>>528622212>Lost Records: Bloom & Rage(LR: B&R) - A spiritual successor to the original LiS, made by Don't Nod (DN). Set in Velvet Cove during the summer of 1995, it follows Swann Holloway and her misfit friends: Nora, Autumn, and Kat. They form a band, hang out, and navigate the complexity of being gay. But something dark shatters their innocence and 27 years later, they reunite to confront the past. It’s nostalgic, aching, and supernaturally sapphic in all the best ways.

>Life is Strange(LiS) - An episodic narrative adventure game by developer Don't Nod (DN). Set in the fictional coastal town of Arcadia Bay, Oregon, it follows Max Caulfield, a shy photography student who discovers she can rewind time and perhaps more pressingly, that she is hella gay. At the heart of the story is Max’s reconnection with her estranged best friend, the rebellious, blue-haired Chloe Price. Their relationship becomes the game’s emotional core as they search for the truth behind the disappearance of Rachel Amber. What starts as a teenage reunion becomes a haunting, queer exploration of grief, love, and the impossible choices we make for the people we can’t live without.

DEbros... they did us dirty again...
>>529646163Uncanny valley shit
>>529645825I think it is pretty clear what ship I'm cheering on.
>>529646163pricefield is eternal
Let's say sunshine for everyone
But as far as I can remember
We've been migratory animals
Living under changing weather
Someday we will foresee obstacles
Through the blizzard, through the blizzard
Today we will sell our uniform
Leave together, leave together
We played hide and seek in waterfalls
We were younger, we were younger
We played hide and seek in waterfalls
We were younger, we were younger
We played hide and seek in waterfalls
We were younger, we were younger
We played hide and seek in waterfalls
We were younger, we were younger
Someday we will foresee obstacles
Through the blizzard, through the blizzard
>>529646278pricefield is dead
It glows at night, it's just the start
I'm not surprised, it shook us up
We like to keep, some places wild
Like battlefields, where no one fights
The road that we share, the air that we breathe
The treasures we hide, here and there
The ashes of love, the signals of hate
The planes in the crumbling sky
And if someone calls or shows up at the door
No one will be there to answer anymore
We have it on tape now
It glows at night, it's just the start
I'm not surprised, it shook us up
We like to keep, some places wild
Like battlefields, where no one fights
>>529646735Taking Michel out of context, as always.
>>529646447I hope he comes to his senses if he gets to write them again someday, the other survivors can literally best support system they have. He already showed it with David
>>529646735Michel hit pricefield this year harder than SE, D9, Amanda, Safi and timestorm combined
>>529646447Really happy that Max is with people who genuinely love her and appreciate her for who she is
>>529647616Snora > pricefield > chasemarsh > malice > wardson > richgolis > chasefield > chaseprice > chenrich > wardmarsh
>>529647693LiS2 was perfect in showing Max and Chloe reconnecting with David, visiting New York and trying to move foward despite the huge weight of what happened in Arcadia Bay. D9 couldn't understand that, and by result it paid the price hard
>>529647708>Michel in the tweet>"10 years is a long time, if I had to write a break up between Max and Chloe I would have to sit down and think at what kind of story to do, maybe using those two tragic movies that make center and foward the relationship fall as inspiration.. But ultimately, I considered their story done in LiS1 and thus you still have your own headcannon to go">DE>"We were together until we were not... by retconning David and that photo in Away, the visit at New York, and Chloe is paranoid out of nowhere which doesn't make sense. Btw we push you hard on Amanda, you barely know her but you will like her and will romance her!"
>>529648640I'm going to be honest with you, as time has gone on (especially post-DE), I have started warming up to LiS 2. I still have a large number of fundamental problems with it, but I think it handled characters from LiS 1 with real respect. Even the choices that you made in LiS 1 were actually respected.
Had it just been a sapphic game, I would have put it back in the OP a long time ago.
>>529647878who offered tongue first?
>>529649168LiS2 has soul, but misguided execution. There's a lot of cool details and despite the many issues I can appreciate their attempt and actula improvements over LIS1, like the choice relationship system that carry over into four different endings. But Daniel is just a significantly inferior companion to someone like Chloe, Nora or Kat, and if I had the option to trade him with either Cassidy, Lyla or even Jacob I would do it in a heartbeat
>>529649236Nobody, because Amanda dodged a bullet once she realized that DEMax abuse her powers over people consent.
>>529648640Yeah, you can see that they were already in their healing process by the time the brothers reached Away, regardless of what Michel says. Of course he'll write them still troubled since he gets off on the idea but you can't deny that they're moving on. D9 instead writes them as still running away from the whole thing 10 years on which is out of character for both imo. Hell, the comics had the right idea of them confronting their choice even if it was just a plot device at first.
>>529649978Michel likes trauma and he's very french for that, but the point was how he would have tackled up a Max and Chloe facing a break up scenario, and gave us an insight in his creative process, and as we know with LiS2 and Lost Records he would probably give the ultimate choice to the player to either save or end the relationship, and give it enough weight
There's morons that keep seething at TLOU 2, but that game to his benefit gave a shitload of context and nuance to how Ellie and Joel relationship still lingers after his death, and how it is all to the service to the theme and message of the story about violence and cycles. I'm sure Michel would gave that a good enough resonant story even if its not liked at first, which is even more baffling given how poorly DE handle things out.
UEanon, this panel from the "Paper Girls" comic would be perfect to recreate in Lost Records.
>>529647708Add to that his claim that he would've never gone with the 'sacrifice AB' ending, admission that she wasn't even in the early pitches (unlike Warren), his irritation at fans calling her 'blue-haired girl', and a whole bunch more
>>529649236Max of course. She's relentless in this game
>>529652982Well if he writes a breakup scenario, I have a nagging feeling that it won't be a traditional one or even an actual breakup. I imagine he'd lean into death even more this time as a means of catharsis for one of them, maybe even in a foolish attempt at repentance. Not by suicide though since that's too easy a way out.
>>529653984>Add to that his claim that he would've never gone with the 'sacrifice AB' endingMichel's personal preference towards the Bay ending doesn't mean he wanted Bae gone
>admission that she wasn't even in the early pitches (unlike Warren)Means nothing, early pitches change a lot and in the case of LiS, main relationship was very obviously inspired by "Blue is the Warmest Colour" graphic novel and overshadowed actual Warren presence in the game.
>his irritation at fans calling her 'blue-haired girl'DE is the game that calls her that the most, and his point was how he wanted Chloe to change her hairstyle to represent different phases of her life, like Kate Winslet in "Eternal Sunset of the Spotless Mind". A very pro-Chloe argument desu
All your point are worthless and easily disproven, I don't know why you even bother in the first place.
>Arguing about DE again
>When we could be talking about hairy Chloe pits
For shame.
>People who just sit around all day despising a video game, pretending to like its sequel that they never played and notoriously killed the IP, and do the /vg/schizo thing where they take quotes from associated devs that clearly say X and then spam weirdly transparent shitposts about how it clearly says Y and actually killed X as a concept
Is schizophrenia even the right mental illness to assign to this shit? It feels dumber.
>>529656215Chloe pits are unfortunately shaved. But Swann on the other hand...
>>529656451In my heart, Chloe and Nora are far from shaved.
But I agree Swann is basically canon.
>>529656451stinks good for sure
>>529656341>Is schizophrenia even the right mental illness to assign to this shit? It feels dumberbut if you swap LR with DE in the first sentence and the other way around in the second one, and take the tweets to mean not Michel's but the devs' from D9, then basically you've got what the pricefielders have been doing for a whole year, lol
>>529657286Chloe is basically the archetype for girl who stinks good.
>>529657774not with all that weed she smokes!
>>529657561Difference here is that people played LR and actually liked it, and the D9 quotes are all on themselves
Since Xbox is going under, how long since we get info that Square is also laying off people from their western divisions, impacting LiS as well?
>>529658013I think a combination of weed, tobacco and sweat could stink good.
You also have to consider her boots...
>>529657561>He thinks LiS1 killed the franchise
>>529648297>Chenrich that low>Pricefield below anything Get out.
>>529658853wait for ff14 to implode on itself to see the scramble
>>529661143>Chenrich that low>Pricefield below anythingBased
>>529661143>Chenrich that lowBeing on the list at all is a positive. There are plenty of lesser ships that I could have included.
>Pricefield below anythingI'm sorry anon. But nothing compares to snora.
If I were feeling particularly bitchy, I would have included a pretty big power gap between snora and pricefield.
>>529661649They're not there yet. Pricefield is still on top, maybe Chenrich. The moment Nora and/or Swann stop a disaster akin to a storm then they'll become first.
>>529647708>>529653984You kinda get where he's coming from. They basically shut down everything he wanted to do after LiS1. But then, thanks to DN's lunacy, the only audience left for LR were the shippers, so he had to play to them, at least on the surface
>>529662650I'm sorry anon, but snora is clearly the best ship out of any of these types of games. Nothing else comes close.
>The moment Nora and/or Swann stop a disaster akin to a storm then they'll become firstThe sheer power of their gay love is the source of the abyss and will be used in the sequel as the catalyst for changing time in order to both bring back Kat and ensure Swann/Nora together.
>>529664378You are stirring shit up from a clear troll, get the fuck off
>>529647878A grounded connoisseur of mature relationships. You have my highest esteem.
>>529664378>so he had to play to them, at least on the surfaceJudging by his tweets though he didn't exactly pull it off. I'm saying it with zero irony.

>>529681950>AmberPriceField>AmberPriceWhy would you want to inflict her on anyone?
Also, Wardmarsh is really under loved for what a cute ship it is.
>>529682589AmberPriceField is the true kino. You're all too low iq to understand
>>529682809I'm open to triads and think they do not get enough love in ships.
But why not something like chasepricefield or pricemarshfield?
The only time Rachel is not a manipulative, emotionally abusive monster is in the comics; Where they had to write her as a brand new character that does not act like her BtS self in anyway. Even on a personality level, she would just not work with Chloe + Max.
>>529683519Besides the obvious lack in the sexuality department from Victoria or Kate.
I feel that the problem with Max, Chloe and Rachel is is that left alone they have their problems:
>Chloe alone is depressive, stubborn and abandonment and trust issues galore>Rachel alone is hedonistic>Max alone is self-conscious and introverted, preferring to "observe the world around over participating in it"The problem with Amberprice is that Chloe and Rachel lack the person to ground them and thus amplifies each others worse tendencies in the end. Which is why a throuple would be ideal, Max would gain the confidence of being a calming influence on Chloe down and Rachel would be nonstop in her praising of the two of them.
Together Max & Chloe are strong, I just feel that with Rachel they could potentially stand that much stronger.
>>529599742Fingers crossed.
>>529664378>They basically shut down everything he wanted to do after LiS1You can really tell he's hurt. Just look at the way he replies to tweets about people slowly rethinking their stance on LiS2. It clearly matters a lot to him.
>>529681395NTA
Anon, it's honestly kinda depressing having to shove your own posts back into replies just to get a point across. Especially when it’s already clear from the first response you have no clue what you're even replying to.
Stop seething and go live your life.
>>529685354>Fingers crossedFor another flop and subsequent shutdown of the franchise?
Dontnod biggest mistake was to overstretch themselves into way too many projects without a clear long term goal and definite identity of the studio, when they should have consolidated by the time of Vampyr and rallied around that game with a sequel. Making five games at the same time plus trying to dip into indie publishing was not a viable long term strategy and they failed also to try an elevate Michel to their own Sam Lake status, when he should have been. D9 also fell into the same mess except they have no real talent or care to even make decent games
>>529685610Blah blah blah, shut the fuck up you twat.
No franchise is going to die here
>>529691362What happened to Deus Ex after the last game under Square?
>>529693314Deus Ex is bad from the get go, next example
>>529695396Replied as expected. Well, have fun when the next game goes under lmao
>>529685610because not everyone wants to enjoy frank's low-effort junk
Question:
Would Bay and Bae fans each accept it if the series had tried to merge the timelines where everyone lives, like the OG was originally supposed to? Or is the ending blood feud what keeps people interested?
>>529700859There's no feud. Shippers are just mentally unhinged and the more you cater to them, the tighter the noose around your own neck. Hope SE's finally figured that out
>>529701280>There's no feudBruh.
>>529700859It would lessen the impact of the climax but it would be a definitive end to Max and Chloe's story. There isn't really a feud, just that both camps, at least the most vocal ones, have this inability to open their minds to different possibilities, viewpoints and interpretations. It's a weird fanbase
>>529700859Speaking as a ride or die Pricefielder, that's honestly what I was hoping DE was going to be.
>>529700859There are certainly some schizo Bae players who get way too enthused about townies they don't like dying, but for the most part people who pick Bae simply either would do anything to let Chloe live, or reject the notion of the trolley problem as a suitable moral guideline. I think they'd all be happy if there were a means to save Chloe and the Bay at the same time.
I'd still definitely say most Bay-choosers are a similar level of sane and would choose to save Chloe's life if there were a means to do it without sacrificing other people's lives to do it. However, on that side of the fence you'll find significantly more schizos and general shitheads who simply chose the option because it let them specifically kill Chloe, and did it out of spite. And then there's the death cultist weirdos who demand Chloe be dead to be with Rachel, like a servant forcibly buried in the tomb of a Pharaoh.
>>529704027Pretty much this.
>>529704027This covers most of all of the bases. Bay has a fuckton of people that genuinely just want to see Chloe die.
>>529678115>A grounded connoisseur of mature relationshipsYes
>>529618684>I think Max is basically just Chloe-sexual.>We didn't get any struggles over her sexuality, because Max really only has eyes for Chloe and cannot picture herself in a relationship with anyone else.That's exactly why I think Max should have a bigger reaction. Other than Chloe, she only talks about being attracted to boys, but she never even pauses to reflect on suddenly being into a girl. It feels like a bit of a missed opportunity.
Full-on Gay Panic Chloe is a bigger miss, though, for sure.
>>529685036I don't really understand how anyone could think Rachel is fixable. She's an empty vessel desperate to be filled, but there's a hole in the bottom.
She's also straight but flexible if there's a ride out of Arcadia Bay in exchange.
>>529686451>they failed also to try an elevate Michel to their own Sam Lake statusLMAO
Michel's one-trick pony. Nothing he's done lately really sticks the way his old stuff did. Don't hold your breath waiting for anything fresh or iconic from him
>>529731259He has given us Nora, Swann and Kat. I'd say that's enough for me
>>529715573Oh yeah. One's got a foot fetish, a handjob fetish, and God knows what else, can't shut her mouth about every raunchy thought she has. The other is basically a walking fountain - the whole campus knows. Real classy romance right here, Shakespeare wishes
>>529700859Depends on how well executed that would be.
>>529747263>D9 writers tries to not insert their favourite fetish challenge
It's not an Abyss, it's an ocean.
>>529753416How would Saga Anderson and Alex Casey face any supernatural investigation in Velvet Cove?
>>529754258By falling flat on their faces
>>529716289>That's exactly why I think Max should have a bigger reactionOh, I fully agree.
In an ideal world, I would have loved for this to be better explored. Eventually ending up with Max just emotionally unleashing on Chloe how she actually feels, probably during the pool scene.
I have long felt that Max and Chloe being an official couple going into the final episodes would have made everything about episode 4 and 5 so much more impactful.
>Full-on Gay Panic Chloe is a bigger miss, though, for sure.Absolutely. Especially since she is already friends with an open lesbian in BtS.
Her panicking her journal as she suddenly realises that she is not into guys would have been a joy to see.
Given the demographics of the fanbase of these types of games, I'm sure also pretty relatable for most of us.
>>529743532Mostly Nora and Swann desu.
What is with Life is Strange games and nightmare sequences at the end?
The first game, before the storm, double exposure. I just finished true colors and again another boring stupid nightmare sequence
i can't be the only one who hates that shit right?
>>529758959Why you hate it precisely?
>>529758959It's their visual metaphorical motif for facing trauma there's not much to it than that. The absence of it in LiS 2 makes the game better since it doesn't halt you and the roadtrip to a standstill
>>529760014LiS 2 had dad dreams though.
>>529758959Of all the D9 games, Before the Storm is the only one that uses nightmare dream scenes in all episodes, and for that is a lot more natural exploration of Chloe's trauma of William, rather than a big dump at the end. After that, D9 clearly has forgot how to do things because now they are aggressively
>>529760014LiS2 does have a nightmare sequence in episode 4 that is almost a rip off of Chloe in the car from BtS, but is Sean and his dad. Overall yeah, the game not having massive dragging nightmare sections is at least a net positive, same with LR for keeping the nightmare sequence at the start of Tape 2 rather than the ending.
the whole 90s setting and the instagram Americana in Lost Records is just so insincere. there's no curiosity about what the 90s were actually like, it's just riffing on how millenials see the 90s and the characters do not sound authentic at all
>>529770195https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=definition+of+opinion+
>>529770195Lost Records is heavily based on 90s series like Twin Peaks, The Craft, It and other stuff from that era. There's different type of 90s style and DN settled for a more simpler TV series approach.
>>529770195>instagram Americanait's supposed to be "dreamy", like an idealized memory of the time, and we're seeing them through Swann's. The authenticity part with the characters and the setting is valid however since it's really just a more general and condensed version of 90's teenagedom; along with the developers' own experiences which varies. There's also no particular focus on the whole Upper Peninsula of Michigan, except that it takes place there, and the Yooper culture which would alienate the audience to some degree. We only get a smidgen of it in '22 with Gus and the barflies. All of it works still imo.

How similar is lost records to this franchise? should i play it? i want to enjoy another comfy game
>>529803964>How similar is lost records to this franchise?Same basic deal. Just with lessons from LiS 1/2 learned and is generally much more gay.
Massive step up from anything in the LiS franchise.
>should i play it?Yes.
Just make sure you romance the right girl.
>i want to enjoy another comfy gameIt is probably less comfy pound for pound compared to LiS 1. It is more about vibes in general.
If LiS 1 was inspired by Twin Peaks seasons 1/2. LR is closer to Lynch's work after that.
>>529803964It has the same DNA with choice consequences that are more in line with LiS 2. It has all the hallmarks of a LiS game: atmosphere, setting, characters, great music (rivals Music From Before The Storm for me), optional gay stuff for the player etc. I'd argue that Tape 1 is the comfiest thing DN has ever done, rivaling LiS 1's first chapter and LiS 2's Away segments. Way comfier than TC's first chapter. Definitely give it a shot, pirate it first if you must but I've seen plenty of posts by anons that bought it right after because they loved it so much me included. The photo mode is really fun too.
>>529805550>rivals Music From Before The Storm for meI personally think the music is even better then any of the LiS games.
Chromatics, Milk & Bone, Nora Kelly and Beach House are just some amazing choices. Had they just managed to get Sloppy Jane, then I think it would have been a real 10/10 soundtrack.
>optional gay stuffTechnically optional.
I think the game would be so much lesser without it.
>>529804586>>529805550Thank you anons I will be buying. here's hoping the performance is good on Deck
>>529803964>>529807045A low-budget attempt to somehow recreate the vibe of the first game. Classic modern Dontnod - slow-paced, all style, no substance. AI-generated environments and Midjourney-4-looking characters. The main girls are either way too young and attractive only if you're a pedo, or old enough that they're practically falling apart. As a Life is Strange fan - hard pass on this one.
>>529806417>I personally think the music is even better then any of the LiS games.I wouldn't go that far but I'll respect your opinion. Depending on the weather, TC's and Wavelengths' OSTs are better, they're really underrated. I just can't get past Julia Stone's harpy voice 99% of the time. Also Steph's Song, can't beat that come on. DE's is the weakest with LiS 2 next, both have good songs but overall, they're just okay. LiS 1's is fantastic overall, both licensed and original; in the top 3. BtS? Subjectively the best with great instrumentation and it by virtue a Chloe concept album. LR's is great but it could've used more licensed tracks from the 90's, especially ones from the mixtapes in the game. Also bratmobile sucks
>>529807330>AI-generated environments and Midjourney-4-looking charactersI like how you have to resort to bad faith and false claims like this one, when the game has a lot of readily available concept art made by human artists like Sam Bradley and Eduard Caplain that disprove your point.
>>529809626TC has a great selection of tracks but is significantly underutlized in my opinion, none of them really stick out as much.
>>529809946Yeah, a great chunk of it is the jukebox which I imagine not a lot of people played with.
>>529809626>Also bratmobile sucksYou lost me hard here anon.
They are literally the best riot grrrl band. 'Pottymouth' is just endless great songs and 'Ladies, Women and Girls' has a number of really solid songs.
Bands like Bikini Kill and Excuse 17 only have a handful of good songs between them.
>it could've used more licensed tracks from the 90's>especially ones from the mixtapes in the gameIt really sucked reading what was on one of Kat's mixtapes, seeing some really solid stuff and knowing that none of it was actually in the game.

>>529809770Anon, you've got to be a complete idiot if you think anyone's buying your bedtime stories about talented concept artists. Especially when you're deliberately dodging the Modeling Phase where an approved concept gets fed into AI to generate character or environment mockups, textures, material maps, or even procedural content. And that's just scratching the surface of what gets used later.

>>529911606Victoria is simply a deeply closeted girl that has trouble expressing her feelings for other girls in a healthy way.
Besides, Jefferson and Kate's family are the ones who drove her to suicide if you want to be technical about it. Victoria just did one cruel thing that set the dominoes falling.
Post-storm or in a timeline with no storm and Jefferson, I sincerely think Kate and Victoria would have been an item by Christmas 2013.
>>529912090No, that would require a Comic!Rachel or DE!Max level of rewrite to make it work, and I really do not see Kate accepting the idea of a relationship with the girl that was the main culprit who drove her to suicide.

>>529961430Steph isn't like that at all. She wears no makeup, dresses like a post-grunge burnout nerd, and the only time she's shown in anything revealing is in Wavelengths when she's in short shorts for summer.
>>529962421Besides Max, the others look clayish; like leftover NPCs from TC. They're not all bad imo. The hair does suck with some of the characters' hair strands clipping on the faces. It's unnoticeable most of the time but it's still there. Also again, clay

Max is the most realistic one with full on scanned face texture and hair strands while some have simpler True Colors-like quality textures and no hair cards.
Glad to see the return of TC appreciation. It may be unfinished, but the characters are top shelf LiS.
>>529967470Wouldn't call it a return, more or less some anons are feeling nostalgic for a time in which LiS wasn't as fucked as is it now. Personally, if I had to play True Colors again, it wouldn't really hold a candle to Lost Records just for sheer impact and characters, Alex is nice but ultimately set inside a hollow story.

>>529967861Plus they’ve got bigger drama to worry about now, lol
I've been trying to put into words why I have such visceral hatred for Lost Records since finishing it. I think this image captures it more than anything else.
The story is so clearly designed to have all three of you reuniting in 2022 and opening the box together. If this was a non-interactive medium, such as a novel or TV show, then there's no doubt that's what they would go with.
Instead, the game is so far up its own ass with its gamey relationship points system that they treat it as a reward for successfully kissing everyone's ass constantly and saying the right thing every time. Only 19% players got the "right" outcome. 81% of players get an ending where the game goes out of its way to remind you of how this isn't the right ending and make you feel bad for not getting enough of their fake bing bing wahoo points.
>WE SHOULD HAVE DONE MORE TO GET NORA TO STAY...
>HMMM IF ONLY NORA WERE HERE... OH WELL
>HEY GUYS ITS KAT AND I'M SO GLAD YOU GUYS ARE OPENING THIS MEMENTO BOX... TOGETHER
>NORA, KEEP BEING YOU... OH NEVER MIND YOU'RE NOT THERE LOL SHAME ON YOU SWANN
>*see you in hell plays with ghost teen nora model and re-used adult nora singing audio*
Like why even bother, this is not a satisfying experience. No one thinks to themselves "oh I'm so happy I got the wrong ending".
The dirty secret of this genre is that these stories really would be better off in other mediums. But I have NEVER played a game that makes this more blatant than Lost Records. Every deviation from Dontnod's "canon" (e.g. 2022 characters leaving, picking the wrong romance, not kissing Dylan's ass, getting the wrong person possessed at the Abyss, getting the wrong Abyss outcome) only serves to make the story worse.
Hopefully one day Dontnod will reflect on the connection between putting in more pointfag systems in their games and their sales dropping. Or maybe Michel and his friends will quit gaming for other storytelling mediums instead of arbitrarily punishing innocent players.
>>529994304LR would never work as a tv show because it's boring and nothing actually happens
>>530000893have you seen modern tv shows today. They're basically 80% of nothing anyway
>>529994304That's a lot of words when you clearly just hate the genre.
LiS1 and Telltale games were heavily criticized for how choices didn't actually matter. There's no going back, especially after Detroit btfo the "only the final choice matters" approach.
If you can't handle getting an outcome that feels imperfect and feel the need to metagame then this genre is not for you.

>>529994304Have you seen the previous LiS games who Michel worked on? They have always been a shade of tragedy, with LiS2 having four variations of melodrama shit. I can see the point of the relationship system being at point detrimental to the narrative the devs want to achieve, but at some point is also cool that Nora and Autumn's relationships are player dependant, and to say they are just ass kissing is really a restrictive way to see relationship dynamics
>>529994304every choice and ending is canon in its own way in this game; if you know, you know.
>>529994304I have no idea how people got Autumn to leave, especially at the same % as Nora. Was everyone just rude to her because she's black or what?
>>530016763partly that, but the majority from what I've seen is most of those players just didn't know how to play the word game with her. also they're at odds with her pragmatic personality so I'm assuming they're not that willing to see her through the panic attack
>>530016763>>530017218yeah, I failed the word game: but wouldn't have it any other way as I got the kino Nora romance ending
>>530017218Most of the casuals who interact with those games really have no desire or clue to actually interact with the world they are given with, resulting in missing lots of character moments or stuff that other, more passionate players will pick upon.
>>530017513This is how people end up disliking Chloe and Choosing poorly.
>>530017513I get that it's a game but most people treat it too much like a game whereby they just play, rush it and it's just another box to check. But at the same time, it is a game; you can take all the time you want to explore, try every possibility and take everything in until you're ready to move to the next part. It doesn't constrict you the way a movie or a book does, which you can also take your time with but with limited interactivity, so why rush it? It's no FPS or MOBA where you need every bit of attention at the ready but this genre lends itself to that amount of focus as well; not in a cold and analytical way that kills all the fun however. Everyone's playstyle is unique but you miss a lot if you stick to just one.

>>529803964>>529805550>>529890048>>529804586Hello anons. I've just completed Tape 1. To be honest I'm not sure what is going on. I'm kind of missing the hook for this story? Sure it was comfy, although the first two hours were not really interesting. I kinda started to like it when we got the cabin. Then we found the Abyss, I'm not sure what it's purpose is. I don't get the final choice either. Who cares who planned the "concert"?
I will play Tape 2 because I want to know what's in the box but I will be honest and say that so far I've even enjoyed Double Exposure more because there was a some what clear purpose to the story
>>530039962You appear to have ignored everything and not listened to any conversations.
Start over.
>>530040751It took me over 7 hours I don't think I missed anything. I'm just not sure what the hook for this story is other than self discovery
>>530039962The hook is the package itself and the mystery surrounding it plus the reunion of course. The story's purpose is to solve that mystery and later on deal with the grief and reconciliation of the group's actions that summer Tape 2 deals more with the fallout of the concert, the revelation of Kat's cancer and coming to terms with life's unfairness.
>I don't get the final choice either. Who cares who planned the "concert"?It may seem like it's nothing now but, in accordance with your other choices, it culminates into one of the endings and one of the character's fate.
>Then we found the Abyss, I'm not sure what it's purpose is.You can take it at face value as an actual mystical sinkhole in the ground or a metaphor for the girls standing in solidarity with each other. There's a whole lot of theories about it in previous threads if you want to take a look. Oh, there's also an ARG that you may want to look into if you're still interested in by the end.
July's here lads. Any recommendation as for LiS fanfics, especially one focusing on Chloe's character after the Bae ending?
I swear there was a link to fanfictions in the OP. I've checked the 26th May thread and it was already gone by that point.
>>530039962You have to take Lost Records as a sort of Sundance festival indie movie or a character centered drama piece, rather than a bombastic reveal from the get go, and the point is for you to chill and know the characters well before things go down in the second part, and once it hits you, the emotional impact is there and you want to try other paths with other characters. By contrary, DE is like Riverdale or CW channel slop, who has shock value for the sake of moving the plot foward but no real staying power after you get it once. I think you should take LR at its pace and focus on the characters, which are the real standout as the Abyss is an incognita in the story
>>530054532Good way to describe it really.
The mystery, is more the background and something that happens to the characters, rather than the main focus.
Plus DN seem ot have taken to heart the feedback from LiS that people just wanted more slice of life, more nostalgia for things that never happened to you personally.
>>530054532You can still get through DE without it not feeling like much of a slog. LR is filled with snoozefest, cringe-inducing moments.
This isn't to say DE doesn't have it's fair share of problems of course.
>>530039962this is a bait post
>>530039962>>530067038>>530054532>>530044219I finished Tape 2 in one sitting.
- Dylan and Kat pushed Corey into the abyss
I like this ending, to have these two sisters finally heal their bond.
Corey was just straight up comic book evil, the only thing that gives him some nuance is that letter his mom wrote him.
- Kat then 'disappeared' into the abyss
I still don't get the Abyss. It seems Kat knew more about it? Or maybe she was just possessed by it? What was up with the crows flying into it? Did the Abyss give the girls memory loss afterwards? Has Pam seen it? Why did only Corey's voice change? How did the cam corder get out of the Abyss and into the memory box? The Abyss is one of the more interesting parts of the game and yet it was underutilized and its powers unexplained
- I opened the memory box alone
Swann reading the letter all by herself when Kat also meant for Nora and Autumn to see it made me feel kinda sad, like I failed her. Autumn as a character really lost me in 90's Tape 2, she just said no and dipped. I'm not sure what I did wrong or where it came from, and then she returned when trashing the ranch.
Also I committed myself to try and romance Kat (before I knew she was going to die) but in the end my Swann ended up with no one.
At a little over 11 hours of game time I don't regret buying and playing this, if just for the fact that I want to support these types of games. But there were definitely parts where I was bored and wish I could fast forward. I mostly agree with
>>530064197 here. I was hoping for a more interesting plot, but rather it was all about the characters. And they weren't really all that interesting for the most part. The voice acting was great though.
>>530064197DE's cringe moments are worse than the "snooze" of LR, and I'll say that again that to play DE is like watching a bad CW show on the popularity of the much better original one.
>>530077708He mediates a bit in Tape 1 but Corey does turn into a mustache twirling villain in Tape 2, one explanation is that The Abyss had some effect on him when the girls chased him off at the movie palace. Which probably planted a seed that mutated or something. Remember that Autumn comments on that too.
Kat seemed to know more about it. It is implied that she spent more time there than the others during the days that aren't documented and her witch paraphernalia even smelled like it along with other curses/spells that she might have traded something for. She can get possessed by it but my theory is that she is a reincarnation of Celine and is more attuned to The Abyss and its ways because of a possible history between the two. The ravens flying into it is like a contract fulfillment. You can interpret the memory loss as the girls regressing the trauma of that night but since The Abyss is all but a figment of their imaginations at this point, their promise did make them forget so that Corey can never escape to protect them all. Pam has experienced the weirdness of the woods but not necessarily The Abyss, you can check the ARG if you want more info on that. I attribute Corey's voice change to another entity in the woods that's probably at war with The Abyss/Celine's Coven (Kat and the girls as their possible reincarnations) or that The Abyss amplifies the worst aspect of you, or your rage, and takes no sides as long as you're the one that displays the most emotion. Everything that appears in the box, burned or otherwise, is just Abyss magic for now and/or time travel/dimension shenanigans that likely won't ever be explained; The Abyss is underdeveloped for now because it's going to be a recurring thing if the franchise ever takes off, according to the developers which sucks but that's all we get for now.
You likely focused too much on Kat, it's easy to do with either girl. You have to balance it out.
>>530080995Thanks anon. I will have a look at the ARG. I wasn't around at launch.
>>530082554>I wasn't around at launch.Aw that sucks, you missed a lot of fun in the theorycrafting side of things. Next LiS or LR game then.

>>530118532Pricefield breaking up mindbroke 90% of anons here
>>530118874Yeah that’s obviously the root problem but they really need to let it go or let this actually be a Life is Strange general again or convert this to a narrative games general or a DN/D9 general. I think the writing of DE was poor but it’s clear the root of most people’s problem is just Pricefield breaking up which is ridiculous. People need to let it go, it’s a video game ship, it’s not impacting your life.
>>530119529I'm actually in favor of making it a generalized DN/D9 general, but /lisg/ is the way it's always been known so I want old anons to still be able to find this place if they ever stop in.
>>530119810It’s a shadow of its self though. You can’t call it /lisg/ if non Life is Strange games are regularly discussed.
>>530120297But we're not a story game general either, because we don't talk about Telltale or similar. /lisg/ fits because Life is Strange is the primary focus and LR is permitted discussion as an intended spiritual successor by the original devs. Pretending that's too much of a stretch is just saying you've never been to /vg/.
>>530119529Who cares, Lost Records discussions have been a lot better than the endless shitposts we got post DE, which are either focused on the usual two anons that come here to troll and the whole behind the scene drama shit.

>>530085051I love Heartstrings. Ro is just perfect and why I would hope that we will get a narrative game that offers a romantic butch/femme dynamic at some point. Everyone should read it. I cannot wait for the physical release.
But I would not compare the relationship in it to Pricefield or Snora. Maybe if Nora never lost her punk edge then I could see it.

>>530220842>>530221085Both of these statements are true. The decline in quality through each game did nothing to help the franchise, however ever since the first game die hard Pricefield shippers not nothing but demand for Max and Chloe to return in some way.

It's not punishment, just the natural outcome.
If only Pricefielders supported LiS 2 from the jump they wouldn't be in this mess.
>>530245820Adult Nora does not want to face things the same way adult Autumn does. If you push her, she just attempts to disengage. You should let her open up.

>>530253503My favorite part of posts like these is how they cannot even get to the end of their sentence before they let it slip they're just outrageously butthurt over Chloe and don't have any sane point to make.

>>530246028pretty much what I said here back then. it was obvious the franchise would go back to Max at some point
>>530253503everything was missing there. that toxic, unhealthy shit was too harmful for Max, so it had to end one way or another. that’s partly what the game is about, actually
>>530255538this
I like how they don't even pretend anymore kek. But sure, keep pretending like you aren't the usual two same spammers that have flooding those threads in the past before.
One thing I like about Safi is that she actually does things to get revenge on people instead of being a scared little bitch like Chloe
Impersonating Lucas to say naughty things to his son, getting Gwen fired, shooting her mother. Chloe is nowhere near this based
>>530262175It was the same thing in the wake of BtS.
Just constant shit posts for years about what an awful person Chloe was, how they wish she died and how perfect Rachel was. It is the same basic shit now, just sub out Rachel for Amanda.
They hung around for years. What got them to finally leave was people no longer paying attention to them. So just ignore and do not engaged with the current 2 DE shitposters and they will leave in time.
>>530266948Swann is amazing, the best protagonist in any of these games and clearly a love letter from DN to the kinda women that comprise the fandoms of these types of games.
She would be the best character in the game, had Nora not just been perfect.
>>530267651You have had weirdos that have been obsessed with hating Chloe since the first LiS 1 episode came out. Remember that this was back when gamergate was starting to heat up.
While the exact reasons given have changed over the years, there is still this contingent of incel losers that cannot get over Chloe and go out of their way to express how much they hate her. A decade later and this punk lesbian is still living in their heads rent free.
That is basically what the legion was back in the day and it is who the 2 DE shitposters are now.
>>530277464Ignore them and they will go away.
Don't respond to them. Don't talk about them. Don't mention or reference DE.

As for coomers, they're actually good for any game or franchise. Look at Clair Obscur. We need to see more like that here. Right now, it's pretty much just Max who's kind of popular with the mainstream coomers.

>>530329297Yeah, the fault lies with only group that wanted more content.
How dare they.
A bit of nostalgia tonight.
I listened to BTS main menu theme.
What I would give to forget both LiS and BTS so that I could go through both of them again.
It's funny that LR never activated the same neuron within me.
So if Ever Anderson potentially ends up cast as Max in live-action LiS at least it seems she's a fan of the source material. A silly TikTok she did, lip-syncing LiS material from a few years ago. https://www.tiktok.com/@everanderson/video/7318941123240578350
>>530333013lel not sure about how much acting talent she has. But at least she captures Max's habit of not quite closing her mouth properly.
>>530333013Oh, and her working for a fashion-brand literally called 'Chloe'. On-the-nose subliminal messaging or mere coincidence. Let your paranoia decide!
>>530332438>It's funny that LR never activated the same neuron within me.It's a terrible game, people here just glaze it because they're pissed off Pricefield broke up. Reality is LiS was peak and any other franchise game or games fans like to think are 'related' like LR will never measure up because DN and D9 fail to realize LiS was lightning in a bottle and they will never be able to recreate it.
>>530333013>>530333651Paul W.S. Anderson's Life is Strange has a ring to it
>>530333651I remember Adnan making fun of her for being a nepo-baby. But she seems decently talented in the roles I've seen her in. And she looks the part in this pic. Sometimes a nepo-baby is under more pressure to be good because they have to live up to their family rep.

But, well - you can achieve perfection only once
>>530332206Well they begged for more Max then didn't like the outcome when it didn't cater to their ship. They should've just enjoyed what they got, LiS was never meant to have any sequels.
>>530335494If Ever does become the new Max, who's going to even play Chloe Price?
>>530337818When people asked for more Max, they also implied to have Chloe at her side, like the comic. Not that stupid soft reboot attempt that flopped hard and got all the devs fired.
>>530338794>When people asked for more Max, they also implied to have Chloe at her side, like the comic.Again, beggers can't be choosers, and they forgot Max was a character that has an identity outside of Chloe. I'm not arguing DE had bad writing, but shipfags only cared about the fact that their ship was no longer canon.
>>530337818Yeah? Square thought differently when they ordered another game to be made.
Obviously people didn't like TERRIBLE writing with their beloved characters, are you that dense?
>>530339068>Square thought differently when they ordered another game to be made.It was a blatant cash grab. No sequels were ever meant to be made, and with declining sales they decided to give people who begged for Max to come back what they wanted.
>>530338592likely an unknown up-and-comer. that girl from yellowjackets could do it probably
>>530339663This. And DE likely killed future interest for the franchise going foward
>>530340234Whomst? Soapy?
>>530338592If they're casting age-appropriate actors they might try for the Stranger Things route. Cast relative unknowns that young people become obsessed with and turn into stars. Ever Anderson herself isn't really a 'name' in Hollywood yet. Most people don't know her.
Of course there's no guarantee that young people will latch on to the show. But the 'Stranger Things' or 'Wednesday' casting model are shows that use genuine young people rather than 30 year olds pretending to be teens.
The Ever thing is just a rumor due to her posting random LiS content on her socials and looking a lot like Max. But she does have a deal with Amazon Studios who also have the first-look rights for LiS live-action if Dj2/Storykitchen ever have a pilot to pitch.
>>530340695Sophie Thatcher is 24, Ever is 17 soon to be 18, if she does play Max. If anons have another suggestion for a Chloe actor, that can fill Ever age gap better, dump it there.
>>530340982Soapy is both too old, too short, and too stacked to play Chloe.

Looking at some of the comments on the DE trailers and they're talking about how they can't wait to see Chloe again. Poor bastards.
Anyway, Cassidy.
>>530341312Agreed. Though I spent 60 seconds doing the fastest, laziest, shittiest possible photoshop to get a sense of her with blue hair. She's got the acting chops to play a layered punk character if Yellowjackets is any indication. But thanks to YJ she's become more of a name in the industry.

🔍
>>530345870I'd prefer an animation as well. But my guess is Squaresoft doesn't view the pipeline as 'LiS gamers will watch the show'. They view it as 'show watchers will buy the game'. Basically what happened with Fallout where the success of the show spiked game sales a ton.
My only hope in my general cynicism is the guy who's been in the 10 year development hell of LiS live-action also turned 10 years of development hell on Sonic live-action into an adaptation that those fans genuinely ended up loving. But I dunno if he can pull off that miracle, twice.
Funnily enough, if young people end up loving live-action Chloe that's the sort of thing that might encourage Square to re-embrace in-game Chloe. Though who knows if that just ends up being a hasty remake of LiS1 to capitalize.

>>530342169When she's got bangs, darker hair and a hoodie, I can kinda see it.
>>530346991I'm extremely doubtful the show will be good enough to spark any passion for the LiS franchise again, if it does get made. As for the Fallout show, the only reason it turned out as good as it was laid mostly on Johnatan Nolan being a big fan of the games and with the supervision of Todd Howard, same for that TLOU show with Neil Druckmann being involved in the first two seasons.
To have the LiS show being thar big of a success, you either need someone who is as passionate for LiS as Nolan was for Fallout, or Michel Koch himself supervising the project. Otherwise, the result is going to be a worse version of all the bad thropes we already saw in either Stranger Things, Euphoria and 13 Reasons Why, with shitload of people making fun of it on social media and getting cancelled after one season.

>>530348787Agreed. The showrunner and writers will be key. The cold comfort is if we read this archived article with the Dmitri guy who's been trying to get the show made from the beginning, he's at least saying the right things.
In essence that a game like LiS is 'art' and not just fluff. And that he wants his adaptations to be worthy of winning awards rather than just some throwaway teen-cringe. And that he forces Hollywood execs to play the game before they're allowed to weigh in.
https://web.archive.org/web/20230922155921/https://www.protocol.com/entertainment/video-game-adaptation-dj2-entertainment

People didn't want more Max. They wanted more Max AND Chloe.
It's not their fault that DE is a shitshow, they cannot be blamed for SE greed.

>>530389820Thank you anon for speaking the truth
>>530389820They don't, anon. She only had a little above 20% favorability in the last survey
>>530391293You have zero sources to back up that claim.
Has anything interesting happened since de released? Have we gotten any information of if they were on drugs or just fucking stupid when they broke up price field?
>>530395469We don't know shit, Square seems to have given up on the official LiS social media accounts outside of the TikTok one reposting LiS1 content, and whoever runs the D9 account seems to only reply to people being positive to DE and all
>>530395862Olivia >>> Hannah by a long shot
>>530395469One of the writers, Aysha Farah used to be spilling a lot of tea on that topic until someone sniped her and she deleted a lot of it. But in essence, they had to rewrite the story like 4 times and the mandate to get rid of Chloe seemed to come from the top of the pyramid at Square Enix UK.
Why would SE even want to get rid of Chloe? They didn't want to pay Ashly?
>>530397157She's also deflecting a lot of the blame onto Square to paint themselves as the victims, because I doubt stuff like the horny writing that made it into the game were all mandated by higher ups. Ladydev said it best when she claimed that D9 management acts like cucks to Square because they do not want to lose the IP rather than to make something good.
>>530400063There's a whole lot of drama surrounding SE and Ashly that's based on plenty of hearsay, SE not playing ball with the money, Ashly acting like a prima donna etc. It could be a contributing factor why Chloe keeps getting sidelined but it's mostly a separate thing if I recall. It's more to do with SE not wanting to be labeled a gay company back then
>>530400063If they could have Chloe again, she would be voiced by Rihanna Devries, but the issue as detailed by ladydev was some exec like five years or more ago thought that Ashly said something bad about Before the Storm when she didn't and sent an angry letter on not having her again, and then they sent another letter saying how some people didn't like Rihanna's perfomance so they wouldn't have recasted her as a majour character again. They are probably going to send another angry letter about the fans complaining about Chloe and telling D9 to bring her back because they lost a ton of money on DE already.
>>530401502Ashly absolutely did nothing wrong in all of this drama, this is 100% Square being an incompetent control freak, and D9 being incompetent cucks
>>530395469Double Exposure was announced in June and released in October 2024. Before that we had:
February 2021 leak
https://www.reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumours/comments/lsm3y8/life_is_strange_3_and_4_info/
August 2022 leak
https://www.reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumours/comments/wfn075/potential_life_is_strange_4_rumor/
January 2024 leak
https://www.reddit.com/r/lifeisstrange/comments/19anv78/comment/kiopn5s/
Back in December, Deck Nine lost roughly 30% of their staff due to layoffs. In March, Square Enix (who owns the IP) has said that Double Exposure was a "large loss" for the company.
At this point, there is no information out there that a sequel or new entry in the franchise is in production.
>>530402153The January 2024 was made by some folk who attended a Square focus group in late '22, after that other playtest folk, saying that DE was called "Aperture", how Max had a camera rewind mechanic and how it was only set within the sacrifice Chloe timeline. But the early leak by that August 2022 playtester said the dual timelines were already in the game and Chloe was supposed to have an appareance as well, which was probably cut as other stuff as well. God this game was such as shit hole of development
>>530405314Makes you wonder if the "Double Exposure" feature in the camera is some kind of left over

>>530389820People shouldn’t have asked in the first place though - you missed the point that their story was finished. Then they complained when it didn’t go the way they wanted.

This is the January and February survey made by Square post DE, have fun
>>530430996Word of mouth is what matters for a game like LiS, you compound all those problems going foward and you end up with a flop like DE. TC did well enough even if the whole premise of "le power of empathy" is enough to make normies roll their eyes away.
>>530431371tru but normies hate chloe its why theyre still giving her shit 10 years later
>>530431951Most normies are indifferent or split even, but a good part of them know at least who Chloe is and she's iconic enough to take people attention, is the hater crowd that really hates her guts and regardless they have all an higher chance to not like LiS in the first place.
>>530431371>Word of mouth is what mattersThere’s no solid evidence yet that it had any real impact, and the LR results actually showed the opposite
>TC did well enoughTC came out at a totally different times and didn’t break the pattern - sales were around 50% lower than the last game. DE did pretty much the same thing
>>530432419>indifferent or split evenNo, they seriously hate her and they’re pretty vocal about it. That stuff from the last focus groups where people openly called out her presence is totally legit.
>a good part of them know at leastDoesn’t really help, to be honest.
>>530433428You have zero proof of thar as well, as I doubt you have ever been to those focus groups. Your game is weak desu
>>530432421A established IP with word of mouth and large marketing and the ridicolous expectations of Square Enix vs a new IP with barely any marketing and reasonable expectations helped by a PS Plus deal, maybe we should take those into account when talking about positive word of mouth.
>>530433428>That stuff from the last focus groups where people openly called out her presence is totally legit.At this point I'm fairly confident SE has been actively curating the focus groups to deliberately avoid having fans of the first game, so I'm not surprised people they bring in who don't meet that mold yet still somehow know the franchise would be rabid haters.

>He treats Dylan and Kat like shit in their own family home, ostensibly with their father around. Is their dad a cuck who can't stand up for his own daughters?There was some discussion a while back about their dad. Theory goes that the dad keeps a blind eye as long as Corey wrangles Dylan which would be a disappointment but isn't so far off given the generation their dad belongs to. There's also the theory that parents are absent because they're traveling all over the country to find better treatments for Kat/ too busy with hunting season. Which would explain why Corey gets away with stuff e.g. one mention where he was breaking shit in the house, Dylan's bruises etc.
>>530434142They didn't really got away this time, as some LIs1 folks actually made it there
>>530434420Not your best, but I appreciate the effort at least with that game. Would be cool to see a DE!Chloe cover of similar effort, maybe something on Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Brody Dalle solo or something on Patti Smith.
>Theory goes that the dad keeps a blind eye as long as Corey wrangles Dylan which would be a disappointment but isn't so far offIt can be both, really. Kat's parents seems very conservative leaning but do seem to put her on an higher pedastal than Dylan, so they'll probably do their best to find the best cure for the time available
>>530430349Yup, it was mostly just questions about a possible LiS1 remake, how DE was received, and whether or not you sacrificed AB. No other mention of Chloe at all.
>>530436041i havs a better Joan, this as Chloe and its perfect, otherwise Nora in LR is fine too

>>530433763Proof of what exactly? That people from the focus groups actually said that?
>>530434142The way people described it, it felt like they were less interested in feedback the second time around, more showing, less asking
>>530436041>Would be cool to see a DE!Chloe coverVery limited options for that one I'm afraid. Amanda's model can only be posed in one scene, I've tried others to no avail. Which sucks because modded Chloe in the final scene wears a The High Seas shirt that looks great. Joan Jett could work but the rest maybe not.
>Kat's parents seems very conservative leaning but do seem to put her on an higher pedastal than DylanAgreed and the fact that they're most likely figureheads in VC, and churchgoers, would make sense to keep them in line so as to not spur any scandal.

>>530418413>You don't get to decide if people can want more contentObviously not. Pricefield fans bullied the devs into making a new game (and D9 was desperate for money when made them cave in). LiS was intended to never have a sequel. Had they never begged and begged, they’d never have to face their ship breaking up.
>>530445490XD
Yeah, if people didn't want any games, none would be made.
That is how the world works
>>530445624Are you just lacking reading comprehension skills? The point is LiS never was intended to have a sequel featuring the same characters - one and done. Had fans just accepted it, none of DE would’ve ever happened and they could’ve had the endings in the first game and left things up to their interpretation had they chosen Bay. I blame some of this on D9 too as they were retarded to bring back Max for a cash grab game just to have her broken up with Chloe considering how insane Pricefield shippers are, but fans partly are to be blame for begging for a sequel for years. If they accepted what they got, DE would’ve never been made.
>>530446530>If they accepted what they got, DE would’ve never been madePlus, chances are DN, with more creative freedom in that case, would’ve stuck with SE as their publisher instead of having to crank out low-budget crap like LR

>>530464779 has the right idea for a potential approach, giving a side character a spinoff preferably before the events of the game this way it avoids pissing fans off.

>>530499064Amanda the bartender DLC
We need a BtS like prequel but with protagonist Rachel so we can finally end the decade long debate about whether she was a cheater or just a whore who Chloe got too attached to
>>529649978DE's timeliness merging ending was a huge missed opportunity concerning Max and Chloe. After the timelines merged, it's plausible enough that the Bae/Bay timelines merged as well. Can you imagine if the last scene of DE was Max's phone vibrating, her taking it out and we just see "Chole" on the caller ID? Would work for either ending choice in LiS, the two choices are now effectively merged.
>>530501043That's what BtS should have been. It should have been in the vain of Lynch's "Fire Walk with Me". A story about the downfall of Rachel without the weird mom thing would've been more interesting but I doubt the devs had the skill or balls to write what would've been required to portray that effectively.
>>530503338nah thanks
>>530504343weren't they originally planning to go that route anyway? i mean, rachel was supposed to be the protagonist at first, right? but that would've made the whole project way more complicated. definitely something deck wouldn't have been able to pull off
>>530503338That would have been cheap as fuck, but honestly makes more sense if the goal is to cash in Max for future games.
>>530501043>>530504343I think it's better that we don't really know Rachel. The mystery of the character was much more interesting.
>>530512123That’s exactly why I’m saying BtS was the game that basically kicked off the downfall of the whole franchise. It killed the magic and everything.
>>530499064Cat """DLC""" was cut from the main game by orders of square enix
>>530501043How about no?
1. It's better to leave some things not said straightforward
2. I don't trust D9 to not mess it up even further.
3. Rachel was never a main character - she was always a means to an and for story to go forward. Whatever she truly was like is NOT RELEVANT. What matters is that she was important to Chloe and then she got murdered.
>>530503338That was the original idea for DE if I remember right; the dead and living worlds would have been the bae and bay timelines

I replayed the original LIS for the first time since 2017, I decided to platinum it, and it's better than I remembered. I'm still pretty fucking annoyed by how obviously the nightmare sequence was designed to guilt you into letting Chloe die. Zero subtlety. It was so blatant that it becomes repellant.
Also, I still reject the premise that allowing Chloe to die would stop the storm because it's still meddling with the timeline. If anything, it should just make the storm worse like everything else Max did. It just doesn't make logical sense to me.
But, other than that, 10/10.
>>530601085I think it depends on if we are talking about BtS, LiS 1 or post-LiS 1 Chloe.
BtS Chloe would be a mess, but funnily enough they both probably would actually end up in LA and do well for themselves. I could definitely see Nora getting Chloe into playing music, probably starting a band together ala Drugstore Makeup.
