Farewell is gonna be sorrow from beginning to end, I don't wanna say goodbye to either character.

In a weird selfish way, for a long time I hoped LiS2 would be a continuation of Max and Chloe after Bae ending, trying to reconcile and move on in life together somewhere else.

Eh, as much as I love them both, it's time to move on to something new. I'm glad they're giving us this last episode to send them off at least.

If anything, you would want there to not be a second game because then you can assume everything is happily ever after.

That's completely fine. I just need the franchise to go on. There aren't that many games that can provide this level of feels.
Have you played Night in the Woods? I'm only a few hours into it, and although it's definitely different, it does kind of have some similar vibes as the ones I get from LiS. (I'm about to go play some more of it now actually haha)

I have not, actually. I'll check it out when I'm done with Before the Storm. Thanks for the rec.

I think a new setting and cast will be great for LiS 2 but I'll always want more Max and Chloe. Gimme some spin-offs, Square Enix!

How about a rhythm game?

Yeah, I kept hearing about it on here and on podcasts, and then Matthew, Hail Satan, and Pirate Bae all said they really liked it, so I picked it up the other day and so far I really like it too.

Oh yeah! very much recommend Night in the Woods, very similar to Oxenfree which also has some similarities to LiS. Won't cure that desire for more LiS but they help.

We shall now call him Cliff Baeszinski.

Regardless of what ending he did choose, I'm glad that he seems to have really enjoyed it. Hopefully he tries out Before the Storm soon too.

I was flippin' through the JP-PSN Store this morning and noticed a double-pack is up for pre-order with LiS1 and BtS for just ¥5400 which is a really good deal imo.

Wonder if SE will do a similar bundle in the west, could attract some new fans!

Thanks for the recommendations. I already love Warpaint but I'd never heard of Forest Park. Checking out their EP and they sound pretty great so far!

Funny enough, they're also from Portland, Oregon, so the Daughter soundtrack seemed incredibly appropriate to Before the Storm :P

If you're interested in other female-fronted post-rock, there's also
Stiu Nu Stiu (https://stiunustiu.bandcamp.com/),
Marriages (https://marriagesmusic.bandcamp.com/)
and Hunt (https://hunt.bandcamp.com/).

If you can stomach heavier stuff, then the entirety of Julie Christmas' work is absolutely amazing,
from her solo album (https://juliechristmas.bandcamp.com/album/the-bad-wife),
to Battle of Mice (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtkDfOMNBOo)
to Made Out Of Babies (https://madeoutofbabies.bandcamp.com/)
to her collab with Cult of Luna from 2016 (https://cultoflunaofsweden.bandcamp.com/album/mariner).

Yeah, I saw Portland on their bio and just thought "perfect" lol.

And thanks for even more recommendations. I don't really know any post-rock bands other than Mogwai and Explosions in the Sky so I'll definitely check these out. It's always fun to dive into unfamiliar genres.

I did just listen to July 31st by Julie Christmas and she's awesome! That song gave me goosebumps.

Forgot to ask earlier; does the bonus episode coming out this week have any new trophies?

Dunno yet, many are hoping so because it did previously but they had to remove the trophy so people who didn't buy the deluxe edition didn't get screwed out of the platinum.

I'd say if there is no additional trophies by Monday night, than probably not.

PSNP keeps a list of newly uploaded DLC trophy updates on their front page: https://psnprofiles.com/

I don't see why they wouldn't re-add any bonus episode trophies back in now that the main game is out. But it also seems kind of late. The trophies for the second Assassin's Creed Origins DLC that comes out on the 13th have been on PSN for over a week already.

Does anyone have links to some great podcasts or videos covering Before the Storm? I am especially interested in in-depth discussion and critical engagement with the game.

I'm leaving work early tomorrow to get this downloaded and played. Still haven't got a shipping notice on my vinyl edition+figures, hope I get an email tomorrow.
Also that Horizon Zero Dawn pose is amazing.
