay ending a bit sad, if it's Rachel landing on the coffin to comfort Max, not Chloe.
Why did ep5 went full max payne at the end again?

Same reason why Rachel likes color blue and wears an earring with a blue feather, but doesn't have a blue bird as her spirit animal.
Because why the fuck not.
>>121396170
Maybe Rachel is reuniting with Chloe, and Max is happy to see that.I'm pulling this out of my ass right now, just so you know.
>>121396398
>Same reason why Rachel likes color blue and wears an earring with a blue feather, but doesn't have a blue bird as her spirit animal.
Because why the fuck not.
You know that dev guy who is currently streaming doesn't really know every little detail about the game, right? Especially not dropped plotlines that never went anywhere. Who gives a shit what those spirit animals represent if the devs themselves never went anywhere with it?
>>121393253
Yeah, basically this
>>121396606
>You know that dev guy who is currently streaming doesn't really know every little detail about the game, right?
I know that he doesn't know every little detail. I don't know which details he does know, though. Maybe he's telling the truth, or maybe he's also pulling it out of his ass.
Either way, we need something to talk about.
>>121396376

>>121396193
Why
>>121396398
>Max is happy to see that
I don't think Max have been happy with Rachel if they found her alive. While they may have been friends, I think Max would have been pissed at Rachel for lying to Chloe. And I think Chloe would have been equally pissed, especially since Max would be around and Chloe would have something to compare Rachel to and see that she had flaws. Flaws she didn't notice when she clung to Rachel as the only good thing in her life.
Then again, I think Rachel never really committed to a relationship with Chloe because she knew Chloe ultimately loved Max over her. Even if Chloe was too bone-headed during those five years trying to act like she hated Max.
>>121396840
Because I love you, anon.
aren't you happy for them, /lisg/ :^)?
>>121396941
>I don't think Max have been happy with Rachel if they found her alive.
I didn't mean that Max would've been happy with Rachel. I meant that she would've been happy that Chloe had finally reunited with her other close friend/crush.Even if they're both dead.
>>121395718
>Chloe: not even shocked at this point considering how often you go at it
H-how much are they fucking and then telling everyone about it
>>121396941
I really would have liked it if Max had shown some jealousy towards Rachel and Chloe had responded to it in some way.
Like during that moment in Chloe's room after the kiss where Max says "Maybe Rachel would have fought over the both of us."
I wonder what Chloe's response would have been if Max had said "Maybe Rachel and I would have fought over you."
Pure Kate confirmed.

I'm in such pain for how these brilliant characters and atmosphere were wasted on such a stupid plot and schizophrenic pacing. Especially knowing they'll all probably be cast aside with no DLC never to be heard from again to make way for a new cast in season 2, which will probably just make the same mistakes.
>>121397429
>"Maybe Rachel and I would have fought over you."
Dude that's gay
anyway, there is that moment at the pool where Chloe compliments Max and Max is like "i'm more amazing than Rachel?" and Chloe says"...I'm not her groupie okay?"
Also in EP1 when discussing who Rachel is for the first time there is an option for Max to say "so Rachel replaced me.."
That's the only stuff I recall, otherwise Max pretty much keeps her jealousy to herself.

That call Jefferson takes at the end of Ep2 isn't from anyone important or shady. They don't want to reveal which spirit animal belongs to whom, but they did put some thought into that and he specifically mentions that blue jay ISN'T Rachel's. He also put cheeky emphasis on how the doe/Rachel seems to be guiding Max, the fact that there's a drawing of a doe next to Rachel's missing person's poster in the Two Whales bathroom and how the spirit doe is lying on Rachel's grave in junkyard.

>>121401374
If destiny exists, then Max saving Chloe was what was destined to happen. Max cannot exist outside the universe as a seperate entity, her powers and how she uses them is already part of the destiny of that world.
Help. I can't stop reading fics about after the game and how Max & Chloe travel around while also trying to heal from their traumas.

Even if they're not particularly good, I've been at least glancing over any I can kind in the hopes that it is good.
There's one, that kind of goes off in it's own thing, where Chloe and Max stay in Arcadia Bay to rebuild it and eventually Chloe becomes mayor of the town. Kind of interested to see where that one goes even though it's practically AU at this point.

Nah. Right after the funeral, Max will go up to Chloe's room and start looking at her stuff, then she will snap and immediately go back to save her.

HA!
That's a decent story so far. Definitely OOC, by at least how we know them. But the author is doing their own thing, even if I don't really like the idea of Max turning into how Chloe was with tats, dyed hair, etc. I just can't picture her like that.
>>121409331
I can see her doing this. She loves her too much to let her stay dead.
>>121409331

Max cares for everyone you know. Also Chloe is predestined to die, why fight with the universe?
>>121409962
I HATE THAT PICTURE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
it's so fucking sad and so fucking beautiful i don't want to find it beautiful
>>121410009
How the fuck can she be predestined to die when Max got the power to save her, you stupid shit? Destiny would include Max and her powers.
>>121410009
You're right, Max does care about everyone.
She could obviously try to make everyone leave. But who would really believe her?
"Hey everyone! A massive tornado is going to fuck up the town at the end of the week, better leave!" that's not exactly going to work.
The only people to believe her was Chloe and that old woman.Plus everyone everyone in Arcadia Bay had four hours to either find shelter or GTFO
>>121410242
Don't worry she went back to save her again!
>>121410448
The game should have been about that.
>>121410351
Max and Chloe's destiny isn't intertwined. Max's power is irrelevant to the plot.
>>121410009
Clearly Max cares for everyone, but Chloe is literally and canonically her number 1 priority.

>>121411090
Yeah, the lipsync is really bad. I mainly looked at the subtitles.
Imagination forever! :)
The "Sacrifice Chloe" ending was really just like the start of GTA V.
I was actually Rachel in the casket and Chloe will pop up in Max's life a few years later.
>>121410824
The dream of the storm gave Max those powers not Chloe. Chloe was just at the wrong place at the wrong time and she pissed off the wrong people by trying to blackmail them. She's also a bitch and has a very manipulative, while at the same time Warren would help her without any conditions or wanting anything in return. He's overall a better choice than Chloe, but I doubt you yurishits will listen because "muh lesbian."
>>121411286
Nobody even mentioned Warren. Why do you feel the need to bring him up in a discussion about whether Chloe's death is predestined or not?
>>121411279
>Chloe
>not showing up for Rachel's funeral
Right, look whatever relationship Chloe had with Rachel it kinda obvious that she sees Max as some sort of crappy substitute. She doesn't genuinely like Max as much as Rachel, and if Rachel was around she wouldn't even bother being friends with Max.
>>121411286
It pains me to admit it but had Max just told Warren in the first place the story would get resolved much quicker. He'd probably have worked out that Max's power was going to cause a storm by the Tuesday evening when the eclipse took place.
>>121411286

General #226? Holy shit.
Why do I never see talk about this on /v/, even though other new and popular games(Splatoon, Undertale, etc.) have threads infesting /v/?
>>121411539
I see it as completely the opposite. Rachel had to have heard about Max and known how closer her and Chloe were. I think that's why Rachel never (At least that we can see) returned Chloe's feelings- because she knew she was the substitute and would be relegated to a lesser role if Max came back into Chloe's life.It's also why she knew Max was the person to give the rewind ability to. Someone who would be able to save Chloe and give her a true shot at happiness.
>>121411812
Because generals are for "Video Game Generals" board.
>>121411812
Because /v/ hates games.
>>121411691
>>Her subconscious reduces him into a raving lunatic that is obsessed with her
It's really sad that, after episode 4 suggested there was more to Warren's life than 24/7 Max obsession, he's reduced to 'omg Max' and 'retarded exposition' in episode 5.
No tears, because he's hardly the only or most important character who got absolutely shafted, but christ. I really thought they'd be able to trick me into liking him by the end of it.
>>121411691
That's only if you pick all of the yurifag dialog choices, if you picked:
-promised to go on a date with Warren
-help him with science project
-tell Brooke that Warren isn't into him
Then the locker wouldn't be interactable.
>>121411539
Right, that's why she constantly talked about Max during the 5 years Max was in Seattle.
>>121411286
I'm just trying to explain the whole concept of fate and destiny to you, you moronic fuck.
No matter where or how or why Max got her powers, the fact that she did get them and the fact that she did use them means that whatever she used them for WAS the fated event. Max and her powers do not exist outside of her own reality. A universe where predetermined fate exists would also be responsible for Max gaining her powers and would already know exactly how she would use them.
The only other way for Max to prevent something that was fated to happen was if she got her powers from a godlike entity that is above the universe itself. In which case, the will of that entity should probably be prioritized over what the universe deems the proper course of fate.
>>121411953
Ignoring the locker, he's just screaming "APE APE APE etc."
Regardless of your choices, in the end, it's not Warren who saves Max from her own ramblings and fears of inadequacy/ wrongdoing. It's Chloe.
>>121411812
/v/ is toixc, games like this aren't games in their eyes.
>>121411907
I'm sorry but Rachel is just a slut that died, nothing more nothing less. Actually same goes for Chloe, the story is about Max. And Max's personality is that she wanted to save everyone, not just Chloe, that is just Max's personality. It doesn't have shit to do with some lesbo subplot which the dev put in there to satisfy Tumblr/Reddit. Which is why the Sacrifice Bay ending doesn't make any sense.
dont take the bait, just ignore the warrenkek troll
>>121412215
The general is getting as uncomfy as /v/ though.
>>121411953
No matter what choices you make in this game, it is always about Chloe. This game has no Warren "route". He's an insignificant side character with maybe 10 minutes of dialogue total. You played through ~10 hours of a game that revolves purely around the relationship between Chloe and Max. The only change in that story you have influence over is whether at the end Max sees Chloe as her very best friend and soulmate, or as her very best friend and love interest.
>>121412242
Denial isn't good for you anon. No matter what choices you make. Chloe will always be Max's number 1 priority, all that matters to her. The lesbian subplot doesn't matter one bit because even if you decide to go the friendship route, it's still all about Chloe for Max.
>>121412242
We don't know who/ what Rachel is because we got very little info and were left to fill in the gaps. I see it fit to believe that Rachel was the one who gave Max the power. If you think otherwise than that is fine.
But what has been established is that throughout episode 3-5, Max's priority was to save Chloe (Either from sadness or death).
It's not about satisfying anyone with Max and Chloe's friendship/ love because THAT IS THE STORY of the game.
Even before Max does anything you can read her journal and see she wishes she kept in contact with Chloe and still wanted to see her.
>>121412043
Plus the other problem with a predetermined fate is that Max regains her memories on the Friday. Imagine two Maxes, one who only had memories of Chloe dying in the bathroom and the other remembering a grand time travel adventure. There's no way the remainder of their lives would be flawlessly identical mirrors of one another. Time travel Max supposedly reset the path to its right course when she let Chloe die, but she has no idea what steps she's supposed to perform once the auto-pilot stops. The tornado is probably going to be reset once Max does something that throws the predetermined path off the rails. Plus it's never established that she lost her powers either. In fact I think Max and Chloe bring up the possibility that it was always subconsciously inside her.
>>121412508
Warrenkek trolling tends to do that.
>>121413046
If any change in time created the storm, then Max did it when she was in Jefferson's class and answered the question using knowledge she wouldn't have had without the ability to turn back time. And there's no way to undo that change because she did it before getting to the bathroom the second time (Which is where she goes to if she lets Chloe die, because there wasn't a surviving photo from the first time)
Since that's a smaller change than saving a life, it could take longer for the effects to manifest. But it's the same principle: make a small change with large consequences down the line.
Arcadia Bay may still get hit with the storm, but it will take longer than a week.

That would probably be the biggest relief/ horrifying thing for Max. Realizing that Chloe can live, but also that no matter what the town is fucked.
That would really spur her to try to convince people of what was coming, but I don't know if she would be able to if she was on autopilot for a whole week.

>>121395343
That doesn't really make sense, I figured the fact that Rachel has a blue feather in her hair plus the fact that the first blue jay you see in the game gets killed basically served as a hint that Rachel was dead.
I can't think of any other characters it would seem to have an obvious connection with like that.
>>121415040
ARRRGGG!!!!!!
>>121415296
Yeah. Aside from Chloe, since the Blujay also has to be saved multiple times. But Chloe is pretty explicitly linked with the butterfly by the end of it, and no one likes a spirit animal hog.
>>121415347
>ywn join Cap'n Chloe and Max's crew
>>121415424
Well the spirit animals do seem to be related to the totems in some way, though it's not something I know jack shit about.
Maybe it actually could represent Chloe as well since you do have the option to save both of them or let them die.
Anyone know if they are going to be uploading the streams somewhere? Not sure I want to watch them live, but I would like to be able to go through them to see all the dev's comments about the game.
Sad baby Max
Don't know if I'm remembering wrong, but the first thing Max says if you choose Bay is 'I don't want to do this!' isn't it?
I'll freely admit I'm a baefag, and I'll freely admit that breaking the 4th wall probably isn't an appropriate way to do it. But nonetheless I feel like I could fudge the idea that since you, the player, make the choice for Max, bayfags forced her to do what she didn't want to do.

I think that's grasping at straws. Obviously Max didn't want Chloe to die, but she realized why it happening would be a smaller loss than an entire town and a chunk of the inhabitants. It wasn't like if you picked that option Max would be enthusiastic about it.
There's other reasons to say that letting the storm hit the town was a better choice, besides the one you mentioned.

I've asked this before but why are we using the terms baefag and bayfag? That makes it sound like we're fans of the endings in the same sense that we are of Chloe or Kate.

Why accept either as canon? They're utter shit and ride on the idea that Max's power caused the tornado.

>>121417302
Saving Chloe is still a choice you get and it's a choice I'm partial to, regardless of the ending cutscene. So baefag, in my mind, denotes that I'd save Chloe no matter what.
It's indicative of the choice you would make, not whether or not you like the endings.

Because I want to hold onto something even if its not a good ending.

So let's say you build explosives for the military as a profession. One day, you find yourself in a dilemma where a man has a gun to your significant other's head and a detonator in the other. Off in the near distance, there is a bus lined with explosives and full of people. You cannot prove that you created those explosives, but the man tries guilt tripping you into believing that you're the most responsible person for putting those people in danger. The man says you either choose to let him shoot the person you love, or he sets off the bomb in 4 hours. The bus's doors are wide open, and the people onboard have complete knowledge of the situation you are in.
Bayfag logic says that you should let the man kill your loved one, even though there is no proof that anyone on the bus will die and even less proof that you are the one that indirectly put them in harms way at the time you need to make the decision.
Bayfags are literal psychopaths.
>>121417953
Treasure everything that was good from the previous four episodes (and any of the scattered good moments in Polarized) and disregard the finale. To this day I refuse to acknowledge Mass Effect 3's finale and anything involving the Catalyst or the Leviathans as canonical. If the writers don't treat the fanbase or the lore and themes of the game with any respect then why the hell should I owe them any respect?
>>121418221
>the story never convinced me that Chloe is actually worth more than the combined lives of everyone in Arcadia Bay.
measuring lives against each other is impossible anyway, so your reasoning is pretty retarded.
>>121418351
Max has always truly been the dominant one in their relationship, anyway. Chloe dances around things because of her fear of getting hurt, but Max is more direct. She initiates both kisses and has always put her foot down when Chloe might get a bit carried away, and Chloe always follows Max's words.
>>121418221
They had 4 hours to find shelter :) So the ones that died deserved it because they were dumb af.

I decided pretty early when Chloe started talking about her feelings of abandonment and acting out and getting into trouble for attention etc. . . I felt a lot of sympathy for her, even though she was a pain in the ass, and I decided I would make Max be a good friend and always be there for her to help her overcome her teen angst.
So in the end when she does overcome all of that - hell, I saw a spoiled little shit who had no respect for anybody, double parking in handicapped spaces, not sharing weed, blaming her problems on Max, and she completely transforms into this wonderful human being who shows so much respect and consideration for everyone that she's even willing to lay down her own life for the sake of others. I just honestly felt she was so beautiful in that moment and Max had really come through for her, and there's just no way I could let that go. It's a rotten choice, because of course everyone else deserved to live as well, but I just couldn't sacrifice what Chloe and Max had built together.

What are you talking about? Letting her die? The game ended when the both of them went to San Francisco to look at her everyday hero's contest picture. :)
>>121418928
That image assumes that there was no mistake whatsoever with the text messages. Remember that Vortex party that Rachel went to. The way the game emphasised it made it sound like that was where she disappeared. Yet that contradicted other dates from her missing posters.
But anyway if they were still there after three hours that doesn't indicate to me that they were just dumb. I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume that there was something barring them from finding an easy exit. It's not that hard to believe with cars and trains flying around.

You chose to have Max save her loved one from a certain death instead of giving her up for a bunch of strangers that unlike Chloe had a genuine chance of survival. Protecting our loved ones is a natural, selfish human behavior, and it was and always will be the right choice for this game.

He also has no talent.
He can do anything he wants with his victims, and all his work is of just of them sitting or laying.

Only a poor photog blames his models for fucking up his shot.

>>121420848
>I bet that hack needs them unconscious because he can't direct his models to save his life.
Pretty much. Shit, during Max's shoot he goes on about how models are the most natural and open in that state, but then yells at her for not posing the way he wants her to. Well which is it, dude, do you want it natural or directed?

That's why I like that the photo they use of Jefferson in the Newspaper was when he was younger. Because he's a fucking wash-up that nobody cares about anymore other than teenage girls. They didn't use a recent picture because nobody would know him.
And what's even better is as his ass rots in prison, he will be hearing how Max excels as a photographer and artist.

>>121420430
>instead of giving her up for a bunch of strangers that unlike Chloe had a genuine chance of survival.
The problem is that those strangers were placed in the position they were in as a result of Max's actions. This whole "chance of survival" thing reeks of victim blaming. We have no idea if the tornado (which we know for a fact was created by supernatural means) conforms to real world logic in regards to damage. If it was able to uproot trees and smash a boat into a lighthouse miles away then it's not that hard to believe that a magic tornado could actually kill more than a couple of nameless NPCs.

>>121421830
>The problem is that those strangers were placed in the position they were in as a result of Max's actions.
That is never said explicitly at any point during the game. We are being pressed to assume it, but the Prescotts knew too much about the storm to make any logically thinking person believe it was Max's doing.
>If it was able to uproot trees and smash a boat into a lighthouse miles away then it's not that hard to believe that a magic tornado could actually kill more than a couple of nameless NPCs.
Trees and light fiberglass boats can be lifted by fucking EF1's. Just about every structure in AB is still intact or even standing, most of the telephone poles are simply leaned over, and there are cars right on the beachline that are still on the road. If they wanted to portray that this tornado was powerful, they couldn't have missed the mark any more.
Just remember Arcadia Bay supposedly had numerous shelters courtesy of the Prescotts. Probably from the early Cold War when it was feared Soviet bombers/ missiles would be hitting the West Coast.
>>121400617
They sure had to go out of their way to have Max not come off as completely gay with the dream, huh?
>>121422168
The choice is Sacrifice Chloe or Sacrifice Arcadia Bay. How the hell does an intact town where virtually everyone short of a few nobodies on the street survives count as "sacrificing" it?
>>121422002
More like he has to be a bitchboy for protection because of the inevitable hits placed on him.

thats the start when youre walking inside the town as max, when the tornado actually reaches the town entire houses disintegrate up into it
>>121422945
It sure will be fun if Frank ever ends up prison. Even though hopefully he turns his life around like he said he wanted to.
Regardless of that, he'd probably be very eager to meet the person that killed Rachel.
>>121422347
1) We don't now where those are.
2) We don't know how many of them there are.
3) Not one person during the storm brings them up, suggesting most residents are unaware of them or can't access them.
4) That assumes that bunkers from the 50s are still in active use and haven't been abandoned or demolished.
>>121410871
....Well I had to kill off someone that would be missed, right?
The initial list of people I wanted to kill off was actually longerlike Juliet, Zach and Justin for example too
>>121422648
Because the choice is being made at a time where Max
a) Feels completely responsible and guilty for the storm
b) Assumes that if it hits the town, it will be completely destroyed
Both of these combine to allude to her belief that it is a "sacrifice", which is rewarded to the critical-thinking players and Max when we learn that it actually did very little damage compared to what it appeared it would do.
>>121420848
I always felt like Jefferson's 'art project' rang a little hollow since he wanted to capture the moment of 'loss of innocence', and yet he was drugging girls and forcing them into that position.
Just seems like a real artist wouldn't be satisfied with forcing an artificial moment like that. More authentic art would be capturing the real thing as it happened naturally and spontaneously.
>>121423014
He's referring to the ending cutscene though, building have been torn apart but not disintegrated. Even the small wooden Arcadia Bay sign is still standing with a small hole in it. People have survived in way worse conditions then the ones shown so I will stick to believing it didn't just wipe out 100% of AB
>>121422648
Well you're pretty much sacrificing it in that the Prescotts will definitely buy all the shit and build whatever they want on it?
>>121423014
I'm just gonna assume by your arguments that you're a retarded bayfaggot that didn't even watch the canon ending, where we are visually shown how little damage the tornado actually did.
>shuffling library

>>121423368
And how could there be a "loss of innocence" with Rachel? She wasn't innocent by an stretch of the imagination. She slept around, partied, did drugs, etc. even in the photos we see of her she just looked really angry instead of scared, she was probably a fighter that got a good hit on Nathan or Jefferson before they OD'd her.
>>121423298
>which is rewarded to the critical-thinking players and Max when we learn that it actually did very little damage compared to what it appeared it would do.
Holy shit you're delusional. "Rewarding" implies that it was actually the intent of the writers that the bae ending actually be an unambiguously happy ending. They did NOT put that kind of thought into it. You are literally praising them right now for giving the endings depth and complexity that they clearly don't have. The endings fucking blow. End of story.
>>121423650
did it?
>>121423841
yes
>>121423985
why
>>121423389
So "sacrifice" means to allow Chloe to die in one ending and to allow the Prescotts to gain power (but not actually cause any real harm) in the other? That's a very flexible use of the word.
>>121423707
Unless I'm remembering it wrong, I don't think Jefferson had anything directly to do with Rachel's death. I think Rachel was a shoot that Nathan tried to do on his own, and Jefferson was disdainful about Nathan trying to copy him but not understanding his work, or something.
>>121423707
But she was also characterized as someone who was incredibly kind. Even as the most popular girl at school she never forgot the small folk, she reached out to the bullied nerds and treated that homeless woman ith compassion. Everybody loved her, that's what made her innocent.
Now I am nostalgic of the time when we thought Rachel had Max's powers.

and when did the homeless woman say she treated her with compassion
>>121424693
The homeless woman spoke of Rachel as someone she knew well.
>>121424346
He did say that, but it really sounded made up. Or at least twisted to fit a certain agenda of making sure Nathan would never talk about/ walk away from Jefferson's control.
It seemed to me that Jefferson said he would let Nathan take control, but was still directing him, and did so in a way that lead to Rachel's death and Nathan thinking he was the sole killer. That way he could be sure that Nathan would feel bad and listen to his every command in the future.
Also, the photos of Nathan and Rachel in the junkyard make them both look like they're heavily drugged, unless Nathan was just mimicking her facial expressions (Which seems unlikely).

>>121423368
That's a good point. Might have been more fitting if he took advantage of girls who passed out of their own accord or something.
None of his shit feels right at all. His whole opening spiel was railing against capturing desperation and instead capturing innocence, but then his MO in his photos screams 'desperation' and LOSS of innocence rather than preservation, and screams 'posed' rather than natural.
>>121423707
Despite her promiscuity and drug use, I still feel like Rachel was innocent in that she was hopelessly naive. She's a 5'3" country bumpkin and thinks she can run away to LA and make it as a model, she strings along half the town because she enjoys the attention/doesn't want to disappoint people/doesn't see that she's hurting them, she's giddy about the fact that a teacher wants to fuck her rather than put off or grossed out.
In contrast to Vic, who sluts it up to Jefferson and creates boy drama, but all to serve a callous end-goal of furthering her social standing and career. Similar behaviour, but the motivation makes Victoria corrupt, and depressingly aware of corruptions in society that can be exploited.
>>121424841
Hm, I don't really see it. First, the photos of Rachel really do seem very different than the ones Jefferson takes. She's awake and angry. Rachel then also is not really a fitting subject for Jefferson's vision. And then why would he lie to Max about any of this when he's about to kill her and tells her everything else and Nathan's supposedly already dead? Doesn't make much sense.
>>121425207
>His whole opening spiel was railing against capturing desperation and instead capturing innocence
no his spiel was about capturing the moment when innocence is lost. like when he take an innocent soul and tells them they are going to die
>>121424346
I doubt Nathan would be stupid enough to steal Jefferson's best girl in an attempt to impress him.
And when he drugged Chloe, it was alone in his dorm with a colour camera. Rachel was in the dark room with the whole kit and kaboodle.
Jefferson definitely orchestrated it. He just enlisted Nathan to do the drugging (Max herself says Jefferson 'trained Nathan to drug Rachel and Kate') and got him to take some photos on his own.
>>121425207
>She's a 5'3" country bumpkin and thinks she can run away to LA and make it as a model
She's not from AB by the way. Her family lives in California.
>>121424693

I don't think he put a limit on it, he called her his muse.

It never really hit me until now.
We didn't know Rachel, and yet those photos still frighten, anger, and sadden us. But looking at it for more than a few seconds made me think.
Imagine the sheer rage/ fear Chloe felt when she opened that binder and saw it.
Fuck.
>>121425494
So we can assume that Rachel and Kate were actually his only Arcadia Bay victims and all the other ones were from before he settled there?
>>121425159
It's Sean's handwriting. It's pretty obvious something huge with the Prescotts, Rachel and the storm was cut from episode 5, the way everything is just abruptly dismissed and awkwardly exposited.
>>121425391
I meant his opening spiel in class.
>>121425632

Primarily because it's just so boring and crude. Even if Jefferson was just going to be a lone lunatic obsessed with an artistic vision, you'd at least expect that vision to be more intruiging or at least executed more sophisticatedly.
>She's a 5'3" country bumpkin
Hey, she's 5'5" and isn't she from out of town? Maybe she was naive, and like Jefferson says, LA would have maybe destroyed her, but she just doesn't fit his agenda too well. She's fucked Frank and maybe Jefferson himself, supposedly takes drugs, at least is portayed as this party girl, has tattoos and that earring. That all even visually shows lack of innocence.

KATE I LOVE YOU
>>121425361
Nathan was definitely the one who brought her there and took photos, if not all the photos, but like the other anon said, there's no doubt in my mind that Jefferson was directing him.
Jefferson talks to Max about how he and Rachel had a 'connection' (he also says he and Max have a 'connection' even though she's clearly not too reciprocating on that) and talks about her posing for him - whether he's referring to dark room photos or normal ones.
Rachel was absolutely his type.
I don't think he's exactly lying, he just has a warped view of the truth.
>The dumbass gave her an overdose
Well, Nathan is a dumbass, and he did give her an overdose. That's true. This statement doesn't get in the way of the likelihood that Jefferson wanted it to happen, or that at the very least Jefferson was present at the shoot and was the one who wanted Rachel targeted.
He tells Max that he doesn't have time to tell her the whole story about Rachel, so there's certainly a lot he's leaving out. It's not so much 'why would he lie to Max?' as it is 'why would he bother telling her everything?'
She's either about to die, or escape and be a danger to him. Why bother telling her anything that doesn't serve to boost his ego? Why bother telling her anything but how adoring Rachel was, or how pitiful Nathan was, or how great his own work is?
>>121425771
That's another small detail that pisses me off about Polarized. I was hoping there'd be documents you can find in the Dark Room detailing the history of Jefferson's project. If I recall correctly the nightmare sequence has a section where the dorm has the names of the previous year's girls which includes Rachel, Victoria, Dana and others we've never met. I think Kelly and another name that appeared on the red binders could be seen on the dorm map.

>wheelie!chloe fic

>>121426538

That's not too unreasonable, but I'm just not feeling it. He rants about all kinds of stuff, he wouldn't just stumble over the circumstances of Rachel's death like that, and especially the devs would not have him do that when Rachel is such an important piece in the game. To me it just seems like the genuine truth what he says, Nathan tried on his own to copy Jefferson's work and ended up overdosing her. Maybe Jefferson did have plans for Rachel, maybe he was there for it. But I just don't see the that Jefferson would have set all that up to have leverage on Nathan or something. If anything, Rachel dying set him on edge and Jefferson tells us he killed him because of what happened with Rachel. So yeah, doesn't sound made-up to me, as again, for what purpose lie to Max...
>>121426982
I still think a lot of those girls are from before Arcadia Bay. Back in his Seattle days it was probably easy for him to get some chicks drugged and snap some photos here and there.
>>121427289
Besides, wasn't the thing with Rachel the very reason he didn't talk to him for a long time until Nate brought him Kate
>>121427507
Well, not talking to someone can still be a tactic to get them to do stuff you want. Guilt-tripping and stuff. But killing someone obviously them not such a good tactic for that.
Have there been any theories as to why the game references Twin Peaks multiple times, like any connections between the game and the tv show?
>>121427289
>and especially the devs would not have him do that when Rachel is such an important piece in the game.
But anon, Rachel was already completely dropped in this episode. Episode 4 suggested she died from an overdose at Nathan's hand before introducing the twist of Jefferson being involved. A little throw away line saying basically the same thing while raising a whole bunch of questions and contradictions is not a resolution.
>So yeah, doesn't sound made-up to me, as again, for what purpose lie to Max...
Like I said, it's not made up or a lie.
To take it as something Nathan did on his own directly contradicts pretty much everything we've ever learned, and directly contradicts nothing about what Jefferson is actually stating.
>>121426070
I kinda wished Nathan was with David when he went to save Max. So he could redeem himself.
>>121427736
They both feature a murder mystery in a remote northwestern town?
>>121427621
>Well, not talking to someone can still be a tactic to get them to do stuff you want. Guilt-tripping and stuff.
This, Nathan was fucking butter in his hands thanks to that.
>>121427827
And don't forget about rescuing Victoria.
>>121427905
That and Rachel is pretty much an expy of Laura Palmer.
>>121427736
Rachel is literally Laura Palmer, and the dream sequence was ripping off Twin Peaks' weirdness among other works.
>>121427931
But it also put him on edge a lot. I doubt he was always as twitchy as we see him in game.
>>121428015
Oh man I forgot that Victoria was in the room with my Max D: fuck
>>121424459
Thanks a lot senpau
>>121427764
>But anon, Rachel was already completely dropped in this episode.
We did not know why she died and what lead to her death.
>Like I said, it's not made up or a lie.
Hm? If it's not made-up then Nathan did genuinely overdose Rachel and led to her death, i. e. Jefferson wouldn't have set that up.
And it doesn't contradict what we learn about Nathan. He does the same to Chloe and in general his photography shows fascination with the morbid, even death in particular (which isn't present with Jefferson, so you could even argue he killed her deliberately).
It does contradict what Jefferson says. Jefferson says Nathan tried to copy his work and ended up overdosing her. And he says he had to get rif of Nathan for that. If he set that all up to control Nathan that would be an outright lie.
>>121428253
Retard.
>>121428186
Jefferson was allegedly planning to kill him for a while anyway, just pushing his luck on how much mind fuckery he could get away with - ultimately biting him in the ass no matter what timeline, hoisted by his own petard.
>>121428303
>>121428078
Well Rachel is missing the more supernatural twist that Laura had going.
Also no BOB.
How many choices do you have to get wrong to make Kate jump?
>>121428261
I feel like you're not even reading my posts, I've addressed literally all of this.
>>121427931
And also drives him insane which (when he shoots Chloe) directly leads to Jefferson's bust. And again, he did kill him and wanted to ever since what happened with Rachel. I just don't see that he'd have orchestrated the whole thing. And then not tell Max about it when he does tell her about his plans scapegoating Nathan.
>>121428482
DONTNOD is BOB. They possessed all the characters in the finale and made them all retarded. Look at the names, even.
>>121428518
But anon, choices leading to her jump can only be described as right :)
>>121428391
Funny thing he'd never gotten away with killing Nathan. Because no way would the son of the most influencial person in AB having gone missing be ignored.
>>121428518
Don't intervene. If you know somebody is about to die you have to let it happen because stopping it may anger the universe or some bullshit and cause a huge tornado.
>>121428569
>And again, he did kill him and wanted to ever since what happened with Rachel.
6 freaking months later, when Nathan's conscience finally started to break through enough to confess to Max.
He could have killed him at any point. There's no reason to keep him alive and freeze him out if it's not a manipulation tactic, that's just stupid. If he thought Nathan had gone rogue and was a danger, the prudent course of action is to keep him under his thumb so he can't talk and take him out as early as necessary. Jefferson didn't do that, because Nathan WAS under his thumb, he had a hold over him even when ignoring him, because it was all part of it.
Jefferson brags about how easy Nathan is to manipulate, he's not going to be sitting and pouting for 6 months that the kid went behind his back on something.
>>121428775
ikr, just another retarded thing in this episode.
>b-but I bought him a bus ticket! I'm like a criminal mastermind!
Fuck off, Jefferson.
>>121428775
Didn't Jefferson mention something about creating evidence that Nathan killed Rachel, Chloe, Victoria, etc. and then bought a one-way plane ticket?
Then again, if Jefferson hid Rachel's body. Then a person walking around, or a gust of wind, may kick up some loose top soil and reveal Nathan's body. Then again, the lazy fuck may have just crammed it into a Blackwell locker and Samuel will just think the smell is coming from him.
>>121429213
Maybe he'd keep the body and do a Weekend At Bernies.
Write a fake confession and hurl his body off the Blackwell roof, it's what all the cool kids do these days after all.
>>121428974
I think if anything might have considered him going through with killing Nate then it was that he got wind of Nathan drugging a girl and taking her to hiw own fucking room to make photos. It would make sense, six months after the last fuck up, but another successful kidnapping with Kate, and Nathan pulls a stunt like that.
Jefferson might actually have grilled him pretty hard for that on Monday and that's why he's so wound up in the bathroom actually. Think about it.
>>121429396
Has this actually happened because if so that's pretty sick. Also stupid. A coroner can tell the difference between posthumous marks and cause of death.
>>121429545
You're pretty damn stupid.
>>121429213
Well, he did something similar with Kate in case they OD'd her too, there was a bus ticket to Portland in her locker.
>>121428974
But Jefferson SAYS he wanted to get rid of him ever since that and because of that. Which would be an outright lie if he had planned and used it to control Nathan.
Everything he says in the DR to Max doesn't git with the idea at all that he planned Rachel's death to control Nathan. He has no reason to lie and does tell us how he controlled Nathan with the father relationship, how he wanted to rid of him ever since Rachel, how "welp, poor Rachel would have died in LA anyways". Nothing he says suggests to me at all that he orchestrated the whole thing. I'll go back and listen to the stuff again, but right now I have no doubt in my mind that Jefferson did not want Rachel dead.
>>121428775
I mentioned this before but it still doesn't make sense to me that Jefferson could dispatch Nathan without any trouble. Nathan may be armed with a gun, has a vehicle and his phone still works fine going by his message to Max. He could easily just hide in a public area like the diner or a bar and let the potential witnesses scare Jefferson off. If he was able to contact Max then he'd have no trouble just telling his dad or the police that his life was in danger. We know Officer Berry is being forced to keep an eye on him so he wouldn't be ignored. Even if Jefferson did corner Nathan on time, Sean would probably have paid a hitman to give Jefferson a visit once he learned about his son's disappearance.
Really Nathan is one of the worst possible accomplices Jefferson could have chosen. Not only is he incompetent but his wealth and background as a member of a powerful family is a double-edged sword. If Jefferson made one wrong move Sean Prescott could have easily arranged to have him whacked.
>>121429468
It's unclear whether Jefferson even knew about that.
I was under the impression he didn't, and THAT'S why Nathan was so wound up, because he's terrified he'll find out. I mean, would Jefferson really trust Nathan to handle it? And if he was there under Jefferson's 'guidance', you'd think he'd have been coached to just pay the girl off and get out clean, whereas Nathan tried to improvise.
>>121429651
>But Jefferson SAYS he wanted to get rid of him ever since that and because of that. Which would be an outright lie if he had planned and used it to control Nathan.
No it wouldn't. It could have very easily been part of the plan. It makes no sense to decide to kill someone 6 months ago, then finally get around to it 6 months later, unless the wait was part of the plan.
>>121429929
I wouldn't put it past Jefferson to look through his room just to see if he hides shit.
stop with the walls of text you boring cunts
>>121430084
What could have been part of the plan, lying to Max about it? He says he "knew he had to get rid of Nathan after what happened with Rachel". So, either he didn't want what happened to Rachel to happen, which is what I think, or he is lying to Max, which he has no reason for and doesn't otherwise do.
This thread needs more cute
>>121429740
Nathan didn't do any of that because he was mentally fucking broken by that point. He tells Max he's about to die like he's saying "Don't worry, I'll be out of your hair soon." At best he just has no energy to fight against it, and at worst simply thinks he's getting what he deserves.
Nathan died for lack of trying to survive, that's it. Jefferson's got a mental hold over him to where he's the only person the boy trusts, and Jefferson's now decided it's time for him to die, so who's Nathan to argue? Who would give enough of a crap to help him not die? Even Nathan doesn't give enough of a crap anymore. He's convinced everybody hates him, and has a lifetime of evidence that no one will successfully step in to help him. So what's the point?
>>121430323
It's not a lie, for fucks sake, how are you even this stupid? This is pointless.
>>121430365
I find Max so fucking attractive. Like, I need her man.
>>121430879
She is quite the qt
>>121430365
>>121431102
How can so much cute for into one little picture?
>>121430365
How about older?
>>121430807
You are saying Jefferson set Nathan up to kill Rachel, I say Nathan did on his own, likely by accident. Let's not get into indeed pointless arguments over what makes us think so and just accept it's ultimately all speculation because there's no concrete evidence. We could ask on twitter again, I suppose.
>>121430665
But where does he go? It's not like with Max and Chloe where Jefferson lures them to the junkyard. Nathan knows pretty much every quiet spot that Jefferson might try to kill him. If he didn't want to go to anyone else he could easily just drive out of town. He's got a vehicle and probably has more than enough money to go on the run for a little while. Jefferson might still try framing him for killing Max and Chloe (and Victoria) but the whole thing would become incredibly murky if Nathan did anything to evade Jefferson (which he could quite easily have done). Even if he gave up and killed himself in another city there'd still be a ton of suspicion if Nathan was spotted leaving town before the girls were last seen alive.
>>121431257
>>121431257
Fit. Not for.
Sorry. Phone has literal autism. Take this as an apology.
>>121431421
>But where does he go?
He doesn't go anywhere. He sits and waits to die. There are many, many things he could have done to survive, but he didn't do any of them, because he had no will left to survive. That's all.
>>121431492
Kate is so adorable
>>121431668
Part of him might actually have wanted to die for what he did to Rachel.
>>121431764
Totes adorbs, senpai.
>>121431764
>>121431668
Okay but why not just make a confession to the police by phone and then off himself? He'd die on his own terms, get in one final middle finger at the man trying to kill him, and make it up to the people he'd harmed. I'm sorry but the idea of Nathan going to a place without witnesses and allowing Jefferson to kill him without any hiccups whatsoever is just absurd. I don't care what kind of "hold" Jefferson supposedly has over him. For fuck's sake, the boy is a complete and utter coward. He'd be scared shitless by the prospect of letting the local psychopath have his way with him.
>>121431492
Kate looks like she has a cute little bottom.
>>121432195
>Okay but why not just make a confession to the police by phone and then off himself?
Because he doesn't trust or respect police and the police have no context for what he's telling them. Max knows all about it, and he's been a thorn in her side the entire game, no explanation necessary, just "I'm sorry, and I'm going away now."
>He'd die on his own terms, get in one final middle finger at the man trying to kill him
If he had the strength to give a shit about dying on his own terms, he'd probably give enough of a shit to just not die.
He doesn't want to give Jefferson a middle finger, he's completely wrapped around Jefferson's finger.
>"What are you doing out here in the rain, hipster? Your stupid hair is getting wet."
>"S-sorry..."
>>121432372
It's funny you say that because it's pretty much canon. No need for imagination :)
>>121432195
>>121432734
Someone said he died of shame, and how it would be fitting that he wasn't on screen or fought his demise or spoke to anyone anymore. The call he gives Max can be seen as a great last act that took the last of Nathan's energy. Maybe it would have been more fitting if he had killed himself though.
But really, it would have been better if he had revolted and fought with Jefferson and was killed in the DR before our eyes, what he says in that call he'd then say while he's dying there.
>>121432734
Yeah, no. The odds of everything going as near-perfectly as they did for Jefferson on the Thursday and Friday are astronomically low. Max and Chloe acted like complete retards when they fell straight into an obvious trap when they had everything they needed to get Jefferson arrested even without knowing he was behind it. Nathan behaving in exactly the right manner to let Jefferson kill and frame him is pure wank when he's been characterised as a coward, has dozens of avenues of escape, and is far more likely to shoot himself than let Jefferson do it. Killing off Victoria shifts suspicion to him since its was public knowledge that she was going to go on a trip with him the following day. Plus there was that silly puzzle sequence with David's rescue. In a real fight a veteran like David would have easily killed a middle-aged hipster.
>>121433579
I think it should have depended on how we treated him. And it was probably going to be, but muh budget.
I don't really see him having the mental fortitude to directly rebel against Jefferson in the timeline in question, or he probably would have done it a while ago. But if he'd been present in the dark room, a situation certainly could have occurred in a way that escalated to him possibly killing Jefferson/himself/being killed. Would have made for another interesting and deliciously morbid rewind-escape puzzle if we'd ruined David "Kick That Table" Madsen's life and he wasn't able to find us as a result.
>>121434319
>I don't really see him having the mental fortitude to directly rebel against Jefferson
Hm, well, apparently not. But as you say, maybe if he was in the DR a situation could emerge where his anger boils over. I mean, we do know he literally "sick of people trying to control him" and always on edge and easy to get brutal. Maybe his revolt would have been less of a righteous one and more of a freeing blow. Would have been more dramatic to see that, then his apology while he's dying.
As you are alluding to with the puzzle, with Max there of course she would be expected to help him, so I'd rather have that as a photo scene we focus into where Max is still pretty dazed and can't help.
Come to think of it, how does Max even rewind in the Jefferson scenes with her hand tied down? I guess she doesn't necessarily need to raise her hand, but the game does make kind of a point of that.
>>121434319
>I don't really see him having the mental fortitude to directly rebel against Jefferson in the timeline in question, or he probably would have done it a while ago.
It's not even a case of Nathan rebelling against Jefferson. The problem is that we're meant to believe that Nathan would willingly allow himself to die in a manner that doesn't leave behind any loose ends whatsoever. We know for a fact that he's a loose cannon with repeated fuck-ups. If Jefferson can't trust him to not shout his name in public while on drugs then how the hell is he going to get him to willingly come to a quiet location and die?
>>121433746
>Yeah, no. The odds of everything going as near-perfectly as they did for Jefferson on the Thursday and Friday are astronomically low.
Sure, but Max and Chloe's sudden retardation and Jefferson's sudden incompetence doesn't directly affect Nathan's mental breakdown. It just adds up to become a bit too convenient in a general sense.
There's nothing at all to suggest Jefferson planned for Nathan to behave the way he did - he certainly didn't plan for Nathan to contact Max, which could have been completely disastrous for him (if Max "Oops I'm Retarded" Caulfield had paid attention to her fucking phone since she receives this call before she even gets to the fucking party).
We don't even know how Nathan knew he was going to be killed. It's possible Jefferson was unaware, and didn't even want him to know, and that Nathan knowing was a point against Jefferson's favour. If it's something Jefferson did bank on, yeah, that's fucking retarded - but the retarded part would simply be expecting us to believe Jefferson could predict that specific outcome, not the fact that it nonetheless occurred.
A lot of stupidly convenient things happened in Jefferson's favour, but Nathan's behaviour, taken on it's own, isn't one of them. As someone who's embarrassingly susceptible and has been mentally weak, Nathan's behaviour doesn't even make me blink.
You're right, Nathan's a coward, and sometimes escaping your fate when you're a coward takes strength that you don't have. Sometimes killing yourself instead of waiting to die just takes too much damn initiative. Better to leave it to someone else.
>>121434960
>Would have been more dramatic to see that,
Not only that, but actually seeing with our own eyes what Nathan's role is, his relationship with Jefferson and how Jefferson treats him to get him to do these things. You know, a little pay off for the main driving force of this entire sordid business we've been investigating for 4 fucking episodes. Instead its just "uh, I manipulated him? Oh and he ded btw."
>>121436079
Again, it is kind of powerful to not see him again and does have its own charm. But I agree, it would have been way more rewarding and satisfying like that, and not just have the writer jump into Jefferson and babble about all these things a good story would have gotten us to experience first-hand rather than hear about in some shitty sly monologue. And it's not even like a little focus scene with a Nathan/Jefferson confrontation in the dark room would have been a terrible amount of work; a minute or two would have been enough to show off the dynamic and the collapse of their relationship.

So, /vg/, I have just played through the 5 episodes in one sitting, after managing to completely avoid any sort of spoilers, so now I have to ask:
WHAT THE FUCK?
FUCKING REALLY?
WHY, /vg/? WHY DID THEY FUCK IT UP SO BAD?
And for fucks sake, why didn't we get a kiss on the Save Chloe ending? Was it too much to fucking ask? I've seen that you get one in the "Save AB and tear my heart out of its cavity" ending, so why?
And by gods why do I still want more? Why can't good things end well, or at least decently?

>>121442449
>>121441868
There's no question that 5 is in a much lower league than the other four.
1 was a fine introduction and had an appropriately relaxed atmosphere.
2 was a stronger follow-up that balanced the cosy with the more serious elements.
3 is easily the weakest of those four as it goes way too far with the cosy and ends up being a filler episode.
4 is by far the strongest and made for one of the best episodes made for any adventure game. Had the right length, the right balance of heartwarming and tragic, engaged the player more with actual detective work and made a good setup for a finale (which makes Polarized that much worse).

Something being divided in episodes has never stopped anyone from binge watching a series, and I doubt the experience was any lesser compared to those who had to wait.

I've heard of more extreme game sessions. It would probably take about 15 hours which sounds doable. I'd recommend they take breaks of course but there's nothing wrong with getting it all done in one big go.
>>121443551
>>121443570
Personally, I'd recommend people play it over the course of a 5 day work week. Play Ep1 on Monday, Ep2 on Tuesday, etc.
The advantages are that the episodes are, generally, a reasonable length to play in an evening. It gives enough time to not burn out on a single type of content. It gives time to process what you learn in each episode. It lets them build some hype between episodes (especially the later ones), I always feel like watching the next episode of a TV show after a cliffhanger is never quite the same if I just binge them together. And it lets the content build up with the week - Thursday's/Friday's episodes destroy you, and you get the weekend to recover. :)
There was a "review" recently in which the guy stated that LIS was his "favourite TV show of 2015", meaning that part of the fun of it was being able to discuss each episode with his wife, come up with fan theories, etc, between each episode. I'd have to agree that I adored this element of it as well. So I think if you're missing out on part of the experience if you just binge everything at once - you don't really get time to digest.
>>121442449

I remember how a few months back I said that I wish they'd just released a completed adventure game (I thought it would make the story structure less rigid if they dropped the episodic format).

Which is funny because I said in the beginning that babby's first theory would be a perfectly fine ending if this was a single-release game but completely inappropriate for an episodic game that will drag it out for so long only to go with something so obvious.

>>121445851
It fills you with a crushing sense of loneliness doesn't it? To know that they ended up catering to the lowest common denominator and let players two-time Chloe and went with babby's first theory.

>>121447447
nah not at all. they kissed Chloe too (%79),and if you read Max's journal she chooses Chloe as romance route,still.
but i'm curious. what about pricefield,marshfield and maximum victory shippers then? especially pricefield.. i thought they were much more than c.uck shippers? or they just thought that c.uck kiss was meaningless?
>>121447548
Because you guys won't stop giving the shitposter attention.
So, I saw this months ago and thought it look like a David Cage style interactive movie that's here to pander to the same special snowflakes who liked Gone Homo.
But I keep seeing this general around now at #226 and sites give it a lot of coverage.
Is this actually a real game, or is it an interactive movie, novel, or Walking Simulator? If so, is it any good?
If so are you faggots, dykes, or tumblrinas?
>>121447917

>Is this actually a real game
Yes.
>or is it an interactive movie, novel, or Walking Simulator?
I suppose you could call it that. Gameplay is secondary to the story.
>If so, is it any good?
Up until the final fifth act it's fantastic. Might be a niche game for you though.
>If so are you faggots, dykes, or tumblrinas?
I guess. We post pictures from Tumblr and there have been some confirmed gays in the general.
>>121448198

>>121447917
I'm warning you my friend,don't play this. Both endings are shit and after you finished this game,it causes you feel depressed. You can't eat, you can't shit, you can't pee,you can't sleep, you can't focus anything.
>>121448384
its mostly just stupid/annoying shit she has said, mixed with the few pics of them irland cum tributes

it almost hurts as bad as the ending

Will Stacy's marriage drive a rift between their friendship anon?
I just finished Blue is the Warmest Color both the movie and the comic and realized some things.
A lot of people commented that Chloe Price is a rip off of Emma from the movie. But the comic versions of Clementine and Emma look exactly like Max and Chloe.
Also I swear that Kate Marsh was modeled after the popular French actress Lea Seydoux (now a Bond Girl in Spectre) who played Emma in the movie..
>>121448551
ur not alone,my friend.
Kate!

holy crap...

it's the nose
>>121448628
>someone read the comic
Nice. I thought the movie was pretty good but I loved the comic, even the gimmicky blue as the only color thing.
I think dontnod definitely drew a lot from it visually, as well as the whole timid/less-experienced protag is intrigued with the wild girl thing. But Chloe has way more depth, and their history negates a lot of the initial infatuation.
It also makes me seriously consider the fact that Warren was thrown in so people wouldn't dismiss it off the bat as a lesbian romance game.
>>121449106
Yup.

It's a format for comics. Basically just a sequential archive of individual images. If you don't have a reader, programs like 7zip can extract the images. Anyway, my connection is shit right now so it will take 15min or so to finish

Great. First the game journos, and now the games being forced to have this agenda. Gone Home was the beginning and then TLOU. Pretty soon you can't have straight white male protags. I am sick of this degeneracy.
Who is Kate?

Is this just a piss take or are you actually serious? Straight white guys in games aren't going anywhere. One mid-budget adventure game starring two girls in an (optional) romantic relationship isn't going to change that.
>>121451854
Best girl.
>>121451938
Don't respond to bait.
>>121451854
Best girl.
why are these threads still being made?
I like that one headcanon some anon made about Kate getting rewind powers and using them to go back to when she first met babby Alice.
>>121452012
Because your bait is too shitty and not enough to kill it.
I hate egregious watermarks
>>121452028
That was mine. :3 I like to think she has a picture from the day she first got Alice, and that she'd like to use her focus powers to jump in and play with babby Alice.
>>121452075
remove it
>>121452075
Upload an empty image at the same size to dA, protect it to prevent downloading, subtract from this image.
>>121452103
I just remembered a fic set years later where Alice has to be put to sleep. That would make a babby Alice picture all the more sweeter and sad.
>>121452129

Especially given that this is basically just a trace of Mary-O-o's render over on DeviantART. Pic related.
Funny how those who rip off other people's work are the ones who typically flip their shit over other people doing the same to them.

Daily reminder that Kate is best girl and Warren is a c.uck

Fuck, I'm glad I didn't play this shitty nongame.
First the devs force a minority character into their first game. When publishers want something less risky and ask them nicely to change it, they dont. Thus the publishers dont give devs the budget they wanted so they cry to the press to gain the sympathy of SJWs. The publishers understand the market and that core gamers are mostly White and Asian males with disposable incomes. How about you let the market decide and dictate instead of pushing your agenda?
Then they try this shit again with their second game.
Then they cry "muh budget" when they can't do something as simple as lip syncing and delivering endings.
And as I suspected I now see the whole thing is just to pander to Tumblrinas, and radfems.

>''Players are still debating which choice was “right.” Saving the whole town yields a longer, more developed ending, but why abandon true love? Others whine that Warren, the wan male love interest who has a crush on Max, gets short shrift on attention from the girls, perhaps just like the players themselves did. Talk about sympathetic storytelling. I first chose to save Arcadia Bay, but of course, once I knew the ending, I went back and played through the other option.''
someone finally said it. thank god.

Can we lay the problems with Remember Me and Life is Strange at the feet of Capcom and Square Enix?
Both games had to compromise their vision because of budget issues.

No my child it's me. i just mistyped it ^^
>>121454804
Yes way.No, they probably created the hospital for "Hospital ending" as well. But since we don't know why it was cut out/replaced with "Cemetery ending", there's no way to say for sure.
>>121454687
>Both games had to compromise their vision because of budget issues.
And they ran out of time.Game ended with cliche endings and then they just said ''use your imaginations :)''

It could be less cliché than these shitty endings

>>121454447
I am not a SJW, I find them annoying as hell. I am not even a liberal, I am a Libertarian Centrist. Or a libtard as you might call me. I believe in gun rights, and personal rights, trade rights, property rights, and the right to be un PC.
I do not trust the gaming press one bit. Even before Jeff Gertsmann's firing, we all knew they were a joke. The early gaming press was all just part of the PR marketing wings of gaming companies anyway (Nintendo Power, Game Informer.)
Modern outlets like Kotaku and Polygon write only about politics of games instead of games, they are just Sarkeesian lite.
But fuck, you GamerGaters are retards. You claim you want people to stop pushing their agenda and yet you do nothing but push your own. You claim you're fighting about ethics and yet won't own up to the real reason and goals of your "consumer revolt."
The only one pushing their agenda are /v/irgins and /pol/tards such as yourself, who came here solely to inject your politics into our thread. You can't even write without a buzzword in every sentence.
So they're gay. Or not. It's completely player choice dependent. Get over it.
And since when is a woman a minority?

i'm trying to love this kid but i can't.
This is curious.
I was going through location previews, and this is clearly a hospital... but it's labeled "Beach".
I wonder if it was just a placeholder.

>>121455431
Despite the shitposting near the end we had a lot of great discussions in this thread. I especially enjoyed Jefferson's lack of talent, Rachel's revenge, and the possible route the game could've taken by Nathan having a heel face turn to bring down Jefferson and the cut lines.
>>121447917
The first four episodes are seriously the best gaming experience I've ever had and show such incredible potential for episodic gaming as a medium for interactive, superbly engaging storytelling - something that's been attempted over and over lately, but never before achieved in my opinion with such intrigue and fluidity.
Then the ending is suddenly worse than Hitler and makes you want to nuke everybody - and not in a good "wow such passion" kinda way, just in a "this is some serious bullshit" kinda way.
>>121455287
>You claim you're fighting about ethics and yet won't own up to the real reason and goals of your "consumer revolt."
Ehh, I'm always a little skeptical when I see people coming out so harsh over hashtag campaigns like this. I'm more-or-less an outsider, but the overall Gamer Gate narrative has been reasonably consistent from the start, even if they turned out to be embarrassingly misguided about most of the Zoe Quinn stuff that kicked it off in the first place. They've been successful enough that there has been a fair bit of turnover on the vidya journalism websites, many of their targets finally updated ethics policies to be more explicit about vested interests, and so forth. It's hard to argue that point. But when it comes to a largely decentralised hash-tag movement, it's always going to be easy to find fringes who are being dicks. So given it all, I'm always skeptical when I hear people going on about what Gamer Gate is "REALLY" (TM) trying to do. More than anything, it seems to be some strange reversal on the "no true Scotsman" fallacy.
But wutever.
>>121454804
There was originally going to be a Hospital ending. They seemed to run into their storytelling problems in episode 4, with the cut storm lines, cut Jefferson's Car scene, and clumsy logic of the third act. They probably just cannibalised an already created hospital asset and threw together that useless Kate scene to at least make use of the money spent building the location.
