/lisg/ - Life is Strange General #511

Sounds interesting. It shows a lot about Max that she can be harsh on herself, sometimes a little too harsh.
In the game during the alternate timeline she's getting pissed at her alternate self for how she behaves and seems to just shrug off Chloe. I've read a few fics were Max is learning about her autopilot's actions but they were mostly with a lighter tone.

Why didn't Max trade her life for Chloe's and become one with the time stream silently guiding her friend/lover to a prefect life

I need an adorkable girl like Max as my gf right now

Why does every girl in this game look like she's 12 years with no tits?

>perfect life
>without max
come on user

Go back to /v/.

thread is ded like kate and chloe

everybody is sleeping

Because you watch too much porn

battle scars aside, mistress is very much alive

...

nice alternate timeline, lad

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"

W-what happened to her?!

99% of Kate's character is just her reacting to being bullied. You guys dont like Kate, you like the idea of being her white knight. You're going full Warren.

This is so true.

ok

...

...

The mystery is part of the appeal. If you don't pay much attention to her, you miss out on information about her that can help you save her on the roof. If you take the time to talk to her or snoop around her room she has a lot more character than the others at blackwell. She's still a side character and doesn't really have much screen time so obviously there's not a lot of opportunity for character development, but there's more to her than just that bullied girl.

Indeed. She's amusing, dry-humored, and slightly volatile.

That's not true. She's sweet and cuddly. I want to play a game as Kate.

Jefferson did nothing wrong.

I mean, he drugged people, kidnapped them and actually killed people.

He did lots of things wrong. He's a talentless loser in a dead-end job and it took only two days of investigating for a couple of teenage girls to uncover his crimes.

who /wishing it was august already/ here?

How's the game on PC, framerate-wise? I recently played on PS4 and it got a lil choppy at times, gonna replay soon and was wondering if I should play onPC

why

an average PC will run the game smoothly at 60fps in 1080p with every settings maxed out

How is Ouroboros? Worth reading? Does it actually capture the personality of the characters? Not enough people seem to get that you cant just add wowsers and hellas and have Max and Chloe.

it runs smoothly in my toaster
LiS is far from being a very demanding game

because chloe's new game is out in august, silly

Fuck me thats quick.

>slightly

what kind of ''multiple'' endings we can expect on the prequel?

There are people in this thread who didn't save Kate.

I feel numb
I feel numb in this kingdom
AAAAAAAaaaaaaaAAAaaa

Reminder that they were made for each other

FOLLOW ME HOME, PRETEND YOU

FOUND SOMEBODY TO MEND YOU

I fucked up the 1st time I played through, gave the following episode a heavier feel.

That said if saved, I rather like the visit to her in hospital.

You can redo the scene as many times as you want.

The part with Kate on the roof?

Yes. I failed the first few tries but I didn't start the next chapter until I saved her.

That's cheating though, they clearly don't want you to have multiple chances at saving her when they made max's powers fail. Although it's worth it to see this qt cinnamon bun in the hospital

Naturally, I let the cards fall as they may.

If they didn't want me too they wouldn't have had the option to scene select previous chapters.

People should stop being so butthurt over Amberprice

this tbqhwy people

...

I got nerveous as fuck so I alt tabbed and googled "how to save kate pls" on my first playthrough.
Am I a bad person?

All of the girls are gay.

"Friendship" is just another word for foreplay.

Alice will have two mommies now.

This. It's just something that happened while Max was not in Chloe's life. So it really shouldn't affect them as a couple. What matters now is that Amber is ded and busted and Max & Chloe have a cute bright future ahead of them

Don't feel too bad. Not like it's a feat but I saved Kate blind on my first try. Just play Max as a decent human being and you can save 3rd best girl

>Just play Max as a decent human being and you can save 3rd best girl
but dana lives no matter what you do

...

Chloe is stronk

So stronk

Wonder what the soundtrack is going to be in BtS.
Will we get more of the indie vibe or some punk rock to fit Chloe and Rachel better?

We'll have punk rock songs in the in-game songs that the characters listen to, and probably a harsher, yet still melancholic, soundtrack.

New interview.

>David, who everybod's got to love because he's awesome.

Are they serious?

>Garris: It's her combination of strength and ferocity with her vulnerability. I love broken characters, I love flawed characters, because they're real. And I want more stories to celebrate flaws and normalise them, and explore how that's okay. I think Chloe is such a wonderful spokesperson for people who feel disenfranchised, for people who feel alone, for people who feel broken in some way. I hope fans will get to play her and embody her and meet Rachel and meet other characters that we have, and walk away feeling hopeful. About meeting people in their real lives and feeling okay about whatever it is that they're going through.

That's a beautiful and optimistic-sounding answer, that we will walk away feeling hopeful. Means it won't end on a shitty note.

Chloe so strong!

Chloe pushes David and it's not fair, he served his dues in a war.

>But that Max episode, she won't have her powers yet? Because it's also a prequel?

>Garris: I don't wanna speak to the details, just yet.

But that Max episode, she won't have her powers yet? Because it's also a prequel?

Garris: I don't wanna speak to the details, just yet.

Hmmm really makes you think

Yeah, no. That's his problem.

Chloe doesn't push David; Chloe is cornered by him, and she fights back. He abuses her, emotionally and physically, while her idiot mother does nothing, and neglects her.

She's on autopilot mode.
Maybe Chloe will bring up what she said before William left, only for her not to remember it

>How much freedom did you have to play around with those established characters that we meet again? Is this Dontnod's story or is this... have you been given free license?

>Garris: From high-level conception through full execution all the way into the production of the game, this has been entirely Deck Nine. We're working in partnership with the core team at Square Enix that worked on the first Life is Strange.

This worries me a little.

Like, a basic example here, what if they establish Rachel as a girl with time powers at the end of EP3 as a surprise, but for DONTNOD, she was just a regular girl?

I don't want any conflictions like that, man.

>VICTORIA IS A SOPHOMORE
>SHE'S NOT RUNNING THE PLACE
>SHE'S CLIMBING THE LADDER, STABBING BACKS

As if Dontnod cares about plot or canon after the bullshit that was EP5.

As long as Deck9 makes a compelling story with great characters and doesn't directly conflict with S1, it's canon in my book

One way or another, there's definitely some "stabbing" going on

He does care about her, along with all the students at Blackwell.

It could depend on whether they are developing LIS2 to be in the same universe as LIS1 or not.

I imagine they would care if LIS2 has even a slightest, smallest connection to LIS1.

90% of cosplayers should just be Alyssa

>so you harass them and hit them
That's not caring, he just wanted to be a tough soldier and was compensating for not being good at that.

>So what we did was create a version of the game where you can actually choose all the tracks, you've got all the tracks there. You can repeat one over and over again or you can mix them up in any order, and then it's Chloe sort of laying back on her bed listening to the tracks. So it's like a moment of calm, a zen moment you can control yourself.

>What we ended up doing was sharing the first episode of the script with Ashly. We knew that she wasn't going to be able to join as an actor, so we sent it to her, we said this is what we're working on, what do you think? And she saw our passion, she saw the story, and she got really passionate about it and she decided to provide her feedback. She asked to join as a story consultant. She's a fantastic writer, she works on Adventure Time and other materials so, yeah. Every single line of dialogue from high level story concept to any little VO line we've shared with Ashly. We talk with her frequently, we've had her out to the studio in Colorado. She's really become a huge voice toward shaping Chloe at this particular time in her life.

>Square cares so much about the franchise, about every character in the universe, but they wanted us to take the reins and run with the story. And it's a constant dialogue with them, around what we want to do with Frank, what we want to do with David, what we want to do with Joyce. And that's one of the best things about the partnership with Square, for us as developers, is how much they care and how precious they are with Life is Strange. But at the end of the day they really encouraged us to find the version of Before the Storm that we were most passionate about as developers.

>From high-level conception through full execution all the way into the production of the game, this has been entirely Deck Nine.

>But she definitely wasn't into Warren and if Warren's in this I'm going to have words... Garris: (laughs)

I honestly can't wait for the Victoria catfights

I'm sorry that was your introduction to David, I hope you get to know him on your terms, not Chloe's. He's a good man, he just...

I'm more hyped now

Does anyone know the song that plays at the end of the gameplay footage when Chloe is talking to Rachel before she leaves???

Do you guys think we can find the devs by steam?

They really took some breaks entirely when e3 was happening.

Sounds good and all, but always take what the creators say with a fair pinch of salt. Of course they are going to say Square's really careful and passionate about the franchise, because the concern a lot of people are justifiedly having right now is that, between the TV show and this prequel plus "Play One Last Time As Max!" extra, they aren't honoring the integrity and vision of the original work and ship the IP out to wherever the money could be.

But I also don't think he'd outright lie, and so if it really was Ashly who asked to be part of the project, that does make me more optimistic. I had pretty much arrived at the assumption that they had paid her for her name and face on the product, but if it really was the passion for the story and the character that drew her in and communicating with the writers frequently, that inspires confidence in the story and Ashly. I only hope she has actually played or at least seen the original by now.

He wanted the right outcomes. But its a high school, not the army or a war zone.

Chloe was a miserable self-destructive bitch. Arcadia Bay will live long and prosper with her no longer terrorizing the entire town.

"Garris: Yeah. I had a chance in May to bring a slightly older version of our first episode to Paris to share with Luc [Baghadoust, Life is Strange's producer] and Raoul and Michel [the original game's co-directors] and [writer] Christian Divine, and we played through four hours - put the controller in their hands and had them play through - and watched them laugh and tense up and it was awesome, hearing their feedback and getting their support. But they didn't notice that it was Rihanna [DeVries], the actress that we got to play Chloe. They didn't even notice, they were totally immersed in her voice. She's done a fantastic job."

They didn't notice that it wasn't Ashly voicing Chloe? Who is gonna believe that?

I mean, these are the same people who fought the Bay Ending makes sense. They aren't the sharpest tools in the shed.
