>It's another thread full of Amberfags writing fanfics desperately trying to justify their ''''canon''''

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.
>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

It's actually super cute

Checks out

Thanks to codeleak anons they are gettig closer to reach files. These are the only info(s)&leaks about script I could gathered;

Rachel will be the influence that Chloe dyes her hair to the blue. They will do it when Rachel visited Chloe's home/room, it is gonna be epic

Cringy guy's confrontation will most likely happen at junkyard or blackwell while hanging with Rachel. Remember depending your choices you could led him on (like saying no ;at start and intending to go play or not in ep2) then ditching him and forgot all about it. in ep1 you also could simply say maybe to his invitation and reply his hanging out after tempest with uncertain things responses or with maybe, or lie; you are gonna ditch the show or with truth ;that you will hang out with Rachel etc. Choices are there because these will also trigger his anger and change some dialogues


That ep3 teaser, latter scene, which was involved with Rachel's having trouble and Damon's threatening her (also about Drew and Mikey situation) after phone conversation;Chloe's concern about it. Earlier confrontation scene(cringy eliot) I am talking about first confrontation scene;which they may be change things and it may happen in blackwell either. But it will happen just right the time when Rachel and Chloe together.


Advice scene with Steph (and cute jealousy moment) is really coming this time btw

...

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

Cutest girl in Arcadia Bay

That's a strange picture of Max you got there.

That's for damn sure

It's hard to imagine any fanfic being worse than ep 5

Reminder

10/10 would be Rachel's slave

Most worthless girl to ever exist

...

>she didn't actually wear that mask on her face
Missed opportunity, desu.

While I absolutely find Chloe and Rachel's and Chloe and Max's relationships adorable and appreciate them, I just can't help but occasionally daydream about myself living in Arcadia Bay, attending Blackwell, and having Chloe or Max as my gf and the other as a close friend.

Mostly Chloe.
Rachel is way out of my league, even in dreams.

I feel you, Steph.

Eliot?

What version of before the storm would you recommend?

...

>picture "nothing matters"
LEL
Seriously though, when Kate was on the roof and said "But it doesn't matter now. Nothing matters." she was also secretly describing LiS ending choices, right? Basically this is the entire message behind the endings, and now people open Chloe's journal in the nightmare and are so shocked what it can mean, trying to act as if there was no reason for *THAT* to happen

I love

The gay one

But what about when she doesn't want you as a slave and abandons you and gives you crippling depression. That's what most girls do.

Daily reminder that Michyl is a terrible human being and should be ashamed of himself

Send the scene where she was prosposing

Is that you, Victoria?

"Star crossed lovers in a Shakespearan drama who found each other at the perfect time in their lives and sparked instant passion between them."

y-yes, my mistress

Chloe is such a beta.

Really though, everyone is when compared to Rachel

Michel has no power over them anymore, no one can refuse them their happiness

...

But that's all of them user.

>no one can refuse them their happiness
Are you sure about that?

not canon

Is this an /AmberPriceGeneral/ now?

Why are you fags so vocal about this?

LIS wasn't a never ending torrent of tragedy, what the fuck, LIS had a great mix of different tones.

The endings lacked proper epilogues, Prescotts' motivations and knowledge of events were never explained and the storm were never explained other than Warren's shoehorned explanation.

Those were the only big problems.

...

yes, pissfield is dead

Reminder

No, pricefield still rule

The virgin Max vs The Stacy Rachel

...

LiS ends in misery no matter what you do, what choices you made...there's no secret route where you can play the game perfectly and get a happy ending. It's like a train ride straight into Auschwitz.

...

>Implying BtS will have a happy ending
I got bad news for you user..

thanks.
i am also looking forward to script codes.

Didn't want to interrupt but uh...
Yes, it will have happy ending

...

You annoying delusional shitposting fags are really shiting up this place lately

never, they will leave when BtS is over.

The endings were horrible because of lack of proper epilogues.

An ending can be satisfying regardless of being sad or happy. It's a matter of quality, not tone. This is important. This isn't some child's coloring book story. Bad things happen, get over it.

LIS failed in the former regard, in the quality department. LIS endings weren't horrible because they were sad, it's because they lacked epilogues.

>a game used to promote a charity fighting against mental disorders like depression by promoting positive relationships between people
>bad ending

Another reason why this piece of art is a miracle of love and hope that absolutely can't have any connection to michyl's misery porn

They improved everything else that Dontnod did so why not the endings as well

>Those were the only big problems.
Teleporting Jefferson, Jefferson turning out to be a cartoony villain with childish plans and motivation, the tone of the game rapidly changing from at least somewhat positive to downright suffering with Max sitting scared in the Dark Room with Victoria drugged at her feet because you chose to warn a girl about accepting drinks from a known whacko, a nightmare sequence ending in Max getting a guilt-trip from herself, having to choose between your friend and a lot of your other friends, endings that are more open that your mom's legs after two bottles of vodka, no proper conclusion for anyone, your choices matter jack shit in the end.

I have absolutely zero problems with the first 3.5 episode of LiS, aside from technical stuff. Or, well, I have some problems, but a lot of them are just personal nitpicks. Tonally, at least, it's pretty consistent — some bad shit happens, there's is a darker story lurking under this whole teenage adventure stuff, but there's still a balance between happy and sad times. The final part got seriously fucked up from Dontnod trying to stuff both the real life actual no joking around 100% serial murder and a magical killer tornado into the same story while also aiming to score tragedy points.

>LIS endings weren't horrible because they were sad, it's because they lacked epilogues.
Problems with LiS endings start before you even get to epilogues. They start precisely at the point where you get to manually pick your ending.

>but real life is sad
Not a very good argument when it comes to vidya.

REMINDER

I still don't get it.

What did we do to deserve daddy Zak?

>the endings were to sad
not a very good argument either, and yet ...

What's with this sudden increase in "S1 was not that bad/ tragedy is actually good" memes?
We already had these discussions years ago.

>i can't into reading halp
Don't worry about it, it's treatable.

>Max as "cartman"
Have you ever watched south park?

Same with "S1 isn't canon" and "Max Fanfiction" memes.

Max is Cartman (the nasty piece of shit fat fuck from South Park) and Rachel stands between them

>memes
that's only underage samefagging retard's bullshit

These are not memes though.

>Problems with LiS endings start before you even get to epilogues. They start precisely at the point where you get to manually pick your ending.
Sure, the game has it's fair share of problems, but the topic at hand was the endings, how things end.

>>but real life is sad
>Not a very good argument when it comes to vidya.
Not my point, what I meant was that in a work of adult fiction, you can't just depict flowers and rainbows until the end. A story has to include what you'd consider tragic events.

I think you need baby wipes

I guess if people keep repeating those memes often enough they actually start believe them to be true and not memes at all.

somebody's offended

>Sure, the game has it's fair share of problems, but the topic at hand was the endings, how things end.
To add to this, manually picking endings would be fine if they added epilogues which also altered slightly based on some decisions.
I used the word "epilogue" enough for a lifetime today, I think.

>A story has to include what you'd consider tragic events.
No, a tragedy has to include tragic events. Even then, Romeo and Juliet at least ended with the reconciliation of Montague and Capulet and the end of the blood feud. Life is Strange ends with "Dead Chloe" or "Dead Town/Broken Chloe" with no silver lining.

Tragic events can be included, but they should in no way dominate what should be a high school story about the powers of love, friendship, sweetness, and all that jazz.

>R: Today was a awesome!
>R: well, some of it sucked
>C: yeah

>* four minutes later*

>R: you know what doesn't suck?
>C: what?
>R: you

I guess you need to get over yourself and understand that many people will treat bts and s1 separately regardless of what Michyl initially intended as long as there is a happy ending in bts.

Max indeed most bitchy character after treating Chloe like that.

Screenshoot please.

rationalize it however you wish, sweetie

>muh happy endings
>why can't everyone live happily ever after omg worst game ever

It's in Chloe's text message history ps4fag here so sorry but too much work

>Happy ending in BtS means S1 isn't canon
I don't get the connection to be honest, BtS takes place 3 years before the events of S1 and only cover the first 3 days of Chloe and Rachel relationship, a happy ending doesn't justify anything.

>but the topic at hand was the endings, how things end.
Yes, and how these endings occur is also a part of this topic, no?

>you can't just depict flowers and rainbows until the end
Guilt, depression, suicide, anger issues, abandonment issues, family issues, anxiety, loss of a parent, murder of a friend, murderer on the loose, numerous rewindable deaths. LiS was never flowers and rainbows, but it wasn't torture porn, either. I appreciate them trying to show that seemingly harmless choices can lead to bad consequences, but it's one thing to overwater a flower and another to warn a girl about a mentally unstable guy at a party and unknowingly lead her into the arms of a serial killer. And then watch her wake up drugged, scared and confused. Really drives the point home, you know.

>To add to this, manually picking endings would be fine if they added epilogues which also altered slightly based on some decisions.
I can't agree. I understand your point, really. Epliogues are a great thing. But I strongly dislike this trend of just giving you the option to pick an ending in story-driven games. I'm fine with major final decisions in, say, FPS campaigns, like "kill that guy/don't kill that guy", but in my opinion, in RPGs, walking simulators and such that claim that "choices matter", endings should take into account all your important choices throughout the game. Can't think of any good example right now, sleepless night are killing me, but as far as I remember, Dragon Age: Origins does just that. There still is a "kill that demon/don't kill that demon" decision, but what happens next is determined by your earlier decisions.

Hnnnng.

The ending for LiS was retarded and not just because of the dumb, forced tragedy

yea, it's sort of ruining the experience of BtS a little bit. Too much shitposting, not enough discussion. Oh well, the /v/ tourists will be gone eventually and we can go back to comfy.

Now I got the reason why Rachel's family didn't do anything/didn't give a shit while she has been missing for 6 months. Because she was adopted and his so-called dad (whom was labeled as "liar" in game's first wallpapers) didn't care about her that much. Her step-mom even if she seemed good hearted she was also a passive character who is a cuck.

Rachel's real mom however, in some mysterical shit.. but she also doesn't seem like good hearted person but we will see

>tfw Chloe was literally the only one person who made effort to find her and really loved her

Can we all agree that at least the Sacrifice Chloe ending less shitty of the two?

>I guess you need to get over yourself and understand that many people will treat bts and s1 separately regardless of what Michyl initially intended as long as there is a happy ending in bts.
i wish you tumblrfags would just stay in your shithole and sing about le happy ending with frienship love and rainbow there.

You can't seriously say that after last episode, like c'mon bro
