>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

The Prescott erasure was really annoying. It was obviously being built up in the background if you read Nathan's messages/emails, the increase in shelters (with the possibility of leveling the whole town and rebuilding under their construction company), and Nathan being trained to take over. Then absolutely nothing in Ep5

I think they just said they were such big fans of the original that they were reading fics and that was one they liked.
What if the prequel does well and Dontnod/SE agree that Deck Nine can do a S1 expansion and they base it on Ouroboros? That'd be awesome!

Prequel being good and doing well enough that we get a s1 expansion or just straight sequel is my main hope in regards to the prequel. Havent read enough of Ouroboros to know if I'd want it to be what they go with though.

Chloe is cutest when she exposes her vulnerabilities. Like in the BtS gameplay segment when she blames herself and practically begs Rachel to not leaver he (implied like her father and Max had done).

And then Rachel leaves her anyway. The bitch.

May be difficult to turn Ouroboros into a game but the basic story could be uses as inspiration.
There probably wouldn't be much choices unless the perspective switched between Max, Chloe, and Victoria or something. Which would be interesting.
I think that fic Small Things would make for an awesome prequel/expansion since there's a few ways dialogue could go in it and there are times where Max really has to rewind and find out how to do something or evade someone. Just like puzzles in the game.
Really any expansion focused on Max and Chloe would be welcome so long as it wasn't overly depressing.

Chloe is made for protecting!

>>181896487
That's one of my favorite parts of their relationship - on the surface Chloe is this strong and brash person that doesn't give a shit and has devil may care attitude and Max is shy, quiet and nice book nerd but under the surface Max is really the protector and Chloe is the deeply hurt, vulnerable one that needs protection. And not just literal protection of Max saving her life but emotional protection as well.

>>181895731
I agree that vulnerable Chloe is a great thing. Not just because I love watching Max protect her, but because Chloe being honest is the only way she will realize her mistakes and become better.

There was definitely something going on with Rachel in that scene. Obviously, she does come around and warm up to Chloe to become a very close friend. But at the start of things there was something holding Rachel back and troubling her. I can't just jump to conclusions right now and say everything Rachel does is just her being bitchy for no reason.

>>181896692
I think we will also be shocked about Rachel and Chloe's dynamic. Chloe says how much Rachel helped her and was her "angel" but going by what I've seen in the prequel gameplay, and just how Chloe seems to be in general, I think she may have helped Rachel much more than she realized.
Maybe the whole time Chloe was equally Rachel's angel. Maybe they saved each other.
I still wish Rachel was just honest with Chloe though, it would have averted a lot of trouble.

>>181893771
I'm almost done reading it now, I really like it. It progresses very nicely from the end of the game to a very happy future but is pretty true to the characters. I feel like its the fanfic that finally delivers what I want for the characters.

>>181897018
I want to adopt a mini-Pricefield!

>>181897357
I just wish it updated a little more frequently.
If you really like that then I also suggest Small Things. That story's complete for now and awaiting a sequel.
It also has a fix-it theme, awesome moments between characters, and cuts some of the fat off to be a more focused story. There's a lot to ouroboros and not all of it progresses the story.

>>181896692
It's sad how few people see, understand and appreciate this, in all its characterization and narrative depth and emotional and romantical glory, for these two characters and their relationship.

>>181895540
>>181895840
Could Super Alice blow away the tornado?

>>181896981
I really like that, anon. That instead of Rachel being this untouchable perfect angel for Chloe they were both just fucked up people and helped and saved each other.

>>181896837
I mean you're almost certainly right, Rachel was not so subtly shown that she had some reason for why she couldn't respond to Chloe's heartfelt plea.

It still felt like a stab in the heart to watch Chloe open up like that and then Rachel just outright reject her.

>>181897919
Of course! A storm starts to form, suddenly it's blown away and disappears, and Nathan and Jefferson are left tied up on the front steps of the police station.
Only those with quick reflexes and good vision will have noticed Super Alive appear and quickly disappear. But still nobody knows her true identity...

If you really think about it, Max going back is even ore immoral because she is messing with time further. She'd directly be choosing to let Chloe die and that would be playing god.
With the storm it's all up in the air. Whoever lives or dies will do so based on their own actions.
Isn't that what Bayfags say? That changing time and defying fate is bad?

any one know the interaction between warren and chloe if you dont kiss chloe and kiss warren only OR
choose to not kiss ether of them?

>Kiss warren and chloe
"Holy shit, Warren! Max is trying to play us both!"

>Kiss chloe and not warren
did you see her try to make a move on me in my room? it was hella lame.
y-yaeh who cares if she doesn kiss me shes not all that.
watch me make a move on you come here.

Kiss warren and not chloe

Kiss nether of them

>>181902092
I've seen someone mention what happens if you don't kiss either within the last month. I might be offbase but I thought it was something along the lines of "She thinks she's too good for us"

>>181902092
I think if you only kiss Warren he says "Her mouth tasted like ass" or something to that effect

I wonder if every time Max has a nightmare if it's a vision of Chloe that frees her or if she learns to control that stuff.

>>181903439
lmao

Max has hella nerdy insecurities. Then again, dreams tend to have weird ways to express those.

>>181903439
Nightmare-Warren is a creepy asshole. I know Max doesn't like him romantically, but I hope that dream doesn't actually make her scared of him and prevent them from being friends.
Thankfully, Max seemed to realize the entire nightmare was almost all baseless fears and she shouldn't let that control her.

>>181901587
Saving Chloe in the first place was her playing God though, Chloe was supposed to die. And while it's true people lived or died by their own actions in the storm, it was still entirely Max's fault for putting them in that situation in the first place. Honestly I hate the fucking storm, the game would have been 10x better if it was scrapped and the drama stemmed more from issues like playing god, maybe even delve into where the powers came from, then having an ending based on the choices you made throughout the game, instead of that garbage A B ending.

Honestly how did Chloe fucking die in the first place? A gunshot by a little handgun in the stomach wouldn't kill a person instantly.

speaking of dreams and nightmares
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bYIZv91dyU

>>181904252
Max never asked for any powers and her first use of them was beyond her control.
She's not to blame for anything. Whoever gave her powers, knowing what problems it would cause, is. Whatever damage was caused by use of her power was entirely involuntary and accidental. Considering that her powers activated as a natural reaction, that's how things were supposed to be, going back to not save Chloe would be changing time and directly determining Chloe's fate.
And getting shot in the stomach can be really fucking bad. If it's dead center then the bullet causes massive bloodloss and can sever the spine.
I agree with you about hating the storm though, it added nothing to the game and just precluded it from having actually reasonable endings.

If Chloe was meant to die then why did Max get a power in the first place?

>>181904856
She ask herself that multiple times in the game, and you are never given an answer

>>181904856
to save chloe in order to spend one last week with her best friend in order for her to grow up and become a better person.

That's the stupidest thing I ever typed.

>>181904856
I always assumed it was activated by her experiencing major trauma, like seeing someone get shot and killed.

It's still dumb though, I know they wanted to leave it up to your imagination, but no explanation about her powers at all, even just a little, is just frustrating.

>>181905087
which means if she experiences another traumatic event, she will probably get the power or a power again.
she got a Time Stop ability when she saw Kate jump from the roof so that would make sense.

It's like Super Saiyan from DBZ.

>>181904951
Max comes to the conclusion, at least in her diary, that it was her destiny to save Chloe and she got the power for the purpose. She also hints to the possibility of Rachel being the one helping the guiding her.
I think that's the best explanation.

>>181905073
>There are people out there that actually believe this
The stupid. It hurts ;__;

>>181905284
You know, did she ever use the time stop ability again in the entire game? I legitimately don't remember seeing it used past that one scene

Chloe even thinks of this at the end of Ep 5:
>"Who knows... this could be Rachel's revenge"
but then, like all other statements throughout the game, it's nonsensically dropped 30 seconds before the final choice and she suddenly believes the 'I need to die' thing

>>181904678
Nah, his handgun was pretty small, so it was more than likely a 9mm. There's a video out there where a guy shoots himself in the cheek with a 9mm and it doesn't even reach the other cheek, so any spinal damage is out of the question (remember Chloe's spine snapped in half and she survived). And even if bloodloss is massive, it would still take a bit for you to actually die.

I know it's just them wanting her to die quickly and "peacefully", but it triggers my autism

>>181906198
She probably wouldn't have died instantly. Just been overwhelmed by shock and then unable to really move as she bleed out. David would be the one to run in and try to apply pressure but by the time paramedics got there she will have lost too much blood. Probably death within a few minutes.

Fuck everything about that ending and fuck everyone who put Chloe through that and made Max have to go back an undo it.

>>181906794
I know Nathan is a troubled brat, but I could never see him actually pulling the trigger or even having the balls to pull it on Chloe in the first place.

Warren the type of n(friend) to listen to mr.brightside on repeat and cry.

>>181907057
Well he did. The little shit brought a loaded gun into school, pulled it on someone, and didn't have any safety on. Even if it went off because he flinched or was pushed, he's still a fucking idiot and if not for Max being there he would have gotten locked up for murder.
Though I'm sure his father would pull all sorts of bullshit tricks to make it look like self defense and try to get Nathan off the hook.

>tfw you hug Warren at the end, forever securing him in the friendzone

Poor Max. Given a power that she didn't ask for after seeing a poor girl get shot. That poor girl turns out to be her childhood best friend Chloe. She saved her life. They spend a shitty but amazing week at the time together. The two of them team up to find out what happened to Rachel Amber and do figure it out, something the police or FBI failed to do. They grow and change. Max saves Chloe's ass a bunch of times because she feels that's the right thing to do and because she cares about her so much. She's willing to destroy her career and let Chloe's father die just for Chloe to have a better life.
Oh wait, it turns out that storm happens because Max got that power to begin with. So she needs to throw away everything and have Chloe die a miserable death, where she never grows as a person or gets a chance to experience HER once last week with Max.
All for what? So Max can learn to grow up and learn not to change destiny? She needed all that traumatic shit just to learn those lessons? Max, at the beginning of the same, was a shy and insecure kid, at the start of her peak years. She wasn't a popular kid, but she had friends in Warren and Kate. She had both of her friends. She was in a scholarship. She was pursing her career.
Did Max really deserve all of that and let her best friend die just to learn whatever lessons and grow up? Really?

>>181907658
*both of her parents

>>181907658
>If Max had decided to just go to her next class the entire game would never had happened

>>181907658
The whole storm and ending choice is just in there to sort out the plebs. Max was always meant to save and reconnect with Chloe.

>>181907658
The power was all one big push to finally make her and Chloe reconnect and realize their love for each other.
I suspect it was either Rachel or even William pulling some strings behind the scenes. The storm was an unfortunate byproduct of everything but Max didn't know that and by the time she realizes it it is far too late to ask her to just go back and undo everything.

How did they fuck up the latter half of Episode 5 so bad?

I'm okay with the whole dark room stuff, it's sadistic and a decent finale, but the rest is just fuck

>>181907841
exactly this
there is no proof the storm killed everyone in town anyways.
The whole game is pushing max to actually save chloe and its heavily implied the storm was just a force of nature. The storm could of very well happened after chloe was dead...

Could you imagine being max, saving the bay, only for the storm to happen again anyways.

Look, i know a lot of people think max is more "powerful" in the bay ending because she made a mature decision and not a """selfish""" one. But thats just not the case, that would destroy literally anyone in her position because the icing on the cake is the fact that all those memories were lost in time.... like tears in the rain.
but seriously imagine if someone you love to death died and all your memories of them were literally lost among everyone, no one knew why you were upset you could never explain to anyone, there is no cure, no help, no where to turn. your friend and lover died never getting to reconnect with you, she died never knowing max was back in town and that max LOVED her and was doing everything to keep her breathing, all the bonding they did are lost.

This would destroy a person, max would be deeply depressed and more than likely end her life.

With bae ending we know lot of people more than likely survived, max would feel guilty but Chloe would be by her side to prove to her beyond anything it wasnt her fault.

who would max turn to in bay ending? Warren?

Not to forget all the other people that Max helped that week. Kate, Victoria, David, Frank, Alyssa, Dana, Juliet, Taylor, and everyone else.
Going back undoes all the progress they made as well. Bay ending is just pure and simple regression and the only one to learn a thing is Max, who learns "fuck the universe"
A lesson that motivates her to go back and save Chloe, consequences be damned. She's not going to lay down and be kicked by some unknown force that wants to see her suffer.

goodnight tho baby

>>181908489
Even if the storm was linked to Max's power, it's not her fault. Not in she must feel guilty or did something bad sense. She never wanted anything like that to happen and she didn't ask to be given anything like that.
But she's glad she got it because it allowed her to save Chloe.

If Chloe dies then Max is obviously lost. Also think about Joyce and David, the people Chloe said she wanted to protect. Perhaps that spares them a death in the storm (Even though they likely survived) but that doesn't spare them from a slow and painful death from depression. Joyce lost her daughter and and only real tie she had left from William, David failed to protect someone he cared about. The two of them already have issues and they were just dealt a blow they cannot recover from.

There's no one Max can turn to. No one would believe her and if they did, and they cared about her, they would tell her go back. I know Warren said Max is the one that caused the storm, but as her friend he would realize how much pain she was in . If Max told Joyce, and Joyce believed her, she would tell her (Max) to go back and save her daughter. Kate would probably say Max's power was a gift from God to save Chloe. Max's parents would just want to see their daughter happy.

Maybe it would take a few days, or a dream with a lot of self-reflection and visions of many people, but Max would reach the conclusion she had to go back and do as she originally did. Save Chloe.

>>181908892
It really is. Thankfully /lisg/ thinks much clearer and respects Max and Chloe and knows they belong together.
Sleep tight!

Even with all the arguing, we can all agree that both endings were rushed, incomplete, garbage that shouldn't have existed in the first place because they throw every choice you've made out the window

>>181909505
Is there any arguing? I've seen thousands of words against bay but no bayfags ITT

>>181909505
Absolutely. Nobody here wanted those endings and long before the final episodes was out, you had many people saying they would be pissed if they happened. Or that they wouldn't make sense because of the plotholes and inconsistencies that were noticed then.
A lot of people said ahead of time that they would save Chloe because that was the better of the two options. I agreed then, and still entirely agree, but I still wish the endings were completely different. There were so many better ideas that were brought up and we know DONTNOD saw them because they admitted to adding stuff based on player reaction.
They should have known to either make better endings or try their hardest to make us convinced those two choices really were the only ones.

>>181909918
Even if they had to do those two endings, they could have at least elaborated further on how it personally affected Max and Chloe and not just have a 20 second cutscene.

>>181909615
No arguing, just seems to be people collecting thoughts and saying why they detest the idea of Chloe dying.
There's so few bayfags here anyway. I've seen multiple people realize the faults of the Bay ending and change their minds, but I've never seen anyone change their mind in favor of Bay.

>>181910198
If they had to do those final two choice then they could have no mislead people and been inconsistent to create other ideas. So that there was no doubt at the end that Max's powers caused the storm and the first change she did was save Chloe (Even thought it technically wasn't).
But yes, longer and better ending cinematics would have been welcomed. At least for the Bae ending. Bay got more than enough.

Would you guys have enjoyed the game nearly as much if the time travel features were absent and the game focused entirely on the characters and the mystery behind Rachel/Kate?

I've never come across something quite like LiS where there's such massive disagreement about a fundamental aspect of it. Dontnod really dropped the ball with the story writing and were clearly writing it as the went along, but with knowing what eventual end the wanted.

I really hope they do not take that approach for Season 2 and actually write the full story out, revise it, check it, and make sure it flows smoothly and without error before they start making it into a game.

>>181910675
The rewind seems rather core to the game's mechanics (IE you can test out different options rather than having to live with whatever you say) but other than that, yeah. It could have easily been a purely human story of suffering, and might have been all the better for it (cf. Firewatch's ending fakeout)

>>181910675
The time travel aspect created a lot of interesting scenes and really helped Max gain confidence in herself and grow. I'm not sure that kind of character development could have been achieved without some kind power. Plus certain parts would have had to have been changed and you would lose out on the alternate timeline, which is when Max really starts letting her dedication and love for Chloe be shown.

>>181910735
The story was perfectly enjoyable up to the second half of EP5, a few plot holes sure but they could have been addressed in EP5 instead of just doing the holy shit TIME TRAVEL OFF THE RAILS.

>>181910952
Sure, if the storm was just shown to be a storm then there wouldn't have been too many issues. Or at least they would be easily overlooked since they wouldn't matter.
But there's little bits here and there throughout the first four episodes that start to add up when the full plot is revealed and the storm is said to be from Max.
Everything in LiS is very well written. But it was the shoddy supernatural stuff (Which DONTNOD admits was not fully fleshed out because it wasn't important compared to the characters) that caused all the issues. Why would anyone ever do that? Create a story and then pin the climax and resolution on what they know is the weakest element? It's mindboggling and I wish I could rewind time to tell them to ditch the storm idea or at least make it more coherent and interesting.

>>181911264
I mentioned this a couple threads back, but basically the theory goes that Dontnod had the supernatural climax lynchpin planned from the start, while the writer they hired - Christian Divine - took the rest of the game in a much more grounded, character-driven direction. Only at the very end did the story he had been crafting the whole time have to be forced together with the ending Dontnod had planned.

Okay enough examining the endings and ripping them to shreds. We all know it's weak on so many levels and that Max would always choose Chloe. As well as that she would user her power to warn more people if it was needed.
Time to relax and go to sleep.

Goodnight, /lisg/. Stay comfy and feel free to pick up a happier topic.

>>181910675
yep, in fact i would of loved a story that took place during the whole school year, i want to see pricefield halloween and Christmas, i want to see maxs lunch table,
i want the Max, warren, Kate, Daniel, brooke and others play DnD episode.
I want to see Max graduating along side her class mates, they could of easily took the powers out and still made an amazing story with a cool setting.

>>181911539
I said this earlier but even if they had to do their planned ending (a or b), it was still horribly done and felt incredibly rushed, especially bae.

>>181911539
>>181911539
Christian Divine definitely seemed to be speaking out against the direction it was all headed.
That or he was trying to throw everyone off to make it a surprise, which no one was. In any case we owe him at least some gratitude since he made Max's feelings for Chloe clear in every case. It is nice to think there was someone who realized the mistakes being made and was trying to help fix them. We'll never know.

So what happens to Max and Chloe in the long run in the Bae ending?

Arcadia looks fixable so does Max just return to Blackwell and Chloe back home to a more loving relationship with her stepdad?

Max and Chloe together -duh-, they're living in Seattle with Max's parents while Arcadia gets fixed, Chloe hears from Joyce and David a few days after the storm and is so relieved and happy that they are okay, over time everyone in Chloe's family gets proper counseling and starts to grow closer together, eventually both Max's and Chloe's families start to hang out together for holidays and stuff. All the other characters do their own soul searching and lesson learning. What happened to them in the past cannot be undone, but that won't stop them from finding a better future and finding happiness.

No matter what you did, Chloe's played romantic manner in nightmare, and Max saw Warren in there as 'one of those people', who tried to get Chloe's attention in front of her, and questioned if those feelings are something more.

Idk how some cucks missed this, or they didn't, just ignoring it.

>>181904252
>it was still entirely Max's fault for putting them in that situation in the first place

How come wanting to ''save'' someonelse's in first place,while she's in trouble would be Max's ''fault'' ? She saved one live in there afterall.

>>181909505
I still think the original plan was for the Prescotts to be the perpetrators behind the storm, that the storm didn't come in bay only because the Prescotts were being investigated and thus couldn't continue their activities. Nathan's cut line from the trailer, his mp3 player filled with whale sounds, and the Sean Prescott email only support it.

Dontnod just didn't know how to write a finale that concretely tied everything together, so they kept it vague and "open-ended" and "up to the player", while throwing away all the game's plotlines and just pinning everything on Max for the sake of drama and tragedy.

After what happened in Episode 5, and Max's diary it's really bullshit thing to think she'd move on Warryn or someonelse because game literally didn't give any evidence for it, especially after nightmare scene. She brought up LOVE word in both consclucion, Chloe damn.

Also, the more ridicilous thing is 90% Nathanfags are warrencucks. They think this game is some kind of cliché teenage soap opera where everything is all about hooking up and love triangles. This wasn't even Bay ending's point.

>>181916765
I guess we can easily say that Baefriends are invested in game more than those cucks. That's obvious.

>>181917456
she will have sex with either of them,hook up with'em, she doesn't develop feelings for Chloe anyway (because inb4 Max was straight in their playthrough, journal wasn't canon in their playthrough) that's their headcanon,yeah.

>>181917609
Even if she didn't have romantic feelings for Chloe in their headcanon, they were undeniable "close friends", Nathan still fucking shot and killed Chloe in front of her. How can you be that retarded

>>181916765
Actually this is true.

People who are finished this game just after Episode 5's release were passionate fans and they were more invested in game, since they probably following theories etc. And at those times choices were in favor of Bae ending.

Then they made this free-to play thing etc. etc. the people who are literally in denial played this game. And they're literally not invested in game without following details, all they do is finishing the game without getting invested, or interested in story.

>>181916765

I have to admit, when i first played the game the same week everyone else happened new happened to be playing it (the psn month and the steam sale) i was a bayfag. It made sense at the time. it was emotional and it felt like the game was pushing me towards it. but i was filled with regret and actual depression for week, REAL depression because of the ending, i couldnt keep my thoughts right, i started to sleep in and have dreams about the game, the soundtracks were stuck in my head.
I had to find a way to vent, i met like minded people on the discord (the official one) and then i found out that VG actually had a LiS thread despite the game being 2 years old now. i started to feel better and played the whole game again just so i could save chloe, I understood the game now, and i understood what max would of felt like if she really choose the bay ending but 100x worse than what i felt.

Im a baefag now. and god damn it, it feels good.

>>181917753
Chloe and Max relationship is destined,soulmate type no matter what you do their bond was strong. that was the point of the game, that's why those endings choices were also about Chloe, that's why Max fights so hard to save her,saying she's her number one priority, you can't compare their relationship with anyonelse.. however they don't understand this.

and.. sadly you can't argue with Bayfags' logic because they don't have it. no matter what you say they don't listen you.
I also love how you give evidences from journal, about in either way Max finds out she has developing feelings for Chloe, they're saying ''hurr durr who the fuck reads journal? it's fanfiction, not canon, naaah doesn't count!!!!''

>>181917767
The bay ending only makes sense if you think about the very, very short term consequences.

They don't think far enough to realize in bae that Max would be in the same position as Bay like a year later when the town is fixed and the school is open. Only difference is that some people she knew MIGHT be killed (of course we'll never know) and she has Chloe. Makes perfect sense that the people with no investment only think about the ending for 5 minutes before moving on.

Bay ending is flawed in many ways, its time-travel logic is one of them (since they've changed it during the development,just before episode 5)

But.. more importantly we all followed Max's tru feelings.

>>181918198
>The bay ending only makes sense if you think about the very, very short term consequences.
i'm not gonna argue about time-travel nonsense because all of anons here already explained everything about it.

if we look at emotional, song choice, and when you considered Max's feelings,her last words, I don't think she'll totally move on or will be okay.

idk if anyone noticed this but, in bae ending she was so certain to saving Chloe and she *ripped* butterfly photo up.

however,in bay ending she has always been hesitant, hell she didn't even rip it or anything. which implies that butterfly photo (ah also don't forget the selfie which she took in Jefferson's class) is still do exist and she has change to go back and save her. and what game has proved me is, Max would totally do it. because especially after the thing they'd experienced together, she can't live/move on without Chloe, not like that.

>>181918238
Yeah, i didnt miss these the first time but i was guilted by the nightmare and the implications that the whole town would be killed in a magical storm.

It was only later i figured out that the storm is not magical and may of not even been caused by max. based on not only fan theories but my own research and theories after taking a step back for a week and thinking.

Like i said though i made things right, I ship pricefield and i dont at all think Max even caused the storm.
The game tricks you (just like max's own brain would) into making a decision that feels logical and for the "greater good". But truth is i dont think anyone irl would kill their best friend for some shitty town, because you can always hold on to the thought that a town being wiped out isnt your fault, but you will always blame yourself for letting your friend die right in front of you knowing you could stop it.

I got my slightly normie friend to play this game and he choose bae his first play through with out a 2nd thought and he used the same logic applied to these threads such as

>if people didnt move out of the way of the storm fuck em.they had plenty of time.

>>181918560
When I say short term I mean people will see it as "kill my best friend or slaughter the entire town, that's easy bye best friend *deletes game from harddrive*

And c'mon, you think these people actually think deep enough about the time-travel shit?

is Pricefield canon?

>>181919261
Pricefield is 50% of the entire game, r u dum?

>>181918770
>But truth is i dont think anyone irl would kill their best friend for some shitty town, because you can always hold on to the thought that a town being wiped out isnt your fault, but you will always blame yourself for letting your friend die right in front of you knowing you could stop it.

I do also believe that, irl people won't ever let their loved ones to die because human emotions always prioritize them first, I mean nobody can exactly prove us wrong in here. Max wanted to be with Chloe and made it clear in her words, Chloe said she was ready for sacrifice herself if she chooses it, but she also didn't want to die.

like I always say, there's no good or bad choice in here because there's literally no sacrifice ourselves option. we're deciding who'll die or who'll live, that's really shitty thing to do. the thing bayfags can't understand here is, they are making arguments like 1000 over thousands, as if that one person isn't our loved one,and some fucking robot. measuring lives doesn't make moral argument.


>"kill my best friend or slaughter the entire town, that's easy bye best friend *deletes game from harddrive*

yeah that was the problem, hell their relationship wasn't just like.. simple best friendship. It was something more,more special. This is why they missing the entire point.

>And c'mon, you think these people actually think deep enough about the time-travel shit?
no matter what, no matter how it used, time-travel do exist in this game and was one of the thing that affects our endings choices. But however, even developers can't explain what was going on with it or whatever. It makes me sad that people are missing this point also, because when you think logically, it makes bay ending literally nonsense.

>>181919345
opps forgot to quote >>181918762

I still don't understand what was stopping Max from slamming the fire alarm in the Bay ending without using her powers, hence stopping the storm (if it actually was tied to her powers like it implies)

>>181919261
Game heavily implies that yeah, Max's feelings for Chloe is more than that no matter what you do, is canon. The most obvious part was nightmare sequences and post journal entries*

At first game developers were making damage control, saying our choices matter yadda yadda. A few months later though, with fans' discoveration about details in-game and journal entries they slowly stopped all of those behaviours,in Michel/Luc/Divine's interviews they started to mean that Chloe and Max's relationship is ultimate relationship, they spread it more, made it official psn avatar etc. Even some VA's (Ashly Burch meant regardless of our choices dynamic between them still there.. and lately Hannah Telle also) in-game admitted that they are more than friendship, lately.

There was some cuck community manager who tried to mean otherwise though, but nobody takes him seriously since all he does is marketing talking.

Reminder that this will happen..

Most realistic scenario:
>Arcadia bay barely affected by the storm, doubt many people died at all
>Probably takes half a year max to fix
>Max, Chloe, and the rest of the town live somewhere else for that time
>Max returns to school and Chloe back home with a better relationship with her father
>Max and Chloe get to be together
>Max, along with most likely everyone else, gets to live normally and move on
How is the bay ending the good one again? There is still the issue of her powers, and whether or not continue use would cause another tornado, but I imagine she'd learn to stop using them.

Bayfags legitimately think every single person in town died and act like YOU'RE the delusional one if you point out the lack of damage.

If you actually consider the damage the town had already taken before the tornado hit, it seems even less powerful.

To be honest, if everyone doesn't die and the storm isn't a big of a deal, it makes the endings even worse than they already are, because the choice would be pointless. Why would Chloe suggest killing her, and Max go through with it, unless the alternative was certainty that Arcadia Bay is about to die? There are houses flying up into the storm en masse in that cutscene, the ending where everything doesn't look too bad contradicts that.

Everything that is presented within the game would have you think that everyone is about to die. It's the fault of the creators for not showing Arcadia Bay absolutely devastated as well as not showing Max and Chloe deal with any of the fallout and just fucking off into the sunset with a cheeky smile.

>>181923267

I have preordered BtS on Steam. Now I've seen that PS4 pre-orders get a neat little theme (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4ahiNc3e_8)

I only ever played LiS on PS4 and it ran well enough but not at 60+ fps. Now hol' up, FPS aren't important in these games, true. But I think it'd feel better on PC because of unlimited frames. But then there's the PS4 theme... shiet, what do? Where did you pre-order BtS, if at all?

>>181923651

Well, Max going through with it is also down to how the players input and own feelings on Max and I saved Arcadia Bay. It was heartbreaking and felt awful, but I couldn't let Joyce, David, Kate and everyone else die down there, nor did I expect Chloe and Max to have a happy ending in a world where they could live with the fact that chose themselves over thousands of lives of both strangers and their loved ones.

But I'm kind of getting caught up in a different argument here, I finished the game for the first time last night and I'm just explaining my thoughts. My real issue is that the game doesn't make it clearcut enough over the fallout of the choices you make. I'm fine with people choosing Chloe over Arcadia Bay, but if the reasoning is down to people feeling that the apocalyptic tier storm didn't actually do that much damage, it undermines the whole point of the choice. The storm pre choice, and the fallout in the epilogue cutscene don't match up, and choosing to avoid showing evidence of the lives lost, or even any discussion of what happens next beyond them driving off is a massive cop out. There HAS to be massive, selfish sacrifice to make the ending work and it has to be clear before the choice is made, rather than by people scrabbling for reasons from a 20 second cutscene of two characters in a car in silence in the aftermath.

I'll pre order if Brooke,kate or Dana come back

>>181925367
>There HAS to be massive, selfish sacrifice to make the ending work and it has to be clear before the choice is made

Even ignoring the epilogues though, Max not only has no proof letting Chloe die will stop the storm, she has proof from the trapped in the Dark Room timeline that it still comes regardless of her death.

The ending is flawed in a lot of ways, but imo the biggest way is Max and Chloe deciding the choice has to be made then and there. Max is a time traveler. She could watch the town get utterly destroyed and still go back and stop it. She could even decide to try and go back and convince as many people as she can to evacuate, and see how that works out, and if somehow everything still goes wrong no matter what she does and everyone dies, then and only then would she consider sacrificing Chloe.

It all comes down to the fact that theres no legitimate reason to choose to sacrifice Chloe at that specific point in time, unless you think Max is just the laziest person on Earth.

Sunday morning breakfast

>>181937725
B-but its Friday

>>181937725
I'm sure Max picked up some cooking lessons from her mother and Joyce.
Chloe's naturally able to cook something because she's related to Joyce and William. It was just a skill she rarely got to use before she was with Max.

Well friends,

This is probably quite banal to you but today (or tomorrow, I'm not sure) marks a year since I finished the game.

Been a tough one, for sure, buts it's been nice having /lisg/ around for it.

Lis messed me up pretty bad and I've never really got over it... but at least I can sit doped up and cutepost with you lot.

>t.baycuck

I'm talking about myself, I already made my choice and decided to save Chloe no matter what it takes when leaks were released. Because I knew letting her die theory wouldn't make sense because that ending'd be only made for tragedy's sake... And I agree, you're making that choice for love, that's it.

For bae ending.. Even game director said, some of character's fates left blurry. Some clues from the game also supports these: Diner wasn't exploded like the other timeline, and makes you think maybe Joyce made it, David was in dark room so he could found a way to save her, in town's map hospital wasn't showing up and one of her dialogues Kate said she'll be left with her parents,so she possibly made it.. lots of people missing these though.

The argument here isn't ''I don't want to accept that everyone's not ded'' to relieve ourselves, if presentation told us otherwise we would agree it. We're know there are some people who might died in that storm. But saying WHOLE TOWN died with that presentation is funny. When baychoosers tell ''hurr durr everyone died'' making ''1000>1'' arguments we are laughing at them with our asses because of this presentation.

>To be honest, if everyone doesn't die and the storm isn't a big of a deal, it makes the endings even worse than they already are, because the choice would be pointless.

Life is Strange is about consequences, choices don't define the story, only defines the matter of time. But otherwise, everything ends up with same consclucion. It may say sacrifice town at that time, but is that really mean there won't be any survivors there? It may say Sacrifice Chloe but can you give us guarentee that Max wouldn't go back into time to save her, while she has still butterfly photo? This is a time-travel game guys.

>>181923267
>''Everything that is presented within the game would have you think that everyone is about to die.''
>''It's the fault of the creators for not showing Arcadia Bay absolutely devastated''
contradicts himself this much..

in the actual ending where you sacrificed town, houses were literally standing where they were the most worst damage was whale's being into the house,hell it was also half destroyed, pan estates were half destroyed, town's sign (Welcome to Arcadia Bay) standing there steadyingly.. more importantly.. two whales wasn't exploded

actually I don't buy this ''muh they couldn't show it'' bullshit because they could've easily showed it. because in timeline where Jeffershit shot Chloe, Arcadia Bay was more devastated than Bae ending's outcome, they could simply re-use those models? especially two whales because, in that timeline it was supposed to be exploded, but in bae, it obviously didn't. so after all of these, can I believe that ''everything that is presented within the game would have think that EVERYONE is about to die'? ' nope.

anyway nitpicking aside, we're all chose this ending because bay ending is nonsense af, and Max couldn't be okay without Chloe. but when someone told me EVERYONE is ded in this ending, I easily can refute this by saying there also many survivors, also there are at least 1-3 people who survived from the original cast,given that this respresentation.

It doesn't mean she willingly *wants* to do it though. It's also like giving up on her wishes because until the at the end of the game she was saying how she was prioritizing Chloe's name over everything even while storm was destroying AB,she's not gonna trade her etc. etc.

>>181942610
That works out well! But sometimes Max feels adventurous and does full meals and surprises Chloe when she comes home from work.
And sometimes Chloe has an idea for a dessert that she heard her mother talking about so she makes something sweet for Max.
Then there's times where they both say "fuck it, I'm lazy" and they order takeout or go somewhere.

Just from the little bit we know about them, Max's parents seem extremely supportive. They'd love Chloe and be thrilled at how much happier Max was.

Boy's not too bad

Max driving to the diner without traffic doesnt make sense. Why weren't more people evacuating? Yeah you can't outrun a incoming torando but maybe drive away?
I looked up Oregon's emergency and diaster agency and they seem to have a protocol including tornados.

>>181963679
Because most people had already evacuated long before that r were in shelter. You barely see anyone outside during the storm.
And anyone who was outside would be rescued in the final version of the timeline when David went into town and help Joyce and the others like Max originally did. The only ones to die were those who simply refused to do anything and just sat in the open and watched.

I wonder what would become of that junkyard hideout. It's a possibility that Chloe would abandon it and never want to return.
But I think she may want to keep it. It's a place where a lot of people could go to make a memorial for Rachel and a place where Chloe, Max, and Frank could go to feel close to her.

Embarrassing

Im going to ask sort of a cringy question but.
Did lis inspire anyone to make a change in their life?
Before i played LiS i was a really uninspired person sort of stuck in this void of positive nihilism where i was just very accepting of my life, I was going to go to school for server admin or IT.
Now I really want to go to school for a career that will lead to me doing more "fun"things.
Like doing something involving gaming or even behind the scenes doing audio work for the entertainment industry or even god forbid...writing.

Out of every form of media i have ever consumed this actually inspired me which is saying A LOT because i never could find any inspiration or motivation to do things.

>>181985139
Definitely. It wasn't an overnight change but I think playing the game spurred a complete reversal of my political alignment over time.

This wasn't from the nightmare? Was it?
Warren, I like you dude but just get the hint already. It's embarrassing. Thank God he finally sees the obvious during the final episode and accepts he will always just be Max's friend, and there is nothing wrong with that.

i don't know, the time travel thing ended up being really sloppy but the core idea of analyzing our choices and considering there effects on others is a really strong and worthwhile concept. Also the focus on loss and how people deal with it is always a pretty fruitful topic in fiction. I think the supernatural time travel stuff is somewhat essential I just wish they had refined the choice system. What the should have done is have the choices dictated by previous choices rather than just letting you choose anything at any point no matter what you did.

I could see Max trying this hairstyle when she was like 25. Maybe up until then she let it grow out long and then cut it to donate it. Then she starts growing it again and by the time she gets married it's at a decent length again.
