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. >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 >So, once again we got the fact that our ending always will be BAE>Bay
>There's a Wells confrontation at the beginning of the episode, Chloe either gets expelled from Blackwell and Rachel gets suspended from the play. >Chloe visits the junkyard, finds her infamous truck and tries to repair it. She falls asleep and later gets woken up by Rachel. They seem to decorate their lil junkyard shack with stuff they each brought. Then talk about stuff. Then Rachel goes back to Blackwell >Chloe somehow bumps into Frank and Rachel's dad lover >A confrontation with Eliot takes place somewhere between the Junkyard and the Play parts >Also Chloe and Steph bond over their shared lesbianism >Chloe somehow ends up as an actor in The Tempest >Also note that it's possible for Rachel to be suspended from the play.Just as it's possible for Chloe to get expelledsuspended >They possibly go to Rachel's house after the play where we get to know Rachel's parents >There's a kiss somewhere in between the second part of the episode >There should be a part when they drive off to have an adventure as indicated by the promo art and earlier leaks but so far it's hard to deduce when will that take place
>Future conversation between Chloe and Rachel Pic related. Rachel's suspended from play Rachel:Shit.It's play time.Gotta go clean my dressing room for Victoria.Not exactly the role I thought I'd be playing tonight.Oh well. So... they won't go Frank together,Chloe will go there alone and also encouter with Rachel's daddy's hooker during this time.She will gather stuff for her truck (and confrontation with Damon will happen at this moment) after she saved her ass, she will get message from Steph and will go to the play.

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?

>You've also forgotten that they've fucked up David and Joyce's marriage date (they should've married Chloe's 16th birthday date) Wtf. Then Chloe will be dyeing her hair and David and Joyce will decide to get married at the end of BtS since they wanted to include tragedy,this is why they changed it. But to Dontnod's timeline it already should've happened.
Is this prequel right?
Joshua Martin
Different developers. BtS is not canon.

Josiah Cox
Yeah, this is why I was saying don't reply that faggot. I've already filtered so all good now. Just ignore.
By the way, I agree. The thing is though, they don't want to accept that they've fucked up. I mean, how many hidden documents can cover up those mistakes?
Samuel Gutierrez
When you finish Episode 1 of BtS and watch the credits it says at the end
>Based on the world and characters created for Dontnod Entertainment's Life Is Strange
or something like that so you know. Sounds more like a loose adaptation.
Brandon Perry
>Maxtacion what is wrong with you
Jaxon Lopez
No deny, there were many inconsistencies in-game. With prequel I've expected that they'd at least fix those inconsistencies dontnod have made, but they more fucked the shit up. Even dontnod gave exact details (for example photo changing stuff->Chloe's blue hair,David and Joyce,the reason why Victoria went to blackwell) this new team also fucked them up
Camden Reed
Season 1 was already filled with plenty of plotholes and inconsistencies. I don't understand why people are complaining about some prequel (which isn't even made by the original devs) suffering from the same issues.
Brody Perry
What is that screenshot supposed to symbolize?
Because this prequel has everything it needs to get things right. It's not like LiS content is guarded by all the secret agencies in the world.
Adam Lewis
>What is that screenshot supposed to symbolize? That you are samefagging
Because this is prequel. They didn't matter in S1 because you didn't know the original events. But in prequel, everything have to be consistent with first story.
Jason Perry
Lovely. I want them to continue their story in Season 2. IT IS NOT OVER!
Colton Collins
Some people really love the game and just want it to be better, and some people just like to complain about stuff and shit.
Hudson Torres
inconsistencies in some stuff in S1 weren't big deal even if they obviously messed it up either. but if you are making ''prequel'' you have to be loyal to original (first) game's story, since user mentioned Victoria's existence in blackwell and her dialogues from first game, now I got worried too.
Gabriel Morales
what were the inconsistencies of S1 aside of the ages of characters and the fact no one could explain how Blackwell works?
Dominic Gutierrez
it's absolutely over
Justin Bell
>shitposter is now defending Decknine because of his ship like shitpottery
Christopher Reyes
>you Oh, it's the call-random-people-samefags o'clock, I forgot.
I wouldn't worry too much. There's nothing major that they can really fuck up, if they're going to stay true to their word and avoid going into the whole mess with Rachel, Frank, Nathan and Jefferson. It still sucks that they can't get their shit right, but at least it's mostly minor details. Still wish they'd own up for it, though.
Angel Allen
>tfw you don't give a fuck about frenchcuck's game or BtS beng consistent with it
Grayson Johnson
There were many (david's harassing kate pic, the other pics they've put to the game,details they've put in-game etc etc) but here's one of example.
>Episode 1: you are finding this car estimate paper on Monday,October 7 >however it was signed and dated October 17th 2013
Also you can explain how Blackwell works. But since they weren't consistent with whatever was happenning, things are kinda messed up.
Ethan Allen
>call-random No, it's just you. At least don't lie about it, since I can even see your IPs.
>I wouldn't worry too much.

We will see about it. But just so you know, they are already started to be inconsistent with first game. And rather than fixing it, they are fucking up more.
Tyler Sanchez
yes obviously Blackwell works like a normal high school. Except Max claims it's a "senior only" school in her journal once.

Yeah I bet you cried like a bitch when you picked Bay because who cares about consistency or logic, right?

>And rather than fixing it, they are fucking up more. We don't know if they're "fucking up more", the second episode isn't out yet. If they continue to fuck thing up there even further, then yes, that would be "fucking up more". As it is, they've fucked up things in episode 1 and now we're waiting to see what's going to happen next. The biggest concern right now is them refusing to come out and say "yeah, we fucked up, sorry, we'll try to do better next time". Which is to be expected, I guess, since they seem to be friendly with Dontnod "Just use your imagination :)" Entertainment, who also didn't respond to people pointing out the utter retardation in their game finale. >inb4 why are you defending them
Jaxson Wright
It was obviously not a senior only school in S1 either because multiple characters like Nathan, Victoria, Justin etc has been attending it the year before (at least)
Aiden Reed
So... admit it, they've obviously fucked up. But as always community manager is making damage control. None of those hidden documents can recover this mess.
>We don't know if they're "fucking up more", the second episode isn't out yet. If they continue to fuck thing up there even further, then yes, that would be "fucking up more".

Which is to be expected, I guess, since they seem to be friendly with Dontnod "Just use your imagination :)" Entertainment, who also didn't respond to people pointing out the utter retardation in their game finale. Episode 1 showed me everything I've really seen enough. There's NO way that they could accept that there are some faults in plot which are inconsistent with first game. Whenever you say, community manager goes ''hrr drr incorrect:)'' damage control mode. At least, Dontnod has learnt from their mistakes and they are not talking anymore. Hopefully they will also fix all of faults they did in S2.
Carson Powell
read your post before you send them. only talking through your ass and you have no idea wtf are you talking about.
Luke Foster
>Bay ending isnt a seperate game No, just a quintessence of all the inconsistencies, illogicalities and flaws in the game's writting. Wish it was a separate game tho, so i wouldn't have a displeasure to witness such a beautiful game end (even optionally) in such a retarded way
Gabriel Myers
Yeah but, ''Senior only'' is what has been said in first game right? -if writer wasn't drunk while writing this- since this had mentioned in first game, then in prequel they should've followed this rule rather than changing it and acting like it never happened.
Grayson Williams
>So... admit it, they've obviously fucked up Who cares besides Toby the facePalm? I sure as shit don't, and hope none of you do either
Levi Foster
>Hopefully they will also fix all of faults they did in S2. Well, they can't really fix it, seeing as S2 isn't going to continue S1's story. Maybe they'll do better, though. Maybe they'll realize that this "thanks for crying, guize :)" bullshit isn't good for the story.
On a side note. I was going through Max's diary to check if "senior only" was mentioned and stumbled upon this. I think some anons were talking about how Max having tattoos and what not would require her to go through some changes in her personality. Seems like she doesn't mind the idea, though.
Point out your problem with my post and I'll address it.
Jacob Scott

It's not like the Bae ending is much better. >b-but I like it more because Chloe Oh fuck off. By saying that one ending is better than the other, you're validating their decision to put these retarded endings in in the first place.

>I think some anons were talking about how Max having tattoos and what not would require her to go through some changes in her personality. Seems like she doesn't mind the idea, though. Y'know, now that you've mentioned in some cut audios, one of Chloe's nightmare dialogues were ''I bet she'd never get a tattoo/ink with me'' while she was complimenting to Victoria calling her hot etc. This explains why she fell for Chloe,loved her tattooes.

to be honest EP4 stood out more as far as shitty writing goes to me >hurr durr you can't kill Frank, take his notebook and rewind.

Not an answer. I'm not personally responsible for everything that other anons say or do.
Joshua Clark
I wouldn't bother myself to reply his shitty bait user.
Everything went wrong at the mid of Episode 4-Ep5 (completely)
Lucas Stewart
No, they shouldn't because the first season also didnt follow this "rule" because there were clearly people studying at Blackwell for multiple years. If anything the supplementary material like the journal and documents should be corrected or ignored.
Luis Johnson
the hell are you talking about now?
>other anons it's just an one person and it's you tho
Oliver Hill
>they shouldn't Dude, you are a fucking shit-eater of Decknine now. They fucking should follow what's canon even there are inconsistencies in first game. If anything, prequel expected to be ''fix'' those inconsistencies, not change them unreasonably.
I guess you love them just because they gave you amberprice right? Keep continue eat their shit then
Xavier Hernandez
>If anything the supplementary material like the journal and documents should be corrected or ignored. the hell? we are talking about prequel right? okay let's screw all of them. how will you explain Victoria's certain dialogues in first game? those weren't from journal, just as chloe's hair color and joyce and david issue. William's death date, max and chloe's having a little contact while in canon they haven't...
Landon Ross
>If anything, prequel expected to be ''fix'' those inconsistencies, not change them unreasonably. Not the one you're responding to, but it's impossible for them to fix the Blackwell inconsistency when the original game itself goes against the "senior only" rule. If D9 enforce it, they would be inconsistent with S1 because S1 mentions non-seniors studying at Blackwell. If they don't enforce it, they would be inconsistent with S1 because S1 mentions the "senior only" thing. There's no winning in this situation. Easier to ignore a one-off mention of Blackwell being senior only and move on.
This does not excuse them getting other things wrong like Chloe's family situation or William's death date, but in Blackwell's particular situation there is no other way around it.
>I guess you love them just because they gave you amberprice right? Are we really at the point where this is considered an actual argument?
Andrew Cook
I don't want to be mean but are you literally retarded? The "canon" was that Blackwell was never a senior only school, because multiple people have been on the, at the very least, second year by the time Max enrolled into Blackwell. In season one itself it's established that Victoria, Nathan, Trevor, Justin etc have been already attending Blackwell the year before. Therefore, the school can not be "for seniors only". Max's journal is the only place that ever mentions it but the actual reality of the school from the information you gather in S1 itself, contradicts it I'm literally explaining it to you for the third time. Use your fucking brain for once instead of sperging out.
Jonathan Bailey
>you can't kill Frank, take his notebook and rewind. You have to go through the shitty ass puzzle Neither Max nor Chloe are okay with killing people, even if Max can rewind it.
>Chloe murders Frank and forgets Max can rewind time, if you decide to leave she just goes along with it That can be explained by Max having a relatively short window of opportunity to use it, because her rewind only goes back, what, thirty seconds or so? She'd need not only to rewind the murder itself (which was probably shocking enough to make her pause for a few moments), but also the escalation of the conflict and whatever actually caused the conflict in the first place. Otherwise she'd just be rewinding to Frank already being angry and on the verge of snapping.
Caleb Jenkins
> The thing is they are messed up Blackwell senior thing even more because of fanservices. They've thought that people probably wanted to see old characters such as Nathan and Victoria etc. and since they can't re-create every students of blackwell, they chose this way.
Okay let's forget Blackwell thing I don't really give a shit about it desu and that's the least thing I can concern about. Then how do they explain characters' not recognizing each other in first game while they were side-by-side in prequel? Or how do they explain one of character's existence in there? They should've considered them, at least before putting those characters there and make it consistent.
Dominic Butler
>I guess you love them just because they gave you amberprice right? Right.
Jason Mitchell
Not only you are gathering that info Max's journal. Actually you're gathering those info(s) from school files either. Ironically they also fucked up Rachel's school file and fixed it after the update.
Ayden Diaz
>Then how do they explain characters' not recognizing each other in first game while they were side-by-side in prequel? They don't. Some side characters not recognizing her can be attributed to her being absent a lot and later changing her appearance, but it doesn't explain why people like Justin don't immediately recognize her. This is absolutely D9's failure.
Same with Victoria and her motivation. They could pull the "Jefferson publicly said he was going to teach at Blackwell and Victoria enrolled in advance", but that's reaching.
Kayden Williams
As long as it isn't pricefield, you're happy right?
Aiden King
...
Jack Russell
>Neither Max nor Chloe are okay with killing people, even if Max can rewind it. facepalm, that wasn't even what I was talking about. I was talking how the way the game set its rules is that if you take something and then rewind the item stays on Max. But conveniently that rule doesn't work in this situation with Frank. It also doesn't work in Ep1 with the Kate/David choice come to think of it. So yeah shitty ass writing.
>That can be explained by Max having a relatively short window of opportunity to use it, because her rewind only goes back, what, thirty seconds or so? She'd need not only to rewind the murder itself (which was probably shocking enough to make her pause for a few moments), but also the escalation of the conflict and whatever actually caused the conflict in the first place. But what are you talking about. If Chloe murders him Max rewinds the entire conversation. It doesn't matter how long it is or how long she waits.
Ryan Cooper
>Victoria: I've attended Blackwell for Mark Jefferson (in prequel jeffershit wasn't exist) > Blackwell works like however they want to be without giving any exact evidence;sometimes like high school, sometimes.. like senior only
