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

MY Chloe actually came to the conclusion that Eliot was the love of her life after the ending.

Cutest couple in Arcadia Bay

I want to play a cozy sequence as Kate where you cheer up her sisters after they've had a rough day.

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"
Anons pls, MY Chloe has a crush on Warren the moment she laid eyes on him, her heart beat faster everytime his eyes lander on her.
Luke Reed
Zak screwed up. Amberprice relationship in ep 1 & 2 definitely isn't canon with S1. The toned down relationship in ep 3 seems much more 'canon', but it was way too late to fix the inconsistency between the two games.
Anthony Long
HA HA what a loser
Ryan Evans
Cutest couple that deserves everything good in this world and absolutely nothing that it actually got

>''Chloe's lesbian yeah [chickenin out intensifies] but for other people this may change because interpretation. Your Chloe may love David, your Chloe may not run after Rachel over 3 years AHHH OF COURSE! You can also interpret BtS is an AU, I have no permission to invalidate your interpretation. ''
Wyatt Smith
I want an "scorned Rachel" mini-series. She'd wreck shit up, especially if she learned how to control her powers. A badass-superhero(villian?) Rachel game with sidekick Chloe would be sick.
Daniel Jackson
>my Chloe >yet everyones Chloe has basically the exact same ending Oh wow! Your Chloe dyed her hair blue and her best friend/lover Rachel ended up dying despite your best efforts to change the timeline. That happened with MY Chloe too!
I think i've had enough of the "choices matter in the game" meme. t b h.
Levi Watson
I have a request for Leaker user . So the episode turned out very different from your leaks . They obviously cut a lot of stuff out apparent from your leaks, various interviews and the pacing and structure of the episode itself . Can you at least summarize the plot with details now that the episode is out ? How different the final product is from the beta story , What was added and removed , How the episode was going to play out , How the characters (especially Sera and Damon) were supposed to be etc. That way , we at least have a alternative better version of the story that's not headcanon or fanfiction .
Jeremiah Walker

Juan Jackson
not him but here is compilation
David Reed
I wonder what Zak feels about having to can the actual Episode 3 and replace it with this frankenstein's monster. And being told to lie how Chloe is "probably gay" now and it's all ambiguous. After months of playing a completely different tune. I wanna know who is responsible for all of this.
Lincoln Perry
Himself. He probably replayed LiS last minute. Maybe he played LiS mobile.
James Flores
Not differently turned out desu locations,some events,and endings about characters were literally same. Leakers had more reasonable details while deck9 didn't point out those details that much or cut many major stuff. If they didn't change Sera's (escape) ending for example, this chapter would be a masterpiece as leakers said.
Ayden Lopez

Alexander Lopez

Kevin Nguyen

Daniel Allen
Then who's S1 Chloe? This girl had crushed on Rachel and literally said ''Rachel came along to rescue her from her past experience'' , in BtS it's not like even you don't admit your feelings to Rachel, she still having crush on her and it's growing over those 3 years. I mean why they are telling certain thing but then chickening out and pulling interpretation card immediately. If she is lesbian, then tell us she is lesbian. Max's powers for example open to interpretation but sexuality isn't because it's obvious from character's feelings.
And I strictly remember, this guy (Zak) was saying in his interviews that: ''We are not changing Chloe's sexuality with our options, she is pre-defined character'' etc. What changed now? Why he chickened out in twitter and went full retard?
This is AU bullshit all over again. ''Yeah she is lesbian but eh, I won't also invalidate other people's headcanons'' wtf
Ryan Howard
After BtS finale I think I like Michel now.
Daniel Lopez
The fact that the game lets you make major choices and yet insists all the roads lead to the same outcome is actually contradictive with the entire message of LiS of how small changes can have enormous results on people's lives. Max becomes two entirely different people based on one event in her life. Rachel though, can experience something that changes her entire worldview which would make her into an entirely different person who thinks and acts differently, yet apparently it all ends up the same.
Not even taking into account all the details how the transition from BtS to S1 doesn't make sense based on what BtS shows.
Christopher Howard
i'm confused now. he is totally agreeing with the person who is saying ''chloe's gay'' even he admits himself that ''chloe's gay''
but on the other hand he also added ''different perspectives on her sexuality can be valid (even if this never shown in-game and refuted with dialogues)'' so people can even interpret chloe's a trans and that's valid? eat my shit zak
Easton Murphy
Help, help please! The story of LiS has started to blur for me!
1. > Rachel was not killed out of malice. She was killed due to Nathan overdosing her, correct?
2. > When Max sacrafices Chloe and we see the funeral scene, is the dissapearance of Rachel solved or still a mystery at that point? I do not remember if during the 'flashbacks with photos' which burn and fade if we see Jefferson getting arrested.
Carter Brooks
Yeah user. My Chloe is straight. And still sleeping with guys till this day and is in a relationship with a famous band memeber because ambuity right?
Jonathan Hernandez
> Rachel was not killed out of malice. She was killed due to Nathan overdosing her, correct? Exactly. >I do not remember if during the 'flashbacks with photos' which burn and fade if we see Jefferson getting arrested. We do.
Jackson Harris
Chloe will always have a crush on Rachel eventually, I guess. But Rachel seems to be the one having the biggest crush on Chloe in Ep 1 and 2. Either way, their relationship told in BtS (both friendship and amberprice route) is not at all what was described to us in S1.
James Clark
Community manager is so stubborn about characters' being blank-slate while it's not even in case. Characters have their own interpretations, feelings and no matter what story takes you wherever it wants take you to eventually.
Of course Zak's ''interpretation'' thing is bullshit - not that they even presented in-game but he is saying ''he won't stop other people who have different interpretations if they think otherwise'' (just like in AU issue) .
I find it non-sense because game gives you enough details so what kind of retards would disregard it and write their own fanfictions?
Logan Hill
druggie tranny here

Aaron Wright
My Chloe is a CEO making 6 figures, and is a pole-dancer on the weekends.
Camden Nelson
My Chloe is going to kill Zak right now. Should we join her?
user, the thing is... Zak even said it himself in interview that we can't change Chloe since she is pre-defined.
Choices in BtS works in this way: ''No matter what Chloe harbors feelings for Rachel and the difference in decisions you make just decides whether or not Rachel feels open enough to reciprocate those feelings'' you can make it slow-burn, or you may not admit your feelings at all. But during those 3 years, Chloe's crush will grow anyway.
The way he talks in twitter... okay he admitted that Chloe's gay and loves Rachel. But he said ''eh but different interpretations'' Wtf. We are also talking about prequel here
Connor Green
So the mystery is solved? Am I remember it correctly> > We go to the junkyard overday and find Rachel's buried body > We go to the junkyard as night, after we discover Jefferson is responible. Max gets sedated, chloe shot.
Or is one of these scene an alternate timeline?
Owen Evans
Wait, so whos Chloe is the real Chloe?
Nathan Anderson
If you fail the talkback or "calm" hom twice, do we get a different ending where he is not thrown out of Blackwell?
Cameron Miller
How Sera supposed to be supernatural ? How was the Raven connected to her ? There are still a lot of details yet to be revealed which i hope leaker user reveals.
Julian Walker
Season 1 Chloe. Came first like development wise like LiS 1 came out 2015 wise like Michel thought of Chloe first wise
Xavier Clark
I think LiS and BtS are not canon related. In both games Chloe is who ever you want her to be.
Also in my version Rachel does not die. The Story ends before she meets Jefferson and makes out with him.
> Doesn't this make Jefferson the biggest pedo ever? In a legal sense Rachel is not underage, but the age gap is just too much!
Nolan Wood
So Zaks Chloe is the fake Chloe, right? Does Chloe love Rachel? Is she gay? I'm so confused.
Adrian Nelson
Well S1 Chloe loves Rachel. Sexuality is unknown in LiS 1, never states she's gay. Zak's Chloe is what he imagines 15/16 Chloe to be like.
Josiah Moore
Mine Chloe who fucked Nathan is the canon one.
Andrew Phillips
Man, I'm starting to wish BtS was never a thing. It ruined any enjoyment I had with these series almost completely.
Lucas Reed
Actually mine. Chloe is a stripper and currently a mom of 1 kid named William and has a dog named Bongo.
Robert Smith
>''I was thinking of Pris while I rubbed one'' >Her attraction towards Rachel - the first person she fell in love with >Porn mags in her hideout >''Girls Oh-la-la'' >Boob poster >''I'm not down with these Arcadia hillbillies'' >''Boys are fucking gross'' >Mention if she had bf ''Ah I was so glad Rachel came along to rescue me'' if I remember correctly, these are happened. we encountered with the outdated bus tickets and that stuff in her wallet after we asked her about past experiences, so it's intended to be ''it ended after Rachel came into her life''
so yeah, game never made gay panic but obviously Chloe was leaning into girls more
Jaxon Reed
I'm actually ok
But thats cause I'm trans!Chloe and I'll get to live bts for real with my Rachel
I know exactly how Chloe feels when she is with Rachel. Love is amazing on estrogen.
Ayden Jenkins
I'm enjoying it a lot more now that I'm playing it with the friends only choices. It feels much more consistent with S1 and I don't have to wonder why Rachel turns into a cheating slut.
Leo Lewis
Zak is trying to persuade Square Enix that they should publish his game and, to impress them, takes on his multi-armed form and says, >Now I am become Koch, the destroyer of dreams.
Ayden Johnson
Ignore BtS, friend. Wait for Michel's Season 2.
Zachary Martin
Is there any proof in the game files that a lot of shit was cut or are we supposed to believe what leaker user says blindly?
James Thomas
Leaker was full shit. I was smart enought not believe any of them, they were too detailed to be leaks honestly. People say dialog was cut yea so did the first game. Leaker was probably lauging as he was typing out "fake" spoilers.
Cooper Williams
he gets butthurt at choal and leaves anyway
David Nelson
not yet. but lots of stuff cut, that's undeniable.
remember, also code leak user said we were gonna encounter with something very good. where is it?
Jaxon Gonzalez
...
Ethan Sanders
Deck9 should have made BtS an AU. Or just not include the Jefferson clip at the end. It would have made much more sense
Gabriel Nelson
dat look.
Aaron Torres
I failed the backtalk scene and Chloe triggered the alarm by breaking the window, with Elliot running away before the cops came. I don't think he was packing up in my ending, just sitting on his bed or something.
Samuel Hill
>Man, I'm starting to wish BtS was never a thing. It ruined any enjoyment I had with these series almost completely. This
Joseph Allen
>that's undeniable. proof?
Tyler Wright
Nah. Zak loves Michel and S1 too much to disrespect his game.
Justin Perez
This was a pretty good joke.
Evan Howard
Source? I need evidence, because as of now Leaker user was full of shit on every leak except locations and dates and you all fell for his trolling attempts
Isaiah Diaz
Alice and Dorothy are lucky bunnies.
Camden Russell
not him but the ending montage had way too much effort put into it with all the animations and lip sync
Noah Watson
Jealous Chloe...
Caleb Campbell
Source for the original leaker saying we are in for something amazing?
Eli Kelly
Before BtS Episode 3's release: >Devs: ''Intense episode is waiting for us.Be ready for it;);) There is a reason why we chose Tempest as major theme and you will find out;)'' >Don't worry, Deck9 won't disappoint us. They are better than Dontnod >I love you Zak. Thank god, finally a developer who understands us!! What did we do to deserve him guyssss >CLOUD 9!!! TELL ME WHATCHU REALLY LIKE... BE READY FOR MULTIPLE KISSESSS!! CLOUD 9 WOHOOOO >Sera is a witch. Ending is going to be awesome >We will see how Damon got killed >We will get our revenge from Skeevy guys too >We will see Skip's concert too. Rachel and Chloe will go there yeeeyy >All plot holes Dontnod left will all be answered. >Beanie Queen Steph will get hug and also we will have advice scene ;);) >They will not touch 3 years. They will keep their promises:) Unlimited happy endings are coming. 6 variations depending our choices with RACHEL HYPE CLOUD9
After BtS Episode 3's release: >Deck9's worse than Dontnod >Devs were bullshitting all along: Tempest? They forgot it. Poor Shakespeare is rolling in his grave right now >Zak went full retard >Nothing was cut:) >Girls went full nun-mode and was giving each other cheek kiss and 0.1 sec cuddle scene in bed -even with cloud 9 intimacy >Choices didn't matter >Pedo Frank >Frank pushes Damon out of screen. God knows how is he fucking died >Rachel completed whole episode in that hospital bed >Chloe was unconscious at the very intense moment >Sera magically untied herself >End choice didn't solve anything >William went full Fast and Furious flashbacks. >Even if Sera and Rachel reunite, Sera gtfos that town in one way or another >They added credits scene out of nowhere - Rachel's ded - Chloe's still suffering. Technically, they were bullshitting about not touching 3 years either
Leo Morales
Haha Amberprice btfo
Aaron Morales
Deck 9 should make a game called lis after the storm where You play as Jefferson and I’m kidding they shouldn’t touch lis ever again
Gavin Price
Haha, Deck Nine and Square Enix btfo
Aiden Murphy
Read through some of pic related in , that's where the "there is something super amazing I don't want to spoil" type leaks started coming from. They never said what it was supposed to be, and despite one or two of the other leak-anons/beta-testing-anons seemingly suggesting similar things throughout BtS' release ALL of them remained coy and suspicious (lots of "wait and see ... ;)" type comments), and none ever dropped what it was supposed to be.
I mean, at this stage, it's all moot. Unless one of them finally decides to drop the act and post what they supposedly found, I think it's safe to say they were full of shit. I mean, it might not be any big coincidence that the user in 's pic related went from "they're such fucking amateurs I can't believe how much shit they just left int he open in these game files" to "oh shit I posted the leaks publicly and now the devs want to contact me i dun fucked up" to "oh hey guys yeah so actually there is this SUPER amazing thing in BtS that I think you all really should get excited about." Cough.
Josiah Campbell
> I don't think he was packing up in my ending, just sitting on his bed or something.
are you sure? the ones I saw: if police catches him, then Principal waits for him to go. and he was packing up his stuff
or if police didn't catch him, he was packing his things up again and tearing concert photo on his table.
this also showed us that, this fucker was obsessed enough to attended Blackwell just to follow Chloe.
Dylan Baker
No matter what.
Brandon Watson
Reminder
Gavin Jackson
Now I noticed this in my playthrough, he also becomes violent if you chose '' Walk past him'' or calls you bitch if you catches while he sees the phone.
Blake Hernandez
Yeah I know, I posted that.
I don't think they were all lying. Months of leaks and things turning true for the most part suggest otherwise.
Colton Gonzalez
FRIENDLY REMINDER THAT RACHEL IS FUCKING DEAD AND THERE IS LITERALLY NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO BRING HER BACK
Brody Flores
You are such a troll.
Stop baiting. Either as Pricefield or Amberprice stop baiting for fights you cuck fuck
Kayden Scott
MY Rachel isn't dead!
Dylan Morgan
but user...
you ca't fucking do anything to bring her back can you? Rachel is dead forever.
Austin Martin
>Every time a sad Christmas song comes on now I think of Chloe and Rachel
Why couldn't this have waited until after the Holidays, at least?
Aaron Morris
EPISODE 3 IS FANFICTION AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT EPISODE 3 IS NOT CANON AND RACHEL IS ALIVE AND NOT DEAD
Cameron Martin
you can't blame them for not wanting us to spoil endings directly. even code leak user did this many times.
lots of stuff they mentioned became true along with locations. but for some reason, devs apperantly changed the context and considering endings are also changed (even that slate photo confirms that) story evolved retardedly. there's a reason why finale felt so rushed. nothing's solved, especially for sera's mother. we don't know shit, our choices didn't affect shit about endings,characters' actions (while everything was so cool until ep2) i'm also curiours about why fluff,romance scenes got cut while they made lot effort to intimacy counter and we also got (consequence) symbol after those choices, why LA/NY thing went to trash bin while it also had some consequence, as game showed.
after this point, you can't help but think they changed many stuff during the development.
Evan Roberts

Blake Powell
MY Eliot realized his mistake and is now having sex with Chloe. Completing 4 years on the 25th of December.
Sebastian Walker
meh. Now after EP3 her being dead is so retarded that it's hard to take seriously. BtS joined S1 in being a joke game.
Gavin Gomez
I went over Zaks head to SE and threatened to shut down LiS 2 if they didn't force Zak to abandon his happy ending
Zak has to say he did it or else he will be fired
I browse Veeky Forums and I love seeing all you people get upset. I love tragedy
Levi Long
Lol. I think it meant that Chloe was meant to put her hand on Rachel's stomach only. That animation of them cuddling was so fucking weird and stiff.
