>Life is Strange
(LiS) - An episodic narrative adventure game by developer Don’t Nod (DN). Set in the fictional coastal town of Arcadia Bay, Oregon, it follows Max Caulfield, a shy, awkward photography student who discovers she can rewind time and—perhaps more urgently—that she’s very, very gay. At the heart of the story is Max’s reunion with her estranged best friend, the rebellious, blue-haired Chloe Price. Their bond becomes the game’s pulsing queer core as they unravel the mystery of Rachel Amber’s disappearance. What begins as a teenage reconnection blooms into a messy, tender queer odyssey about grief, desire, and the impossible choices we make for the people we can't truly live without.

Lowkey hoping they don't mess this up, but it's D9, so expectations are sub-zero. The branching for dialogues could be a total gem: romance one/friends with the other, romance the other/friends with the first, romance both or just friendzone everyone
>>
>>555340261
I just believe it's going to be nothing more than dialogue changes, all the previews have more scenes of Chloe talking to Amanda than Max alone. But there's a big ass Pricefield boat romance, so you know were the real effort is put on the relationship

It is true. Rhianna Devries had been working on this shit since 2022, and she's only in Double Exposure for 10 seconds. They didn't know what the fuck was going on with the other team because they were silo'd with their own psychos and retards in charge of the doomed project.

Didn't they release one of these when DE came out? I could have sworn they did.
Anyway, the original Blackwell one is ok, but has a large number of problems. The idea that Chloe and Max would be annotating 2 books (well, closer to one, since they really gave up on the Arcadia Bay part) during their week together was already pretty silly and I think would only work if the book were set in an AU where Max never left the bay.
Reunion seems to be set across 3 days or so. Why would they be annotating a book about the university in that limited amount of time together?
A smarter way to do this concept imo would be to have done a photo-album/travel-diary Chloe and Max put together in the years they spent traveling together following LiS 2.
You could tell a real narrative that way, explore something we have only seen hints of before and it would make sense why Chloe/Max have written all over it.
But since the guy who made the first one never played the game and only read the wiki, I guess something interesting would be too much to ask for.
I will still get it. But I wont like it.
>>
>>555357905
got three options, either Portland, Corvallis, or Seattle.
leaning towards Seattle because I have visited a few times and really liked it, and it has more job opportunities.
though if it ends up being a bit tough ATM, I'm looking to move to Corvallis, maybe closer to Portland.
I'd do online as well but I'm a dumbass and can only focus when there's a professor in front of me.
my older sister will be helping me with the move, and will decide if she wants to get an apartment with me or go elsewhere on the west coast.
we both really like hiking/camping, so the PNW is the perfect location for us.

Actually the DE book was a shameless copy of the Blackwell book.
This seems to be a lazy pricefield rehash of the DE book - since nobody brought the DE book, so it would be functionally new to most people anyway.
>>
>>
>>555373080
The new one is just an updated version of >>555364375 with some Chloe stuff added in so that people actually buy it this time.
Kinda sums up Reunion in general really, since it looks to be 95% reused DE assets.

That is honestly even more funny than had they just taken an already released book and released a pricefield version.
When you detach yourself from the series enough, it actually becomes pretty damn funny just how bad DE failed.
>>
>>
>>
>>555374965
not necessarily.
it was always intended to be a DE companion book, and was meant to release in April of this year when printing was complete.
I assume though midway through either last year or the beginning of last year whenever they made the changes to Reunion, they also updated this book considering it hadn't released and would fit better with the updated story
>>

Reunion started production in September of 2023. The only reason they would delay the companion book is if there was another game planned in the same setting.

I thought it was announced at the same time as the upcoming Izzie book last year. I remember thinking it was weird that they were releasing a DE book a year and a half after the game flopped, but I guess it was planned to coincide with the Reunion launch.

Finishing EP4 at launch in 2015, I had my longest ever nofap streak of 14 days which is still my record today. I was in a weird mood, to say the least.

I played the original game when it came out and I loved it, I recall having the biggest crush on Chloe and her punk rock vibe.
I replayed it when they announced Reunion and holy fuck Chloe is insufferable. I mean she's hot but she needs therapy or meds or something. Max on the other hand? Oh Max...You were always wife material.
Anyway, I will let a town go to shit again if that means I get to bang a hopefully less mentally unstable Chloe.

I agree, Chloe is actually pretty annoying after replaying. I think most people that enjoy her character either think she’s so hot they’re blind from her shit personality or they’re an angsty teen who finds her relatable.
>>
>>555424812
LiS2 is easily the second best game and way overhated, it’s pretty close to LiS in quality but people dismiss it because it didn’t have an attractive woman as a protagonist.
LiS > LiS2 >>> BtS >>> TC => DE
TC and DE is hard because TC had consistent quality from the start, it was always a bit boring but never faltered (I thought the first episode was decent then the rest was slow), DE actually has a pretty good first two episodes then it fell off a cliff. I’d give the edge to TC but it’s close.
>>
>>555426739
Alex is a very likeable protagonist, which goes a long way, but the plot was absolutely nothing. I thought it was okay for the vibes, but the ending was a total joke. I can't imagine ever replaying it.
>>555426565
I actually liked Chloe more on replaying it. Her positive traits stood out to me more and her worst moment in episode 3 didn't hit me in the same way since I knew how it ends up.
>>
>>555426565
>or they’re an angsty teen who finds her relatable
Or people who, for whatever reason, got mentally stuck in that age.
Gotta give them credit though, a few threads back, most of them straight up admitted that even though they love her in-game, in real life they'd keep people like that at arm's length. No way they'd put up with or "carry" someone like that.
And when they described the kind of person they'd actually want to spend their life with, or their current partner, it sounded way more like Amanda, lol
>>
>>555424812
It gets progressively retarded from that point on with how contrived and ham-fisted some of the situations are. Especially whenthey reach the wall and instead of Daniel lifting them over, which he can do with absolute ease at this point, he instead tears it open to drive in a literal breaking the wall message.It's still the best in the franchise easily.

They also need the fanbase to stay positive. With a TV show coming out, they clearly want it to act as a springboard for deeper cooperation with Amazon. A fanbase that’s angry and divided can only hurt that. On top of that, the show will likely drive game sales and bring in new fans. Double Exposure seriously undermines that, especially when Max and Chloe are meant to be the main draw.

None of those people understood Max and they are fine with her abusing her powers in a out of character way to get into a relationship. They are shallow minded and superficial, just like DE is
Amanda should call Max a red flag when she does that, rather than just doing so when you opt to not romance her, because it will fit a lot more her supposed emotional maturity. But I'm quite happy Amandafags are getting the short end of the stick in Reunion

The Double Exposure writers making Chloe a paranoid with insecurities was a completely fucking retarded narrative choice they used to give themselves space to write in three quirky Asians who wanted to get between Max's legs and it is beyond idiotic for you to perpetuate such out of character nonsense.

>>555456172
Amanda is native american, not asian. But her etnicity is barely relevant to the story, to the point you could replace her with any other type of character as long as they fit the role of generic shallow love interest for Max

And she seemingly pulls this shit again in Reunion. From what we saw she's romancing and going on boat dates with an alternative merged-timeline Chloe, who had a different life and didn't suffer through the storm, while the original Chloe that left Max gets discarded I guess? Ceases to exist? I hope that's not the case, it's very odd ethically.

Yeah, if DE was their attempt at appealing to the Pricefield audience, they're actually stupid.
It's more likely that SE London took the fact that the first game was the only one with good sales and the fact that Chloe is a divisive character and thought that a Max game without Chloe is taking something people like and removing something people don't like, which has to be better, right? Very smooth-brained executivethink, but a plausible explanation.
>>

>>555481739
I'm not sure what to think about Reunion yet, but I find it really hard to believe there wasn't any pivoting in response to DE's reception. I'm not counting on the documentary in the deluxe edition to reveal anything significant, we probably won't know much about how things ended up the way they did for a long time.

you must be a troglodyte to believe that garbage meme is real. In actual archeology and antropology, there's much more than just bone structure or DNA to identify if a past human remain might have belonged to a man or a woman

We know Rhianna had a lead role since 2022, and it turned out to be Chloe as Reunion had a proper build on Steam by September 2023, so I'm on the idea at least some of the people between D9 and SE were already walking back but still had to commit to DE because they spent way too much money on its success

Believe or not lots of antropologist made mistakes on the gender of skeletons and that's they need to consider all the available evidence to examine who they were by the things they were buried with, in which place they were ect..
And also, with modern day society its more likely to incinerate corpses than a old style burial, so good luck trying to analize dust

lol it honestly doesn’t. Older studies show the best cure for gender dysphoria in adolescents is to just let them go through puberty. The vast majority of them end up being gay or lesbian post puberty. Have you ever heard of the Cass Review? I know you haven’t, but this study was done in 2024 and debunked so much of the tranny science that it moved the UK to let go of the WHO model used to treat gender dysohoria, this is why people are having a harder time getting access to hormones and surgeries, especially minors, in the UK.
It’s always seemed crazy to me that you think you are so full of compassion for trans people but you haven’t ever bothered to learn about medical transition beyond blind acceptance. It’s really not healthy for people to take cross sex hormones for life or to undergo these Frankenstein tier surgeries,
The vast majority of people who experience gender dysphoria do not need medical intervention.
>>
>>
>>555507976
Well an entire country moved away from the WHO standard so I genuinely think you’re acting in bad faith in casting out the review entirely. I’m not sure it matters much to you because you won’t change your mind, but I was trans for 10 years before de transitioning. That’s why I care about it so much, I really care about people who struggle like I have. I just encourage you to open your mind if you sincerely want to help people.

If this is true, you have been conviced by cultists to get back in the closet anon. You will always be a trans person, in the same way gay people are gay even if they are forced in a straight marriage, and you are a useful prop to people that won't never accept your true self and identity, and you will only hurt other queer people by doing what you are doing

Science is a continued effort and scientific knowledge is built upon previous scientific knowledge, at times contradicting it, so unless you specifically have a good (scientific) reason for not referring to the latest research, standards and such, you should.
Also, the notions that "lobotomies were great", the brain was for cooling blood and the earth was flat weren't reached through the scientific method, while leeches are occasionally used in medical practice to this day.
>>555507302
>older studies
Why would you refer to older studies instead of more recent ones?
>the Cass review
I'm having a look at it now for the first time, and it seems to conclude that there is no sufficient statistical evidence to conclude that gender affirming care improves mental health outcomes in children.
Not that trans people aren't valid, nor that the mental health of people over the age of 18 doesn't improve with gender affirming care, nor that it's (un)healthy for people to take hormones for life, nor that any amount of people who experience gender dysphoria do or do not need medical intervention.
>>555508440
>an entire country moved away from the WHO standard
Is that the same country that applies and removes tariffs to foreign imports on a whim, whose president suggested injecting invermectin to treat covid, whose currency is currently at a record low, who proudly invaded a sovereign country "to take the oil", and whose immigration enforcers shoot domestic citizens during protests?
I wouldn't use that country as an example of a reasonable place where they enact policies for their people's good.

Maybe anon was never a trans person in the first place, regardless of what they may have felt in the moment, or what they may have been lead to believe.
One might easily argue after taking a quick look at twitter, bluesky and/or some discord server, that there are trans people who make an effort to get people to think they are trans.
Someone might call them cultists based on their looks, culture, strict adherence to a series of rules/talking points, e.g. if you've detransitioned you've been convinced by cultists to get back in the closet, this fictional character is definitely trans because they have so much in common with my experience, ...

So, I finished LiS2 today, this game is fucking good. I'm actually kind of mad I didn't play it earlier. I wasn't interested in a brothers road trip story and assumed that wrangling Daniel would be a huge pain in the ass, but it works really well. Combined with the complaining from players, I decided to skip it. Those players are fucking idiots.
The dialog is less clunky than the first game, but it still maintains a lot of the same charm. I ended up liking Sean and Daniel, it was cool seeing how they developed over the course of their journey. They were both kind of shitheads at times, but the way that they genuinely cared about each other was nice to see. Biggest complaint is I wish we had more time with certain characters. I think that's where the first game has an edge. LiS2 does a good job of making you like characters while they're around, I just think seeing new sides of characters as the story advances from episode 1 to episode 5 is a little more rewarding.
I agree with >>555426739 on the rankings of the games in the series. The power gap between the DN and D9 games is staggering.

So far they haven't shown anything compared to the gameplay stream before DE. Not a single full dialogue branch, no puzzles, nothing. Just the difference in how events are presented by the character when choosing the ending of the first game and a little explanation of the refined rewind mechanic. As for the rest, you can see it's a rough build with textures not loading and empty placeholders where the interaction wheels should be.
It's not looking good
>>
>>555597727
There's a bit of tutorial on Moses lab and the basement with Loretta in which Max's rewind is in action, but I fear its not going to be enough in terms of unique uses of the mechanic

I hard disagree, but sure, here are my disjointed thoughts without any order of importance. Better then shitposting away.
1) Daniel is annoying. I don't use the word loosely, he is incredibly annoying. Made it really really hard to care.
2) The entire game is one miserable journey with no breaks or stops. All other LiS games (and Lost Records) are bittersweet, melancholic and comfy, and balanced.
3) The wall, mexicans, etc. I don't care. I'm not American, I'm not European, I'm not western, these things resonate with absolutely nothing in me. American politics are nauseating to me.
4) The ridiculous wait times between episodes have left a bad taste in my mouth that I can't forget.
5) LiS2 came out at a time when LiS1 was very fresh in people's minds, and people were wanting more, but they delivered with something 180 degree in opposite direction in terms of tone. That hurt me, I can't forget that.

The best "pricefield" ending is for them to remain friends and realize their full potentials just like the ending to La La Land. The absolute best ending is for Max to split every Chloe that got merged and return them to their respective timelines where they part as friends because Chloe canonically died in LiS 1. Max then lives happily ever after with Amanda.

DE's already good. Meanwhile, Reunion will pale in comparison because it looks like it's not going to take any risks like DE did and is too fan-servicey so far. Any game/book/movie will suffer from those points.
>>
>>555613559
>Will Reunion make DE good?
No, but it might make it more bearable knowing that it's the lead in to something better.
>>555613195
Thats the bad ending.
>>
>>555613559
>Two questions:
okay, what are the questions?
>>Will Reunion make DE good?
DE won't benefit from Reunion if it's received well, it still at the end of the day is an okay story that, unless you love Max, is skippable.
however, I personally enjoyed the gameplay/new ability and things to do, story aside I had fun with it.
>>And qrd on Chloe please
Chloe is Max's childhood friend, that after a few years apart get reunited in the first game, and go through emotional times and depending on what you chose, either made you grow closer or you lost her for good.
with Reunion though, because of what occured in DE, Chloe is back again, so I assume we'll be met with the same decision from the first game, and for the players who chose incorrectly at the end of the first game, they'll probably have a second chance to choose correctly this time
>>
>>
>>
>>555611530
There will probably be an ending that shows Max and Chloe getting engaged. We might see Max having a big show of her photos at Caledon with cameos from characters from LIS like David, Victoria, Kate, maybe even Warren. Fanservice bonus for Steph and Alex and/or David bringing Karen with him. Just truly sappy shit to make you think of all the shit you actually liked to wrap it all in a nice bow since who knows if there will be another one.
Other endings will be less sugary sweet, but I believe there will be at least one "perfect" ending.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>555624089
I think whatever ending will more than likely use Caledon as the setting for budget reasons. I'm not a game dev and I don't know how much work goes into creating character models, but if the cameo characters don't get any dialog, I think it's manageable in the time they had to do at least a few.
>>
>>555624089
It's the big ending to their story. In a series that has time travel.
I'm not expecting much, since Reunion was clearly made on a gum and shoestring budget. But I think we could end on Max getting look into her life together with Chloe slide-show style. Maybe over the credits.
So we still get to see them get married and such. But not in a way that would be expensive to do.
>>
>>555625614
At best, we'll see them driving out in the car in a scene that is a shameless copy of the original Bae ending and it will be it. A marriage scene would require new assets and D9 is already scraping the bottom of the barrel by bringing in the Remasters models into the game
>>
>>
>>555627681
That seems nice but it's not going to happen. I expect a bait and switch with the Chloe dying again thing, and Max will pull out a deus ex machina like she did for Safi the game prior resulting in a mid ending once again
>>
>>

>>555609557
1) Yes, especially in episode 3. But that's how kids are. He's a pain in the ass sometimes but he's fun at other times. And while I don't think you need to love every second of it, I think it's by design. The challenge is doing the right thing for Daniel even when he's not always nice to you, just like a real 9 year old.
2) Disagree. There are comfy moments throughout, even with the specter of the police hanging over your head. Most of the time in Beaver Creek was pretty comfy, there were some good times with the drifters, most of episode 5, really. You're going to tell me the canyon and treasure hunt in Away wasn't nice?
3) Skill issue.
4 and 5, I can empathize with, but it wasn't part of my experience. If I had played it at release, I probably would have been annoyed, too. I don't think I've played an episodic game as each episode was released since BTS because I hate waiting.

so in reunion max supposedly jumps back through a photo to 3 days ago to stop the fire, but in lis 1 every time she does that, she soon after blacks out and goes back to the exact moment in the timeline when she jumped through the photo. that leaves only a few minutes to change stuff before automax takes over. what.

>>
>>555672428
Yeah, that immediately stuck out to me, too. If they wanted to do the whole thing where Max sees a future event, they could have just done it like Max's first dream of the storm in LiS1 without violating the rules of her powers, but that would require D9 actually giving a shit.

There's really no reason for them to stay in Arcadia Bay at all, they've already moved on from there. The comics understood that, though they did return to honor the casualties of the storm and are doing their best to form a better community. If they do that in Reunion, it's going to yet again get backlash from pissfielders for "copying" the comics' ending, lazy writing blah blah blah even though it is the ending they want.
With that said, don't expect much from the pissfielders in terms of brainpower anon. Just look at how they try and reason why Max's powers are the way there are now. If you say it doesn't need to be explained - it's poor writing. If you try and give one - then not everything needs to be explained and/or it's going to be lazy D9 writing even though we don't know yet. After all, LiS 1 did the same thing but somehow that's okay right?
>>
>>555674964
>Going back to AB is absolute brainrot. Why they'd even need that?!
Anon, this is D9 we are talking about. Amanda and Vinh are going to be discarded and they are going to go to Arcadia Bay again (or imply to) because that's what they were teasing in the DE ending, and its way more likely to happen since AB is now still intact regardless of LiS1

I don't give a shit about their reaction. Hopefully, the pandering is just for the marketing and the actual game has some integrity left. D9 or not, it's still better than blatant nostalgia baiting

Agreed, it's the least compelling thing about the whole game right now. I'm hoping they release another trailer or two to vaguely outline the overall mystery of the game, it has me piqued to say the least. There's a fire, defacing of school property and some call for impeachment. But why? Will be sorely disappointed if the mystery is just some hollow political message.

It's just going to be hollow, much like all of Deck Nine political messaging has been superficial and level surface shallow writing. Joke's on you believing there's more to this story than D9 recycling once again the same things from the previous game
>>
>>
>>555679473
It's blindingly obvious that the fire plot and the whole mystery were planned as part of the overarching story way before DE. Just as obvious as the marketing being heavily skewed toward shipper-baiting. Whether the actual game doubles down on that remains to be seen
>>
>>555680248
>It's blindingly obvious that the fire plot and the whole mystery were planned as part of the overarching story way before DE.
But its still not interesting because people only found the fire quotes after it was revealed. If you fail to make people interested in your supposedly planned overarching story, then you have failed as a storyteller

>During a party scene, the player is offered wine and is given the option to take a sip. The player character realises that she has been spiked from the drink that she sipped on and is experiencing hallucinations. Images on screen become distorted and a scene plays out with the character seeing strange images. A character tells the hallucinating character that she is "tripping balls".
Who is getting drugged, Max or Chloe? I'm thinking it's Max and Chloe is saying she's "tripping balls", since Chloe already said that phase in LiS1 (to David).

The setting is literally perfect for this kind of deep dive and LiS is at its best when it explores the rot hidden beneath the surface. Having a small-town/university mystery lead all the way up to high-level conspiracy is exactly the kind of escalation the franchise needs

Why do you always ignore True Colors? People liked that game and the anthology format and it was a decent enough commercial success. There's nothing that forced SE to bring back Max to continue a finished story
>>
>>555894759
True Colors underperformed expectations. Every game in the series has sold worse than the one before it.
They were desperate to keep the license for Life is Strange because they have nothing else going on but didn't have any actual ideas.

It's clear that Neither Max nor Chloe can carry a game on their own. However, making games without either of them will sell even worse.

It's over for Ashly. Hannah & Rhianna have an 'otherworldly' connection to each other
>>
>>

>>
>>
>>556218810
I think its because they sort of started similar. Hannah had some small roles but really got her breakthrough as Max. And her co-star was a girl younger than her but with more experience and credits under her name.
Meanwhile, Rhianna's role as Chloe is literally her second acting credit, during her first year as a professional VA. Similarly to Hannah, her co-star is also a girl younger than her with a bit more experience (though nowhere near as much as what Ashly had when she was cast in the first LiS game)

Despite my zero respect for D9, I'd love to see a masterclass from you on how to market this clusterfuck. Half the game was cut from the start, making it pointless, and what's left is being butchered due to budget overruns. And the best part - you're not even allowed to mention a sequel that probably fixes this mess or answers any questions

This is the point that keep perplexing me,why make it so on the nose the soft reboot, moving away from Chloe, Safi's spotlight and new love interest angle for Max in DE if that's going to be reduced in Reunion?

Comparing the stream with the PEGI and ESRB ratings, it's obvious the game is short as hell and has almost no content left to show. The fact they showed an in-dev build with T-posing, missing textures, and placeholder interaction wheels is a massive red flag. They know it's going to be a buggy mess at launch, so they're just pandering to the audience to maximize day-one sales before the inevitable refunds and bad reviews hit. They're just trying to grab whatever cash they can

Spot on, they even mention a patch being ready on day one. Not many devs are going to stay around post launch at D9 anyway
