Previous Thread: Life is Strange is an episodic interactive drama from DONTNOD Entertainment. Set in the Pacific Northwest in the town of Arcadia Bay, the player follows the story of Maxine Caulfield and her seemingly newfound ability to turn hella gay and rewind time. At the prestigious Blackwell Academy, Max must prepare with Chloe Price for the incoming storm of returning to her hometown after five years. Available on Steam, PSN and Xbox Live.
Before Episode 5's release: >Lol Mari's theories're shitty.It's way more than shitty to become true >Chloe has to die thing doesn't make sense.Don't worry they will come with unpredictable story >We're gonna learn everything about Max's powers,Rachel and Prescotts even Nathan,spirit animals.. >Jefferson knows about Max's powers >Nathan,Frank,David or Samuel's gonna save us >Victoria's with Max,she'll save her >(After seeing Cemetery scene from leaks) I'm sure it'll be Williams,Rachel's or Kate's grave. >Rachel's the doe and Butterfly and probably we'll see her in Max's dream >Blue Jay's Chloe
After Episode 5's release: >Mari's shitty cliche theory became right >We visited the SF art gallery for 3 seconds. FOR 3 DAMN SECONDS >Jefferson became a silly bad guy from Disney >David came to save us.He's a former-soldier but he can't even fight,just listens teenager's orders. Even he doesn't know she has some time travel powers. >Victoria's with us in the dark room.Laying there and we can talk her or not.Just it. >Nathan get killed,Victoria too >Nathan knew something about the storm but they cut it. >Warren explained Max's powers(!)(thanks warryn) We found out her power causes/related with Chaos Theory and storm.It's not like we didn't know or something. >Storm is only coming for Bay because Chloe lives in there but Max's the one who keep changes the time >Prescotts story erased.Nobody even mention their name. >Rachel's story fucked too.She isn't or butterfly,bluejay just spiritualdoe >Spirit animals thing died.Blue Butterfly's storm summoner just it. >Chloe dies again in one of endings (unpredictable) It gives you a lesson: You shouldn't have used your power.And you shouldn't play this game.Now erase your choices and cry like a bitch. >Chloe has to die thing comes true, Cemetery scene explained with that. >The other ending's short but it's less cliché than other.We saved Chloe,storm's hit the town and gone.That's it. >Epilogue: Use ur imaginations:)muh budget

Max is #1
Nathan Jenkins
>As Max and Chloe are leaving the ruins of Arcadia Bay behind, there's one more tragic story unfolding >Alice and Lisa stuck in Max's room, Alice hasn't eaten anything in days, the dorms are destroyed and no one comes looking for them >"No one's gonna come save us, this is the end, we'll starve to death..." >Alice...you can survive this and go back to your owner. All you have to do is... all you have to do is eat me." >"What? No, fuck that. Lisa, you're my number one priority, I'm not eating you!" >"Alice, think about it... how many times this week did you try to nibble my leafs? I'm a plant, Alice, you're a bunny, maybe it's time I accept my destiny... OUR destiny." >"Lisa, I can't make this choice!" >"No Alice, you're the only one who can"
So it's the middle of the night an do just finished ep5, I'm exhausted emotionally but I can't sleep after that ending. What steps should I take?
Brody Jones
step 1; cry a lot
step 2; wonder if you can become a pacific-northwest-oregon-lesbian
step 3; try to find other games like LiS
step 4; cry again because nothing compares
step 5; become obessed with pricefield related things
step 6; i'm still on step 5

Nicholas Campbell
Just curious what did you choose at the end? answer wisely...

Aiden Brown
I guess I'll start with step 1 then. I chose to save Chloe, it's a video game anyway, no real life are at loss, besides all that pricefield stuff is pretty comfy.
Carter Jenkins
good choice
Luke Young
>I chose to save Chloe
Welcome aboard.
James Hernandez
Maybe Max has a bunch of hoodies in a variety of colors. Each equally comfy. She probably also has a bunch of cute clothes in her room in Seattle. But Chloe will need new stuff if she's going to stay with the Caulfileds while Joyce and David fix up their house.
Anthony Gray

Hi /lisg/ ! I really need your help.
Life is Strange has been my favourite game ever since I played it for the first time back in December 2015. I obviously wanted to play it again immediately, as I liked it so much, but held myself back, because I felt like it would ruin the experience for me. The next time I played it was April 2016, and it felt like it was the first time playing it. Back in July I got up to the junkyard, but then stopped and told myself that I should wait a bit longer. As of tomorrow I'm on 2 weeks of holidays, and it's October, pretty much perfect for this game, but I'm not sure whether I'm ready to go again or not, athough I was incredibly excited over the past weeks. What would you advice? Wait a bit longer, or go for it now? Also play it in one sitting or 1 episode a day?
Landon Ortiz
I think you should finish it again during your holiday for two reasons. One, you don't know when you'll have the time to properly finish it again, and two is that Season 2 of LiS is coming out next year and you'll want to have finished replaying it before then. Maybe do a fast-run again before the new episodes come out.
I also think you should spread it out a little bit since you have the time off. That way you can take the time to think about what happened and process it in a different way. I've only done one playthrough and I did it all in one day. While that was fun I also know that means I need to wait longer to play it again for it to have the same impact for each moment.
Liam Nelson
This Friday - October 7th - is the first day of the game (albeit in 2013). If you're looking to replay, going through one episode a day from Friday to Tuesday would be a good path
Ryder Ross
Keep playing the episodes, but make sure to look around and talk to everyone. I always discover new things when I replay the game.
And yea space out your episodes. It's not good for your health to sit through all episodes. i remember a news article saying a Chinese girl lost her sight because she stared at her computer screen for hours non-stop to watch entire Korean drama series An episode a day is good. That's what I did.
Andrew Roberts
Gray all the way. It's so snuggly. Sometimes I wear my gray zipper hoody and snuggle into myself imagining I'm a Chloe snuggling a Max. :3 But just as a latent, fleeting thought. Because that's weird.
I really like Max's casual outfit, and while I'm usually fairly fashion-conscious, I also like that unassuming sneaker-jeans-hoody combo on real people.
I think it's cool such a simple outfit could grow to seem so iconic on this awesome character. The little details and idiosyncracies in the outfit do add a style - she likes her clothes and "has her own cool style" -, but essentially it's just a simple, utilitarian combination of garments (bag included) that she likes, feels comfortable in, that fits her and does express her personality a fair bit. The basic silhouette is unassuming and reveals that she's not all that concerned about how people see her or that they see her at all, but more that she's practical and comfortable. At the same time, there's play in the color combination, whacky color coordination, playfulness in her shirts and shoes - these reflecting her more funny, vivid and adventurous (in)side. But that's getting a little too interpretive; I think the charm of her outfit altogether lies in this almost infantile unpretentiousness of it while at the same time not making her seem infantile at all. She looks perfectly feminine and "her age". Elegant even, with the wide-cut crewneck of her shirts, pastel color palette, slender, delicate lines.
Always gets a smirk. What an absolute dork!

You can do better than that moite
Christian Morgan
Yeah, I'd say 90% here are first and foremost BAE > Bay.
Daniel Wood
>Season 2 of LiS is coming out next year Can you stop this meme and end yourself?
Isaiah Cooper
I don't care about which ending did you choose.But from your posts we all know that who you are, where did you come from and coming this thread only for shit posting.
And yes, people here was supporting Bae ending even before Episode 5's release.
Julian Perez

Grow up.
Asher Robinson
>''hurr durr having an opinion is bait'' cliché nice try spammerkun
Nathan Cox
And what's your preference to the hug box? Is it turning the game off? I certainly hope it's not bay.
Isaiah Martinez

Logan Murphy
oh wow is this oil painting? amazing!
Juan Walker
Looks digital to me. The way some of the colours are blending, the lack of shadows/highlights from real paint, and a few other details, make me suspect it's not traditional medium.
Benjamin Bailey
>Only two votes for Stella
Sebastian Rodriguez
Stella is a bit of an odd one. We talk to her like, what, twice during the game? And in those conversations she (1) gossips about the probably-dead girl having slept with one of the teachers (presumably while underaged, I don't remember), then (2) discusses her recreational use of illegal drugs as a study aide.
Stella aint stellar.
Xavier Hall
I liked her because I can relate to her shitty family life and focusing on her studies to try and ignore it.
Alexander Adams
>not relating himself with Alyssa
Aiden Sanchez
Will Hannah choose bae or Bay?
Parker Phillips
how far are they now I haven't started it yet
Lucas Hill
I trust Nik He'll help her to make the right decision.
Colton Anderson
Hopefully Dayeanne will be there too. She seemed about as fond of Warren as Nik was.
Evan Ross
kek.gets me everytime
Grayson Walker
I bet Michel makes a surprise appearance when they play through episode 5.
He wants to make sure they pick the "right" choice.
Ian Stewart
what choice does Michel think is "right"
Jordan Rogers
It's starting to annoy me too honestly. If you believe we're going to see season 2 before 2018 then you lack critical thought. Let this meme die.
(still you didn't have to be a meanie about it, user was just trying to help)
>Stella aint stellar.
Very todah indeed.
Real talk. I haven't been watching the streams because I loathe lets plays, like, to an irrational extent. It's like nails on a chalkboard to me. But is Nik actually as much of a bro as you guys make him out to be? Because I'd consider enduring it if he is.
Ryder Wood
shut up michel
Ian Howard
...
Asher Ross
no really I don't know what he thinks is the good ending, if I had to guess he thinks its saving the bay
Lincoln Jenkins
What choice Michel thinks is ''right'' is always ''wrong,shitty,illogical'' to us user. since he loves suffering Max's life with stupid tragedies
Brandon Wilson
the only choice I remember him making was not trying to shoot frank (in my opinion that's the bad option don't know about y'all)
Jeremiah Bailey
>a man treats both of you with knife >first you choose to not shoot him >he takes your gun >but since you've got time-travel powers you can actually rewind to see the another consclucion >rewind the time and try to shoot him >gun's actually empty >he doesn't take the gun and just blusters you instead coward Michel
Wyatt Robinson
It'd be a bad option if the gun was loaded (just like that retarded choices in Episode 4)
As this user said in-game we can actually time-travel, so we can see either situations.
So it's retarded to give the gun rein to some dangerous guy for no reason while you know that you're not gonna hurt him because the gun wasn't loaded and he doesn't take it when you tried to shoot him.
Angel Bailey
It was annoying that you couldn't rewind and ask Chloe for the bullets. If not to shoot Frank then just to intimidate him. In hindsight it wouldn't have been the best move, but in the moment I would have chosen that over the other two options.
Samuel Young
>friendly reminder that turning off your game at the decision screen is confirmed canon ending
Isaac Ortiz
yeah I didn't shoot at first but didn't like what happened so I rewinded and was much happier with that outcome, anytime chloe hugs max it makes me smile
Adrian Jenkins
Imagine if Hannah and Nik turn the game off at the final decision.
It would be the best possible ending.
Jackson Morales
drink.
Sebastian Wood
looks like our qts are raving in deus ex
Logan Rogers
>Nik says he'll choose the bae no matter what the cost >Hannah's also aware of Max and Chloe's relationship but since Michel brainwashed her about everybody will be ded, she starts to feel guilty >Nik threats her about he'll turn the console off if she chooses the left decision >Hannah starts crying and chooses the left decision >Nik crushes the console and cuts the stream
Aaron Torres
>Pricefield easter egg Top fucking kek
Benjamin Hall
but remember Hannah has said that ''Love is crazy'' about Max and Chloe
Carter Peterson
Kate is Great!
Xavier Kelly
Nik is literally a comedian, look him up. He makes good commentary. I hate lets plays but this lets play is actually entertaining. it's also really good seeing hannah's emotions.
Ryan Flores
anyone ever see the video of Hannah playing obstacles she has a pretty good singing voice
at the rave away from anyone else these two are dancing and it's very cute and goofy just like in the game
Grayson Lopez
Alright, I'll give it a shot. Never thought I'd be willingly watching a lets play. Then again I never thought I'd be shipping Kate and Dana so there's that.
Julian Lopez
Dana is somehow awesome. I like the cute kate and frank ship too
Jayden Price
"Hey. Warren Graham here, I'm just sitting in my car right now, watching a beautiful sunset descend beyond that hill up there. Enjoying a nice Vanilla Latte. Oh yeah, that's nice. Makes me feel all pumped up, ready to go ape. I've been doing a lot of thinking, about how sad and unfair my life has been. All because Max hasn't been attracted to me, won't Go Ape with me. I've been going to Blackwell for 2 and a half years now, and in those 2 and a half years I've had to rot in bleak and sad loneliness, While other guys get to enjoy all the pleasures of sex and socialising and partying. I've never had a taste of that. Because Max won't give me a chance. No girl at the academy has ever expressed any interest in me. It's such an injustice.Women are not drawn to indicators of evolutionary fitness. If they were, they'd be all over me. I don't understand you, Max. Your sexual attraction to Chloe is flawed. You're attracted to the wrong kind of person. You should be attracted to guys like me. Beautiful, magnificent guys. This world, it's so twisted, so cruel. And you, Max, make it cruel. You have starved me of sex, and enjoyment and pleasure, and going ape. Blackwell's day of reckoning is coming."

Lincoln Evans
scat pls be Kate not Warryn
Dylan Watson
I've never really understood this pic. Why is Dana picking Kate up? I know this pic is part of a series where she does the same to other girls, but there usually seems to be a reason (Max getting scared and jumping into her arms thinking she's Chloe, her hoisting Vicky up for bullying, etc).
Is this supposed to be some shipping thing? Kate is blushing a lot in the little chibi version on the left, and it looks like she's engrossed in the view of Dana's butt in the main image.
