well it does rain right now and it's windy. :P
Very disappointed at the fact that E5 won't be on-disc! I'll wait for a re-release later on down the line, most likely. Already have the game digitally anyway.
I haven't played LiS2 at all. That'll definitely sour me when I do get around to playing it.LiS2 has some LiS patches in-game too, IIRC. So it's not some new tease or anything.
So I just finished Before the Storm for the first time. Got it on sale a while ago after playing Life is Strange and was just waiting until I found the right time, mood, and enough tissues to collect the storm of tears that were sure to follow.
Loved it! The best parts were the play, especially Rachel going off-script, everything about Steph and Mikey, Barb the Elf Barbarian, and watching Chloe transform more and more into her Life is Strange self. I really enjoyed getting deeper insight into Chloe's character. Though I do kinda feel like the 3rd episode wasn't quite as good as everything that built up to it, I'll never get tired of the feels and tough choices these games put me through. And speaking of choices, I'm still kinda torn on the final one...
I wasn't a fan of the lack of Rachel in the last episode, since this was her last chance to shine before life takes its inevitably tragic turn. Wasting finale time on Eliot also annoyed me. Unlike a lot of people I didn't hate Warren but this guy was Warren on steroids with a knife behind his back. I'm not saying his character wasn't believable, because I'm sure there are plenty of seemingly "nice" guys out there waiting to snap like that, but I'm not sure Arcadia Bay needed another unhinged dude popping up.
Anyway, I'm more interested in the ending and the idea that everybody lies. With games like this I always try to play exactly how I think the character themself would react and ignore my personal impulses, but obviously sometimes that's easier said than done. Chloe's well known for her brutal honesty and Rachel clearly hates being lied to. I was convinced at first that there was nothing Chloe wouldn't do to bring Rachel the truth and reunite her with her mother. But then Chloe has the chat with Ghost Dad about lies, and Sera is so insistent that the truth would only make things worse for Rachel, which I couldn't help but agree with. In the end I had Chloe lie, but I still keep wondering if that was just me wanting to spare Rachel from more pain during the brief time I know she has left. I suppose there's no easy answer, as indicated by the player results being split almost 50/50. I'm curious what most people here chose.
Probably gonna replay Life is Strange soon since I never did get the plat the first time around. If I end up sacrificing Chloe again it'll probably cut even deeper now, if that's possible. Yes, I chose Bay, don't look at me like that... trust me I didn't enjoy it! I cried hella hard during and afterwards. ;_;
I recommend obtaining the bonus episode (not sure what kind of bundle/package you got BTS with but I assume it wasn't included) because it's, in my opinion, better than the rest of BTS, assuming you like Max and Chloe.
Oh jeez, I predict you'll be back soon with another post...Just started it actually. And it already hurts, witnessing such innocent times. ;_;
You think it's better than the rest of BtS? Guess we have to disagree on something. Even though I still cried, it felt way too manipulative and I daresay twee. Playing it after LiS and BtS is basically taking the knife out, smothering it in salt, and then jabbing it back in while slowly twisting it. If anything, I'd recommend people play "Farewell" before BtS proper because then at least the complete LiS experience doesn't end with Chloe, alone, crying on the floor.I recommend obtaining the bonus episode (not sure what kind of bundle/package you got BTS with but I assume it wasn't included) because it's, in my opinion, better than the rest of BTS, assuming you like Max and Chloe.

I should have checked here before spending 20 minutes in paint trying to make it work, lol.
Soooo Ashly Burch plays Parvati in The Outer Worlds.
Blew my mind learning this just now. No wonder Parvati's the best.
YeahI still cannot believethey put David in the game and what happened to him. I thought visiting Arcadia Bay was going to be it! And when he talked about Chloe, I saw his tattoo, and they played "max and chloe" I choked up so hard... [/ SPOILER]
Yeah
I loved that so much, giving us more closure on the Bae ending was amazing. Just knowing that Chloe and Max are out there living a good fun life together after everything that happened, and that David and Chloe were finally able to have a healthy relationship with each other just makes me want to cry.

I knew someone would do this eventually, thanks for just taking a shit on my fun, very nice of you.They're out there "living a good fun life together" after almost everyone in Arcadia Bay is dead.
I get that it's just dumb fanservice, but eh. Chloe didn't want Max to save her over the Bay. Realistically, there would have been a ton of drama between them. Max saved Chloe, but she also let Joyce (plus a whole town) die. They knew something not "happily ever after" would upset the Bae crowd, though, so they just showed Chloe with green hair instead, even though it kinda flies against what LiS is about (not fairytale endings, that's for sure).
