Before Episode 5's release:
>Lol Mari's theories're shitty.It's way more than shitty to become true
>Chloe has to die thing doesn't make sense.Don't worry they will come with unpredictable story
>We're gonna learn everything about Max's powers,Rachel and Prescotts even Nathan,spirit animals..
>Jefferson knows about Max's powers
>Nathan,Frank,David or Samuel's gonna save us
>Victoria's with Max,she'll save her
>(After seeing Cemetery scene from leaks) I'm sure it'll be Williams,Rachel's or Kate's grave.
>Rachel's the doe and Butterfly and probably we'll see her in Max's dream
>Blue Jay's Chloe

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

Replaying, something struck me about Bay that I rarely see mentioned in the arguments.

The choice at the end of the AU fundamentally strips the final binary of its significance if you think about it. Everybody who has reached the end of episode 5 has already made the same decision already - whether to go along with Chloe resigning herself to a seemingly fated death, or to stand up against it and refuse to leave her.
Furthermore, even if 'the universe demands Chloe must die' is a fait accompli, AND you are willing to kowtow to this, the AU is an infinitely better version:
>William is alive
>Joyce is happy
>Max isn't in any trouble
>Chloe dies in bliss in a comfortable bed on the happiest day of her life >dies dreaming of her and Max together forever
>dies right after telling Max how much she loves her
But this timeline is just discarded and Max doesn't even mention it regarding the final 'maybe we should use a photo to let Chloe die alone in a filthy bathroom never having seen her best friend' (not even to say 'huh, if I knew Chloe had to die I should have stayed in that timeline' if we are to accept it was too late to fish out the William photo and jump over)

You could argue that William being alive would keep the universe fucked up, but this seems to be rebutted by the fact that Max using her powers to save Kate never caused problems (first, rewinding her falls and freezing time to talk to her; in Bay, proactively stopping her from ever going to the roof)

>>180693913
There's a big difference between the dilemma and the alternate timeline and what's being asked to be done in the Bay timeline.
In the alternate timline, Chloe is dead. It's just a question of how much time and the circumstances. She has three options there: Die with Max by her side (Though it would have been even more emotional if she called her parents in as well), die whenever her condition weakens her to the point she cannot go on, or possibly die in the coming storm. It's a terrible situation that Max immediately goes back and undoes even if she knows what it means will happen. Chloe will go through five years with a lot of bad times, but she will live and have the potential for a better future. Max knows it's better for Chloe and Max tries to impart some words to give Chloe strength, even though Chloe didn't know at the time what was going on.

The Bay timeline is not giving Chloe or her parents any mercy. It's undoing all the maturing Chloe did, all the things she learned, and eliminating the potential for any future for her. It's the worst thing Max could do to herself and her friend and the fact it's even an option is a betrayal of who Max is.

Nice thoughts.

I also like to expand more about the Kate thing. I been bring up the fact that Max gains the power by witnessing a traumatic event. She doesn't even recgonize the person she gets shot until later. In Episode 2, Max gains a new power/ability: Time Stop after seeing Kate, someone that she does know and recognize, jump to her death. This is another traumatic event.

So if such traumatic event happens later in Max's life, wouldn't she gain the same/similar powers anyways regardless if Chloe is alive or dead?

>>180695024
Not that Anon you replied to, but that's a possibility I've thought of. That even if Chloe dies (Ignoring all the logical inconsistencies in that for the sake of this argument) that Max still knows things she wouldn't know without the power. Saying or doing something may be a change because of what Max already knows and that could trigger another storm, disaster, or or other bad consequences. Or, as you said, Max's powers could awaken again if she witnesses something particularly distressing or that is about to seriously harm her. Not that I think Max using her power would always cause something bad, that seemed to be a one time thing due to the very first rewind which she could not control.

Rachel is number #2

I'm sure that this has been pointed out, but according to a postcard in Chloe's room, Arcadia Bay is in zip code 97141 (a real zip code which includes Tillamook, most of Tillamook Bay, and Cape Meares. Garibaldi is just outside of it).

>>180695585
when i bring this up to bay people, they say that knowing information about other timelines and little changes to the timeline doesn't matter so it wouldn't summon a storm.
how they can be so sure of that i have no idea. this goes against the whole butterfly effect the game has going on.
the original timeline is impossible to restore for many reasons.

>>180696064
Kate is number 2. Rachel is number 5 or 6 behind Brooke, Dana and Alyssa.

>>180696510
As a former Bayfag, that's a very, very good point, but it's not a guarantee that'll change the way she acts, although it almost entirely is, and Chloe's death had such a huge impact that it's not comparable to, say, knocking a camera off a desk.

>>180696915
yes of course a death of Chloe and dropping her camera are on complete different levels. just think about all the little changes that will built up. Max will act different towards different people such as David, rest of the Prescott family, Victoria, Kate, and others. Small changes? Sure. Not enough to cause the storm? Possibly. We're not sure though. It's all a possibility.

The whole idea of "Some changes are okay but saving Chloe is a no" is admission of defeat.
Bayfags argued that because Max changed time, that caused the storm and the only way to stop the storm was to go back and not change time, the instant you bring up that Max made changes before saving Chloe and they're moving the goalposts.

>>180694570
I'm not sure if there's a disagreement here. My point was simply that, as I understand the purported logic of the time travel, if Max euthanized Chloe and stayed in the AU the storm would be gone just like in Bay but everything would be much better overall.
This is to say, Bay is still shitty even if you accept DONTNOD's time travel logic as 100% solid and bulletproof.

GAAAHHHH!

What a horrible nightmare.

>>180699839
I don't think the storm would be gone there. I mean we don't get to see that timeline through to the end of the week so it may have.
If there was any logic with the time travel then there wouldn't be any dying animals and coming storm in that timeline since Max removed the situation of Chloe and Nathan from even happening, thus getting rid of her saving Chloe. Maybe that timeline would be better than the Bay timeline but it's still full of misery. Chloe's dead, her parents are grieving and now in a huge amount of debt, and Max is left in a timeline where she's alone.
I really think any ending that's not Max and Chloe together is inherently depressing and should be avoided if possible. So that Chloe is alive and can grow, and so that Max is not left alone with the knowledge of her power and what she's been through.

Well yeah, I guess that's inherently true since the intended plot demands it - IE if you cornered Michel and asked him he'd surely give some mumbo-jumbo about higher-order causality and how you needed to go back to the 'true' beginning to stop the storm.
In this regard I suppose my point is another criticism of the internal logic rather than the intended logic. Still seems a bit weird there wasn't even a throwaway line to handwave it.

I really love max. Like i really LOVE her character. and i am so fucking dissapointed that Max will not be returning in LiS2. No, im talking talking about the prequel but the actual life is strange 2 that dontnod is making.
Max honestly made it right into my top 3 protagonists ever, and dontnod NOT adding her to the season 2 is fucking criminal. Whats the point of even calling naming it the same IP if it wont continue maxs story?
I want to see how max as a character develops after the game, about how she goes from shy teenager to adult hood.
They pretty much confirmed (although granted still very quiet about it) that >Maxs story is over.
Max still has stories to tell god damn it.
if dontnod goes through with this decision for max to be missing from season 2 i dont see myself carrying enough about the series after the prequel.
Why even build 2 games off of characters that arent going to matter anymore? anyone else feel this way?

It's heartbreaking yes but they might ruin Max and Chloe with a potential Season 2 that has them again. It will print money but they have decided to go another direction. Plus they don't want to cannonize any of the final choice ending.

I want to see Max grow up too. To see her become more confident in herself, to master her powers, to excel at her photography and make a name for herself, to inspire people with her work, to see her live her dream of traveling the world with Chloe, to see her eventually settle down and have a family with the woman she loves. To enjoy the life she deserves and has earned.
But I guess we'll just have to decide for ourselves the specifics of that stuff and whatever else since we won't be getting it from Dontnod.

Yep. Max and Hamlet are my favorite protagonists I've ever encountered. I know it's a stretch to jump from LiS to Shakespeare, but they each excellently capture different parts of the archetypal 'observer'. Hamlet has his death drive, and Max her life drive. Hamlet has to deprive himself of Ophelia, Max has to allow herself Chloe.

>>180702970
It's probably for the best. I'm not sure I could trust them to not just torture Max even more. Or worse, go full retard and write a continuing story for her but leaving out Chloe.

What the fuck about this game garners 514 threads.

Funny little thing I noticed: In episode 2, right after you have a chance to take a picture of the transparent deer, it leaps away. Trying to rewind it doesn't work (it just continues bounding away) and Max comments on it. ("What? My rewind power doesn't work on it?")

Im a bayfag but i do not care if the baegroup gets their ending canon. in fact id rather have them not make a season 2 if they arent going to bring back max.

Its sort of ballless imo for them to say
>oh well we dont want anyone to feel their ending wasnt canon
Damn just man up and give us a canon ending and continue the story like everyother game does damn it.
They really risk writing the same story with new character names, rather than letting max develop into a woman.
Plus bae ending felt unfinished to me, but unfinished in a sense that it implies a lot more open ending. we dont know who dies or if anyone dies the only thing we know is that ether way david is still alive and nathan and jefferson end up caught or dead.

I feel like i've been grasping a straws because ive been paying attention to what dontnod has been saying
>play as YOUNG max one last time
mmm maybe this just means this is the last time we will play as 13 year old max
>Max and chloes story we think has been told we want new characters now
Oh wait maybe this doesnt even mean anything because they said this interview was done in between episode 4 and 5 and this was at a point where they werent sure if they were doing a season 2.


The prequel feels like they are just cashing in on our feelings, they know people have strong connections to both chloe and max or one of the other and they are building the hype for season 2 off the back of max for those few people who dont follow every word dontnod says and think that max will return for season 2.
theres always a chance they could change their minds but i doubt it.
>builds a season off one character
>builds a season and a prequel season off another much loved character
>gets rid of both of them after building the world around them
Seriously dont even bother making a new season. or at least name the IP something different now.

there was town that was swallowed by the sea in the 30's or something near there

>>180704357
I don't think anything existed where Arcadia Bay itself is in the game. The town was obviously inspired by real locations but the specific spot on the map is in the middle of water, probably to avoid any conflicts or people flocking there.
Though I wonder if the Tillamook and Garibaldi areas have had any increases in business and tourism since 2015.

>>180704278
Max doesn't have autism!

But Dontnod is probably never going to come around and do what needs to be done. They see the focus of the Bae ending as Max and Chloe, which is entirely true but in order to tell how they are going to fare after the storm we need to know just what the storm did. While I believe most people, including their friends and family, survived, having no confirmation about anything just feels like such a weak ending.
Not to forget the imbalance between the two endings in length and content. Even just adding a few photographs to the end of the Bae ending to show some hints would have helped.
I fear that if Dontnod did want to continue the story then they would go from the Bay ending since it's what most people picked. If that was the case then I would refuse to even consider playing a sequel. The only option would be to patch the original game to have only one ending built off a third choice and use that to set things up for the sequel.

They did have a 3rd ending at one point but cut it, you could save everyone and chloe but chloe would of been put in a coma, which honestly i feel that feels more fucking complete.

all i saw was a tall brown haired girl and though

Oh shit... is that an older max? Is that max having a melt down at the junk yard because she couldnt save chloe? They made the bay ending canon and are now showing a now graduated max dealing with loss and depressing and rage all while taking a bit of chloes style in order to honor her?
Oh shi... oh wait its a prequel and that was just 16 year old chloe. damn it.

it's the power of Pricefield. Quiver before them!

>>180705389
That 3rd ending was the original bay ending. From what everyone can fine, there was always going to be two endings. Chloe wasn't going to die in either but they figured the coma scenario was too similar to the alternate timeline so they changed it to Chloe dying, while doing nothing to change the rest of the story to support that. We see Chloe die and the storm still comes in Episodes 4 and 5.
Even then I don't think that hospital ending would gave been as complete. Not unless we saw Chloe wake up and some kind of epilogue of her and Max reuniting.

Since about halfway through the game, the only ending I saw was Max and Chloe leaving the town together. Maybe the storm would be stopped and maybe not. Everyone here knew the possibility of the final bae vs bay choice but wrote it off as being way too stupid to be done. It was the most predictable route and would have been extremely easy to convey, but Dontnod tried to make things appear more interesting by misleading the players. Which just pissed off those who were actually paying attention to things and thinking their vigilance would be rewarded at the end.

/lisg/ found images of the prequel before the news broke so the BtS stuff at E3 wasn't any real surprise, we knew it was Chloe and Rachel. There'll be that bonus episode with young Max and Chloe but that's right as Max leaves for Seattle so it's unlikely we'll see anything in terms of an ending to their story. Unless Dontnod does a complete 180 and becomes inspired/desperate to continue the story, we'll have to settle for fan art, fics, and videos.

the thing is what happened in-game bad copy of the butterfly effect. eventually they followed their rules for tragedy's sake, but they didn't even be loyal to it.

however bayfags can't understand this because they haven't paid attention to it.

>>180696915
what happened in AU timeline was biggest fuck-up and foreshadowing that ending choices will not be make sense anyway. because game was completely ignoring what has Max changed in the past, such as ripping out some various photos, but storm was somewhat obsessed with Max's bathroom actions (and we know storm isn't obsessed with deleting Chloe from timeline because when she died in one of them before the storm, storm was still coming)

https://youtu.be/I-zQtYmFCb0

>>180707592
Well, I chose Bay for a reason, but my issue with the ending was that the main focus of the game was on Max and Chloe's relationship at the expense of explaining her powers or rectifying flaws in the narrative's logic.

>>180708178
What reason would that be? You say you love Max but you did something that would kill her.

>>180708178
you're not focused on time-travel rather than her girls' love for each other but you're still agreeing on bay endings' not making sense. eh, I'd be okay for that.

well we (at least I'm talking for myself) I prefer to discuss about time-travel no matter it was used as metaphor, no matter devs ignored rules, it was part of the game which shouldn't be ignored for tragedy's sake. I had two reason to avoid bay ending: nonsense of time travel, and it's possibility to coming back. Max's can't living without Chloe afterall those things are happened.

>>180708178
Almost every song in this game makes me tear up when i remember the context, seeing the funeral scene still fucks me up. when i finished the game i kept waking up depressed and id went through 2 years of non depression, this game brought it back. seriously fuck and love this game.

>Chloe is a good character but why does she get all the fan service and another whole game?

She's the most compelling. Max was somewhat bland by design. Chloe's backstory is also integral to the first game and played a huge role in turning her into such an interesting, albeit tragic, person. There's no direction we could go with Max's character that would be as illuminating or interesting as Chloe's.

>>180708329
>>180708329
It felt right in my gut. I could spend plenty of time rationalizing it, but that's the real reason. Why the accusatory tone?

Max managed to live without Chloe for five years. I honestly belief she deserved some pain for alienating a best friend that was in so much pain.

>>180708463
>I had two reason to avoid bay ending: nonsense of time travel, and it's possibility to coming back
The content of 90% of pro-bae arguments boils down to this, but I don't even think it's necessary. For me, there would have been zero hesitation in saving Chloe even if every last nuance of the time travel made perfect sense and it was irrevocably demonstrated that 'everybody in the town dies now, or Chloe dies'
It's just an abortive self-effacement to play through the ~15 hour game, save Chloe over and over again, get to know her, and then throw her away at the end.

Whether half the bay, the whole bay, or the entire Western Seaboard, Max swears over and over again in dialogue, commentary, and her journal that she is never leaving Chloe again no matter the price.

Funeral scene? There wasn't one of those in the game. Unless an extended bae ending shows Max and Chloe going to Rachel's funeral.
With Max comforting Chloe, Frank showing up, and then the three of them having a group hug before going to the junkyard to set up a memorial.

>>180708740
I remember what you've said while defending Bay ending:

>Max is a terrorist

yeah. Now fuck off.

>Max
>Somewhat bland
She's a way deeper character, she felt more human than the other characters, she has backstory written about her and hidden things about her, like how she has high functioning autism or even a 2.8 gpa, which says a fucking lot about her, her shyness and cuteness, also the fact they says shes "pure"
not only that but her entire personality is fucking great. Max is anything but bland.
She's one of the better written protagonists ive ever played.

>>180709165
That's the ultimate truth of it all. Regardless the price, Max will save Chloe because Max cannot live knowing she let her best friend die in such an awful way.
She made the mistake of abandoning Chloe once because she was too chicken shit to call. She's back now and has more confidence and conviction, she will not make the same mistake again.
All the arguments about logic and rationality are just adding to that choice that was already made. That Max will save Chloe as she did the whole game because that's what her heart tells her to do.

That's a better ending then Bae got. Those three lighting candles at the memorial with Joyce and David standing in the background would've given closure and ensured the characters that were worth saving survived the storm.

>>180709301
She wasn't much more than a stereotypical hipster, minus the fakeness. Her shyness and cuteness grew on me toward the end, but I never saw her as more than a generic art student.

Her genuineness won me over by the end, but I won't defend her lack of originality.

>>180709165
it's necessary while you are talking about time-travel, but yeah I agree. Max's choice would be on Chloe's side no matter what.

we're not defending it just because time-travel ofc, there are other reasons either. I mean how can someone think that Max'd be okay after Bay ending? moving on is not that easy especially if you'd been through magical things. the song they put that ending was foreshadowing ''not good'' things also.

Not the same guy who's been saying i love max but i choose the bay ending. Im a different poster.

I personally choose bay ending because it just felt the right thing to do at the time. I dont have an ending i like more but i will say the bae ending felt unfinished for pretty much the other reasons people said.
Although i do think the bae ending opens up the possibility of a "good" ending because we dont exactly know who's dead and who's not.
the bay ending has a little bit more power to it when i watched it.

I just wish they would pick an ending and have max in season 2.
If bae ending is canon so fucking be it. i wont fret. anything to have max in season 2.

I figure as much but at this point there's already an inferno so a little more kindling won't hurt much. Guess I'm the real "Line Break Anon", since that was the name Bayest apparently decided to bestow upon me, thinking I care about being known.
But seeing as how I've been getting accused of just about everything under the sun, I will say that's the first time in probably ten or so thread I bothered to actually click on one of her posts and reply directly. Though admittedly a few posts were made as replies but were not direct responses (No (You) so it doesn't count)
I just wish /lisg/ could just move on from this crap happening every thread.

>>180710524
it was my first play through, im going to play it all again (even though i only need to play the last episode fuck it) and do with the bae ending. Ill stand by my thoughts that the bay ending is way more emotional and the bae ending is unfinished but i hate how much both endings hurt max.
If they ever decide to make an ending canon it i wouldnt care desu.
In fact if they confirm bae ending and confirm no one important got hurt that would be perfect.
(although corny)

>>180710407
Do not forget that Max has all of her photos in the Bae ending. She can go back to multiple points in the week and try to change things for the better by saying that they need to warn more people or find some way to get the town to evacuate.
Max also keeps the butterfly photo in the Bay ending so it's only a matter of time until she does go back and save Chloe. Wouldn't be more than a few days though due to the way the autopilot Max works. Max wouldn't want to let tons of time pass between her and Chloe that she did not remember.

>She wasn't much more than a stereotypical hipster [...] I never saw her as more than a generic art student.
I'm not part of the usual lynchmob that follows you around, but this is a low blow. Max being a 'hipster art student' is a surface-level reading usually relegated to offhand insults like Nathan's "tweemo bitch" or Victoria's "waif hipster bullshit"
Max is slavishly earnest in her interests and self-aware to a fault. She is a subversion of a pigeonholed identity, and you have to almost deliberately resist her characterization to reach the opposite conclusion.

It's extraordinarily rare to see a general like this where 'waifu'ing the protagonists causes outrage, and I'd easily attribute that to how far Max falls from the usual cookie-cutter dreamgirls one finds in media. Not the least of which her fairly railroaded queerness.

well confirmed. it's up to your imagination:)

but presentation in bae ending saying otherwise. the damage that town took was saying, there might be loss but it's impossible to think EVERYBODY ded in that town. especially when you see diner didn't explode in that timeline.

>>180711293
>Max is slavishly earnest in her interests and self-aware to a fault. She is a subversion of a pigeonholed identity, and you have to almost deliberately resist her characterization to reach the opposite conclusion.
I agree. That's what made her character endearing, but an earnest version of an often shallow cliche is not original or particularly interesting. The game did a great job showing she was genuine in her interests. Her dedication to Chloe proved her emotional integrity.

Nonetheless, her character wasn't that original or intriguing.

>It's extraordinarily rare to see a general like this where 'waifu'ing the protagonists causes outrage

It speaks less to the quality of the character and more the quality of the posters. /lisg/ appreciates the game and the characters.

If the prequel does well enough then SE may give someone the rights to do a Pricefield sequel episode or two.
But I'm not sure I would like that. For one, for as much crap as Dontnod pulled with the plot and time travel, they did also write Max and Chloe and create their awesome relationship. Another team may not be able to do that justice.
Secondly, I don't want SE to just see LiS as some cash cow and start making tons of side projects about it that result in more inconsistencies and drops in quality.
Thirdly, there's the possibility that a sequel would just say something dumb like everybody dies and then we see Max and Chloe act miserable. That's hardly realistic or fitting to their story.

For those reasons, I think it's best the story is left as is. As much as I want to see it continued, enough damage has been done. The integrity of the game has been shored up by its good parts and the open ending allows some things to be salvaged through use of the I-word, but adding onto the canon may just weigh it down and make the whole thing founder. Which would be a real shame to see the entire game ruined.

I'm already nervous (but optimistic) about the prequel, but I don't think stuff like that should become a trend. I think it's best to just leave it to the fans to create, discuss, and share how they think Max, Chloe, and everyone else does after the storm. At least I know a large part of /lisg/ can create good ideas or has respect for the characters.

>>180712304
is that too late to ask killing yourself?

>>180712304
No faggot, I'm not fan of endings neither but there's possibility that they may fuck things up even more. I'm saying I may trust Dontnod on contuining the story but if Square Enix influence them at some point which they always do for money's sake (which we'd seen with season 1) they will fuck their story up even more.

So their story should end with farewell episode. There's no need to dwell on it.

>LiS wiki says "If Max prevented Kate's suicide she has a good chance of surviving the storm, as she planned to leave the town after her hospitalization with her parents on Friday morning"

Where is this actually said in game? Because that'd all but confirm she survives.

>>180726454
Just out of curiosity, if the game did confirm without a shadow of a doubt that Kate dies in the bae ending, would that make anyone hesitate to choose it? Or would everyone still be 100% certain about their choice?

>>180726454
I think in the hospital conversation Kate mentions that her parents are coming to pick her up the following day.

>>180726773
100% certain. Looking at the aftermath, it is unlikely that Kate did die, but I made my choice with the knowledge that everyone could die. It wasn't about that.

Honestly the game could confirm that Max and Chloe die from the storm too and my choice wouldnt have changed. I made the choice with the main belief being that further changes to the past could only cause more harm. Thats what the game had shown me over and over again.

>>180726454
As I said before if we *can* save her in-game there's gotta be chance for her to survive. Also hospital wasn't shown in town's map in episode 1 (even though hospital ending was their first intention until episode 4) so it makes you think that it's out of the town.

Don't make me laugh anon. Call me nitpicker,whiny or whatever but ending's presentation screaming like there are many survivors.

We're talking about magical storm here which was supposed to kill,delete town from the map.. but ridicilously this tornado is unable to blow away even this town's signboard, and some buildings were half destroyed the only worst damage was whale in house and even that house barely destroyed. In other timeline, where Jefferson shot Chloe and storm was still coming, there were more damage (diner exploded etc. etc.) in this ending if diner were exploded we should've seen at least some black scars or any evidence that showing that it really exploded.

Also Arcadia Bay is getting used to tornadoes right? There should be shelters,stormbunkers which Prescotts owns etc. I mean it's really ridicilous when someone's saying EVERYBODY IN TOWN DIEEEEDDD after this presentation or developers obviously failed.. Not denying that there might be loss but come on. You can't really tell me that there's no survivors after what's shown.

Man it makes me think how arguing with bayfags is such annoying experience.
Their starting point is always "everyone died / thousands of people died. You are bullshitting yourself if you think otherwise!".
There is literally not a single reason to think "everyone" would die. Or even most of people.
If you look at the list of the most deadly tornadoes ever recorded, the death toll of the biggest one is 1,300. It's also stated that it levered everything on its path to the ground. That is very clearly not what happened in Arcadia Bay, so the LIS tornado, you can safely say, wasnt the deadliest tornado ever recorded in human history. In fact if you go over the description of the top 10 tornadoes, none of them sound similar to the destruction the tornado in AB caused.
Claiming "surely everybody died!" is just fucking retarded.
If we assume the population of AB is around the same as population of the town its based on, that is 5,000 people, saying 5% of the population died in the tornado is already stretching it.

>200 something people dead still makes you a murderer!

I'm not interested in disputing baby's first moral dilemma here, just wanted to say how the "everyone ded" narrative is braindead af. It requires you to assume everyone suddenly got mind controlled and started running right into the tornado to meet their plot required demise.

The final choice is "Sacrifice Arcadia Bay", not "Sacrifice everyone in Arcadia Bay to the Storm God".

It's also ridicilous when they say they did the morally right choice but ironically defending that one person's dying (and that person's supposed to be someone you love from Max's pov) isn't bad thing. One's live can be measured to them, right?

I am also not defending this just because I chose it. I'm neither endings' fan really, when leak anon gave us leaks, I'd already stated that my decision would be saving Chloe, no matter I'd get disappointed if baby's time-travel cliché theory becomes right. Actually I made this choice for Max and Chloe's sake I wasn't really looking much to that meaning.

But whenever people starts rambling about EVERYBODY DED YOU KILLED THOUSANDS i'm laughing with my ass off. Well then show me any evidence rather than imagination/and your stupid interpreation, and from that aftermath tell me that WHOLE people died in there. Because I really should be stupid to think ''not everyone'' dead from that presentation,right?
I'd totally believe if everyone's dead, if they added little dialogue or the scene where they showing fate of Arcadia Bay, for example in News/newspaper where they are saying no-one could managed to survive etc. but we only got a scene where they don't talk shit, where this poor presentation given. So I have rights to think,not everyone died, there are survivors..

Choice may say ''Sacrifice Town'' but the way they presented the ending was ''Let's ''pretend'' we killed everyone in arcadia bay''

Sorry Chloe, Arcadia Bay comes first. You're totally right. There's no way we can possibly be wrong about this. Even though we're safe at the lighthouse, I need to go back in time right now to let you die because suddenly I have decided to save everybody else and let you die. So I'm going to use my time powers, that is causing the storm, to go back in time again, to enter a point of time where I have already altered the past and already had the vision of the tornado already,to get rid of the storm. Even though 5 minutes ago, I said that I can't keep fixing everything when all I'm going to do is keep breaking it over and over again. Even though I already let the storm hit the town when I was in San Francisco and the primary reason why I'm even here is because of you, I care more about the people of Arcadia Bay now. Yes, I said it was destiny to save you but now I'm going to let you die and reset the entire week we had together in order to save the lives of people whom I didn't bother warning them about the storm.
Thank you Chloe, for teaching me life lessons that I didn't really need to know because I was doing just fine before I got the powers. I finally learned that I need to let you go even though we haven't talked to each other in 5 years before this week and I didn't even know it was you who I saved until later. Now time to save hicktown.

Plebs are BTFO'd again.

I just finished this game, and I don't understand something

Because Max kept saving Chloe, the storm was made to kill her, and the only way to stop the storm was to have her die? Or was it because Max kept fucking with time and that created the storm?

That's disgusting. I know a lot of awesome art comes from Tumblr, but then there's crap like that. Things that for some reason try to make characters more diverse but just end up being insulting.
Max isn't black (She's Irish, that's like as far from black as you can get), that's not Juliet, and Dana is not some buff Spaniard.
Fucking Tumblrinas.

>>180739148
I'm warning you, nothing makes sense.

If storm was really wanted to get rid of Chloe, storm had to be stopped in the timeline where Jefferson shot her.

So, briefly, storm was somehow obsessed with Max's actions in bathroom and ignoring other fuck-ups in timeline. Storm was only coming to hit arcadia bay to restore its own balance after this bathroom action.

>but an earnest version of an often shallow cliche is not original or particularly interesting

I'm not seeing this in the first place. What 'good' character in existence doesn't consist of some identity or a subversion of identities? Beowulf is a warrior-turned-king. Stephen Dedalus is an effete intellectual buffeted by base emotions. Betty Elms is an ingenue. Henry from 'Firewatch' is a stoic broken in the face of midlife problems.
If one accepts that Max is a 'hipster art student' or some conception of this in the first place, I fail to see how that's any different from her being a tortured suburbanite, a carefree stoner, a melancholiac wallflower, or anything else. These are real people who exist in the world and can be found in every highschool and college in America.

The only character in LiS I would definitively call 'bad' is early Nathan, as he is a carbon copy of a media meme with zero basis whatsoever in reality - the schizophrenic rich kid who is cartoonishly evil and powerful and openly brags about buying cops. He certainly grabs attention, but it's hard to see him as a real person when his identity is an invented convenience.

yeah. I love diverse characters but when tumblrhinos change already established characters to black/fat/trans and circle jerk how progressive that is I cringe.
Especially when they they change characters into racial caricatures but are too self righteous to realize they are actually being insulting.

Is Max really of Irish descent? I remember Chloe saying "you've got that Irish luck" to her once but I thought thats just some kind of saying.

>>180739978
I mean everything else happened after she saved Chloe so those events wouldn't happen if Chloe died. But to say that Chloe surviving creates the same storm across multiple timelines is some bullshit. Especially when Max has visions of the storm before anything and when we're led to believe that a copy of the photo, taken after Max already saved Chloe and rewound time, is as effective as the original. Nothing about the storm makes sense which is why it should be ignored and treated like any other natural event- unavoidable and without blame.

>>180740284
I agree how absurd it would be to say that Chloe's life is what causes the storm, I was trying to point that out with my post.
It just doesn't make sense why Max messing with other's lives wouldn't add on to the storm or create a second tornado.
And if it was true and if we assume Max retains her powers in the bay ending the she would definitely try to save lives again, would that keep causing storms? Unless for some reason the universe knew that she would be close to Chloe and that made the consequence of her life bigger and if it was someone Max didn't care about the butterfly effect would be a mere gust of wind.
Max would not be able to live with herself if every time she was faced with an option to save someone she'd have a binary choice in the end.

>>180740245
Pretty sure she's Irish. The last name Caulfield and her father being named Ryan point to that.

I'm sure their initial reaction would be pretty amusing but they'd see the old Chloe they used to know as well. Maybe a little bit of tension at the very start of things but everyone gets along quickly. Everyone's just glad the girls are alright after the storm.
Max and Chloe can go explore the tourist areas of Seattle since Chloe's has never seen them before. Max and Ryan can take Chloe to a hockey game. Vanessa and Chloe can find some kind of shred interest. Then for the holidays, both families can come together.

>>180743032
We really don't know much about her parents so all we can really do is guess. Though I could only see them ever being supportive of Max as they seemed to be throughout the game in their texts.
Maybe at first they'd be a little surprised that Max was with a woman and how Chloe looked but they know Max and Chloe were close and going years without contact probably led to thinking. Once they hear the story about the week (The stuff minus the time traveling, at least for now) they may understand a little more. My gut feeling is they really wouldn't care as long as their daughter was happy (Still wouldn't stop Ryan from giving Chloe some kind of speech like every father gives to their daughter's romantic interest)
We know even less about Vanessa but I think too many fic writers make her apprehensive, unbelieving, or just generally not happy about the idea of Max and Chloe being together.

Seems more like you're being delusional and placing words in the mouths of others. Nobody says things will be perfect. Especially in the immediate aftermath of everything with the storm and when news of Jefferson becomes public.

By the end of the game we've noticed the characters attitudes changing, which are important steps towards solving the issues and that give hope that over time things will become better.

Actual chances we will get season 2 and have more max?
I may be reading into to it but god damn i feel like dontnod is teasing players,
>play as YOUNG max one last time

I want to think all the info they gave us is just implying we wont play as her but she may still have a key role in season 2. (not the prequel actual season 2).

I like to think dontnod is just throwing people off the trail but then again they are french so they probably think they are being clear about no more max.

Even if bae ending never got a kiss it still would have been nice to get anything but a hand on Max's shoulder because I'm sure Max is just feeling so super right then.

>>180741091
Well what about the freckles? She's pretty Irish.

>>180750086
This. To say "nobody died" is a dodge, to understand that most people would have survived is based on how tornadoes are.
It's also a dodge for bayfags to say things like "Max would just be miserable and never be able to have a nice life with Chloe."

>>180750537
dontnod arent the ones giving us more max though, so its not them teasing us

>>180749163
icky vicky

>>180750397
MAX

>>180750613
I think the body language in the ending was nice for what it was. Chloe hugs and shields Max and then the both of them turn around and watch the storm. They know that whatever the find and whatever happens in the future, they're in it together.
The touch on the shoulder as they drive out of the town is just little reminder from Chloe that she is there, which is enough to cheer Max up in that moment as she looks out at damage she thinks she may have caused.

>>180750654
Freckles didn't originate with Irish people. Max is just a white kid with freckles.

>>180750686
There's also the few who insist that more things would try to keep killing Chloe or creating more disasters since the "universe wants her dead"

>>180750654
I have freckles and there's nothing Irish about me. Freckles are a thing all over the world.

>>180750686
Yup. I'm perfectly aware there were for sure some idiots like the hipster kid who died because they wanted a tornado selfie. Maybe some people even just got into unfortunate circumstances while evacuating. That's fine. I don't believe it was Max's responsibility to make sure everyone survives. Everyone had their chance. Chloe never got a chance though.

That's not really conclusive.
Also even if she was referencing Max's heritage, Max is American first and foremost, we couldn't tell if the Irish thing meant her parents are Irish immigrants or she just had great great grandfather who was Irish.

But we already know that no matter how much Chloe loved her, she betrayed her for Jefferson and Frank and who knows who else

>>180752898
I'm reserving my judgement until BtS is completed.

>4k people playing LIS right now

here comes the new waves.

So, is LiS the western equivalent of shitty anime of cute girls doing cute things?

>>180751378
That is important to remember. Regardless of the source of the storm, it's still a storm and people are capable of hiding from it or running away. Chloe is not capable of doing that in the bathroom because she doesn't know.
It's not Max choosing who lives and who dies, it's Max choosing let things go as they have been and letting everyone fend for themselves as they always have been. Max is not responsible for everyone in the town, she's responsible for herself and has chosen to also make herself responsible for Chloe.
Everyone has their priorities and there is nothing monstrous about that.

I don't think anyone was saying Max isn't American. She's American as a glazed doughnut cheeseburger (Sweet as one too). We were just talking about her heritage. We didn't hear her parents speak so we have no clue if they're immigrants or not, the thought of Ryan having a bit of an accent is nice to me.
But in all probability it probably was just a grandparent or even earlier relative of Max's that came to America.

There's no changing the fact that Rachel didn't love Chloe back and that Max and Chloe love each other. Sure the, prequel may make us sympathetic towards Rachel and like her as a character, but it won't change the outcome of anything.

You don't get to get so defensive everytime someone mentions Chloe/Rachel.
We don't really know how their relationship played out. Now we'll get context.
As for the outcome not changing, probably it won't, but again, until the story is completed there's a possibility there's a twist somewhere to it, so.

>>180755406
Nobody's getting defensive, they are just stating the facts. We're going to get more context about their friendship and time together but Deck Nine has already said they're not changing the already established outcome.
Rachel and Chloe will be friends, and maybe at some point there may be a romantic moment between them, but it will not escalate into a relationship.

>Implying Rachel wouldn't be the biggest shipper of Pricefield

>>180752767
I'm pretty sure it's one of the if not the only time in the game Chloe refers to Max solely by her surname, so it seems pretty obvious the 'Irish luck' is a reference to it.

IN DIS KINGDOM

It's interesting that chloe wears Max style wristbands in BtS

>>180755707
Deck Nince also said it's a story about romance too , i'm pretty sure it's gonna be more than one romantic moment since they know their audience wants teen gay drama¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah as far as LIS is concerned, Chloe ends up with Max and Rachel is dead.
Whatever was between her and Rachel and how will BtS play out is yet to be seen.
But you know, in case it reveals something you don't like you can always scream "NOT CANON".
