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"
Black lies on the shitstomper That we are That we are That we are to know This motherfucker stole farewell's thrill And now Sahara's cracked and cold
See the sky is no tragedy's land Because if you ain't got land, you ain't no kind of man A shitty thing to say Hope here needs guts Not an idiot found in your place
And no man is an island,oh this I know But can't you see,oh? Maybe you were the quicksand, and I was some gingerman's foots
Black lies on the shitstomper That we are That we are That we are born to suffer Comfy came against my will And every story must end tragically
Still I'll be a shit-eater A ginger gypsy's reins to face But the road is getting shittier With that fool found in your place
And no man is an island, so is this motherfucker, I know But can't you see, oh? Maybe you were the quicksand, and I was some gingerman's foots
So here we go...
Oh I don’t wanna beg for your tragedy And I don’t wanna ask you why But if I was to go my own way Would I have to sacrifice you,bye?
Oh I don’t wanna beg for your tragedy And I don’t wanna ask you why But if I was to go my own way Would I have to sacrifice you,bye?

how dare you question her toughness

Max is totally hardcore. Those Seattle coffee shops where they sometimes do open mic nights can be hella dangerous. Luckily, Max now has a loyal bodyguard to accompany her there.

Jack Diaz
Max is too.
For the last time, user, you cannot lick Max's eyes. That's weird. Is this the new "Kate lays eggs"?
What hapened to the /lisg/ for no below? Is it still happening?
Oliver Ward
If the game literally ended with Rachel and Chloe running away in Episode 2 and us just imagining how it goes wrong and them having to come home, Episode 2 of BtS would have been a masterstroke
Camden Rodriguez
Eh nah
Joseph Price
I disagree.
I hope it's true. I'm cautiously optimistic for a Q4 release. Hopefully we get some news at E3 in June.
Mason Rivera
Not surprising We figured it would follow a similar timeline to BtS. Reveal at E3 then release in September. Could be earlier of course if they choose not to reveal at E3
Brody Adams
Well, it feels like a pretty official confirmation to me, but it's still pretty surprising. I would have thought Square would schedule a bigger break between BtS and season 2, and that Dontnod wouldn't want to squish Vampyr and season 2 so close together.
Evan King
>mfw season 2 date and thread hype coming up to it >mfw season 2 will probability be even more rushed than bts >Mfw it might not have powers because of bts
Wyatt Ross
They been working on it for over a year
Easton Clark
I love their delusional believes. And still this Max hate.
I hope D9 gets forced by SE to put so much effort into it as possible and finally confirm young teenage Pricefield crush. (Chloe crushing on Max - goodbye Amberprice, Rachel was only a filler for the Max shaped hole in Chloe's heart.)
Yeah, I'm bit salty actually. Normally I do not care about those people, but amberpricenation plays foul.
Mason Sanders
I do think we will be seeing something at E3. Guessing an announcement and teaser.
That sounds nice. I've seen that pic before but don't have it saved. It was like Kate on violin, Max playing guitar and singing, and Chloe singing.
DONTNOD kind of got put in an odd spot. Vampyr was supposed to be out already but they hit some kind of significant delay. Like it or not, they may be releasing two games in fairly rapid succession. If both are good then it's very good for them as a company if they're getting good reviews and sales on two things at once. It could also get very hectic.
Leo Wood
A teen crush kinda ruins the magic of them developing and discovering feelings for each other over that week Maybe I'm just a fan of slowburn Pricefield but I'd rather they didn't have anything beyond them being super close friends in their teen years
Connor Clark
Fucking Christ, those people are idiots. >Not even in the tags? Max BTFO! >Based Zak captain of the Amberprice! >Give me a hint to the stars and Rachel! >Max abandoned Chloe and doesn't deserve her (But Rachel totally does) >BtS still isn't connected! Just look at Nathan! Him having a few friendly moments with Samantha should have turned his life around!
What a bunch of cringe-inducing, whiny, obsessive, vindictive, cunts. And yes, I hope they are lurking here to read this.
Austin Butler
Na, only Chloe on Max, not the other way round and Chloe not able to identity those feelings and this crush.
This won't take away the slow burn, since Max is still developing her true feelings and Chloe is torn between Rachel and Max the first days.
Nolan Wright
Finally found it.
Agreed.
Yeah, they started working on it when they released the box version of S1.
Ryder Wilson
I can agree with that. At most I wouldn't mind seeing some vague hints that Chloe may be developing feelings for Max then. Nothing obvious or vocal though. Max clearly wasn't having those feelings then. Anything significant between them only developed when they were reunited. The result of them both meeting again after undergoing changes, seeing they were still friends, and realizing that they were becoming more.
Ryan Scott
And here is the reason why I'm salty and wish D9 makes Farewell better than whole BtS. Okay than E3 is enough.
Amberpricenation is a fucking two-faced liar...look how he tells that others are the bad ones. When I look at the other shit he posted. Don't know if he is schizophrenic or has a multiple personality disorder
Ethan Sanchez
...
Eli Cruz
Well said.
Good job, user!
Being better than Episode 3 may not be setting the bar very high. I'm sure some will get angry just because it's showing Max. They have an irrational and fierce hatred of a fictional character, especially when it's one who makes another character (they claim to care about) happy.
Mason White
True enough, the release dates are probably more up to Square than Dontnod, so they may pump them out quickly. And of course, different teams are making Vampyr and Life is Strange, so it wouldn't pose any production problems.
I hate to bring this kind of negativity into /lisg/ for even one post, but I kind of agree. I fell in love with Life is Strange almost entirely because of Chloe and Max and their relationship, and Before the Storm proceeded to shit all over it. Yeah, I know, it's just showing a different part of Chloe's life and we knew beforehand most of what would happen. It's still not something I ever wanted to see, and it tore the community in half. I recognize that Before the Storm is objectively a well-made game, especially from a new studio. But personally, I don't like it.
(I think a romance when they were younger would be a mistake, though). is right.
Cooper Nguyen
i am going to make babies with max and then chloe
Asher Jackson
You are NOT going to do that
Brandon Miller
That is amazing. Don't even need the episode now :P I know there may be some sad stuff and showing a little bit of Max after she moved to Seattle, but give us at least one nice moment like that.
Aiden Fisher
She's cute but would agree with me.
Ayden Nelson
I really don't think Zak is going to force some overly tragic garbage on us. I think it's most likely to be a mixture of comfy happiness and bittersweetness (so I think you'll definitely get at least a few moments of pure happiness).
Tyler Jones
>BtS thoughts >Romance when they were younger would be a mistake This is how I feel as well.
>I think it's most likely to be a mixture of comfy happiness and bittersweetness Yep I think so too.
Jaxson Perez
>I really don't think Zak is going to force some overly tragic garbage on us Ah yes, I too believed that once
Kayden Morgan
>At most I wouldn't mind seeing some vague hints that Chloe may be developing feelings for Max then. Nothing obvious or vocal though. THIS!
Luke Butler
>and Before the Storm proceeded to shit all over [Max and Chloe's relationship]. Yeah, I know, it's just showing a different part of Chloe's life and we knew beforehand most of what would happen. It's still not something I ever wanted to see. So much this.
John Morales
DONTNOD may finish their work on both games around the same time since it is two teams, but it also comes down to the publishers. Not sure where the issue with Vampyr's delay originated. They are two different publishers: LiS is SE and Vampyr is Focus Home. Speaking of which, got curious and checked Focus Home's Twitter. They have a video talking about some of the stuff with Vampyr.
As for BtS, you summed up how I felt about it mostly. By the end of LiS, the single thing I loved the most about it was Max & Chloe. Seeing their friendship and the seeds of a strong relationship. There were other things I really liked about the game too. Things that didn't seem to be present in BtS. BtS just didn't have that. I try not to come across as insulting towards Rachel and those who like her and Chloe together, but I really just do not have an interest in her. I don't love her and I don't hate her. I acknowledge what she means to Chloe and to the story and that's about it. Which I think is fair, I don't try to belittle her or bash her as some insist on doing to Max and saying she doesn't deserve to be in Chloe's life. When speculating for BtS, I cared more about seeing Chloe's thoughts and maybe seeing some nice moments between her and Joyce. I was curious to get to know Rachel, and am glad I did, but she still didn't create that attraction for me as a player that I felt for LiS's characters. The prequel did bring out an ugly side of the fandom and that is a real shame.
Jackson Walker
Whenever I hear that song I get taken right back to this moment.
Brandon Green
vampire girls are hella hot
Kevin Kelly
I think Vampyr is going to be pretty good. Thanks for the link, I haven't seen Episode 2 of their Vampyr behind the scenes yet but Episode 1 was pretty interesting.
Regarding BtS, you said what I would want to say much better than I could.
Also that image is fucking hot
Jackson Hill
I don't think Vampyr looks like anything all that special, but it looks interesting. I'd buy it if it went on sale.
I completely agree. It lacked the my favorite thing from the first game (Max and Chloe) and didn't have anything else to really draw me in with. And you summed up my thoughts about Rachel as well. Ambivalence and apathy.
Jace Allen
>then chloe goes fishing inside max's pantsu
Robert Mitchell
Na. Nothing romantically like others mentioned already. Crushing one-sided by Chloe on Max without sorting out what those feelings are is enough.
Na, you are okay with not liking BtS. I like Pricefield more than anything else in these games and when I see the same people comment over and over on dumblr their shit and lies (amberpriceavenger, amberpricenation, amberpricefan mainly) and do such schizophrenic things I believe they don't even know how much harm they cause to the fandom as whole.
BtS is technically in some parts better, in some parts not than LiS. But it failed to bring up things needed clearly and masked ir was hiding to much stuff behind the "High School Teenage Love Drama Simulator 2017"
