MAX IS BACK! Life is Strange: Double Exposure - Part 1

[@HighPhoenix1754]

I swear, seeing Max again is like greeting an old friend. I'm so happy to see her progression and how much shes grown while still keeping her quirky attitude from her youth. Somethings never change.

[@sylverpepper]

It's a pleasure to see this licence again. But this one wasn't made by the same developers (Deck Nine), there are a few inconsistencies and they didn't respect Chloé, alas! Life is strange 2 was just as good, I hope you've played it ;) Just so you know, we're also waiting for Lost Record: Bloom and Rage, which comes out in January 2025 and is the spiritual sequel to Life is Strange. Made by Don't nod, the same developers as the first Life is strange!

Im glad they let Max grow up in this game and I don't mind her moving on from Chole. It's normal to do that lol

[@ash.1353]

definitely same, despite still having some complaints about plot points later in the game i ended up still really having fun, and they wrote max so nicely!!

[@linkash4167]

It's so cool that you get to experience this blind, having watched trailers and whatnot, certain moments didn't impact me as much as they should have but to see your blind reactions gave me the feels

[@adipramana7]

I love how much you love these games and these characters, games like these aren’t normally my thing to play so being able to experience them through you is a blessing.

[@crows2808]

Emma not responding to messages was giving me a heart attack, right up until she mentioned she's bad at responding to messages in real life. Now it just feels natural. Keep on being who you be.

[@IAmSpartacus468]

Really enjoying so far! Max's VA Hannah Telle has such an amazing voice and it just makes me happy whenever I hear her. Love how they've continued Max's character progression as well! Excited to see how many more characters Emma falls in love with lol

[@chahanny]

just finished part 1 today! really enjoying it so far and excited to see where the story goes! love the music too

[@KaTeFoXx]

it's so nostalgic yet so present to see Max and hear her voice again after such a long time.. it actually makes me so comfortable

[@Quzga]

Not me having a crush on Amanda and realizing she isn't real 😢 she's so adorable

[@whis.sensei]

I’m gutted that Chloe and Max broke up and I’m gutted that in the other version Joyce and David didn’t reconcile their marriage.

[@borgerborgersen372]

How could they reconcile when David had moved to Arizona in LIS 2? He was then living in the same trailer park as Sean's and Daniel's mother Karen. I don't think Deck Nine will alter actions that already took place in earlier LIS games. It would have been hard to have Chloe active in Double Exposure since the story is happening at Caledon university. Chloe can't live there. I don't think Max would have accepted to move to Caledon if she lived with Chloe. They should at least remain friends and exchange messages. I can't tell if that's happening in Double Exposure because Chloe isn't alive in my version. I got some initial messages from Chloe's mother, Joyce. So I guess Deck Nine are letting remote contacts communicate with messages.

[@kjh23gk]

@@borgerborgersen372 Dude, spoilers? Emma is still playing LiS2.

[@vincew4297]

@@borgerborgersen372 I don’t think them remaining friends would have been realistic. In a world where Chloe is still alive that means that Max sacrificed Arcadia Bay which means both Joyce and David are dead, as well as all their family and friends who lived there. I don’t think making a decision like that would have held up well in the aftermath in terms of keeping their friendship or relationship alive. It’s hard to keep a friendship or relationships for 10 years after high school. I liked the fact that she chose that Chloe died because it brings a different feel to Max’s story as opposed to them just choosing go their separate ways

[@kandismon]

leaving a comment for the algorithm 😤💜 I watched the first 5min and then decided that I have to play this myself before watching your playthrough, haha. I'LL BE BACK 🫡🫡🫡

[@TheSultonOfTheFuckingWaves]

I've been zoned out of the Life is Strange games for a while but I can't belive we get another one featuring Max!! The first game left such a hole in my heart for the characters and the atmosphere. So glad to see they brought her back. 🔥

[@borgerborgersen372]

I finished chapter 1 too and it was a pleasant and fun experience. I like this version of Max. She has more confidence and fun to be around. The only pity so far is that the cat hasn't shown up at my door yet. 😊 The story is building up slowly at a natural pace and that's good to see. Most characters you meet seem to have their own agenda so you have to think about who to trust or not with information. Personally I try to be a bit secretive. So far I haven't made any decisions I regret, but I guess I won't know until chapter 2 or later. I will play chapter 2 today and have high hopes the good start will continue.

[@borgerborgersen372]

Update: The cat has finally arrived. 😊 Furthermore, the good story telling became even better in chapter 2 and ended with ****** Can't wait for chapter 3 to unlock in 8 days to get some answers revealed. The music continues to be great.

[@piggnut18]

Not me slowly being convinced Max is secretly a mutant with all her time-paradox powers.

[@OllieJ1997]

Even though Chloe isn’t a physical presence in this game it’s cool to see messages from her or updates to see what she’s up to same with Victoria chase

[@Robert-s9u]

I would have loved for a new game + where maybe we could have played another character like the reporter girl that interacts with max, or play it from the altered world Safi was alive, like what if the new game plus had Safi as the main character, and we got to shapeshift into different people thought the game, see it from her point of view instead of max. or a new game where we got to play Chloe and whatever she was doing during the whole time, max was using her powers, and seeing the messed up world affects from max and Safi like how that might of affected Chloe since she was a survivor of max's powers, if you picked her to live I guess. yes, I wonder that too why no word from Kate or warren in game. I played it from episode 1 to 5 already, so I do wish it came with more, and I don't feel the need to pay 20 dollars for cat addons. Max seems to have a type; she is still fixated on bad girls like Safi, it was random and strange that she could kiss to others in game, that almost are like side characters with no plot to them at all thought out the game. I also noticed that she feels more like a college student than a teacher and looks more like one if it was not for those forehead Rinkles on max, she seems like kid maybe college level smart but not grow up like a teacher personality was not there, it feels like they just hired her because of the photo skills maybe since it didn't feel like she could grade or write papers on her own, I mean they even gave her a dark room for her photo's I think if anything she was just a photo teacher but nothing more than that skill wise, I didn't feel like double exposure did their plot great in that aspect of it. but around the college campus what I found neither interesting nor funny was the tablet with the audio recording jokes. In the game, they included poor-quality poop jokes around the area where you get the hot cocoa. I did not buy any of the addons for this game. It is just left with no one around it, which feels odd. It is strange that Amanda would have left her tablet in that area without any explanation. The game does not provide any context for presence. It as if they are saying, "Here, Max, listen to audio recordings of us talking about poop in bathrooms and clogging the sinks with poop then she goes on in audio to talk about that a few different recordings were left in the game around that area." They made really bad poop jokes and included them in the disc version. I assume it is also in the digital version, but I received the double exposure disc version of the game for Christmas. It not something you would want your parents to hear while you are playing "Life is Strange" in your bedroom with your soundbar 5.1 device. I think the jokes are for a few people that find that stuff funny, I sorry but I did not find it funny, to even listen too when it started to get very weird or strange I just moved max away from the playback device in game. it might have been connected to when max talks to Amanda in bar, about having to use bathroom if it was a number 1 or 5 level bathroom need, maybe but still strange that she would of just left it there, I don't remember if audio recording was in alive world or dead world in game. I don't even know if I used my Bluetooth ear pods, if I wanted to listen to the full recordings, sometimes in games audio recordings are fine, but I didn't feel the need or want to listen. are poop jokes by girls considered woke or not, in any case, it was just bad. I don't mind the different bathroom signs, but really why did they include those bad poop jokes in the game, I only could listen to it until it got very bad, with their words, I would rather play a new game with whatever Choe is doing, also they could have provided a better picture of her or rendering of her, if you're playing, she lived plot in this game. I think Safi is the new Choe, yes, max replaced one bad girl for another one. talk about bad habits. the fact that max could date and kiss both the guy and girl and both of them from different worlds would get mad at her over it, but really, doesn't max have morels about doing stuff like that but the game lets you go there anyway, is that a woke thing? It bothers me that they felt the need to give Max forehead wrinkles in her skin. Why did they do that? Yes, some of the game's choices felt pointless. Don't girls use skincare products for issues like that? Why did they give her such dry skin problems in double exposure? I think she got tired of Chloe caring about her skin, not that it ever happened, but it was a strange rendering of her forehead. I noticed it while playing on my Series X console version of the game. Maybe the addons and outfit choices fixed that, but I don't own them. It's noticeable in the basic outfits the game provides for free. It's like Max's self-care might be improved with the costume outfits, but I do not know for sure. Sure, this game has its problems. I guess parts of it were too woke, or there were bad jokes included about pooping in audio recordings. That must gotten away from the developers, as seems the company should not have included that since it's low-quality humor. Also, that might explain why she wears that orange hat besides the cold snow. Maybe it dries out her skin more. We don't get much snow here, maybe two days or a week during this month. Otherwise, I don't see snow much, and last year we got no snow at home. The whole whale or dead animals and global warming didn't feel connected to their powers or any animals dying. I guess the new game forgot about it. Besides a twister, I felt it was lacking in the world around her. Since it was already snowing, I guess a summertime was too much to ask for. Also did they forget that Max jumped into a different world in the original game where Chloe was disabled in a wheelchair? I kind of felt like the new Max forgot all about that in this game. The game needs more work. I am not feeling like buying a $20 addon just for petting cats. I can pet real cats at home; no need for that in a video game.

[@borgerborgersen372]

True. Emma really feels through the characters. I hope she finishes LIS 2, moves on to True Colors and then completes Double Exposure. Emma being contacted by Square Enix with a free copy of Double Exposure shows how much they appreciate her reaction videos. They know it's very good PR for their games when players get so emotionally involved in the game events they need to bring napkins to the game session. 😊

Totally unrelated to the video, but I love watching LiS playthroughs, because I somehow always find a hidden gem KZbinr whose videos I really enjoy. You have a very chill vibe and seem to genuinely feel for the characters, which was super fun to watch. Definitely subscribing and watching your whole playthrough!

[@Kiwii156]

The texts to Max from her parents were so sad. All the events, all the trauma of LiS happened to max. Jefferson, the Dark Room, her final week with Chloe then losing her. All of that happened to her, but not in this timeline. So there's genuinely not a single person she can talk to about it. No wonder she's so reserved and closed off.

[@thembill8246]

17:40 that Monkey Island reference I did NOT expect.

[@awesomoose7822]

Loving the start of the series so far, first reaction to this game but here's my take. Max Caulfield realized in the first game that her powers were too dangerous to use, when she didn't go back in time to save Safi, something changed. There was a recognition from whatever the source of her powers is that allowed it to manifest in a new way. It is the same power, as we can see by the fact that she is yet again holding up her hand to use it. Rather than altering the fabric of reality as the power did previously, It has manifested into visions of the past. In some way the powers get set off in important places or when Max makes significant progress with another one of her friends. The people on campus are all connected to Safi in some way, whether they knew it or not. Max will make decent progress towards understanding them better, which will eventually lead her back to the scene of Safi's death, where she discovers the felon. Not sure if this is accurate but it's just what I expect this story is going to be about. I hope it doesn't end up spoiling anything but if it does its a surprise for us both. (edit) after watching further my initial story guess is wrong, but fun to theorize. However, I think my powers theory is mostly accurate.

"555" in phone numbers is supposed to be the 'Hollywood' prefix. It's reserved so you don't call an actual person if you dial the number (Although you'd likely need the area code (another three digits) to get the right regional area -- I guess they don't want to give someone too much information and have them try to find where the made-up college is in the real world and thus the 'real-world' analog of Max or whatever and end up seriously annoying someone and wind up in court. I think I read there are so many phone numbers in play that even the "555"s are now starting to be tapped for service. You can bet that user agreement has an extra block or two of solid legalese. ;)
