>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, awkward photography student who discovers she can rewind time and—perhaps more urgently—that she’s very, very gay. At the heart of the story is Max’s reunion with her estranged best friend, the rebellious, blue-haired Chloe Price. Their bond becomes the game’s pulsing queer core as they unravel the mystery of Rachel Amber’s disappearance. What begins as a teenage reconnection blooms into a messy, tender queer odyssey about grief, desire, and the impossible choices we make for the people we can't truly live without.

We will live, even if Life is Strange dies by incompetence

>Never believe that the anti Chloe trolls are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge.
>But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Chloe have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors.
>They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

fake and gay thread. mods pls delete. sage

No

It's fair to dislike Chloe because at first she's brash and impulsive, but another thing is to getting really skin deep and just see her as being that type of person with no chance to growth or change while defending Nathan or David Madsen

If you think it's "very important" for you to Chloe being dead in a bathroom at the lowest point of her life, you have issues

And also, this point is specifically referring to the bad faith trolls that have plagued /lisg/ by a while, who do not care about the franchise but only comment out of spite

>>544738575 (OP)
They included LR in the actual thread. Why did you make a seethe response this time? >>544725382
>>544750876
So like all the LRfags who post to spite DE?

>>544751181
It's a lot more simpler if you just put the curator list of all LiS games if you care so much
All of this wouldn't be happening if you lunatic fucks weren't so anal about DE in the first place

>>544751403
All the games are listed in the other thread. There was zero reason for a duplicate to have been made.
>lunatic fucks
I’m not the one who made another general because I didn’t like what the OP said about an off topic game.

>>544751565
/lisg/ threads aren't lasting longer those days, previous one was pruned at just 120 replies for no reason at all

Do you think those schizos in the other thread are just what remains of the older legion folks? Their behaviour seems very rabid

I just miss the old lisg

>>544751292
>you lost (again)
>have your previous thread die at one hundred post in

If this isn't a phyrric victory, I don't know what else

Remember the last thread LRfag crybabies made?

>>544755008
As opposed to the last thread who died in like hundred posts?

>>544755134
It had the crybaby/seethe OP. the last one that made it to the end has the real thread’s OP.

>>544755397
>real thread
>DEfags and Chloe haters desperately trying to hijack the general
They should be treated as the cancer they actually are

Its sad to see the general in this state, and it cannot be overstated how much damage the franchise has receive due to Square greed and out of touch management, with the only active members here being just low IQ trolls and repost of old fanarts. I really do not see a stable future for the franchise going foward, and I wouldn't be surprised if after DE2 inevitably flops and D9 dies they will consider to sell the IP if the show ends up being a one season deal.
I still remember the silly shitposts two years ago and the low activity fluff, now all of that is just gone.

Dispatch is too much capeshit for my taste even if its quite cool, but what I fear the most is how its success will be seen by Square as a way to turn Life is Strange into a low effort copy of it with none of the passion put in

>>544758501
If the tv series fails, the IP will have close to zero value left. Nobody in their right mind would buy that. Everything dies at some point.

Nice to see the true spirit of /lisg/ continues.
Unfortunate that the other thread is made out of pure spite. Imagine a world without Double Exposure. better yet, imagine a world where the series had been treated with care from all parties.

You meant this one, the one that was made hours later in response to the real thread.

Why did Brooke choose to Dab at the sight of Kate on the roof?

kek base Chengrich enjoyers

>>544780373
It's over.

>>544780373
The real Halloween scare is them closing down next year
Why are they trying to be active again after a year of nothingness?

>>544787336
I respect Alex and Steph, but they aren't as iconic as Max and Chloe, and all their media post TC has kinda been a flop. I don't even know for what audience that Izzie noverl is made for, as I can count the people interested in with the fingers of my hand

>>544796098
For all I know, the Izzie book could be amazing, but it's an odd choice for sure.

>>544795831
I think their social media strategy is to minimize the risk of people talking about DE.

>>544797289
>I think their social media strategy is to minimize the risk of people talking about DE.
This. They know that any Max post will get people talking about how awful they thought DE was, or question where Chloe is. So their strategy is to just avoid Max posting.

>>544796098
I wonder if it was a two books deal with the writer. Because objectively, while it's nice to have more representation, Izzie is niche of the niche.
At least, it doesn't cost a few million dollars to produce.

>>544797950
Did they forgot there are other social media tho? When DE2 comes out it will be a mess again, tucking the head under the sand can only work so much

>>544800758
They're not going to post about DE2.

>>544804080
If they cancel it, sure.

GAYLOWEEN!

>>544797950
>avoid Max posting
The fact that this is the result of a game that they were so confident would be a hit in large part due to the presence of Max is very funny.

>>544828656
The official LIS account forgot about Max's own birthday, while Dontnod and even D9 did not kek
