T-shirt only costs 11-ish dollars, and I only bought some macaroni and Daniel's favorite chocolate bar for food. I didn't do this, but at the entrance to the park you can bust open the donation thing to steal money, not sure how much is in there.
Oh really? I for whatever reason read them as 50 but I think I missed the shirts and was looking at hoodies/coats, and I broke it open but there's nothing in there.
My theory on why Sean's _ _ _ _ _ _ didn't tell him about their past
Myabe Sean's dad was a mexican gang member, and moved to washington to turn his life around, which could explain why they don't have any actual family elsewhere in the US. He probably doesn't tell Sean about his past because it probably had something to do with drugs/crime. Why else would he not want to tell Sean about it?
Wouldn't that create a paradox causing a contradiction in space time? Like who would Nathan be in an argument with if she wasn't there to get shot. They both enter the bathroom don't think there is any way around that unless she changed something before that time but then again the game runs off the chaos theory so the disaster would happen anyway.
..........Holy shit, I just thought of some real eye opening shit. If everything Max came into physical contact with wasn't affect… moreed by her rewind, why didn't she just hold on to Chloe as she'd rewind? Chloe would be unaffected and would remember everything after the rewind.
Like who would Nathan be in an argument with if she wasn't there to get shot. They both enter the bathroom don't think there is any way around that
I meant the all the other times she’d rewind. And if Max did do something to stop Chloe from entering the bathroom, then the events that take place ahead of that moment would change as well.

oo interesting! guess that spoiler pic i accidently ran into on reddit was true. good thing, too.
i think i'll probably wait to play this until ep5 is released tho so i don't get telltaled.
I gave Life is Strange 2 a watch. I’m too confused to be angry about the premiere in any way but it’s just… nothing works.
The inciting incident happens out of nowhere. There’s no time beforehand to properly establish Sean’s life- his neighbourhood, group of friends, relationship with his family, his motivation. They’re very briefly touched upon (shitty neighbourhood, best friend Lyla, Daniel gets on his nerves, and he wants to get laid) but with that little development, I can’t feel truly there. So when Esteban died all of a sudden, despite how terrifying the situation would be for Sean the scene had no emotional value.
Despite its flaws, I can tell that a lot of love went into Max’s story. LiS 1 was an homage to supernatural-in-realistic-setting media like Twin Peaks or Donnie Darko, whilst also standing in its own right as a coming-of-age story about your choices having consequences for the world around you. But DONTNOD really don’t seem to know what direction they’re taking with Sean’s.
I’ll still watch the second episode when it comes out to give it a fair chance, but if the plot doesn’t pick up by then I might have to pass.
I have a question about how the Bay/Bae ending affects this episode though: I know the references from the Sacrifice Arcadia Bay ending but what happens if you sacrifice Chloe?
Well I loved it. The characters were very likable except for Mushroom who I feel is probably a traitor. DONTNOD is not afraid of politics and that is good...but it is nice that they show the good and bad of America.
The opening is sorta ripped out of todays headlines. In fairness to the rookie cop...it looked bad...but losing control and shooting a man is unforgivable. How hurt was Brett? Lyla is an angel. Daniel and Sean...I just want to hop in my car and save them. Brody is a hero in my books. Wish there was more musical interludes...but the great american road trip is the thing of Beatpoet legend.
Man life cockblocked our boy big time...but considering how fast she decided to follow her mom's advice and not have anything to do with us, tells me no big loss.
Just finished episode 1. Went into this expecting it to be crap based on the whole idea of it (ditching old characters and the first 15 mins looked shit). But after playing the first episode all I have to say is... WOW. Definitely my favorite LIS episode by far, I love the whole brother dynamic and the the length of this episode made it feel like a whole fucking journey. If the rest of the episodes keep up this length and quality this game is gonna be absolutely amazing, I cannot wait. Also I swear I feel like something is gonna happen to my boi mushroom and I’m gonna be pissed.
I'm in love with this game. I won't say it's better than the first one (at least for now, but the chances are huge), but... Wow, amazing! Amazing!
I screamed when I saw AB.

Their were a ton of great moments. I loved seeing Arcadia bay again, that was neat. The brothers bonding in the forest was fun, I loved how the incorporated a bunch of references to LOTR and TLOU, but mainly how the little brother acted like he was in Minecraft, that was funny. I really liked when I stole the tent and kicked that racist asshole for good measure (fuck him). But my favorite moment was probably the ending when they’re on the bus and Sean is telling Daniel the wolf story, it makes you reflect on all the shit they’ve already gone through and then you realize it’s just the beginning and they have a long journey ahead of them. I completely understand the 40$ price tag now because that episode alone felt like a fucking movie.
I feel like something is gonna happen to my boi mushroom and I’m gonna be pissed.
Same. If they so much as even LOOK at her the wrong way, it's WW IIII.
Also, what was your favorite part of ep 1?
I don't get the it's a new cast reasoning for people to ditch this game. Max and Chloe's story is over and there is no need to continue on with them for more than one game and i'm glad that Dontnod seems to think that, too.
I haven't played BtS yet, but my complete lack of interest in that game kinda shows how unnecessery it feels. Though, it didn't help that it focused on one of my least favorite characters, so take it with a huge grain of salt.
Life is Strange 2 started much stronger than the first game. The first game started okay, but got stronger all the way through episode 4 - with some hiccups here and there - only to spectacularly fail to stick the landing in the end.
Life is Strange 2 started with an episode that is really good from the get go. If it grows over time similar to the first game, it will surpass it easily by episode two or three. I just hope they can stick the landing this time....
I saw yesterday, that the amount of players for LiS2 is about 1/4th of the playerbase BtS had on launchday, which is sad. But there are some reasons for that.
The price-tag. 40€ for the season. That's double the amount of money for both LiS1 and BtS. I think it's actually worth that price, but a lot of people aren't sure just yet.
The time of release. BtS first premiered in august 2017 and LiS1 in january 2015. LiS2, however, in october. One of the most packed months in gaming. Releasing it with Shadow of the Tomb Raider was a pretty dumb move by Square Enix.
Most people will wait until it's finished, especially after the situation with Telltale. Can't blame them.
I have not played anything of LiS2, and I don't think I will for a while as a. the price scares me and b. I think opinions are a bit split on this first episode, so I'd rather wait and see if this is all worth it.
What I have seen though, is the opening song.
Again, Dontnod finds some great tunes. I don't know how these French guys do it.

The prices for BTS and lis have dropped over time, I remember paying £20 for lis season pass which covers eps 2-4, 1 was sold separately for £5, I think. Plus the market has changed over 4 years so the price difference is expected. let's hope dontnod treat their staff well with paid overtime and stuff.
I don't get the it's a new cast reasoning for people to ditch this game. Max and Chloe's story is over and there is no need to con… moretinue on with them for more than one game and i'm glad that Dontnod seems to think that, too.

It's only one episode, but I think it's a much better first episode than LiS1 and ANF. It's hard to compare it to other games that are so different to it.
If you liked LiS1, you will like LiS2. If you thought LiS1 was horribly written, you might enjoy LiS2 more, because the writing was actually improved.
I'd say Season 1 level. Some dumb crap happens but it's LiS. It's about walking on train-tracks to have good moments. It's about spending 5 minutes to set the scene. It's about that acousitc guitar. I think you'll enjoy it though.
Eh, it was a really simple storyline and had too slow pacing, and Sean's actions/dialogue are pretty dumb, e.g Sean when you don't even steal anything, there is no way to not respond to Lyla but keep the phone. But perhaps the biggest problem is the catalyst for the premise. The writers could've been more creative with that, I don't really see it as a jailable offence when they are not actually wrong. There is no evidence that Sean or Daniel have killed anyone, and it's injudicious to assume that just because 'hurr durr prejudice political' Sean and Daniel are innocent till proven guilty. It's such a half-witted opener, just like with the first game.
Nonetheless, Life is strange is Life is strange. And you bought Life is strange so you're getting Life is strange.
“Life is strange is Life is strange. And you bought Life is strange so you're getting Life is strange”
Exactly, so with knowing what I'm playing, I wasn't really suprised or disappointed when I hard some meh writing or cringy dialogue.. and honestly it wasn't that bad compared to LiS 1 or BTS.

Yeah, LiS 2 is a massive improvement. I'm looking forward to seeing how the brothers get to Puerto Lobos when they need to take a plane. And if Daniel will be able to control his powers, that could lead to some pretty interesting choices. 'Use your powers wisely and not greedily' and all that.

What if we need to kill Daniel like with Lenny in Of Mice and Men? Different circumstance and situation though. What Daniel and Sean have is the most important thing, and it could be heartbreaking if one of the brothers needs to die to let the other live normally.
Nah, everything will be allright.
Max lived in Seattle for a while and was into skater boys. Surely she took some pics of Sean.
All she has to do is zap back for a minute and make everything worse fix everything.

I found season 1 as just sorta decent. Its actually pretty great and much better than the slow crawl that was season 1's premiere. Hard to compare in walking dead levels but its super solid. and long too.

Following is meant in context of the game and stuff.
If you are confused why some characters treat you unfairly like gas station guy being overly hostile and assuming you stole and not wanting to believe what you say? That is where element known as "racism" comes in.
A lot of developers shy away from this stuff but it's one of central elements of this season. I think supernatural power element kind of undermines it though and it would be odd if it was five episodes of running.
Since protagonist and his brother look like Mexicans, it kind of makes sense why they don't expect to be treated fairly by the legal system.
Being hunted by police doesn't help their case either with those that recognize them, with some exceptions.

There wasn’t shit in there.
You probably confused the hoodie price with the T-shirt price.

So is LiS 2 Ep 1 good? Is it on the level of Season 1 of TWD or Season 2 or ANF level?
It is beyond all 3 combined😐
No offense.. but I'd rather listen to someone who knows what a good written story is
...how....how dare you? BEGONE
Nah.. I'm waiting for someone smart which you are clearly not to answer my question. So I'm not going anywhere. DEAL WITH IT
Okay... I'm downloading it. Will see if it's as good as you're telling me.

You will feel the wrath of my scorn for such insolence
