Max is #1

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

Wonderful experience that was and well deserving of those trips. Nevar 4get.

True.

...

Reminder that Max is a good person and she did nothing wrong.

I haven't been to the thread in about a month, anything extremely interesting leak recently as far as gameplay or story goes?

Nah.

...

Just some more gameplay videos and info about the prequel's soundtrack.

the fuck are you still doing here spammercuck

STOP

AWWWW

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"

>eat Lisa

They stop just outside of Seattle to stretch their legs, get some fresh air, and see the view.

That's enough Warren! Put her down and unshrink them this minute. Don't make me use force.

How many of you here pre-ordered BtS?

HA!

check the strawpoll links in op

Guys some people,still arguing about prequel saying Rachel and Chloe's relationship is player depenant. And I'm blaming that fucking community manager Toby of course.

Doesn't it sound so stupid and why people acting like their choices altering the entire shape of story?

I hate this Toby guy.
He talks like if he was part of the development team or something but he's nothing more than just a shitty community manager.

Let them find out for themselves and then if they still insist on seeing something that's clearly not in the game, then treat them like the other delusional groupies.
Rachel and Chloe will have some romantic development, but it never becomes a real relationship. Also the prequel is supposed to be the start of their friendship so I doubt you will even see Chloe fully realize what her feelings for Rachel are, unless there's some form of timeskip.
I don't think it was a wise idea to say there would be multiple endings and choices but it was a selling point of the first game so they couldn't resist using it again.
People need to realize that the game is in the past and we already now the future outcomes.

i'm not expecting too much from this fandom anymore. i'm losing my hope each day

they creating gay panic by themselves,however,in-game there were obvious telltale signs that characters in love with each other and it was slowly growing you don't even read journal to see but if you dumb enough to see obvious hints then journal is there for you to interpret things from Max's pov. and literally 0 interactions after can be count as gal pal actions, because blue haired girl was harboring crush on Max and Max was having crazy week and realizing what was she feeling. didn't developer put this nightmare thing into this game and made Max question her feeling by bringing up love word no matter if you got kiss or not? yes they did.

for Rachel and Chloe's relationship, ambiguous thing was if Rachel responded those feelings.. but solid thing was Chloe had crushed on Rachel. what does that mean? you can't change Chloe's feelings towards Rachel, or you can't stop running after Rachel because that'd make everything happened in LiS meaningless. and that was pretty much obvious

for me, it was one of the opening scenes, after you get through Mr. Jefferson's lesson and you finish talking to him, max leave the class and walk into the hall and plug in her headphones, and the voices around her fades. at this moment the music played and I began to explore the atmosphere I knew this game was going to be amazing and that's what made me fell in love with it.

During their interviews with Poor Man's Michel for example, he literally didn't let him speak and this faggot listened some community manager like as if he created this game throughout in whole conversation.

who would win in a fight

I've lost hope too. I know some people are going forget all about Max and what she did for Chloe, and talk trash about her.
Saying "Chloe loves Rachel" , while forgetting that Rachel wasn't into Chloe, and then justifying the Bay Ending because "Then they get to be together" (Pretty much Jefferson's mocking words to Max in the Dark Room after he killed Chloe). Or because if they ship Chloe and Rachel, then that leaves Max for Warren or someone else.
I don't have a problem with crackshipping, but I have a problem when it's defended as if it's something more. When the feelings of the characters themselves are disregarded because the player wants to project their own desires onto them. It taints discussions about the game.

At least I know /lisg/ will always remain faithful and attentive. It has for over two years and as long as the core of rationality remains then things will be fine.

>Rachel and Chloe's relationship is player depenant
>Multiple endings depending choices on you make
yeah yeah always same lies.

Only this lead-writer Garriss talked reasonably (while explaining that choice.. with Rachel) he said it was kind of choice like what does she voice Rachel? so her feelings not changing, not so player depenant. remember from first game, when you are avoiding from some action and Max was stating her regret,her wish to do it again in her journal and interpreation results as indepenant from player's action eventually. so same thing will happen with Chloe too,in her letters we are going to find out.

Oh that community manager Toby? I wouldn't take him seriously if I were you. All he does is trying to marketing this game to those triggered fb cucks.

Posting best dog.

Why do people believe that Max is some RPG/blank-slate/shaped by player's choice character? If that's the case then why everybody arrives at the same destination? I seriously depise people who use the term ''my Max'' or ''in my playthrough''
We barely had influence on Max's character (if any) in S1 and now they're saying the player can shape the relationship of Chloe and Rachel? Ah, give me a break...

the biggest problem here is people don't know what's going on or they don't want to see... i don't know.

and also i still don't get this ''heeaa!! player is Max so she is technically me and she does whatever i want to do'' okay you can control her actions what does she act at that moment but does she also think the way you think? your feelings are exact same feelings? doesn't she add her own feelings,interpreation afterwards? so how come Max can be blank-slate character at this point?

...

They see this game as Skyrim,Mass Effect.. while literally in everyone's playthroughs even though the path we're going can be little change we meet up at the same consclucion.

they got this ''choices matter'' thing so wrong...

...

>greentexting on facebook

What's wrong with these people?

I know we talk shit about Reddit but their ratio for bay vs bae isn't so bad it's around 30(bay):70(bae). 9gag is the real cancer. ~90% Bay.

that screenshot is from a cancerous group on facebook called ">implying we can discuss video games"
most of those comments are from people who didn't even play the game and the others finished the game in 2 days and then removed it

>Ethan Burke
this kid pretty much represents warryncucks

it makes me laugh whenever I see those cowards who can't even do shit irl, defending saving some town over by letting Max's ''loved'' one die,ignoring her feelings whatever she said in entire game,describing it as as greater good choice cold-bloodedly...

but irl their so-called heroic action would crumble into ashes if that person actually their loved ones. yeah their heroic action is letting someonelse's love one die, not their loved ones actually. this is what so-called morally right choice to them..

>MUH BAE OVAH BAY

EPISODE 5.

DOES.

NOT.

EXIST.

...

OPEN YOUR GODDAMN EYES

IT BECAME FUCKING PERSONAL

YOU OUGHT TO BE WITH US

Go back to your cell Jeffershit.

>they thought they could change Max's feelings and seperate her from the love her life
>tfw none of those normies aware of that they will be get cuck'd so fucking hard

oh it's you again, caps user
i'm having difficulty to understand your vision about the game entirely, you keep saying ep5 doesn't exist but why do you always limit the game to that final one only, please open up

Well personally, I was on both endings are shit side however still ended the game with bae because everyone here knew it from leaks and decided to it would be the most logical consclucion.

But lately, after seeing those baycucks' interpreations their cold-blooded attitude for Max and Chloe, I decided to side with people who paid attention to the game without making retarded interpreations,crackships.

MAX AND CHLOE TOOK PHOTOS OF THE DARK ROOM, SNATCHED THE FOLDERS, AND TOOK THEM TO THE POLICE.

JEFFERSON WAS ARRESTED, NO STORM TOOK PLACE, THE DUO WENT ON THEIR ROAD TRIP, AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE.

THE END.

THERE WAS NO SCENE WHERE MAX AND CHLOE IDIOTICALLY WALKED INTO THE WORLD'S MOST OBVIOUS TRAP. THERE WAS NO GUILTTRIPPING DREAM SEQUENCE. THERE WAS NO CLIFFSIDE BINARY CHOICE.

IT NEVER HAPPENED.

EVERY FOOL WITH THE WORDS "BAE>BAY" ON THEIR LIPS VALIDATES THOSE PREPOSTEROUS IDEAS AND THEY SHOULD BE BURIED WITH AN EFFIGY OF A MICHEL STAKED THROUGH THEIR HEART.

This was the biggest clue in entire game.

This also metaphorically can be seen as her certainity for being with Chloe/her not want to lose her again and leave the biggest chance.

be a good guy,if you want to flip off those devs,toby and whatever do against whatever baycucks do before we destroy your fucking caps lock.

I love this guy

>Years later
>Max is a big photographer
>At an exhibit with her wife
>Some people asking her and Chloe questions
>A girl who is around 18 asks Max what photo that she's taken means the most to her?
>Max takes out the binder she brings to these events
>Opens to a page and shows the girl
>It's a Polaroid photo of a butterfly perched on the rim of a bucket, the photo is torn in half
>The girl who asked the question of why that one?
>Max just smiles and takes Chloe's hand before saying it's a long story
>The girl asks a few more questions, gets Max's autograph, and a photo with her and Chloe

>Guys some people,still arguing about prequel saying Rachel and Chloe's relationship is player depenant.

Now, people trying to tell same lie for their relationship too? especially in a game which's meant to be a prequel and everything well established in first LiS game.

I don't understand this ambiguity argument because what the hell dude? I guess this game proved well that people knows zero shit about hetero/gal pal girls' relationship.Since when a girl would say something like her 'friend' saved her from rebellious phase about boys and admits she crushed on her? Since when do gal pal girl get jealous over other's being with someonelse and becomes broken as fuck? Since when do gal pal girls' ex- [ditched] boyfriend tells something like he got jealous of those girls' relationship and he also tells one of them was trying to get her ''gal pal'' away from him ? Am I blind or they are blind? Where's the ambiguity in it? Message is pretty much clear in here I mean. Feelings may be unrequited at some point but don't tell me that this is purely friendship.

They are doing same thing for Max and Chloe's relationship too. Friendship is there but you can't deny the fact that romance is also there indepenant of our actions and developed very well. There is literally no ambiguity if you pay a little more attention and you're seeing those are *there*.

plebs who don't want to explain anything or not seeing things they don't want to see, hiding behind those words like ''hm ambiguity, hm everyone has different interpreation so...''

when you think of LiS what's the first song that comes to mind?

Max and Chloe

>[Chloe lightly snoring and Max mumbling about the nice dream she is having]

>they've also made a song for them which heavily has romantic/passion vibes
I have to remind you that this was playing in every second of the game. credits, pool scene,the first scene where they reunited for the first time.. damn

again, the Farwell episode will take place long before the events of LiS and BtS when max and chloe were young and together so technically, they already left

...

>23 warryncucks disliked it
knew it


>tfw we'll see the scene where they sitting in front of the cardboard which they drawn in there their future

i wonder if this will happen in the episode

>their_future.png
guys you fucked me up right now.

if we see this scene, we are gonna cry like a bitch y'know?

Is it still sad if it comes true?
Why do you have only one crying reaction image?

'cuz it defines my situation pretty well

true, but that doesn't mean chloe didn't suffer in the past, and we will see a part of that in BtS
