[@Murdock_the_Pooch]

“Stupid gun!”

[@JonArbucke]

@@makeitthrough_ there i fixed it

[@shadowdormin]

I cried when Max said "Just when I thought life was strange, it got even stranger". Bravo Dontnod!

[@INTERNALSERVERERROR500]

I know its a joke, but it wouldnt suprise me if it wasn't

[@HenryWayat]

It's literally made by Deck Nine. Dontnod doesn't own Life is Strange after they made LiS 2, Square Enix gave it away to Deck Nine and they made True Colors game.

[@kqgray]

I'm calling it now, it seems like the canon ending to LiS is letting Chloe die and saving the town which is why she swore off using her powers, but through using them in this game she'll manage to master them well enough to circumvent the butterfly effect and THEN save Chloe at the end of this one.

[@bruksphantom]

And then they kiss, which would please the fan-service...

[@notnowhans]

this comment made me laugh because you are absolutely right I see this happening. I actually want to buy the game on release and wait for this ending so I can say "kqgray, local lurker of the YMS comment section, was right, these writers are so predictable." it'll be a funny experience.

[@williamdittmann9281]

Yeah, this whole thing seems like an excuse to retcon the series to please fans and destroy the modicum of creative integrity they had

[@RedSpade37]

Oh no, it's going to be a text-book "Fixer Fic" That's unfortunate.

[@almond3066]

The writing is so atrocious that this is actually a believable possibility, I know you're joking but this would 100% be on brand for the games writing

[@foxdude7083]

- Isn't this just the first game? - Why have Max's powers mutated from reversing time to casually jumping between two timelines? - Isn't this just the first game?? - Max has already seen the effects of trying to save someone fated for death, so why is she willing to risk all that again? - Isn't this just the first game???

[@KE-yq2eg]

There's many sequels to games or movies that were already like the first. The new Zelda TOTK game, Star Wars the force awakens, Toy Story 3. It just goes to show they don't actually have new ideas and can't help but repeat themselves. Was this story even needed to be told?

[@my_earbuds8897]

Max Caulfield in the Multiverse of Madness.

Did they forget what Max looked like?

[@Anotheranimeaccountt]

Sweet baby inc are most likely the reason she looks like this now

[@wetsocks5055]

It’s mostly the hair that’s different

[@MisterAnonymous1000]

​@@AnotheranimeaccounttBut why? Don't they try make things less attractive? This version of Max is (imo) much more attractive compared to the Max in the first game. I'm not saying you're wrong, but this usually isn't there MO. I guess I haven't seen a good example of them actually making something more attractive for the own agenda.

[@Anotheranimeaccountt]

@@MisterAnonymous1000 they do it to push their ideologies onto consumers and for DEI and ESG points which gets them and the company they work with a massive loan from Vanguard or Blackrock if they tick enough boxes because those 2 big companies are trying to push woke stuff onto consumers when consumers don't actually want this stuff in entertainment which is why most stuff that does go woke usually loses a lot money and gets hated by everyone TLDR: they ruin games with their shitty world views for money basically because they hate gamers

[@averyaustin1]

The first game was about max manipulating reality to save a girl and ultimately learning that somethings can’t be changed and that sometimes, it’s best to just leave well enough alone. Hell, A FUCKING TORNADO almost destroyed her home because the universe was knocked out of balance due to Max’s actions. Now, years later, she’s doing the exact same fucking thing over again, expecting shit to change. Did I ever tell you… the definition… of….. insa-

[@Dreamprism]

I hope her new meddling will cause an asteroid to come hurtling toward Earth.

[@scribojello3778]

At this point, the series would be way more in-depth and meaningful if Every iteration got you attached to a personal relationship the MC had, only to kill them and make you go through every iteration where you either can't save them, or turn them into someone who survives but isn't the same person you love. So, what's the choice, let the person you love die as was meant to be, or turn thwm into a different person, killing the "person' you loved anyway but saving the actual human being/ person to be something else. Teach players what real life is purely futile, 99% of the time, no matter what you say or do, your friends will do the same thing (ie suicide), Cause real life isn't one monologue away from saving someone from depression and suicide. That's where these games fail, they want to be 'real, grounded and serious' but then treat major issue as 'It's just an emo phase, they'll get over it'.

[@YoutubeSkreets]

​@@scribojello3778 Big Facts. Don't know if they have writers who'd go into depth about the real risks of time travel. Rika Furude from the series Higurashi for example. Her soul went to different timelines AKA fragments after dying. She however felt distress from the knowledge from the lives of other “Rika’s” she’d overwritten. The memories of her living through past worlds were actually too much. So she created another alternate version of herself as a coping mechanism: Bernkastel. A personification of the failed timelines that helped her to forget the 100 years of going through countless worlds that ended the same. Still, she was able to find that happy ending she was searching for but it came at a cost. Her going to different timelines and changing things, caused her circle of friends to become new individuals and behave differently that led to same endings. She even left some timelines behind with her friends being mentally scarred and changed forever. But she realizes this and that the other timelines were very real. She accepts herself and Bernkastel as one of the same and her current fragment was the only one her friends knew, so she choose to cherished it more.

[@Oniqueen]

Deck nine seems to only make two kinds of games. Literal fanfiction, or “what if we just made the same murder mystery story from the first game again.” Also, it’s going to be so fucking funny if they do the Chloe ending and Max has literal no survivors guilt for killing and entire town. What a fucking monster.

It really says a lot when my first thought upon hearing about this game and Max “Maxi-pad” Caulfield’s return is “I can’t wait to not buy this and watch Adum play it instead” Also I really hope Chloe is canonically dead

[@janberkemeier7406]

If Chloe *isn't* canonically dead it'd be extra funny because unless I'm mistaken her dad flat-out states she's deceased in "Life is Strange 2"

8:17 The curled pinky finger is angled away from the rest of the fingers, which isn't possible. It's like someone broke the pinky and turned it 60° clockwise.

[@makeitthrough_]

It would look fine if her hand was at an angle, but it's like they drew certain fingers at an angle but then made the palm face the viewer

[@wespauls9020]

Will Max actually have the spine to make her own decisions or is ghost Chloe gonna have her on a leash? Also why does every single Life is Strange game revolve around someone getting murdered? Your one trick doesn't work anymore Dontnod.

The second one. Lol

[@oldoutlet6946]

I was just watching playthroughs of Life is Strange again and thinking about how all the games after somehow got worse through each release. At least the original game felt like there was SOME sort of vision and artistic direction despite how much it fumbled in quality and gameplay. It's so frustrating how now that game looks like a masterpiece compared to the prequel, sequels, and spinoffs.

[@VORASTRA]

It's up to personal preference. I didn't like the prequel but I actually loved the sequel.

Max should be out here winning all the lotteries and day trading like crazy.

[@straker454]

I'm going to guess that if you saved Chloe that she and Max broke up or Chloe died of something else anyway but if they broke up, there will be a voice cameo over the phone or she will appear physically at the end of the game so the game can play out the exact same no matter if you chose to save her or not in the original game. Can't REALLY have your choices mean anything, I mean, you'd have to put effort into the game and these are too much of a hallway for THAT to happen, lol.

[@KayeHalliwell]

I’m so pumped to see Adam play this! As if I didn’t want to skip summer as it is.

[@BorfieKai]

Are you using the same recording for the outro rn or are you messing it up every time? Its very silly hehe

I use one recording for the month.

[@attackofthecopyrightbots]

well the developers said in the first life is strange that they were hugely influenced by telltale and david cage

[@GamerG101]

It’s so sad that I know this ability she gains in this is from the comics. I don’t remember much but I know the comics used the kill everyone ending and she just up and ditches the Chloe she saves for a different timeline where everyone lives, including Rachel. But I don’t think it was called “shifting”.

[@GavinAeilts]

Im hella hella hella excited.

[@mattbaltimore7195]

Yes!!!!!! Dumbsy is about to make another garbage edited video about this game for content!!!!!!! 😃😃😃😃😃😂😂😂😂😂

[@JaceAce22]

Wait, wasn't the whole point of the first game around her powers that anything that happens is destined cuz of the butterfly effect? Whenever preventable heavy shit happened, something else happened to balance it out. Chloe was just annoyingly cursed to die no matter what. Whether she saved or let Chloe die was the whole climactic decision of the game. Also, the concept of parallel timelines was ALREADY explored. When she went back in time through the photo and stopped Chloe's dad from going out and getting into the accident that killed him. But the trade off is that Chloe is destined to become a vegetable in a later accident, so to spare her of that life, she defaults to letting her dad die so she can go back to the original timeline. AND SO NOTHING FUCKING MATTERS and the world breaks apart until you choose to let Chloe die and save the town from the destiny tornado, or kill your family and the rest of the town for the price of driving out of town with Chloe.
